they will, with surroundings which will

While the hotel will still be conducted

to-day decided to make such improve

has been used since the erection Of the

In addition, the hotel is to be fitted up
with an up-to date grillroom, modelled
along metropolitan lines, in which the male
patrons OF the hotel will be afforded every
opportunity to dine la carte along thor
oughly modern standards.
| The grillroonn, in which the service will
closely approximate that Of the Audito-
RUM Annex in Chicago, will occupy the
space now utilized by the Dutch" rooms
in the rear of the hotel buffet.
A portion Of the partitions of the buffet
will be torn out SO as to give an outside

permitted.
Addison G. Bronson, manager Of the
hotel explained this afternoon that the
changes had been agreed upon only after
careful canvass of the situation had APP
parently revealed the fact that growing
demand existed In Minneapolis for Just

II the resulting patronage was great
enough to justify any such move, the
management would carry out the present
improvements on a much larger scale than
now contemplated.

will appeal especially to prospective pat

complained that Minneapolis has been

of 100000.

Milwaukee, Dec. 31.-The entire plant
Of the Charles Abresch4 company, carriage
manufacturers of 592-3SS Fourth street,
was destroyed by fire at an early hour to-
day, entailings loss Of upwards Of
500, 000 s.
The fire was first seen In. the repair
shop in the rear Of the main building and
spread so rapidly that the fremen were
unable to save single carriage frU4n tho
main building, and 1t is on these goods
that the loss will probably be the heaviest.
The building and contents were partly.
insured. The Abresch plant was partly
destroyed less than two years ago.
After the fire was under conrtol and the
hremen were directing streams on the
smouldering ruins, the south wall of the
main building fell, injuring seven firemen.,
The injured were taken to the emergency
hospital.

ton, President Castro being willing to
submit his case to the arbitration Of fair
and impartial authorities. The details of
the answer will not be published here in
advance of its receipt by the European

held entirely from publication on the
ground that it really belongs to those
powers. .,. -s j. -
To-day the answer is being prepared at

edly will require careful consideration by
the foreign offices at London, Berlin and
Rome, it is not expected that any further
steps toward a final settlement can be
taken for day or two The feeling here,
however, based on a knowledge Of Cas-
tro's position, is that his answer prac-
tically clears the way for the submission
Of the case to arbitration. The answer
has given great satisfaction here.

ferences have been held between Senator
Hoar and Attorney General Knox regard
ing the language Of the bill, and the
president has also been conferred with.
1t seems altogether likely that the bill is
to cover the views of both the president
and Mr.! Knox and to be known as an ad-
mlnistration measure. The republicans in
the senate are preparing to give Senator
Hoar's bill respectful hearing, and If the
republican organization can. be got to-
gether in support Of any antitrust
measure at this time. it will support the
Hoar bill.
r It: is strategic move to have Mr..
England has been and is opposed to anti
trust legislation Of any radical character
owing to the dominant influence Of New
York sentiment there. To have an adj
1ninistration bill introduced and cham
pioned by the senator who is at once the
leading figure Of the New England dele
cation and of the United States senate
and the chairman of the judiciary com :
mittee, to which the bill will be referred,
means much for its smooth progress
through the committee and later through
the senate.
The Hoar bill will be an independent
measure, but nobody has yet been in
formed of lines it will follow. NECESSARY
ly any bill which might be introduced
would be amendatory of and supplemental
to the existing Sherman law and the in
terstate commerce act even IL standing
on its face as an independent measure.
It is believed that the senate will agree
to sstra1ghten one or both of these laws,
and if the ;Hoar bill is not too radical,
and it can hardly be coming from so con-
sentative quarter, it will stand good
chance of getting through. It is now
believed that attempts at antitrust legis-
lation at this session will be concen-
trated on the IIoar bill, which will give
that measure an Importance It would not
otherwise have. Senators who are In the
city for the holidays express the opinion
that the Hoar bill can probably be passed
through the upper house, which means
antitrust legislation at this session, for
the house, under it's strict. rules can be
made to. pass the bill at any time. It is
by everybody thought. to be fortunate that
the .bill is to appear in the senate first,
for that body for years has been the
stumbling. block in the way Of legisla ton
OF any character.

account than formerly for their personal
and official conduct. Numerous instances
of this disposition have come up within
the past year.
The state department. however, does
not feel justified in proceeding too harsh
ly. It removed a consul several months
ago on a. prima facie showing and was
compelled later to reinstate him, on orders
from the White House.
It Is not likely, therefore, that Mr..
Goodnow will be suspended pending the
investigation, unless the situation should
become more serious than 1t now is. but
the charges will probably be carefully
probed. The case may eventually reach
a stage where the Minnesota delegation
in congress will get into it,,
Should the report of Mr.. Conger beTa
verse to Goodnow, there would probably
be a disposition on the part Of Mr.. Good
now's friends in Minnesota TO do every
thing possible to protect him and to as
certain whether Mr. Conger's admitted
prejudice had governed him to any ex-
tent in his report. !, / :. q 4 sz.,..5s 81.

