Expedition Is Ready.

New York, April 3. - One of the
largest merchants in New York said
last night that arrangements are being
perfected here and in Paris and Lon
don for a revolution in Venezuela

that country to American capital and
enterprise.
The expedition is to set out shortly

which are already under contract.
They are to carry 5000 volunteers,
with the following arms and ammuni-

carry him away in one of their three
ships and land him on the continent
of Europe, preferably in France. This,
they say, they can do under interna-

a captive rebel general to a negro con
vict and kept them chained together
even after the negro was dead from
smallpox, with the result that the gen.
eral also persisted of the disease.

Resume Of the .
Proceeding.

Washington, March 28.-The house
Yesterday witnessed a most unusual
scene, the speaker taking the foor to
disclaim responsibility for differences
between minority members. 1t was
toward the close of the debate on the
urgent deficiency bill, when Mr..
Checkleford (Mo.) rose to. explain
what he intended saying last week IN
relation to the Missouri volunteers
bill, when Mr.. Tawney (Minn.) object
ed to the personal character OF the re-
marks.
Mr.. S%hackleford charged the spe
er with holding up the bill. I.s
speaker rose on the completion OF Mr.
Shacklefcrd's statement. There was a
buzz of expectancy all over the house.
Republicans gathered about their
chief; Democrats crowded the aisles,
and it was a highly dramatic moment
when the speaker himself, pale, but
carrying a look of grim determination,
said in a voice that reached every
corner of the chamber:
"If it affords him (Shackleford) any
consolation to make me a stalking
horse on account of the quarrel with
the minority leader, well and good"
The major portion of the day was
taken up with discussions on reciproc-
ity and tariff revision incident to the
passage of the urgent deficiency bill.
Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. McCumber d.
vided the time of the senate yester-
day, the North Dakota senator devot-
