Venezuela.

Venezuela is unrepresented at
Washington and the United States at
Caracas. If there are any American
matters there which need looking
after the Brazilian legation will at
tend to them. Probably there will be
me. Under existing circumstances
few Americans will make invest
ments in Venezuela or visit the coun-
try for business or pleasure. There
assuredly will be no attempts on
the part of Americans or Europeans
TO get grants or concessions from
,he Venezuelan government. Elk
perience has proved that nothing
can be made out OF them.
The suspension OF diplomatic in
tercourse may last some time. The
question of what shall be done with
Venezuela was submitted to the Sen
ate committee on foreign affairs at
the last session, but the committee
either saw no necessity for immed-
late action or did not know just
what to recomm nd. 1t is doubtful
whether it will reach conclusion
at the short session. In that event
the matter will be left to the next
congress and next administration.
1t will keep. The only persons
who take lively interest in the af-
fair are the various American claim
ants whose grievances have been
stated often during the last few
years. The justice of their claims
has not been SO manifest as to pro-
woke popular demand that some
thing be done 10 enezuela, either in
the way OF an exclusion of its pro-
ducts from American markets or in
that OF a naval demonstration.
Unquestionably Venezuela ought
to consent to the arbitration of some
OF the claims. Fair tribunals might
award the claimants small damages,
but the United States will lose no
prestiege in South America by being
slow and deliberate in its dealings
with Venezuela. The South Ameri-
cans have seen the American fleet.
They have learned what the United
States could do to Venezuela If it
choose. The waiting policy of the
United States will be proof to them
of its reluctance to resort to harsh
measures against a South American
state, even when it has acted in such
manner as to justify their use

MINERS IN SESSION.
Sixteenth Annual Session of the Wes-
tern Federation.

tern Federation.
Denver, Colo, July 13.-The open
ing session of the sixteenth annual
convention of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners was held here today
The meeting was devoted to appoint
ing a committee on credentials and
two short addresses, one by George
HALEY. president of the Colorado
State Federation of Labor, and the
other by w. A. Burns, member of
the miners union at Virginia, Neva-
da. Both men declared that the two
organizations in the west should
work in harmony, if not together.
1t is stated by those in authority
that the two addresses are but the
beginning of a movement looking
toward complete amalgamation. 1t
was announced that the Utah Of
ficials conference would be held with
view to amalgamating the coal and
metalliferous miners. Should such
a union be effected, the organization
will probably be known as the
United Mine Workers of America.
The credentials committee will
recommend that William D. Hay
wood, former secretary and treas
urer, be given seat in the conven-
ton with complete delegate auth
ority, although he is not a delegate
or an officer.

another meat food animal to the
list that people depend upon for
spstenance, and while it will not be
cheap enough for some time to come
to permit its general consumption,
it may in time be so. The question

his essential foods at a little lower

Saw Mill Wanted.

Belle Fourche, July 10.-Through
the successful floating of 5000 logs
$50 miles along the Belle Fourche
river from the Bear Lodge country,
the need Of large sawmill here has
been amply demonstrated. Here
tofore it has been considered nearly
impossible to float the logs from
that distance and the hauling from
the timber regions was both tedious
and expensive. The comparatively
slight cost of transporting the logs
by the new method has induced some
local capitalists to inquire into the
sawmill possibility and 1t is now
more than likely that big one will
be erected here shortly.
