' CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 18.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.) ~It s rumored here that Charybdls, a second class English crulser which was en- gaged in the bombarding of Puerto Cabello, lost one officer and several sailors in the engagement by shots fired from the Ven- | ezuelan fortress. The first report that the German man- of-war Vineta had been damaged by the fire from the fort 1s confirmed, but the in- | Juries are only slight. Herr Von Pllgrim-Baltazzl, German charge d'affairs, landed today at La Guayra and held a brief telephonic conversation with Mrs. Pilzrim-Baltazzl, who is lying! 1l in this city. He was afterward enter- tained by the prefect of La Guayra and re- turned on board a German cruiser. During the day, too, the British man-of- war purchased fresh. provisions from the Venezuelans at that port, Upon being questioned today with regard to the report that the Amglo-German ulti- matum had been accepted by Venezuela, President Castro became furlous with rage and said there was no truth in the report. Heo added: The acceptance of an ultimatum cannot be coupled with arbitration. Besiles, the rman ultimatum is not, properly an ultimatum. When asked if it were true that Venezuela ‘was taking diplomatic steps to arrange for arbitration, and that arrangements in th' connection were well advanced, Presiden Castro sald: \ The govergment of Venezuela does not propose to ““etermine on any steps while the proposition for arbitration legatlon of the United States was charged to present to Great Britain and Germany remajns unanswered At noon no answer on the subject of the proposed arbitration had been received from ‘Washington.

BERLIN, Dec. 18.—Aside from the finan- clal claims mentioned in fts ultimatum, Germany expects some torm of ap- logy from Venezucla for the diplomatic insults which the Forelgn office says are more grees than those of which Great Britain complains. The Foretgn office is n calling at- tentlon to the ‘susploi*ns in the United Htates lest Germany effect a landing in Venesucla, It says a refutation of such suspicions ought to be perceived in the slendor forces at the disposition of Ger- many, ‘There are scarcely 300 men who could be spered from the squadron, mot a sufficient number to ‘take La Guayra, let alone form an expeditisn Into the interlor. The officials of the Forelgn cMce say that the reply to Venezuclan’s arbitration pro- posals has not yet been gent. The Forelgn office is still exchanzing views on the sub- jeet with London. Although the foreign office dces rot mive the least hint of the cheracter of Germany's reply, It seems cer. tain that arbitraticn will not be accepted. alihough the refusal may be accompanied with fresh suggestions.

The cabinet met this afternoon to discuss the matter, but possibly nothing final will be arrived at until tomorrow. The question of a guaranty for the ful fillment of the decisions arrived at remains the great difficulty, in the government's view, in the way of the acceptance of arbl- tratinn. The onnounement that President Castro had entrusted Mr. Bowen with full powers to arrange a settlement was received at the Foreign office with much interest. The dispatch which contained this announce- ment was immediately taken to Lord Lans- downe and apparently conveyed to the Forelgn office officiale the first definite news that such actio’. had been taken.

