PRESIDENT STILL AWAITS REPLY
Roosevelt Has, No Answer to Request
That Hague Arbitrate-Formal Note
: Suggesting American Executive as
Arbitrator Now on the Way.

Caracas, Dec. 23-The blockade Is
proving prejudicial to American trade.
Fifteen importing houses in Caracas
have stopped placing orders in the
United States. Boulton & Co. are the
only importers of American flour who
have declined to increase the price of
this article The people benefit by
this firms action. 1t is estimated that
the food supply in Caracas will not
last much longer than fortnight.
Two more Venezuelan gunboats
have been found and seized by the
blockading fleet on the gulf of Paria.
They were taken to the British island
of Trinidad by the English sloop of
war Alert.
The Venezuelan gunboat the Miriam
da, the best vessel in the feet, is still
successful in escaping German pur-
suit. She is now in the most southern
part of Lake Maracaibo and beyond
the reach of the allies The German
cruiser Fake made an attempt to
cross the bar at Maracaibo without
pilot, but desisted in view of the dan
ger. She is now cruising outside the
=
bar.
fiesiaent Mot Yet Asked 20 Act.
y,:is,gsngton, Dec. z5.-President
Roosevelt has not accepted the posi-
. tion of arbitrator of the Venezuelan
controversy. In fact he has not re-
ceived formally or officially request
from the European powers that he act
.as arbitrator of the dispute. These
statements are made on the highest
authority. In an informal manner the
president has been notified that the
European powers intimately concerned

{ Guilty desire that he should undertake
the responsibility of acting as arbi-
traitor of the points at issue between
them and Venezuela. Thus far they
merely have been taking "soundings''
with view, probably, of ascertaining
how he would receive formal proffer
to act as arbitrator The president so
soon as he received the first intimation
that he was desired to be arbitrator
! of the Venezuelan controversy ex-
pressed emphatically his judgment
that the matters to be arbitrated
should be referred to The Hague tri-
bunal. While it is recognized by the
presidents closest advisers and by
the president himself that some un-
pleasant possibilities might attend his
performance OF the duties of arbitrator
of the Venezuelan difficulty, his friends
assert that he will shirk no RESPONSE

undertake. but will accept if the pow

Urgent Deficiency Bill Completed.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Throughout
yesterdays session the senate had
under consideration the urgent de-
fciency appropriation bill, and just
before adjournment passed it substan-
TALLY in the shape in which it was re-
ported to the senate by the commit
tee.
During the early part of the session
the case of Judge Arthur H. Noyes, Of
the district court of Alaska. and
Alexander Mckenzie and others was
discussed. Mr.. McCumber. Of North
Dakota, delivered an elaborate speech
in defense of Judge Noyes and Mr..
Mckenzie. He paid high personal
tribute to both men, characterizing
them as men of fine character. emf
nent ability and sterling integrity, in
capable Of doing the things with
which they had been charged. Incl
detally he criticized the circuit court
of appeals of San Francisco for per
hitting itself to be influenced Ev
prejudice and bias. He became in
volved in a colloquy with Mr.. Till.
man, who said he appeared in the
novel attitude of defender of the
United States judiciary. The South
Carolina senator had intimated that
he would deliver a speech on the
Noyes case, but at the conclusion of
Mr.. McCumber's speech he contented
himself practically with putting in to
the Congressional Record the de-
cision of the circuit court of appeals
or San Francisco in the cases of con-
tempt against Moves and Mckenzie.
In brief speech Mr.. Stewart re-
viewed the case, speaking strongly
against Judge Moves and his actions
in Alaska.

F|L|P|N0S Inclined
More Favorably Toward the
Civil Govement, Said
Gov. Taft.
MILITARY men MORE FRIENDLY
He Thought Army Authorities Were
Coming to Look With More Favor
Upon Civil NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Relations of the Two Branches.

