Bowen as Peacemaker.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-President Cas-
tro it is asserted, has authorized Min
lister Bowen to effect a settlement with
the powers. Mr.. Bowen simply awaits
the consent of the state department to
accept this task, assuming that the ma
tions named are willing that he shall
undertake this work. 1t is believed
that the critical phase of the Venezu-
elan difficulty is passed.
Whether the consent of these gov
ernments can be obtained will, it is be-
lieved here, depend entirely upon the
sufiiciency of any guarantee that can
be given for the faithful discharge by
President Castro of any obligations he
may assume as the result of Mr.. Bow
ems efforts The allies feel that they
must be assured against the conse
quences of another revolution and the
Reputation by the president who may
follow Castro of his undertakings
The effort to induce the United
States government to act as guarantor,
1t is safe to say, will not succeed, and
it is beginning to appear that there is
likely to be a mixed commission ap-
pointed to receive all Venezuelan Gus
toms and setting apart certain por-
ton for the maintenance of the Vene-
zuelan government disburse tic re
mainder among the powers until their
obligations are met.
The government of France has now
entered the field as an active party In
interest in the Venezuelan trouble.
The French government has, through
its ambassadors and charges and min
listers, served notice upon the govern
ments of Great Britain, Germany and
Italy. and by way of information has
also told Secretary Hay, that any pro-
vision made for the settlement of the
claims against Venezuela must recog-

Detectives Quinlan and Meehan went
around. Mr. Steers showed them Mrs.
Steers room on the second floor, rear.
There were marks on an open window
of a jimmy or other instrument but
Capt. Delaney thought it did not look
like a professionals work and believed
it an inside job. Mr.. Steers said he
would not suspect any one in the
house, as he trusted all his servants
implicitly, especially Branagan.
Nevertheless, Delaney determined to
watch the butler and every move he
made day after day was Swallowed by
the two detectives. He made no sus-
picious move, however, until Tuesday.

endeavoring to induce the President to
review his decision TO appoint Harry
Blum postmaster at Savannah. Mr..
Doyle had his pockest filled with po-
litical documents, hoping to persuade
the President that the Philadelphia in
dictment of two years ago had been
misconstrued by Postmaster General
Payne. who told Mr. Doyle frankly last
Saturday that his appointment was out
of the question. Although Mr. BUNS
nomination did not go to the Senate to-
day, Postmaster General Payne is Au
thority for the statement that the in
cident is closed and all appeals on the
part Of Mr.. Doyle will be futile. Mr..
Payne, it is understood had the polit
cal status of Mr.. Doyle fully explained
to him by Chairman Peasants of the
Savannah County Republican Commit
tee, who came here last week at the
instance of Mr.. Blum. This, in addi-
ton to Mr.. Payne's personal recollec-
ton of the case, made Doyle's reap
pointment an impossibility. Notwith-
standing a positive announcement at
the White House to-day that Mr.
Blun's appointment is assured, POST
master Doyle is still making desper-
ate fight to convince the adminlstra-

being made by denying him a reap

saw the jewels on the chiffonier. He
said he could not resist the temptation
of taking them, and he put them in a

OPPOSED TO TARIFF CHANGE.
President of National Cigar Leaf
Association Says Reciprocity Is
no0uorous


Cincinnati May 5.-The National CT
gar Leaf Tobacco Association met in
annual convention here to-day with
100 delegates present. Sessions will
continue three days.
The session to-day was devoted to
the report of the officers, especially
that of President John r. Young of
Philadelphia, which covered the ques-
ton of Cuban reciprocity and the re-
cent conferences of the officers of the
association with the Ways and Means
Committee at Washington.
In his final address, President Young
strongly opposed any change in the
tariff at this time. He insisted that
If anything shall be done at this ses-
sion of Congress, there would be a
horizontal reduction, and he urged the
convention to adopt a strong and en-
phatic resolution protesting against
any reduction in the present rate of
tariff, on the sole ground that such
reduction would destroy the protection
needed by the cigar manufacturer on
his high grade goods, and,
hence would be inimical to the
interest of the entire tobacco
industry. President Young said that
the association wanted a specific uni
form rate of duty on all tobacco, but
that 1t could not be obtained now, ana
the agitation of such project at this
time would be both unwise and dan
gerous.
He urged that all the tobacco men
should unite with the beet sugar men
in a united effort to defeat the So
called reciprocity bill, which he de-
nounced as nothing more nSc less than
bill for the benefit of united sugar
and tobacco trust" He warned the
members against the suggestion that
the duties on tobacco be treated sepa-
rately from that of the duties on ci-
gars.

Washington, May 5.-President
Havemeyer of the sugar refining COM
pany resumed his testimony concern
Ing the Cuban sugar situation before
the Senate Committee on Relations
with Cuba to-day. He was interro-
gated by Senator Teller, who began
the examination by asking for state
ment of the Missouri river points at
which the price of sugar was reduced
last year for the purpose, as Mr..
Havemeyer said. of regaining his
market.
Mr.. Havemeyer named Kansas City,
Lincoln, Fremont, Omaha, Council
Bluffs and Sioux City.
Mr.. Havemeyer said that In the
contracts made by the beet sugar men
with the grocers they agreed to sell
at 10 points under the prices on cane
sugar. 1T was not the difference in
price" he said. that we complained
of, but the more important feature,
the exelusiveness of the contracts
Speaking of attacks upon the trust,
Mr.. Havemeyer said many of them
were made for the purpose of getting
in foreign sugars at lower duty, to
the injury of the beet industry, as wen
as to the injury of the American Re-
fining Company He insisted that the
sugar company would have to pay as
much for Cuban sugar as it now pays,
even If the proposed congressional con-
cession should be made.
Suppose we should take the entire
duty off of Cuban sugar, would there
be reduction in the price of Cuban
production"
There would not be until the vol
ume of the Cuban production should
approximate our consumption. Until
then the Cubans would get the benefit"
Suppose Is per cent. should be added
to this duty?"
THE added expense would come out
of the Cubans. The price would be
the Hamburg price, plus the duty
He added in this connection that the
apprehensions of the beet sugar men
were entirely fallacious.
Responding to other inquiries, Mr..
Havemeyer said that his company
makes no contract with persons buy
ing its sugar requiring them to sell
trust sugar exclusively. THAT was
tried some years ago" he said, but
the system was abandoned"
Mr.. Teller questioned the witness as
to where he would secure his sugar,
should the Cuban crop not be market
ed for several months. He replied that
ne would look to Porto Rico and South
America, where there is an iI1exhausti-
BILE quantity of cane.s
Mr.. Teller-Suppose we don't make
any concession to Cuba, where will the
crop be marketed?
Mr.. Havemeyer-It will come right
here, and we will get 1t anyhow
Mr.. Teller-If we should reduce the
tariff on sugar 20 per cent, would the
consumer get any advantage of that?
Mr. Havemeyer-None whatever.
Mr.. Teller-Would the trust get
any?
Mr.. Havemeyer-None whatever.
Senator Teller insisted that the trust
would say. We will pay just what
we have been, less the concession" and
the Cuban producer would have to take
what he could get. but Mr.. Have
meyer denied this
