Jan. 25 (via Port of Spain, Jan. 27).— Twenty-five members of the diplomatic corps to-day delivered to the Venezuelan government a formal joint note, which said that they could not accept Venezuela's position that M. Taigny, the former French charjrf? d'affaires here. ha* been deprived of his official character, and that he ranked only as a French citizen at the time of his forced departure from this country. The diplomats have communicated the text of this note to their respective governments.

Jan. 27. — An undated cable dis patch from the American Minister, Mr. Russell, at Caracas, was received at the State Depart ment to-day, but it contained no mention of the note reported to haTe been delivered by tho diplomatic body at Caracas to the Venezuelan government relative to th#» expulsion of M. Taigny. It Is inferred at the department that Mr. Russell was not a party to the conference and did not sign the note. It I<> thought that he would have consulted the department before taking action as Important as that de-scribed, for it Is by no means Improbable that President Castro may expel the entire diplomatic corps from hi* capital in a fit of resentment. It is re called that a former President of Venezuela, Guzman Blanco, did almost precisely such a thing-, leaving only the American Minister at <"aracas» and causing a practical suspension of Venezuela's external relations for several years.

DUKE ANSWERS WIFE'S CHARGES Denies Allegations Made by Her in Cross . Suit for Divorce. [By Telegraph to The Tribune] Trenton. N. J.. Jan. 27— James B.

In whloh he entered a general and specific denial of the charges in the cross-bill by which Mrs. Duke met liis suit for divorce and herttlX ask<U tor a partial divorce, wiih alimony, on the ground of extreme cruelty. After characterizing as scandalous, untrue and unverified the allegations of Mrs ]> the answer raises ns a legal objection to the cross bill that it seeks to ..in Mr. Duko's action for ffiToros on the ground of adult' with an action brought on another ground, and in th«-refora not sufficient to give !:.■ court Jurisdiction to ara '.ho r< liof iisked for by Mrs. Duke.

London, Jan. 27.— Except that the returns from nine constituencies have not been received, the general elections in the Vnlted Kingdom are ended. The government coalition will hay« approrl mately 510 votes in the next Parliament, this estimate Including on the side of Premier Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermau the Nationalist and Labor votes, with the concrete Unionist minority of 160 on the Opposition side. The Issues in the campaign set forth by the Liberals Included an expensive war for which the people are still paying, a threatened raising of food prices, an unpopular educational system, an unprecedented number of unemployed and many other matters. General dtssastlsfaction with the ten years of Unionist power waa shown. Sir Henry Campbell-Rannerman will enter the n««w Parliament on February 18 with the great est majority ever given to an En^Uah Premier. The Unionists — hereafter the Opposition — will barely fill half of the Left benches), while an other notable fact Is that many of the most notable of the Unionist debaters will be absent at least on the first day of the sitting, among them the former Premier, Mr. Balfour. On the other hand, tho government's support will fill Its own allotted Si-ats and overflow Into the va cant half of the Opposition side, where the Na tionalist and Independent Labor members will also find places. Aa a result of the elections the political map of England shows a tremendous change, and it may safely be said that the incoming of a new party to power marks a complete upsetting of the old order of things, for even the most parti san of the Conservatives admit that the Liberal government Is In power for at least Its full term under the Septennial act, and that within the next six years new names will be made and new statesmen will appear, while the Premier, whether ho stays In the Houee of Commons or goes to the House of Lords, has won a name which will be handed down to posterity. With such evidence as the country has given of opposition to the Unionists, who also were pledged to carry out the foreign policy begun by Lord Salisbury and Lord Lansdowne, the Liberal government feels confident that It will receive wholehearted support for some time to come or until the minority Is able to draw off sufficient support to become an opposition strong enough to be considered. The composition of the new Parliament, as nearly as it Is now possible to tell, follows: Liberals 376'Natlonallsts R4 Unlonlats lßOiLaborltes 50 Thus it will be Been that the Liberals have a majority over all of eighty-two votes, but such a thing as a combination of the entire force of Laborltes and Nationalists against the govern ment is hardly conceivable. On the contrary, the Labor party members and Nationalist mem bers may safely be counted on the government's side on the main issues In Parliament for some time to come. It phould also be pointed out that the election probably marks the end of the old two-party system, there now being four groups, of which the Laborltes are the moat interesting. The Labor party's development in national politics marks a surprising change in sentiment In the country. Liberals are supporting Laborltes and Laborltes are supporting Liberals In most In stances. In some quarters It Is predicted that the Labor party will become the great demo cratic party of England. The fact that labor felt Its strength In this election Is bound to Kive, Impetus to the movement in the future, especially as John Burns, the Labor party lead er, has been prominently seated In the Cabinet. Mr. Burns, It Is generally conceded, is certain to reflect credit upon his post and supporters, not withstanding the virulent attacks made upon him by the adherents of the aristocratic regime and the Jealousy of a certain element among tho Laborltes. Some twenty-five members of the Labor party belong to what is known aa "Labor Representa tives." They are pledged to disregard the party whips of either side and to vote In accordance with 'he wishes of their constituents. So long as they follow Instructions they are paid | each a year by the Labor Representatives Com mittee. The other Labor members, who are unpledged, will probably stand by tho Liberal side through thick and thin and on labor tions will have the support of some twenty or thirty of the more radical Libf The new Parliament opens a wide vista for speculation on the possibility of combinations. The minority is homoj md the majority us, and the concrete minority Is cer tain t • Support of fii-r tions of the majority. It is a fact that Joseph Chamberlain hns already outlined a plan for the Unionist rupport of lahor on all trades union ils\ Mr. Chamberlain In a speech tht« olors of ; | and this and the fact that I a seat for the City of London, a sentially tariff rofor:; tain that Mr. B ; Mr. Chaml>er!aln In the future will work hand and glove for tariff reform on the I tin lines. It may he pointed out that the tariff reform movement In this election has not been without l f s victories. The Chamberlain followers are drawing much consolation from the fact that In several cases Unionist Free Traders were de by rnorrftiers of the Chamberlain group. Mr. Chamberlain counts 100 Unlonla borltr-s and 84 Nationalists on the Quest 'lon. One thing is certain, that the Laborites will take a leading part at the comir.?r sessions of Parliament, though it Is improbable that any active opposition tactics will develop In the first session. The Nationalists, who expected to hold the balance of power. Nx» somewhat disappointed, but political prophets do not hesitate to say that Home Rule for Ireland in modified form Is actually In high: asserting that it la lokU alt.>l t.> conclude, after Sir Henry Camobe!!-Bannor mon's pledge relative to the maimgc!:^nt of Irish domestic affairs for Ireland, that the ex periment of an Irish Parliament subsidiary to Uio imperial Parliament will be tried within the next two years. A feature of to-day's returns was the election of Walter H. Long, former Chief Secretary for Ireland, who had thus wrested South Dublin from the Nationalists after being rejected at South Bristol. Two Cabinet Ministers, H. H. Asquith, In F.ast Fife, and R. B. Haldane, In Haddington*hlre, have been elected by good majorities. ARCHITECTURAL EXHIBITION.

