Sixty Thousand Going in to Cultivate the Country. United States Consul Plumacher at Mara- caibo reports te the State Department that the Venezuelan government has made a ecntract with Dr. Manuel M. Galavis to bring 60,000 immigrants into Venezuela. According, to his report the immigrants to be established in colonies (Swiss, American, Spanish, Irish, Italian and Hollanders), must be introduced and settled on public lands within the next seven years; they must be over ten and under sixty years of age, and agriculturists. Dr. Galavis must furnish clothing and medicines to the im. migrants for at least six months, beginning with the day they start to avork, shelter for one year and implements, animals, seeds, etc., necessary for the cultivation of the ceded territory for the first two years. The government cedes to the doctor six hectares (14.83 acres) of land for each im- migrant whom he brings to the country, and three hectares (7.4 acres) for each im- migrant to the doctor as indemnification for the expenses incurred in the transport of the immigrants. Should the necessity arise for the building of railways for the transportation of the products of such colonies as may be founded by Dr. Galavis, he or his cessionists will get the prefer- ence for this construction. All materials necessary for the exploitations of the ter- ritory (tools, machinery, timbers, seeds, rails, etc.), construction of buildings for the colonists, storehouses and for the con- struction and maintenance of railways, will be entered free of duty. ° Should the enterprise require the estab- Ushment of steamship lines, the govern- ment concedes free navigation on the lakes and rivers and on the adjacent seas. In the different colonies to be formed, the colonists of any one nationality must not predominate in number over others. The Members of each colony will have the right to elect from among themselves their Police authorities. Each colony of 5,000 members shall have one school, to be main- tained, for the first three years, by Dr. Galavis. Immigrants must bind them- selves not to leave the country within five years after their arrival without reimburs- ing the government for the outlay ex- pended by-their introduction thereinto. All employes of Dr. Galavis will be exempt from military service. The enterprise is exempt from national taxes, etc. ————~—_______ Private Miller’s Sentence, Private Luther Miller, Battery G, 4th Artillery, having been tried by a general court martial convened at Washington barracks, and found guilty gf conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, was sentenced to forfeit to the United States $10 of his pay, and to be confined “at hard labor, under charge of the guard, for thirty days. : The sentence has been approved and will be executed at the Washington barracks. —__o._ Tests at Indian Head.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE RULES An Interesting Contest at Basket Ball. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The second session of the midwinter meeting of the national executive commit- tee of the American Whist League opened at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at the Iro- quois, Buffalo. The members of the com- mittee are evidently there for business, and they are attending to their duties with an assiduity that leaves little time for recrea- tion and mimimizes the labors of the enter- tainment committee. Buffalo whist players would gladly arrange an elaborate pro- gram, and, in fact, they have entertained their guests as hospitably as their brief so- journ and the exactions of protracted bus! ness sessions have permitted. The entertainment committee, of which William Hudson of Buffalo, himself a mem- ber of the national executive committee, is the active head, arranged an additional program Tuesday, so as not to conflict with the demands upon the time of the visitors. At Monday’s session the first formal bust- ness was taken up. It was decided that the Sth whist congress should be held at the Hotet Vendome, Boston, during the week beginning July 11. The chief business censidered was the report of the tourna- ment committee on schedules of play and rules governing contests. After a some- what animated but thoroughly amicable discussion the report was adopted. Whist men have felt for some time that the exist- ing rules might be modified to advantage, and it is the opinion of the executive com- mittee that the changes agreed upon will be a decided improvement. The new rules had been well considered by the subcom- mittee, and went through without material amendment. No change of vital import- ance is effected, except that a trial will be made in the Minneapolis trophy contest of scoring each deal as a match won or lost, the result to be determined by the number of matches thus won. This is an entire in- novation and will be watched with interest all over the world. Another innovation, which is of less consequence, yet which no doubt will be appreciated by members of the league, provides for the issuing of membership cards to facilitate acquaint- ance between traveling leaguers and local members of clubs. At the morning session President Mandell of Detroit appointed a eommittee to in- struct league umpires in the new rules. The afternoon was entirely consumed by a Beneral discussion of the interests of the league and by routine business. The busi- ness session is likely to be the shortest on record, and the gathering of so many prominent experts all over the country will furnish the local whisters an opportunity for which they have long been anxious, and, judging from the scores made, they have acquitted themselves very creditably. Noted Whisters Present. Among the visitors will be noticed Whe- lan of Baltimore, Sampson of the Roches- ter Post-Express, Ingersoll of Rochester, Brock of New Jersey, Henriques of New York, Neff of Philadelphia, Parker and Mandell of Toledo, Tenney of California, who never misses'a meeting, annual or semi-annual; Colonel Buffington, formerly of New York, now of Jackson, Mich., the scene of the first contest, in honor of Col. Buffington, February 5, between the two western giants, Toledo and Chicago, Mit- chell, Walker, Brown and a host of other whist celebrities, whose names and scores are given below, in the compass contest, which took place Monday night.

