Dog Police in ENGLAND.

The police authorities in England have
at last decided to follow in some degree
the custom of the continent and recognize
bloodhounds as Il permanent agent in the
detection of crime.
Maj. Richardson, who has for years
heen breeding-wholly with view to
perfection of scent-cross-bred blood
hounds, yesterday received a formal
notice that his dogs are to be retained By
the Hertfordshire police. Maj. Richard,
son will keep the dogs and train them,
but they will be sent for by the HEREFORD
shire authorities on the occurrence of
any crime in the detection of which they
may be useful.
A great number of the other county
authorities are discussing the employ
ment of dogs, and the idea has particu-
larly appealed to those in Scotland 1t
is probable that in a short time this
special breed of dog-whose heredity is
as yet n secret-will be generally recog-
Elzed as an arm of the detective sery-
ice, rs in Berlin, where a motor car spe-
cially built for carrying dozen or more
oloodhounds is kept always in readiness.
Some of Maj. Richardson's hounds
have already done service in Turkey on
behalf of the Sultan, and the Paris au-
thorities, who have just imported some
pups. find the dogs much more faith
full to scent than any variety vet pro-

.SCHWAB ON THE STAND
STEEL MAGNATE BEFORE HOUSE
COMMITTEE ON TARIFF.
Answers Charge That Rails Can Be Made
Cheaper Here Than Abroad by
Saying Conditions Change.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10
A large fund of information regarding
the cost of making steel was given the
House ways and means committee today
by Charles NJ Schwab of New York
Chairman Payne of the committee be-
gan a cross fire Of questions by asking
Mr.. Schwab about letter which had
been referred to by a previous witness.
This letter was written by Mr.. Schwab
to Henry G. Frick ON May 16, 1899, and
stated that rails were being made for
less than $12 a ton, or nearly 81 less
than the cost in England. In the letter
Mr.. Schwab predicted that the Carnegie
Steel company of which he was then
president would be able to increase it's
net earnings to $3,6OO,OOO month and
said it could sell all of it's surplus pro,
duction abroad at a profit nearly equal
to the profit on domestic sales.
Before proceeding with his testimony,
Mr.. Schwab, upon being questioned, SAID
that the Bethlehem Steel company OF
which he is president, is not affiliated
with the United States Steel corporation,
but he said that he was a stakeholder III
the latter corporation. The steel mag
nate said that the letter in regard to
which he was being questioned had been
prepared at Mr.. Tricks solicitation and
was written in an optimistic yein
Mr.. Schwab gave a detailed state
ment of the cost of making pig iron and
steel rails, which indicated that the pres
ent cost of manufacturing pig iron is
$14 a ton as compared with SIS ton in
1899: while the cost of steel rails today
is $3.50 Il ton as compared with $12
ton nine years ago.
Before Mr.. Schwab took the stand,
Walter Wood of Philadelphia, a manu-
facturer of cast iron pipe, asked that the
difference in the duty on cast iron pipe
and pig iron be reduced So, and in ad-
dition advocated a reduction of the duty
on the pipe as much as the duty on pig
iron is reduced. The tariff on iron pipe
is now S. higher than on pig iron. The
witness said he competed with the
trust"

FIRE ARMENIAN TOWNS.
Persian Soldiers Pillage and Kill, but
Now Face Turkish Troops Called
to Restore Order.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. ia dis
patch from Urumiah says that Turkish
detachment arrived at Gilman today to
protect the inhabitants against the ex-
cesses of the Persian irregulars com
manded by Satar Khan. The latter, who
had been authorized by the Shah to re-
store order, has raised a force of Kurds
and piliaged and burned a number of Ar
menian villages, killing and mutilating
men. women and children. The Ar
menians appealed first to the local Turk
ish authorities and then to CONSTANT
nople whence authority for the interven-
ton was received. The Shah's special
envoy, Ali III Mulk, arrived at St.
Petersburg today ostensibly to present
condolences upon the death of the grand
duke, Alexis, but it is reported that his
real object is to seek support for the
Shah against the revolutionists. Ali III
Mulk was formerly Persian minister at
St. Petersburg.

