castu,s Time Is Up.

willemstad, Nov. 2.-The Neither
lands government fixed Nov. 1 as the
limit of time for Venezuela to revoke
the decree of President Castro issued
on May IA. prohibiting the trans-ship-
ment of goods for Venezuelan ports
az Curacao. President Castro has re-
fused to- revoke this decree. but as
yet. so far as Is known here, the
Netherlands government has not de-
cided upon definite action. there has
been much activity here OF late, but
in an interview the governor OF Cura-
Gao said that Holland ought to haY
assurances that Venezuela has not re-
voked the decree at the last hour Of
the day fixed according to the ulti-
matum by taking any active meas
ures. He believed that his govern
ment had made ample preparations
for any eventuality, and he added
that statement would doubtless be
issued soon announcing the position
Of Holland and Venezuela and what
action it was proposed to take.

BURNING TO DEATH
Masquerade Costume of Mrs. Amber
Edwards Catches on
Fire.

What might have been a very Sc
rious accident occurred at the Hal
loween masquerade party given on
Saturday night at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A. F. Edwards on the
Wade's Mill pike.
Some fifty or more guests were
present when in the mids- of the en-
joyment of the evening, the dress of
Miss Amber Edwards, which was a
costume to represent the "Queen of
Shows" caught fire from a lighted
match Miss Edward was burned
around the neck before the flames
could be extinouished. Mrs. AEd-
wards. her mother, was also burned
on the hands and arms in attemnt-
ing to extinguish it. Assistance was
also promptly rendered in putting out
the fire by Mr. Beverly Witt, Revs.
Stone and Knox and Mr. Edwards.
Both mother and daughter were
telling better Monday morning and
no dangerous results are apprehend-
ed.

TAFT DEFINES
HIS POSITION
Says More Labor Legislation Is
Neutrality-suspicious. Many
Measures.

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. Judge Taft
caused this statement to be issued
here as coming from him:
1T was brought to Mr. Taft's at
tenticn that number of labor lead
ers who have no sympathy with Mr..
Gompers in his attempt to commit
the entire vote of labor to the Demo
cratic party were nevertheless IA
great concern lest the defeat of Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Gompers. which now
seems certain to them, would lead to
reprisals en- the part of the new adj
ministration under Mr.. Taft and to q
refusal on his part to continue the
good work for labor which had been
done by Mr.. Roosevelt and at his In
stance by Republican congress. In
the statement Mr.. Taft said:
Il have been hOnored by Mr. Roose-
welt in the last four years by being
called on to assist as an adviser IN
respect to all the executive and legis-
lative measures projected in his adj
ministration in the interest Of labor,
and have had very deep sympathy
with all that has been done. There
are other measures in the interest Of
labor that ought to be adopted. The
16-hour bill ought probably to be
amended. The compensation for gov
eminent employees act ought to be
enlarged and liberalized with a view
to making the government liable in
the same way as g. private employer
for the injury of it's workmen SUI
fered while in its employ
1T is the legitimate and approved
practice of labor organizations to pro-
pose legislation of this kind to the
executive for recommendation TO
congress for action, and it will be
pleasant duty on my part, if 1 am
elected, as l expect to be, to consider
all such labor proposals and to urge
upon congress those measures ap-
proved in the Republican platform as
well as such others as commend
themselves to my judgment and my
desire to aid labor. The functions OF
the commission of labor may very
well be enlarged to make the bureau
more useful to the cause of labor, and
all proposals in that direction win
meet my hearty concurrence.
1.-THE bitterness and injustice Of
the attacks made upon me by Mr..
Bryan, by Mr. Gompers. by Mr.. Full
Ter, will not in the slightest degrees
turn me from my consistent attitude
toward labor or sympathetic interest
in its behalf and earnest desire to
aid in every way that federal legislar
ton may legitimately do It,"

For Bryan Votes Is Made by Samuel
Gonlpers.


New York, Nov. 2.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, made his final ap-
peal to organized labor to support the
candidacy Of William j. Bryan. In an
address extending over two hours Mr.
Gompers dealt in detail with the labor
Issues of. the campaign, and in his
peroration asked with all the feeling
he could put into words that the sup
port of labor be given to Mr.. Bryan
next Tuesday. Grand Central palace,
where the meeting was he'd, was
crowded to the limit of its capacity,
and at the conclusion of Mr. Com
pers' speech there was applause and
cheering that lasted until Mr.. Com
pers had left the platform.
He also read kilograms from James
Duncan, John Mitchell and Max Nor
ris announcing that they are in full
sympathy with the policy Of the
American Federation as outlined and
promulgated by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. These kilograms were
read during the speakers discussion
of the Buffalo speech Of Judge Taft
in which he stated that a large num-
Der of labor leaders were falling
away from Mr.. GOmpers in his effort
to pledge the labor vote to the Demo
cratic party.

