If the supreme court fails to give him
another chance for life, Pasquale and
his friends will make a supreme eff
fort to get Governor Mead to commute
the death sentence to one of imprison-
ment for life.
Pasquale talks freely of his likes and
dislikes, but that he views with dread
the approach of the fateful day, when
he will go to the gallows unless some

in his manner. He has become
quite haggard in appearance and

ZUELAN TROUBLE.

Washington, Jan. 22.-That he may
not be charged later with undue haste
or harshness in dealing with Venezuela
relative to the asphalt trouble, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken the unusual
step of enlisting the services of the de-
partment of justice in passing upon the
legal merits of the case. which has
been In the Venezuelan courts for sew
eral years. The representatives of the
asphalt company in the United States
have charged unjust treatment that
they say has approached confiscation.
The case has been carefully reviewed
by the state department and while no
such announcement has been made. it
is known that this government for
months has feared clash with Presi-
dent Castro. The belief is expressed
here that a warship or two will be
shortly dispatched to Venezuelan
waters. Every recourse to diplomacy
will be exhausted before this action is
taken. however
The department takes emphatic OBJ
jections to the continual shipments by
Castro's receiver of asphalt to this
country. 1t feels that the position
OF the American representatives, wish
ing these shipments stopped pending a
judicial settlement of the case is a
reasonable one.

MAKING BARRICKS.
Accordingly bodies Of men with
tools of every description began the
construction of barricades in various
streets. Telegraph poles wereJ torn
down and used in the work Of clos
ing the streets and great quantities
of barbed> wire taken from some fac
tory on Vasilievesh Island which
had been broken into, were piled up
high at a great number Of points, par
ticularly at street functions. The wire
was also strung across the streets and
an abortive attempt was made to cut
off body of troops In this manner.
At that time the first signs of real
revolution; of
REBELLION
against the cars rule, began to show.
Up to that period, it may be said by
reviewing the events conservatively,
the outbreaks we're largely of a strike
character and little of political i'm
port had been shown. But the COM

A TEMPORARY QUIET.

The government had scored for a
second time and the first attempt Of
the mob to approach the cars pal
ace had been frustrated.
Things remained quiet around the
winter palace for while. After half
an hour had elapsed the pursuing SOL
diers began to return and resume
their posts. Some, it is said, were
wounded in the smaller fights which
had occurred during the pursuit and
one report has number killed. There
is no confederation of this rumor.
Shortly after IL o'clock a crowd of
sight-seers, coming from nowhere in
particular, appeared in the vicinity of
the palace. They were mostly well
dressed people and while small groups
among them may have belonged to
the striking class, the majority did
not. They had simply ventured out
of their houses of living, presumably,
in sections of the city which had been
affected by the outbreaks and they
probably believed that everything was
peaceful.
The police Immediately took charge,
the soldiers remaining on post with
out interfering. The crowds were kept
moving along the Neysky Prospect
and the neighboring streets and by
judicious work and much persuasion. a
