It Says "It Is High Time For the American National Nation to Know President's Real Ambition, Whether That of Friend or Dictator." CARACAS, March 29. -The day following the publication of the dip lomatic correspondence regarding the violation of the mail pouches of the U. S, Str. Tacoma, President Castro's official organ, F, Cotntricional pub lished an editorial nccuning Presi dent Roosevelt of "searching from light incident! out of which to create a conflict with Venezuela," and of having a "premeditated plan." It ys: "It it tiossiblc that Minister Rut. ell could have written his note to our foreign office without having a preconceived and premediatcd inten tion to attribute to a dimple act, without responsibility to the post , office in La Cuaira, intentions which do not exist and to prejudge the act as serious for the government-of the U. S. is to have a premeditated plan which ought not to originate, be cause it cannot, from the actual American minister in Caracas VV. W. Russell. "From where then can originate the idea of searching for slight inci dents to create a conflict with Vcne lucla? From the chief of this lega ction who is connected with the sec retary of state in Washington and who in turn cannot but be under the direction of President Roosevelt." Saying that it is high time for the American nation to know President Roosevelt s real ambition, whether that of a friend or a dictator, the edi torial continues: "If the inspiration of Roosevelt, president of the U. S. against the traditions which compose the union of the Americans among themselves has as a basis the abdication of the territorial sovereignty of this people or the nullity of their codes just be cause of the pretensions of a few citizens who do not and cannot re present the will of the American peo ple, it is then high time that this hor rible truth be known and that the people of the New world know whether in the government of the U. S. they have a friend or a capricious dictator. If the first, Venezuela is the most respectful of all to the dict ates of honor and friendship; if the second it should be known for all that Venezuela assumes the pcrter- After RHffesrtnpr for seven yearn, thin woma n wan restored tohcaltb by Lydia H. rink ham's Vegetable Compound.

SHIPS GUIDED INTO HARBORS By the use of a system of electric lights beneath the water, recently patented by an American inventor, the navigation of dangerous harbors and waterways may be even safer at night than in the daytime. The system consists of a water proof submarine cable with ntimcr ous floating branches connected at suitable Intervals, to which are at tached incandescent electric lamps fitted with reflectors to concentrate the light into parallel beams. The whole system is designed to with stand the pressure and corrosive ac tion of sea water, and the lamp re flectors are made sufficiently buoy ant to maintain an upright position. The cable thus equipped is laid in position in the waterway to be light ed up and connected with a source of electric supply on shore.

THE COOK IN THE NAVY. , In order to prevent good food be ing spoiled by poor cooks, the naval department has recently established a school at Newport, R. I., for ships' cooks and bakers, says Popular Me chanics in its April number. It is the purpose to send to this school all men recruited as cooks or bakers. In addition, men already in the ser vice, who want to become cooks, and can show some fitness, will be sent to the school In limited numbers. The school will be equipped with electrically driven meat choppers, large bake ovens, coffee urns hold ing 50 gal., mechanical dishwashers, cold storage, dough-mixing machines, and several ranges, sufficient to pre pare a meal for three or four hundred men. It will be on the same plan as the galley on board a battleship, The instruction will last for four or five months, and will be under the super vision of a chef, while a first-class ship's cook will be in charge of each galley.

WASHINGTON NOTES ..t -( H I xirrHy ft '' Proposal to Create (Tariff Com mission to Gather Facts. THE FINANCIAL LEGISLATION The Progress Secretary Taft is Mak ing With His Candidacy Admits of no Other Conclusion But That he Will be Nominated at Chicago Washington, April 8 The policy of the majority in Congress so far has been one of "masterly inactivity," no new policy for a dominant party, by the way, in the face ot a national campaign. IThc President himself some time ago announced his ac quiescence in the program of letting the tariff question go over until after the inauguration of a new administra tion, and the proposals now pending before Congress in this regard all re late to tthe creation of a tariff com mission to gather facts and make rec ommendations to Congress. Senator La Follctte and Senator Bcvcridge have both introduced bills looking to such an authorization by Congress. A counter proposal, originating in the Ways and Means committee of the House, which is exceedingly jealous of s its constitutional prerogative of originating all revenue legislation, Is that the committees in the Mouse and Senate having to do with the framing of a tariff law, shall employ experts and proceed soon after the adjournment of Congress to the con duct of an investigation along these lines, It is not unlikely that in the end this is as radical a course as the majority in Congress will adopt. In the long run it may be quite as con ducive to early action, as the legal power to originate such legislation lies in Congress, and the report of a commission of experts created with- out the sanction of the members of the Ways and Means committee in the House and the Finance committee in the Senate, would probably have short shrift at the hands of these two bodies, That tariff revision, or tariff "ad justment," as one of Speaker Can non's conventions out in Illinois puts it, will be had at the hands of the Republican party, if it shall be in power after the 4th of next March, and at the hands of both parties, if responsibility is divided after that time, is now accepted as a certainty. Republican leaders are apparently agreed that there shall be a declara tion in the Republican national plat form in favor of tariff revision at a special session of Congress to be cal led immediately after the inaugura tion of the next President, should he be a Republican. As for the Demo cratic declaration on this subject, it is expected to hark back to the ring ing pronouncement of the 1884 plat form, and to call not for readjustment or revision, but for complete recon struction along revenue lines, with in cidental potection. As for financial legislation it still seems probable that the AUIrich bill, in one torm or another, perhaps quite another, after the House gets through with it, will pass. No one claims for this bill that it is more than temporarily remedial, while Senator La Follette sees in the measure a sur render to "the interests" on the part of those responsible for framing it. Senator La Follette declares that the bill is directly in the interests of what he calls "the system," and that it is calculated to inure to the advantage of the hundred captains of finance, whom he names as being in control of the industrial situation, and not to the benefit of the masses who carried inc real ourucn ot tne recent tinan cial panic. What relation this attit tude may bear to the rumored pos sibility of Senator La Follette's nom ination for the presidency on the In dependence League Ticket, is an in teresting subject for speculation. The report that Senator La Follette was being groomed by Mr. Hearst came from Senator, Aldrich, immediately following a conference-at the White House on the Aldrich bill, and the Wisconsin .Senator in making , re joiner to the rumor, referred to the place of orig'n of the story with such a show of spirit as to start, the poli tical dopesters to work figuring out the exact relation, of Senator La Fol lette to the nex presidential cam paign. It is. stated that Senator La Follctte, while reconciled to the sec ond elective term proposal, is exceed- ingyl hostile to the nomination of Taft, believing that he is too much in Gamiff Coal lN"bW Ready j For vDeliveryiatv5.QO Per Ton ' 'AT THE CALtENDEK NAVIGATION C.

