THE MORNING OKEGONIAlf, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1902. THEYMEANBUSINESS England and Germany Send Their Fleets, TO CASTIGATE VENEZUELA Official Announcement That They XV ill Obtain Satisfaction for Ont ragcH on Their Citizens Rev olution Is SKII1 Active. LONDON, Dec 3. Great Britain and Germany, according to official statements made here, have commenced punitive measures against Venezuela, German "war vessels, it Is stated, are already on the scene of the contemplated action, and Great Britain expects soon to have a squadron there capable of coping "with any resistance that Venezuela might of fer,. Meanwhile the Associated Press cor respondent Is informed that no definite answer has yet been received from Wash ington by the financiers here, who wish to bring about a pacific settlement. An Important communication one way or the other is expected from Washington to morrow. If the United States is willing to guarantee its moral support to the re quest that Venezuela be allowed time to fulfill the suggested bargain, the plans thereof will at once be submitted to the British Foreign Office. If Washlngon re fuses to suggest to the European powers that Venezuela be allowed time, it is probable that the financial houses now in terested will drop the plan altogether. In the latter alternative the Venezuelan del egation here is likely to submit the sug gested settlement to the British and Ger man governments with an application for time to admit of their entering into nego tiations with other financial interests. Th-? Venezuelan delegates maintain that their status has been seriously affected by the adoption of the aggressive meas ure's announced today, but they declare that it would be obviously bad policy, in spite of the critical position of their coun try, to make any suggestion to Europe until the attitude of the United States, both as a Joint creditor and a largely in terested political power, had been ascer tained. The Associated Press correspondent is in a position to state that Venezuela of fers the payment on a unified loan of over f3.000.000. interest yearly, guaranteed by the customs, with the establishment of a European bank at Caracas to superintend the collection. The f whole plan is on a basis similar to that on which Brazil pays its European creditors. If such a method is now followed, the Venezuelan delegation maintains, all claims can eventually be met. whereas, it alleges that a temporary stoppage of the customs would so disturb the commerce of the country as to practically render it im possible to satisfy the European bond holders, and would bring with it the dan ger of another revolution. All these de tails are still unknown to the powers which have ordered their warships to Venezuela. In spite of the announce ment of Joint action by Great Britain and Germany, the British Ministry exhibits not a little perplexity over the Berlin dispatch of December 1, announcing that President Castro had handed to the Ger man Minister a written acceptance of a part of Germany's claims, sufficiently, comprehensive to delay the presentation of a joint ultimatum by Germany and Great Britain, it not rendering it alto gether unnecessary, and also stating that it was understood that Great Britain's demands would ' be satisfied. .Not the slightest official information to this effect has reached London. No attempt Is made to reconcile Great Britain's attitude with the news fr6m Berlin that President Castro is -willing to meet the demands made upon Venezuela The reason for the aggressive measures is declared to be the fact that no over tures have yet been received from Vene zuela towards meeting that country's obli gations by ordinary methods. The Associated Press is able to say that the European governments are still in ignorance of the suggested" scheme for a settlement which has been submitted to' the authorities at Washington. The present intention of Great Britain and Germany is to make a naval demon stration against Venezuela, with the probable seizure of custom-houses, though this is dependent upon developments. The British .Foreign Office is still absolutely In the dark regarding any statement made to the German Minister at Caracas, and Is somewhat mystified on the subject of Germany's Intentions. MATOS HAS XOT GIVES UP. Preparing: to Renew Hostilities and Overturn Castro. PORT-OF.SPATN. Island of Trinidad, Dec 3. Notwithstanding the recent suc cesses of President Castro against the revolutionists, plans are afoot by which the revolutionary party of Venezuela hopes to stem the tide. Instead of with drawing from the revolution, General Matos has pledged the expenditure of more money for the prosecution of the movement. A reporter of the Associated Press has Just concluded a careful investigation of the situation in Venezuela, where hey had Interviews with President Castroi mem bers of the Cabinet, and revolutionary leaders. This established the fact that. In spite of their defeat, the revolutionists, whether under Matos or other leaders, proposed to continue the struggle, trust ing that the Venezuelan customs-houses will eventually be seized by Germany and that, deprived of funds. President Castro will be unable to maintain the army and navy and will be compelled to flee. Those who know the President assert that he will not leave Venezuela, whatever the fortunes of war may be, and that he will fight until he is killed or captured. The revolutionists are also placing hope In Colombia, which the Venezuelan Presi dent Is endeavoring to