M E S S E N G E R IS K IL L E D Senata Likely to Taka Drastic Steps Against Castro. Washington, April I . — The long ex pected correspondence lietween Amer- I ica and Venezuela respecting pending American claims against the latter I country was submitted to the senate yesterday, and is almost certain to I create a profound impression. It will I be difficult to digest the mass of mater ial which Secretary Root has placed before congress but even a cursory in spection of the documents makes it e\ I- dent that negotiations have reached a critical phase. The president’s realiz ation of the fact is shown by his trans mission of the matter to the senate without any comment regarding the correspondence, and especially Secre tary Root’s strong presentation of the American case, as sufficient instantly to enlist the attention of congress. All the correspondence and docu ments were referred to the senate com- mitee on foreign relations. Mr. Root will appear before the committee today, ostensibly to discuss some of the trea ties negotiated at The Hague, but it is expecetd he will take up the Venezuelan affair and suggest some action. Those members of the committee who have already familiarized themselves with the situation have arranged tenta tively a program which consists of three propositions, ss follows: Place a prohibitive tariff on Venezu elan coffee, the exports of which consti tute 45 per cent of the entire foreign trade, and 90 per cent of the coffee be ing taken by the United 8tates. Exclude all importations of asphalt from Lake Bermudez, the product of which is taken almost entirely by the United States. Authorize the president to exercise the general power vested in him to take whatever steps be may consider neces sary to treat with Venezuela in the fu ture. Robbers Then Loot Express Safes of Valuables. Newton, Kan., March 31.— A. D. Bailey, an express messenger of the Wells-Fargo coitipany, was killed by an unknown person on Santa Fe train No. 115, between Florence and Newton, early Sunday morning. The murder waH very brutal, with robbery as the object. Both the local and the through sales were ransacked and at least $1,- 000 in money and some jewelry taken. The amount the robbers secured is not knowu. The dead body of Messenger Bailey was found at 4 o’clock Sunday morning when the train reached Newton. It was stretched on the floor ot the car, the head beaten to a pulp and lying in a pool of bluod. The liack of the skull wa9 crushed and the end of the car where it was lying was spattered with blood. The plood spatters reaohed to the ceiling. There was no evidence of any strug gle, the indications pointing to the commission of the murder while the messenger was asleep, before he could offer resistance. Bailey was seen alive at Strong City. At Peabody someone opened the car door jnst enough to throw out a package1 of waybills and then doted it quickly. The custom of the messenger has been to go to s'eep soon after leaving Flor ence and it is possible that he did this Sunday night. After being struck while sleeping, and rendered uncon scious, his body rolled to the floor, and the robber, after beating him on the head, covered it with the dead man's coat. One blow was struck at the man’s face with some sharp Instrument, apparently a hatchet, which broke the jaw bone. From the dead man’s pock ets the keys were removed and the safes ransacked. Then the keys were put back into Bailey’s overcoat, the coat folded and put in his grip, where it was found later.