Mrs. Andrews visited Brooklyn last week in the interest of the Woman’s League. She was royally entertained by the women whist players, a dinner being given in honor of her visit. The women of the Bal- timore Whist Club will have a contest eight players a side, with the men, tonigh Charlie Watson of New York, who was a guest of the C. Bi. C. last night, will act as referee. Capital Bi. Clab Practice. The C. Bi. C. had a Very interesting team practice match last night. Three teams of four participated. There were some big swings on some of the hands played. The club claims that it has precedence over Walbrook, and that if the A. W. L. trophy is not handed over to the committee at Buffalo, it is ready to send a team to Bos- ton. Local whisters are glad to know that there is such a revival in the interest of the game, as this club can send a team second to none in the country, and will be in evidence at the Hotel Vendome, Boston, the 11th of July. Tom Borden is with the club again, and has given whist quite a becom. He has represented the team sev- eral times in matches, and is a star play- er, and with Wooten, Low and Barrick, will make a strong aggregation. BASKET BALL. Cemtury Cycle Club Defeated by the Eastern A. C. The Century Cycle Club was defeatea in a hard-fought game with the Eastern Athletic Club last night at the Light In- fantry armory, the score being 6 to 2.

The Cornell Athletic Council is perfect- ing arrangements for the regatta next June. It is said that Harvard, Pennsyl- vania, Columbia, the. Naval Cadet crew of Annapolis and the crew of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin have signified their willingness to enter the race. The course and the general details are to be decided on at a later day. It is probable that the race will be rowed on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. The report regarding the Naval Academy crew ts evidently incorrect, for a race has been arranged for May 20 between the Annapolis eight and the University of Pennsylvania eight on the Severn at An- rapolis. ts for Queer Wheelmen Smoker. The Queer Wheelmen “smoker” takes Place tonight at the club rooms, 822 20th street. It promises to be one of the finest ever given by a local bicycle club. An ex- cellent program has been arranged, com- prising music, dancing, recitations, etc. Admission will be by card only, and, in ac- cordance with the custom of the club, the cards are prepared in “queer” style and are very attractive. Invitations have been sent out to the local bicycle clubs. Brennan Gets a Job as Umpire. ST.

BROOKLAND CITIZENS. Business Transacted at the First Meeting of the Association. The first regular meeting of the Citizens’ Association of Brookland was held last night in the town hall. From the large in- crease in membership and attendance, and the general enthusiasm which prevailed, it is believed that the association will become an important factor in the improvement and future development of Brookland. President Sherwood called the meeting to order, and after some minor matters were Gispatched, Mr. Armstrong, chairman of the committee on consiitution and by-laws, reported the result of his committee's work. After some earnest discussion the constitution and by-laws were adopted, with one or two amendments. The presi- dent then announced the following commit- eS: In addition to the nine members of the executive committee already mentioned— F. R. MeCormick, Dr. F. T. Howe, Rev. R. R. West, J. H.

The meeting adjourned until the first Friday in February. ————— Lodge and Temple Fraternize. Friendship Lodge of Good Templars re- ceived a visit Monday evening from Un- dine Juvenile Temple, Mrs. Emma F. Bishop, superintendent, in charge.. Four of the sister lodges and the lodge at Ma- nassas were represented also by delega- tions. At the close of lodge routine the officers of the temple took the chairs and exemplified the temple work, including in- itiation. Seven adults took the temple de- gree at the hands of the little people, and listened to the regular illustrated lecture given by the superintendent.

The interstate joint convention of bitumi- hous coal operators and miners, which has been ia session im Chicago for several days, ended iis work at 10 o'clock last night. Th: miners are jubilant over the result of the ten days’ session, for it means to nearly two hundred thousand soft coal miners an advance of 10 cents a ton in wages and a uniform day of eight hours at uniform day wages; and the operators congratulated one another on a victory over the mselyes. The states represented in the convention Were West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, The convention complet2d its work by naming a scale committee, to consist of the rational executive board of the United Mire Workers, the district presidents and secretari2s and two operators from each state interested, to tabulate the scale and complete arrangements for putting it into effect April 1. It was determined that hersafter the miners and operators will meet in January of each year to fix the scale for the twelve mcnihs beginning April 1. Pittsburg, Pa., was selected for th2 next annual joint con- vention, which will be held on the third Tuesday of January, 1809. President M. D. Ratchford of the United Mine Workers expressed himself as highly satisfied with the work of the convention. He said: “I consider the establishment of an eight-hour day for the miners one of the greatest labor victories of the century. It is, in my estimation, of far more im- portance than th2 10 cents a ton advance. Col. W. P. Rend of Chicago, who owns and operates coal mines in Pennsylvanii Ohio and Indiana, expressed himself highly pleased with the result of the gath- ering. Others express2d similar views. a AT NEWPORT NEWS. ention DRY DOCK Colis P. mtington W Shortly Build a Big One There. In a receat interview regarding his in- tention to build a dry dock at Newport News, C. P. Huntington said: “I will shortly build the largest and best-equipped dry dock in American waters—a basin in which any ship in the United States ravy or engaged in the merchant marine can be safely docked and overhauled. This dock will be built at one corner of the shipyard, and not on the half mile of water front prop- erty recently acquired. There is urgent need of a dry dock in which the vessels of the navy can be repaired at short no- tice, and it is for such business that 1 propose to build.” St. Louis Bridge Plans. General Wilson, chief of engineers, has sppointed a board of engineer officers, con- sisting of Lieutenant Colonel Amos Stick- ney, Major T. H. Handbury, Capt. F. V. Abbot and Lieut.