Washington, Feb. Elm continuing
his testimony before the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines, Governor
Taft dealt especially with the ques-
ton of the relations of the civil and
military authorities in the Philip
pines.
Governor Taft said that originally
the civil and military control of the
islands had been in the hands of the
military, and that naturally there
had been some difference of opinion
between the military authorities and
the commission as to the method of
proceeding. This difference had
arisen with General Macarthur, and
there had been more or less cores
pondence on the subject The gen.
eral had contended that authority
over the islands was vested in the
military as the representative of the
chief executive, because the islands
were in a state Of war. In this view
the commission did not concur. This
difference did not, however, extend
to the control of the municipalities.
Explained Contention With Chaffec.
In this connection Governor Taft
explained at some length the conteu-
ton between the commission and
General Chaffee, which had, he said,
arisen over the habeas corpus pro-
vision in the commissions code That
provision had been incerted, he said,
to protect native officers who surren-
der and who are subject to arrest on
charges of crimes committed while il
the insurrectiOn service believed to
be contrary to the rules of civilized
warfare. Such charges against these
men were common, and often they
were unfounded. The provision had,
however, been invoked in the inter.
est Of an enlisted man, serving in
Cebu, who was seeking to secure his
release from the military service in
an indirect way. Thus a conflict had
arisen, and the question had been re-
ferred to Washington, with the result
that instructions had come back that
the differences must be compromised.
General Chaffee and | are on the
friendliest and most cordial terms
he said, "and we had no difficulty in
reaching an understanding after d
conference. Our compromise was
reached on the understanding that a
writ of habeas corpus would not lie
against military officers, a civilian en-
ploye of the military branch or a pris-
oner of war;
Governor Taft also said that there
had been some differences of opinion
as to other matters in the method Of
administration, and that naturally the
natives were more favorably inclined
oward the civil government because
they were represented by men of their
own nationality in that branch Of the
service, while on the other hand the
army was principally concerned il
bringing the war to an end. He
thought, however the military author
tiles were coming to look with more
favor on the civil institutions

What memories the holidays
always bring. The previous year
is lived over again in thought on
holiday week. Old men are say
ing in thought: Another of life's
mile posts has been reached, will I
see the next one? The brides of
the year are rehearsing in thought
the events of their marriage days;
young mothers are cuddling their
cherubs and telling them that all
the Christmas presents Of all their
lives do not compare with them.
Pale mothers through their tears.
are thinking of the children they
have been bereft of; they can still
feel the little hands clinging to
their robes and are still asking:
"Why were they taken from meg"
And are comfortless. The bust
ness man is counting in thought
his mistakes and his triumphs;
the poor mar who has worked for
a pittance can think of nothing ex-
cept of the slave upon his Chain,
bound to a life which has no re-
ward, save indiff erent clothes and
board and anxiety, The miser in
thought is counting his gains, but
the knowledge is before him that
it will be only a little while when
he will have to part with his treas
ures and he is fortunate if the
ghosts of his lost self-respect and
innocence do not haunt him. The
growing children wonder hat they
were content with such pretty gifts
as they received only a year ago.
The soldiers in foreign lands are
thinking what Christmas week was
in the long ago; the sailors, off ON
the tumbling seas, hear the Christ
mas carols of home as they swing
in uneasy hammocks. Hope which
is what makes mortals willing to
live is subordinated on Christmas
week to the memories of SO much
of life as has been lived.
We suspect there is more of SID
ness than OF Joy in those memories,
for nan is but a soldier on TIL
march and not many of his camp
ing grounds are looked back to
with pleasure.

Christmas carols are already
finging on the air; Christmas
bells will be ringing soon; child
rem are all expectancy and whether
Santa Claus comes with the ira
ditional reindeers and sleigh or
with a celestial automobile, it will
be all the same to them, so that his
stock for 1902 is inexhaustible.
The Christmas of ancient days was
the feast day for the harvest that
had come and disarmed the winter
of its terrors. The Christmas of
Christian countries is a time of
double rejoicing, rejoicing for the
harvest that makes sufficient the
winters food, rejoicing because it
marks the signal station that was
BET up nineteen hundred years ago
bearing to mankind the promise of
redemption and everlasting peace.
Hence Christians hail it with the
gratitude and joy which becomes
a day SO suspicious of peace and
hope: In the cathedrals its CON-
Ing ID greeted with ringing bells,
with all the pump and solemnity
of organ and choir, of robed priests,
of swinging censors, incense and
praise and prayer. In the homes
of the people are the babblings of
children's voices which may be as
cend higher than the organ roll
and the singing in the churches
for no mediator can come nearer
catching Gods ear than the voice
of a child. There is feasting and
merriment for "joy to the world,
the Lord is come" and Christmas
day symbols that day toward which
men look forward to when Peace
shall be the rule and when Care
and Sorrow shall have been driven
AWAY. 1t Is rightto put care aside,
right for the earth to be glad, for
around it centers all there is Of
hope for this world and the world
to come.
1t is right for neighbor to greet

heartiness; it is right to fill chill.
dren's hearts with gratitude to
Santa Claus, for when more years
come to teach the children that
the saint is a myth, the gratitude
will not be lost; it will only be
changed to the real Santa Claus,
