of nearly $1!500,00O of the First Nation

yesterday afternoon. Mr. BigeloW
alighted from the rain at Stowell sta

a carriage was taken to the federal
building.
Bigelow's return to Milwaukee was
not heralded with an ovation except
such as was accorded him by the cur

stepped from the train.
Mr.. Bigelow after reporting to the
court was escorted to his home, where
he will be allowed to remain during
his stay in Milwaukee. but will be I'M

Judge Quarles yesterday afternoon

CASTRO MAY RESUME OFFICE.
Gomez Has Not Appointed New Cab
met; VenezueIans Remain Reticent.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, April
17.-Passengers arriving here from
Venezuela say that the action of Cen
eral Castro in retiring from the presi-
dency in favor of Vice President Go
mez, is not clearly understood in Ven
ezuela, but the general opinion seems
to be that his retirement is only tenn
porary General Castro has gone one
way, as a private citizen, unattended
and paying the regular fare on the rail-
road; his wife has gone another way,
and the former presidents sister ar
rived here yesterday.
The resignation of the Venezuelan
cabinet is also causing speculation.
The ministers retired when Castro
gave up the reins of power, but Co
mez has not appointed new cabinet
and therefore the old ministers have
retained their portfolios.
On the other hand, Castro's follow
ers are scattering, leaving the capital
in different ways. AT Caracas the po-
litical atmosphere has completely
changed. as is apparent in all counten-
ances.
The opinions expressed here, the
nearest point to Venezuela, are equally
conflicting. The Venezuelans as rule
are reticent when questioned on the
subject. They generally say that Cas-
fro is sick and hesitate to give their
oninion of his retirement from the
presidency.

woman's Rights in Persia.

Speaking of trip which he and his
wife recently made in the interior OF
Persia. the Rev. F. M. Stead, Pres
byterian missionary. tells of a visit
they made to a remarkable Persian
woman who had hit upon a comfortable
way Of managing her husband. the
place was little village called Glzll
All. where Mr.. Stead had the privilege
Of preaching in a Persian anderson
(the apartments of the women.) Inc
woman of the house, Khan Gill, ne
considers one of the freest women IN
Persia. and told her so. She manages
her own household and large estates
personally; governs her villages. and
acts the part of judge for all her serfs:
She deals with outsiders herself, ana
carries on large correspondence. She
has a husband whose little property
she bought up long ago, and to whom
she now pays monthly salary OF 40
tomans. He stands in practically the
same relation to her as one OF her
hired servants. She sat and talked
with Mr.. Stead with veil drawn aside,
quite as an American or English Wo-
man might do, which is most unusual
when Persian customs are considered.
Khan CHI and her household probably
has no EQUALS in Persia.

Oyerseer Voliva and His Follow

Elijah Dowie
WILL coNcEDE FIVE PER CENT
Dowie Has Not Made Answer to the
Proposition, But General Belief is
He Will Not Accept-If He Does So,
Negotiations Will Probably be at an
End.-GeneraI News.

Chicago, April 17.-General Overseer
Voliva and his followers have presented
to John Alexander Dowie what they
term sn ultimatum. 1t is to the erect
that the affairs of Zion City, both &C.
clesiastical and property, be submitted
To a board of arbitration consisting OF
faction to appoint one half. Should TINS
hoard disagree then Voliva is to APP
point another member. 1t is further
provided that all property belonging to
the Christian Catholic church shall be
transferred to this board of arbitration
and that their judgment as to whether
Voliva or Dowie shall control the same
will be final.
No answer to this problem has yet
been made by Dowie or his attorneys
One of the latter, however, declared
that "Dowie will never consent to a
sacrifice of the ecclesiastical power at
tendant to Zion City"
Attornew Newman for Voliva said
last night:
Will Concede Five Per Cent.
1--WE are willing to concede that DR.
Dowie has an indisputable right to .
per cent of the property owned by the
Christian Catholic church, but we de-
mand that conference between the
Dowie faction and the followers OF
Voliva be held and that Dowie sign an
agreement whereby he relinquishes all
claims to the property in question on
the sole consideration of the fact that
he is vested in the sole proprietorship
of per cent thereof"
Should Dowie refuse to accept the
Voliva proposition all negotiations will
be put off and the matter fought to a
finish in the courts.
Attorneys for Dowie are endeavoring
to prevent the circulation thru the
mails of the last issue Of Leaves OF
Healing" the official organ of Zion, on
the ground that it contains matter that
is "slanderous and improper" They

