rHB VENEZUELAN TROUBLE.
The Situation Does Not Appear to he Any
Nearer . Settlement In Great
Britain or Germay.

London, Dec. 17.-Judging from
statements given out by the foreign
Office the Venezuelan situation does
not appear to be any nearer q set
Element. Up to q late hour last night
NO suggestion had been made that
Great Britain could eventually see
its way to submitting its claim to
arbitration, and the foreign office
points out that Venezuela's offer to
arbitrate Is extremely vague. Presi-
dent Castro, In the communication
in which he expresses his willing
ness to resort to arbitration, pro-
vides no guarantee that the rights
Of British subjects In Venezuela
will be respected pending the award.
The foreign Office claims that some
matters are impossible to arbitrate,
instancing the disrespectful treat
ment of Mr.. lIaggard, British minis
ter to Venezuela. To arbitrate the
financial claims, however, will meet
with no opposition in official circles
in London, nor is there any desire to
stir up opposition here by continu-
ing unnecessarily the present armed
compact with Germany; but, quoting
from the foreign office, ut the same
time there Is NOT the slightest in
clination TO let Venezuela go unpun-
ished for her repeated insults and
injuries, The offer to arbitrate
comes very late in the day. We are
not seeking q quarrel, but we must
insure ourselves against a recnr-
renee of the acts which led to the
present situation"
The Opinion Of Germany.
Berlin, Dec. i7.--'rhc German gov
eminent has not yet replied to Presi-
dent Castro's offer Of arbitration,
being still in correspondence with
the British government on the sub
iect. The opinion in the cabinet APP
pears to be that President Castro's
proposals are merely move in
game designed to see what Germany
and Great Britain are now willing
to do and as q test also of American
public feeling.

Will Benefit the Whole City

now assessed at ~ or s3 per foot
would soon reach value that could
be assessed at from 90 to $40 per foot,
showing that the property which
would be directly benefited by the pro-
posed sewers will be the property that
will really pay the larger part Of the
cost. Property owners owning small
houses and homes assessed at from
81, 900 TO 1000, upon a levy Of nine
cents per 500, will, you see, pay only
from ninety cents to $3.50 per year
for this contemplated Improvement.
A few years ago the city Of New
Orleans, having postponed and put of
the building of a proper sewerage
system, finally reached the conclusion
that It must have streets and sewers,
and plenty OF them, and to show that
the people there were in good earnest
they contracted for sl7, 900, 900 worth
Of sewers and S14 900, 900 worth OF
streets, which they have been build
ing and are still in course of construc-
ton.

that The Sun did not misquote him,

Mayor Granger, Of Louisville, has
just issued = proclamation giving
several good reasons why the vote On
sewer bonds should carry. They APP
ply in measure to the vote on street
improvement bonds in Paduoah and
are Is follows;
To pay for the bonds will neoessi-
tate levy Of nine cents on each 500.
Heretofore there has been levied for
street reconstruction from four 20
eight cents and for sewer oonstruo-
tion from three and a quarter to
nine cents. While this has done
some good in a measure, it has done
no good in certain parts Of the city
where most needed. should this bond
issue be approved by the people, 1t
will not be necessary TO make a levy
covering these two accounts
There has been considerable discus
sion about this being an expense upon
the taxpayers: formerly streets were
built and sewers placed in such parts
of the city, as mentioned above, as
were Of benefit only locally. The
property which would be benefited
by the proposed sewers, in my opin-
ion, would increase in value to such
an extent that the property which is

COLONEL LAWSOE'S LATEST
He is Reported to Have Killed a
Large Whale.
A Bomb Lance Fired Into IL and it
disappeared for Several Days.

The latest adventure Of Colonel
Thomas W. Lawson OF Boston, the
copper king, and formerly mayor of
out little neighbor, Grand Rivers,
where he built the big iron fu rnaces,
was recently where no went whale
hunting.
A mammoth finner whale, nearly
20 feet long, with bob lance in his
side, lies dead ON the shore at Ellis
Vile And the fisherman who found il
expects that IL will be claimed by the
Boston millionaire. A few days ago
Mr.. Lawson's palatial ocean going
yacht Dreamer was cruising of Bos-
ton light, when large whale was
sighted. The yacht is equipped with
almost every conceivable device, and
the sailormen lost no time in rigging
their apparatus for the chase and GO
ing in pursuit of the big finbsck.
According to the story, they managed
to get near enough TO fire a bomb
lance, and the whale disappeared be-
meath the water. Whales killed in
this manner are often lost track of for
several days, and the victim of the
Lawson hunt is believed to have been
found.
Despite the storm, hundreds visited
the scene today and viewed the mon
ster, which lies high and dry at low
tide and resembles nothing 50 much as
the hull Of some disabled vessel.
Whales of this size and this species
are not freq uently found in the wa
tiers of Cape God, and the unfortu-
nate is believed to have strayed from
Hatterss way to meet death in the
north Atlantic.
Several offers for the monster have
been made, one man proposing to en-
balm the big fellow and exhibit 1t at
the ST. Louis fair.
