TODAY on the subject. They maintain
absolute silence. Chairman Wadsworth
declines. for the present at least, TO make
public the Presidents letter Of disappov.
al. The Presidents objections to placing
the cost of inspection on the government
are not emphatic enough to have decid-
ed influence in the House. The ques-
ton of the cost will be sharply contested
on the floor. The division of sentiment
on this question is marked and not de-
fined along party lines. The Illinois
delegation is unit in favor OF the cost
provision 10 the Wadsworth substitute
and is supported in this by Representa-
tive Rainey, the only democratic member
from Illinois. The other democrats also
give it their support There is general
demand for more detailed information
as to what the Presidents objections are
to "certain other features in the bill. E"
Until this has been more fully explain
ed, many members will remain undecid-
ed as to their course.
The fertilizer trust will be investigated
by the Department of Justice, on the
charge of violating the Sherman anti
trust law.
How serious the situation and the ex-
tent of the predicament into which Presi-
dent Castro has involved Venezuela by
bis foreign policies are set forth by Con-
sui Thomas p Mofiat, OF La Guayra,
Venezuela, in report TO the State De-
partment. War duties on exports, the
consul says, continue. Provisions of all
kinds, even those forming the principal
food of the laboring classes, have advan-
ced from 25 TO 100 per cent. in price,
while at the same time opportunities for
employment are rapidly decreasing. No
public works are being constructed or con-
templated, with the exception Of float
ing dock, which is being built at Puerto
Cabelo. Since the announcement OF
the contract organizing a Government
bank has been made public, gold has
entirely disappeared from circulation.
"The Hamburg line of steamers, which
has regularly scheduled two steamers
monthly for Venezuelan portS," says
Mr.. Moffai, "has Withdrawn one steam
or, owning to the smallness of the car
goes obainable. The cities give ample
evidence of this fact by the extraordinary
number of vacant houses. The oppor-
tunity to keep in touch with the foreign
market for cocoa and coffee, the princi-
pal articles of export, has been pre-
vented though the severance of direct
cable communication, which is OF
the utmost importance 10 those
who must keep informed as to the
market conditions in order to ship to
the best advantage. Railroads and harbor
concessions recently granted have been
abandoned through msgivings as to the
| future, and the options paid thereon for
feited. That underlying conditions are pre-
judicial to prosperity, at least for the present,
| is 70 apparent IS to cause anxiety on the part
Of all commercial interests. The extended
uncertainty as TO the adjustment of foreign
matters is restraining trade in other quarters
and compelling those who largely control the
| financial situation, commission and banking
houses 70 be very prudent in commitments
invoiy ing any ventures beyond actual and
present requirements

The DreYiIns Case.

Paris, June lj.-The hearing for the
revision of the Dreyius case opened to-
day. The discussion was devoted TO an
examination OF The secret documents in
the case. Neither the public prosecutor
nor Dreyius's attorney is asking for a
new trial, but for1he quashing of the
former judgment. The documents which
were taken up for examination are said
to show the absolute Innocence Of Captain
Dreyius and it is expected that the de-
cree of the Rennes tribunal accordingly
will be annulled. The plea for annull-
ment rests upon charges OF fraud in
some of the secret documents and irreg-
ularties in the Rennes proceedings.

motive for the murder Of Mrs. Alice Kin.

money vas due, called at The mansion the
night Of the murder and expected to receive
the money. The money was not forthcoming,
and, believing that he was ultimately never
10 be paid, the man Threatened court pro-
ceedings. A quarrel then developed. the
police believe, which led to the delivering of
the fatal blow. Ills declared that although
the cred tor is known, Mrs Stanton has
refused TO name him, preferring to allow her
daughters death to 90 unagenged rather than
be forced in the end TO pay the large
amount Of money due the Iaan. Mrs. Stanton
has been, it is stated, most parsimoniOus. al.
though supposed to be in fair circumstances.

Will be Given Z Speedy Trial.

By the order of Judge Henry Page
the grand jurors of tbs April term OF
the Princess Anne, Md, court were
summoned Yesterday afternoon to appear
in Princess Anne on Wednesday, June
20, when special session of the Circuit
Court for Somerset county will be
held to try William Lee, cOlcreJ, now
confined in Norfolk jsil, charged with
criminally as,aulling Mrs &. Robert
Barnes and Miss Frances Powell last
Sunday at Kingston, Princess Anne
county.
Sheriff Brown received the requisilion
yesterday afternoon, and will 70 to Nor
folk and take the prisoner to Baltimore
from there. He will be accompanied
by the National Guard to protect The
prisoner when he arrives at Princess
Anne next week.
The Jail is being guarded nightly by
deputies sworn in by Sheriff Brown I,
protect Edward Watson, who is confined
at Princess Anne for murderous assault
upon Samuel :. Barnes. There has not
been any demonstration at Princess
Anne as yet of an attack upon the Jail
but the authorities deem it advisable to
Use precaution.
After consultation with Judge
Henry Page at Annapolis, Nd, yester-
day morning, Governor Waried said
that he had been informed by Judge
Page that the n'gro, William Lee,
charged with feloniOus assault in Som
erset county aud now ia Jail at Norfolk,
would be given the speediest trial con-
sonant with fairness, and, il convicted,
his punishment would follow with equal
speed.
''In the meantime" Governor War
field said, Judge Page and myself are
determined that the man shall he tried
and punished according to due course Of
law. The whole power of the State
will he employed 10 assure this if neces-
sary."
The Governor has received the assur-
ance of Governor Swanson, of Virginia,
that Lee may stay in Norfolk until
wanted by the Maryland authorities.
For obvious reasons the Governor was
not willing to tell exactly what his plans
are in regard to the disposition of Lee,
but 1t seems clear that he will not be
taxed to Princess Anne until after the |
special grand jury meets there and
brings in an indictment, as it doubtless
will.
