THE VENEZUELAN DELAY.

PARIS. January s.-Government quarters

dent will necessitate an early recourse to
energetic measures. Ii is added that France
Will act only after fun understanding and
accord with the United States. The pres
ent indications Of frnness appear to be CO.
Incident with certain energetic measures
adopted by the American government. These
irclude, it is said. Instructions to Minister
Russell of rather peremptory character
saying that Venezuea's past course has
given grounds to expect that she intended
fully TO repair the offense. and therefore
asking that these expectations be realized
without further delay.
The effect Of the American instructions is
to uphold the French position, that the
withdrawal OF the offensive. letter to the
French charge daffaires did not suffice, and
that Venezuela should promptly accord
proper recognition of NJ. Tagny. who
throughout has carried out the specific in
structions of the French government.

An Infamous Outrage.
20 the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
Your editorial of Saturday Is representa-
tive of the feeling of this community on
the infamous outrage at the White House.
I do not think the men and women of
Washington have ever before been stirred
to such Indignation. This indignation, In
deed. has spread to the confines Of the
nation, and the American people will not
be satisfied until some adequate punish-
ment has been inflicted upon every one
OF the ruffians responsible for this national
disgrace. What Is most amazing Is that
men with hearts in their bosoms sho4ld
have stood by. deaf to the fearful appeals
of an inoffensive. helpless woman, who had
violated no law and no propriety. Much
space has been given to a recital Of the
causes and effects Of the family differences
between Representative Hull and his sister
AS DIR. Morris well says. this has nothing
to do with the issue. The pupncfAas no

oFFICIALTSM.
The Existence of the Independent Re
porter Threatened.

From .he Washington Post, Sunday.
i The great national disease Is officiaiism
1t breaks .out on the surface like measles
1t was said Of old. that there is divinity
doth hedge a king. But noW:itay VS. there Is
a divinity doth hedge every federal official
who is small enough 10 atail himself of it.
Let us say, however, that this does not in
clude anything like ma ajority of them. In
visible bayonets are waiting at the entrance
of every public Office with which to prod the
unlucky wight who thinks he has business
on which to enter. 1t is a day of strenuous
things. Atethe Capitol the lines are being
drawiet lighter and tighter against the COM
monalty. The doors through which plain
*eitizens may pass are fewer in number
every year Committee rooms are barred
against hearings except for the elect. The
galleries are apportioned off to diplomats, to
senators and members and their families,
and to reserved seats for those who can Sc
cure tickets for them from senator's and
members Elevators are divided between
the officials and their friends and the ordi-
nary citizens.
At the White House new rules multiply.
The executive department there is always
In secret session. Subdeputies, assistants
decide who shall see the President and who
tfons. which were always In times past
treated as news. are now important state
secrets. Cabinet officers are not permitted
TO speak Of common affairs. There is a sub
stantiai Censorship of the press. The exist
ence of the independent reporter is threat
ened. There is all the time less and less
room for him in Washington. For thirty
years the corps OF newspaper correspond
ents in this city has been increasing in in
telligence. Industry. reliability. honor to
sources of information and usefulness TO
the public. Their honorable occupation is
diminishing. Many names among them
could be given that would adorn any legis-
lative or executive position They not only
presented the news. but intelligent COM
ments upon 1t. They were trusted by sem
sators and members and by cabinet officers,
and none of them ever betrayed their con-
fidences. Places in the galleries of each
house have long been assigned TO them.
There they have their organization, and
only reputable men can participate in the
Congress.
Let us hope that the efficialism which
limits their usefulness at the White House
will not extend to Congress and abolish the
reporters galleries. The great master in
the discussion of human motives deprecated
the action of those who, "Drest in a little
brief authority, play such fantastic tricks
before high heaven as make the angels
weep
Perhaps q wholesome public opinion may
bring about a reaction against the offensive
tendency toward pompous and conceited
.of1icialism and give us back the American,
Ism which II struggles to displace.

SEEKS FOR THE FACTS
REPRESENTATIVE SHEPPARD
PROPOSES AN INQUIRY.
Resolution introduced Calling for In
vestigation Of Mrs. Morris Expul
sion From the White House.

The views of a number of members OF
the House of Representatives on the White
House incident of last Thursday when
Mrs. Minor Morris of this city was thrown
out of the executive offices and sent to the
house of detention are embodied in reso-
luton introduced in the House today by
Representative Morris Sheppard of Texas.
The resolution provides for the appoint
ment of bipartisan committee to investf-
gate the White House occurrence and re-
port to the House.
The resolution has gone to the commit
tee on rules and, as It calls for an investi-
cation, 1t Is privileged. II it is not heard
from in the course of a week Representa-
tive Sheppard has the right, under the
rules, TO move in the open House that the
committee be relieved of further consider
alton of the resolution. Consequently, in
some way or other, the resolution is bound
TO come up in the House. 1t is considered
quite probable that the rules committee
will report it with a motion that 1t lie on
the table.
Representative Sheppard CTexasl intro
duced the following resolution in the House
today:
Resolved by the House of Representa-
tives, that committee OF republican and
democratic members of the House be ap-
pointed by the Speaker to investigate the
recent violent expulsion Of an American
mother from the White House offices and
grounds by executive officials and employees
while she was seeking an audience with
the President of the United States that
said committee have power to summon wit
uesses and report as soon possible to
the House"
Mr.. Sheppard's Statement.
Mr.. Sheppard made the following state
ment concerning the resolution: II intro
duce this resolution IN the name of Ameri-
can motherhood and American woInanhood.
The occurrence which is the cause of this
resolution was violation of every senti-
ment that glorifies American manhood and
American chivalry. The brutal trea tment

FAILED OF ADJUSTMENT.
Trying to Settle the Controversy With
Castro.

Secretary Root has been advised by cable
from Caracas of the complete failure of
the negotiations thar have been in progress
at that place for the readjustment of the
issues between the New York and Ber-
mudez Asphalt Company and the Fenezue-
Ian government, and of the departure from
Caracas of Mr.. Clyde Brown, the treasurer
of the asphalt company.
Accordingly the Secretary has called upon
Mr.. Calhoun, the Presidents special com
missioner, TO submit his report upon his
investigations into that controversy, as a
basis for further action by the department
The Calhoun report will be sent to Con-
gress, and probably line of action will be
suggested
Officially the negotiations between the
governments of the United States and
Venezuela for an adjustment of the asphalt
difficulty have remained in allegiance since
Mr.. Bowers retirement as United States
minister to Caracas.