Merchants to Refuse Sales and Men Who Dis charge Innocent Parties Con- tem Cowards. SCRANTON, P Dec. 18.—The strike commission listened today to further evi- | dence called on behalf of the nonunionists to show a relgn of terror during the mine workers' strike. About a score of wit- nesses told of boyestts, attacks by crowds of men, women and boys and an attempt to burn the house of g nonunion man. In most instances the offenders were alleged to be members of the miners' unfon. The miners objected frequently to the admission of hearsay evidence and some- times because of irrelevancy. The chairman, while explaining that the commission was not bound by strict rules of evidence, asked counsel to confine them- selves as far as possible to direct testi- mony. The commission wanted to know whether a relgn of terror existed and could not get that information if the strict rules of evidence were followed. “The coward who will go to the store- | keepers,” added the judge, “and tell them not to, sell the necessaries of lite to a poor woman usually seeks the obscurity that the law of evidence throws around him. If a girl {s discharged from her position in a store because she rode in a street car in inclement weatler while a street car strike was on the coward who discharged her is coward enough to refuse to testify.” Judge Would Risk AlL He recognized, he sald, why some mer- chants would not come forward and tell | who forced them to refuse to sell to certain boycotted people. But If he were a store- keeper he would risk his all t st In breaking up the cowardly busine AS soor as the hearing opened the wage etatements of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and_Philadelphia & Reading companies were filed. - The first witness called sald a member of the miners' union threatened to kill him i he did not stop working and finally a1d shoot at him. The offender was sent to prison. Th= next three witnesses were John Hoff- man, his son, both of whom. ‘were working at the Upper Lehigh collfery assisting in putting in & new boiler, and another son employed in the mines. The father said how the strikers came at midnight to harm a son, who fled five miles to another town, The crowd then smashed the furniture and attempted to burn the house. Mrs. Kate McNamara of Parsons, the mother of four small children, whose hus- band was in the mines and could no‘ come for fear of bodily harm, testified that her_home was destroyed by fire at night and'she and her children were rescued with difculty. Counsel for the miners called the com- mission’s attention to the fact that the fire had not been compected with tho strikers. Judge Gray sald while the evidence did not deal directly with the fire by inferenco it was most probably of incendiary origin. Other witnesses were called to prove they were boycotfed and otherwise intimidated. Mob Attacks Twe. August Scheuch ot Hazleton, who worked for the Lehigh through the suspension, sald he was attacked by a mob and severely in- jured. He whs carrying a revolver, but did not use it because he was afrald of hitting his son, who was being beaten by the crowd. Many of his assallants were strikers and among them was Squire Me- Kelvey of Hazleton. Henry Vermillye of Dorrancetown, near Wilkesbarre, said he was forced to join tho unfon by the superintendent of the John C. Haddock Coal company in order to keep pence at the cofllery. This was before tha strike began. Later he left the company | because he thought the union was running the place and went to work for another company during the strike. He was hung in efigy, stones were thrown at him while going to and from his work and storekeep- | ers were compelled to refrain from selling | his relatives the necessaries of life. John Doran, manawer of the Wilkesbarre lace mills, testified that because he would not discharge two girle who had relatives | working in the mines the 100 employ went on strike and stayed out elght weeks until the matter was fixed up: These witnesses and others clalmed that thelr wives were Insulted on the streets and their children could not be sately sent to school. The men were shot at and hanged | in efMey and life was generally made miser- able for them and their families. The commission will adfourn on Saturday and reconvene in Philadelphia on Jan- uary 5. THINKS CUTTING May P IS A JOKE 1y Not Be So Fu Brown is Through with It. Before STURGIS, 8. D., Dec. 18.—(Special.)—E. E. Brown, arrested on a charge of assault with intent to kill, had hie preliminary hearing here yesterday and was bound over to the next term of Meade county circult, court in the sum of $1,000. Brown is the man who cut up James Bullls at White Owl with a buteher knife. Word comes to the effect that Bullis is in a very critical con- dition and Is mot able to be up. There seems to have been no cause for the trouble, except whisky, The two men had heen butchering cattle, and Brown gave Bulliy his revolver, saying he wight shoot some- body—such is the atory. Bullis threw the gun away. Afterward Brown proceeded to slice Bullis up with a butcher knife and was laughing all the time. Then Brown left for Plerre, where he was arrested.

A number of men who left the local shops when the walkout occurred ard who secured employ- ment on other roads have returned to spend the holidays, and will be on hand to take their old positions in case of an early sottlement of the trouble.. These men re. port that there s plenty of work In all parts of the country for skilled mechanles, and they bring hope and encouragement to the local strikers, all of whom could secure work elsewhere did they care to forsake their picket duties. In some sections there 1s a ehortage of skilled machinists, botler- makers and blacksmiths, and this fact, the strikers say, renders it almost Impossible for the Unlon Pacific to get a sufficlent number of desirable men to man its shops, for union men will not work where a strike 1s on.

Thick glass caps are to be placed over both ends of the tubes. It is sald that many accidents oceur, especially during the winter months, on account of escaping steam at the front of locomotives, obscuring a view of the track ahoad.

