"WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Nothing has yeot occurred In Venezuela to Induce the State department to ¢hange the policy of noninterference which it has adopted. The president is showing particular in- terest in the gituation and this morping he called Secreta Hay away from his regular Thursday diplomatic reception to confer respecting Venesuela. The chalrmeén of the two conmgressional committees charged with the care of for- elgn affgirs also called at the State de- partment durlpg the forenoon to talk over suelan developments. tor | Cullom, chairman of the com- ‘mittee on froelgn relations, expressed re- gret that England and Germany had de- stroyed, by breaking up or sinking, the vessels of the Venesuelan war fleet. “They might better have been kept for toy houses. As against a formidable squadron, they were not fit for anything else,” he remarked. He belleved that If it were. considered necessdry to seize the vessels they could have been kept intact until after the pres- rent trouble was settled and then restored #0 Venezuela. ! Benator Cullom expressed the opinion that the United States would not become involved seriously in the present disturb- ances, as he was satisfied that neither Great Britain nor Germany had any intention of acquiring Venezuelan territory. The State departmenf 18 so far well pleased with the énergetic yet discreet manner in whieh Mr. Bowen has acted There have been no orders issued to any navel ves to vepait to Venesue- lan ports, it is pot intended to issue them, though there is, of course, always danger that the attempt of an American vessel to pass the ‘‘peaceful blockade'' may in the end call for the appearance of American men-of-war upon the scene. America Preserves Fri lom. ' It 1s an futeresting fact that up to thi point the department has not undertaken to recognize the limitations that might be placed on American commerce in case of ‘a Venezuelan blockade, - The German govern- ment, no later than last y sought to se- cure understanding on this point, but the State department simply recorded the views of that government without either accepting or rejecting them. The matter came up in December, 1901, when Germany was copsldering coercive measures against Venezuela and addressed the following communication to the Etate department : In case the German government should be i megsures should be applied. ‘The most important measure of co- ‘ercion, that is the bjockade of Venezuelan harbors, would have @ be carried lhrou,h without @ declaratlon'of war preceding It. The blockade would therefore be a peace blockade. Such u blockade would ‘touch ikewise the ehips of neutral powers. inas- much ay such ships, although a comisea- tion of them would not have to be consid. ered, would have to be turned away and prohibited until the blockade was raised. Acting under cable Instructions 'from their respective governmehts, Herr .von Holleben, the German ambassador, and ‘Sir Michael Herbert, the British ambassaddr, today presented to the State department official thankg for the services retdered by Bowen, securing the release of German and British subjects afrested by President Castro. Both diplomats discussed the Venesuelan situation with Becretary Hay, who offered 10 keep embassies informed of any news from Caraces. This information Is being cabled at once to the governments at Ber- lin and Londen, who, it is underestood, are securing the bulk of their Venezuelan in- formation from Washington.

STATEHOOD BILL GOES OVER TO MONDAY Rumors Have it that Plans Are Lald to Kill Measure by Artful Ob- atruetion, Thus Allow Time to Turn Vote: WASHINGT'ON, Dec. 11.—The senate late this afternoon pagsed, with several amend- ments, the bill fixing the compensation of the anthracite coal strike commission, and it fow goes to conference. The sentiment of the senate was strongly In favor of al- lowing members of the commission Who are not {n the civil or military wervice a lump sum for their service, and after considera ble debate $4,000 was settled upon as the proper amount, thus taking the matter out of the hands of the president. Several other amendments were adopted fixing the: expenses of commissioners and the mssistant recorders at $10 per day in- stead of $15, and leaving the question of salary for the assistant recorders and em- ployes to the commission. The pame of the commission was changed to “anthracite coal strike arbitration.” An amendment offered by Mr. Danlel (Va.) to prohibit officers of the government from serving on commissions or performing dutfes other than called for by law pro- voked a lengthy diecussion, but was finally withdrawn. ‘Wil Kill Bill By Del At 2 o'clock the statehood bill came up and there was a brisk exchange between Mr. Quay (Pa.), who favors the omnibus bill, and senators who oppose it. Mr. Quay and Mr, Bate (Tenn.) sald they were ready to vote. Mr. Beveridge (Ind.), Mr. Lodge (Mass.), Mr. Hale (Me.) and others pro- tested against pressing the bill 8o soon after it was reported and it went over un- til Monday. The alr was full of rumors concerning the statehood bill, which, it was sald, was to be defeated, not by votes, but by ob- struction; the vote being postponed from day to day‘until one by ome all the votes for the omnibus bill were pioked off, Mr. Quay wanted it understood that the bill would retain its place as the unfinished business, and President Frye said:' “The bill remains the unfinished business if it is in the power of the chair to keep {t there, and the chair thinks it 18." The senate then resumed comsideFation of .the coal strike commission bill. Mr. Daniel (Va.) precipitated a lively de- ‘bate by offering an amendment prohiibiting the further assignment of officers and em- ployes of the United States or' senators and representatives on ’any commission. He did not criticise the president; on the contrary, he commended him, but he ar- gued that there is an abundance of intel- lect, learning and wisdom among the peo- ple of the country outside of the govein- ment service which could be drawn upon. Mr. Platt (Conn.) expressed the opinlon that it would be unwise to tle the hands of the president so that in s great emer- gency he could not select the one man deemed most fit for appointment and in- quired of Mr. Tillman (S. C.), who fa vored the Daniel amendment, if it were not probable, if the amendment was adopted, that Judge Gray would withdraw from the commission. urely,” was Mr. Tillman's response. Mr. Spooner (Wis.) sald it was not'a new thing for judges to'be arbifrators, nor 1s it conmstdered injudicfal. Mr. Allison and Mr. Hoar appealéd to Mr. Danfel to withdféw his amendment with the view of offering it at some other | time when it could have better attention. Mr. Donlel finally consented and the bill | passed. At 5 o'clock the senate held a brief ex- ecutive session and adjourned.