MAY START OCEAN LINE.
Governments Examination of Pacific
Steamers Leads to Rumor of Pana-
ma Transit Route.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec 10
For several days past commission COM
posed of three army officers connected
with the transport service has been en-
gagged in an examination of the three
oceanic steamship liners Sierra, Sonoma
and Ventura, formerly employed on the
Australian run. In view of the fact
that the entire Pacific coast has been
clamoring for years past for govern
ment owned line connecting this coast
with Panama, the examination of the
Oceanic .company's ;,ners is thought to
be significant of t. q intention of the
government to start such line. Col
Bellinger states that he is ignorant of
the governments purpose in ordering the
examination.

DUTCH CAPTURE
ANOTHER COAST
GUARD VESSEL
BATTLESHIP REACHES WILLEM-
STAD WITH 1913 DE MAYO" FLY
ING HOLLAND FLAG.
SHIPS CREW is SENT ASHORE,
Netherlands Cruiser, with Experienced
Pilot, Now Searching Bays and
Inlets for More.
NOT A SHOT HAS YET BEEN FIRED.

WILLEMSTAD, Dec. 15.-The Dutch
battleship Jacob Van Heemskerk, ar
rived in the harbor at o'clock this morn
ing, towing as prize the Venezuelan
coast guard vessel ''23 de Mayo" Word
of the capture had already been received
here and a great throng of people lined
the quays to witness the entrance of the
Dutch battleship conducting her capture
within the harbor.
Flies the Dutch Flag.
The flag of the Netherlands had been
hoisted to the peak Of the captured
Venezuelan coast guard ship, and astern
of the Dutch flag foated the Venezuelan
colors. Although the Venezuelan nag
was still shown, it was in minor CON
trast to the Dutch pennant flying from
mainmast and foremost, bOtn OF the war
ship and its prize.
The capture of the ''23 de Mayo" was
effected ON December Ii, at point a
little north of Cumana on the gulf or
Caracico. The battleship Jacob Van
Heemskerk observed the '23 de Mayo
in the offing, took possession OF 'ner ana
sent a prize crew aboard. The Vene-
zuelan crew which had been in charge
of the ''23 de Mayo was sent ashore IN
the small boats of the captured ship.
The Jacob Van Heemskerk then pro
ceeded back to this port, escorting her
prize.
Offer No Resistance.
The crew of the ''23 de Mayo made no
resistance All the rifles found on board
were sent ashore with the crew.
The '23 de Mayo" was formerly an
American steamer called the Alliance.
She belonged to Mr.. Smith, who was
at one time American consul here. She
was captured by Venezuela in 1897
while in distress off Maracaibo on the
ground that she was engaged in running
contraban to the Venezuelan coast Mr..
Smith made claim against the Venezue-
Ian government for the vessel and his
demand was reduced in 1903 to $4,000
by the mixed commission that adjudi-
Gated various matters of this kind.
Cruiser After Others.
The Dutch cruiser Gelderland left
here yesterday for the Venezuelan coast.
She had on board a seaman thoroughly
acquainted with the small bays and in
let's along the Venezuelan shores.
The '23 DE- Mayo" while classed as a
coast guard vessel, Is a unit of the
Venezuelan navy, but her size and
strength are insignificant. She is of 100
tons and is armed with one machine
gun.
Out After Torpedo Boat.
The cruiser is out after the Venezuelan
torpedo boat Margarita, a steel vessel of
81 tons and armed with four 3-poLnders
and two torpedo tubes. This vessel is
supposed to be at the island of Mar
garita.
The Jacob Van Heemskerk will leave
here tomorrow to resume her patrol serv-
ice on the coast.
