PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO ACT AS ARBITRATOR He Agrees to Pass Upon ttve Points in Dispute Between Venezuela, and the Allied Powers--Statesmen at Washington Fear the Step May Lead to Difficulties of a Grave Character-- Barvks Ready to Finance the South American Republic. President Roosevelt practically agreed to act as arbitrator of the Ven­ ezuela dispute when he sent word to the European countries concerned say- Qmnoooee i»Aj.noirT6oncme (Commanding British Fleet.) ing that he was unwilling to act as arbitrator, but would do so if they in­ sisted upon it They did Insist upon It, and the President was compelled tp redeem his implied pledge. There are rumors at Washington that the decision of the President to act as arbitrator is against the strongly expressed opinions of his secretary of state, John Hay. The anxiety which Is felt arises from the belief that by the President assuming to act as arbitrator he will be forced to provide a means of exe­ cuting his own decree. This in turn would seem to involve coercive action on the part of the United States. In other words, it is felt that Venezuela has no rescurces at all now except its customs revenues. They must be seized by some one and divided into shares, a part going to supply the hun­ gry cormorants, wno call themselves the government of Venezuela, and the remainder being distributed among the European money lenders. President Roosevelt desired to have the whole uibpulc submitted to The Hague tribunal, and it is said he would have been successful in this except for two things. One was that The Hague tribunal could reach merely a finding of facts, and some way of col­ lecting the claim would still have to be adopted. The other difficulty lay in the fact that both Great Britain and Germany laid great stress upon cer­ tain alleged diplomatic Insults which constitute an offense against the dig­ nity of nations, not entirely within the jurisdiction of The Hague court."" President Castro, it is understood, has communicated his belief through Minister Bowen that The Hague court, being essentially a European tribunal dominated by the great powers, It could not be expected to give a fair hearing to the case of a little South American republic afflicted with a chronic case of revolutions. In fact, It is intimated that President Castro has declared he would not accept any oth­ er arbitrator except the President of the United States. President Roosevelt sent to the Eu­ ropean governments a strong letter through Secretary Hay, clearly Indi­ cating that he did not desire to act as arbitrator and asking the foreign gov­ ernments merely as an act of friend­ liness to the United States not to press the matter. This identical note, for such it was, did not specifically say the President would consent to act if the blockading nations insisted upon it, but the Inference was so strong as to be almost irresistible. iSreat Britain and Germany an­ nounced that they would Withdraw their forces and abandon their alleged peaceful blockade provided President Roosevelt consented to act as arbitra­ tor. If he did not consent they said there would be nothing left for them to/So but to seize the customs houses and administer the revenues for their own benefit This put ,an awkward responsibility upon the President, because if he de­ clined to act the disturbance of com­ merce with Venezuela would continue indefinitely, and besides that there was always the possibility of a clash resulting in the loss of life. On the other hand, many of the President's warmest friends and ad­ mirers believe It is a great diplomatic blunder for the United States to take a hand in the Venezuelan difficulty in any way except t» prevent, by force if necessary, any violation of the Mon­ roe doctrine. It is pointed out that the President cannot fail to decide in favor of the European governments, only the amount of the actual claims being in dispute. President Castro has admit­ ted that be owes the money, or some of it, but pleads that he is unable to pay on account of the drain of the re­ cent revolution, which came danger- United States shall agree^o the estab- lisCtnent of a Venezuelan bank and promise to use its good offices to in­ duce President Castro or bis successor to meet the payments promptly. In the name of Venezuela President Castro has signified acceptance of the appointment of President Roosevelt to arbitrate the Venezuelan difficulty. VON BULOW 8TATE8 POSITION imperial Chancellor Refers to Block­ ade as State of War. Chancellor von Bulow, in an inter­ view said: "The first step taken as a compul­ sory measure against Venezuela was the seizure of her men-of-war. As this measure had no immediate effect we are now blockading the Venezuelan ports. This blockade will have the character of a blockade of war and we shall therefore make no distinction as to the nationality of neutrals, but we do not intend to issue a formal declar­ ation of war Germany and England having