Tho irregular the weeks develop

improvement. The approach of Easter
has stimulated retail trade in some
lines and sections, with a sympathetic
effect on some jobbing business and a
slight gain in collections. The south

ports, while southern advices are little
more than satisfactory as a whole.
So far the early crop and soil condi-
tions are better than a year ago.
Lower prices of cottons have brought

in sole leather continues and hides
are slightly higher. There is little new

Caracas, Venezuela, April 11.-Pres-
ident Castro returned here from La
Victoria after an absence from the
capital of two months. His arrival
was followed by an editorial article in
El Constitutional, the organ of the
president. in which the report on the
Venezuelan situation made in 1905 by
w. j. Calhoun, special commissioner OF
the United States TO Venezuela, Is
characterized as unjudicial and petty.
and in which the American note sub
mitted by Minister Russell with regard
to the American claims against Vene-
zuela is called Incorporate and aggres-
sive.

says, "and ask him whether the Amer
lean government in an analogous case
would consent to interference by Vene-
zuela with the judgment handed down
by the American court. Does Calhoun
believe the powers and the American
people would accept such interven-
tion ."

MAY usa Ria Stick.

Washington, April 1.-THE COM
mencement of the debate on the naval
appropriation bill gave rise to fresh
flock of r,Imors that President Roose-
welt not only intends addressing spec
ial message to congress requesting an
appropriation for four battleships in
stead of two, but that he also intends
to bring the strongest kind OF pressure
to bear upon representatives TO secure
their support of an amendment to the
hill to that effect
The naval bill az reported and taken
up today provides for two new battle
ships and ten submarines. President
Roosevelt has no interest in submar-
ines, but he is jealous over the plans
Of having a greater number of sea
AKhters. Sentiment in the house, as a
whole Is decidedly not in favor of an
Increased battleship appropriation, and
the tendency is to follow the recon-
mendation of the committee on naval
affairs.
There Is lively gossip going about as
to wirepulling INDUCED in by the pres
jdent in behalf Of the four battleship
plan. To a delegation Of congressman
from North Carolina the president re-
Gently remarked that it might be We'll

buildings bill, which is now on the way
in committee. This bill will carry an
appropriation to the extent of S2O.OO0,-
600 for federal buildings and the pur-
chase of sites thruout the country.
1t is reported by certain members
that President Roosevelt has made 4
direct threat that he will veto this
measure when it comes to him if his
battleship plan is not enacted. The
news of this threat was received at the
capitol with smiles, for if there is any
measure to come before congress
which will be passed over the pres
1dent's veto with the greatest gusto, it
will be the omnibus public buildings
bill. The "pork" in that measure,
while not lavish as regards any par
dicular locality, is widely scattered.
and there Is scarcely a congressman
whom it does not deeply affect. The re-
suit of thu. news from the White House
therefore has had the effect of Stiffen
ing the nerve of those who cannot see
the beauty of an extensive naval es-
tahlishm ent rather than driving them
