venezueIa's Reply to Secretary

Caracas, April l.-President Cas-
tros official organ, Ell Constitutional,
publishes part of Venezuela's answer
to Secretary Roots last note reiterat-
ing the secretary's previous demands
for the arbitration of the five Amer
lean claims. These are the words of
the Venezuelan minister of foreign
affairs to Minister Russell:
"The government of Venezuela re-
fuses for the time being to take under
consideration the insinuation made in
your note, because, up to now, Mr..
Minister, you have not contradicted
the notes of this ministry of dates
July 9 and Sept. 20 last, which treat
ed Of the points which have been the
subject of discussion and in which
the reas ons on which this government
then founded its negative were per-
fectly well defined. In view of this
the cases in question, comprised
among those which require diplomatic
action, cannot be considered and the
government of Venezuela would see
with satisfaction that the United
States would consider this matter ter
minated, the interested parties always
having the right of recourse to the
tribunals of justice of the republic if

.PoPuLIsTs IN CONVENTION
Bryan Supporters Fail to Secure Ad-
iournment,

iournment,
st. Louis, April The Populist ma
t1onal convention, which was called
for 10 a. M, was somewhat behind
that hour in beginning proceedings.
The chief cause of this was the re-
newed efforts Of the supporters of
William J. Bryan to secure an agree
ment for an adjournment until after
the Republican and Democratic ma
tional conventions. They made strong
arguments before the members of the
national committee and also before
the committee on credentials, but
with no apparent effect, save to delay
the proceedings.
The convention came to order short
~ before IL o'clock, about 900 dele
gates being present. After an invoca-
ton by Rev. Thomas Wadsworth Of
Indiana the formal proceedings were
begun by James H. Ferris of Joliet,
the chairman of the national commit
tee.
Following the address of Mr.. Ferris
Jacob s. Coxey Of Ohio was named as
temporary chairman of the conven-
ton. After taking the chair he made
an address, covering the leading eco
nomicsl questions of the day, paying
particular attention to the currency.

pledges a complete regulation of cap
1talistic combination in the interest of
trade, commerce and the general well
fare of the people and urges a revision
of the tariff by a special session Of
congress to be called early in Novem-
Der with the recommendation that con-
gross take immediate steps to secure
the proper data by experts. Exten-
sion of foreign mail service on the
seas is favored, as is the extension Of
foreign trade, especially with South
America. A bureau of mines and min
ing is urged and waterways improve
ment is recommended. The abolish
ment of child labor is demanded.
Among the important state issues is
a plank favoring local option law
with the county as a unit, the law to
be in addition to and supplemental Of
the present laws regulating the liquor
traffic.
The tariff plank was written by Vice
President Fairbanks. The planks CON
demning child labor and endorsing
President Roosevelt were written by
Senator Beveridge.

IF TAKEN PROMPTLY
Says Backache Is the Warming Not
to Neglect Natures Danger
Signals.

Take care of backache. A great
many cases of kidney complaint are
reported about here, also bladder
trouble and rheumatism.
An authority once stated that
pain in the back, loins or region of
the kidneys is the danger signal
nature hangs out to notify the sufferer
that there is something wrong with
the kidneys, which should receive
immediate attention. Only veget.
able treatment should be admins
tered and absolutely no strongly
alcoholic patent medicines, which
are harmful to the kidneys and
bladder. -
The following prescription, while
simple, harmless and inexpensive, is
known and recognized as sovereign
remedy for kidney complaint. The in
gradients can be obtained at any
good prescription pharmacy and any
one can mix them: Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dan
delion, one-half ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaprilla, three ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take Il
teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.
This preparation is said to restore
the natural function of the kidneys,
so they will sift and strain the pois-
onous waste matter, uric acid, etc.,
from the blood, purifying it and re-
lieving rheumatism. Backache will
be relieved, the urine will be neutral
lied and cleared and no longer a
cause of irritation, thereby overcom-
ing such symptoms as weak bladder,
painful, frequent and other urinary
difficulties,
This is worth trying and may prove
just what many people here need.

Washington, April AIRS. Helen
Pierce Grey, the newspaper writer
arrested last summer because of her
connection with the protests Of Grow
Indians against the manner in which
the government agents managed the
Grow reservation In Montana, created
a number of sensations when she re.
sumed her statement before the SEN
ate committee on Indian affairs.
She charged that to keep from starv-
ing the Indians were compelled to eat
the meat of diseased cattle and sheep;
that they were frequently thrown into
jail without cause and kept in duress
at the mercy of the agents; that the
children at the government ressrva-
tion school were mistreated.
She stated positively that all of
these things must have been done
with the knowledge of some of the
officials at Washington.

A resolution giving similar direc-
tions to the secretary of the depart
ment of commerce and labor also was
Introduced by the speaker.
Purposes of Resolution.
In reply to question as to the pur-
pose Of the resolution Speaker Can
non said:
"The duty on print paper is IL per
cent ad valorem and. has been the
same since 1890 under the Mckinley
law, the Wilson law and the Dinsley
law, covering a period Of eighteen
years. It is claimed that the price has
been advanced within the last few
months largely more than equal to the
duty.
"The publishers of the United
States, represented by Herman Rid,
der, claim that the manufacturers of
wood pulp and print paper have by
agreement and combination, even COW
ering arrangements with Canadian
manufacturers, arbitrarily limited the
production and advanced the price Of
print paper. If the claim of the pub
fishers is correct the manufacturers
of print paper are subject to penalty
and the trust can be dissolved and
enjoined by proceedings in equity in
any of the United States courts where
they or any Of them can be found and
If the claim of the publishers is cor
rect the advance in the price is not
due to the duty. but results from the
Illegal trust and combination. If the
small duty were repealed it would not
interfere with the illegal trust agree
ment."