placate. The au thorities at Bogota are sending men and war munitions Into Western Venezuela. The revolutionists of Venezuela hold the interior and eastern parts of Venezuela and the banks of the Orinoco, which Gen eral Vlenuti's expedition has been or dered to clear, moving first on Ciudad Bolivar. Agents of the Venezuelan insurgents in Trinidad say that a new plan of campaign his been adopted and that the center of the republic will in future be the scene of the operations, which, they, assert, are certain to result In the entry of General Matos into Caracas. This also was the revolutionists' idea when th'ey were at tacked by President Castro at La Vic toria, where they were defeated, though It is asserted that their retirement was due to a change of plans. The truth seems to be that the revo lutionary party is without capable direc tion in Venezuela. The subordinates of General Matos advised him to leave the country and permit them to conduct the military operations, but the revolution ary Generals in this important instance were Jealous of each other. General Her rcra holds Ciudad Bolivar Independently, having received no support from General V tos. Venezuela is heartily sick of the revolu tion and wants peace. A feeling Is de veloping, especially among the commer cial Interests, which have been gravely Injured by the long periods of unrest. In fuvor of the Intervention of the United States. This is not acceptable to Presi dent Castro or the Generals of the revo lution, who are hostile to any movement on the-part of Washington to Interfere with thoir plans. The revolutionists chsree the United States with aiding President Castro In support of this con tention, they cite the failure of Secretary Hay to declare the attitude of the United States in regard to the blockade of the Orinoco. If it is true that President, Castro has arranged with Germany, his continuance In office, for a time, at least, is assured. He has sufficient force to meet the revo lution and repel the filibustering expedi tions from Colombia. That he will be able to annihilate the revolutionists does not appear probable. So long as he is in power, the President's enemies assert, he will have a rebellion on hand, and tho ssmc rnnrMHnn nn.-1rmhto.-11v -ivllt mnrlr tVi administration of his successor. The rev olutionists aver that almost the entire country supports General Mata3. This is an optimistic statement. The only man able to unite the Venezuelans is "El" Mocho".

(Continued from First Page.) a delegate as much as to have some one In Congress who could be looked to ca authority on Alaska matters as anything else. As it is now, members have diverse and conflicting views regarding .Alaska need's and interests, and this naturally hinders the procurement of new legisla tion. Both Oregon and Washlgton dele gations are behind .Mr. Cushman in his struegle. Under an agreement reached today, the House public lands committee will next Wednesday consider the advisability of extending the public land laws to Alaska, at which time members interested will be heard. There Is one proposition to extend to Alaska all public land laws except the timber and stone act, and to Increase homesteads to 320 acres, and another prop osition merely providing for 320-acre home steads, which is now on the House cal endar. The sentiment of "the committee as shown today rather indicates that the latter proposition will be accepted, if either is pressed. The committee also took up the question of public land surveys In Alaska, but found that this calls for appropriations, and is, therefore, not in Its jurisdiction. An attempt will be made to induce the appropriations committee to provide an adequate jmm in the sundry civil bill to commence Government survey next Sum- Will In sr to Conform. Chicago Tribune.

RUMORS OF SETTLEMENT COAIi MIXERS AND OPERATORS MAY GET TOGETHER. Meanwhile Commission Remains at Work, Wlileh May Continue In definitely Into Xext Yenr. SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 3. The Scranton coal companies and their employes having failed to come to an agreement during the Thanksgiving recess of the strike com mission, the hearing of the miners' side of the case was continued today, and un less something is done by the lawyers on both sides to curtail matters, the pro ceedings will surely run Into next year. With the reassembling of the commls'sion today, however, there was a revival of a talk of settlement "out of court." Noth ing definite has been done, and neither side has approached the other, so far as can be learned, regarding further nego tiations, but, as one prominent attorney expressed it, "there is something in the air." The lawyers of both sides have heard the rumor, but profess to know nothing about it. Chairman Gray, speak ing for the commission today, again ex pressed the hope that efforts would.be made by both sides to agree on as many points as possible, and said that the com mission was ready to lend any concilia tory help to bring about that end. Six witnesses were put on the stand during the two sessions today. They were: President Mitchell, two photograph ers, two practical miners, one of them a Hungarian, and the wife of a German miner. Mr. Mitchell was on the stand for a short time only, and was called to show that a 20 per cent increase in wages did not mean a corresponding Increase in the price of coal. The photographers pro duced about E0 photographs they had taken of the homes of mlneworkers in the Hazleton region, which territory -was under Investigation today. The two min ers testified with reference to. wages paid and working conditions at the collieries of Coxe Bros. & Co., and the woman, whose husband is employed in the Coxe mines, Jold a general story of poverty. