in Venezuela has awakened the most apathetic of the critics to the gravity of the situation which In developing in that country, and the demanda that the Government present the official papers in the matter to Parliament are now most insistent.It is understood that the papers will be issued to-day, or Wednesday at the latest., Ttaly's active entrance upo is not believed to simplif Be situation.Special despatches from Rome assert that Signor Riva, the Italian Minister to Vene ruela, presented the Italian ultimatum at Caracas on Saturday.The time set for an answer to this ultimatum\u2019 expi Sunday, and, according to the Rome despatches, Signor Riva has already embarked on the Italian cruiser Giovanni Bausan.Signor Rivas two daughters had a narrow escape the scene from maltreatment from the ulace.This news cannot be confirmed from other sources.Ît 18 raid that ing to the fact of the Malin cruiser Carlo berto being ice-boend, the cruiser Ligaria been or- derrd to proceed for Venezuela.Italy will thus have tour or five warships on the spot to ro-operate with the British and German warships, ost ol the morning newspapers consider that the bombardment of \u201cthe fortress at Puerto Cabello puts all likelihood of arbitration or any pacific settlement of the difficulty entirely out of the question, and they begin to ilk seriously of the difficulty of enforcing payment of the demands should President (astro decide to defy the powers and retire to the interior of the country.Realizing that a prolonged blockade or bostilities would endanger the interests, and perhaps the lives of foreign people in Vene- gucla, papers are beginning to ask whether the Government has not acted over- astuly.WASHINGTON WATCHING COURSE OF EVENTS.WASHINGTON,

__ THE State Department at 3,22 o\u2019clock Sunday morning, Minister Bowen said that the situation at the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, was much quieter.The great excile- ment at the outset of the affair, he said, was caused by the precipitate flight of the British and an ministers, the arrest of she subjects of those two nativus, and the seizure of the Venezuelan gunboats tirst declaring a blockade, thus causing people to fear a bombardment would follow at once.CARACAS, December 13.\u2014 A mote from the commanders of the allied Anglo-German fleet, which the Venezuelan Government refused to receive on Friday at La Guaira, was sent on Saturday to the United States Minister at Caracas, and forwarded by him to the proper Government official here.The note is in the name of Great Britain and Germany.It requests all Venezuelan ships, after the lapse of five days, to refrain from sading from the port of La Guaira until the present ditficui- ties are over.\u201cEl Mocho,\u201d Hermandez and certain other revolutionary leaders leit Maracaibo for Curacoa on their way to Caracas.Hermandez 1s possibly the most popular of the revolutionary leaders.President Castro has kept him imprwsoned at Maracaibo for several years past.The news of the shelling of the fortress and custom house at Puerto Cabello on Saturday afternoon by the British cruiser Charybdis, and the German cruiser Vineta, reached Caracas, at a late hour at night, It cauged considerable excitement In spite of the preventive measures taken by the px lice of Puerto Cabello, trouble 1s feared there.The arrival of the United States gunboat Marietta at la Guaira on Friday was due to a rumour that United States Minister Bowen was in danger.\u2018There has been no ground for such a rumour, and the presence of the Marwtta was not requested by Mr.Bowen.The situation here continues to be critical, and there is much excitement among the German residents of l'aracas, many or whom have called at the American Legation to seek refuge.The people of Caracas are astonished that the Government at \\Vashtngton remains si- Jent in spite of the recent act of the allied cet.The eunlistinent of Veneruelan

ignorance of elec toral inanoeuvres was the same as getual participation in them.In support of this he quoted the remarks of the judges in the South Grev case, where the respondent s ageut bad destroyed the vouchers.and in the London vase.where the candidate had pard out large sums of money, but had stipulated he was to know nothing of ther method of use.In the Chambly election

