PREMATURE STORY
 OF ARBITRATION
By President Roosevelt of the Venezu-
 elan Issues.

Washington, December 22.-President Roosevelt has not accepted the position of arbitrator of the Venezuelan con- troversy. In fact, when the official day closed he had not received formal ly or officially a request from the Eu. ropean powers that he act as ar0itra- tor in the dispute. These statements are made on the highest authority.
 Tn an informal manner the president has been notified that the European powers intimately concerned in the present South American difficulty de- sire that he should undertake the re- sponsiblity Of acting as arbitrator Of the points at issue between them and Venezuela. Thus far they have merely been taking "soundings" with a crew probably. of ascertaining how he would receive a formal proffer to act as arbi- trator.
 The president as soon as he received the first intimation that he was desir- ed to be arbitrator of the Venezuelan controversy expressed emphaticaiiy his judgment that the matters to be ar bitrated should be referred to The iASS uS tI4puHdi- IllS NleNS anu SuB- gestions made have been conveyed to tn European powers together with strong presentation his reasons for tn. view he holds. No response of a forma: nature to these representations has been received.
 The president and Secretary Hay had long conference today after the formers return from his Virginia trip. They carefully went over the situation as it had developed since Saturday but it is understood that nothing has arisen in the past forty eight hours to warrant the president in changing his opinion as to the undesirability of his acceptance of the position of arbitra- tor.

 OF SUFFERING
Following Collision of two Yes
 SeIS in Massachusetts Bay
Ten Men Driven Four Days in a Stormy Sea, Covered With Freez- ing Spray. Five Companions Gave Way to Their Sufferipgs.

Boston, Mass, December 22.-Almost crazed with sufferings. frostbitten and helpless, ten men in a boat were picked up by the schooner Manhasset yester- day forty-five miles off Highland Ligh. Then for the first time it was learned that the schooners. Frank A. Palmer and Louis B. Crary had been in a col lision and that they had been sunk off Thatchers island on Wednesday even ing.
 The survivors were landed here to- day. Of the twenty-one men Who made up the crews six were carried down when the vessels sank, four died during the terrible three days drift in Massachusett bay and another becams insane and jumped overheard.
 The two schooners, both heavily laden with coal, doubled Cape Cod in company and ran into a strong north wUster on Wednesday night. Both captains put their vessels over toward the Cape Ann shore. When Of, Thatcher island they split tacks and finally both came about at the same time and unknown to themselves. headed toward each other, tine CrGry holding north on the port tack and
 
 tack and therefore having the right oi way.
 The Crary crashed into the bow or the Palmer. The cut was deep and it was seen instantly that there was no hope for either vessel. Most O. the small boats were smashed and soue of the men were killed by the coi- lision. but others of both crews !duncn- .1 f,,t which clambered the captains or both vessels and thirteen others. There was not a moment for storing food and water and the rowers had propelled it only a short distance from the schooners when the Palmer went cowIi. Three minutes later the Crary disap- peared.

Four men of the Crary on Friday lay down in the bow of the boat and died. Eleven remained up till Saturday night and Franz BantG went insane. under the delusion that his mother beclconed to him anc he walked into the sea. The others W ere liON tIitSS lO ItSlItlIl mn.
 Shortly after this the two captains decided that the bodies of the four men should be consigned to the deep and bending over them. Captain Potter of the Crary, repeated as much of the burial service as he could remember Then the strongest of the survivors put the bodies overheard.
 In the three days and half that tine men were afloat their boat drifted steadily off snore until at s o'cloci. Sunday morning it was forty-fve mIies off Highland Light. There the iooH- out on the fishing schooner Mannasset caught glimpse of the boat and with in half and hour the ten men were in the cabin of the schooner. Captain Malone at once crowded on all sail and brought the men to Boston.

Dresden, Saxony. December 22.-The crown princess of Saxony fled from her home on the night O; December Il. The Dresden Journal says today: "The princess in q state of intense mental excitement suddenly deserted her fam fly at Salzburg. and went abroad. The saxon court functions for the winter including the New Years reception have been cancelled"
 The foregoing paragraph in today s official journal which was inserted by the order of the king and crown prince of Saxony has turned into truth what for several days past has been regard d as an incredible tale. The crown princess of Saxony surrounded b. her ladies in waiting and numerous attend ants and servants has vanished so utterly that the police of every king dom in Europe have for ten days been unable to trace her. The, official an uounCement is made in order to obtain the aid of the general public in finding her and because the court fiction that she preferred tO remain in retirement at Salzburg rather than return to her husband and children at Dresden can not longer be maintained.
 Accompanied by the cTCaH prince tk- princess went to the castle of Empercr F-ranz Joseph near Salzburg a month agO.
 A week alter their arrival at the cas- tie the prince broke his leg while hunt ing and was brought back to Dresden. The princess, however, remained at the castle. Why she did so, the people Of the court did not know except that with gloomy tenacity the princess us ually does what she pleases. For q lit- tie while this explanation suficed. Then fragments of gossip began to reach Dresden. It was said that the princess had surrendered herself to pc riods of nervous excitement and her occentricitics Of department caused much concern to her suite and some Of her Austrian kinsfOlk who were stay ing in the castle with her. It is now believed that she was under surveil- anCe and if this is true it makes her disappearance the more extraordinary.
 The narrative of events at Salzburg during the night Of December 11-12 as told in Dresden is that the princess who appeared to be in an unusually tranquil mood, retired before r o'clock. Three hours later vixen Q maid looked into her room. something in the ap- pearance of the bed prompted her to

Washington, December 22. (SpeciaD-- Senator Foraker Is confident that the omnibus statehood bill admitting OK lahoma, ArizoEa and New Mexico will pass the senate. In the absence of Senator Quay who left for Florida inn mediately upon the adjournment of congress, Senator Foraker has been looking after the interests of the sta;e- hood bill.
 In discussing the possibility of it's passage today, he said that there had been no break in the statehood forces and that in his judgment there would be none of sufficient importance to over come the majority of fifteen now claim cd by the statehood advocates. Tar. active support of Senator Foraker mas materially strengthened the statehOoi bill. Mir. FOraker. like Mir Quay, mas been a consistent supporter of Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 While the president protests that in legislation of this sort personal inter- ests and friendship should not be taken into account the friends of the omni- bus bill are confident that he will nol use his influence against the passing of the measure to the same extent that he would, if so many of his persona: friends were not advocating the bill.
 From the east comes a newspaper story of attempted obstruction on the part of the statehood advocates. It is charged that the friends of the oInn.- bus bills in the senate are willing to sidetrack all legislation rather than see their bill defeated and they are held up for public contempt as pocket borough obstructionists. The unfair ness of eastern newspaper agitation has never been more clearly shown than in the attitude over the statehood bill. All obstruction to legislation has come from the opposition to the omni- bus bill
 Senator Quay asked for a vote on December 10 and every day until ad- jOurnment. He repeated in the open senate his statement that tne 1riends of the omnibus measure were ready Tor a vote.

The princess brother. the Archduke Leo Ferdinand, Is said to be with her but nothing can be ascertained as to her whereabouts.
 It is officially explained that the princess disappearance is due to men tai derangeme-t. There is little doubt. however. that il was caused by domes- tic discord growing out O: her hus- bands elCtiOns with an actress of the Dresden court theatev.
