London. Nov. 28. —The Associated Press learns that important steps were taken in London today with a view to satisfy ing all the financial and diplomatic claims by foreign powers and bondholders against Venezuela. It is maintained that if the contemplated action meets with approval, Germany and Great Britain will have no cause to take the vigorous steps now con templated. The details of the suggestcl settlement have not been communicated to the Eu ropean governments as yet. Their gist first will be made known to the United States government, probably tomorrow. The medium of such communication is one of the most important Anglo-Ameri can bankers. Venezuela's propositions were mentioned to Ambassador Choate today, but pending the result of the direct representations at Washington no action will be taken by the embassy towards suggesting that Venezuela be given time to submit her proposition. The new development in the crisis, which is regarded as hourly growing more serious, is due to the arrival in Eu rope of a secret delegation from the Ven ezuelan government empowered to deal with the outstanding liabilities of that republic. Until a suitable plan could be arranged it was considered inadvisable to communicate with the foreign minis ters at, Caracas, with whom relations be come so strained. Such a plan has now. in the belief of the delegation been ar rived at and unofficially, through the An glo-American banker, the attitude of the United States will be ascertained. Be sides the State Departments will be put in a position to be able to judge of the value of Venezuela’s offer and her good faith in the matter. The details of the plan which will be communicated to the State Department are care.fully guarded, but the Asso ciated Press is in a position to announce that the main feature is a unification of all the outstanding government and gov ernment guaranteed loans upon a basis of security much greater than has been hitherto offered. It is strongly denied that the present movement is due to any desire on the part of Venezuela “to spar for time” with Great Britain and Ger many. and In proof of this it is pointed out that the secret mission left Vene zuela before her relations with Great Britain and Germany had assumed the present acute aspect. Should the United States government give its moral support, the plan will be submitted to American bankers. The Venezuelan delegation believes that it is not too late to secure the necessary facilities from Europe to bring about a settlement satisfactory to all parties con cerned.

Nov. 28. —Wood and coal dealers say Wilmington is almost in the throes of a fuel panic. The re cent cold weather has developed the fact that there is very little of any kind of heating material in the city and none is obtainable, at least for the present, when it is needed most. No coal has been received here since the termina tion of the strike and the wood supply is cut short by the concentration of ail labor in this vicinity in the cross-tie and telephone pole industry. One large dealer sent a representative out this week to buy wood at almost any price, but he was forced to return with no purchases. While the situation with the wealthy and middle class of people is in no wise alarming, the jioorcr classes are beginning to feel the effect of very much higher prices and if the cold weather continues, the situation will be indeed serious.

THE RESULTS ARE SMALL Inquiries for Pig Iron Become More Urgent as the Scarcity Grows More Acute —Ccke Commands High Premiums, the Need Fxceeding Supply. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Nov. 28.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Avcek review of trade tomorrow will say: “Weather conditions haA’e pro\’ided the only important developments of the past week in the business world. Excessive rains in some sections, notably the Southwest, facilitated distribution of heavy footwear, overshoes and kindred lines, while seasonably low temperature at other points increased the movement of Avinter wearing apparel. These in fluences, together with a large Thanks giving trade in food products, stimulated retail dealings Aery materially. Jobbing and Avholesale trade is fully maintained, and manufacturing plants have orders far ahead, but in many cases the coke shortage retards operations. Railway officials are making e\’ery effort to re lieve the freight congestion, especially in the A'icinity of Pittsburg, but thus far there is little evidence of improve ment. Gross earnings are fully main tained, for November thus far exceeding last year's by 6.3, and those of 1900 by 16.4 per cent., while it is anticipated that higher freight rates Avill offset the ad \ance in wages, sustaining net earnings. “Inquiries for pig iron become more urgent as the scarcity grows more acute. Furnaces are added to the idle list when this full occupation for every plant in the countrw but the fuel shortage is not perceptibly improved. Coke commands .high premiums according to the needs of consumers, and iron is similarly held at an abnormal position by the insufficient supply. Even foreign pig iron has not arrived at specified dates, Avhile neAv orders haA’e been placed abroad Covering distant deliveries. It is fully apparent that domestic needs av!11 continue to ex ceed aA'ailable supplies for many months to come. There is still no inclination to place large orders for distant delivery of cotton goods, but a steady current demand fully absorbs the limited stocks and buyers are often compelled to hunt for desired lines of staple cloths. Print ed and Avoven patterned goods for spring are selling freely on forward busi ness. y “Failures for (he week numbered 213, against 182 last year.” Total Bank Clearings. (By the Associated Press.)

IN A WILD UPROAR TheSocialistsTurnthe Reich stag Into Bedlam. The Sitting Suspended. (By the Associated Press.) Berlin, Nov. 28.—The stormy scenes Avhich were enacted yesterday were re sumed in the Reichstag today and at one time in the proceedings the uproar reached such a pitch that V.icc-Presitlenf Buesing, Avho was in the chair, had to re sort to a suspension of the sitting, a measure Avithout precedent in the Reich stag. $ fff The House Avas discussing the motion of Baron von Kardorff, representing the mapority parties, to \’ote the second reading of the tariff bill as a whole with out a paragraph discussion as contem plated by the rules. The minority thus would be unable to delay the final vote for any length of time and were furiously in dignant at Avhat they called a “parlia mentary coup d’etat,” and the complete suppression of the rights of the minority After a quiet afternoon, Dr. Bachem, Centre rartv, took the tribune and de scribing the dilatory tactics of the op position, said that the Freissininge Vercinigung and the moderate Radicals weer doing hod-carriers’ service for the Socialists, adding: “If you only knew what has recently been said about this alliance —” Herr Bachem left the sentence unfin ished and the Socialists shouted: “Out Avith it. Name your man.” The Socialists Stadthagen, Ulrich, Baudert and other members of the party rushed up the steps of the Speaker's tribunes shouting and gesticulating Ario lently. Herr Gothein, Radical, standing at the top of the steps of the tribune, tried to keen the Socialists back. He Avas hurled down the stairs and his voice and the vigorous ringing of the Presi dent's bell, were droAvned in the tumult. The Socialist member Reisshaus, renew ed the demand that Herr Bachem should complete his sentence. The speaker was tAAice called to order, but after some minutes of disorder, Vice-President Buesing succeeded in quieting the uproar sufficiently to say, “No member can be compelled to say Avhat he does not want to sav.” Thereupon the tumult was renewed and the members of the Socialist party again stormed the President’s tribune, wildly shouting. Some among them addressed Herr Bachem as “You rascal, you dog.” Vice-President Buesing, finally, finding himself powerless, suspended the session for half an hour. Upon the resumption of the sitting, at 7 o’clock, Vice-President Buesing ex pressed his profound regret at the “out rageous scenes of disorder, Avhich had occurred in the Reichstag for the first time in its history. He admonished the members to exercise a control over them selves and asked them to vacate the space in front of the President’s chair, including the tribune steps, which were thickly crowded. Herr Bachem then at tempted to resume his speech, but the Socialists raised such an uproar that he had to discontinue. Herr Singer then took the floor and said that Herr Bachem has insulted most deeply the Socialist party. He had struck, continued the speaker, from an ambush, and he should name the man to Avhom he had alluded. Herr Bachem replied that after such treatment he would decline to do so. The House then adjourned on the mo tion of the Conservatives. Caracas, Venezuela.