Berlin, Nov. 2.-Chancellcr Won

The emperor. fully condones Prime
Won Buelow's part in the affair, but

In addition, to the semi-of1cial &C.

BRYAN HOPEFUL
and CONFIDENT
Starts On Last Leg of His Cam
paign-Speaking in
Kansas.

Chicago. Nov. 2.-ConGdent Of vic
tory at the election on Tuesday, Will
liam ]. Bryan, Democratic candidate
for president, left Chicago for a tour
today through Kansas. Tonight he
expects to reach his home at Lincoln.
Neb, where he will participate in a
home demonstration" Mrs. Bryan
left the candidates special train here
and went direct to Lincoln. More
than a dozen boxes of flowers which
had been given her during the trip
through Indiana on Saturday were
taken home by Mrs. Bryan.
Before leaving Chicago Mr.. Bryan
said: Il do not care to make any list
OF states in estimating the result of
the election, for while l think the re-
suit is more certain In some states
than in others, l would not want to
discourage Democrats in the less GER
tain states by making discrimina-
lions. l believe that we will have
votes to spare in the electoral col
lege and a considerable majority of
the popular vote"
Speaking of his delay In reaching
Chicago Saturday night, Mr.. Bryan
said: "The trip arranged for the day
was long one, with a large number
Of stops. The meetings were unex-
pectedly large, and in some places
the speaking stands were fixed some
distance from the stations. We had
to ride slowly through the crowded
streets to reach the stands. Then
there were three changes from one
road to another. Finally our engine
broke down and the substitute engine
had to be turned around at the next
station, and that caused delay.
never before had such a series of de-
lays in this campaign.
Il am very much pleased with the
reports / have had from Illinois. /
believe that the Republicans of this
state have an unpleasant surprise
coming when they read the returns
from their state on election day."

Washington, Nov. 2.-Such an ex-
odus from the national capital of
voters entitled to the right of fran
chise in various states has not been
known in any political campaign
since that Of 1896 as has been taking

President Roosevelt, Secretary
Loeb and several White House at

Oyster Bay or other places In New
York will leave Washington tonight.
All members of the cabinet now are
in their respective states except Sec
retaries Wright and Metcalf. The
former failed to register in Tonnes
see and the latter is confined to his
residence by serious illness.
The unusual number Of government
employees who this year are en-
bracing the opportunity to cast their
ballots indicates the intensity of in
terest taken In Washington in the re-
suit of tomorrow's election. While
the presidency, Of course, is the over
shadowing issue in the minds of cleo

NEW BILL OF LADlNd
10 Now Operative East Of Mississippi
and North Of Ohio River.

anu NOftu VI SUtS hsNCts
Chicago. Nov. 1.-The new uniform
bill Of lading, approved by the inter.
state commerce commission, is now
In effect on 416 railroads in the off,
cial classification territory. Here
after every shipment Of freight in the
territory east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio must be made up
on the basis of the new form. unless
shipper, objecting to the terms,
agrees to pay 10 per cent more than
the regular freight rates. 1t was Gus
tomary to charge 20 per cent extra
on shipments notfunder the old bill
of lading. The new form is believed
to be universally acceptable. 1t has
a distinctive color, yellow, adopted at
the suggestion of the American Bank
ers' association for all order" bills
of lading, which are negotiable and
enable a shipper to obtain an adj
vance payment through banker.
The difficulty of fixing a definite
basis for the settlement of claims
prior to shipment is also minimized.
The form of the new bill represents
the best judgment not only Of the In
terstate commerce commission, but
of the leading officials of all the
prominent railroads affected. The
Pennsylvania railroad announced that
they had more than 100000 900 copies
of the new form printed. 1t u
through bills Of lading chiefly that o
record is kept of the country's COM

DON'T SHOUT TOO HARD.

New York Democrats that is some of them,
are rejoicing because they have gotten rid
of McCarren. While I admit that there is
some reason for this, still [ would warn my
fellow democrats of New York not to press
too hard on the loud pedal in the exuberance
of their joy, for the busting of McCarren
brought about the triumph of Murphy and
the securing of Corners in the championship
of the State Democratic Committee
Everybody knows that McCarren is an arch
type of the corrupt politician but Murphy
and Corners are no better and no worse I
cannot see that the Democratic party Of New
York has gained much by getting rid Of
McCarren, while retaining and advancing and
making nr~"e powerful Murphy and Corners.
1t is very much to Mr.. Bryan's credit that he
refused to have any secret conferences with
Corners on his recent tour through New York.
