Chicago. March 21.--The govern

the oath TO the veniremen, whose
names have been kept profound
secret for three weeks by the officials

MINISTER JOINS LAsoR UNION.
Admitted On Request of Brooklyn
Presbytery.

New York, March 21.-A minister
has been admitted to membership in
the Central Labor union of Brooklyn,
an organization representing various
bands of skilled workmen on Long ISL
and. lie joined as fraternal dele
gate and at the request Of the Brook
lyn presbytery, which has reached the
conclusion that hitherto the church
has not entered into fellowship with
organized labor as 1t should have done.
So far as the union members were able
to learn ii is the first time that such
q departure has been taken by any
similar body in this country. Only
one vote was cast in opposition.
The new delegate Is Rev. Warren
H. Wilson, pastor of the Arlington
Avenue Presbyterian church. In an
address following his election he said
the presbytery believed that the
church had strayed from the divine
teachings in not taking a deeper inter-
est I'm the welfare of the laboring men.
He thought that the church did not
fully understand the objects of labor
unions and believed that the time is
at hand when 1t should be enlightened
on those subjects.

PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA NOTi-
FLED TO STOP INTERFERENCE
WITH CABLE COMPANY.
WARSHIpS HURRYlNG TO THE SCENE
FORCE WILL BE USED TO BACK
UP THE POSITION TAKEN BY
THE FRENCH MINISTER.

Washington, March 21-The French
cable complications have reached
crisis and Minister Bowen has in
formed the state department that the
French minister at Caracas, by in
struetions of his government, has noti-
fed the Venezuelan government that
there must be no further proceedings
on it's part of the cancellation OF the
company's franchise or interference
with it's property. Further Mr.. Bowen
reports that two French warships have
been ordered post haste to Venezuela
to act in accordance with the instruc-
tions of the French minister. These
are the cruiser Duplex and cruiser
Jurien de la Graviere, now in the Car
ribean sea.
IT is the expectation here that the
appearance of these ships at La
Guayra will cause President Castro to
accede promptly to the demands OF
the French minister, falling which the
minister probably will place the lega-
tion in the care of some other minister
at Caracas and go aboard one of the
warships, thus seyering diplomatic re-
lations between France and Venezuela.
French Plan of Campaign.
The present situation cannot con
tinue more than few days, according
to the oifi cial opinion here. There may
be some further exchanges relative to
the affairs of the cable company
through third parties and the possibil-
ity of pressure being brought to bear
on President Castro by other diplo-
mats at Caracas is suggested. II the
Venezuelan government seizes the ca
BILE office near La Guayra 1t is fully
expected that the French warships will
make demonstration, attempt to land
force to recover possession of the
property and, If resisted, open fire on
the defensive works recently construct
ed to command the harbor and road
stead at La Guayra The Dutch gov.
ernment has lodged very serious
complaint with President Castro
against the treatment of it's citizens
and 1t may join with France in CO.
ercive measures.
The French government has not
asked the consent of the United States
to its proceedings against Castro, nor
does Ii feel called upon to do so.

NOTHING BUT ASHES REMAIN OF
MANY VICTIMS OF BROCK.
TON EXPLOSION.
FIFTY-FIVE BODIES ARE RECOVERED
EXAMINATION OF BOOKS NECES-
SARY TO ESTIMATE NUM-
BER OF MISSING.

Brockton, Mass, March 22.-Under
gloomy skies and with snow and rain
falling upon them searchers contin-
ued during the day to turn over the
cinders and charred timbers of the
Grover shoe factory In the effort to
find bodies of those who perished by
the terrible boiler explosion. The
work, which night had not been suf-
fered to interrupt, was carried on with
greater celebrity after daylight and by
an increased force, but the results
seemed to indicate that few bodies re-
mained In the ruins.
Up to o'clock only two additional
bodies had been found. bringing the
total number up to fifty-ive. OF these
sixteen had been identified. A few
of the persons reported missing were
accounted for during the day, the list
of employees heard from at noon num-
bering 253 There was still doubt as
TO the exact number of persons in the
factory at the time of the explosion
and until this question Is settled by
an examination of the books in the
factory vault a more definite estimate
OF the number lost cannot be made.
Bodies Reduced to Ashes.
Medical Examiner Payne, who has
been at the ruins of the factory almost
continually, said he was convinced
that nothing but ashes remain of many
OF the operatives who were caught in
the factory, SO that undoubtedly many
victims never will be accounted for
The fingers of many of the victims
laid out at the morgue are worn down
TO the second joints, indicating des-
perate efforts to release fettered limbs
before the onward rush of flames
reached the victim.
When the boiler ploughed its way
upward through the factory many OPP
eratiyes were blown to pieces, Ii is
believed, and this Is offered as ac-
counting In part for the discrepancy
between the number of bodies recov-

Hold Vessel in Port.

Horta, Azores, March 20.-Passen-
gers of the French steamer Montreal
are here awaiting passage to New
York after stormy conflict with the
ships officers.
The Montreal, when 600 miles from

absolutely refused to proceed. Owing
to the failure to send them by faster
steamer all rose in revolt and 1t was
necessary to use an armed force.

to leave Horta in the face of the ter
rifle weather and with the prevailing
scarcity of fresh provisions.
