ARREST OF CONSUL
 VERY UNFORTUNATE
VenezueIa's Action Simply Serves to Put Her in More
 Difficult Position.

Washington March A.-(Special. )-The action of the Venezuelan government in imprisoning the American consular agent at Barcelona Is regarded as unfortunate In the present critical condition of the relations between the two countries, be- cause of the asphalt controversy. It sim ply serves to put Venezuela In a difficult position and to make 1t necessary for the government of the United States to insist that our agents to be treated with respect and fairness. The asphalt con troversy is simply a dispute between two American companies, a matter of busi- ness rivalry, and the present Venezuelan government has sided with tn less pow erful company. All the United States can do is to see fair play and that the dis pute Is properly settled in the Venezuelan courts. There Is no excuse for any seri- ous difficulty between the two countries In this matter, but when Venezuela pro- ceeds to imprison representatives of the United States, even if the representative
 Is only a consular agent, the most sub ordinate of consular positions, she puts herself in the wrong and makes a deter mined stand by the United States abso- lutely necessary.

ARRANGEMENT TO
 LAUNCH SHAMROCK
Channel Could Not Be Dredged and Watson Devised h.
 geniouS Plan.

Glasgow. March 2.-Sir Thomas Lipton was at Dumbarton yesterday making ar engagements to launch the Shamrock H., and the ceremony has been definitely fix ed for April % The Marchioness of Duff ferin will christen the yacht.
 The attempts last week to dredge the channel deep enough to float the chal- lenger failed, owing to the shifty nature of the bottom. For a time 1t looked as If this might give rise to serious difficult ties. because the long fin and heavy bal last demand 20 feet of water, which 1t is impossible to get.
 In this dilemma Mir. Watson devised an ingenious plan. This involves a huge ater-tight box of sufficient buoyancy to carry the whole weight of the yacht. The box is being built around her underbody in such a fashion that the whole of the hollow between the body of the yacht and the fin will be filled up. It is calculated that this will float six feet above the normal water line of the yacht and that when deep water is reached it can be knocked away.
 One result of the use of the contrivance will be that the underbody will be hidder es .he yacht goes down the ways ane 1t will be impossible to get complete photograph of her

ANOTHER STEP
 IN B.S.&N.O. CASE
Southern Has Removed Its En- zines and Cars But 0ppo-
 nents Hesitate.

Selma, March 24.-(SpeciaD-The fam ous B. S. and N. o. crossing matter has assumed another phaze. Immediately af- ter the injunction was dissolved by Judge Bruce in Birmingham on last Tuesday, two engines were quickly dispatched by the Southern Railroad to the point of the proposed crossing to patrol the, track. The B. S. and N. O. people notified the southern that they had an easement over the track and right of way and wanted to put in the crossing. The Southern warned the B. s. and N. O. to keep off its property. These notices passed on Wednesday. Thursday the Southern called in its patrolling engines and yes- terday evening removed the long line of box cars that have blocked the point of crossing for so long a time and which has prevented the B. S. and N. o. from getting across the track.
 With the crossing entirely unlocked the Southern simply notified the B. S. and N. O. that 1t must not cross their debating whether or not the movement by the Southern Is surrender or a snare to further entrap them into litigation. The B. s. and N. O. are going slow, but may ment. Neither side will talk and the matter is being watched with the great est interest.

BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWS.
Twelve Men Assaulted Daily in Chi
 cago for No Other Reason.

Chicago, March 24-Twelve men as- saulted in Chicago each day, for no other reason than that they are Jews, with the average of one death a year. growing out of these assaults, were figures pre- sented today at an indignation meeting of Jewish peddlers.
 The police, the speakers declared, make little effort to protect members of their race from attacks of hoodlums. In sev- eral instances, 1t was said, the police had looked on while such attacks were be'Ak made and had failed to interfere. After half dozen had spoken in protest, the Chicago Protective League was organized to demand that the police protect the Jews A committee was appointed to perfect the organization and arrange for a downtown mass meeting next week for the purpose of arousing public interest in the movement.

THE OUTLOOK IS
 BRIGHT IN CUBA
Visit of American Senators and Congressman Has Had an
 Excellent Effect.

Havanna March 24.-The action of the Republican party in Santiago in endors- ing the Platt amendment and instructing Senors Gcmez and Ferrer of the Santla- go delegation to the constitutional con vention to vote for the amendment, To- gether with the letters of General san gully and the Mayor of Cienfuegos ad- vising acceptance were incidents of the week just past that have tended to clear up the political atmosphere until now there are few who do not expect the convention to approve the amendment
 The visit of American Senators and Coneressmen had an excellent effect as in no instance have the radicals received any encouragement in the notion that II action is delayed until the next Congress there might be a change In the demands of the United States.
 The radicals insist that they cannot recede from their former position with out loss of dignity, and they still hope that some concession, no matter how in significant may provide a sufficient ex- cuse.
 Already the radicals are taking their cue from the conservatives and pointing out that commercial interests demand recognition. There is a possibility of uniting the convention along this line The platform of the conservatives calls for a reduction of American import du- ties on tobacco and ~lgar and approves any scheme of relat. ..s which the United States government sees fit to impose.
 In fact the situation is leading to point where commercial interests will be the chief question under discussion at the next session of the convention and it is not unlikely that a resolution will be adopted asking for a reciprocity treaty.
