POSTOFFICE FRAUD CASES.
Cuban Stamp Cleric Given Strong
Evidence Aprnlnnt Neely.
HAVANA, Jan. 6. At the continuation
of the trials of the cases arising from
the Cuban postofflce frauds In the Auden-
cia Court today, Senores Lanuza and
Desvernlr.e reappeared as counsel for
Eptes G. Rathbone. Moya and Mascara,
the two Cuban stamp clerks, testified that
they had received surcharged stamps from
Charles F. "W. Neely, without making rec
ord thereof; that they had sold them, and
had given the money received therefor to
Neelcy. The two stamp clerks recalled
about 18 Instances of such payments of
about ?100 each. Moya said that Neely
made no secret of these transactions, and
that Neely's clerks received this money
wheen Neely was not present.
W. H. Reeves, one of the defendants,
was on the stand for three hours. The
fiscal examined Reeves with regard to the
paying of four duplicate warrants on the
Postofficc Department from the pay of the
employes In July, 1899, when Reeves was
deputy auditor of Cuba, and Involving
about JS000. One set of warrants had
been drawn .about the middle of the
month, and another later, and the names
on them had been forged. Reeves said
both sets of warrants had been paid. He
testified that Neely told him he had
cashed these warrants. Reeves was asked
if. In a previous statement to the court
of first instance, he had not said he him
self had forged the indorsement to thestf
warrants. Reeves refused to answer this
question. Reeves testimony was con
tradictory in many respects to his previ
ous statements. During Reeves testi
mony Neely remarked that Reeves was
getting himself Into a tight place, and
that if he would keep on he would prove
him (Neely) to 'be Innocent.

EMBARKED ON LIBERTADOR
Rlera nnd lilt, Force of Insurgents
Xow on Venezuelan Soil.
WILLEMSTAT, Curacoa, Jan. 6.
Shortly before midnight last night a
steamer, believed to be the Venezuelan
revolutionary steamer Libertador, passed
several times before this port, signaling
to people ashore. Answering signals ap
peared to have been received from shore,
and It Is asserted that the members of
the revolutionary expedition who had as
sembled on this Island embarked on board
the Libertador and should have been
landed early this morning on the Venezu
elan coast, near Valade, Coro.
Later in the day it became definitely
known that General Riera, the Venezuelan
insurgent leader, and all the other Insur
gents who had assembled here embarked
on board the Libertador during the day
and night, and landed on Venezuelan soil
thls.mornlng near Veadlecoro with arms
and ammunition.
It is reported here this afternoon that
the Libertador has captured the Venez
uelan gunboat Zumbador. The gunboat
Zumbador, of the Venezuelan Navy, was
originally named the Agosto.
British Xo Longer on Board.
LONDON, Jan. 6. As the agent in Lon
don who has been remitting half the pay
of the crew of the steamer Ban RIgh, re
cently renamed the Libertador, and now
in the service of the Venezuelan revolu
tionists, to relatives of the men, has re
ceived orders from the Island of Mar
tinique to stop payment. It Is presumed
here that the British crew is no longer
aboard the steamer. A letter from a mem
ber of the crew says all the sailors wore
gold-lace uniforms, and were highly paid.
They were told they were engaged for the
West Indian fruit trade, but when they
reached Antwerp they found the Liber
tador full of gunpowder, shells and cart
ridges. NO DESIRE3 FOR WAR.
Andrnde, Says Castro, Not Venezuela,
Is the Enemy of Colombia.
COLON, Colombia Jan. 6. General An
drade, the ex-President of Venezuela, who
arrived here from Curacoa yesterday, said
today. In the course of an Interview on
board a train bound for Panama:
"It Is not Venezuela, but Castro, who is
the enemy of Colombia. The Venezuelans
have absolutely no desire for war with
Colombia. Venezuela and Colombia, dur
ing the past 70 years, have always re
garded each other as sister republics,
bound by the closest and most friendly
ties, and they are now for the first time
enemies, thanks to Castro's machina
tions." Referring to the Internal troubles of
Venezuela, General Andrade said he was
satisfied that the whole country was in
revolt against Castro, whose government
was likely to fall at any time. General
Matos, who, Andrade said, was an Im
mensely rich, honorable man, a perfect
gentleman, much esteemed and well sup
ported In many quarters, would possibly
be a candidate for the Presidency, once
Castro was overthrown. Andrade added
that he himself was unwilling to seek re
election. When qucsti6ne on the subject
of the Venezuelan revolutionary steamer
Libertador, Andrade said he was confident
tho expedition would succeed in effecting
a landing on some eastern point of tho
Venezuelan coast.

