rules of procedure, but we don't ex-
pect any serious fight.~vThose opposed
to our plan will meet US half way l
am sure, and there will be a concill-
atory compromise
Governor Wilson was asked con-
corning the truth of the report that
March IS was to be the date on which
the extra session of congress would be
called.
Il have settled on no date yet" he
replied.

EVERYTHING IS LOST

TROUBLE MAKING VENEZUELAN N
WILL TAKE SHIP ACROSS
TO GERMANY.

New York, Jan. 2.-Cipriano Castro,
gagged passage today on the steamship
Amerika of the Hamburg American
line, sailing for Hamburg on Saturday
at S a. m.
No formal charge to warrant his
detention has been made against
Castro beyond the report of the sur
geon on the liner La Touraine, on
which Castro arrived, that his physical
condition made it advisable to keep
him at Ellis island pending further
medical examination. Before the de-
csion of the immigration authorities
was announced, Castro declared he was
willing to go back to Europe on his
own accord.
General Castro today denied that he
was seeking to stir up another revolu-
ton in Venezuela.
'It is impossible for me-" he said, 'to
regain my lost fortunes. There is no
reason to think that | want to stir
up trouble and no proof. This last
word | give to the American people:
While I return, | pray for the pros
perity of the grand people of the
United States"
Late in the afternoon General Cas-
tro received the newspaper men. He
said that he did not know whether he
would return to Paris.
No Truth in Report.
Il have no interest in Germany" he
said, 'and there is no truth in the
statement that | am going back to
Venezuela to head a revolution backed
by German interests. | do not think
the Germans make the money 50 easily
as to give it for such a purpose
The Venezuelan wore a skull cap of
black velvet trimmed with gold, and
gold embroidered cloth slippers.
Asked about the money and lands
he had lost in Venezuela, he replied
"All of my money was taken by

Another Feature.

One of the features of the plan,
however if Colonel Goethals is not
put at the head of the zone govern
men. is to place all employees on the
canal work under civil service by the
presidents executive order. A few
employees on the isthmuS are already
in the civil service, but the great
number of canal workers have been
appointed by the isthmian canal COM
mission.
The attitude Of the democratic SEN
ators is that the present. canal COM
mission should not be displaced and
disorganiZed until the canal is COM
pletcd.
The democrats further take the po-
stiOn that the services of all the
members of the commission still are
needed and they contend that to pro-
vide for Colonel Goethals and sum
marly dismiss all other commission
ers would be an unfair discrimination,
Generally they express admiration for
Colonel Goethals, and Senator Smith
went SO far as to say that he would
favor conlerring all possible military
hOnOrS upon hlln.