Despite the hammering of the op position the Taft managers continue confident, and are able to make arith-, matical demonstration, which is at least satisfactory to them of the ccr-: tainty of Secretary Taft's nomination for President on an early ballot: they agree that it must be on an early bal- ' lot or the success of the War Secre tary will be seriously endangered. The success which the managers of the Taft campaign have had in at tracting to the support of the Secre tary's candidacy elements which were not long ago deemed hostile, and im possible of amalgamation with the j Taft movement, is indicated by the flat-footed declaration of George B. j Cox, of Cincinati, who has just been in Washington, in favor of the Taft 'candidacy. In a statement given out here Mr. Cox said: "The progress Secretary Taft is making with his candidacy admits of no other conclu sion but that he will be nominated and elected, and is indisputable evi dence of his strength with the rank and file of the Republican party. The manner in which his candidacy ap peals to the people demonstrates to I mi tnirwl flint Viaip want him fnr ttip Presidential succession." The conversion of Cox, who since the death of the late Matthew S. Quay, is perhaps the most conspicu ous and successful "boss" in Ameri can politics, is looked upon as a piece of political fine work indicative of the shrewdness with which the political affairs of Secretary Taft are being managed. Less than eighteen months ago Secretary Taft made his famous speech at Akron, Ohio, de nouncing the big Ohio boss and ad vising the people of Hamilton coun ty. The advice was taken, resulting not only in the overthrow of Cox, but the election of a Democratic Gov ernor in Ohio. This demonstrated to Cox the strength of the new wing of the party in Ohio, headed by Sec retary Taft and his brother, Charles P. Taft, of Cincinnati, and he was quite ready to make terms. A few months ago he began to soften to ward the Taft candidacy and his identification with the Taft movement became complete. Cox was eulogi zed in a public address by Charles P. Taft, the Secretary's brother, as a "distinguished leader" of the party in Ohio. At the recent Ohio State conven tion the Taft program went through without a hitch, and the terms of the working agreement between the Taft and Cox wings of the party became apparent when Cox and his friends named every important candidate on the State ticket, excepting the Gov ernor and Lieutenant Governor. The Toledo "Blade," heretofore a staunch Taft organ, and many other Republi can newspapers in Ohio, are in revolt against what they are inclined to de nounce as a "corrupt deal" but the Taft leaders in Ohio insist that ar rangements' of this kind are old in Ohio politics and are a legitimate part of the big game. In his inter-1 views here, Mr. Cox stated that the nominees dictated by him and his ; friends, are good men, and that they will not be .withdrawn from the ticket. He scouts the idea that the labor vote ; will oppose Taft, but says' that it will divide on party lines,, as usual: he thinks, too, that the opposition of the Fisher Brothers Company SOLE AGENTS ' Barbour and Finlayson Salmon Twins and Netting McCormick Harvesting Machines Oliver Chilled Ploughs Malthoid Roofing Sharpies Cream Separator Raecolith Flooring Storrett's Tools Hardware, Groceries, Ship Chandlery Tan Bark, Blue Stone, Muriatic Acid, Welch Coal, Tar, Ash Oars, Oak Lumber, Pipe and Fittings, Brass ' Goods, Paints, Oils and Glass Fishermen's Pure Manilla Rope, Cotton Twine and Seine Web ; We Want Your Trade FISHER BROS. " BOND negro vote to the War Secretary has been greatly exaggerated. It is also agreed that some exceed ingly clever work has been done by some one in bringing about the changed attitude of the big men of the financial world toward the Taft candidacy. Originally lined up for Hughes, most of the financial big guns are now known to be in pretty close sympathy and accord with the Taft movement. To Myron T.
