O'REARY and People Dread Arrival Warships. London, Dec. 1.—Private advices received in London from Odessa tell of a most interesting situation there ‘While there is no disturbance at i Odessa the inhabitants are in dread ol the arrival of one or more of the mu tinous warships from Sebastopol and are preparing to flee on sighting these vessels, As to the actual happenings i at Sebastopol the people of Odessa are ignorant, but rumors of all kinds are afloat. The English employes of the British telegraph office remain at their keys, but as there is no way of de livering the telegrams received and people are not permitted to approach the telegraph office to send dispatches the operators have nothing to do. Al) the Russian employes of the post office, in which the British teleg raphers are accommodated, are on strike and the building is surrounded by troops. The foreign operators pass between the office and their homes unmolested, but the Russian admin istration declines to receive or de liver telegrams.

DUTCH TO MOVE NEXT THE NETHERLANDS HAS GRIEV- ANCE OF LONG STANDING AGAINST VENEZUELA. PRESS INSISTS ON VIGOROUS ACTION MATTER LIKELY TO BE TAKEN UP WHEN FRENCH DISPUTE HAS BEEN SETTLED. Washington, Dec. 1.—The acute situation between France and Ven-| ezuela has for some time past dis- tracted attention from the quarrels which the Venezuelan government al- ready had on hand’#with her neigh-| bors. Some diplomats here familiar with the conditions in that part of South America feel that in the near| future other trouble may be expected and that some day the trouble be- tween The Netherlands and Venezuela ' may be renewed, possibly leading to an outbreak between the two coun- tries. The chief complaint of The Netherlands government is the way in, which the Venezuelan customshouse officers exercise their right of search. It is alleged that many times without due cause the customs officers bring | Dutch ships to their ports and keep the crew practically prisoners. Venezuelan government on has made several complaints about the smuggling trade which is kept on from Curacao into the harbors of Ven- ezunela and which consists chiefly of firearms. For the last thirty years there has bheen a law in Curacao for- bidding the exportation of firearms, but the large colony of Vene political exiles, who come to the isl- and to be near their President Castro, make it extremely difficult for the Dutch authorities to enforce that law. i'rom both sides protests have been o | made, but it is charged the Venezu- Men’s Long Beltzd Overcoats $12.00. $15.00, $18 $22.50, and $25.

LOPPING OFF MANY HEADS. Secretary Root to Improve Diplomatic and Consular Service. Chicago, Dec. 1.—A the Tribune from Washington s: Secretary Root’s knife is busily en- gaged in lopping off the heads of diplo- matic officers and consuls who are not; It is estimated that at least | efficient. 100 persons, who for various reasons are unfit to represent the United States abroad, will be invited to tender their resignations. Bright American young men will be named in their stead. The foreign affairs of the govern- ment have atiained such a tremendous importance and proportion that a small army is required to give them atten- tion. The diplomatic service is grow- ing larger cvery year. ser and in some cases of result of the enormous ican commerce and th nishing our exporters ansion, as a ent of Amer- need of fur- vith information as to markets abroad and methods ot | business of European aad Asiatic com- petitors, which abuses may be eradicated, but the president and secretary of state by the character of the appointments they may make, are in a position to bring the 'two services to a high state of efficiency. CHINA WILL RETALIATE. Editor of San Francisco Chinege Daily Sounds Alarm. Chicago, Dec. 1.—The yellow peril i alarm was sounded by a Chinaman, Ng Poon Chew, managing editor of the Chung Sai Yta Po, a Chinese daily paper of San Francisco, in a talk at the University of Chicago on the Chi- ! nese exclusion law. After rehearsing the evils of the ex- clusion law he concluded as follows: “All these indignities heaped on China will come back. China is grow- ing stronger every day. We are pre- paring to fight. In ten years we will have 800,000 well armed men, well trained, with every latest munition of war.” All Three Fatally Hurt.

Paris, Dec. 1.—The correspondent of the Associated Press located An- drew Hamilton, who was confidential legislative representative of the in- surance companies at Albany, and had half ‘an hour’s talk with him concern. ing his plans and his answer to the! requests of the Armstrong insurance | investigating committee that he give orders to his agents in New York ta suriender his papers to the commit. tee and that he go to New York to tes- “tify. | ‘When seen by the correspondent Mr. Hamilton was with one of his in- timate friends, who is familiar withI his affairs and who explained some wish be publicly discussed at this time.

United States Senator Thomas M. Pat-\ terson, owner of the News and Times, shook his finger at the chief justic and declared in the most positive termg that the articles alleged to be contemptuous were true in their en- tirety. { Chief Justice Gabbert sentenced; Senator Fatterson to pay a fine of: $1,000 and to stand committed until: it was paid. Senator Patterson’s coun-| sel, however, took an appeal to the. . United States supreme court and the fine was suspended six months in or - der to permit an appeal. The contempt cases grew out of the recent election decision, when the ! supfeme court decided that the cmmty{ | , oflicers chosen at last fall’s election were not entitled to seats. The court| then ordered that the Republican can- ' didates who had received the next highest number of votes be seated. Inj the News Senator Patterson printed a , cartoon showing Chief Justice Gabbert . as lord high executioner beheading Sheriff Hamilton Armstrong. Edi- torials in both Times and News were | also alleged to be contemptuous. ' M'GOVERN TO MEET NELSON.: Six-Round Bout to Occur in Philadel- ! phia in January.

Upper Lakes, which brought death ta eleven and wrought untold havoc among the sailing craft, has subsided! and the work of rescue and relief tal the numerous vessels left stranded on the rocks is being carried on with the utmost vigor. NUMBER STILL List of Wrecked Steamers May Not Be Complete. Duluth, Dec. 1.—The net results of the great storm as far as known are the total wrecks of the steamers Ma- taafa, Crescent City, Edenborn and Lafayette, the sinking of the Elwood in Duluth harbor, the stranding of the barge Manilla and the steamer W. B. England, the stranding of the Brans- ford at Isle Royale and two barges missing, the Madeira and Constitu- tion. A tug is now out searching for the Madeira, one of the Steel corporation boats not accounted for. She was in tow of the Edenborn, which is ashore at Split Rock, and is undoubtedly lost. The big steamer W. E. Corey is now the only Steel corporation boat unac- counted for. She was due at Two Harborsp at midnight Tuesday, which means that she must have been ex- posed to the storm of Tuesday.
