Lord Lyveden Is an ardent peerage
reformer and tells an anecdote in this
connection for whose authenticity he
pledges himself This narrates how a
famous statesman of the nineteenth
century was called upon to visit his
son in prison. He bitterly reproached
him, remarking, Here am l, having
worked my way up from a middle
class home to great position, and
when / die you will be the greatest
Backyard in the. peerage." The son
listened quietly and then replied. with
terrible irony, 'sYes-wheu you die"
Another Of Lord Lyve6en's peerage
stories is equally piquant. The son of
a peer applied to friend In the north
Of England for a housekeeper and was
recommended a certain Mrs. Brown
The peer wrote to the woman accord
ingly to the effect that, having learned
particulars Of her character, he was
willing to engage her as his house
keeper and making an appointment for
her to call and see him ON q certain
date. The good woman replied:
Ny Lord-From what have learned of
your character decline to enter your
house. I am your lordship's obedient
servant. ANNE BROWN.

HOLLAND IS SUSTAINED
All Powers Have Agreed to Proposed
Line Of Action.


Line Of Action.
: The Hague, Dec pa yellow
book, which has just been issued on
Venezuelan affairs, states that all the
powers with which the Netherlands
government has been in communica-
ton without exception have notified
the government of their agreement
with its line of action. The Dutch
governmnt has not asked for any &C,
tive assistance, being convinced of its
own ability to bring about a settle
ment of the difficulty with Venezuela,
but will rely entirely upon its own
forces. Nevertheless it has received
the moral support of all the powers,
particularly the United States, which
made the declaration that the Mon
roe doctrine was not opposed to arm
ed action on the part of the Neither
lands, nor even to the temporary oc-
cupation of Venezuelan territory.

GOMEZ ISSUES STATEMENT
Says He Will Enforce Constitutional
Guarantees to venezuelans.

Guarantees to venezuelans.
Caracas, Dec. 23.-There is to be a
general reorganization of the govern
ment. The fall of President Castro
leaves no obstacle in the way Of set
cling the various International ques-
lions confronting the republic. Jose
De Jesus Paul, the former minister of
foreign affairs, who played a promi-
nent part in all Venezuela's foreign
relations for the last six months, has
been commissioned to go to Europe
to settle all outstanding disputes with
foreign powers He will leave here
tomorrow. Senior Paul has advised
the diplomatic representatives here
that measures to preserve order and
protect the interests of foreigners will
be taken.
Acting President Gomez issued
proclamation as follows: Fellow Pa
triots-I assumed charge of the pres
idency of Venezuela under the terms
OF the constitution. I undertook
these duties without personal ambi-
ton. From the first, I endeavored to
conciliate the aspirations Of the peo-
pie with my high obligations, and to
this end 1 established, in accordance
with our national institutions, an ad-
ministraton that recognized all per-
sonal and public guarantees.
Unfortunately, my good intentions
met with incomprehensible hinder
ance on the part of few persons,
who called themselves intimate
friends of General Castro. Not only
did these persons block the carrying
out by me of my legal duties, but
they stopped to conspiracy and elab-
GRATED a diabolical plot against my
life. This conspiracy was crushed
when I personally faced the plotters
and imprisoned them By so doing I
saved more than my personal exist
ence; maintained the manly pres
tige Of the chief magistracy of the
republic, which it is my ambition to
convert into fountain of good for
all Venezuelans.
II have constituted a cabinet rep
fesenting the public opinion of Vene-
zuela, and with the collaboration of
my ministers 1 intend to enforce the
constitutional guarantees; to respect
the autonomy of. the various states of
the Venezuelan republic; to protect
local industries against odious manip-
ulation; to find a decorous and pa
cific solution Of our international dis
putes; to live at peace and harmony
at home and abroad. and to permit
the law alone to hold undisputed SOW
ereignty throughout the land"

Castro Ignorant of Events.

Berlin, Dec. 23.-Castro apparently
is unaware of his downfall or the
gravity of the occurrences in Vene-
zuela. Members of his suit inform all
inquirers that he sends and receives
no dispatches of any kind The opin-
ion is steadily gaining ground here
that Castro's power is completely bro
ken, the inference being drawn from
the alleged noncommunication of
events by the government or his own
agents that Castro does not possess
any further influence in Venezuela.

ATTORNEY Found Dead.

in his Office. The police are investigat-

due to natural causes or whether he
was murdered. A watch and chain
were found in his pocket which the
police believe precludes the theory of
murder. A wound was discovered on
the side of his head, which might

ingham came to Chicago from Craw-

investigation, came to the conclusion
that he died of apoplexy.

dent Castro, that would be manifest
ed probably in the form Of revolu-

reason the state department has not
