aeh. A physician was called and the
pain was somewhat alleviated. Later,
about half past three, the commissions

the best Of spirits in good health.

RESUME RELATIONS.
United States Sends Envoy to Venezuela
Again.

Washington, Dec. 24.--After an inter
val Of eight months the United States
has resumed relations with Venezuela
country on the cruiser North Carolina
as a special commissioner to report upon
the situation. The question whether the
United States will accord formal recog-
milton to the new government viii de-
pend largely upon Nr. Buchansn's report
as to It's ability to maintain stable
institution and TO fulfill treaty obliga-
tions. 1t has not yet been fully estab-
lished that the Gomez government win
retain its power without trouble, for
there remain adherents of President Cas-
tro. A possibility that disorder may
arise is indicated in request for an
American warship at Ia Guayra, to
which wish this government has re-.
sponded promptly.
Secretary Root was pleased when he
announced yesterday that President
Gomez wished to settled all international
questions. He has felt all along that
the situation in Venezuela would work
itself out, if the Venezuelans were left
to themselves Some significance was
at Arst attached to the fact that Mr..
Root had referred to Gomez as president
in his statement to the press and this
was taken at once as an indication of
the attitude Of the government. 1t was
explained that such reference had been
made in the communication which came
TO the department through the Brazilian
officials.
1t is expected that the Dutch warships
Wll be withdrawn from Venezuela and
that either diplomatic relations between
Holland and Venezuela will be resumed
or commissioner will be dispatched to
Caracas, as in the case OF the United
States.
The refusal in March last by the Cas-
tro administration to consider separately
the questions Of controversy between the
two countries made it plain that diplo-
macy could accomplish nothing further
toward their settlement This deadlock
was made clear to the United States
Senate, but Congress adjourned without
taking any action In the matter. The
five claims which form the basis of the
last negotiations were those of A. r..
Jaurett, who was expelled from the
country, the Orinoco corporation, the
Orinoco Steamship company, New York
& Bermudez Asphalt company, and the
United States h Venezuelan company,
the amounts involved running nominally
into millions of dollars.

Big Explosion at Powder
Plant Near Concord, Mass.
BEFORE WORK STARTED
The Fact That It Came at 6:s2 This
Morning, Rather Than Later, Is
the One Satisfactory Feature
Of the Accident.

Concord, Mass, Dec. 2l.-one building
Of the American Powder company's plant
located between Concord and Maynard
was blown up this morning and great
deal of damage was done to adjoining
property. The fact that the explosion
came at just eight minutes before seven
o'clock was extremely fortunate, as the
force OF workmen had not at that time
arrived to begin their days labors. No
one was hurt by the explosion.
The wrecked building was the glaze
mill Of the plant, and II was literally
blown to pieces. The force Of the explo.
sion was so severe that a great deal of
glass was shattered in buildings within
radius of considerable distance and
the buildings themselves were damaged.
The cause Of the explosion has not been
ascertained
