HOLLAND IS BLOCKADING
 THE PORTS OF VENEZUELA

Willemstad, December A--Having been unable to obtain an amicable settlement of outstanding differences with Venez- uela, the Netherlands government has be- gun a naval demonstration off the coast of Venezuela, and since Wednesday yes sells flying the Dutch flag have steamed along rthe coast from Puerto cabello to La Guaira at a distance of 5000 yards from the shore.
 The battleship Jacob Van Heemskerk and the cruisers Gelderland and Friesland are engaged in the operation, which 1t is said will continue indefinitely. The Jacob Van Heemskerk arrived here this morn ing, bringing the above news. Two cruis- CTS had proceeded to Maracaibo, it was stated, though the officers observed se- crecy concerning the movements of the vessels. The Heemskerk will relieve the Gelderland Monday.
 With steam up in all her boilers the IIeemskerk arrived off LaGuaira Wednes- day morning at o'clock. As soon as

Roster Of Enlisted Men
 Is Nearly Completed

Washington, December 4-(Special)- Adjutant General Ainsworth, under whose direction the act authorizing the compilation of the roster of the enlisted men of the confederate and union armies is being undertaken, reports the practical completion of the union side, but owing to the incompleteness of the collection of confederate records, the work on this branch of the subject has necessarily been delayed. The general states that efforts made to obtain the loans of au- thentic confederate records from states, historical societies and individuals has re- suited in material additions to the col lection. He says:
 Many original records have been loaned to the department. Those records were copied and the originals were re- turned promptly to the persons who loaned them. The confederate records loaned during the past fiscal year inc1ud- ed 140 rolls of Missouri organizations, and 46 rolls of North Carolina organizations But notwithstanding the considerable number of additions to the collections of confederate records made in this way, llle1S SOiACIlAOn l5 Sllll ldI AIOlu cOHplSlS, and 1t Is hoped that it may be possible to make it much more nearly complete by obtaining further loans of authentic records.
 "The method of compiling the confed- crate service records is the same as that previously applied to records of union volunteers. The progress made in the reproduction of those records up to June 30, 1907, was shown in the last annual report. Since that date, the records Of Missouri troops were reproduced, and considerable progress was made in repro ducing those of North Carolina and Tennessee regiments. In addition to this. considerable progress was made in the york of compiling the union records of confederate prisoners of war.
 "In this connection, it is thought pro- per again to invite attention to the fact that the union records of confederate

polling booth, the investigators re- ceived no aid from them In seeking to fasten responsibility for the conditions which prevailed.
 Referring to the fact that Frank J.. Loesch, the special states attorney who appeared to conduct the investigation, had been compelled by injunction to per form hls public duty without compensa- tion, even drawing on his own purse for ! necessary expenses in one instance the report says:
 we denounce the men who have thrust on the county the shame of fore ing MT. Loesch to perform his public duty without the compensation to which he is entitled and which, thus far he has ably earned and we denounce the measures by which these men have achieved this ignobe end and we espe- cially condemn the recent disgraceful conduct of the superintendent of public service which deprived MT. Loeseh of re- imbursement of funds for emergency and other expenses to the amount of s5i1. which with generoscity and a high sense of duty he advanced from his private purse"
 Continuing the report says: ''F'ron the facts coming to our con- sideration we express serious doubt whether there has been any honest gen. eral or city election in Chicago for years past
 we rgret that in our opinion much of the said fraudulent voting was done !n pursuance of general schemes of corrup- ton. the nature, character and extent of which we had not the time to fully de- velop.
 "The attitude of the police,' the re- port continues, twas one of giving neg atiye aid to such frauds by seeing and hearing nothing that was to the preju- dice of their patrons. however well 1t may have been seen and heard by others no better situated than the policeman at the polls"

DECLARES THAT
 WOMAN'S PLA CE IS IN HOHE|

Chicago, December 1.-The ballots of men long residents of other cities. the ballots of temporary absentees, the bal lots of the insane and even of the dead, were cast in the primary election of last August in Chicago.
 "Repeaters" voted in platoons, with the eonnivance of willingly unseeing judges and clerks of election, and fraud, rampant to an extent hitherto unknown in city never famous for the purity of it's political atmosphere, rendered the resultant party nomina- tions morally worthless
 This and other startling allegations were made today in the report of the special grand jury, which after several weeks of delving into charges growing out of Chicago's first primary and re- turning 61 indictments against two scores or more of politicians and others adjourned.
 The investigation, owing to physical limitations, merely scratched the sur face Of the situation. according to the report and doubt is expressed that there has been an honest city or gen. eral election in Chicago In years The finding of the inquisitorial body char acterize the primary election as dis grace to the city. Voting machines are urgently advised as a step in a reme- dial line and a wider application of civil service.
 It is stated that while the jury can not affirm that no frauds were perpe- trated by civil service employees, sig nifcant that the inquisitors found none such. On the other hand, the report remarks the fact that although the police were in the vicinity of every

LAKES -TO-GULF
 DEEP WATERWAY

New Orleans, December 4.-That an in- land waterway extending from the Mis- sissippi river to the Rio Grande would not only benefit Louisiana and Texas but the whole Mississippi valley, was the sentiment of several hundred delegates gathered here today at the fourth an- nual convention of the Interstate Water ways league It was argued that with the lakes to- gulf deep waterway pro- ject perfected the completion of the TeXas-Louisara waterway would permit & large ship to be loaded at Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans or Gal weston and unloaded in Mexico without even being subjected to the dangers of the high seas.
 The support of Texas and Louisiana in carving out the scheme was pledged at todays session when several addresses were delivered by pi eminent men of Gal weston, Houston, New Orleans and other Texas and Louisiana cities.
 Lieutenant Governor c. B. Davidson of Texas said it was estimated that tho work would cost s4,000, 900.
 He said the large portion of the coun- try which would be benefited should in sure the success of the scheme.
 The gulf coast of Texas and Louisiana is marked by innumerable lakes, bayous and rivers, already navigable, so the work of completing an inland waterway from the Mississippi to the Rio Grande will simply consist of connecting these waters by canals.
 It has been estimated that the work will cost between a4,o0o,0o0 and s6 GOO, 900, giving a channel with minimum depth of six feet It Is the sense of the con- ventlon, however, that once a complete waterway Is formed the work of open ing the way for further appropriations will have been done and the deepening of tho channel until 1t will permit large vessels to make the trip all inland all the way from Chicago to Brownsville will follow.

The state placed a number of witnesses on the stand during the afternoon to corroborate the testi- mony of Mrs. Rice and to fix the time of Dr. Rustin's movements and those of Davis during the evening preceding the death of the former The exhibits offer ed in evidence formed another portion of the days proceedings, after which the state rested.

Judge Sears an nounced that the usual Saturday after noon recess would not be taken tomorrow.

prisoners afford much information con- corning the service of many men whose names, unless those records were com piled, would not appear in the roster, because the records of the organizations to which they belonged are missing, and that the reproduction of the records of any one state will not be complete until all of the union records of confederate prisoners of war have been reproduced.

 Missouri, MT.

Since she has had secretaries of the interior be- fore the cabinet position might as well be that this time.
