The morning newspapers express va
rious opinions as to the arbitration pro-
posals, but there is general agreement
that If by guarantee made by United
States or other means, Venezuela could
be bound to carry out an award. no rea-
son exists why Great Britain should re-
fuse to consent to a 3itration. It Is be-
lieved. however. that neither Great Brit
ain or Germany Is likely to accept the ar
bitration proposal. Statements attributed
to the consuls and other representatives
of Venezuela In other countries all be-
tray their feeling of dependence upon
the United States.
A dispatch from Berlin to the Morning
Post says the British commander in Ven
ezuelan waters as senior officer, will in
the future direct all joint action by the
Anglo-German fleet, after having con-
suited with Commodore Scheder, the Ger
man commander. Germany has no inten-
tion Of sending force TO the interior Of
Venezuela.
All German action, according to the
correspondent, will be confined to the
coast.

COTTON WEEVILS
COMING THIS WAY
EXPERTS ARE AT WORK TO KILL
THEM BEFORE THEY REACH
THE BELT, BUT so FAR WITH.
OUT SUCCESS.

Washington, December 12.-(special)-
According to government experts the
Mexican cotton boil weevil is no longer
confined to the Texas coast country and
to that part Of the state adjoining Mexi-
co, but is moving steadily northward and
eastward, and is now within sixty miles
of Red river
Under ordinary circumstances this
news would be calculated to cause great
alarm among the cotton-growers of the
states other than Texas toward which the
pests seem to be heading. 1t is. however
that the experts who are now at work in
Texas will be able to devise some ef-
fectual manner of fighting the pernicious
insects. in which event there would prob
ably be little or no trouble experienced
in securing an appropriation necessary to
carry on the work on the part of the
government.

p.ARMoMp MAKES INQUIRY.
Secretary of State Asked Position OF
United States In the Trouble.

washington December 12.-Representa-
tive DeArmond, Missouri, offered reso-
luton In the house today requesting the
secretary of state to inform the house
of the nature and extent Of Great Brit
ain and Germany's claim against Venez-
uela; whether the claims are disputed
by Venezuela, and by whom has over
trSes been made to settle peaceably by
arbitration or otherwise the matters sub
ject to controversy, and with what result
IL any, with full particulars.
The secretary of state is also asked as
to what part the United States has taken
In the controversy, If any, and by whom.
II any officers OF the United States have
been consulted by any of the parties to
the controversy, and In regard to what
matter and with what result.
Further inquiry is made of the state de-
partment as to what has been said and
done by the United States with relation
to the Monroe doctrine, and its due and
respectful observance transaction with
reference to the British and German
claims against Venezuela, and to what
extent the United States has been con-
suited or conferred with as to the sub
stance or application or applicability OF
the Monroe doctrine, and with what re-
suit and further what has Deen done
by this government to insure respect for
that doctrine together with any result
of such action. The secretary is asked fur
ther to inform the house whether In his
Judgment the United States can by
firm assertion of the Monroe doctrine
bring about or aid in bringing about
peaceful and fair adjustment of the dis
putes between the nations involved so as
to have fully respected the principles OF
the Monroe doctrine, and TO preserve the
governmental and territorial integrity
and independence of Venezuela
The resolution was referred to the COM
mission on foreign relations.
Protests viii Follow.
Washington, December 12.-If there is
an attempt to possess themselves of all
the customs receipts on the part of Great
Britain and Germany, protests naturally
might be expected to follow from France.
which holds claims aggregating more
than the combined claims of England
and Germany, and which, 1t is under
stood, has already been arranged for their
payment on an installment plan out of
Venezuelan customs receipts, an arrange
ment taht might be disturbed by the
British and German programme.
1t is evident here now that the allies
have been obliged to proceed against Ven-
ezuela far beyond the point of where
their original programme ceased. The
correspondence shows that there was not
the least apprehension that Castro in his
resistance would make 1t necessary for
Great Britain and Germany to go beyond
a peaceful blockade and 1t is the under
standing that the London and Berlin au-
thorites now are obliged to prepare
new programme for execution In case Mr..
Powen'a efforts at arbitration fail
