The supply is practical- ly inexhaustible. The article reads: The average Venezuelan will dig and load into a dump car 2% to 3 tons of asphalt in an eight-hour working day as a task, and it is on record that some of the more hardy ones have loaded as much as § tons in 10 hours. They receive [0 cents per day for their labor, and one ration, averaging in cost from 18 to 19 cents per day. They are fond of new rum, but it is very rarely that they drink to excess. The laborers” at the Bermudez plant usually are ha Venezuelans, the er half being India negroes, with a sprinkling occa- slonally of coolies from Trinidad, who have completed their seven years' labor contracts, and do not care to return to the East Indles. There are rarely ever more than five or six American citizens at one time on the com- pany’'s premises, all of them being superior offic charged with administrative affairs. A few ‘scattering Indians now and then camp about the lake, but they seem averse to com- ing in contact with their more civilized breth- ren. At present the New York and Bermudez company has two chartered steamers under foreign flags t6 bring up asphalt to their re- finery at South Amboy. Prisoners Sentenced.

CHICAGO, March 23.—Officlal announce- ment was made here to-day that the con- troversy between the Chicago Board of Trade and the telegraph companies over the collection and dissemination of market quotations has been settled. Within a ‘week, if not sooner, it is expected quota- tions will be sent out from this market to all parts of the country, as they were before the trouble started, many months ago. The afireement was made at a meet- ing at which were present President War- ren of the Board of Trade, Colonel Clow- ry of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, attorneys for all the people inter- ested and several members of the quota- tion committee. The trouble started last July, and since that time the country has not had the Chicago grain quotations, except as they were sent over private wires by brokers or in private messages, or in newspapers after the market closed. In making the announcement President Warren said: ““The board znd the telegraph compa- nies have settled thelr differences in a way satisfactory to the board. 1 do not care to xive out the detalls of the agree- ment until the formality of signing the contracts has been observed. The tele- graph companies will be free to send out the quotations April 1.” It is underst: the agreement calls for the payment of an aggregate sum of $30,- 000 %er annum by the telegraph companies to the board, the maintenance of rates in the local field so as not to crush out the Cleveland Telegraph Company, which has been handling the quotations in Chicago under the direction of the board and which has a twenty-year contract with the board, and the control of the board over the telegraph companies in regard to the people to whom quotations are fur- nished. The Board of Trade is to indem- nify the telegraph companies against ex- mfle or damage obtained by applicants m the telegraph comr:nlel by reason of the disapproval of their applications by he board. ————— Honor Their Colonel. A handsome saber was presented to Colonel O'Nell, commander of the First Regiment, N. G. C., by Company B of his command the Page-street Armory last evening. Accompanying the gift was an enlarged photograp) of the company taken in Manila. Captain Wall accom- glnlad the presentation ceremony with a rief congratulatory address. " ALL THE RAGE! Delightiul!

It is not the intention of the new cor- poration at present to make any changes in the management of the constituent companies, buc it is likely that new s; tems of operations will be introduced. Among the concerns embraced in the big steel combine the Carnegle Company heads the list 2s to the number of em- ployes, ard is closely followed by the Na- tional Tube Comgany and the American Steel and Wire Company. All are open mills, cnly those of the American Tinplate Company and several of the American sheet steel companies being under the ju- risdiction of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, the wages paid being regulated by an annual scale agreed upon by that organization and the compuanies. The wages at the other plants are arranged by agreement between the workmen and the compantes. It seems likely that this system will be continued by the United States Steel Cor- poration. No announcement has been made of the formulating of a general wage scale for the various departments of the big combination. e ACCUSED OF STEALING UNCLE SAM'S MATERIAL Two Government Contractors Are Ar- rested in Philadelphia and Some Missing Goods Are Traced.
