RANGE OF LUNG
SURGERY INCREASED,
Celebrated Breslau Surgeon Makes In
vention for the Exposure Of the
Human Lungs.

London, March pa celebrated Bres-
1au surgeon is expected to make at this
weeks annual German surgical congres
the first announcement of an inventio4
providing for the exposure of the human
lungs for operative purposes.
Experts already acquainted with the
process say that the invention will widely
increase the range of chest surgery and
operations in the region Of the aesopha-
gus and throat. 1t consists of an air
tight cabinet, holding the patient and two
operators, the patients head protruding
through an opening at the side. The
principle involved is the reduction of the
air pressure around the exposed lung, SO
as to prevent it's collapse.
Experiments on animals have proved
completely successful. After the animals
were anaesthetized, the air within the
cal inet was pumped out sufficiently to
lower the mediury a fraction of an inch.
The lungs, upon pressure, filled up with
air and emptied themselves regularly,
and the heart action continued uninter-
rupted, except by anaesthesia. When the
air pressure within the cabinet was in
creased the lungs Immediately collapsed
and remained collapsed until the air was
again rarifed, when respiration became
normal.

He denies everything, though he was

FORCE VENEZUELA.
German Government Is Said to Be Plan
ming to Collect Large In
demnity.

Washington, D. c., March 26-Nene-
zuela is in danger of being blockaded
again by n squadron of German cruisers,
which may appear at La Guayra about
April ! to demand the immediate pay
ment of the installment of German
claims against the South American re-
public.
Although it is denied at the German
embassy that such policy is contemp-
lated or will be adopted, it is true that
the Vineta, Fake and Panther. three
German cruisers, are now lingering at
Curacao. only o few hours sail from the
Venezuelan coast. Baron Won SternDurg,
the German ambassador, always has
counseled moderate course IN dealing
with Venezuela and he Will continue 10
do so.
Situation More Tense.
The situation at Caracas is perhaps
more tense than at any time before the
blockade of last year. In order to releve
the situation, which might tempt some OF
the European powers TO resort 10 force
in attempting to collect their claims, the
United States government has decided TO
notify President Castro that MS govern
ment must set aside not less than S1.OSO,-
600 annually for the payment of all
claims or the officials of the Belgian gov
ernment will take charge of the customs
revenues which Venezuela has promised
TO set aside for the payment of claims.
This will be in pursuance of the terms
of the peace protocols negotiated during
the blockade last year.
Pledged Customs Duties.
During those negotiations Venezuela
pledged to set aside 80 per cent. of its
customs receipts at La Guayra and Porto
Cabello to be used in the payment of
claims, which were expected to be liq-
Undated within three to six years. The
money was turned into the English bank
regularly. as provided by the agreement,
but recently the foreign interests, await
ing the payment of the first instalment
now due, became suspicious. and charged
that the full 80 per cent. of the revenues
We're not being set aside.
The conduct of President Castr2 caused
strained relations between the powers.
Minister Bowen again made representa-
tions to President Castro and secured Il
promise to improve conditions.
To Set Aside Funds.
But President Castro failed to redeem
his promise and finally Minister Bowen
recommended to the department of state
that Venezuela be called upon to set aside
$1,OSO,00O annually for the payment of
the foreign claims, and upon failure to do
this the United States should insist that
officials of the Belgian government take
over the administration Of the customs
revenues of Venezuela.
Minister Bowen was directed by Secre-
tary Hay to make representations of this
character to President Castro. This &C
ton was taken by the United States so as
ID prevent the European nations from re-
sorting to force or to blockade in the col
lection of their claims.

INCENDIARY FIRES
CONGRESSMAN'S BARN,
Loss of $1,000 Incurred by W. B. Brown
at Rhinelander-Same Barn En-
tered Year Ago.

Rhinelander, Wis, March 29.-[Spe-
cial. Fire early this morning, thought
to be of incendiary origin, destroyed the
large barn belonging to Congressman w.
E. Brown and contents, including four
horses, four COWS, nine wagons and car
riages, four sleighs and several sets of
harness, valued at $4,000. The barn was
a roaring furnace when discovered. The
theory is borne out by the fact that no
fire OF any description was about the
premises. The same barn was entered
March II last year and 500 worth of
harness was ruined with knife. An in
vestigation is in progress.

twelfth stood alone. The court add
monished the lone juror that the expense
of a new trial should not be incurred be-
cause of him failing to agree with the
majority of the jurors. A precedent was
quoted, showing that the majority of
the jurors should decide the case before
them and verdict be rendered according
ly. The jury was then told to go back
and poll its vote once more. Soon after
the jury reported, bringing in a verdict
but Judge Adams found that third
count in the Indictment had not been con
sidered, and again he sent the jury back
to consider the case, without having an
nounced the verdict returned.
The third time the jury entered the
courtroom the result of its deliberations
was announced, and United States Senator
Burton stood convicted on the charges
brought against him in the Indictment.
Senator Burton Calm.
Court having adjourned, Senator Bur
ton calmly lighted a cigar and turning
to his attorneys and his private secre-
tary, Col. w. W. Smith, began con
versation in a low tone. He appeared
completely composed.
If today's verdict is sustained Senator
Burton will lose his seat in the Senate
and forever be prohibited from holding
any office of public trust. Each count
constitutes a separate offense and Sena-
tor Burton could receive penitentiary
sentence of two years or a $4,000 fine
on each count Senator Burtons convic-
ton is the first under this section OF the
statute, which was enacted by Congress
in 1864.
Senator Burton was indicted in Janu-
airy last. Although as a member of Con
gress he could not be arrested until after
that body adjourned, he voluntarily sur
rendered himself to the prosecuting au-
thorities. He still had two years to

there. Soon after he returned with three
deputy sheriffs and attempted to arrest
