He placed bis resignation of the Presidency of the Republic of Venezuela In the bands of tbe President of Congress, after reading the Presidential message and banded over the rxerclse of the Presidential functions to the President of Congress. Tbe Venezuelan Congress, by a unanimous vote, declined to accept President Castro's resignation, and passed a resolution requesting him to reconsider bis decision. delegation appointed by Congress called at tbe President's residence. Mlraflores Pilace. ami transmitted to President Castro tbe resolution adopted by Congress. President Castro, in reply. declined to change his mind, but. ifter being urged by bis personal friends, he offered to present another message to Congress, to give a solution to the situation. In tbe ordinary course of events President Castro's term would have ?nded February 20. 11)06. He was ^ected President of Venezuela, in February of last year for si* years, beginning February 20. 1902. He bad >een elected Provisional President of Venezuela on March 30, 1001, by tbe Sonstltuant Assembly. Senor Castro, when tbe Presidency :banged bands some time previous to .hat date, bad proclaimed himself President, and the United States Government In November, 1809, bad oflcially recognized the de facto Government headed by him. The action of the Constituant Aslembly legalized hla position and Inrested blm with the full powers of a Presidential ruler to the limit of Its intborlty. Up to that time, while >elng generally recognised as President >f Venezuela, be had In reality been limply dictator of the republic. A rear later, as already stated, the Venetuelan Congress ratified his election ind regularly Installed blm as Prcsl* lent of Venezuela for a term of six rears, dating from February 20. 1902. Wben President Castro was Intpr rlewed January 3 regarding the report then current tbat be intended to abdicate or resign the Presidency of Venezuela be made the following reply: "You are at liberty to cir that I bare fought during two years to retain the Bupreme power which was rested in me by the people of Venezuela. I will uo more abdicate than I irlll resign." Opinion In WnbiiftM. Washington. D. C.?President Casrro's resignation came in for a good ileal of discussion in Governmental riod diplomatic circles. The general sentiment of persons conversant with South American affairs seems to he tbat the President's action Is merely l political move, having for its object i declaration from Congress of Its nnltcd and hearty support. It Is not thought tbat Castro has any serious idea of giving up bis office permanently. Some manifestation of confidence. It Is suggested, was necessary in view )T conditions existing in kdf?ubib, trifling. It might be. oat of the extraorUnary import duties levied by Castro ibout a month ngo, nnd the effect of the revolution through which the country has been passing. AMERICAN FALL GOES DRY.

A REPLY TO ARGENTINE Secretary Hay Non-Committal on Colleotion of Debts bj Force. Bat Hopes That All I)l?pnte? May Be Left to the Decision of aa Arbitral Tribunal. Washington. D. C.?The State Department has made public Secretary Hay's memorandum In answer to the expressed desire of the Argentine Re |#UUilU IVl LAIC WJMUIUU ui lUt? U 111 It'll Strtes concerning the Justice of the adoption by strong nations of forcible methods in collecting national and private debts from weak nations. The note of the Argentine Government was inspired by the coercive measures of England. Germany and Italy against Venezuela, for which strong disapprobation was expressed. Mr. Hay's response was somewhat non-committal, but be made it clear that the United States Government boped that all such disputes between nations would be adjusted by arbitration. The memorandum follows: Without expressing assent to or dissent from the propositions ably set forth in the note of the Argentine Minister of Foreign Relations, dated December 20. 1002. the general position of the United States in the matter is indicated in recent messages of the President The President declared in his message to Congress. December 3. 1001. that, by the Monroe Doctrine, "we do not guarantee any State against punishment if it misconducts itself, provided that punishment does not take the form of the acquisition of territory by any non-American Power." In harmony with the foregoing language the President announced in his message of December 2,1902: "No independent nation in America need have the slightest fear of aggression from the United States. It behooves each one to maintain order within its own border* and to discbarge Its just obligations to foreigners. Vfhen this is done they can rest assu/ed that, be they strong or weak, they have nothing to dread from outside Interference." Advocating nnd adhering in practice, in questions concerning itself, to the resort of International arbitration in settlement of controversies not adjust' able by the orderly treatment of dipiomatle negotiation, the Government of the United States would always be ;;lad to see the questions of the justice of claims by one State against another growing out of individual wrongs or national obligations, as well as the guarantees for the execution of whatever award raav be made, left to the derision of an impartial arbitral trlbunal. before which the litigant nations, weak and strong alike, tnay stand as eq:ials in the eye of international law and mutual duty.

