HARD USAGE vn THE BRITISH SOL. DIERS IN VENEZUELA Dragged on Shore and Assailed by Venezuelan Soldiers--Anxious That Roosevelt Will Act as Arbitrator. Loudon, Dec. 22.--Provided the dii- ficult question. of guarantee can be satisfactorily surmounted, the London newspapers agree, this morning, in de- siring President Roosevelt to accept the office of arbitrator. They fear if the matter is referred to The Hague Venezuela will ignore the award. At the same time the president's reluet- ance to accept the office is perfectly understood and his motive respected. It is recognized that he would have a very difficult task because it is said, among other things, there would be something like a scramble to be heard from different nations having claims acainst Venezuela. The hope is gener ally expressed that a pacific settlement will be reached. Great resentment is press, this morning, from Port of Spain, Trinidad, that the crew of athe British steamer Sopaze were dragged-ashore at Puerto Cab- elle at midnight, hali clothed, pro- vided with bayonets by Venezuelan soldiers, roughly handled by the mobs and all imprisoned in one lilthy room. voiced in the at the report, To The Gymnastic Course.

There is nothing like wing thorough in every undertaking; do not do things by halves. This principle, evidently, was strongly ineulcated in the mind of "Count" Ernest Antoine, 5 driver jof "A" field battery, whose © opera- tions gs a thief were unlimited. The amount of plunder recovered from his dwelling on Place d'Armes street would more than form two truck Such a large and miscellan2ous loads. stolen stuff has never colle tion of before found a resting place in the police station. Antoine is a young man. apparently about twenty or twenty-one vears of age. He is short in stature, intelli- gent and sharp looking, and one of the last persons who would be sus- pected of crime. He is a native of Paris, France, and joined the battery about eighteen months ago at Dese- ronto, where previously he had been employed by the Rathihun company. For some time he had been engaged as mail carrier for Tete de Pont Lar- racks, and his deportment won for him the sobriquet of "Count." Last August he married a young lady of an estimable family and took up resi- dence on Place d"Armes street, imme- diately in rear of the local office of the Rathbun company. As a tenant of the building, he was allowed ac- cess to the main hallway of the Rath- bun company's office, in which is loca ted a water tap, whence he secured his supply of water for domestic pur- poses. Having free access to this por- tion of the building led to his down- fall. Stored in boxes and trunks in the second and third flats of this building were household effects of Allan Chad- wick and Capt. R. C. Carter, as well as a camping outfit, surveying appli- ances, ete., the property of T. W. Nash, C.E., of the K. & P. railroal company. To make a long story short Antoine freely helped himself to these taking care to replace the hox- ods, es and chests exactly as thev had been before being disturbed, so as not to alarm the owners. His takings includ- cd almost everything needed in house- keeping, including valuable vases, blankets, silver ware, ladies silk waists, «ilk and lace curtains, silk sofa cushions, silk shawl, china ware, fancy table covers, silk drapings, prindstone, carpets, agate ware, camp- ing outfit, field telegraph outfit anl innumerahle other articles; in fact the man's house was comfortably furnish- ed with stolen goods, and the police had to obtain the services of a wag- gon to remove the stuff to the police station. Thdy left a lot of things be- hind which they had an idea were also stolen. Some time aco Antoine moved from the building occupied hy (he Rathburn company's oflice to one immediate west on Place I)'Armes and was here that the stolen goods were recovered. A couple Chadwick reported to the police the mysterious loss of certain articles of silverware. The case was given to De tective Aiken, who at once proceeded to unravel the mystery, and so sue- cessful was he that on Saturday even Ins, taking Constable Graham along, he was able to place the thief under st and recover the missing praise. cannot he bestowed tive Aitken for the clever in which he up the case.

Falling Of In United States Exports: New York, Dec. 20.--The creation of the $50,000,000 loan pool by 'banks has had a beneficial effect.

Much of this lo can be traced to the deficit of last year's corn crop and its effect upon other) cereals and meats, but higher prices | for cotton, oils and manufactured pro ducts stimulated imports and checked exports until our excess of exports for the eleven months of this year was on- | lv 833,7400,000, compared with $527 900,000 last year and $571,600,000 the vear before.
