Um itocaeieiier, iJiotesung against any t hostile action by congress against the tru3t3or, more properly speaking, which purported to be so signed, for it does not stand to reason and to common sense that Mr Rockefeller would do such an idiotic thing. He probably could not do anything which would be more certain to precipitate drastic anti trust legislation than to send such a telegram to senators, provided such tel egram became public property. Of course there are senators to whom be could with perfect impunity send any request or command by telegram, letter or otherwise, but the average senator, I even when willing to do Rockefeller's bidding, would prefer that the ruattet be kept secret. . But, whether bogus or genuine, the Subscribe for THE TRIBUNE, printed every Thurslay tveuiug.

Perhaps such investigation ' would turn out to be bogus. The prob ' abilities are that the Rockefellers are j well pleased with the antitrust legisla 1 tlon, so called, which has been or may i he enacted by this congress. It's a ten ' to one shot that the number of trusts or their profits w ill be in no way re I duced by tiie legislation aforesaid. In ; deed, some persons are so cynical as to 'claim that the trusts dictate the said legislation. ; A Tiptop Speech. The spcecluuaking on the trust ques- tion was not confined to the members of the judiciary committee. In fact, a tiptop speech one of the best and most thoroughly considered on that absorb ing and vexing theme wras delivered by lion. Charles Randolph Thomas of North Carolina.

But, Mr. Chairman, does this legislation yet go far enough? Does it strike at the : root of the evil? Does it eradicate and : ; imiA 4. 4 .... V , -U.L i politic? Will it do more, if it does that, than to alleviate temporarily the evil an-1 restrain the cancerous srowth while mo nopoly r till exists? Ths real danger to the country lies in the formation and the overcapitalization of the 2- corporate! trusts of the country, 200 of which are benefited by and owe their formation to the tariff laws of the Republican party. Henry O. Havemyer, presi'jynt of the sugar trust, said on June 14. liS9: "The mother of all trusts is the customs tariff bill. It is the goverim??nt through its tariff laws which pluneers tho people, and the truats are merely the machinery for doing it." Tho national Democratic platform of 1900 declared: "We condemn the Dingley tariff law as a trust breeding measure skillfully devised to give the few favors which they do not deserve and to place vipon the many bur dens which they should r.ot bear." Mr. Babcock, chairmen of the national Republican congressional executive com mittee, in 1901 RaiO By the aid of the tariff manufacturers scan fix exorbitant wrices in the domestic market." And, as has been tersely said, "the Dingley law tis the hands of the Ameri can consume? while the trusts pick his pockets." Bat Ifot in the White Hoase.

The British protocol with Venezuela for raising of tbe blockade, and reference of the matter of preferential treatment ' of the allies' claims to The Hague, has been signed. Germany and Italy have also signed the Venezuelan protocols.' London, Feb. 14. The Associated Press is informed that instructions have been telegraphed to the com manders of the blockading squadrons off Venezuela to withdraw their ships m consequence of the agreement com pleted at Washington. The block ade, therefore, will be immediately raised. Berlin, Feb. 14. The government Is telegraphing instructions today for the raiding of tha blockade of the Vene zuelan coast immediately, j These instructions ' may not reach ' til the blockading vessels today, hut it is expected that the blockade will be tomorrow or Men- flay, especially since uomnioucre Scheder has been expecting such in structions and had arranged for their prompt transmission. . Two memoranda explaining the pro- tocol were signed by Minister Bov.-en. The fext of the first is as follows: "As the imnerial German govern ment holds that the claims originat ing from the Venezuelan civil wars of 1898 to 1SO0 are no more apt to be Eubmitted to arbitration, the govern- muuL UI venczueiun nas to ac-Knowi- edge at once these claims, amounting to 1.71S.S15 bolivars, approximately $325.WjO, ad either to pay such amount in casn witaout any delay or, shouid this be impossible, to guaran-' : tee the speedy payment of them by guarantees which are deemed suu"i i eient by the imperial Crerman govern : ment." . j The second explanatory document ; reads: The conditions of the German gov- ernment having been accepted, Mr. : Bowen as representati-e cf the Vene zuelan government, will no- have to j - provide for the payment of the 1,718.- j 815 bolivars mentioned nn-ier number j one o? the conditions, or give an ade j quate guarantee for this amount. : ShouR Mr. Bowen choose the latter j way, the guaranty is to be specified ; distinctly. For instance, in case of exactly in which way the payment is i to tel.:e iiiace out of these tevenues The guaranty will have to be given de fa-cto and without delay. ! "In the event c handed to Baron Speck von Stern- burg last night being defaulted, it is stipulated that Belgian customs cfli-' j cials collect the revenues at once of j the Venezuelan porta ln behalf of Ger : many." J ! Foreign Secretary Von Richthofen sent a message to Ambassador Towet here at 6o'c!ock yesterday evening in forming him that the protocol had been signed during the evening, and express. . ing hs pleasure "t the happy result. Chancellor Von Buelow and Baron Von Richthofen both express satisfaction and approval of the United State? gov ernment's friendly attitude throughout the episode. Earon Speck Von Stern, j burg, by direction of his government, ; h: forms Secretary Hay in advance of t the character of any important propo sal made to Mr. Bowen.
