VIRTUAL DEFEAT.
British Comment on Outcome of
Venezuelan Affair.

London, Dec. 27.-Except by oppo-
nents of the government, who view it as
a virtual defeat and as discrediting the
ministry, the latest phase of the Vene-
zuelan trouble has been welcomed very
lukewarmly. Arbitration by President
Roosevelt has been anticipated as so de-
sirable an issue from difficult business
that his refusal, which is regarded as
final. has caused keen disappointment
1t is foreseen that, even if satisfactory
conditions to the submission of the dis
putes to the Hague court can be ar
ranged, this method will entail endless
and wearisome details, with no assur-
ance that at the end President Castro
will still be in power, or Venezuela in
the mood to abide by the decision OF
The Hague. In short, that element of
guarantee which would have accompa-
MED President Roosevelt's acceptance
OF the office of arbitrator is now lacking.
At the same time it is admitted that
from the American point of view Presi-
dent Roosevelt has done wisely in de-
clining to act.
The foregoing represents the general
drift of newspaper comment this morn
ing. The only paper which really well
comes the decision to refer the matter
to The Hague is the Radical Daily
News, which sees chance of making
arbitration once more a reputable the
DRY, paying tribute to the GOODNESS of
President Roosevelt and the correct at
titude of the United States during this
"sorry business" The Daily News
says:
"The Venezuelan crisis has done
much to enhance Mr.. Roosevelt's repu-
tation, and to bring home to English
men the essential friendliness of the
American people,"
The Daily Mail, in violent attack
upon the government, says:
"Thns ends perhaps the most inglori-
Gus episode in which Great Britain has
engaged in in recent years."

Propose to flake
Artificial Diamonds

The manufacture Of artificial dia-
monds has long been regarded as an
impossibility. A score of men learned
in chemistry and skilled as lapidaries
have spent years in IA fruitless endeav-
or to equal the product OF nature III
this direction. Now, however, the pros
pect of the manufacture Of diamonds
by scientific means is considered so
likely as to be predicted in a govern
ment report. 7. G. Martin. an expert
special agent Of the census office. has
written a long and very interesting re-
port on the electrical industries Of the
United States, in which he incidental
ly refers to the attempts that have
been made to produce diamonds arti-
ticially. He recalls the fact that Mois-
san, the Frenchman. pushed the EN-
ployment of the electric arc so far as
to produce minute fragmentary dia-
monds in his furnaces. .Moissan also
noted the production of graphite from
a diamond heated in the arc and from
the similar treatment of sugar char
COul puTlllcu ny CHAoi iuC anu VI PuAA-
fed wood charcoal.
I'm fact" says Mr.. Martin. cit was
due to his investigation in this field
that he was led to his celebrated OBJ
servation on the formation of dia-
monds by the sudden cooling in mer-
curry or lead of molten iron saturated
with carbon. Out of all such work it
was but natural that fanciful specula-
tons should arise as to the possibility
of establishing factories for the regu-
lar manufacture of genuine diamonds
at Niagara Falls. where the cheap cur
rent and other essentials would be
available. but nothing has resulted
within the period under consideration
from these plausible and sanguine the
cries. The fact remains. however, that
in our modern electrical furnaces dia-
mond dust has been produced, and the
steps leading to the manufacture Of
larger crystals will be but sequential."

LAND SWINDLE.
Filings at Spokane That Are Evil
IDENTIFY Worthless.


Spokane, Dec. 24.-What appears to
be an extensive land sWindle has Just
been reported to Commissioner Her.
mann by Register W. H. Ludden of the
United States land office here.
For several weeks applications for
coal land locations in this district have
been coming in from Hood River, Or;
South Bend, Wash; Ellington, S. d. i;
Waterloo, Ia, and Farwell, Mich, all
apparently sent at the instigation of
the same "promoter" who, it is be-
lieved, collects $40 from applicants on
the pretense of locating coal fands for
them.
The applications are worthless, no
money accompanying them, and the de-
scriptions not conforming to any land
in this district. Further, the Register
knows of no INDICATED coal lands of
value in this district available for loca-
ton.

Outcome as Practically a DE.
feat.

