WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The delegates to

ton, now in session here, attended divine
service at the Church of Our Father to-
day. Miss Elizabeth Upham Yates presided
over the meeting. and the address was de-
l;vered by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson,
of California. The general theme of her
discourse was the spiritual significance of
democracy and woman's relation to il. In
democracy, she said find the culmina ton

ROBBERY OF ANTIQUES.


NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Some time near
midnight, Saturday, the residence of DR..
jain was entered and a case of antiques
valued at $4,000 was taken away. The an
tiques which were stolen were part of the
collection known as the Schile collection,
bought some years ago by DR.. Jahn for
$40, 900. and consisted principally of work
inlaid with gold and silver Saturday even
ing Walter Kline. an expert in antiques,
who was in charge of the collection, went
out on business. He returned at midnight
and found the front door open He ran up
stairs, and on entering the show room on
the second floor noticed that the case con-
tanning the antiques, and which he valued
at $4,000 had been taken.
DR.. jain is in Europe and was notified by
cable of the robbery. At the station house
Captain Pickett refused to either affirm or
deny the story, but on investigation it was
learned that the robber robbers gained
entrance to the house through rear win
dow. The police worked on the case all
day. but at an early hour this morning had
no clew to the robbers.

A surprise mt Wasbiprtor.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-The above dis
patch causes surprise in official circles here
as the understanding was that the claims
or demands OF the German railways against
the government of Venezuela were paid
some time ago. The claims arose in con-
nection with the construction by German
capitalists of railway line from Caracas
to Varencia, at stipulated price, The
government of Venezuela was to guarantee
the capitalists an income Of per cent. on
the investment. If the earnings failed to
reach that amount the government was to
make up the balance. Owing to the rough
condition OF the country through which the
line passed the outlay was much more than
the projectors estimated II would be and
therefore considerably more than the
amount on which the Venezuelan govern
ment agreed to guarantee fixed income.
The projectors demanded the per cent
on the amount actually expended, but the
government insisted that Ii should paw the
interest only on the amount first agreed on.
Finally the Venezuelan government SUBJ
mitted the question to a number of well
known native lawyers, who decided against
the government, and as a consequence an
agreement entered into the Sd Of

England's Object to Demonstrate Her
Ability TO Defend Herself.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.-"The fitting of the
that England was prepared to defend her
corner against the nations. / do not think
that any one in Great Britain ever thought
the squadron was placed in action TO be
used against the United States"
This was the statement made by Sir
Wheelman Pearson, NJ. p. from Colchester,
Essex county, England, at the Southern
Hotel, to-day. Sir Wheelman, who has con-
tracts with the Mexican government for the
construction of the harbor at Vera Cruz,
is en- route to that city, accompanied by
Lady Pearson.
when we first heard of your Monroe
doctrine declaration he said, I'VE thought
you had gone crazy. You gave us terri
bic shock for a few days, for we thought
from the amount of jingoism aroused that
complications would follow. There is no
doubt that England recognizes the Monroe
doctrine in its broad sense, and Is willing
to abide by it on all occasions except this
one. This disputed territory has been
claimed by Great Britain for years and has
been ruled by 1t. A large number of the
inhabitants of the place consider them
merely over the boundary. Surely not a
sufficient cause for war.
''Since this trouble has arisen there is a
growing sentiment in England In favor of
a permanent international commission, to
which all disputes could be referred at their
inception, and they would be settled with
out having the countries stirred up over
them. The time will come when such a
board will be found necessary, and l hope
to see this agreement speedily arrived at"

LONDON, Jan. N.-The Chronicle this
morning, in an editorial on Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain's statement of the Ven
ezuelan question made in a speech at Bir-
mingham, Saturday night, says:
1--WE must regard this statement as ex-
pressing the deliberate conclusions of the
government, and it seems to render arbitra-
ton in some form or other absolutely un-
avoidable."
An article in another part Of the Chron-
icle, which is the government organ, de-
clares that all the recent evidence of a
rapproachement between England and
America leave the essential heart of the
matter untouched. 1.-The effects of the in
crease of mutual kindness are being al
lowed to evaporate,, says the Chronicle,
"and while from every point of the Europe
an horizon grim anxiety and possible peril
confront us, the golden moments for perma-
nent peace with America are slipping by.
If the government of which Mr.. Chamber
lain is so brilliantly successful member
would forget minor matters and boldly con-
clude an arbitration treaty with America,
the spectacle Mr.. Chamberlain pictured of
the two people rescuing Armenia, instead of
being an ideal. might become within a
short time world-shaking fact"
An editorial in the Times on the American
attitude towards Armenia says: 1T is not
to be expected that America will so far
depart from the sagacious principles of
Washington's farewell message (address) as
to draw the sword in behalf of the Armeni-
ans. But the American people are the only
people, except ourselves. not perhaps wholly
incapable of making war on behalf Of the
oppressed without regard to national in
terests."
The Times in another editorial says: 'It
seems unlikely that Russia has done more
than establish good relations with Turkey
on an understanding that she shall be no
party to other than platonic remonstrances
over the Armenian grievances. The Unkiar
Skelessi treaty was failure, and the con-
clusion of a similar treaty now would lead
all Musulmans to look with suspicion on
ruler who placed himself in the hands of the
Gioaur."
The Daily News Q4iberaD says in an edi-
torial this morning: Mr.. Chamberlains S
reference to Venezuela was thoroughly judi
cious and will dispel the idea that he was
opposed to councils of conciiation. His pro-
posal for Anglo-American interference in
Armenia, however 3 at variance with the
principles Of the oMonroe doctrine.
The Standard, in an editorial. thinks that
Mr. Chamberlains view of American feel
ing is rather optimistic.
1--WE may be pretty sure," says the Stand
ard that If the United States desired TO
pick a quarrel with us, they would soon
devise some Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine that would have the desired eff
feet. Our best guarantee of peace is the
consciousness in both countries of the hor-
rible misery and losses which conflict
would involve"
