FRANCE AND VENEZUELA
The United States Asked to Act as Media
tor Between Them.
If This is Undertaken it VIII BE the
Has Acted for the Republic.

The United States has been again asked
TO act as intermediary In an international
complication. This time the trouble is be-
tween France and Venezuela, resulting In
complete termination of diplomatic rela-
lions between them. The French minister
at Caracas recently was given his pass
ports, whereupon France sent two warships
to take away her minister and all the Legal
ton archives At the same time France
handed to the Venezuelan minister at Paris
his passports, and he summarily departed.
The request for the mediation Of the
United States is now made by the Vene-
zuelan government. through its minister at
Washington, Senior Andrade. He was in
structed by the Venezuelan minister Of
foreign affairs short while ago to request
that the United States ambassador at
Paris, Mr.. Eustis. be asked to act as in
termediary in restoring friendly relations
between the two countries. The United
States legation at Caracas was also noti-
fed of the desire of the Venezuelan gov
eminent, and sent recommendation to the
State Department that the office Of inter-
mediary be accepted.
Should the United States undertake the
reconciliation it will make two questions
in which our officials are negotiators with
European governments in behalf of Nen-
ezuela. Ambassador Bayard is already en-.
gagged In effecting solution of the British
Venezuela question. There appears to be
no reason why the United States should
not act In the present case, as it is said to
involve no possibility of trouble or strained
relations between France and this country.
1t will. however, further impress European
nations with the care with which the
United States looks after the interests Of
South and Central American republics.
The trouble between France and Venezue-
la originated about four months ago. A
number of European ministers residing at
Caracas united in confidential note to
their respective governments, in which they
told Of the lax condition of the government
and the tendency of Venezuelan officials to
avoid the settlement of just claims. The
note was signed by the ministers of France,
Germany, Spain and Belgium. The Italian
minister did not sign it, but sent IT to his
government for information. By mschance
the "confidential' was omitted from the
note. and Italy published it, with the sigma
lures of the four ministers, in the Italian
green book. Venezuela was thus publicly
pilloried. She at once gave their passports
to the French. Spanish and Belgian minis
tiers. but the German minister had left be-
fore this indignity could be offered him.
BY this step Venezuela was almost cut of
from relations with leading nations. Great
Britain withdrew her minister some time
ago, because of the boundary trouble. It
was with view of overcoming this isola-
ton that Venezuela now asks the kindly
offices of the United States toward re.
Stunning relations with the rest OF the world.

GUATEMALA'S BONDS.
Willing to Pay Seventy-Ffve Cents on
the Dollar.

The American, British and German hold
ers of the bonds of Guatemala have, ac-
COZ ding TO recent advices received here, re-
ceived an offer by the government of about
seventy-five cents on the dollar for bonds
in default. Although Guatemala is the
" ealthiest of the Central American repub-
lies, the default was made in her bonds in
February of last year. The bondholders
II ereupon formed a committee to look after
their interests, with Sir John Lubbock of
London as chairman. Sir John and his as
scciates have been very active of late in
influencing the British government to press
Guatemala to pay this bonded debt, much
OF. Which is owed TO British banking houses.
Guatemala's offer of compromise does not
appear to have resulted from the activity
in London, but if it is accepted it will close
the trouble without friction, and without
the possibility of a repetition of the Corinto
affair The offer in detail is to give for
every $500 or 100 of defaulted bonds new
bonds of fa5, drawing 1 per cent interest
The Guatemalan government has approved
the plan, and the president has submitted
it to the bondholders, but the latter have
not as yet accepted it. One objection raised
is that compensation must be made for the
&C mmittee, which was necessitated by
Guatemala's default. When this is ar
ranged, as it is likely to be, the compro-
mise will be accepted.

Interview with Mr.. Lord.

Mr.. W. Lord of The Dalles, while in
Portland Sunday was interviewed by an
Oregonian reporter and made some in
teresting statements regarding the grow
ing greatness of The Dalles as wool
center. Mr.. Lord is manager of the
Wasco warehouse and well qualified
to speak on the subject. During the
course of the interview Mr.. Lord said:
The Dalles is getting to be the largest
wool market in the country. An i'm
mense territory, increasing in area each
season, is tributary to it. Our company
alone has handled, this season, over
$500 900 pounds of wool from actual
growers. In all not less than 5000, 900
pounds have been handled at The Dalles
this season. We tapped the Bickleton
country away out beyond Goldendale.
Condor and Arlington have also shipped
their product to The Dalles. Next year
they will hitch up lot of teams and
bring the Heppner product to the same
market. Wool has brought, at The
Dalies this year, 2 cents pound more
than at any other market in Eastern
Oregon and Washington. This was due
to the fact that the heaviest BUYERS
make their headquarters at that point,
and also because of the cheaper trans
portation. The freight on wool per 100
pounds from Heppner to Boston, where
all the wool is shipped, is 81 80, while
from The Dalles it is only 5000 10.
The steamers do it. You see, the
Southern Pacific has an arrangement
with the Columbia river steamers, which
brings the rate from The Dalles down to
the figure stated
