Washington, Dec. 27.-There is now

between the allied powers, Venezuela

method of submitting to arbitration IS
sues which have arisen between Nene-

Washington, Dec. 27.--"No currency
bill win be passed at this session of
congress" was the important predtc-
stion made this afternoon by Secretary
Shaw. He bases his prediction upon
conferences with congressional lead
ers. While he has abandoned hope
of securing any relief before adjourn
ment next March, he will keep up his
campaign of education with the ex
pectation that something may be done
ia year hence.
Only fifty legislative days remain of
the present session, and the leaders
say that nothing except the reguls,-

measures to which there is no objec-
ton can pass in that time
While there is a general feeling that
the currency laws should be amended
so as to prevent stringency in crop.

opinion as to the form the relief should
take. The treasury department does

ably be defeated.

Decision Not to Act as

WILL CORRESPONDENT POWERS
Subsidiary Questions Relating to Rails
ing Blockade and Framing Definite
Form of Request to The Hague Tri-
buna! to Be considered-EnsIand Is
Pleased.

Berlin, Dec. 27.-The German gov
ernment is disappointed by President
Roosevelt's declination to be arbitrator
in the Venezuelan dispute and in pur-
suance of his decision will correspond
at once with Great Britain and Italy on
subsidiary questions that must now be
agreed upon, such as raising the block
ade and definite form of request
whereby Venezuela on one side, and
Germany, Great Britain and Italy on
the other will ask The Hague tribunal
to adjudge the dispute. An interchange
of views probably will take place at
where the ambassadors
can confer freely with Secretary Hay
and obtain thru him Castro's assent to
precise propositions.

LONDON is GRATlFIED.
People Generally Pleased With Turn of
Venezuelan Affairs.

London, Dec. 27.-Except by the op-
ponents of the government who view
it as a virtual defeat and as discredit-
ing the ministry, the latest phase of
the Venezuelan trouble has been well
coined very lul1ewarmly.
Arbitration by President Roosevelt
had been anticipated as SO desirable an
issue from difficult basis that his re,
fusal, which is regarded as final, has
caused disappointment. 1t is fore
seen that even if satisfactory condi
tions to the submission of the disputes
to The Hague court can be arbitrated
this method will entail endless and
Iwearisome details with no assurance
that at the end President Castro still
will be in power or Venezuelan in the
mood to abide by the decision of the
Hague tribunal. In short, that ele-
ment of guarantee which would have
accompanied President Roosevelt's ac-
ceptance of the Office of arbitrator is
now lacking. AT the same time it Is
readily admitted that from the Ameri-
can point of view President Roosevelt
has acted wisely in declining to act.
The foregoing represents the general
drift of newspaper comment this morn
ing. The only paper which really well
comes the decision to refer the Ven
ezuelan matter to The Hague is the
radical Daily News, which sees 6
chance of making arbitration a theory
of paying tribute to the coolness of
President Roosevelt and the correct at
titude of the United States during this
business. The Daily News says:
'grhe Venezuelan crisis has done
much to enhance Mr.. Roosevelts repu-
tation and to bring home to English
men the essential friendliness of the
American people"
The Daily Mail, in a violent attack
upon the government, says:
Thus ends the most inglorious epi-
sode in which Great Britain has en-
gagged in recent years."

MAYOR HARRISON URGED.
Friends Want Him to Run Again :
barrow May Be Candidate.

Friends Want Him to Kun AGAIN
barrow May Be Candidate.
Chicago, Dec 27.--Mayor Harrison's
friends are trying to persuade him to
make public announcement that ne
will be d candidate for renomlnatlon
next spring. They want him to come
out as a candidate so that his follow
ers may get to work in the various
wards to organize for the primary
campaign. The Tilden democracy and
the anti Harrison forces generally are
said to be preparing for contest at
the primaries, and the mayors friends
are anxious to be in a position TO meet
the issue. Chairman Carey and Secre-
tary Lahiff, of the democratic county
committee are formulating q plan OF
party organization which will be sub
mitted to the county committee at It's
next meeting The plan includes
system of precinct organization, unit
ed in ward clubs. and modelled mainly
after the republican organization In
Cook county.
One story current yesterday was
that a number of the mayors friends
called on bim at his home Christmas
day and urged him to declare himseif
a candidate, but this was denied In
vigorous language by one of the may
or's close friends.
That the mayor will be a candidate
is taken for granted by his friends
and political advisers. They predict
that there will be no opposition TO
him at the primaries or in the conven-
ton, and declare that the Tildepftes
and the faction led by McGillen, Burke
and others will, abandon the proposed
fight on Harrison before the primaries
come on It has been known that some
OF the Tildenite leaders favor allow
ing Harrison to have the nomination
without opposition. 1t is on this fact.
probably, that the Harrison people base
their prediction that the .antis" will
make no fight at the primaries The
Harrison men are saying also that
several of the fifty-two committeeman
who voted for McGillen for chairman
of the county committee are now trying
to make terms with the mayor.
Just when or in what way the mayor
will announce his candidacy for renorn-
ination is not divulged by his friends
but they say that it may be stated as
strongly as words can make 1t that he
will be a candidate. They say also
that Clarence S. Darrow win not be
a candidate, but will support Mr.. Har-
rison. On the other side 1t is said
and that he Is waiting for something
in the nature of popular demand for
him before declaring himself.
