Had Hoped That President Roose-
 welt Would ArBitrate.
 LONDON, Dec. 27.- Except by the opponents of the government, who view it as a virtual defeat and as dis craditing the ministry, the latest phase of the Venezuelan trouble has been wei comcd very lukewarmly. Arbitration by President Roosevelt had been apt.c- ipated as So dasira ble aE issue from < difficult business that his reeusal, which is regarded as final, has caused keen disappointment. It is foreseeIi that even if satisfa etory conditions to tho submission of the disputes to The Hague court can be arranged this method will entail endless and weari- some details, with no assurance that at the end President Castro will still be in power or Venezuela in the mood to abide by the decision of The Hague. Tn short, that element of guarantee which would have accompanied Presi- dent Roosevelt's acceptance of the of flee of arbitrator is now lacking At the same time it is readily admitted that from the American 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 wei comes the decision to refer the Venezu- elan matter to The Hague is the Radi- cal Daily News, which sees chance of making arbitration once more rep utable theory. Paying tribute to the coolness of President Roosevelt and the correct attitude of the United States during this 'sorry business the Daily News says, "The Venezuelan crisis has done much to enhance MT. Roosevelt's reputation"
 The Daily Mail, in a violent attack upon the government, says. "Thus ends perhaps the most inglorious episode in which Great Britain has engaged of recent years"

TRADE CONDITIONS.

Hustness Quiet Owing to Holidays. Cotton Market Starts Up. d NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Trade and speculation experienced the customary holiday quiet except in Christmas goods, which sold freely, many packing and shipping depart ments being still engaged on this class of work which could not be completed at the specified time. Industrial un- dertakings are interrupted in many cases by the taking of inventories, while other plants are closed because fuel cannot be obtained. Orders still come forward freely, and the new year will open with more business on the books than ever before Prices of com mo.iitiee are firmly held by the steady domestic demand, and there Is good export movement of the leading sta ples. In this, as in many other in. stances, however, there is still the drawback of inadequate transporting facilities, which restricts shipments to the seaboard
 i Quiet conditions in the iron and steel industry, unaccempanied by any sign of weakness, testify to the healthy tone and suggest a bright outlook for l the coming year.
 An unexpectedly favorable feature has appeared in the market for cotton goods. After long season of stagna- tion in the export division the demand, China suddenly became considera- Ir notwithstanding the depression in ger and liberal stocks of cottons in Shanghai.
 In wooden goods there is a good de mand, ovegcoatings providing the chief feature, but cloak manufa cturers have, also bought freely, especially of light col1red lines. Opening prices at 5 to 10 per cent above last years figures are easily maintained
 Small fluctuations have occurred in the leading agricultural products, with only a moderate volume of speculation, ana many exchanges closed for a dou- ble holiday. Corn has not recovered from the recent severe decline, al- though cash prices were not depressed Ll0portienately owing to the ready ab-
 option of receipts. The car shortage held back much grain that would have coT1e to market otherwise.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The will of Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant has been fled The estate is to be divided into four equal portions.
 It also provides that memento pre- scented to her by the empress of Japan. said to be thousand years old, shall go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
 General Fred D. Grant, son of the testatrix, delivered the testament at Register Dents office in person. Mrs. Grant named as executor "the trustee to be selected by my three sons, ma jority or the survivors of them,
 Tn petition asking the District su- preme court to admit the will to pro- bate General Grant explains that his mother left surviving her as heirs at law and next of kin, in addition to him. self, Ulysses s. Grant, Ellen ". Sar- toris and Jesse R. Grant. The de ceased died possessed of the house at 2111 Massachusetts avenue, this city, of the value of about $4o,oOO, money amounting to S1o,065, stocks, bonds and other securities of the value of $18o,0o0 and household and kitchen furniture of the value of $4,000.
 General Grant further sets forth that under the terms of the will the three sons of the deceased have designated him executor. He therefore asks the court to grant letters testamcntary to him.

 The second portion is left to the ex- ecutor in trust and for the benefit of the family of Ulysses B. Grant under precisely the same conditions and for the same purposes as regards the first portion. The third portion is left un- der similar conditions to Jesse R. Grant and, the fourth for the sole use of Ellen W Sartoris for life and at her death to the latter's children in equal shares.

