MAKING UP TRIBUNAL.
Venezuela VIII Doubtless Ask Uncle

Venezuela VIII Doubtless Ask Uncle
Sam to Act for Her--Our Members.
Washington, Dec. 29.-Should Vene-
zuela mamie the United States as her
Judge in the settlement of the present
trouble, she must select at least two of
this country's four permanent members
of The Hague court, Chief Justice Full
Ter, Judge George Gray, John w. Griggs
and Oscar S. Strauss, 1t is assumed
there will be the least possible delay in
getting the case before the tribunal and
in pressing it to conclusion.
The constitution of the tribunal per-
mits much expedition of procedure, as
well as width Of latitude of form. The
trial may be held at The Hague, Lon
don. Caracas or Washington, or at any
place the litigants may select. The spe-
cial tribunal itself may be constituted
from the membership of the permanent
court in almost any way pleasing to the
disputants.
There seems to be no good reason,
therefore, why the case should not be
brought promptly to trial and to de-
Termination. The Hague convention

onstration.

Paris, Dec. 29.--Members OF the
Humbert family, recently arrested in
Madrid in connection with the great
safe frauds in this city arrived here
this morning. There was no demons
tration. The prisoners were conducted
to Conciergerie prison.
The arrival of the fugitives was de-
void of sensational incident, as the
force of police had chosen the hour of
their return here when Paris was only
half awake The crowd at the railroad
station was comparatively small, but a
large force of police and soldiers,
mounted and on foot, was drawn up in
front of the station and guarded all the
street approaches in order to prevent a
possible popular demonstration. The
return of the Humberts to Paris is the
absorbing topic for discussion tflruout
France, as no event since the return; of
Dreyfus has aroused such intense I'M
terest. All classes of society are equal

tions were so colossal and SO interviews

viewed with apprehension. Crowds
from all parts of the city were ready to
assemble at the station and give the
prisoners a disorderly reception, but
the secrecy of the police baffled the
plans of the mobs and permitted the
Humberts to be landed silently and
swiftly inside the grey walls OF the
prison. The public had doubted the
sincerity of the government in ever at-
tempting to bring back the fugftives;
owing to the political and social shock
which was sure to follow; hui the ar
rival of the prisoners is now generally
accepted as showing the purpose of the
authorities to spare no means for pros.

cused. The plans for prosecution 81

BLAME THE OPERATOR.
Wanstead Wreck Charged to Tele-
arapher Who Denies the Accusation.

London. Ont. Dec. 29.-There were
no deaths Sunday among the persons in
jured In Fridays nights collision at
Wanstead on the Sarnia branch of the
Grand Trunk railroad, in which twenty
eight persons lost their lives. The AS
sociated Press was informed at
Victoria hospital that while several of
the injured are still In a serious condi-
tion it Is expected that all will recover.
Sunday night there was but one un-
identified at the nrorgue here, that of a
woman who was ticketed from Toronto
to Duluth The mans body which was
unidentified Saturday night was Sun

Southern, of Lockport, N. Y.
Andrew Carson, the operator at Wat
ford, the first station east of the wreck,
whose failure to deliver orders to Con-
da,ctor McAuliffe of the Pacific express
to pass the freight at Wanstead is said
by the trunk officials to have caused the
wreck. this afternoon made the fssoci-

wreck.

sizes arising between powers signatory
and powers that have not signed IT.
Germany, Italy and Great Britain are
represented in the permanent court by
members already appointed. 1t will re-
main for Venezuela to name her repre-
|sentaives, and, as suggested, she is
likely to name the United States.
This method of constituting the court
IN accordance with provisions of the
treaty would, however, create q tribu-
nal in which the creditors would have
three votes to the debtors one.
Since the widest latitude OF procedure
is permitted by the treaty, the protocol
IN this case will doubtless provide for a
more evenly balanced court The con-
|vention, nevertheless. declares that the
|arbitral Judgment, when determined by
la majority vote, shall be accompanied
by an opinion reduced to writing and
signed by each member of the tribunal
Those members of the court who are In
IA minority may. when signing, specify
their dissent" The judgment duly pro-
nounced shall decide the controversy
finally and without appeal"
The reference of an American dispute
to The Hague tribunal does not open
the way for encroachments upon the
Monroe doctrine. 1t Is to be remem-
bered, however, that In signing The
Hague treaty the American delegates
recorded and entered a special provis-
ion that nothing contained In the con-
yention shall be 80 construed as to re-
quire the relinquishment by the United
States of America of it's traditional at
titude towards purely American ques-
tions."
We are not directly a party to this
controversy nor to the arbitration. But
against the rendering of any decision
containing menace to the Monroe doc
trine there stands, first, the safeguard
OF the Venezuelan representation in the
court, since any act In contraventlon OF
the Monroe doctrine would necessarily
be harmful and dangerous to her; sec
ond. the character of the tribunal itself,
which is judicial, not political; third,
the knowledge of every European pow
er represented in the court that any
attempt to enforce decision in conflict
with the Monroe doctrine would en-
counter our protest and resistance. TX
is open to any European power at any
time and In any way it may choose to
raise the issue of the Monroe doctrine
with us and the present affair therefore
offers no opportunities along that line
that do not already exist.

