ALLIES AND THE HAGUE.
French Protest That Pence Tribunal
Has Been Dfsrogarded. @

Paris, Dec 25.-Baron D'Estournelles
de Constant has written to Foreign
Minister Delcasse notifying him that
the writer will interpellate the govern
ment on the reassembling of the cham
ber concerning the disregard of Article
27 of The Hague convention shown by
the allied powers in coercing vene-
zuela.
In his letter Baron D'E,stournelles
strongly supports the contention Of the
United States that the Venezuelan
trouble should be referred to The
Hague court. After pointing out that
the present is just the contingency con-
tenplated by Article 27 the writer
says: t... ii r.
THE conflict exists between Vene-
zuela and several of the signatories to
The Hague convention, and the formal
obligation that France and the twenty

Grows In Berlin That Roosevelt VIII
Accept tho Task.
Washington, Dec. 25.-It was stated
at the state department to-day that the
president had reached no decision in
regard to the invitation of the powers
that he arbitrate the Venezuela matter.
1t is possible that his decision will not
be forthcoming for several days. Cor
respondence is being exchanged daily
between the state department and the
foreign offices with reference to the
subject. Secretary Hay was at the
White house to-day and held a brief
conference with the president on the
Venezuelan situation.
Caracas, Dec. 25.-President Castro
has telegraphed from La Victoria his
acceptance of the proposal to submit
all pending differences to the arbitra-
ton of The Hague tribunal, subject to
certain conditions, which include cessa-
ton of the blockade and the return to
Venezuela of the fleet seized by the al
lied powers. President Castro's accept
ance has been transmitted to the Wash
ington government, from which the
proposal emanated.
Berlin, Dec. 25.-The Lokal Anzeiger
publishes to-day the following state
ment, which was evidently inspired by
the foreign office:
''The German government has exclud-
ed from the scope of arbitration OF the
Venezuelan difficulty claim of 1,70O'-
900 bolivars, which must be paid imme-
diately in cash before arbitration is be-
gun"
The paper adds that it is understood
here that President Roosevelt's under
taking to arbitrate involves an indirect
guarantee for the payment of the sum
to be awarded.
Confidence has grown in government
circles during the past tWenty-four
hours that President Roosevelt Will ac-
cept the task of arbitration.
Rome. Dec. 25-The only conditions
which Italy has attached to her accept
arlce of arbitration Of the Venezuelan
difficulties are that all points in dispute
shall be submitted to the arbitrator so
that no questions shall be left undecid-
ed. and that italian claims must be con-
efdered on an equality with those of the
5 other powers.

MUCH BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS
STARTLING STATEMENT BY THE
CATTLE COMMISSIONER.

Probably No Town In the State AbsO-
Iuteiy Free of the Disease-This the
Only Dangerous and Contagious
Affi,ction Found-Retter Quarters
Isccommcnded-Mo Fresh Air and
Sunlight Needed.
Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 25.-In view of
the recent scare given the farmers of
this state by the detection of foot and
mouth disease among cattle in territory
adjacent to Connecticut, the annual re-
port of the cattle commissioner, II. Q.
Averill, to the governor, is of more
than ordinary interest. He says:
Bovine tuberculosis is the only con-
tagious disease dangerous to public
health that has been found by the COM
missioner to exist among the domestic
animals of the state. Farmers and cat
tie owners are becoming more familiar
with the earlier symptoms of tubercu-
losis and realizing the danger in per-
mitting animals suffering with this
dread disease to remain in their herds,
are coming more and more to seek the
cooperation of the state in their eff
forts to weed out all tuberculosis ami
mails if possible before the disease gains
foothold in their herds.
| Farmers buying cows that have been
shipped from any of the large cattle
markets are advised to be on their
guard and to use every precaution to
protect their own herds from the in
i PRODUCTION of any diseased animals.
! The record of this department for the
past six years warrant the commits
sioner in making the broad statement
that probably no town in the state is
absolutely free from bovine tubercu-
/ losis.
| Additional windows in the barns to
admit more sunlight, more WhiteWashed
walls and ceilings to reflect the light
better ventilation and greater cleanll-
ness in the stables to provide sur
flciency of pure air for the cattle con-
fined therein will do more to KEEP
them healthy and make them profitable
than all the patent feeds and medi-
cines in the market"
Based on the census Of 1900 the com
missioner finds that the average COW
to-day produces during the year $14.S'
more than she did ten years ago, or
total increase to the owners of 10000
COWS in the state of $1,722,OOO.
The commissioner makes the follow
ing recommendations to the general as
sembly for the better protection of the
cattle interests of the state:
amend the laws so as to give the
commissioner additional authority a:
follows:
To quarantine all animals that have
been exposed to a disease of highly
contagious character.
To prevent domestic animals coming
into this state from a state in which
highly contagious disease Is known tt
exist among such animals.
To order the disinfection of the stal
and manger that have been occupied
bv an animal that was known to have
been afflicted with a contagious dis
ease
To use tuberculin with the consent o
the owner if an animal previously con
denned by him in a herd had beel
found affected with advanced tuber
c11losis"