In Explanation of Colombia's Xote.
NEW YORK. Jan. 6. In explanation of
the note which the Colombian Government
has sent to President Castro, declaring
that the grievances of Venezuela against
Colombia are not founded upon fact, a
dispatch to the Herald from Caracas says:
"The note is considered a dispassionate
presentation of Colombia's side of "the
case. It Isi evidently an answer to Cas
tro's communication to the Chilean Min
ister at Bogota, in reference to Chile's
offer of mediation to settle the Colombian
Venezuejah. imbroglio. President Castro
declared in his conditional acceptance of
the offer of mediation that Venezuela ex
pected reparation for the alleged invasion
of Colombian troops and for other grievances."
Satisfactory to Argentina.
BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 6, via Galveston.
The declaration by Chile relative to the
meaning of the paragraphs of the Yanez
Portela protocol, concerning the policing
of the territory known as Ultima Esper
anza, is satisfactory to Argentina. Inso
much as the principles "wherein Argentina
considered herself aggrieved by Chile have
been provided for, the two govcrrxnents
will approve the paragraphs In question,
thus putting an end to the claims arising
from the Ultima Esperanza incident.
Public opinion Is satisfied, and expresses
its approval of the energetic attitude of
the Argentine Government.

JUDGE FORCIBLY EJECTED.
Contest Over Possession of Brooklyn
Police Court Continues.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6. The contest over
the possession of the Police Courts of
Brooklyn was continued today. The old
Magistrates, who were appointed during
the term of Mayor Van Wyck, maintained
possession of two of the courts under a
truce whereby the newly .elected Magis
trates were to await further legal de
cision' as to the constitutionality of the
law under which they were elected. In
the Adams-Street Court, however, a scone
was created by an order from Walter L.
Durack, an elected Magistrate, to 'the po
lice to remove Edward J. Dooley, -a Van
Wyck appointee, from the courtroom. The
police, acting under an opinion of Cor
poration Counsel Rives, recognized Dur
ack as the legally elected magistrate and
they forcibly ejected Dooley. A police
man advanced to the bench and apologized
for disturbing him, declaring that he was
only obeying orders. "Well." replied
Dooley, "you must take the conse
quences." Two policemen then ascended
to the bench, and, each seizing Dooley by
an arm, HftcTr him bodily from his chair.
As soon as the chair was empty, Durack
sprang into it, and declared the court ad
journed. Dooley, after his forcible re
moval, went to the office of his attorney.
Justice Marean.'ln th Supreme Court,
issued an order Saturday, directing the
Sheriff of Kings County to recognize the
appointed Magistrates, on the ground that
the law under which the contesting Magis
trates were elected was unconstitutional.
At about the same time Corporation Coun
sel Rives gave an opinion to the Police
Department, holding It to be their duty
to regard the elected Magistrates as le
gally entitled to the possession of the of
fices. Later it was discovered that Jus
tice Marean's court order only applied
to Magistrate HIgginbotham, the other
Magistrates not having joined in the pro
ceedings. Accordingly this afternoon
Corporation Counsel Rives modified his
instructions to the police so that cases
coming within the jurisdiction of the Lee
avenue court will go before HIggin
botham.

by declaring that he can prolong the life of a cell by treating it with potassium
cyanide, has been working- for eeveral years on a theory of electrical energy as

that electric energy. Instead rf thermal energy. Is the cause of muscular action.

now occupies the chair of these two subjects. He was educated In Berlin, and re
ceived his first degree In 1SS0. He later attended the 'University of 8trasburg. and

THE NEEDSOF DEMOCRACY
"WHAT W. J.jBRYAX SAID AT JACK
SOX ' DAY ' BAXaUET.
Party Should Learn From "Old Hick
ory" That to Be Right Cbmcs
Ahead of Success. .
WOOSTER, O., Jan. 3. W. J. Bryan
spoke here tonight at the Jackson day
banquet, which was held this evening at
his suggestion that he might keep en
gagements at .New Haven and Boston later
In the week. His subject was "Stead
fastness," which he said was one of the
distinguishing traits of Andrew Jackson's
character. Said he:
"When he decided that anything ought
to be done, he did it, and "no power could
awe him. He did not have In his veins
a single drop of 'anything-to-wln blood."
Continuing Mr. Bryan said:
"We shall observe this day In vain if
we do not gather from the life of Jackson
inspiration and encouragement for the
work which lies before us. Today tho
Democratic party needs to learn from
the hero of New Orleans the lesson of
steadfastness; If. needs to learn from him
that not only to be right is more import
ant than to be successful, but that to be
right is the best way to Insure success."
In conclusion, Mr. Bryan said:
"But suppose what no one should as
sume and whnt no one can prove that
steadfast adherence to Democratic prin
ciples will result In. repeated defeat, is
there any reason why we should abandon
those principles and adopt others, or have
none at all? Those who prefer prison
fare or a servile subject's lot to the
dangers of the battle field may condemn
the Boers for continuing what some de
scribe a9 a hopeless struggle for Inde
pendence, but those who'.can measure the
mighty Influence of great deeds know that
the sturdy Dutchmen of South Africa have
already conferred upon the world a bene
fit that cannot be measured by money.
Their valor has brought greater security
to all the republics of the earth; the
bodies of their dead have built a bulwark
behind which the friends of liberty will
ffght for centuries. The fact that England
has expended more than 51000 per Boer,
the per capita wealth of the United
States, the fact that England has been
compelled to employ more than 300.0CO
soldiers to subjugate lers than 25.000 men
in arms, and has neither been able to pur
chase them nor kill them; thete facts
are Immeasurably valuable to people
everywhere who want free government
for themselves and are content that others
should enjoy It also. So the Democratic
party, whether In power or out of power,
is serving mankind when It stands stead
fastly for constitutional government,
and invites that government shall be ad
ministered according to the Jeffersonian
maxim, 'equal rights to all, and special
privileges to none.' "