Buffalo, Jan. 27. — Charges of neglect of duty have been drawn up against Mayor J. 11. Adam and were forwarded to Governor Hlgglr>9 this afternoon, with a request for the Mayor's re moval. The specific charge is the refusal of Mayor Adam to attend the meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners last Wednesday to try Superintendent of Police Bull on charges of neglect of duly. The complainant Is Captain Walter E. Pagan. of Company D, 65th Regiment. N. O. If. Y. The complaint recites the provisions of the charter having reference to attendance at the meetings Ol Urn police board. A short time ago an investigation was begun Into the methods of accounting of the police pension fund, and 59.000 was missing. That sum was shortly afterward paid Into the city treasury by Superintendent Bull. Police Com missioner Doherty filed charges against Super intendent Bull, charging him with neglect of duty in not turning In the money promptly. Mayor Adam la a Member of th« Police Com mission, ex-offielo, but he refused to sit at the trial of the superintendent and asked Commis sioner Doherty to resign. The Mayor said he would consider the trial a burlesque If Doherty sat as Judge and accuser. Superintendent Bull has since resigned. Mayor Adam, when told that charges were to te preferred against him, said: "If charges are made, and they Involve me personally, I will answer them without expense to the taxpayers and without interfering with the public business." MAY BRING OIL SUIT IN OHIO. Attorney General Has Not Asked for Mis souri's Evidence, However.

"I shall be in Cleveland next Tuesday on other business, "he said, "and b>d thought that If Mr. Hadley was there at thnt time I would call on him and have a talk about the work he has been doing in Cleveland. But It la not true that I go to Cleve land by appointment with the Missouri Attorney General." Mr. Kills saM It was not Impossible that he would bring an icuon against the Standard Oil Company The hearing in this c!ty In the suit of Missouri against the Standard Oil Company, which was set for next Tuesday, has been postponed until Feb ruary 12 by agreement between Attorney General Hadley of Missouri and opposing counsel in Cleve land yesterday. As February 12 Is Lincoln's Birth day, and a holiday in this State, it Is probable that the hearing will be a^jaln postponed to February 13. The change In the date was made at the re quest of Mr. Hadley. Attempts to serve more suhprwnas !n the case, though assiduous, are still unsuccessful. John D. Rockefeller still eludes the vigilance of the process perver. and the Tllforda are as agile. It is ex; <-.-• cd, however, to have John 1> Rockefeller, Jr., and Henry H. Rogers on the stand. The hearings will be before Mr. Sanborn, as commissioner, as here tofore. WANTS MARRIAGE DECLARED LEGAL. Mrs. Hester McGarren Seeks to Have An nulling Judgment Set Aside. Mri.

Is unusual ly high, it is because the amount alleged to have been embezzled is said to be $54,473 3.* The action is brought by the ralload company under a bond of 15.0U0. furnished by P. Steams Ed., k, local secretary of the Federal Union Surety Company, Indianapolis. The accused man is said to be well known In steamship d . Mcularly In the West, and since leaving the employment of the Canadian Pacific-Atlantic Company in Chicago. Is said to have como to this city for the purpose of set tling here.

It alleges that hp failed to render certain bi monthly reports, that he embezzled certain sums of money, arid that he changed the dates on tickets to make it appear that they had been sold prior to the transfer of the business. Spe cific instances of sales are given in the com plaint, in which it is said the defendant em bezzled. Baaed on these allegations a civil action was Instituted in Chicago by the company gainst Wenharn, nd a Judgment for $r>4.473 .'Jo was obtainM on December S, 1005. It is to recover this *urn in the Chicago Judgment that the ac tion was instituted In this city. Mr. Wenham refused to make any statement.
