er Prinz Willem V. from Amsterdam ar
rived here today. After undergoing the

enter and discharge her cargo.

Washington, Dec. ao-The Venezuelan
negotiations now await upon President
Castro. Minister Bowen has been fully
advised by the state department of the
result Of its exchange with the foreign
Offices at London. Berlin and Rome, and
he has been charged to take the case in
hand himself and arrange the details Of
the protocol which will precede the sub
mission of the foreign claims to the arb-
tration of The Hague tribunal. In so
doing, Mr.. Bowen is acting, not as United
States minister but as Venezuela's repre-
sentative.
The officials here wish it to be distinctly
understood that their functions so far as
the Venezuelan difficulty was concerned
when they brought the parties to the con-
troyersy together are at an end.
By the latest Venezuelan advices it is
noted that President Castro is expected
at Caracas today and it is felt that he will
not consume much time in making up his
mind to accept the proposals held out to
him through Minister Bowen by the al
lied powers.
1t now seems probable that Minister
Bowen will come to Washington as Ven
eZuela's representative on the commission
which will draw up the protocol provid-
ing for the submission of the claims of
the powers of The Hague tribunal. 1t
has been decided that he may so represent
Venezuela, notwithstanding the fact that
he is at present charged with the inter
ests OF Great Britain, Germany, Italy
and other European powers in Venezu-
ella. As soon as he leaves Venezuela this

Mrs. William A. Clark, Jr., is reported to
be somewhat improved this afternoon, and
her condition is described as being about
the same as it was Saturday Sunday she
developed some unfavorable symptoms and
more alarm was felt than at any time since
the operation last week.
The attending physicians are very hope

Five stitches were taken in the cut OH
the head and his bruised face and lacer-
ated arm also bear evidence to the brutal
treatment he received at the hands Of Fitz-
simmons.
Fitzsimmons' motive in assaulting his
manager was jealousy of Munroe. Ball
and Munroc signed a contract shortly after
midnight last night, wherein the man

agreed to pay Munroe $500 per week.
When Fitz and Jeff heard of this they
were both enraged that Ball should have
deserted them for the new idol. Ball spoke
to Fitz in the hotel lobby and asked him
to decide what was due him as manager

carbolic acid one day in the hope Of
reaching the other side in hurry. He
said he took enough to kill two or
three people, but before the poison
completed the job Of delivering his
soul TO its last keeper, the unfeeling
doctor had come along and brought
back the fading life. But the opera
tion cost him his swallowing appa-
ratus, and he had been compelled to go
through life eating his meals through
a tube inserted in his throat. The man
was a veritable show around the bar
room for some days, and also at
neighboring restaurant, where he used
to get his meals. He usually ate n
couple of sOft-bOiled eggs for break
fast. de also drank quantities of cof-
fee, and all went through the funnel.
The people at the Central police sta
ton had a funny experience with the
man. He got too much liquor Cne
night, and was arrested and locked up.
The only articles on his person were a
funnel and few dimes. The man had
not been in the cell many minutes be-
fore he shouted for some one 10 bring
him a drink of water. The jailer
thought this was the usual request
from the overheated patient. and told
him there was a bucket of water in
the cell and he could drink to his
hearts contert But the man declared
> he could not Crink without assistance,
and finally the iailer went TO him. The
man then produced the funnel and re-
quested that the water be poured in.
The jailer nearly dropped dead, but he
thought he would be obliging. and he
| complied. In the morning when the
man repeated the operation at break
fast they began to realize that here
was freak proper.
So far as all the attributes of the
throat and mouth are concerned the
man has perfect control. He articu-
lates as well as anybody, breathes as
( well as anybody, and there is not the
slightest outward appearance Of ir-
regularity till eating and drinking
! time comes around, and then he had to
show his hand. or his neck.

Police Station.

There are men who eat with their
fingers in the rude way OF the fOreta-
theirs, and men who shovel in pie with
their knives, and also another class
which uses the fork with the right
hand, but, says the Picayune, a genius
who uses neither of these ways Of con-
veying his bread TO his bread basket,
nor his liquor to the place provided for
such things, showed up in New Orleans
some time ago.
There was nothing peculiar in the
mans dress or in the way he walked
up to the bar and called for drink.
The white-aproEed genius behind the
counter set out the poison just as he
did for everybody else. Al this the
man produced q small tin funnel from
his coat pocket and unvrapped a yard
or two of rubber tube from around his
neck and asked the barheeper TO kind
ly pour the whisky into the funnel. At
first the miXologisr believed somebody
was handing him a practical joke, but
the customer insisted and The whisky
was poured in. The man waited a mo-
ment and then smac!led his lips, re-
marked that the liquor was the genuine
article and then walked out.
1t was some time before the bar
tender could recover his breath, and
in the meantime the man was out of
range. But the man came around again
the next day and had several drinks.
The curiosity of the barman had
reached the point where he could no
longer control it, and he asked the
strange customer what il was all
about, and how it was he did not take
his swig like the rest Of mankind.
The man then said he had been
wanderer over the face Of the earth
for years, had originally come from
Ohio, and because Of disappointment
in business and the breaking up Of his
home had gulped down a big dose of

Diving Makes Men Cross

A professional diver says that one
of the strange effects of diving is the
invariable bad temper felt while work
ing at the bottom of the sea. As this
usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, it is probably due
to the pressure of the air affecting the
lungs, and through them the brain.
The eXhilaration and good temper of
the mountain climber is a contrary
feeling, from an opposite cause.
