WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--M. Taigny,
formerly charge d'affaires for the Frenen
government at Caracas, Venezuela left
today for New York, whence he will
sail for Europe on Saturday. Taigny,
when seen today, declared he had receiv-
ed eabIeeram from his government
but had not been able to decipher 1t as
the French code for Venezuela and the
United States is different. Speaking of
his expulsion he said;
1T Is impossible to maintain satisfac-
tory relations with a man like Castro.
fiis chief object is to get money. no
matter from where or in what way.
This is the basis for everything.
Regarding the invasion OF Venezuela
by France, Taigny stated il was an ex-
tremely difficulty country to fight in. The
country is mountainous. Though only
nine miles from the coast as the crow

the coast by road, which is easily de.
Tended. The venezuelans love nothing.
according to Taigny, more than fighting
and would welcome such beautiful
chance.

Extract from minutes Of directors
meeting Of the Coos Bay Land and In-
vestment Company, held June 10, 1909.
That letter purporting to have been
written by W. G. Bristol to the Coos
hay Land and Investment Company was
received and acted on by the officials Of
that company, is shown by the minutes
Of the board OF directors at meeting
held June 10, 1909. The letter is dated
June 1.
The record then goes on to say that
after considerable discussion il was
moved and carried that the committee
he authorized TO call on Mr. Bristol,
and that II after interviewing him It
was considered advisable the commit
tee should offer him $500 for his serv.
ices in closing the sale.
Miseonstrued, Says Croker.
L. II, Maxwell secretary OF the com.
pany, says that the minutes do not
disclose any report having been made
BY the committee detailed to confer
with Mr.. Bristol.
A. NJ. Croker, the director, who.
with Il. I. c. Stevens, the president,
was directed to call on United States
District Attorney William c. Bristol
relative TO the commission, declares
that in his opinion a mistake has been
made in placing on Mr. BristoIs lettr
the construction that has been generally
accepted. The entire letter, Mr.. Croker
thinks, would present the matter in a
different light.
Secretary L. H. Maxwell, Of the Coos
Bay Company, says he has been unable
to find the copy of the original letter,
said to have been written to the COM
pany BY Mr.. Bristol, or the letter which
he says was received from him prior

WASHINGTON, Feb s.--President
Roosevelt submitted to Congress today
the official communications in connec.
tion with the affair Of Marcus Braun,
special agent of the department of COM
merce and labor in Budapest last May.
The correspondence was made public in
accordance with the resolution Of Rep
resentative Sulzer. IL comprises scores
Of kilograms, letters and statements and
reviews Of the case from the first in
terference with Braun's mail until his
punishment by minor Hungarian ofiic-
ials and the termination of diplomatic
representations on the part OF the
United States.
In finally disposing of the case Secre-
tary Hays letter states that in as much
as il appears that Braun was guilty Of
highly improper conduct in openly at
tackiug the Hungarian government in
the newspapers and his anteceients are
not such as require any further action
than the proper assertion of the dignity
Of the United States, and in as much as
Braun has been recalled and the offend
ing officials punished, the department
does not feel it is desirable to press
the matter further with the Austro-
Hungarian government.

islation at Coming SEES
sion.

Washington. The passage OF the
appropriation bills and as little other
general legislation as possible. Such
in brief is the forecast for the short
session OF the Fifty.ninth congress,
which began at high noon Monday.
There has not yet been time for as
general an exchange of views among
members as is ordinarily desired by
leaders before expressing their views,
leaders before expressing their
views, but all seems to regard the
present situation as so simple as to
oeed comparatively little intercourse to
arrive at an understanding. II Is evi'
dent for various reasons that It will not
be possible to do much on the appro'
pr1ation bill before the holidays, and
the circumstance may have the effect
OF condensing the consideration OF
the fourteen large supply measures
into two months. Considering that
the aggregate Of the appropriations to
be considered will approximate one
billion dollars, some senators and mem.
bers express the opinion that congress
cannot do better than give all Of Its
time to these measures.
The report on the ship subsidy bill
probably will be an exception to the
rule for no general legislation. The
friends of that measure have never
been more inslstent than now. They
are extremely hopeful and yet very
apprehensiYe.
