italian Steamer Venezuela Confirms
Report From Colombia.

COLON, November %. 10 am.-The Ital-
fan steamer Venezuela, which arrived here
today from Savanilla. confirms the pre-
vious statements 10 the effect that Carta-
gena and Savanilla are closed to steamers
going to or coming from Colon.
The Venezuelas agents at Savanilla rep
resented that the Venezuela was not aware
of the closing of the ports. and asked as a
special favor that a Colon clearance be
granted
The authorities acquiesced but said they
could not do so again. The decree closing
the ports of Cartagena and Savanilla origi-
mated with the government of the depart
ment of Bolivar. The protests of the for
eign consuls and steamship agents are still
unheeded.

The luncheon was informal and no

guests. Whether 1t was done on purpose or
otherwise there was a touch of grim humor
in the fact that Mr.. Ghoate placed Mr.
Bryan between Mr.. Balfour and Mr.

MEN REPORT FOR WORK
COMPACT GIVES THEM BETTER
WORKING HOURS.
Strikers Will Be Taken Back Without
Prejudice-Status of Union
Defined.

CHICAGO. November 25-The Chicago
street car mems strike was brought to
close today by the ratification by the men
of a compact agreed upon by their leaders
and representatives of the company.
After thirteen days of turmoil service on
the various lines of the Chicago City Rail
way Company, covering an area of fifty
two square miles. was resumed. The strik-
ers met in Federation Hall, which hiss been
their headquarters, and the place was
crowded when President Buckley of tie
local organization called the meeting to or
der.
Newspaper Men Excluded.
The first act was to exclude newspaper
men from the hall, and for nearly Two hours
thereafter the public was ignorant OF the
details of the proceed ngs Sounds, indicat-
ing that speeches were being made, and
frequent cheering, gave evidence that the
terms arranged by the strike leaders were
acceptable.
The first news from the hall was that the
men, by practically an unanimous vote, had
accepted the proposition to arbitrate the
matter of wages the scale to be based on
wages paid in other cities. Soon af;er a
second announcement proclaimed the ac-
ceptance of the whole compact.
Ordered to Report for Work.
With this announcement came the state
ment that the union men had been ordered
to report to the various barns ready to take
out cars Immediately.
The agreement as ratified by the men and
previously accepted by representatives Of
the company, provides for the settlement of
tie wage question by a board Of arbitra-
ton.
Their present wages are not to figure in
the calculations but instead the new scale
is to be based on the market value of the
mems services. AS the company claims to
pay the best wages. the new arrangement.
it is thought may not result in an advance
in the pay OF the employees.
Better Working Hours.
Clause II of the agreement provides for
the betterment of working hours, the new
running schedule to be arranged by the
company in conference with committee of
trainmen.
The company retains the right to run as
many cars as are necessary at all times
''cndeavoring always" the agreement runs
Ito make the work as agreeable to the
men as is consistent with the performance
or Its duty to the public"
The third and last clause provides that
the strikers shall be taken back without
prejudice.

stitute proper cause for discharge from
the company's employment. With this ex
ception, the company retains the right to

1t sees fit.
The agreement was passed unanimously,
but not without careful consdera ton.

TAKES VOICE CULTURE
EMPEROR WILLIAM LEARNING
THE RUDIMENTs.
Physicians Say He Will Regain His
Speech Within Few
Weeks.

BERLIN November 25.-Emperor Will
lam has changed his voice, modulatlns it SO
as to reduce the pressure on the vocal
chords He now speaks in somewhat
lower pitch, his utterances resonating
against the cavities of the mouth.
He has not yet trained himself fully, and
he may take the services of a teacher so
that ne can apply correctly the method
taught in voice culture. His throat spe-
cialists have explained to him the theory OF
voice production, which he has practiced
with considera BILE success.
e Quits Old Way of Speaking.
The emperor, heretofore, has been using
his larynx in the ordinary fashion. that is,
expelling the air against the chords without
counter pressure produced by rebound
from the resonating cavities. 1t will be pos
sible, when the emperors voice is trained
completely, for him to speak easily, more
clearly and longer without the slightest in
furious strain.
The chords will be able to carry quite as
far or even further.
Diseases May Be obviated.
The emperor's advisers have accepted the
theory of DR.. H. Holbrook Curtis, which
has been made familiar to the German ply
sicians by Prof II. krause. the throat spe-
cialist who attended the late Emperor Fred
erick Prof. Krause believes that several
throat disease can be obviated and in some
instances cured by using the voice sc1en-
tificaly.
The official announcement that the en-
peror had begun course of voice culture
was contained IN the following bulletin
signed by his physicians:

THE surgical wound on the left vocal
chord has been SCARED over since Novem-
Der 10. His majesty, the emperor and king,
will still require careful use of his voice for