Maxim on Airship Competition.
LONDON, Jan. G. Regarding the pub
lished statement that the managers of
the St, Louis Exposition have decided to
offer 5200,000 for an airship competition,
Sir Hiram Maxim, the American in
ventor, said to a representative of the'
Associated Press:
"I have not heard anything on the sub
ject beyond press reports, and certainly
shall not spend any money on that basis.
I have spent $100,000 in aerial experiments
In the past. If I get an invitation In
official form, and the St. Louis managers
put up 5200.000 In a bank, I am willing to
spend 5100,000 more to win, and thus re
coup myself, which I feel reasonably con
fident I could do."
Santos-Dumont and Langley are men
tioned as probable competitors for the
St. Louis prize.
COMPENSATION FOR SAMOANS
They Receive ?4200 for Gnns De
livered Up Last Year.
TUTUILA, Samoa, Dec. 2i, via San
Francisco. Jan. 6. The Government has
paid out 51200 as compensation for guns

PULLMAN -WAGNER COMBINE
Chicnffo Judgre Rnles After Two
Yenrs That It "Was LcKnl.
CHICAGO, Jan. 6. Judge Tuley, in the
Circuit Court today, decided not to issue
the injunction against the Pullman Palace
Car Company, asked for by Truman A.
Taylor, who sought to have that company
restrained from purchasing the stock of
the Wagner Sleeping Car Company with
200.000 shares of Pullman stock.
Mr. Taylor's attempt to defeat the mer
ger took the form of a petition seeking to
enjoin the Pullman Palace Car Company
from giving to stockholders of the Wag
ner Company 200.000 shares in the consoli
dated concern, these being valued at 520,
000.000. His action was taken following
the meeting of December 5. 1S99. when the
Pullman Company agreed to purchase the
Wngner Company's entire equipment1 and
business, to change the name of the ex
panded corporation to the Pullman Com
pany, and to increase tho stock from $51.
000,000 to 574.000,000. So many arguments
were advanced by the petitioner that
Judge Tuley felt the need of much timo
properly to consider the matter, and has
devoted all possible attention to it during
the past two years. His decision In al
most every point is against Mr. Taylor.
Mr. Taylor alleges that the Pullman
people had no right under the laws of
the Nation and slate to buy the Wagner
Company. He said that the company was
endeavoring to create a trust and monop
oly In the sleeping and parlor car busi
ness of the country, and preparing to limit
and reduce the operation and number of
cars and to regulate prices. He further
alleges that the Wagner Company had
not the right to dispose of its property
under the laws of New York, as It would
thus disable Itself from performing the
duties for which It was organized.
In regard to the "anti-trust" arguments
made In. tho petition and enlarged upon
by counsel. Judge Tuley held that tho
transaction by which the two companies
became one was practically analogous to
the ordinary business transactions of one
man buying out the business of another.
Trade Disappointing: to England.

trade of the British colonies, which has

"The main lesson of the return Is only

by England with her colonies Is too often
smaller than it should be. In regard to
Canada It Is only natural that her chief

Not the house, however fine it may be;
not its furniture, pictures and appoint
ments. The wife and mother makes the
home, and to speak cf going home
means to go back into the shelter of the
mother's love and care.
And when womanly ills sap the .
mother's strength, the home-life suffers.
The food is not cooked as she cooks it.
Everywhere the
lack of wifely
supervision and
motherly thought
fulness is apparent.
What a change,
then, "when this
wife and mother
comes back to take
her old place in the
family. Thousands
of women who, be
cause of womanly
ills, had been shut
out of home life

ness, have been

place in the family after being cured by
