BY BRITAIN AND GERMANY Warships Are, Assembling on Her Coasts. , MINISTERS LEAVE CARACAS Balfoar Announce That ESprts at Amicable Settlement Have .Failed, and Now the Two Powers Are Prepared to Enforce Claims. Great Britain and Germany have each sent an ultimatum to Venezuela In re gard to the wrongs done their subjects. After presenting the ultimatums, their Ministers at Caracas went on board the- , warships of their respective nations.. Fleets of the two powers are assem bling off the Venezuelan coast In readi ness to seize th custom-houses and col lect the sums demanded. , No statement Is made on behalf of Venezuela. ..o.. i LONDON, Dec. 8. Great Britain and Germany have presented .ultimatums to Venezuela, .which will be followed up by the seizure of the customs unless a satis factory settlement is forthcoming within a brief period. The ultimatums have a time limit, but the exact date cannot be ascertained here. The Foreign Office states with regard to the limit: "It is a reasonable time in which Vene zuela can satisfy the Injured governments. Both notes afe practically identical, al though the amounts of the claims differ, The notes merely reiterate the continued; disregard by the Venezuelan government of all our representatives, specify their Claims and demand immediate action on the part of President Castro's gpvernmeilt in connection therewith." The British government's case Is prac tically identical with the statements, made in previous dlspajches from London, In. which It was' first announced that the action was contemplated. Should the British ultimatum meet with a hostile reception, the British Minister, W. H. D. Haggard, has been instructed to go aboard' a British warship, or' if that is Impracticable, to go into the neighbor ing . British colony. Premier Balfour's announcement in the. House of Commons this afternoon Is re garded as merely the obvious culmination to tlie situation which daily has been becoming more critical for the past three months. The Foreign Office says: "There is not the slightest desire to coerce Venezuela, and If any answer had been made to our repeated protests and demands, no such action as now taken would have been proceeded with. It was the persistent and Insulting disregard of all representations which compelled us t,o move. It is now too late In the day for anything but purely diplomatic arrange ments for the satisfaction of our injuries, When the fleets have assembled there Is scarcely time to deal with bankers and a "financial settlement, which should have been suggested long ago and would have been welcomed by both Germany and our selves. However, any bona fide proposi tion will receive careful attention. Rep construction in commercial affairs Is al ways better than liquidation and, if the reconstruction of the Venezuelan finances can be accomplished to the satisfaction of our diplomatic claims and Individual losses, both Germany and Great Britain will have achieved their ends." MINISTERS LEAVE CARACAS. After Handing in Ultimatum, They Go-on Board -Warships. CARACAS, Dec. 8. The British Minister, W. H. D. Haggard, and the German Charge d'Affaires, Von "Pllgrlm-Baltazzl, left Caracas at 3 o'clock this- afternoon for La Guayra, where Minister Haggard went on board the British cruiser Retribution and Herr von Pilgrlm-Baltazzl boarded the German cruiser Vinetau Both the British and the German Legations have been closed. Yesterday afternoon the British Minister and the German Charge d'Affaires depos ited at the private residence of the Foreign Minister, Lopez Barralet, separate de-' mands; the British demand being for (the settlement of claims and other matters arising out of the last revolutions, and the German demand being for the payment of the interest on the German loans and other claims. The demands are without any specification as to the time given for an answer, but they are in the form of an ultimatum. At 3 o'clock today Minister Haggard, his secretary, Grant Duff, and the Chancellor of the Legation, Godfred, left Caracas in company with the German Charge d'Af faires, Von Pllgrlm-Baltazzl, for La. Guay ra- On the arrival of the train at the lat ter port, at 5 o'clock, 30 officers met the diplomats at the station. Minister Hag gard and the other members of the British Legation went on board the British cruiser Retribution, while the German Charge d'Affaires boarded the German cruiser Vineta. The Ministers left Caracas with out previously notifying the Venezuelan government, probably In order to avoid, any hostile demonstration. r Yesterday and "today; being, festivals In Caracas, all the public offices are closed. And It Is impossible to see any one m au thority regarding the departure of the Mln- istera The handing in of. a demand 6t such a nature at the, private residence of a Minister, forgetting all diplomatic rules,, is believed In some Quarters to be. without" precedent. The actual situation Is incom--' prehenslble here, up to this morning-.no one appeared to know anything about the Anglo-German projected, demonstration. The Foreign Minister said' that he consid ered a menace on the. part of Germany to be inadmissible, and that any threa.t woulo' be only "ballon d'essai." As for Eneland. aJdrthe Minister, she had bo grounds for aggression. The Associated Press correspondent In spected the two Legations yesterday, and there was then no preparation indicating that the Ministers Intended to abandon their posts. The government has made no military preparations at La Guayra: Vene zuelan citizens considered the threat of a demonstration as a bluff, and set aside the possibility of an Anglo-German demonstra tion. The correspondent learns that-one of .the chief officers of the German cruiser Vineta told a German family at La Guayra yes terday that a blockade of the coasts of Venezuela was Imminent. Movements of Warships. CARACAS, Dec. 8. The German cunboat Panther has arrived at La Guayra. The English cruiser Indefatigable has left Agua Dulce for Trinidad on a special mis-' sion. STATEMENT OF BALFOUR. British Premier Announces- Sending of Ultimatums in Parliament. ' LONDON. Dfn R. Promlor Tlilfmir an nounced today that an ultimatum had been sent to Vinfziipln nnfl ihnt in th event of a satisfactory reply not being' receivea me Hritisn ana German govern ments would take measures to enforce British and German claims aealnst that country. Mr. Balfour, when auestlonrd on th Venezuelan situation by the Liberal Min ister, blr Henry Campbell-Bannernian, In the House of Commons today, said: "For the past two years we have had grave cause for complaint on various oc casions of unjustifiable Interference by the Venezuelan government with the lib erty and property of British subjects. No effort has been spared by the British gov ernment to obtain an amicable, settlement, but in none of them has s.itlRfnrtnrvn-r- planatlons been forthcoming.

