Stitches In Heart and Lungs.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2O.-A remarkable surgical operation was performed at the City hospital to save the life of Edward Spilker, nineteen years old, who had attempted suicide by shooting himself in the left breast. An aperture was made, and between puIsations the wound in the heart was closed with three stitches. The bullet had also per forated the apex of the left lung. A portion an inch and a half square was cut away, a heavy silk igature tied about the lung, drawing tubes being established and the chest cavity closed. The patient speedily rallied, and it is believed he will recover.

ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 2O.-The joint Republican caucus last night nomi- mated Thomas c. Platt to succeed him. self as United States senator by a vote of 1OS to 1 for Elihu Root. the latter cast by Assemblyman William A. Deni- son of Jefferson.
 Senators Bracket, Brown and Els berg and Assemblyman Clark of the Twenty ninth NeH York district were absent, it is supposed by intention, oth- CT members absent being accounted for. Previous to the caucus brief ses- sions of the two houses were held. Charles A. Gardner of New York was chosen by the joint Republican caucus to be voted for as regent of the univer- sity in place of Chancellor Upson, de- ceased.
 The Democratic senators and assem- blymen held their caucus in the senate chamber and unanimously Nominated Hon. John E. Stanchfield of Elmira as their candidate for United States sena- tor and Dr. James l.. Milne of Cort- land, who practices law in New York, for regent of the university.
 The session of the senate lasted but twenty. minutes. Lieutenant Governor Higgins presided and the galleries were crowded.

GONZALES IS DEAD.
Shot Fired by lieutenant Governor of South Carolina Proves Fatal.


 of South Carolina Proves Fatal.
 COLUMBIA, s. O., Jan. 2O.-N. G. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State, who was shot on the street here by Lieutenant Governor James H. Till man, a nephew of United States Sena- tor Tillman, is dead Of his wound. The announcement of his death has revived much of the feeling of antago- nism against Tillman which developed when the circumstances attending the shooting became known. Tillman is in jail, and with the certainty that he will be tried for murder there is some talk of summary punishment. Since the shooting, with encouraging reports from the bedside, of the wound- ed editor, resentment against Tillman had somewhat died away.
 Those who recalled the bitterness of the attacks on Tillman in the State, written by Gonzales, to which he at tributed his defeat for the office of gov ernor, were disposed to condone the act as long as there was hope that the victim would recover.
 Since the announcement of Gonzales death, however, few can be found who attempt to justify the shooting.

BOWEN HAS ARRIVk1
Our Minister Comes as Vene
 zuela's Special Envoy.
SOME WILD RUMORS SET AT RES
Actual Expenses Only Paid by Gas tro - No ExtravaRant Sums Off, 9ered-AdJustme of C1aimS
 VIII Now Proceed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O-Ministe Bowen arrived in Washington today Concerning the published reports tha he had been offered extravagant @um, of money by President Castro to repre- sent the government of Venezuela iH the dispute with Germany and Grea Britain, Minister Bowen said tha, many false statements had been circu lated. "When the question of remuner ation was mentioned" he said, "I in formed President Castro that would not accept more than was required for my actual expenses, and put an out side limit of $5, 900 on the agreement This was paid me in gold on my depar ture from La Guayra. That is all ] asked, and it is all I will receive"
 Minister Bowen was accompanied by his wife. It is understood that the rep resentatives of Great Britain and Italy do not feel it incumbent on them tc await the coming of Baron Speck von Sternburg before beginning their con ferences with MT. Bowen. Neither the London nor Rome foreign officials are inclined to favor settlement of theil claims by joint commission, the point being made that they are not interest. ed in the claims of each other or ot Germany.
 1t has been agreed that the claims of private citizens for injuries suffered in Venezuela shall be the first to be ad- justed. These claims in the case of Germany are believed to aggregate nearly $50O,O0O, while those of Great Britain are between $2OOOOO and $3OO,- 900. The powers will insist upon an early settlement of these obligations, and so far as Great Britain and Italy are concerned they are prepared to ac- cept reasonable guarantee for prompt payment. All hope that the United States intends standing surety for these obligations has been dismissed, but an effort will be made to secure them ei- ther by the customs collections of Ven- ezuela or by proceeds of a Venezuelan loan. A cash payment will be demand ed so far as Great Britain and Italy are concerned, provided satisfactory guarantee by Castro is offered.
 The allied pow%s have not commit ted themselves as yet regarding the raising of the blockade. No such re- quest has been made, and as one diplo- mat put it yesterday, we do not in- tend to cross that bridge until we come to it.'' But intimations have reached Washington that Italy and Great Brit ain are not inclined to favor a con- tinuation of the blockade after the ne- gotiations have been opened.
