RIVERS AND HARBORS
May and May Not Receive Attention
At This Session.

Washington, Dec. 27-The question
whether there will be Il river and har-
Dor bill during the present session Of
Congress is becoming a matter of much
concern to many members Of both
houses.
In accordance with the usual custom
of passing such a bill only once every
two years, no effort was made to get
one through last session, but it was
then generally understood that no OBJ
stacles would be placed in the way OF
such a measure at the second session.
Now the committees having charge Of
the question find themselves confront
ed by constantly growing deficit in
the treasury with the accompanying
complaint that it is going to be impos-
sible to find money enough to 80
around without encroaching too deeply
upon the reserves, with the result that
they find it quite impossible to give any
satisfactory assurance to colleagues
who. like themselves, want legislation.
Knowledge of the situation is, how
ever having but little, if any influence
in causing a diminution of the pres
sure, and the importunaie ones are
urging the prospect of improved busi-
ness conditions and the probability that
the proposed new tariff will afford an
increased income even though there be

.Brightens for Venezuela
With Castro Away.
Political Exi|es Returning in
Large Numbers.
Commissioner Buchanan on North

Winomstad, island of Curacao Dec.
2r.-Political exiles are returning to
Caracas at the summons of President
Gomez, who to unite all parties and
factions in Venezuela has ordered the
prisons to be cleared and has invited
those long since banished from the
country to come back.
rhe steamship Zulia arrived here this
morning from Maracaibo with is 1or-
mer political prisoners aboard. Among
the number We're several who had been
as long as eight years in fetters. Gen
eral Bello, the commander of Fort san
Carlos at MaracaibO, whose assasslha-
ton was attempted recently. was ais"
a passenger on the steamer. He Sald
that number of criminals We're ll6tr-
ated at that place at the same time
the political prisoners We're given their
| freedom. but that it was afterwards
| found necessary to imprison them
| again. The Zulia left here this after
| noon for La Guaira with the cxiles
who represent all political parties. They
| were given an enthusiastic ovation ny
the people Of Curacao and before their
departure were presented with paper,
bidding them adieu on behalf of the
entire reputation. In this document 1T
was said tIat only one man was the
enemy Of the exiles and Curacao ana
he had now lost his prestige.
| General GraefOriO Riera, who for q
number of years has been working
here with the revolutiOnists against
President Castro, joined the exiles on
the Zulia and is now on his way TO
| Caracas. He issued statement in re-
piy TO the people of Curacao thanking
them for the attentions bestowed upon
him and declaring that they could
consider him always as the best friend
of curacao.

stated that the battleship Maine was

equally confident that such bill Win

which the sale OF liquor is not pro-
hihited
Virginia presents a string Of vic
tories for the anti-saloon, for prohibi-
tion now exists in eighty of the state rs
hundred counties
In Texas where more than half the
counties have accepted prohibition the
voters soon will be called upon to vote
up on a constitutional amendment for
prohibition. In Arkansas two thirds of
its area. or - counties are DRY" and
the question of state wide prohibition,
will be presented to the voters for de-
cision. Florida is partially Dry"
through local option, and like some of
the other states the sale of liquor is
confined chiefly to the cities.
The results of prohibition generally
are CLEANED from reports indicating L
great decrease in the record Of arrests
for drunkenness, an increase in the
bank deposits of labOrers, Iewer cases
OF wife abandonment, and a decrease in
criminality generally. The difficulty Of
enforcing the prohibition laws, how
ever, is conceded to be one Of the chief
obstacles to it's absolute success in
many states, and this phase of the
question, together with falling off in
revenues, is to some extent battling to
the authorities.