"A final communication has been made to the Venezuelan government by the British Minister and the German Charge d'Affaires. If no satlsfactnrv rpnlv J re ceived the governments have decided to take such measures as are necessary, to enforce their claims." Replying to a supplementary question, Mr. Balfour said he unrifirstnnrl tKo rhm municatipn tp Venezuela was neither Joint nor identical. . . IDENTICAL ;',EV SEJRIT Are Two Ultimatums; Showlhfcr-nity of Action. BERLIN, Dec. 3. The German and Brit ish ultimatums to Venezuela were pre sented at 3 o'clock yesterday at Cara cas. The ultimatums are Identical in spirit, but not In form. Each .embodies the respective claims of the two coun tries and is consequently different, "Some announcement on the subject would have been made by" the govern ment to the Reichstag today, had the House been In session. A statement will! be made" tomorrow orally by Chancellor von Bulow or read by President von Ballestrem. The Bundesrath already has been informed that the Foreign Office is unwilling to disclose the text of Germany's ultimatum, as such a step would be' against all precedents . and because it would also be discourteous to Venezuela to publish the text, without giving that country 'an opportunity" to reply.

The first annual meeting of -the" industrial "department of the National Civic Federation was begun here today. Senator Hanna called the session to order and made an address of welcome. In which he said: "In extending welcome to you, I also wish to extend congratulations. I am glad to be able to say that your experi ences In the last year have proved to those who are charged with the responsibilities-of this work the fact that the great mass of the American people aTe In sympathy with the organization and lte: work. This great Industrial question has come to -the surface, and Is demanding due and careful consideration by the peo ple of the United States. No more im portant question claims their attention than this one, which seeks to bring about a better relationship between capital and labor. The object of this meeting today Is to discuss every phase of this ques tion." . Uayor Low made an address of wel- ; come on" behalf of the city. Among those present were: John G. Mil I burn, of Buffalo; Louis Nixon, Bishop Potter, Cornellug. N. 'Bliss., President j Eliot, of Harvard; Archbishop Ireland, jonn j. .oicyooK, nanes -a. Bonaparte, of Baltimore; James A.

Palmer, of Michigan; John Graham Brooks, Cambridge, and John A. Hobart, of England. Time he Great Healer. At the meeting of the industrial de partment, Charles Francis Adams made a speech, in the course of which he said: "Sound and fruitful legislation cannot be Improvised. It is- Idle to talk in lan guage as empty as It is grandiose of 'curbing' and regulating potentates and powers of such, large and yet, vague character as those that labor and cap ital are now continually bringing Into the field by any patented method. A Governmental regulation which shall deal satisfactorily with them must rest upon a broad and well-considered basis of experience- "It Is equally futile to suppose that this VANDERBILT. labor contest In which we have been en- ! gaged, and of which we have experience'd the inconvenient result for so many years. Is going to be settled in a day or an hour or next year, or within the next 10 years It will continue with us during the re mainder of our lives and with our chil dren afterwards. We will slowly and tentatively approximate to satisfactory results. Under these circumstances. If a solution, represented by a proper Legis lative and administrative machinery. Is ever to be evolved. It must be evolved from serious, wearisome investigations and reports thereon, no less judicial and well considered than that series of great opinions from which the present Consti tution of the United States has been slowly built up and rounded out." Where Americans Excel. Alfred Moseley explained how he came to bring a delegation of British workmen to America. When In South Africa he had . found that American engineers had succeeded In mining operations where . ish engineers had failed, and a later 'visit to the United States convinced him ,that American business methods were In advance of those of the Old Country. One of - the reasons of this, he said, was the adoption by American manufacturers of piecework, and another the encourage ment' offered to brains and initiative. There Is not that close touch between the English manufacturer and his workmen Vnat there is here. Added to this Is the Improved machinery and the knack of getting more out of It than they do on the other side. As to shorter hours, Mr. Moseley was of the optnion that to secure the elghtrhour day the movement must be universal. Restriction of .output, he said, could not be permitted. The speaker declared him self against the boycott. In favor of the freedom of man to sell his labor to whom he desirrd, and the organization of both capital and labor. There were other things besides the question of consumption to be considered In connection with the movement" for shorter fiours. Among them were freight ratesand money exchange. As to the trusts, he said, personally he did not distrust them. Capital and