N SENATOR, DRYDEN. ON TRUSTS Considers it Wise to Move wiy in WASHINGTON, Déc. 11.—The features of President Roosevelt's measage to congress which gave rise to the most comment were those relating to trusts and the tariff. In connection with the conservative tone .of president’s meskage, the comments of Senator Jobn F. Dryden of New Jersey on this gubject are af jmportance om account of his large experience in corporation mat- ters, and because he 18 a represéntative in the senate of the wtate n ‘which most of the great corporations have been chartered. “The subject Is ‘ope 0f sych magnitude, one which dcton By congress may #0 mdny interests that -are vital to the prosperity of the country,” Mr. Dryden safd, *‘that’ xothing should be done without the most careful conwideération. “In the’ first place, It 1d be aseer- tatned what the evils in the present system are, and, in the second place, it should be ascertained what are the remedies for the evils. 1 think that this would be much limits the period for taking testimony in | remedy and then try to find some evil that the “wmedy could be made to fit. The shortmess of the present session will probably make it impossible to do much. It iswvery eaby:to genesslize, and there has been & great deal of gemeraliza tion as to the évils of large corporations and as to the remedies which should be ap- plied, but there is not yet any clearly d fined and generally accepted opinion as to the nature of the evils or of the remedies to be applied “If we study the question historically from the time when our ancestors emerged from a state of feudalism, I think we will find that we have little to complain of in | present conditions. No legisttor of the { present day would think for a moment of | vouing for charters granting exelusive and | monopolistic privileges such as were form- {erly granted, not only by the English | Parljament, but by our own congress and by our state legislatures. “No such monopolies are granted now. The charter of the United States Steel Cor- poration gives it no exclusise right. It has competitors and will continue to have them. Its stock is sold in the open market, and any man with $100 or $500 or $1,000 can buy it and become a partner in its profits. I {40 not know that it is an evil it a great corporation is able te manufacture so economically as to be able to sell cheaply to our own people and to forelgn natiol ““We are now in a dtate of transition, and it 18 inevitable that the changes going on should hurt some individuals, just as the transition from stage coaches to rallroads hurt individuals, but we should be careful lest in trying to remedy some evil which has not yet been clearly defined we may injure the industries of the country and those depéndent upon them as investors and ‘WAge earners. Favor Army Retirement BillL WASHINGTON, Déc. 11.—The senate com- mittee on military affairs practically agreed today to report a general army retirement bill.

Mr. Hinshaw had a talk to-day with Chairman Sherman of tne Indlan affairs committee of the house in relation to the payment of money. with accrued interest to the Otoe Indians. Mr. Sherman stated that he thought the time was not propitious for such a payment at this time, in view of the tnability of the Indtans to take care of their own property, and suggested -that the subject be delayed.

BENEFIT FOR WISE HOSPITAL About One Thousand Dollars Realized From Ball at Metropolitan Club, The hard work of a worthy committee ana the strength of a deserving cause were the chief factors in makling the charity ball at the Metropolitan club last evening one of the most splendid successes of the season, both soctally and financially. A8 a result of the evening's entertainment the treasury of Wise Memorial hospital is richer by about $1,000. Two hundred and fifty tickets were sold at §5 each.

Mayor Moores occupled | the head of the table and, introduced by | 1sidore Ziegler, master: of ceremonles, he gave a short toast on the Wise Memorial hospital. Of falth, hope and charity, he reminded the audience, the greatest was eharity, and 1n the presence of such a large mber at the ball he saw a brilllant fu. ture for the institution towdrd which each of those present. had glven $5. Because of his personal acqualntance with Rabbi Wise, he felt a deeper interest in the work of the hospital and he had watched its growth with an immense satistaction.
