NEW DEMAND ON CASTRO.
State Department Not Satisfied With Ms
Explanation.

Washington Especial 1T was an
nounced at the State Department that
the United States has called upon Ven
ezuela for additional information re-
garding the case of Mr.. Jaurett, the
American who, several months ago,
was summarily expelled from Vene-
zuela by order of President Castro. II
is possible this case may develop into
one of great international Importance
and affect seriously the relations between
the United States and Venezuela.
1t is said at the State Department,
by the highest authority there, that
report was recently received from Vene-
zuela III response to the first request Of
this Government for information re-
garding Mr.. Jaurett's case, but this re-
port proved unsatisfactory. In effect,
Venezuela stated that she owed Mr..
Jaurett no money (Which the United
States already knew and which fact
and that the publication by Mr.. Jaurett
IN his paper of certain statements had
been exceedingly harmful to Venezuela.
While it is admitted at the State De-
partmert that any sovereign country
has the right to expel any citizen Of an
other country who is considered unde-
sirable, it is believed to be the privi-
lege' of the country of which such a
man is a citizen to inquire into the rea-
son for such expulsion
1t seems, as far as can be ascertained
at the department, that the alleged OBJ
jectionable matter published by Mr.
Jaurett related to the existing coutro-
versy between the United States and
Venezuela regarding the asphalt prop
critics of the New York and Bermudez
Company, which have been seized by
order of President Castro. The rela-
tons of the United States and Vene-
zuela, through the course of Castro, are
now none of the best, and ii may be
that the United States will yet, it is
said at the State Department, be forced
to bring Venezuela to terms in man
ner which that country, and particularly
President Castro, will not be likely to
forget

A POINT FOR CHADWICK
Gov. OteIl's Clerk Refuses Requisition
for the Doctor.
TO BE ARRESTED ON LANDING.
Cleveland Sheriff Awaits the Accused MAJ
Who Is Expected This Week Papers Failed
to Show That Dr.. Chadwick Was In the
State Of Ohio on March S, 1903. When the
Forgery Was Alleged.

Albany, ~ Y Especial, sheriff
Barry. of Cleveland, Ohio, who expects
to arrest DIR. Leroy S. Chadwick, hus-
band of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, when
he lands in New York on the charge OF
forging the name Of Andrew Carnegie,
met check in his plans when he failed
TO obtain from Governor Odell the
requisition papers necessary to permit
the transportation of DR. Chadwick to
Ohio for trial He called at the execu-
tive chamber in the Capitol, but was
informed by Judge John T. Joyce, the
Governors pardon and requisition clerk,
that his papers were defective in that
they failed to show that DR.. Chadwick
was in the State of Ohio on March 5,
1908, when the forgery was alleged to
have been committed
Sheriff Barry decided not to try to
correct his papers now, but to go on to
New York and arrest DR. Chadwick
and arrange for his requisition after
ward
Before leaving for New York on Sun
day the Cleveland Sheriff telegraphed
to the executive department here asking
that his papers be prepared so that there
might be no delay on his arrival When
the telegram was received Governor
Odell was at his home in Newburg and
the message was given to his pardon
clerk. Judge Joyce phoned the Govern
or and received authority from him
to deliver the desired warrant in case
the applicants papers were properly
drawn up.
When the Sheriff learned that his
proof was defective there was at first
some talk of his returning in person to
Ohio for the purpose of getting the
corrections. After further consultation
he concluded to telegraph to have the
necessary afidavits prepared and sent
to him in New York. He said that this
was purely formal matter, and that af-
fidavits could be promptly obtained
showing that DR.. Chadwick was in
Ohio on or about March S, 1908.
New York (SpeciaD Sheriff Barry,
of Cleveland, reached New York from
Albany, where he will remain until the
arrival of he steamship Pretoria, which
is bringing DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, Of
Cleveland, and his daughter, Miss Mary
Chadwick.
Mr. Barry was not at all disconnected
over his inability to obtain the requisi-
ton papers from Governor Odell, which
would permit him to take DIR. Chadwick
to Ohio. The Sheriff said:
Mr. Keller has already forwarded
to me an affidavit giving the testimony
before the grand jury tending to show
that DR. Chadwick was in Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, on March S, 1908, upon
which date the alleged crime was COM
mitted.
Il am here on sad GRAND, for
have known Dr. Chadwick many years
and our relations have been OF the pleas
ATTEST nature. shan do everything in
my power to make his trying situation
as easy as possible | am especially So
licitous that Miss Chadwick shall be
spared any humiliation"

AT MERCY OF ANGRY SEAS
The Steamer DrumeIzier is Pounding
to Pieces.
Llfe-savers Unable to Reach the Stranded
Vessel. An Sight Of Which Was Cut OFF
BY the Dense Fog Captain Would Not Al
low His Grew to Be Taken Off When the
Seas We're Not So High.

