Washington, Jan. 19.-The republi-
can senator's decided not to set q
day, at least for the present, for taxi
ing up the Nicaragua canal bill. The
decision was reached after an hour
and half In caucus and was unani-
nous. The caucus was called largely
because of Senator Morgan's impor-
tunities in behalf Of the bill and an
earnest effort was made to effect a
satisfactory solution of the problem
There was a general exchange Of
views and many speeches were made,
but after all had been said the sen.
ators concluded that so long as Great
Britain's attitude toward the amend
ments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
is undecided it would not be wise or
expedient to agitate the question
OF the construction Of the proposed
canal.

AMERICAN PROTESTS IGNORED.
Venezuelan Ohicials Said to be Holding VI
and Robbing Foreigners.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao,
Dutch West Indies, Jan. 21.-Via
Haytien Cable.-The United States
auxiliary cruiser Scorpion (Lieuten-
ant Commander Sargent command
ing) has just arrived here on her
way to Guanaco, Venezuela, the near
est port to the scene of the trouble
between the rival asphalt companies.
She recently left LaGuayra (the port
of Caracas) and brings the latest
news of the Venezuelan troubles.
The situation is described as being
serious. 1t is said that the emphatic
protests of the government at WASH
ington have been defied, and blood
shed at the lake of the Bermuda AS
phalt company was feared. The
most hot-headed of the foreigners in
Venezuela go so far as to say that
if the Washington authorities do not
take steps to protect American cit
liens now, all foreigners may as
well leave the country. The officers
of the Scorpion are quoted as say
ing that the diplomatic corps at Ca
racas is unanimous on this point, as
are all the foreigners. They admit,
however, that the United States min
lister at Caracas, Mr.. Francis q.
Loomis, is working vigorously in the
efforts to arrange matters.

Railroad Signals Are Not for Protection
of Human Beings Alone.
Des Moines, Jan. 2l.-The supreme
court held that in requiring trains to
give signals before reaching crossings
the legislature intended to protect
animals as well as men and in an opin-
ion written by Judge Sherwin sustain
ed a decision of the Pottawottamie
ed decision of the Pottawattamie dis
trict court in the case of W. A. Gray
bill VS.. the Chicago, Milwaukee g. St.
Paul railway company, appellant.
The appeal was made by the railway
company from Judge A. B. Thornells
court. Graybill owned stock that
escaped from an enclosure and were
killed in the day time on highway
crossing by a train running as a
special. Negligence was charged in
the operation of the train in not
using due core and watchfulness and
in not usiHg the whistle and bell be-
fore reaching the crossing where the
cattle were killed. 1t was also charg-
ed the train was a wild one and was
running at a dangerously high rate
of speed. There was a trial to a jury
and a verdict and Judgment for the
plaintiff.
The supreme court sustained the
trial court in holding that the stat
utory requirements as TO signals be-
ing sounded with whistle and bell
before a road crossing was reached,
was for the safety of animals as
well as of persons. The supreme
court says: "a failure to give these
statutory signals when approaching
a crossing makes railway companies
absolutely liable for all damages
which shall be sustained by any per-
son by reason of such neglect; such
failure is also misdemeanor. There
is nothing in the language of the
statute tending to show Legislative
intent to restrict its operation to
