Reports Indicate That France OF

.(By Associated Press.l

/ WILLEMsTAD. CURACAO, Friday,
February o-Conditions in Venezuela were
unchanged at the date of the latest ad-'
vices from that country. The censorship
is rigid. One report is that the attitude OF
Vce-President vfncente Gomez. who Is
said to be plotting revolution against
President Castro, in case of a French
blockade, is causing some anxiety.
1t Is reported also that General Antonio
velutini, Second yice-President. has "a
secret understanding with France and
that he aspires to the presidency All this
turmoil over the French Cable Company's
concession Is attributed to General yelu-s
tini. and 1t is said that he will soon
abandon President Castro.
Army's Strength Exaggerated.
The total strength of the Venezuelan
army is reported to be 5000 men, and not
2, 900. as the army accounts state. Tho
total armament is 5000 mauser rifles
and 2o.ooo,W0 ball cartridges: eighty pieces
of small artillery of old-fashioned type,
and ten modern guns in position at the
ports.

President Castro Is said to be boasting
that he will test the Monroe doctrine.
The reports say that the best informa-
tion in Venezuela shows.that France or
any other power can rely upon almost
the entire populace to fight President
Castro, and that anxiety is everywhere
expressed for the arrival of the French
to solve the problem. which is beyond
the resources OF the yenezueans.
Money will be decidedly scarcer If
war should break out. and the Venezuelan
government has made no provision what
ever for the comnlissariat.
President Castro continues his cam

GREAT FIGHT ON
OVER SALE BILL
House May Reject Senate Amend
ment Switching Counties From
Ninth to sixtl, District.
HEAVY WEEK BEFORE BODY
Bill for Appointment of Commits

Senate.
HEAVY WEEK BEFORE BODY
Bill for Appointment of Commis-

Z b.
The legislature will commence this
morning on heavy weeks work, and
before 1t is over many spirited battles
Will be fought over and determined.
Perhaps the contest over which at this
time there Is the most wide spread public
interest is that which relates to the bill
offered BY Messrs. Sale and Holt in the
Senate and which las passed that body,
to reapportion the State with reference
to congressional districts
The measure, as originally presented
sought primarily to separate the seaport
cities OF Norfolk and Newport News and
to put them into separate congressional
districts, at the same time having re-
gard for an equalization OF population.
Some other imniaterial changes were en-
braiced, but they were not such as to
provoke serious opposition.
When the bill was upon its engross
ment In the Senate. however. an amend
ment was offered, which after a spirited
debate, was adopted by one majority.
taking the counties Of Pulaski, Giles.
Wythe, Bland and Craig out OF the Ninth
Congressional District and placing them
In the Sixth. This amendment provoked
the strongest sort Of opposition, which
was led by Senator a. f. Thomas, of
Lynch5urg. but after its adoption tho
bill was passed by a large majority.
1t is now in the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections of the House, where
a great fisht is expected, to Asay nothing
of the final battle in the lower branch.
It Is the concensus OF opinion that the
amended bill will never get through the
House, for 1t has its enemies at both
ends and all around.
Fight From Both Ends.
For example, strong men in the west
ern portion of the present Ninth District
are earnestly opposing it on the ground
that it will render the district irrevo-
cably Republican,. while almost the solid
delegation in the Legislature from the
present Sixth are opposed to the change.
Among the former are General Rufus II.
Ayers. Judge Z. NJ. Fulton, Hon. r.
Ttate Irvine, Former. Congressman VIII,
liam r. Rhea, Major r. r. Henry and
Hon. r. F. Bruce.
They believe that to take off from them
the five counties mentioned would prac-
tically insure continued Republican sue
cess in the Ninth District, and at the
same time see no good reason obtained
for the proposed change.
ON the other hand, Senator Peyton r.

and other strong men who reside in
these counties. declare that the Fifth
State Senatorial District Represented ny
