FRANCE WILL SETTLE.
Government Is Anxious to End Dispute
with Venezuela if Rule of
Gomez Endures.

PARIS, Dec 2G--The French govern
ment is maintaining a waiting attitude in
the matter of political developments in
Venezuela. If the government of presi-
dent Gomez endures, it will be recog-
nized. France is anxious to settle her
diplomatic difficulties with Venezuela,
and if Senior Paul, who is now on his
way to Europe, commissioned by the
present government to effect a settlement
of Nenezuela'S disputes with the powers,
can show proper credentials, he will be
received. The government is gratitied
over the downfall of Castro, and is Of
the opinion that he has been permanently
eliminated from Venezuelan affairs. The
impression prevails in Paris that Castro
has large fortune in Europe and that
he will never return to South America.

WORLD FAILS TO END,
Lee J. Spangler Leaves Nyack, ~ Y,
Before Dawn-Women Followers
Wait in Vain

MACK. y. Y, Dec. 2S,-The end of
the world did not come Sunday. but the
end of the career of Lee j. Spangler rs
a prophet did.
In fact. Mr.. Spangler did not wait for
sunup of the day which he foretold was
to terminate all things mundane. He
disappeared some time before dawn and
thus escaped, not from the shower of
celestial fireworks which he had predict
ed, but from u torrent of eggs which
would not pass muster even in these
days of the cold storage product. The
eggs had been garnered by male friends
and relatives of the women followers of
the prophet.
SpangIer's disappearance proved
great Disappointment to the band of faith
full which had put on white robes and
prepared for the final day. Several of
the 'faithful''-all women-donned then
white robes and went to the morning
train, in spite of the absence of their
chief, to meet the thousand saints
from all parts of the world who were
to arrive to be translated with the
prophet. Never a saint arrived.
a few of the faint hearted women,
scof1ed at 10y the villagers, dropped out
of the proceedings right here. Others,
more determined, walked out to Oak
Hill cemetery, followed by n jeerin2
crowd. There they stood, Shiveriug i'll
the cold. waiting for the fireworks to be-
gin. Now and then they essayed
hymn or prayer, between shiyers, but
the catcalls from the crowd were not
conducive to protracted religious fervor.
AS the hours passed and nothing hap
pened. the little band of devotees melted
AWAY until only three or four were left.
Finally Supt. IIalsted of the cemetery
ordered them away. and. with the last
vestige of their faith shattered, they re
turned to the homes which they had eX-
pocted to quit forever. As many Of them
had to face angry husbands, the scene
was anything but the heavenly one they
had looked for.
Another crowd of the faithful went TO
South Mountain, which was to have
been the scene of the translation, but
the cold soon drove all to shelter.

TRADE OF WORLD FALLS OFF.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 2S.-The
United States is not alone in the record
of smaller imports and smaller exports
that will characterize the history of our
foreign commerce in the year about to
end. OF the twenty five principal coun-
tries of the world all but four show a
falling off in exports, and nearly two
thirds show falling off in imports.
Every country with the exception of Ar
Gentina, Spain, Greece and Sweden show
exports Of 1905 below those of 1907.
1t will thus be seen that the falling off
Of approximately $780, OO, 600 in imports
and perhaps SlJO, 100000 in exports in
the commerce Of the United States during
1908 is part OF general condition which
prevailed the world over.
An analysis Of our foreign commerce
this year shows that the principal de-
crease on the import side occurred in
trade with Europe and on the export
side III the trade with North America.

WILL BE RUSHED
CONGRESS TO MEET IN SPECIAL
SESSION IMMEDIATELY AFTER

Leaders in Both Political Parties Want
to Escape Long Siege of the
Warm Weather.
CUT THE COMMITTEE HEARINGS.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. &c
If leaders in Congress of both political
parties are able to bring sufficient in
fuence upon President-elcct Taft the
special session to revise the tariff will be
called almost Immediately after inau-
guration.
The purpose will be to cut the special
session as short as possible and secure
adjournment before the extremely hot
weather sets in. Several members of
Congress who have discussed the subject
with Mr. Taft believe that his views III
regard to an early and short session
coincide with the plan suggested.
To Finish Before Summer.
Ordinarily, special session is not
called until after some time has elapsed
after the adjournment of regular ses-
sion. -~Ie delay Las been to give mem
bers O Congress an opportunity to go
TO their homes and transact personal
business and return to Washington for

been suggested that the House could
be in session also and utilize the time in
considering the tariff bill. as it will have
to be disposed of there before it can be
taken up by the Senate.

It is expected that the House ways
and means committee will have n bill
ready to report to the special session on
the day it ASSEMBLIES and that no time
will be lost by committee hearings. AS
soon as the bill has been drafted. it can
be taken up by the Senate committee on

ready to report, if it works assiduoLsly,
MS soon as the bill has been passed-hyt the

this course is followed, and it now seems
probably that it will be, it is believed the
special tariff revision can be concluded
inside of four months.