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. Snyn Gray, in AdviwlnK Settlement More Testimony for Miners. SCRANTON, Pa.. Dec. 3. After an ad journment of 10 days, during which time tho representatives of the railroads and miners were kept busy preparing evidence for submission to the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission, the .hearing of the miners' e'.de of the controveniy was resumed In the State Supreme Courtroom at 10 o'clock this morning. The usual large crowd was in attendance, and in ad dition there were several new faces among the array of attorneys. The most prom inent among these was Samuel -Dickfion. Avers of Philadelphia, representing the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company, a large In dependent company whose collieries are all located In the Panther Creek Valley. Among the spectators were about 20 Ital ians', and Poles, who r x-IH be called upon to tell the conditions prevailing in the middle, or Hazleton, region. , In opening the day's proceedings, Chair man Gray made an explanation of the at titude of the Commission regarding' the j efforts for an outside settlement. He said . there had been a misunderstanding in ' eome quarters. The idea had gone out that the whole matter would be, dismissed if j an agreement was reached. This, he said, ' was Incorrect. He "read a statement made by the subcommittee In which It was stated that the commission would not abro gate Its duties and that It would otand re sponsible for any agreement It approved or award it made. The chairman also add ed that the Commission wlahed to say that I parties to the controversy may not with draw without the consent of the Qther parties before the Commission. "We would be glad to have everybody represented and have the whole field cov ered." onid he. Mr. Dickson announced that In addition to representing the Lehigh Coal & Naviga tion Company, he appeared for the indi vidual concerns in the Hazleton region. On the 'outside agreement proposition Chairman Gray announced, that the Com mission still "entertained the hope that efforts to ngree would continue, and the Commission would gladly lend Its good of fices to that end." Judge Gray said that unless edme common-sense agreement. was reached as to the presentation of figures, expectation of life of most of the mem bers of the Commission would be insuffi cient to reach an end to the controversy. President Mitchell was called to the stand and In anewer to questions by his counsel said the 20 per cent increase in wages would increase the labor cost leas than 10 cents a ton. Taking President Baer's statement as a baos. he said the Increase would be about 17 cents a ton. He was cross-examined by Wayne Mac Veagh and other attorneys. In reply to a question, Mr. Mitchell said the companies were not averse to increasing the wages of the men, but did not do so because they were opposed to the union. W. H. Deterry, president of the local union, who is employed as a miner by Coxe Bros., said company men are paid an average of ?7 20 a week and that a '. blacklist exists at the Coxe mlnos. He I further said he was on the blacklist for nine months because he refused to work 1 a breast which netted him only $3 a week. He also complained of- the docking system. GOMPERS ANSWERS EMOT. Defend Unions From Ansnultrt Harvard President. BOSTON, Dec. 3. "The Organization of Labor Trade Unions" was the title of a , lecture given by Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, before the Twentieth Century -Club to- night. During the lecture he dwelt at length on the reported adverse criticisms of labor unions by President Eliot. He thought President Eliot did hot mean what he said, or did not graep the im- portance of what he did say. Mr. Gompers I said further that, if the strike-breaker Is I a "hero then all associated effort Is wrong; I the efforts of the whole 'world for social, ' industrial and religious liberty are wrong. NICOLAUS IS ACQUITTED NO PlloOP THAT RICH BREWER IS ' A BOODLEH. Verdict Is Found in Accordance With Order of Jnilge-135,000 Boodle in Evidence. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3. Henry Nicolaus, the 'millionaire brewer and director in the Suburban Street Railway Company, who was on trial today on the charge of brib ery In connection with the passage of the Suburban bill In the City Council, wes "acquitted tonight under Instructions from Judge Ryan, who sustained the defense's demurrer to the state's case and ordered that a verdict of not guilty be returned. After the state had rested its case, the attorneys for the defense declared that the state had failed to show knowledge or intent by the witnesses who had taken the stand against the defendant. They asserted that the state had not made a strong enough case to warrant its .going to the Jury. Circuit Attorney Folk, in ar- f gulng against the demurrer, held that the state had made a clear case of bribery against Nicolaus, contending that he would not have signed notes for $135,000. without knowing to what use the money thus obtained was to "be put. Judge Ryan announced his decision im mediately upon the completion of the ar guments and ordered the jury to acquit , the defendant, which was clone. Mr. NIc j olaus received the congratulations of his i friends as he left the courtroom.
