Paris, January S.-Government quarters express the belief that venezuela's pro- longed delay in settling the Taigny inei- dent will neeessitate an early recourse of energetic measures. It is added that France will act only after 8 full under standing and accord with the United States.
 The present indications of 1rmness ap- pear to be eoineident with certain ener- getic measures adopted by the American government. These include. it is said. in- structions to Minister Russell of a rather peremptory character. saying that Ven ezuelas past course has given grounds to expect that she intends fully to repair the offense and therefore asking that these expectations be realized without further delay. The effect of the Ameri- can instructions is to uphold the French position that the withdrawal of the of- fensive letter to the French charge daffaires did not suffice and that venez- uela should promptly make proper recog- hilton of M. Taigny.

LOOK INTO AFFAIR
 AT WHITE HOUSE
SHEPARD OF TEXAS MAKES A STATEMENT AGAINST REGENT OUTRAGE IN FoRclBLY DUST ING MRS. MINOR MORRIS.

Washington, January s.-Representative ing resolution today:
 Resolved. by the House of Represen- tatives, That a committee of republican and democratic members be appointed by the speaker to investigate the recent vio- lent 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
 '"rhat said committee have power to summon witnesses and report as soon as possible to the House"
 MT. Shepard made the following state ment concerning the resolution:
 q yield this resolution in the name of the American motherhood and American womanhood. The occurrence which is the cause of this resolution was a violation or every sentiment that glorifes Ameri- can manhood and American chivalry. The brutal treatment of this lady who was but acting within her rights seems to me to be outrageous and indefensible. The American Congress ought not to permit the matter to rest without the most thor ough and searching investigation. It in- wolves the most sacred element of Ameri- can life, the respect and reference which every true American citizen accords the American women and especially the American mother. When the President of the United States, with all the glamor of his great office,- steps into the pres ence of an Aperiean mother, he Is in the presence of his superior. This action of ,his subordinates should certainly be in- Vestigated."
 The resolution was referred to the com mittee on rules.

TAX ON PASSENGERS
DISTRICT TO DERIVE REVENUE
FROM HIGHWAY BRIDGE.

AS soon as the cars of the Washington,
Alexandria and Mt Vernon Railway Com
pany cross the new highway bridge. which,
It is thought, will be within a very few
days, the District government will begin
the collection of a tax of one-half of / cent
for each and every passenger carried across
the structure.
An order to this effect will probably be
issued by the Commissioners within a day
or two, as a result of correspondence with
the Secretary of War. 1t seems that the
act of Congress of February L, 1901, re-
quired payment of the tax stated by the
railway companies using the bridge, and
the sense of Commissioner Macfarland' S
letter to Secretary Taft was that this levy
should be made from the very beginning OF
the railroad occupation. Brig Gen. Mac
kenzie, who replied, sta ted that he had been
instructed by the Secretary to inform the
Commissioners that the views of the Com
missioners met the concurrence of the War
Department.
According to q statement made al the Of
flee of the Washington, Alexandria and Mt.
Vernon Railway Company this morning,
their average daily traffic is between ] $50
and 800 passengers. Carried out for a
year this would mean that about 600 COO
persons would be transported across the
bridge, and that the income of the District
from that source would BIZ approximately,
IS 600 per annum.

On receiving notice of the arrest of
young Robert G. Brockington in Jack
sonville, Fla, Saturday, Detective J..
w. Dunning, of the Columbia police
department, accompanied by j. T.
Melton, cashier of the State bank,
proceeded to Jacksonville for the pur-
pose of bringing back young Brock
ington. On their arrival there they
called at police headquarters where
the young man was delivered into
their keeping.
The money which was taken from
the young man at the time of his
arrest, 81 $40, was turned over to the
bank official, who paid reward of
500 to Officer Johnson, who made the
arrest. Mr.. Melton speaks very high
" of Brockinnton, and says that dur
ing the two years that he had been
in the employment of the bank he
had proved a most excellent clerk
and that he would not be prosecuted,
but would be sent to his relatives at
Winnsboro, S. G.. Arrangements
were made by his friends to pay up
his shortage. He is thoroughly peni-
tent and will start life over again and
feels over grateful to the bank and
his friends.
