LONDON, Dec. 21.--It is believed that
President Roosevelts answer to the pro-

arbitrate the Venezuelan issues has been
received in London. The strictest secrecy
with regard to every phase Of the nesotis-
tions Is preserved. however, and II is i'm
possible to make a DEFINITE statement. but
such indications as are obtainable point to
President Roosevelt's acceptance.
A constant interchange OF cables is pro-
ceeding night and day between the United
States embassy here and the State depart
ment at Washington, II is believed that
the presidents answer will be submitted
formally to the Foreign ONCE tomorrow. BY
Wednesday, unless some unexpected COM
plications arise. the negotiations should
have reached a stage approaching a settle-
ment. At the same time 1t must be ad-
mittod that II the president accepts 1t would
greatly surprise the Foreign ofice which
has always been doubtful OF the issue Of
arbitration on account OF the belief that
President Roosevelt, or the United States.
was not willing to undertake the RESPONSE
bility thereby involved
Judging from private kilograms received
in London. President Roosevelt as aTbi-
traitor would be favorably disposed toward
the temporary adoption of some such
method as was arranged with the Venez-
uelan secret mission and communicated to
the State department by Isaac Seligman.
With President Roosevelt as arbitrator the
serious objections in the matter of guar
antees which frequently have been mem
tion at the Foreign once would disap-
pear.
In spite of the fact that Sunday is usually
sacred TO leisure in London's diplomatic
circle, today has been marked by activity
at all the embassies. especially the Amer
lean. where work was in progress all last
night.
The promptness with which Washington
deals with vital matters concerning which
prolix pourparlers have been interchanged
in Europe astonishes diplomats here and
forms an interesting phase of an epgrossing
situation.

SOME SUFFRAGE PHASES.

The Board of Registrars of Lam
caster county are nearly through
their work. The numbers on the
rolls have not come up to the expec-
tations and desires of those who
usually take an active interest in
politics. The county has had about
an equal number of whites and blacks
voting heretofore. A fair estimate.
based on the registration to-day, is
that 60 per cent. of the whites and
20 per cent. of the colored voters
will be enrolled.
One of the surprises of the new
Constitution o. Virginia may be the
Acknowledgement of a majority of
the ministers in the Methodist Con-
ference. Under the new instrument
no one can register who has not lived
at the place where he offers for regis
tration at least twelve months pre-
ceding.
Acknowledgement Anderson has
rendered an opinion which says the
veterans in soldiers homes are prac.
tlcally disfranchised by the new
Constitution. A Henrlco County
Board of Registrars refused to abide
the Attorney-General's decision.
