RECEPTION TO MITCHELL.
Thousands Turn Out tss indianapolis
Strike Leaders, speech,

Thousands Turn Out tn tndian"poiis-
Strike Lenders speech.
Indianapolis, Jan. 19.-The city of In
dianapolis and its organized labor socie-
ties united tonight in a reception to
John Mitchell A parade with 1000 men
in line escorted Mr.. Mitchell and other
prominent labor leaders to Tomlinson
hall. which was crowded to the doors
Addresses of welcome were made by
Mayor RookwaIter and others.
President Mitchell was greeted with
cheer after cheer as he rose to speak.
Among other things he said
II am not vain enough to believe that
this splendid welcome is a personal trib-
ute to me- Credit for the settlement of
the great anthracite coal strike belongs
not to me- but to the women and chill
dren who suffered bitter privations for
five months in the coal fields that their
husbands and fathers might stand firm
to the cause of justice.
II can hardly discuss the matters
that are now in the hands of the strike
commission.
Il believe in the honesty of the tribu-
nal which has in its hands the settle
nent of our difficulty. 1t was not SO
much the strike Of the miners against
the owners, as it was the strike Of the
railroad proprietors against the Ameri-
can people. am one of those who be-
lieve in the people.
"Your townsman, Mr.. Parry. prophe-
sled that while there would be a large
crowd here tonight, there would be no
property owners. I would not do him
an injustice, for I know him quite well
and he may not be correctly quoted.
But I do not consider property as a
proper measure Of good citizenship. I
do not imagine that all the money Nor
gan possesses could make man. Why
should men like Mr.. Parry oppose the
organization Of labor? He himself is
president Of the National Manufacture
ers association. He really is its talk
ing delegate. Manufacturers, bankers,
grocers, wholesalers, preachers and sa-
loon men have their organiza tions.
Surely no one would deny us working
men the same rights as the whiskey
dealers?"
Mr. Mitchell closed his speech with
these words: "Organized labor stands
for more than higher wages. 1t would
take the breaker boy out of the mines
and put him in school. I found little
boys and girls who should have been
playing in the school yards bearing the
heaviest responsibilities of life in the
mines. l shall be glad if out of the an
thracite coal strike shall come a new re-
lationship between labor and capital,
one that will recognize the obligations
as well as the privileges that each owes
to each. Then, indeed. will our coun-
try be prepared to enter upon its new
and greater life.''

OF FORT SAN CARLOS
One Hundred aud twenty Shots Fired
from she Fort.

One Hundred aud Twenty Shots Fired
from she Fort.
Maracaibo, Venezuela, Jan. 19.-
There is no communication between
Maracaibo and the fort of San Carlos,
which was shelled Saturday by the
German cruiser Panther and which re-
turned the fire with the result that the
Warship retreated In the direction of
Curacao. One hundred and twenty
shots were fired from the fort during
the engagement and the walls of the
fort were slightly damaged. The Pam
ther has resumed her position at the
entrance of Lake Maracaibo, where she
maintains the blockade.
The reports that fhe German gunboat
at the time of the engagement was try
ing to force the entrance of the lake in
order to capture the Venezuelan gun
boat Miranda, which is hiding there,
are generally believed here. The Ven-
ezuelan government has given out a
statement to this effect.
Berlin, Jan 19.-The German navy
department has not received any Off
ciaI advices regarding the lombard
ment of Fort San Carlos, at the en-
trance to Lake Maracaibo, by the Ger
man cruiser Panther on Saturday, and
is unable to either confirm or deny the
press dispatches. But, the officials say,
assuming that something in the way Of
a bombardment took place, no orders
on the subject were sent from Berlin
Whatever was done was the result Of
the initiative of the commander on the
spot, to whose discretion the conduct of
the blockade was left. The government
relies on Commodore Scheder to OBJ
serve all the formalities usual in ap-
plying in force, and is confident that
neither he nor any subordinate COM
mander did anything not strictly in ac-
cord with the usages of international
law.
Caracas, Jan. 19.-The government
forced loan, which amounts to $4S3 900,
was subscribed entirely to-day by the
banks and the native and foreign mer-
chants of Venezuela. The government
is gratified with this answer to it's ap-
peal for funds.

900 Charter Oak stake at Hartford and

mary-$2,O00 to the first, 5000 to the sec
ond, $500 to the third and $500 to the
fourth. In case two or more horses are
tied for first place at the end of the
three heats the horses tied, and no 9TH

fee is to be five per cent. fiat, no more
for winners. 1t is believed that the

UNITED STATES TO ADOPT PLAN
OF RETALIATION.

Important Resolution introduced In
the sennts-Alnned at Russia, Germany
and France-PrefersnGiaT Duties for
Countries Not Discriminating Against
United States.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Lodge
to-day introduced a resolution directing
the committee on finance to inquire
whether certain countries are discrimi-
mating against the United States, and if
so what law should be passed to give
the countries preferential duties which
do not discriminate against this coun-
try. The resolution refers to the dis
examinations Of France, Germany, and
Russia against the United States. 1t
went to the table in order to give Sena-
tor Aldrich an opportunity to make
statement concerning the subject. The
text Of the resolution follows:
Resolved. First, that the committee
on tinance be instructed to inquire and
report to the senate whether any and
If so. what countries discriminate
against any article or articles the
growth or product Of the soil or indus
try of the United States by levying up
on such article or articles duties, i'm
posts, exercises or taxes in excess Of
those levied upon similar articles i'm
podted from other countries, or further
in any way cail to admit. the products
Of the United States or terms as favor
able as those accorded to any other ma
ton.
Second, That if it should appear that
any country or countries discriminate
against the United States in the man.
ner aforesaid, the committee on finance
shall report to the senate whether it is
not advisable that a suitable law should
he enacted by which maximum and
minimum rates Of duty shall be estab-
lished in such manner as to give pref
erence and advantage in rates of duty
to the products of those countries which
do not discriminate against the products
of the soil or industry of the United
States but admit them on an exact
equality with similar articles the prod
ucts of other countries and on the terms
and at the rates Of duty accorded to
the most favored nation
The resolution is intended as a notice
to foreign governments that dscrim-
mate or propose to discriminate against
the United States that this country will
seek method of retaliation. 1t is un-
derstood the senate finance committee
would not attempt to originate legisla-
ticn on the subject, but would prepare
plan.