Henry Clews, the Famous New
York Financicr, Approves
the Teachings
LOOKS FOR LASTING PEACE
Predicts That Strife of Labor and
Capital Will Eventually Come to an
End and That Industry Will be Run
on the Profit Sharing Plan = Text
of Clews' Letter.

New York, April 17.-In letter to
the New York World on socialism,
printed yesterday, Henry Clews, the
famous banker, says:
Socialism in America is an indeti-
mite term, and its meaning various, ac-
cording TO the industry, wealth and
education of the man defining it.
should say that true socialism means
state of affairs tending to improve
the general condition of all of our cit
liens. This cannot be brought about
by the will of the rich, nor by the die
tates of the very poor and discon-
certed. When true socialism prevails.
ii will be thru the influence of what
are called the middle classes.
Il believe that when the time is ripe
real Moses will appear to lead the
great captains of industry and the
army of laborers in one triumphant
procession, having a common interest
in protecting each other and working
in harmony
1 believe that arrangements will be
erected in the near future by which
all our great railroads and corpora
tions will be run on profit sha ring
basis with their employees. This can be
done without any social revolution
Then in bad business years the work
man will be content with meagar
allowance with the assurance that
when the tide turns, and prosperity
reigns, he will be able to have a share
OF the increased earnings. Then we
VIII hear no more of the present agi-
tation of the new doctrine of municipal
ownership which, is as fallacious in
theory as 1t would be in practice.
Never while ambition is the ruling
factor in mans makeup will real So
cialism be possible, and my humble
opinion is that when ambition dies our
race will deteriorate and life will not
be worth living. Let us all resolve to
follow strictly the teachings of the
golden rule, and socialism will be a
fact and not theory Let us work
together for the greatest .od to the
greatest number"

out Russia is Peaceful.
Washington, April 1.-THE state de-
partment has been in cable communi-
cation with Ambassador Meyer at st.
Petersburg relative to the possibility OF
anti-Jewish disturbances on a great
scale in Russia. The fact that the low
err classes of peasants and laborers ere
at this season wrought up into pitch
of religious excitement approaching
fanaticism, which feeling intensified as
the Russian Easter drew near, caused
great apprehension among the Jews in
this country that there would be a rep
etition of the Kishineff massacres of
last year.
These fears were communicated to
the state department and Secretary
Root interested himself in the matter
to the extent of calling upon Mr.. Mey-
err for a statement as to the probabili-
ties. He has received the most possi-
tive assurance that every possible pre-
caution has been adopted by the Rus
sian government to prevent an anti
Jewish uprising and all the reports in
hand indicate that such an uprising Is
no longer to be feared.

doctrine again.

Senator Dolliver, on the republican
side calls attention to the fact that he
recently declared in the senate that the
time was coming when it would be nee
essary for the people to look into the
origin of monstrous fortunes, while
Representative Grosvenor and others of
lesser prominence indorse the general
idea advanced. The more prominent
senators and representatives, especially
republicans, who disagree at the out
set with the presidents suggestion, are

that President Roosevelt will cease to

If he were elected to succeed Platt,
Roosevelt would be sworn in as sena-
tor if he so desired, on the day of his
retirement from the presidency.
Youngest Of Presidents.
Upon his accession to the presiden-
cy in 1901 Mr.. Roosevelt was the
youngest man who ever had occupied
that office. If he lives until the ex-
piration of his present term he will be
only fifty years old. He then will be
nearly thirty-fve years younger than

Alabama.