Washington, Dec. 27-Presdent Roos
evelt will not be the arbitrator of the
Venezuelan controversy. The whole
vexatious subject will be referred for
adjudication to The Hague tribunal.
Epitomized this was the situation as
1t had resolved itself at the conclusion
Of the cabinet meeting. The meeting
was not 50 long as the sessions usually
are. All the members except Secretary
Root were present. The Venezuelan
question was the principal and practi-
cally the only topic of general concern
under consideration. Secretary Hay
presented the results of his cable cor
respondence with the governments at
London, Berlin, Rome and Caracas. In
accordance with the suggestion made
by president Roosevelt, through Secre-
tary Hay, President Castro was report
ed to have agreed to submit the diff
culties to the arbitration OF The Hague
tribunal. The European powers not
only consented to submit the contro-
versy to arbitration, but while they ex.
pressed preference for an arbitration
to be conducted by President Roosevelt,
they had assented to his suggestion
that the matter be referred to the
Hague.
The presentation OF the case met the
hearty approval of the cabinet. No
fear is expressed by the administration
that the Monroe doctrine will be
brought into the controversy in any
manner that might result in an en-
barrassing situation for the United
States. Secretary Hay Is preparing a
note to the powers in which the gratifi-
cation of this government is expressed
for the course agreed upon. No intima-
ton is given of the conditions which
may have been imposed by the Euro
pean powers, or by President Castro,
precedent to the arbitration. 1t is
known that Great Britain was willing
to submit to the arbitration of Plesi-
dent Roosevelt practically without con-
ditions, but the suggestion is made
that one and perhaps two of the other
powers involved proposed some condi-
tions which might have proved embar-
RAISING to the president had he under.
taken the responsibility of determining
the question.
1t is understood that some money
must pass, but it is also known that
the amount of cash to be required of
Venezuela before arbitration is not
nearly so large as has been stated. 1t
is not possible to learn, either, whether
the allies insist upon apologies from
Castro, and while it is assumed that
the blockade will be speedily raised,
no arrangement to that end has yet
been made.

LOng-ago missionaries, whose chron-
Ologic notions were a little bit con-
fused. declared that Buddhism was a
palpable imitation Of. II not deliber-
ate steal from Christianity. Besides
the similarities In tenet were those in
ritual and ceremony. This likeness
may be seen by any New-Yorker for
himself. The heavy immigration Of
Neapolitans and Sicilians has produced
several celebrate Italys in New York.
which celebrate the festas of home
with more enthusiasm even than is OBJ
served in the fatherland. A feature Of
these celebrations Is the presentation
to the Virgin.
On the other hand, in Chinatown
nearly every grocery store carries a
stock Of Oriental votive candles, which
are presented to Buddha; the goddess
Of mercy. Qwang Yin; the god of war,
Qwang II, and the god of literature.
Man-Mo- New. These candles are
made to suit all tastes, as well as all
conditions of the pocket book. They
range from poor, cheap, little red af-
fairs like the Christmas tree candles
up to stately creations. four. five, nnd
six feet in length. The Italians use
both red and white, while the Chi.
nese confine themselves almost eXclr-
sively to red. They use white and yell
low upon special occasions. white
candle being symbolic Of death and a
yellow one of heaven. or the son Of
heaven. who is the emperor of the
celestial kingdom.
Formerly both the Chinese and Ital.
ians depended for their candles upon
importing merchants. In the last few
months the manufacture has sprung
up In New York and now attains fair
proportions. In many respects the
New York candles are better bits Of
workmanship than the imported ones.
The latter are usually softer and
greasier than the former and produce
smoker light. The homemade are
manufactured from stearin. paraffin
or wax. although the last-named sub
stance Is growing into disusc The
finest quality imported from China are
made from insect wax specially per-
fumed. while one variety of the Ital-
ian imported is made from clarified
wax Of fine quality. perfumed with
the mild scent of blossoms
Both Italian and Chinese, says the
New York Post, employ candle
which is really shell within which
the candle itself is placed and held in
position by means of a helical spring
at the bottom of the she'll These
shells are often profusely decorated
and are strikingly handsome. The
Italians prefer as ornamentaton leaf
work and geometrical patterns. while
the Chinese like minute bas-reliefs Of
men, gods. dragons, mountains and
landscapes. A handsome shell with
candle within ranges from 81 up to
$50. according to size and workman
ship. 1t is durable and is used as an
ornament in n church or a josshouse
for many years.
