PRESIDENT CASTRO of Venezuela, who
has during late years more than once
played prominent part in disturbing
the peace of the western hemisphere, is
again ON the rampage, and his action in
refusing to arbitrate The claims OF the
United States against his country is
causing the administration considerable
ANNOYANCE. Venezuela was the cause OF
friction between the United States ana
Great Britain during President Cieye-
lands second term, and hardly had good
feeling been restored when the waters
were again disturbed by Castro coming
into collision with several European
nations concerning certain claims. There
are. of course, two sides to all disputes,
and Castro may have much to urge in
extenuation of his action, but the fact
that he has figured so often recently in
broils with other nations is unfortunate
for him, to say the least. Venezuela is
but a bantam among nations, and there
is every reason to believe that she pre-
sumes the United States will be COM
PEELED to espouss her cause fright or
wrong in maintaining the Monroe doc
trine. But Castro is now as defiant
toward the mother republic as he has
been to European countries, and the out
come is awaited with interest

Death Closes a Long Trace.

AS was stated in the Gazette, enc OF
the most remarkable cases in the expert
ence Of the doctors Of the Presbyterian
Hospital, in New York. ended yester-
day in the death Of Miss Luella Huestis,
OF Mount Vernon, who, with her mother,
Mrs. James II. Heustis, had been ia
trance for Is days prior to her death.
More than two weeks ago both Of the
women were found unconscious in the
home of Henry w. Heller, lawyer, of
New York, and were supposed to have
been ssphyxiated by gas. Neither had
since recovered consciousness and ply
sicians and hypnotists we're puzzled by
their unaccountable coma.
Miss Huestis was an attractive young
woman, aged 22 years. Lack of nour-
ishment was the principal cause of her
death. as it had been impossible to give
her food, except in liquid form and
through tube. Stimulants aud oxygen
were administered without effect.
A singular fact is that the young
woman's mother, who lay 10 an adjoin.
ing room, began to show signs OF the
approach OF death soon after the death
Of her daughter. Like her daughter
the mother also is greatly emaciated
and the physicians at the hospital say
that her low vitality is due practically to
starvation.
One specialist in hypnotisn and psy-
chology, who investigated the case, has
made public his conclusion that the swo
women had unconsciously hypAetized
each other. and thst gas ssphyxiatiop
had nothing to do with the case. He.
explained that he had himself been hyp-.
netized while hypnotizing patient andl
had only been awakened by the arousing
of the subject.
The case of the two women has AZ
tracted the attention of scientists alb
over the country.

A COMPANY in Richmond, which
seems to have access to the books of the
Corporation Commission, ia sending out
circulars to the various companies char
tered under the laws Of Virginia, sug-
gestiug that these companies reduce their
capital stock and stating that such re-
ductiOn would bring about reduced
annual tax that these companies have to
pay. OF course the primary object OF
the company in sending out these circu-
lars is the fee it expects to secure, but
the effect will be to considerably reduce
the States revenues from taxation upon
corporations, unless the commission
hold the several corporations strictly up
to the letter of the law under which they
secure their charters.

has entered into the ethereal great be-
yond. The Imagination of the great
novelist was brilliant and his mind
trayersed the universe. The sun, moon,
stars "and all the host Of them" were
to his fancy near neighbors. The novel
isl often illustrated the correctness Of
the observation that truth is stranger
than fiction, as many of his conceits of
years ago, while at the time regarded as
Arabian Nights dreams, have crystalized
into facts. He died in the firm belief
that all his extravagant anticipations of
the future will be realized.

Effects of Target Practice on Fish.

Effects of Target Practice on Fish
The Navy Department has made public
a communication from the Department
of Commerce aud Labor giving informa-
ton and suggestions from the Bureau Of
Fisheries regarding the effects of target
practice by the naval vessels on fishing
of the New England coast. Copies Of
the communication have been sent Ia
senators and representatives, through
whose hands petitions have come TO the
department from coastwise residents OF
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and
in which the request is made that gun
firing be suspended in the vicinity ofthe
fishing grounds.
The Fisheries Bureau says the variation
in abundance during the years covered
by the target practice and the years inn
mediately preceding are such as occur
normally. Tn the immediate vicinity
OF the warships during the gun firing
fishing would undoubtedly be inter-
rupted," it is stated, "but it would be
contrary TO all experience if fish, fright
ened by the noise and shock, remained
away from favorite waters after the con-
c!usion of the disturbance.
The communication says that 'in
view Of the exceptional advantages AT
forde1 by the Gay Head grounds and the
short time covered by the work, it is be-
lieved by this department that the Navy
Department would be justified in conlinu-
ing to use those grounds for the purpose
in question until it shall have been
definitely established that the fisheries
are suffering injury thereby"
The letter from Prof. George II.
Parker, of Harvard University, to the
Bureau of Fisheries is appended, ia
which this statement is made "Since
the discharge OF heavy firearms on war
vessels produces vibrations in the water
that would vigorously stimulate proba-
bly, both the ears and the later line or
gans of fishes, and since this stimulus,
even when slight, drives the fishes away,
l believe that the grounds stated in the
two petitions referred to above we'll taken
aud that the petitions deserve serions
consideration. l." He says be would
hazard the guess that from the firing of
big gun the fish would be influenced
for distance of half a mile, and posi-
oily more, but he adds that this is
mere guess.

drews, which has been aired In court in
Newport News in connection with his
complaint against John w. Rodgers, a
naval hospital steward, accused of ehtic-
ing Andrews young wife away, had a

intimated that she would follow the
steward wherever he went. Yesterday
Andrews called on his wife and begged
her to return to him, threatening to take
the contents of bottle of arsenic If
she refused. She ran through the kitch-
en- past him, and he pursued her through
a narrow alley, shooting twice at her.
She went back into the house and
slammed the front door 10 bis face. He
broke the glass with his ast and thrust |
the pistol through the hole aud fred |
three mere shots as she went upstairs. |
The woman fell, and Andrews thought
he had killed her. Realling the cham
bers of the revolver, he started north along
the river bank, pursued by a crowd. |
Jake Van Arsdale, a policeman off duty,
tried to head Andrews of, when he held |
the officer up with the revolver, 6red
one shot at his pursYera, and them emp
tied the pistol into his own head.