and his subordinate. 1t is understood
that the attorney general has the mat
ter under consideration and is to render
a decision soon as to whether or not
the state has any direct interest in the
matter or whether the executive coun-
ell has any right to interfere. But al
best nothing car be done until the last
few days Of the term of the present
auditor and the prospect is that the
whole matter will be allowed to drop.
The feeling among state officials and
among insurance men is and has been
all along that while the extortionate
charges for examinations have been a
source of discredit TO the state for a
number of years there is no law to pre-
vent Tt rests entirely with the insur-
ance companies.
In the published proceedings of the
Pioneer Lawmakers association soon tc
be issued there will appear for the
first time pictures showing all the
buildings in which the state officers OF
Iowa have been housed. These have
been secured by the veteran Isaac
Brandt, of this city, especially for this
volume. The pictures of the old build
ing at Beloit, and the old Zion church
at Burlington are familiar, but in this
volume will be given for the first time
pictures of the old store building al
Iowa City which was used as tenn
porary capitol, and of the temporary
capitol at Des Moines as it was first
constructed. The pictures of the last
named building have all been of the ole
capitol as it appeared just before II
was abandoned. But it had been COM
pletely remodeled and much enlarged.
A fairy story comes from Oklahoma
in relation to project for construction
of a line of railroad to connect the Col
orada & Southern with st. Louis and
to form a connecting link for lines in
which the Iowa Central and Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis are to be considered
also the Glover Leaf route from st
Louis to Toledo, and in which the Iowa
and ST. Louis now building to Center
vile is to be merged. But the story
appears to have been evolved from the
fertile brain of one was only a few
years ago a newspaper reporter in Des
Moines, w. S. McCaull, generally
known as "Onion BILL" and the story
is not greatly credited.

United States May Resist.

Washington, Dec. 20. Whatever
course the powers may take in the way
of attempting to maintain a blockade
of Venezuelan ports pending the settle
ment of the case by The Hague tribu-
nal, 1t is certain that such action will
be displeasing to this government.
President Roosevelt from the first has
regarded the blockade not only as a
menace to peace and order and as
harmful to American trade, but also as
a constant source OF danger to this
country. He has before expressed the
fear that the indignation of some hot
headed American skipper would involve
this government in a diplomatic tangle
with the allied fleets. 1t is consequent
ly assured that the administration will
resist any attempt to prolong the re-
friction of commerG2.

MAY NOT RAISE BLOCKADE
Runor in London Great Surprise
Castro May kiek-Merchants Will

Suffer.
London, Dec. 29.--It was reported
here last night that the blockade of the
Venezuelan ports by the allied fleet of
England, Germany and Italy viii not
be lifted Immediately upon tie sis1iimg
of protocol taking the case to The
Hague tribunal, but on the contrary
will be continued thruout the course of
the arbitration. This report was con-
firrned by semi-official dispatch from
Rome, where the decision was first
given out.
This course on the part OF the powers
has caused great surprise here. for 1t
was generally believed that all impedi-i
ments to commerce with Venezuela
would be removed as soon as the first
overtures for the settlement of the case
was completed. This was held to be
the most likely action by the creditors
for the reason that by so doing Castro's
government would the sooner be in a
position to comply with the terms of the
award.
The new turn of affairs has aroused
considerable discussion as to what view
the United States will take of the de-
termination to continue the blockade
until the final settlement Of the dispute.
II is also feared in some quarters that
Castro will take umbrage at what he is
likely TO consider the harsh action of
the powers and will go back on the
present peaceful settlement entirely
When the decision becomes generally
known loud protest is expected from
British and German mechants who have
large interests in Venezuela, and upon
whom the restrictions to commerce
have borne most heavily. It is also ex-
|pected that the foreign merchants III
