One of the first acts of Gomez and
his new ministers was to revoke the
decree prohibiting the trans-shipment
at Willemstad of goods destined for
Venezuelan points. This measure has
been the principal difficulty in the
strained relations between Holland
and Venezuela, and its revocation Is
regarded as meaning practically the
settlement OF the dispute between the
two governments. HFr 11Ju aii'

While 1t IS believed certain that
Castro's power is broken forever, 1t
is thought probable that his adher-
ents in the interior may put up a
fight. To meet any such conting-
ency Gomez Is recruiting and arming
men in many districts and filing the
capital with troops that are loyal to
him.
Immediately after the overthrow of
the old Cabinet the Bank of Ven

Berlin and Paris canceling the un-
limited letter of credit given to Pres
ident Castro when he left Venezuela
for Europe. 1T Is not likely how

general opinion is that Castro will

that he has n fortune that will en-

who place this supposed fortune al
as high figure as $60,OO0,00O.

CLOSE UP BUSINESS
ON CHRISTMAS DAY

i. There has begun an agitation
among some of the merchants OF the
city for the closing of all places OF
business on next Friday, Christmas
day. Last year a number Of the busi-
ness men closed their stores all day
and this year the number promises
ito be added to quite materially, but
there are some who hold that they
should not be asked to close up on
that day, because of the effect it
will have upon their business volume
It really seems a shame OF the
aAmerlcan people, and especially the
intelligent American people who are
engaged in business, cannot lay aside
the cares of business for one week
day in the year, and that day the one
which Christians have set aside as
l the time to celebrate the birth OF the
Savior. In the summer season when
the merchants determine TO run an
excursion to some summer resort,
they have little difficulty in securing
I the signatures of nearly all OF the
day in honor Of the occasion, but
when 1t comes to closing the stores
when an event like that which oc-
cucurred in Bethlehem of Judea, 1908,
years ago, there ID opposition from
some sources We're it only the pro-
prietors of the stores who were at
fected by the keeping open policy, II
would not matter 20 much, but all OF
theJ employees offthe store are eouf'
PEELED to be away from their wives
children and sweethearts.
: There Is an old saying, that the
difference will never be known al
the end Of the chapter, and 1t will
prove true in this instance. The mer-
chant who keeps his store open on
sChristmas day will catch few GUS
toners who have been negligent in
providing for the day, but If 1t is
understood that the stores are to be
closed, all Of the stores all OF the
iday, the customer will make proyi-
sions on the day previous and the
volume of business will not be di-
unfinished.
/. The merchants of the city have been
able to get together on a great many
other questions and it does seem that
they should be able TO agree on this,
10 give themselves and their employees
one day of freedom from toll.

netic supremacy as between Duluth
and New Orleans. The northern
Mississippi basin--which includes the
Missouri-extends from the noun
tans of Washington, eastward to with
in fifty miles of Duluth; which has
tremendous advantages in pulling
the export and import business of the
states which stretch toward the Can
adian border. Every step toward the
deepening of the Mississippi is a
step toward the healthy rivalry for
Northwestern trade, and nothing is
more interesting than to learn how
the Northwest Is shaping itself in
this regard. Duluth is the only lake
port of the United States which gets
large business from the Hudson Bay
slope of this continent. Parts of
South Dakota drain into Hudson Bay,
as well as sections Of Minnesota,
and a considerable part of North
Dakota. Some of the Minnesota iron
mines are beyond the height of land,

portion of the wealth OF the mineral