If formed into a street, with u1ood? on e*ch side, allowing twenty feet to each saloon, they would make a street 285 miles long. Let us imagine them brought together in such a street, and let us suppose that the moderate drinkers ao4 their tamilies are marchina in at the upper end, and let us sec* what that street turns out in one year. What army is that which comes marching dewn the street in solid columns, five abreast, extending 570 miles? It is the army of 5,000,000 men and women, who daily and constantly go to saloons for intoxicating drink* 11 a bercraae. Marching twenty miles a day. it will taxe them more than twenty-eight days to go by. Now they are gone, and cloae in their rear comes another army, marching five abreast and sixty miles in length. In it there are 530,000 confirmed drunkards. They are men and women who hare lost control of their appetites, who are ia the regular habit of getting drunk and making oeasis or themselves. Marching two abryest the army is 150 miles ia length. Scan them closely. There are gray haired men and fair haired boya. There are. alas! many women in that army, sunk to deeper depths than the me a, because of the (Tester height* from which ther fell. It will take them seven days to so by. It is a sad and sickening sight, bat do uot tarn swsjr yet, for here comes another army, 100,000 criminals. From jails and prisoos and penitentiaries they come. At the heed of the Army comes a long line of persons whose hands are besmesred with human blood. With ropes around their necks, they are on their way to the gallows. Others are ;oing to prison for life. Erery crime knows to oar laws has been committed be these persons while under the infloence of drink. Bat hark!

One hundred thousand who bare died the dntnkard'a death are being carried to their grarce. Drunkards do not bare many friends to mourn their loss, and we can pat thirty of their funeral processions into a mile. We Km thna l nmMaaim UM nilaa U??tk It will take a good share of the year for them to co by, for funeral procsesrinna move slowly. Look into the coffin* as they go by. See the dead drunkards. Some died of delirium tremens, and the lines of terror are still plainly marked on their faces Some froze to death by the roadtide, too drunk to reach their homes; soma tumb.\?d from the wharf and wer> drowned: some wandered into the wood* and died; some blew their brains oat; some were fearfully stabbed in drunken brawls; some were roasted in burning buildings; some were crushed to shapeless masses under the ears. They died in various ways, but strong drink killed them all, and on their tombstones?if they bar* any?mar be fitly inscribed, "He died a ; drunkard's death. I Close behind them comes another long I line of funeral processions?we know nog j how rrany?but the/ are more numerously attended by mourning friends. They contain the remains of those who have met death through carelessness and cruelty of drunken men. Some died of a broken heart; some were foully murdered; soma were burned to dcalh m building set oa i tire by drunken men; some were horribly j mangled on the railroad because of drunk* en engineer* or flagmen; some were blown j up on a ateamboat because a dru&ken cap* ; tain ran a race with a rival boat. i But here come* another army?the chilj rirrn. innocent ones, upon whom have been ! visited the iniquities of their fathers. How many are there? Two hundred thousand. Marching two abreaat. they extend up tb? street thirty milea. Each one muat bear through life the atigma of being a drunkard's child. They are reduced to poverty, ! want and beggary. They live in ignoranc* j and vice. Some of the children are mousing with hunger, and aome are shivering 1 with the cold, for they have not enough 1 rags to keep them warm. A large number j of them are idiots, made so before they | were born by brutal drunken fathers, ana v>rse than all the rest many of them hav* I inherited a love for liquor, and are crowing ! up to take the places and do the deeds of 1 their fathers. They will fill the ranks of j the awful army of drunkards that move in j unbroken columns down to death. It has I taken nearly a year for the street to empty I itself of its vear'a work, and close in th* , rear cornea the vanguard of the ne2t year's ' aupplv. And if this ia what liquor doea in our land in one year, what must be its results in the world through the long century? OrankaMi Classed as Lmtlef. They passed a law in Iowa last year permitting the confinement of confirmed drunkards in lunatic asylums. It made ut; tic stir, but within eight months 300 a!co1 holic patients were under restraint and 1 treatment. An Iowa dispatch says that 1 inebriates continue to flow into the Stat* asylums at the rate of al>out fifty a month, and that an Iowa court has just ruled thai their constitutional right* are not violated by their detention. Some of the inebriates don't like to be nhut up. but the treatment they get *eem? to be humane and salutary. Their liquor is stopped, and they have to work o-i farm*, anu are encouraged to ira* i prove their habits. When thev ?ccm to be i cured they are discharged, and report says j that, to far, about seventy-five per cent, of the cases have bo resulted. This seems like I excellent management of drunkards. Men i who cannot, or will not, control their | thirst ought not to be left at large to pet themsclve* and other* into mi*chief. Neither ehould thev be sent to jail. If they are irresponsible bccause of '.heir proKp?itics they should be nhut up and >ked after until they an* cured, and while un?ler rr.ttr.iint thev *hou!<l be made i to work for their living.
