over the veto, or 80 votes in the sen

seen that the measure received consid-

The discussion in the house was
very BRIEF Mr. Hail. of BibD, and sev

against the measure when the motion
was made that the governors veto be
not sustained. Several members aIso
made brief arguments for and against
the measure in explanation Of their.
votes When the roll was being called.
The sentiment Of the house ON the
subject, however, was too apparent.
Several of those who opposed the
measure said they would make few

The American Girls Charm.

In an article on american Women
and American Men" in the December
Smart Set. the V!comte de SantO
ThyrsO writes:
What makes the American girl a
most attractive being Is her self.con-
tidence, amiability and good temper.
ITO tell the truth | have never met
an American girl of twenty who did
not consider herself fascinating; this
IL self-confidence; and for a woman to
believe she is beautiful is halfway to
reveal beauty. In the first place, a
plain woman, who Is aware of her
~p!ainness IL unhappy. Man Is a sell
fish animal, and, despite what novels
say about sad women and the power
Of tears, unhappiness is as repellant
to a healthy mind as disease to a
healthy body. Then, the conscious
plain woman gives up every thought
OF pleasing, and, therefore she does
nothing to make herself attractive.
She does not dress in a becoming
way, she does not smile, she does not
try to be attractive. She becomes

THE EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.
Completely Strips Bark From Tree
No Trace of Fire.

That much valuable knowledge as
to the effects Of lightning may be
gained by a study of trees that have
been struck by it is maintained by
many English scientists. A tree
which stood for many years on the
side of a road a few miles from Wa
lingford, in England, was struck by
lightning during a violent storm 6
short time ago and utterly destroyed
Mr.. Percy f. Spielmann examined 1t .
few hours afterward and found that
the bark had been completely strip
ped off and flung to II side, and
that a large branch had also beer
torn away and %splintered. He looked
for some token Of fire but was unable
to find any. He noticed, however
that the inner surface of the bari
was marked longitudinally with thir
wavy lines, very close set, of which
the crests were about a quarter Of ar
inch apart. He took several photo
graphs of the ruined tree and he re
CARDS them as most useful, since they
show clearly the rending effect Of
lightning on a Abrous tissue.

Some Clever Bon Mots,

OF the bon mots of the Greeks not
many very brilliant ones have come
down to us, says the Saturday Even
ing Post. A happy saying.o of Socrates
is reported regarding sculpture and
education: II wonder that men should
give 80 much to turn a stone. into q
man, and so little to prevent a man
turning into a stone" What could be
more pertinent or pithy than the re-
joinder OF Lysander to a citizen OF
Megara, who. at a common council OF
Greek states, was talking big and
laying down a policy with an authori-
tative air: Your words want a city"
The cynical tub-philosopher. Dioge-
mes, gave utterance to some rasplng
sarcasms. Seeing a number OF per-
sons firing at a mark. he placed him.
self directly before it. saying that It
was the safest place. Going by a house
over the door Of which was inscribed.
Let nothing evil enter here!" he
asked, How then can the owner get
in?"

WARSHIPS SENT
United States Takes Precaution.
AIRY Step
AS AID TO CONSUL BOWEN
Measure Taken to GunrJ AGAINST An
Interruption OF the Cable Connect
ing Mlnister Bowen with nj.
Home Government

The following cablcgram was sent
wednesday by the navy department to
Admiral Dewey. in command of the
combined fleets. addressed to san
Juan:
Send competent officer speedily In
torpedo boat destroyer or other vessel
TO caracas as assistant to American
minister"
The following cablegram was sent to
Commander Diehl. of the Marietta. now
lying AT La Guaira:
send Van Duscn, executive officer of
the Marietta, as assistant to the Amer
lean minister temporarily"
The officer from Dewey's feet will
relieve Lieutenant Commander Van
Dusen, who is only an hour distant
from Caracas. when he arrives upon
h scene. While no explanation Is
given for the above orders, II IL be-
lieved that these measures are being
taken to guard against an interruption
on h cable connecting Mr.. Bowen
with his home government.
Secretary Hay has cabled To Ambas-
sadOr Tower at Berlin, to ask the Ger
man government to define for this
country exactly what Is meant by a
peaceful blockade The dispatch is

but IT was insistcnt that Germany
should reply. This inquiry was decided
upon at the cabinet meeting. where 1t
was discussed fully.
Although II has not yet been put
into public expression. this govern
ment contends that there is no such
thing ms a peaceful blockade II n
state OF war does 10 exist this gov
eminent will contend at the proper
time that United States ships must be
allowed TO pass
The test will come when tho Red
Line steamer Caracas arrives at La
Guayra probably next. Saturday. IL
that ship goes through, as II Is cx-
pected IL will. other ships for other ma
tons will also demand to &c through
and the peaceful blockade will be-
come a farce.
IL Germany insists on It's right to
blockade peaceably and refuses to let
American ships through, then Admiral
Dewey's fleet will be sent to Venezuela
to convoy the American ships through
the German and English lines.
Admiral Dewey has been told to keep
his fleet together. The reason this
government makes this demand OF
Germany is because IL has in writing.
in black and white, the fullest state
ment of Germany's intentions in Ven
ezuela. 1t has no such statement from
England. The diplomats OF that coun-
try were shrewd enough to make only
a verbal statements OF intent.
The administration is waiting Ger
many's answer with some anxiety. The
situation Is now more critical than II
has been since the trouble began.
The Spanish minister to Venezuela,
Senior Gaytan de Ayala, and the Bel
gian charge ~d'affaires, M. Van Der
Hyde. have presented a Joint letter to
the Venezuelan minister OF foreign al
fairs, in which they ask In case the
claims Of other foreign powers are paid
by Venezuela that the same treatment
given these powers be accorded TO
Spain and Belgium.
Rumors are current in Brussels n
Copenhagen that Holland and Den
mark are about to present their claims
to Venezuela for a settlement.

ANXIOUS FOR PEACE



Thursday morning adyiccs say that
I has been decided that the Veno2uc-
Ian difficulty shalt be arbitrated. and
the discussion of terms Of settlement ia
now going en-.
United States Minister Bowen UNI
doubleday will be one of the arbitra-
tors.
The government fears that cuercivo
measures will follow the establishment
OF the blockade, which became effective
today.
The awakening of the Venezuelan
people TO the present situation of their
country is accompanied by feelings OF
bitterness and sorrow. Their fleet has
been destroyed and their pride has
been deeply wounded. but they are re-
signed to accept the afrront which they
consider has been offered them by tho
allies.
During the last ten days President
Castro has acted with extraordinary
energy. He has transformed the entire
country into n vast camp. having raised
more than fort ythousand men, whom
he has we'll armed. equipped and trans
ported from every direction to la
Guayra md Puerto Cabello. in the ex-
pectation that the allies would attempt
to land ut or both of these points.
But there has been n change OF feel
Ing. and the prominent men OF Vene-
z,iela who were AT one time ready to
lead the people in the defense of their
country now consider that justification
to take the men of the republic away
fro mtheir families and their work
does not exist. They have resolved
to discover q means to bring about
arbitration. " at least treat with tho
allies.
The means sought IL thought to lie
through the United States legation. and
satisfactory results are on every hand
expected to follow.

correspondent of the Associated Press:
