dispatch from Kingstown outlining
the story told by an escaped Venezu-
elan prisoner, to the effect that the
crew of the lost Proylncetown Whaler
Carrie d. Knowles We're incarcerated
in Il prison in Venezuela, was natur-
ally OF intense interest here. AS the
entire crew of the Knowles were ma
tiyes Of the West Indies there are
few means here of verifying Payne's
statements. The identity of Payne is
not clear, but 1t may be that he is no
other than Elisha Payne, a seaman
Of Provincetown, who disappeared
from this port previous TO or about
the time of sailing Of the Knowles.
So far as known here Payne was not
a member of the crew when II sailed.

VESSEL SEIZED
BY VENEZUELA
American Sailor Tells Most
Astounding Story.
SHIP LONG THOUGHT LOST

Man Who Recently Escaped From
South American Prison Says That
Whaler Carrie D, Knowles While
In Distress Five Years Ago Was
Captured Near Unknown Port and
Grew Thrown Into Jall--Epglish
Authorities at Kingston Investigate.
Kingstown, st. Vincent, b. w. L.
May Cit may be that Captain Col
lin Stephenson aud the crew of the
American whaling ship Carrie ID.
Knowles, long since thought to have
been lost at sea, are still alive in a
Venezuelan prison An American sea
man, who gives the name of Payne,
an escaped prisoner from Venezuela,
has made his way to Kingstown,
where he laid before the authorities
an astounding story of the seizure of
the Carrie ID. Knowles at n Venezu-
elan port, where she arrived FIVE
years ago in distress, and the incar-
ceration by the Vene2uelans of the
captain and his men.
So convinced are the authorities
here that there is truth in Payne's
story that they have already taken
steps looking to q speedy and thor
ough investigation of the case.
On Jan. q, 1904, the Carrie ID.
Knowles sailed from Proyincetown,
Mass, on whaling voyage. Her
captain was Collin Stephenson and
her first mate II. A. Martin. In addi-
ton she carried a crew of about
dozen men. These are the names as
given by Payne to the authorities
here and as far as he could remem.
Der the Mares of the members Of the
crew: Wallace, Warner, Robertson,
HAZEL, Sam, Davis, Pierre, Grant,
Lewis and John. Payne asserts posi-
lively that all of these men are at the
present time confined In Venezuelan
prison.
The vessel was supposed to have
been lost in West Indian storm with
ali hands. Some of the men belonged
in st. Vincent, and after all hope was
given up OF their return their rela-
tives put on mourning and the local
Insurance company eventually paid
the claims against II, on the assump-
tion that the sailors were dead.
The story Payne told to the police
caused great excitement, not only be-
cause of sthe seriousness of the
charges against the Venezuelan au.
thorities, but because It added an.
other to the many tales which have
reached st. Vincent concerning the
high-handed methods adopted by the
Venezuelans under the administration
Of Castro. Payne declared that the
whaler had been disabled in storm
Off the Venezuelan coast and had
made port in distress. She was at
once seized and the captain and crew
were made prisoners and thrown into
jail He states that all the men are
alive, but are still closely confined.

Washington. May 6.-The tariff bill
was again taken up by the senate for
the consideration OF the committee
amendments that were passed over
upon the first reading of the bill after
It had been practically laid aside for
10 days, while senators have been
making speeches on the measure as
a whole. Small progress was made
In the consideration Of the measure,
but eight pages being considered be-
fore adjournment.
Senator Dolliver concluded his
speech on the cotton and wool sched.
ules of the Payne-Aldrich bill.
The tariff bill pending before the
senate, he said, was largely matter
of mathematics, and 1t could be un.
derstood by careful study. Recalling
that Mr.. Aldrich had said that 1t
would be shown to the senate that no
changes increasing the cotton rates
had been made by the senate commit.
tee on finance, Mr.. Dolliyer said If
that was correct statement he
would expect all OF the italics carry.
Ing senate amendments to be stricken
from the measure. The fact was, he
said, that the cotton rates were in
creased. He then read from a New
York newspaper, which, he added had
for twenty years been watchful of
the spiritual side Of the senator from
Massachusetts" (Mr. Lodgel, "A state
ment to the effect that Mr. Lodge had
said that, as reported from the com
mittee on finance, the cotton schedule
as amended by the senate committee
was Of great value to Massachusetts.
The same article, he said, also ap-
peared in a Boston paper.
Mr.. Dolliver said the time was COM
ing when the controversy over the
tariff would be transferred by law to
tribunal where II could be passed
on with more wisdom than n person
is liable to meet about the corridors
OF the Capitol"
Mr.. Dolliyer warned his colleagues
that IL this tariff should be put
through without amendment II would
cause an immediate countrywide de-
mand for another revision.
Statements were made by Senator
Aldrich, representing the finance com
mittee, and Senator Culberson, the
minority leader, analyZing the tariff
bill as It was reported to the senate
and comparing II, so far as increases
and reductions are concerned, with
the Dingley law.
Senator Culberson figured the a.
