Caracas Becomes Impregnable Says French Envoy
M Thiesse, former French minister to Venezuela, argues Caracas is impregnable due to its mountain ring and geography. He notes Venezuela could field 400 000 men while the regular army numbers 10 000, with officers trained in France and Germany and arms including Martini, Remington rifles, and a few Maxim and Krupp guns. A single destroyed bridge would disable the Caracas-La Guaira rail link, and even if Caracas fell, Venezuelans would conduct guerrilla warfare as they did against Spain.

Beef Trust Case Revived Before Judge Grosscup
In Chicago the beef trust case returns after an August demurrer. Packers argue the injunction bill is multifarious and lacks sufficient particularity. Miller says no restraint of interstate or foreign commerce is alleged and shipments to agents in any state do not constitute interstate commerce. The acts are framed as furthering trade, not restraining it. Also in Pittsburgh plan to make mill workers stockholders in Republic Iron and Steel Co discussed for upcoming Columbus convention. If adopted, puddlers and finishers may gain stock and board representation.
