MAKES ALL THE NOTES PUBLIC
EXCHANGES BETWEEN VENE-
ZUELA AND NETHERLANDS.
Excepting the Actual Phraseology
They Contain Nothing Not
Already Known.

WILLEMSTAD. Curacao, November II.
The official organ of the colonial gov
ernment made public yesterday all the
notes exchanged between Venezuela and
the Netherlands in the course of the re-
cent difficulties between these two coun-
tries. Excepting the actual phraseology.
they contain nothing not already known.
Holland does not make any excuse for
the letter criticising Venezuela and Pres
ident Castro, sent by NJ. de Reus, her
former minister, to a monthly journal in
Holland. She suggests that treaties COW
ering arbitration of consular and COM
mercial matters be arranged with Ven
eZuela and summarizes her complaints
against the Venezuelan government as
follows:
First the detention of Dutch vessels by
the Venezuelan government citing exam
pies; second, the decree prohibiting the
transhipment of goods destined for Ven
eZuela at Curacao, and, third. the with
drawal of exequaturs of the Netherlands
consuls in Venezuela-a course not JUS
titled in time of peace. Holland called
attention to the fact that the claims of
Venezuela are for acts of Dutch employees
who proceeded without having secured
the previous consent of the government
while the claims of holland against Ven
ezuela are for direct acts of the Venezu-
elan government. Holland declares fur
ther that the fact that Venezuela has not
revoked the ShansShipment decree, as de-
manded gives her full liberty of action
and that President Castro is responsible
for the consequences.

DECLINE WHITE HOUSE DINNER
LABOR LEADERS TOO BUSY AT
DENVER CONVENTION.
John Mitchell Among Those Who
Will Not Come-Sight to
Gompers Felt.

DENVER Col, November 11.-John
Mitchell. James Duncan and Daniel ].
keefe have decided not to accept Presi-
dent Roosevelt's invitation to- dine at sthe
White House a week from yesterday
Other officers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in session here, declared
the invitation is part of a plan to divide
the forces of organized labor so they
would be weak in future contests. Mitch
ell, Duncan and Keefe said they expected
to be in Denver at the session of the
federation while the Presidents dinner
was in progress. They say they cannot
divine the Presidents purpose in calling
them away from Denver in the middle of
the annual convention They think it
would have a tendency to disrupt the
forces of the organization and cannot see
their way clear to accept. They do not
understand the leaving out of Samuel
Gompers by the President The entire
membership of the convention is wrought
up over the matter, though nothing is said
in the convention openly.
John Mitchell said: Il do not care to
discuss the matter of the invitation. l do
not care to impugn the Presidents mo-
tives in the slightest degree. All there is
to it is that l have business that will
keep me in Denver
Duncan said: Il have no controversy
with the President and | don't wish to
make any statement about the invitation
/ shall be unable to accept it. We are
here for a long session and l will tell the
President that, of course, l cannot get
away.
Keefe said: There is nothing in this to
stir UP trouble over. l merely cannot go
at this time 1t is perfectly patent that
will not accept the invitation. 1t would
be strange to leave this convention to go
to the Washington dinner"
Nothing at all. official or otherwise
could be learned at the White House to-
day with respect to the declination by

Restriction by Congress.

The text of the Attorney Generals
opinion follows:
Il have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of May %
l9'S. In which you ask my opinion
whether or not a certain clause of the
act approved May Is. zoos. applies TO
the Marine Band. The clause in uues-
tion is as follows:
Navy bands or members thereof
other than the United States Naval
Academy Band at Annapolis, Md, shall
not receive remuneration for furnishing
music outside the limits of military
posts when the furnishing of such mu-
sic places them in competition with To-
cal civilian musicians.
No light is thrown upon the pur-
pose of Congress in this enactment by
An examination of the debates preced-
Ing its adoption This particular pro-
vision In the naval appropriation bill
appears TO have been adopted without
discussion. and no comment upon it is
contained in the report of any commit
tee of either house of the Congress. 1t
Is. therefore. necessary to determine
first. whether in strict propriety of
language, the term navy bands should
he held to include the Marine Band,
and second. whether any sufficient rea-
son can be found to indicate that the
which would alter the conclusion
reached in answer to the first question
Il am favored in this connection with a
memorandum from the judge advocate
general of the navy, with one from the
solicitor for the Navy Department, and
with one from the major general, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps; also with
two letters and briefs from the American
Federation of Musicians. These several
papers discuss at much length and with
commendable industry in the collation. of
authorities the question whether the Ma
rine Corps is or is not an integral part of
the navy.

The Marine Band will be free to play

members thereof shall not receive re-
enumeration for furnishing music outside
the limits of military posts when in com
petition with local civilian musicians
This is the effect of a decision rendered
10y the Attorney General and received by
the Secretary of the Navy today. Repre-
sentatives of organized labor have taken
th" position that the government bands
of the navy should not compete with
union musicians and the question was as
To whether the Marine Band is strictly a
navy band in the meaning of this law.
The Attorney General cites many de-
cfSions to show that although the Marine
Corps Is a part of the navy, yet ii has
frequently been held to be a separate in
sjitution so far as legislative enactments

Supreme Court View.
'Nhile, however. this conclusion seems
to me clearly established, il is to be noted
that IN the case of United States against
Dunn, above cited n2o L. s., 252), the
supreme Court, speaking by the late Mr.
justice Miller, says:
II must be conceded that the Marine

Many instances might be cited of the

the foregoing statement. 1t will suffice to

was determined by Attorney General Mil

III would seem to follow as AN ire

not include the Marine Band since if Of

For reasons hereinafter given do not
think the determination of the question
submitted to me requires this point to be
decided. Inasmuch. however. as there
seems TO be some difference of opinion.
the subject. | deem it appropriate to say
that. in my opinion. the Marine Corps is
clearly organized under the authority con-

OF the Constitution, which declares h at the
Congress shall have power to provide and

ed under so much of the authority con-