Great Destruction to Buildings and Shipping.
 COPENHAGEN, Dec. 27.-The worst gale of many years visited Denmark Christmas night and the following age to property and shipping. The teie- graphic and railroad services have been interrupted and delayed. It is un- safe to walk the streets of Copenhagen owing to falling tiles, etc.
 Some streets were closed to traffic to avert this danger. The hospital reports show that several persons were killed and many sustained injuries in the city. The pillars holding up the over head trolley lines were blown down, and the street car service was stepped Many houses have been unroofed, and some mills and factories have been partly destroyed.
 The water in the sound rose suddenly nearly as high as it did in the great flood of 1872. Several ships dragged their anchors and collided or were sunk in the outer harbor. The ferry service between the Danish islands and Swe- den has been forced to stop The gale was accompanied by thunder and light hing. TelegraEas received here from the provinces report enormous damage to property throughout Denmark. Many houses have been unroofed, and some mills and factories have been partly destroyed.
 Two boats have been wrecked off Elsinore, and eight persons were drowned. Eleven men of the crew, in- cluding Captain Tobtasen, were drown ed in the wreck of the Norwegian bark G. s. Penry, which went ashore at Scaw. The Penry will be total wreck, and her cargo is washing ashore. Only one of her crew was saved. There was also severe gale in the south of Swe- dou

 President Roosevelt Declines to Un dertake Task. l WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The yene zuelan controversy will be referred foz adjudication to The Hague tribunal.
 Epitomized, this is the situation as
 it resolved itself as the result of q
 meeting of the cabinet. The meeting
 was not so long as the sessions of the cabinet usually are. All the members
 except Secretary Root were present. The Venezuelan question was the prin- eipal and practically the only topic of
 general concern under consideration. Secretary Hay presented the net re- suits of his cable correspondence with the governments at London, Berlin, Rome and Caracas. Tn accordance with the suggestion made several days ago by President Roosevelt through Secre- tary Hay, President Castro of Venezu- ela was reported to have agreed to sub init the differences between his govern nlent and the European powers to the arbitration of the. tribunal at The Hague The European powers not only consented to submit the controversy to arbitration, but, while they had ex- pressed preference for arbitration to be conducted by President Roosevelt. they had assentcd to his suggestion that the matter be referred to The Hague.
 The presentation of the case nae: fhs hearty approval of the members o3 tss cabinet. No fear is expressed by tba administration that the Monroe doc urine will be brought into rhe contro yersy in any manner that might result in an embarrassing situation for the United States. Secretary Hay .s pre- pairing note to the powers in which the qualification of this government is expressed at the course agreed upon by them in settlement of the pending difIi- culties
 No intimation is given of the condi- tions which may have been imposed by the European powers or by President Castro precedent to the arbitration. It Is known that Great Britain was will Ing to submit the subject to the arbitra- lion of President Roosevelt practically without conditions, but the suggestion Is made that one and perhaps two of the powers involved proposed some conditions which might have proved embarrassing to the president had he undertaken the responsibility of deter mining the question.
 It is understood that some money must pass, but it also is known that fhe amount of cash to be required oE Venezuela before arbitration is not nearly so large as has been supposed. 1t is not possible to learn either Wheth- er the allies insist upon apologies from Castro, and, while it is assumed that the blockade will be speedily raised, nc arrangement to that end has yet been made. The energies of the negotiators are now being devoted to the framing of what will be known as a condition protocol, and it is hoped that, while this class of document does not under take to closely define issues to be pre- sented, it will still contain provision for the removal of the blockade.

Announcements Premature = Some
 Experiments Made.
 . WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Dr. Alex ander Graham Bell, who has just re turned to Washington from his sum- mer home in Cape Breton island. made the following statement in connection with reports that have appeared in the public prints that he has invented flying machine:
 'sThe newspapers have been prema- ture in announcing that have been at work upon flying machine. I haven't any flying machine at all and have not been trying to make one. I am of course interested in the problem and have come to the conclusion that a properly constructed flying machine should be capable of being flown as a kite if anchored to the ground and that conversely properly constructed kite should be capable of use as a flying machine if provided with suitable means of propulsion.
 The experiments have had as their object the building of a kite of solid construction capable of carrying up in a moderate breeze a weight equivalent to that of man and engine and so formed that it could be suitable for use as the body of a flying machine and with supporting surfaces so ar ranged that when the kite is cut loose it will come down gently and steadily and land uninjured. have successful ly accomplished this, but do not care at the present time to make public the details of construction 7