agreed for the present only to blockade the coast and not to take any further measures of a hostile charac­ ter against Venezuela except in the case of an unexpected emergency. "We regret the necessity of a block­ ade and we shall certainly take care •SrA** / "V •WV* * * ' J* The Railroad From La Guayra to Caracas. ously near landing him outside the breastworks. The real question at Issue, there­ fore, Is how and when Venezuela will be compelled to pay its just debts. President Roosevelt as an arbitrator will have to decide the question. What­ ever his decision, Venezuela will cer­ tainly plead Inability to comply with the mandate of the court, and there­ upon the President will be forced to Issue an execution of an international character and send George Dewey or some other naval constable down to serve the papers. As the customs revenues are the mainBtay of the country they must be seized for the time being at least, and hence it is feared that the President ultimately will put this country in the position of being merely the collection agent for Europe. This, of course, would destroy our influence In Latin- America. It is understood that the Sellgmans, the National City bank and Mr. L. J. Gage's trust company actually are competing for the privilege of financ­ ing Venezuela onjt^of its present diffi­ culties, and possibly into others it knows not of. The understanding at Washington is that any one of these three companies would be glad to put up the millions necessary to meet pres­ ent contingencies, and ultimately to advance $40,000,000 to refund the debt, merely on the stipulation that the The Venezuelan Gunboat Restaurador, Formerly George Gould's Yacht Ate- lanta. that as little inconvenience and trou­ ble as possible shall be caused by it to neutral trade. "Of course, we have not the slight­ est intention to make any territorial acquisitions in Venezuela. In that re- (Commandlng German Fleet.) spect the United States government has months ago received from us ex­ planations of a positive character. We are thankful to the United States gov­ ernment for the trouble that it takes to bring about a settlement by arbi­ tration. We think that a fair arrange­ ment might be come to in that way." British Warship Goes Aground. The British sloop of war Fantome, which was sent to command the en­ trance to the Orinoco, is hard aground near Barrancas, on the left bank of that river. The Fantome probably will remain aground for some months, as the Orinoco river is falling fast. * Friendly With the President Half a score of Senators called on the President to talk about some im­ portant position which was about to be filled. They found Mr. Roosevelt more Inclined to discuss "Bill" Sewall, the celebrated Maine guide, from whom he had just received a letter. Finally one of the senators said: "Mr. President, you seem very much interested in this guide." "Yes, senator, I am. 'Bill' is an interesting man and a real friend. He is the only man In the United States who on writing to the president about an office or anything else addresses him as 'Friend Theo­ dore.' " King Edward Works Hard. No public document bearing King Edward's signature is ever carried by postmen, though the king's private let­ ters are usually intrusted to the or­ dinary post. Wherever the king-may be two king's messengers or more leave London every day bearing offi­ cial papers that his majesty must deal with immediately. Thus the king Is kept busy and sometimes overwprked, yven on his holiday trl£s. ' A Cotton-Raising In Utah. "Nobody looks on Utah as a cotton- raising state, and yet, there is a Mor­ mon settlement in our state that has engaged in its production for at least a quarter of a century," says G. C. Townes of Salt Lake City. "The scene of this industry is in the extreme southwestern part of Utah, and not only do these Mormons produce the raw material, but they have for years been converting it into thread and cloth. Their factory is the quaintest thing in the shape of a mill I ever saw. It was built at a time when material was scarce, and in its construction there is not a single nail. Wooden pegs alone were utilized, but so cleverly was the work done that the building is standing to-day in as solid condition as the day it was built." Carnegie's Generous Offer. According to the statement of Wal­ ter Damrosch, leader of the celebrated Philharmonic orchestra, Andrew Car­ negie offered to give $500,000 to per­ petuate that organization If others would subscribe as much, so as to make the permanent fund $1,000,000. Mine Owner Suffers From Cold. Congressman Beidler of Cleveland owns mines in the Massillon district from which about 750,000 tons of coal Is taken annually, but he is unable to obtain fuel for his home in Washing­ ton. He lives in-the house formerly occupied by John Sherman and in cold weather it takes several tons per week to keep the place warm. Distributed His Lc^jacy. Benjamin W. Gist, a well-to-do Ne­ braska farmer, recently