New York (SpeciaD.-Efforts to
learn whether Captain Nicholson and
the crew Of the British tramp steamer
Drumelzier are still aboard the vessel
which is aground on the bar at Fire IS
land, have been unsuccessful, and the
life-savers were still watching from the
beach in the hope of communicating
with the ship.
Hidden in black fog and pounded
by fierce seas rolling from the south
east, the steamer was in imminent dan
ger of going to pieces. If her captain
and crew of 81 men are still in the ship
they face an almost certain death in
the heavy surf breaking over the sandy
beach.
The captain would not let the life
savers take off his crew when the seas
were not running SO high, and it was
too late to help them. No lifeboat in
the world could be launched in the
teeth of the southeast gale that was
blowing up great waves and crashing
them down on the shore.
The fog was SO thick that the strand
ed vessel could not be seen from the
shore, 200 yards away
Two rescuing tugs were by the YES
sci all night, but no report was received
from them, and it is thought they have
failed to escape the wrath of the rising
storm.
The crews of both the Fire Island and
Oak Island Life-saving Stations were
on the beach opposite the Drumelzier.
but they were helpless
The Drumelzier belongs to the As
trail Shipping Company, of Liverpool,
England, but is under charter to Bar
her & Co. Until recently she was used
between Baltimore and Daiquiri, Cuba
and her last two trips were very excit-
ing. She encountered hurricane that
stove in all her boats and put hole in
her side. Three days overdue, she hob
bled into Havana. She measures 1888
tons net. Her crew consists of 81 men,
with Captain Nicholson, First Mate
Hutchinson, Second Mate Smith, Third
Mate Richardson and Chief Engineer
Wood.
The cargo of the Drumelzier is valued
at about 100000. 1t consists of cop
per, steel, oil and pig lead In her
hold there is also an automobile, valued
at $4,000 which is consigned to France.
AT this port the Drurnelzier loaded
1904 fiat steel billets, valued at $4,000,
and ST. oak planks (28.5oo feet). valued
at $500, for Swansea, Wales.
The captain of the Fire Island Life
saving Station reports tonight that the
schooner Frank w. Mccullough, from
Georgetown, S. c., which went ashore
December 20 on Fire Island Bar, is
afloat and lying on her side. He has
sent for assistance and will make an
effort to save the vessel.

"The first stogy was made by

and which mus1 be true, IS, that
the long clleroots derived their
names from the town Of Cones
toga. Pa. An emigrant train OF
wagons was finding its way across
the state. and supply of tobacco
was found at Conestoga. The
emigrants got a lot OF II, but failed
10 get any pipes, and so could
not smoke unless they made pipes
themselves. Necessity Is the moth
er Of invention. You may have
heard that remark before. Any
now, one OF the men rolled Z leaf
q tobacco in his hand and wrap
ped it with another leaf. That
was the first st0gy. Others fol
lowed his example, and they al
sailed the article that they made /
stoga, in iloror of the town a.
which the tobacco was secured.
That is said TO be the true story
OF how the name .stogy origin

Hen Matches Fish Eggs.

The Chinese have a method OF
Matching the spawn OF FISH, and
thus protecting i from those acci-
dents which generally destroy a
large portion Of It. The fisher
men collect from the margin and
surface of water all those gelatin
Gus masses which contain the
spawn OF FISH. and after they have
found a sufficient quantity they
fill with It the shell OF a fresh
laid hens egg, which they have
previously emptied, stop up the
hole and put IL under a sitting
fowl. At the expiration OF a Ger
tain number OF days they break
the shell in water warmed BY the
sun. The young fry are present
IL hatched. and are kept in pure,
fresh water till they are large
enough TO be thrown into the
kond with the old FISH.
