FROM THE BLOCKADE LINE
Minister Haggards View of the Cause
Our Flag at Trinidad.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. o.
The blockade of Venezuelan ports was
begun with an effective force at mid
night Saturday. The British have the
cruisers Indefatigable, Alert and Tri-
bune, the special service steamer Co
lumbine and the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Rocket along the coast. The
cruiser Arinadne, the flagship of Vice
Admiral Douglas, is here and will re-
main here. AL the British operations
will be directed from Trinidad.
1t is reported here that Haggard,
British minister to Venezuela, has said
that Great Britain acted only after
great provocation, and that the whole
world must approve of what she did

The United States battleships KeSr-

considerable comment on shore, but
when Admiral Higginson called upon
the acting governor of Trinidad and
the commander of the British ships he
took occasion to explain that the Wis

war was part of the usual winter trip

vessels entered the harbor the Char

a courtesy which was also extended
by the British ships. The salutes were
returned.

Holders of life insurance policies
should be interested in recent de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States. This upholds state
law Of Missouri, providing that suicide
does not invalidate an insurance pol
icy, even if the policy contains clause
to that effect. We have the impress
sion that most life insurance compan-
les have abandoned what was called
the suicide clause, and do not contest
payment of policies to suicides, unless
fraud can be shown. But probably
many old policies contain the clause.
The effect of this decision seems to be
to make these old policies good in case
of suicide, where there is state law
to that effect.

small item. A number of extra copies
were printed which may be had at this

Indications of Acceptance.
London, Dec. 22.-It is believed that
President Roosevelt's answer to the
proposal made by the allied powers
that he arbitrate the Venezuelan is
sues has been received in London. The
Strictest secrecy with regard to every
phase of the negotiations is preserved,
however and it is impossible to make
a definite statement, but such indica-
lions as are obtainable point to Presi-
dent RooseveIts acceptance of the Of
flee of arbitrator.
Would Surprise the Foreign Office.
It must be said that the acceptance
of the office Of arbitrator by President
Roosevelt would greatly surprise the
foreign office, which always has been
doubtful of the issue of the arbitra
ton negotiations, on account of the be-
lief that President Roosevelt, or the
United States, was not willing to I'M
dertake the responsibility thereby in

and Germany proposed lin reply to the
United States governments proposal
that the trouble be arbitrated) that

that with him as arbitrator the ques-

RAILROADS TO
PATCH UP TRUCE
Short Line and Rio Grande to
Settle Trouble.
DANGER OF CLASH IS OVER
DISPUTE WAS OVER MAINTEN.
ANCE OF CROSSING.

THE expected clash between the
Short Line forces and the Rio
Grande's over the former crossing
with its Saltair and bennington cut
off track the latters track on Fourth
West street did not occur yesterday,
and from late appearances the trouble
viii be settled amicably. The Rio
Grande maintained its obstructing
freight cars and switch engines at
tached, and until late in the day It APP
peared as though the Short Line would
take part with the opposition in a tug
of-War to clear the way for tracklay-
ing. While the cars stood in the way
OF were moved back and forth, gang
OF men in the Rio Grande's employ
made use Of the opportunity to move
It's track west a couple of feet so as to
be along the center line Of the street,
as required by the franchise which it
holds.
The bone of contention, as represent
ed by the management Of the Rio
Grande, is that the Short Line has re-
fused TO agree 10 maintain the crossing
at its expense, and that it has also re-
fused TO recognize the formers right to
have the right of way for trains, be-
cause of priority on the street at the
point in controversy superintendent
Welby said he believed the Short Line
will yield without resOrting to the
courts. As soon as this is done, the
Rio Grande will not dispute the claim
TO cross the tracks.
General Superintendent Calvin Of the
Short Line disclaims any knowledge
of the Rio Grande's claim that il is the
duty Of his company to 6Ist agree to
maintain the crossing without expense
to the Rio Grande or to give il the
right Of way over the Short Line trains.
However, Mir. Calvin was seen in con-
ference with Superintendent Welby
yesterday afternoon. and the legal rep
reseRtatives of both roads were later
comforting.
In railroad haunts it is believed that
the warning factions viii have patched
up truce by Monday morning so as
to enable the speedy laying of the Short
Line track down the east side Of
Fourth West street to Second South.

AMERICAN WINS
EMPEROR'S CUP
New Workers. Boat Too Fast For
European Yachts.
PROTEST AT ONCE FILED
IS WITHDRAWN AFTERWARD
WITH AN APOLOGY.

II TEL. June % The Uncle sam, owned
N by F. B. Riggs of New York. today
won her second race at the regatta
and the kaiser's gold cup, beating the
Mimosa Of the Hamburg club by eleven
seconds. and the Hansa. of Lubbock, by
three minutes and thirty-ftve seconds.
There were seventeen starters, and the
course was the same as that over which
the Uncle Sam sailed a winning race
last Thursday
The finish of the contest was a long
luffing match. The MimOsa led by two
lengths until within fifty metres Of the
finish line, when she lu1fed under the
lee of hill and lost the breeze, while the
Uncle Sam squared away and crossed the
line eleven seconds in front OF the Nj
mOsa. The conditions for the contest for
the gold cup were not three out Of four
races, as had been stated, but two cut Of
three. the fourth race being for a con-
ISOLATION prize.
After the finish of todays race the
owners of the MimOsa entered a protest
against the prize being awarded to ne
Uncle Sam. on the ground that that yacht
started from the wrong side Of the buoy,
and a snapshot photograph was submit
ted to the committee in proof of the as
sertiOn. This photograph showed what
purported to be the Uncle Sam starting
outside the buoy. ]. Hopkins Smith. IT.,
of Harvard, 1902. commodore of the Har-
ward Yacht club. and T. Barclay RiVes,
third secretary of the United States en-
bassy at Berlin, who sailed the Uncle
Sam, were positive they crossed the line
on the proper side of the buoy, and their
statements We're accepted.
Later it was shown also that the pho
tOgraph submitted TO the committee was
a picture of the John Bull an English
contestant in the race. When this was
brought out, the owners of the MimOsa
quite agreed that they were in error in
making the protest
The members of the yacht club express
pleasure that the Uncle Sam won, as they
think the result will stimulate American
interest in the Siel regattas.
