Parties Interested Consent That thu
Matter be Decided by the Hague
Court of Arbitration.
Blockade Will be Raised and the Allies
!, Will Permit Resumption Of Trade
5..s With Venezuela. ss5

& Washington, Dec. 27--President
Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator
of the Venezuelan controversy The
whole vexatious subject will be re-
ferred for adjudication to The Hague
tribunal.
Eptomized, this was the situation as
it had resolved itself at the conclusion
of the days cabinet meeting The
meeting was. not SO long as the ses.
ssions of the cabinet usually are. All
the members except Secretary Root
We're present The Venezuelan ques-
tion was the principal and practically
the only topic of general concern under
consideration. Secretary Hay present
ed the; net results of his cable cor
srespondence with the governments at
London, Berlin, Rome and Caracas. !.
In accordance with the suggestion
made several days ago by President
Roosevelt, through Secretary Hay,
President Castro was reported to have:
agreed to submit the differences be-
tween his government and the Euro.
pean powers to the arbitration of the
tribunal at The Hague.
The European powers not only con-
sented to submit the controversy to
arbitration, but, while they had ex-
pressed preference for an arbitra-
tion to be conducted by President
Roosevelt, they assented to his sug-
gestion that the matter be referred to
The Hague.
The presentation Of the case met the
hearty approval of the members of the
cabinet. No fear is expressed by the
administration that the Monroe doc
trine has been brought into the contro-
tversy in any manner that might result
in an embarrassing situation
For the United States.
Secretary Hay is preparing a note to
the powers in which the qualification
Of this government is expressed for
the course agreed upon by them in
settlement of the pending difficulties.
No intimation is given of the condi-
tions which may have been imposed
by the European powers or by Presi-
dent Castro precedent to the arbitra-
| ton. 1t is known that Great Britain
was willing to submit the subject to
| the arbitration of President Roosevelt
practically without conditions but the
suggestion is made that one and per-
haps two Of the other powers involved.
proposed some conditions which might
have proved embarrassing to the pres
ident had he undertaken the RESPONSE
bility Of determining the question.
1t is understood that some money
must pass, but it also is known that
the amount Of cash to be required of
Venezuela before arbitration is not
nearly SO large as has been stated
It is not possible to learn. either
whether the allies insist upon apol-
togies from Castro and, while it is as
sumed that the blockade will be speed:
lily raised, no 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
las a condition protocol and it is hoped
that while this class Of document does
not undertake to closely define is
sues to be presented it will still con-
tain provision for the removal Of the
blockade.

SATURDAY, JULY II, 1902.

LET the proposition be twisted and
turned as it may; but Mr.. James II.
Tillman is a shrewd campaigner on the
stump-one of the shrewdest there is IN
the state. At Newberry, last Tuesday,
various candidates disclaimed in virtu-
Gus indignation against the charges
that have been made against them, and
Mr.. Tillman capped the climax by turn
ing to the newspaper reporters and re-
questing that this announcement be
published to the world: IF any editor
has any more charges to make against
me, let him make them to my face!
That sounds like courageous defiance
and is likely to take with any unthink-
ing crowd, Notwithstanding its real alb
surdity. The editor, if there be such,
who has a personal grievance against
Mr.. Tillman, should state his grievance
to Mr.. Tillman's face. Where, however,
the editors grievance is Of public ma
ture, the proper place to lodge such a
grievance Is with the public. No mat
ter how true charge may be, nor how
damaging, or whether Tillman might
like the editor, or the editor Tillman,
unless the public is to have all the
facts such a case can be Of no practi-
cal benefit. Mr.. Tillman will hardly be
able to squelch by this ruse any charges
that might otherwise have been made
against him.

preaching and teaching, has been under
pretty lively discussion since informa-
ton Of the recommendation was pub.
lished last Wednesday, and 1t can hard
ly be said that the idea strikes the bus
mess people generally with favor
Some think the proposition Is all right;
but there is lots Of kicking, and 1t is
quite loud.
One individual was heard to say:
"They can levy the tax if they want to;
but they will never make me pay 1t a
second time. I'll leave town first. y
Another said: 1t seems as if the coun-
Gil can think of nothing but taxes and
more taxes. What does it want with
so much money anyway? Why they'll
break us all up. If I could dispose of
what little stuff have, would quit.
If don't quit pretty quick they will
take all I have for taxes" Another
said: IF they have to have money, why
don't they make the property tax pay
it? I am opposed to a vocation tax

SOME people in the South Carolina
circle in Washington who claim to
have inside information as to affairs in
that state, seem to think that, after al,
Senator McLaurin may not be appoint
ed to the Federal judgeship of the
court of claims. Not because they do
not think the president would appoint
the senator if he desires the honor; but
because they believe that after all the
talk concerning the senator that he
may not care to accept the place. He
may prefer to remain in the senate un-
til the end of the next session OF con-
gress, when his term will expire, and
then to re-enter the practice of his
profession, either in South Carolina
or in Washington. The senator, it Is
stated by his friends, has receiv-
ed many tempting offers, but he has
accepted none of them, and it is said
he may decline the judgeship If offered.
|-Spartanburg Journal.
If Senator McLaurin should be ap-
pointed to the position referred to and
decline it, there are those who would
say that it was because he knew he
could not be confirmed. Whether or
not he has ever really sought the po-
sition we have. no knowledge. We have
had it straight from him in writing that
he would never accept any position that
would take him away from among his
own people in South Carolina. This
was as far back as three years ago
when they were trying to make it ap-
pear that the senator was to become a
member of the Philippine commission.
At the same time, he said there was
absolutely nothing in the story that
was then in circulation to the effect
that he was after Judge Simonton's po'
siton. We believed Senator McLaurin
then and have had no occasion to dis
believe him since; but if, under all the
circumstances, he should accept the
judgeship Of the court Of claims, we
should be compelled to admit that our
faith in the sincerity of his patriotism
was not as we'll founded as we have
thought.