Gibean, a hotel keeper.tor the board.lodging, drinks and cigars.as well as the travelling expenses of speakers brought to the county in favour of Mr.Jodoin.Mr.Prefontaine had admitted having kept a detail in a little book which he had destroyed, and the hotel keeper had declared that he had ren: dered an account to Mr.Prefontaine, who in turn had shown it to Mr.Jodoin, but at the trial none of them could remember any ot the details.and for that reason the élection was annulled and the member digqualitied.ENGLISH LAW MUST APPLY.Mr.F.des.Bastien who followed argued that English law and Engbsh jur.sprudence must apply.The legal presumpuon was that a camhdate who paid out nwney without controlung the expenditure ana without making huote of it in hws election rexurns dt out for acts of corrupuon.Brault made, by respondent s orders, illegal payments, since all payments must be ordered by the legai agent, whereas in the present case they hau been oruered by Ar thur Brunet, Fontaine aml others.When the telegraphers were being paid, the money ran out.Brault sent to Joseph Bru net for a further amount.and wnen the crowd rushing mm to Le pad got so rough that they could not be managed.Brault, according to respondent Brunet evidence, had telephoned to respondent to have the police sent up.\u2018Then Arthur Brunet, who has bis oflice in the same suite as rempond- ent, was so annoyed by telegraphers looking for their money that he had to call detectives to protect him.ls it to be sup posed, under the circumstances, that the re spondent did not know that telegraphers were beng paid with the money he had given Brault for the clection?He had never protested against these payments and, therefore, the legal presumption is that he authonized them.ARGUMENT FOR MR.BRUNKT.Mr.Solomon Roy opened the argument for Mr.Brunet with the statement that there had been much exaggeration.It had been raid that $2500 had .been spent.For a | omy division, with over 12,000 voters on the hat, that was a remarkably small sum.It cost a lot of money to carry on an elec tion.The Court\u2014\u201cThen you do not share the opinion of Mr.Brunet's legal agent that an election might be carried on for 98.50?\u201d Mr.Roy\u2014''No, Your Lordships, I must confess that I do not poesess that neve candor.\u201d .Proceeding.Mr.Roy sad they must all deplore the lesrful irregularities that had been comnutted in poll 37.None regretted them more than dd the respondent.One party to the case could reproach the other, overer.for if Mr.\"Ton's representa- \u2018ive had done hie duty.:t would not have been possible to commit the fraude.Mr.Ber geron, however, could not be blamed for that.It simply went to show that in a hig tlertion it wae difficult to avoid having un reliable le mn some of the polis He arbued, however, that the frauds proved made a difference of less than two hundred.and therefore a majority of 647 could not be thus overturned Jt was unrcasonable to ask the court to annul an election when the respondent.by lis populanty had, despite adverse influences within hw own party, rolled up a majority of over six hundiad votes.To win an election a candidate must not kneel dowt and pray He must get out and work and canvass.He inust spend money organir- ing committees, and doing necessary work, provided Tor by the Election Act.No syn tem of telegraphs had been proved, and there was nothing to connect Mr.Brunet with the telegraphing which had been proved.Mr rault was really the agent of the candidate.and though there may he a shght irregularity in the method ef pro- redure, 1t was not sufficient to void the election.As a lawyer he had a right to hope that in the present case his views would pre va), though bis opinion was contrary to that of most other people.Mr.Philippe Roy, K.(.,.M.L.A_.continued the argument.He recalled that many who had overturned the constitution ha! afterwards become popular heroes.The election Jaw was a part of the constituiaon.and while they all deplored the acts of irresponsible young men in the present case, he did not believe that there was rufficient evia- ence to annul the election.He then argued that no extensive system of tele- x Coughs, colds, koarsengems, .throat silments are quickly Vapo-Cresoline tablets, tsa cents All drugzisls.: graphing had been proved, and that no agency had been shown on the part of those who had committed the frauds.Mr.Bisaillon replied that he was iu pos- sesaion of evidence to show the existenc: of four squads of telegraphers like that already proved to have existed.He had not produced further previ, because the court had mtimated that no more was needed.As tu the agency.the respoudent had admitted gnvang the money to Brault, aud the latter

shot upwards without a moment's warning, and with such velocity that Mr.Cote, the chief clerk.who was in the hotel office at the time wax only able to nerze the cash drawer apd his cap and rush out to the street.An elevator was being placed im the building and up the shaft rushed the flames to the top of the hotel 10 less time than rt takes to tell it.People living across the street report that they saw flames bursting almost simultancously .from the base ment and the upper windows of the build: ing.There were about forty guests in the hotel, and it is hoped that all escaped.They all lost whatever belongings they had with them.and many of them had narrow es.capeses for their lives.Some escaped to the root of a rear building, while others were taken down un ladders from the roof.Much woodwork existed about the build: ing.aud almost as soon as the fire started, flames were shooting cut through the roof and from all the windows of the hotel.The wind waited these lames so strongly

COMMISSION.Men From Baer\u2019s Mine on the Stand Saturday.a SCRANTON.Pa, December 15.The niners called witnesses Saturday before the Anthracite Coal Strike Commussion to testify to the conditions exist at the colleres of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company.These were the first persons to appear against the com: pany, of which George F.Baer 1s the head and considerable interest was mamfested ea to the character of the evidence the miners would present.Eight witnesses were called and the pnncipal grievance presented was that some men who went on strike were discriminated against President Mitrhell's testimony related prin cipally to the manner in which he com puted the averages he gave Friday.mn which he showed that bituminous men received from 40 to 50 per cent.more wages than the anthracite miners.Coun rel for the Delaware and Hudson disputed Mitchell's method of arriving at the aver ages.READING, Pa.December 15.\u2014 The Reading Company is taxed to its utmost to keep the coal traffic moving.Up to Baturday night the company transported about 10,500 cars of coal for the past week or nearly 325,000 tons.All the collieries are working to their full capeity.Never before in the bistory of the anthracite re gions has there been such activity.Soft coal is becoming scarge and the ion any is having a hard time in getti a full supply.Cochenthaler Can Suit You.One of the mottoes long since ado by Mr.M.Cochenthaler, 140 Nt.pied street, in that value for money spent brings back the customer.That is why Mr.Cechenthaler has the same customers year after year.When once a purchaser buys from him he is sure of his future businemn, and so it comes that there are few better known jewellery stores in this country than that controlled by Mr.Cochenthaler.Just now, when people are wondering what to for Christmas presenta they should drop into 149 St.James street see the astonishing collection of goode that have been specially prepared for this trade.In most cases where the collection is the larg- ert it is proportionately hard to make a selection, but Mr.Cochenthaler has long since learmed the art of suiting thé buyer without «a sad waste of time that comes with every gift-necking nenson.lt is absolutely useless to try and give anything like an idea of the variety of that are to be found in the Cochenthaler establishment.When one refers to the quality it is an essy matter, for there is only one quality\u2014the best t money can buy in each division of the business.Just now specialty is being made of diamonds, and y it Would aeem that the days are gone by when only the rich can afford the pretty apa gems are coveted b all.Diamonds ean be te mu cheaper in Canada than tbey can in the United States that le from across the border come here in great numbers for their diamonds, and Cochenthaler's name i» known all over the country.If such expensive a style of present is not wanted, there is a collection of goods ranging from à few cents to a few dollare that includes such a variety that there is no fear of going to the store and coming sway unsatis- ed.The stock of silverware and plated ware that Mr.Cochenthaler has on hand {ist pow is ane of the finest ever seen in treal, and in fancy articles fit for ladies and gentlemen's toilet tables there is \u2018a cailedtion that beats all previous