received a legacy of $40,000 and was so exas­ perated by the importunities of rela­ tives that he finally drew his wealth from a bank in gold and distributed $20 pieces among the poor. When he met school children or old men and women in the streets he gave them pieces. Sometimes when he found a crowd assembled he sowed the pieces broadcast. His one desire was to get rid of the $40,000. He succeeded in giving it all away and says he is welT pleased. The Growth of Large Cities. During the nineteenth century Lon­ don grew from a city of 800,000 peo­ ple to one of 6,600>000--that is, In­ creased eight fold. New YoVk In­ creased from 60,000 to 8,500,000-- nearly sixty fold. London is now in­ creasing 17 per cent in a decade, and New York 85 per cent, or twice as fast If this rate should hold good for fifty years more, New York would have over 15,000,000 population and be a million ahead of London. CHUTE BUREAU , f-f- House Committee Votes to Report Favorably oo Pro-^, Imposed MeasurfC; rl mm OUTLINE Of ITS PROVISIONS New Department to Embrace Many Boards Directly Connected With Gathering and Disseminating tn» formation in Regard to Businesa. Washington, dispatch: • favorable report on the department of com­ merce bill has been ordered by the house committee on interstate com­ merce. In the final test the decision to report the bill favorably carried by a vote of 5 to 8, but there was a tie on the provision to include the bu­ reau of labor in the new department Provisions of th« Bill. As the bill now stands, it provides that the new department shall em­ brace the lighthouse board, the light- board service, national bureau of standards, coast and geodetic survey, bureau of immigration, fish commis­ sion, bureau of statistics of the treas­ ury department, bureau of foreign commerce of the state department, fur, seal and salmon fisheries, bureau of labor and census, and three new bureaus, insurance, .manufacture and corporations. e To Shed Light The province and duty of the pro­ posed bureau of corporations is un­ der the direction of the secretary of commerce, to gather, compile, publish and supply useful information con­ cerning corporations engaged in inter­ state or foreign commerce. A sec­ tion added to the senate bill gives the president the authority to transfer at any time any statistical or scientific branch of the government to the de­ partment of commerce. Representative Mann of Illinois, a member of the committee, introduced a bill embodying the changes pro­ posed by the commerce committee. ELASTIC CURRENCY. Former Secretary Gage Discusses Matter With the President Washington dispatch: Former Sec­ retary Gage and John H. Rhoadea, chairman of the finance committee of the New York Chamber of Commerce, called upon the president to present to him resolutions recently adopted by the Chamber of Commerce in advo­ cacy of a more elastic currency sys­ tem. President Roosevelt received them very cordially, but did not indi­ cate what his attitude regarding the resolutions would be. Mr. Gage and Mr. Rhoades later bad a talk with Chairman Fowler of the house com­ mittee on banking and currency, giv­ ing their views on the currency ques^ tion. Messrs. Gage and Rhoades also had a conference with Senators Al- drich and Allison of the senate com­ mittee on finance, and outlined them a measure for the increase of the elas­ ticity of the currency with the end in view of temporarily increasing the money supply in times of financial stringency. They urged that congress should take action during the present session, but no assurance was given them as to when the bill could be ta> ken up. ENDS RELIGIOUS FIGHT. New Rules Settle Controversy in Re­ gard to Indians. Washington dispatch: An educa­ tional circular just issued from the office of Indian affairs finally settles a long-standing religious controversy concerning the education of Indians, and practically reverses the program hitherto followed in the Indian service. In effect It promulgates rules of the Carlisle Indian School and makes them general through the Indian schools. The only important difference between the Carlisle rules and the circular in­ structions is that religious instruction Is not made mandatory in govern­ mental, schools. The adoption of the rules is owing to the advocacy of Rev. William H. Ketcham, director of the bureau of Catholic Indian missions, and the strong representations of the justice of the case recently made by Archbishop Ireland. LENGTHENS LIFE OF GAS WELLS Air at High Pressure Is Mixed With the Fuel Supply. Alexandria, Ind., special: The Fair- mount glass works, a few miles north of this place, has made a new appli­ cation of an old principle which prom­ ises to lengthen the life of natural gas fuel and is giving marvelous re­ sults. Th.e process is simply the forcing of air into the well at a high pressure, which mixes thoroughly with the gas before again coming to the surface, giving much better combus­ tion. Round Up Ladrones.
