EXCHANGE OF NOTES
OVER THE DISPUTES

Washington, Dec. a7.-There is now in
progress an active exchange of notes be-
tween the allied powers, Venezuela and
the United States respecting the method
of submitting to arbitration the issues
which have arisen between Venezuela and
the allies.
Questions are being put and answers
are forthcoming, but it is said the nego-
tiations are in such shape that it would
be extremely injudicious to make each
phase public if there really existed a de-
sire to reach satisfactory settlement.
1t is explained at the state department
that the part of the United States gov
ernment just now is that of good
friend" to all parties that it is not under
taking to draw up protocols or impose
limitations upon the parties, but is CON
fning its Offices to getting them together
and keeping them.
In his view it will not be necessary for
our government to prescribe how the Mon
roe doctrine shall or shall not figure in the
protocols; it will judge for itself by re-
suits how our interests are affected and
will not indulge in premature or uncalled
for protests.
As for the terms of the arbitration, it is
stated that they are in a fair way to be
speedily adjusted, but nothing can be said
of the details. 1t is presumed that the
allies will agree to terminate the blockade,
though no stipulation has yet been entered
into on that point.
Nothing has been heard recently of the
part to be taken by United States Minister
Bowen in the final settlement, and it begins
to appear that, after ALL Venezuela will
probably be represented by one of her own
people

London, Ont, Dec. IA train wreck,
bringing death to over two score of per-
sons and terrible pain and suffering to
about forty more, occurred at 1910
o'clock last night at Wanstead, Canada,
a station on the Sarnia branch of the
Grand Trunk. forty. miles from this city,
when the Pacific express, flying westward
at the rate of so miles an hour and crowd
ed to its utmost capacity with passengers
returning to their homes from holiday
visits, crashed into an eastbound freight.
The latest estimate of fatalities is 80
killed and IS or more injured.
The darkness and the raging Of bliz-
zard added horrors to the wreck For
tunately the fire horror was averted. A
fire broke out in the day COACH but it
was smothered with snow and coats
which were thrown OH it before it gained
any headway.
The Pacific express is fast train Last
night it was delayed two hours by the
heavy travel and at Wanstead it was
speeding to make up time. The freight
was working slowing east under orders
to take the switch at Wanstead and allow
the express to pass. In the binding snow
storm neither engineer saw the other train
approaching apparently and the freight
had just commenced to pull in OH the
siding when the passenger train came up

Philadelphia, Dec. a7.-The second ses-
sion Of the fifteenth annual meeting OF
the American Economic association, held
at the University of Pennsylvania, was
devoted to discussion of the topic, Pub
lie Regulation of Railroads"
The principal speakers we're; Charles A..
Prouty, interstate commerce commissioner,
whose paper was on National Regulation, ;
and Walker ID. Hines, vice president of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, who spoke
on Legislation Regulation of Railroad
Rates"
Mr.. Prouty said: Five years ago the
crying need in railroad operations was dis
elimination, mainly discrimination be-
tween individuals.
To-day this is not true. The vast con-
solicitations of the last few years, the use
of the injunction to prevent departure
from the published rates, the lesson which
railroad operators themselves have learned
that competition in rates is always suicide
since it does not increase business and does
reduce revenues, have largely eliminated
such competition. Such discrimination ap-
pears, but in its place comes the danger
attending every monopoly"
Rates Are Advancing.
AS these combinations have proceeded
tn cpublic has been repeatedly assured that
there was no danger of any advance in
freight rates. Rates have been advanced
and are still advancing The interstate
commerce commission has recently con-
cluded an investigation into a general ad-
vance of rates on hay and decided that
such advance was justihablc. No attention
has been paid or will be paid to that de-
sion since there is no way in which il can
be enforced, but the testimony in that case
shows that this advance In rates cost the

Rome, Dec. a7.-Ambassador Meyer to-
day presented to the foreign Office Presi-
dent Roosevelts note on the subject of
Venezuelan arbitration. The president
says that although he is very gratifed at
the confidence the powers have shown in
him by choosing him as arbiter, which po-
siton he would have accepted if there
were no other means Of solving the ques-
tion, he thinks it better to submit the case
to the Hague tribunal, especially as all the
powers concerned are willing.
The president adds that as there is no
question of honor or cession of territory
involved, after thorough consideration and
in accordance with all the powers con-
cerned who have shown an honorable
spirit of mutual consideration and moder-
alton, he is glad to be informed that they
all have agreed to submit the question to
the Hague tribunal.
