 to the transmission by the government of the United States of Venezuela's re quest for arbitration.
 Charge d'Affaires White was in touch with the foreign office throughout the day. He transmitted long dispatch to tiie state department at Washing ton, but this communication is not be lieved to contain anything in the na- ture of final decision. All negotia- tions are being conducted with ex- traordinary secrecy, but it is thought probable that MT. Whites dispatches to Washington have conveyed inquiries from the British government with re gard to Secretary Hays views as to the possibility of Venezuela carrying out the award of arbitrators. It may be stated authoritatiyely that Great Britain is making strenuous efforts to induce the United States to guarantee yenezue1a's compliance with the ind ings of arbitration.
 Inquiries made at the foreign ofics subsequent to the cabinet meeting brought no response.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1o, 1902.

Referring to the use of electricity in steel making q magazine writer has the following to say: Up the sides of the blast furnaces, by an almost yeru- cal incline, pass swiftly moving cars carving the ore. coke and limestone i'll the exact proportions requisite for the production of iron. Electric motors hoist and dump the contents of these cars into the furnace top. Two thous- and tons Of material are poured into each furnace daily, and yet single man at the hoist represents the only human agency connected With the lift ing, tipping and returning of the cars. Each furnace is tapped every three hours, but the times are so arranged at the nine furnaces that every tWen- ty minutes train load of metal IS hurried off to one of the two mixers. These are large boxes of peculiar con- struction and exceptional strength, into which the metal from the various furnaces is poured from the metal
 
 mixture uniform i'll quality. The pouring is accomplished by an electric motor tilting the car by means or turning bar. The enormous tanks or liquid metal are also tilted by an electric motor and their contents poured into other metal cars standing below. With an envelope of heat overwhelming and stiffng, this second train of rocking. metal-splashing cars makes it's way to the converter house where the metal is. refined into Besse- 1ner steel. It is the work of q moment to couple the electric motor to the turning bar that tits the car over, discharsing its white-hot and liquid metal into the mouth of the converter which has been turned down to receive it. Then back swings the converter with. a. auiekness wonderful for such a ponderous vessel. :

MONEY WILL NOT SATISFY.
Germany Demands an Apology Fror
 

Germany Demands an Apology From
 VenezueIas
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The state department nas learned that, as report
 ed in the Berlin dispatches, mere
 money payment will not meet Ger
 many's desires. Count Quadt, the Ger man charge, had a long interview with
 Secretary Hay touching Venezuela, and the fact is now apparent that. while
 money will satiAfy Great Britain and Italy, Germany must have an apology. The difference between her case and that of the other powers is that the
 German legation at Caracas was at tackled it's windows broken, the minis ter's sick wife terrorized and the Ger man national honor otherwise touched Tn a manner that cannot be healed by l money.
 l Touching the question of q guarantee of any obligations that may be as stunned by Castro as result of Mir.
 Bowen's good offices, it is suggested in ! official circles that. the United States being without power in the absence of ilegislation to assume direct any respon- sibility for the execution of Castro's pledges, it is still possible for the state department 10 give an assurance to any parties who nssght he induced to
 produce the money to pay the judg-
 ments against Castro that when the time comes for repayment the United States government would exercise it's
 good offices to see that the obligations
 were kept.
 I It is distinctly stated, however, that no pledge will be made on the part of the United States to forcibly collect any indebtedness of this kind.

The financial claims which fur nished England and Germany an ex- cuse for attacking Venezuela amount to about $2,oo0,ooo. About $1oO,ooo of this sum is due eeEnglaHd.>zzThe prin-. cipal part of this debt was incurred by the building of railroad. In 1S9o the Venezuelan government made ar rangements which enabled it to pay the interest upon this debt. Recently, in ,conseauence of a rebellion against the government, there was default 1n the payment of the interest. General Castro, with a view to renewal or the payment and interest, sent enyoys to the various European governments to negotiate for the unification of the entire Venezuelan debt. Their mis- sion was successful, and already the
 pIans for the payment i'll full of the
 Venezuelan debt were completed. Just then England and Germany presented
 their ultimatum and followed it up
 With the S10kIuS OI d lew v ellCHuSIsihi
 vessels 1t is quite evident, says one
 writer, that what they wanted was not so much the payment of claims, which, by the way, had never been audited, IS an excuse to attack little republic, which was unable to defend itself. It is a repetition on the American con Itinent of the crime committed i'll ATrl- fea, when England wiped out two re- ptihlies. It may well be that she is now playing second fiddle to Germany as part of the price she had to pay for Gerplany.s noll-interference in the Boer war Whether that be the req son for her joining ill this piratical
 foray upon Venezuela, or whether she was prompted to do so by her insati- able greed, it matters not. Both she and her German ally should have been
 told in unmistakable language to keep hands off our sister republics. There ] is line beyond which no administra-
 ton, however pro-British it may be,
 dare go, and had the little war gone a few shots further there might have
 been something doing if President
 Roosevelt is as strenuous as they tell about

Germany wants an Apology.

BERLIN, Dec 19.-Aslde from the financial claims mentioned in her ulti- matun, Germany expects some form of apology from Venezuela for the diplo- natic insults which the foreign office says are more serious and more gross than those of which Great Britain com nsains. The foreign officials point out that Premier Balfour's remark in the British house of commons about Ger many having ether than financial claims must be understood as applying to diplomatic reparation for these in- suits and not to material indemnity, like money or territory.

KEEP OUT OF REMOVAL FIGHT
sioux Falls Members Have No Desire
to AntaEOniEe Senator
KittredEe.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Dec 7.-(special)
The people in this part Of the state are
taking keen interest in the efforts being
made by partisans of Mitchell, Huron and
Redheld to have the question OF the re-
location of the state capital submitted to
the voters at the next general election
by the legislature which conyenes at Pierre
in January. While this (Minnehaha) county
will have the largest representation Of
any county in the legislature, II is stated
on good authority that the members from
this county will not take an aggressive
part in the capital relocation fight. but
will remain neutral by dividing their votes,
one half the members favoring the removal
proposition and the other half opposing It..
The determination to remain neutral arises
from the fact that Senator Kittredge is a
resident Of the county and as he will be
elected at the coming session of the leg
islature to the full term in the United
States senate commencing March 4 next,
his friends here and elsewhere in the
county have no desire TO antagonize tho
republicans from other sections OF the
state, who. while united IN his support,
are divided upon the proposition to re-
submit the capital location question.