OBSEQUIES OF - DEAN FAIR Sad and Impres ity Cathea Atiernoon. ve Services at Trin- Yesterday For the last time Dean Campbell Fair of Trinity cathedral was with his parishloners and his friends last evening, borne among them 10 a plain, black casket shrouded with a blanket of white carnations and carried by six clergymen of the Episcopal faith. It was a tearful leaye taking, for his mortality had taken on immortality and there was to be left to those about inspiring words and his tender ministrations to the spiritually and the physically needy. At 8 o'clock his body was taken to Baltimore to be buried from his old charge, the Church of the Ascension In Lafayette square, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The same train bore from Omaba 'his wite, his young sons, Campbell and James, his sister, Miss Falr from Dublin, Rev. Francls 8. White of St. Andrew's church, and Mr. John C.

The first service yesterday was conducted at the family home, 2405 St. Mary's avenue, by Coadjutor Bishop Willlams of the Ne- braska dlocese for the family, the vestry- men and their wives. At 5 o'clock the body was taken to the' cathedral at Eighteenth and Davenport streets, where there had previously assem- bled so many friends that the edifice was crowded to the éxtreme. With the chimes “tolling solemnly, but with all hushed within the cathedral, the crucifer and the full robed cholr led up the central afsle, between the rows of bowed heads, a mourning procession in which, * following ‘the casket, there were members of the family, ‘Rev.

The congregation filed out, pausing before the half-opened coffin for a last look at the kindly face wo dear to them. The ch'mes were ringing “Nearer, My God, to Thoe," The entire front of the cathedral was banked with floral beauty. Of carnations alone 120 dozens were used, and in addl- tion were lilies, violets, hyacinths, narck sus and ferns, with American Beauty roses almost obscuring the pulpit.

Wise were the principal speak- | ers at the annual banquet of the New York State Bankers' assoclation given at the Waldort Astoria tonight Mr. Ridgely spoke on “Elasticity in the Currency,” and said in part: The one great objection which can be fairly made to our national banking system le the lack of elasticity in the curreney, Any complete and satisfactory solution of OUF_preeent currency pro s should In- ¢clude some plan for the retirement of the legal tenders. I belleve the banknote cir- culation can be greatly improved by a few quite coneervative chatiges which will add | to its elasticity or rather introduce some | elasticity where there is now practically none, and 1 urge every man who agrees that 'these changes will improve the cur- rency to glve his support to the effort even | 4 what e proposed does not accomplish all he wishes. | _The act of 1882 prohibits the retirement of more than $3,000,000 national banknotes in any calendar month. This prohibition has prevented contraction of the curren: notes became redundant and also prevented | expansion when it was needed.

These additional notes should be exactly the same In form and In all respects s those now fesued, In fact the change should be merely the increase of the permission so that a bank might lssue one and one- half times the par value of the bonds de- posited. the maximum amount of bonds remaining the same as now, equal to the capital stock of the bank. Tn the course of his address General Clhaf- feo said the only two experiences ke had of banking he had never been able to under- stand. One was whe he loared a blank chock to a friond when he only had $110 in the bank and the check came back pro- tested witn $2.25 charges. The other was In China. Tho govern-- ment deposited $10,000 to his credit and he notified the bank that he wanted $5,000.

Good Digestion Until it is Loat, Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know It. - They feel mean, out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well, do not have a £00d, keen appetite, do not have the in- clivation and energy for physical or men- tal work they oncc.bad, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distrees in the stomach. Yet all this fs the result of poor digestion, an insidious form of dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially Intended to cure it and make the digestive organs mct natur- ally and properly digest the food ecaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and nerve tonics will never help the trouble: they don't reach it. The new medical discovery does. It is called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and | 1s & specific for dyspepsia and indigestion. It cures because it thoroughly digests all wholesome fopd taken into the stomach, whether the stomach fs in good working order or not. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, by digesting the food instead of making the wornout stomach Ao all the wark, gives It a much needed rest and. a cyre of dyspepsia is the ratural result.
