G0VERM1ENT IS CRITiaSED By President Andrews of Ne braska University i ADMINISTRATION'S COURSE On Venezuelan Question Snubs -Our Money Decline and Lowers Prestige SAYS GERMANY AND ENGLAND HAVE BEEN WAITING THIS OP PORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE TER RITORY. IN VENEZUELA AND WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. DENVER, Col.. Dec. 18. In an In terview published today. Dr. E. Ben jamin Andrews, president of the Ne braska University, .who lectured In thlsf city this evening on I "Socialism.T criticised the course of the admlnis traton. in Washington on the Venezu elan question. "I feel with most peo ple," said Dr. Andrews,1 "that" the money decline has received a fearful snub and our prestige has been lower ed. Germany and England have been lying low for just this opportunity. Of course, these nations will say they do rot want to acquire any territory, and it is probable that England did not want any territory in India or Egypt, but he has succeeded, and her control is absolute. Both England and Ger many have secured a foothold in Vene zuela, and they have apparently come to-stay. The administration should nave sent out a warning such as G ro ver Cleveland Issued under circum stances similar-to those that now hu miliate us." f Depression Causes Anxiety. ' W New York, Dec. 18. Measured by to day's advance in prices, the strained situation in Venezuela has been the cause of much more uneasiness than was suspected in Wall street. , The depressing effect of this influence has served to hold back the market from its natural recovery, which was due after the action taken by the bankers pool on Monday to insure the money market from any violent crisis, f , f: ..'-.?.; Canteen Law Blamed.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1&. The En glish tramp steamerj Ellerie has been Chartered by the United States Gov ernment to carry supplies from Port land to ; Manila. P. I. The announce ment is surprising, lii view of the fact that there are at least vessels belong ing to the Government lying idle: In this harbor. The Meade, Sumner and Cook are all available for Government service. The Meade la in port and will be used as a apare ship. The Sumner is also In port, and will be turned over to the naval authorities. The Ellerie arrived from Newcastle. Australia, last Monday night, and J row discharging coal at the wharf, Mission No. 2. In a few days she will proceed to Portland. The explanation of her being chartered t" the Govern ment Is that she Is specially fitted to carry supplies, such as forage, for which the transports here are not suit able. The transports, except the Dix, have. been fitted to carry -soldiers, and the Ellerie is a big. roomy freighter. (The EIleH. w chartered several weeks ago to carry the second: install ment of 8,M0,00 feet of lumber sold to the Government by local exporters. The steamer Quito, hence a few days ego, carried the first installment, which amounted to 2,500.000 feet. The Ellerie wilt come consigned to James Laidlow i& Co, her local agents). .

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. Secretary Root today gave a hearing to Mr. Windsor. president of the Boston Steamship Company. He advocated the acceptance of the bid of that com pany for the transportation of troops and military supplies . between the United States and Che Philippines by way vt Seattle. In' view of the fact that the: Secretary had objected to the stipulation in the bid that the company should be (granted three-fourths of the Government business across the Pacific Windsfindlcated his -willingness to waive that stipulation.

' TO TAX DANCES PROHIBITIVE LICENSE FOR PUB- I LIC BALLS IN TOWN'OF MILTON. MILTON, Or., Dec. 18. With a vic tory won over the saloons, dancing Is now to be prohibited in Milton. It is reported that at a meeting of the city council, to be held next Monday nffeht, an ordinance wilt be passed assessing dances in the new Opera. House at $25 each, a figure designed ' to prohibit their being held at all. . The move Is the most radical and sensational ever proposed here, a$d coining in the face of the fact that the Commercial clubhouse will probably close down shortly, it makes the anti temperance element vfmder what step will be taken next. ' Colonel C. J. I toit, the fervid tem perance lecturer, whose exhortations aroused the ladles of Milton to acts unprecedented even in this temperance town, is said to be responsible for the proposed regime of no public dancing. Colonel Holt lectured here three weeks, afternoons and evenings, and in ' the course of his heated dissertations against the "dancing erll,, said, it Is alleged, that the girls dancing in the public . dances of Milton today would in a year b ruined. Anyway, as a re suit of his lectures, dancing is pretty nearly classed with drunkenness in Milton, and steps .are to be taken to prohibit it, at least fn public. The question Is being raised wheth er the council can enforce an' ordin ance assessing public darfces a. prohib itive amount, or any amount for that matter. A Telegram correspondent In terviewed a county prosecuting attor ney on the matter, and the opinion was rendered that It was probably not with in the Jurisdiction of city, county or state to stop. or tax a gathering of peo ple who had assembled to amuse them selves in a harmless way that did not disturb the peace.- Whether It would tie possible t ircumvent this by a Council decree that , dancing is not harmless is not known. ' Just where the moral war will end in Milton la not clearly apparent. Her man Hesnei, of Wt on. leaee of the Mrs. Rose building in which the Com mercial and Social Club holds its ses sions. Is said to be about to close the doora of this noted Institution. The Club was established to act as a sort of wedge for a saloon. The Idea was thatyf the people became accustomed to a clubhouse dispensing liquor with out a license, it would grow to prefer a licensed saloon, which contributed largFlyjlo the city revenue. One thou sand dollars was offered the city coun cil of Milton fr a saloon license for one year, and the council did not even refuse It- The members and mayor laughed nt it. This was last year. The Social Club has 240 members' who pay. monthly fee e-about $2. Still the phic-e Is said not to be a very profitable venture without the freedom to sell liquor at will, and as the man ager Is Involved In a suit In ther Su preme Court at present for selling in toxicating liquor without a license, the stockholders ,of the clubhouse are en deavoring to arrange a compromise which will let the club be gracefully withdrawn It is said the council will not endeavor to put a stop to card play ing after drinking and dancing have dangl gone.

He was going to walk to Crescent City. and board the steamer there for the remainder of the Journey., While Kramer tallies Inevery par ticular to thei description of the high wayman, there are many who believe he is not -the man wanted. Jt is known positively that he was at work here on the morning of the robbery.

SHANKS WlLlTilLED ESTATE VALUED AT $5,000 DIVID ED EQUALLY AMONG TWELVE ' CHILDREN. The last will and testament of the late Abner Shanks was yesterday filed for probate In the county court. The will was executed November 5, 1834. in fhe presence of W. W. ' Hlllea ry . and Edgar Hartley. , T1- .. The testator nominates his two sons, Daniet Shanks and James S. Shanks, as executors of the will to serve as auch without bonds, and the estate, amounting to about $.",000, Is dlvidea iuany among bis twelve children. The will Is rather unique, in that. It was written out with pen and Ink by Mr. Shanks after his eightieth birth day. The fact that the estate Is di vided equally among his twelve sons and daughters shows that the father had confidence In his children to abide i by his decision, for while the document would not be called a brilliant success by a lawyer, the terms are in , plain English, which the testator knew the beneficiaries could understand, and this i probably all he cared for.
