Washington, Dec. 24-With tnt
tense feature of the Venezuelan sit

friendly relations between the Uni
ted States and that country the state
department is waiting developments
In the meantime Special Commission
er Buchanan is now on the way there
for conference with Acting Presi
dent Gomez, and American Warships
are preceding in that direction with
friendly intention. The North Caro-
lima, on which Buchanan Is travelling,
is a swift vessel but it will probably
be a week before he has an opportu-
nifty for a conference with the Nenr-
zuelan authorities and is able to com
municate fully to the state depart
ment on the subject
The gunboat Dolphin in the mean
time will anchor at LaGuaira and be
in a position to give assistance to the
Venezuelan government in case dis
orders should arise and afford protec-
tion to American interests II they may
need it, and to foreign interests as
well, if call for it should be made.
A hopeful view is taken at the state
department that peace and order may
prevail throughout Venezuela and
that bloodshed will be ayerted. Full
dependence is placed on the ability of
the special commissioner TO success
fully handle the delicate mission with
which he has been entrusted.
Only Il passing interest was mani.
tested at the state department over
the statement made by Castro at
Berlin amounting to the virtual aban-
donment of his present claims to the
presidency of Venezuela. No one
would comment on it seriously.

TARIFF TRAINERS

The REVENUE FEATURE
Than Other Phases OF Tariff
Question--Big Interests to
Make Strong Fight.

Washington, Dec 2i.-The tariif
trainers met again today to continue
the work of preparing tariff bill
/ While protection to industries which
must compete with cheap labor
abroad will be the keynote of the re-
vised tariff, much consideration will
be given questions of raising suffl-
cicnt revenue for the government.
The subcommittee Of the ways and
means committee is wasting no time
in drawing up a new bill and will ro-
sumo the daily meeting Monday.
The revenue feature involves more
difficult problems than the other
phases of the tariff revision question
1t is claimed by some that the gov
ernment has been deprived of mil
lions of dollars Of revenue during
the operation of the Dngley tarin,
because of the numerous changes
mad Elm the bill after it passed the
house
These changes were made prin-
cipally in the wording Of the bill,
rather than in the rates Of duty 1t
is freely said that numerous large
interests that will be effected by the
ne wtarff law as it will be reported
to the house will make a strong fight
when the bill reaches the senate.
In this case it is understood that
President-elect Taft will exert every
influence to have the bill go through
thu senate as it comes from the
house. 1t is even said that Taft will
veto the bill if the senate makes too
ntnn5 changes tending b. increase
rates of duty.

were thinned by the death q sew raj