Labor Face to Face. At the afternoon session Archbishop Ire land made an address, in which he said the venr almost gone had confirmed the originators of the Civic Federation in their conviction that they, were engaged in a great and salutary work that of striving to bring together, to put face to face, capital and labor, so that the one would understand the rights of the other. so that the one would be willing to per form Its own duty toward the other, and that in this manner Industrial - peace Should be made to reign over the country ' "No greater task today," he said, "could be given" to a minister of Christ's' gospel than to contrlbuto In some little way to establish this reign of industrial peace. It Is not surprising that there are arising disputes and collisions. Humanity Is en tering Into a new period of development. and all development and all growths in a being, whether physical or moral, origi nate with a feeling of uneasiness, and In a sentiment that new conditions have been found, and that the moment has come for a new adaptability. The con ditions which confront us, far from being dtecpuraglng. are really such 'as to give .hope and fcomfort, such as tti bring us to geek o.utolutions with all the hopfifulV 'ness of approximate vlctorv. 'Labor; in' Its effort to secure for Itself ;a just and reasonable proportion of the wealtn that It and capital together are creating, necessarily for the time being comes somewhat into conflict with capital. And what seems at present to threaten somewhat public peace and to arrest somewhat the growth of prosperity Is but a precursory sign of greater social happi ness and of greater social wealth. It is not at one meeting. It is not in one year that all these great problems can be solved. At the same time we must feel sure that a solution is coming. Humanity has sufficient mind and has sufficient good-will jo pettle all matters In "which it is vitally Interested." ' As to Compulsory Arbitration. D. G. Sykes, of Chicago, ex-secretary of the State Railway Commission of this city, speaking on the question of arbi tration, said: "I am opposed to the Idea of compul sory arbitration as relating to industry generally. I think it is contrary to right Ideas and to American Ideas, in that it Is likely to lead to harm and to stagna tion, but I differentiate between the pub lic service corporation and the ordinary Industrial corporation. "It ought to be no more possible to have the street-car ssrvice of a great city like New York or Chicago, St Louis or- New Orleans, Interfered with by labor troubles' than It would be to have the .Fire Department out of action for one "week or .two weeks because the men were on a strike." John McMakin. of the State Labor Commission, of New York, said: "It Is because men do not comprehend their relations, their Interdependence in the world, that troubles follow. We feel them more here In America because we progress faster. We shall have to settle them In advance of any other nation, because of our advance and our progress, and It Is only by the method wisely taken by the leaders of capital and the leaders of the large organizations that we shall be able to arrive at any satisfactory set tlement of this industrial problem." BIG FAILURE IN OMAHA. Receiver Appointed for Lnrjrest De partment Store in City. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. On application of attorneys representing local creditors, Judge Munger In the Federal Court late today appointed Edgar E. Hastings tem porary receiver for the W. R. Bennett Company, proprietor of one of the largest department stores 'in the city. Although no schedule of liabilities and assets has been filed. Mr. Bennett stated to the Associated Press that the former would aggregate about 1447.000. The as sets are composed of a general stock, which In values is estimated atr about $225, 000, and a new building completed a few months ago at a cost of 5375,000. On the latter there Is a mortgage of ?182,000.. Un der the receivership the store will not close, but will be managed by Mr. Hast ings himself, who has been Its manager for some. time. Mr. Bennett will remain as an employe. Nebraska bankers and jobbers are the principal creditors, although $100,000 of the paper Is held by Chicago and Eastern concerns. The W R.

Wash ington, Dec. S. It is evident that a great many public men are considering Senator Hanna as a Presidential possibility. These are the men who are closely identified with, or are supposed to represent, large corporate Interests and capital. They are watching everything In the- closest man ner, and, if there -Is a possibility of der featlng Roosevelt for the Presidential nomination they will not hesitate to plunge Into the campaign. As the situa tion now stands, all of them recognize the great popularity of the President throughout? the country and are aware that unless something . occurs to change that condition he will surely be nom inated, At the same time they figure that 15 months will elapse before the- states again elect delegates to' the National con vention in 1904. and that In that time the wave of popularity for Roosevelt, which Is now believed to be at Its height, will subside, and the country will be ready for another man.