VENEZUELA'S TROUBLES
1t Is Said They Are Largely Due to
"PresidentomanIa."
New York Sun Special Service


New York Sun Special Service. ..
New York, Dec. 31.-There lives in New
York the man who effected the settlement
Of the acute Venezuelan difficulty of De-
cember, 1895, which occasioned President
Cleveand'S noted message to England to
keep hands off Venezuelan territory. He is
Julius D. Ichenhauser, known to his
friends as a placid and affable exemplar
of epicurean tranquility, and incidentally,
as a dealer in the fine arts.
Mr.. Ichenhauser had long been inter-
ested in arbitration and his presence in
Washington in December, 1895, was op-
perfume for the furtherance of the cause
he had at heart and the wishes Of Amer
leans, Englshmen and Venezuelans. He
made a hurried trip to England, had an
interview with Mr.. Chamberlain, returned
to America and after several interviews
with Minister Andrade of Venezuela, went
back to England in May and there re-
ceived an important letter from Mr.. And
rade which aroused great public interest
when published in the British press, H.
Mr.. lcheEhauser has met many Venez-
uelans and he likes them, but he has
many decided views regarding the present
situation. Born III Germany, becoming an
ador<e5 Briton and having been for a
dccaLe a resident OF the United States
while remaining F.. British subject he
takes cosmopolitan view of the tri part
ite embroglio on the South American con-
tinent But he is totally unable to see
in the action Of the British and German
fleets a peaceful blockade,
There is no such thing as peaceful
blockade when the commerce Of neutrals
Is interferred with.
Germany does not want South Ameri-
can territory and she knows well that any
attempt in that direction would be re-
sisted by the United States to the fullest
degree, so that it would be impossible
But she does want to extend her influence
and mercantile interests.
Zone of Venezuela's chief troubles is
what should like to call 'presidentoma-
MIA Too many persons want to become
president there; there must be something
in it,
Speaking Of the feeling in England
toward Germany, Mr.. Ichenhauser said
that it was merely a case of the German
DOGGY succeeding the Russian DOGGY
which had affrighted Englishmen Of
former years.

FUMES SETTLE ON A TOWN
People in Pottsville, Pa, Almost
r. Asphyxiated by Leaking
Naphtha Gas.

New York, Dec. 31.-The leaking Of a
naptha pipe at the gas plant with an
accompanying heavy atmosphere, came
near sitting hundreds Of people in Potts
vile, Pa, says Herald dispatch from
that place The accident occurred just
before dawn and the air was so strongly
impregnated with gas that more than
1000 families were placed in condition
bordering upon asphyxiation. The fumes
spread until they invaded every house in
the town. People awoke choking and
gasping for breath. Hundreds were
scarcely able to breathe and lay in kind
of inertia, without being aware of the
source of trouble. This condition of af-
fairs lasted the greater part of the day
and created the widest CONSERVATION.
Z OF the 10000 inhabitants there was
scarcely a single person who was not
more or less seriously affected.

Minister Concha retired from the field and
returned to his country. -. r. .. p
The treaty is practically completed and
is ready to sign. It was confidently ex-
pected that it would be signed before the
first of the new year, but for some reason
or another the authorities at Bogota have
forbidden Mr.. Herran, or at+least will not
authorize him, to conclude the negotia-
lions, and he has gone to New Jersey,
where Nelson Cromwell, the attorney Of
the French canal company, is now lying
i'll. 1t is supposed that he is seeking
CromwelPs advice because his government
is not treating him fairly. He was in
structed to- make the treaty, but he is not
instructed to sign it, and if he signs it
without positive instructions he would not
dare ret i'm to his home. - Is. .-.~.5 :
It Is conjectured that some change in
the personnel of the politics Of the gov
eminent at Bogota has recently taken
place, or perhaps Minister, COncha, who
has returned to Bogota by this time, has
persuaded the officials there. against con-
Guiding the negotiations. Private adj
vices report that General Aristides Fern
andez, the present minister of war, who
will probably be the next president of the
republic, is opposed to the terms of the
treaty as it stands at present, and there
fore the government hesitates. DR.. Felix
Paul, the minister Of foreign relations, is
supposed TO pc AFRAID to- offend him by
instructing sHerran to sign it, This, how
ever, is merely conjecture.
The president is not inclined to tenn
por1Ze with Colombia much longer and the
members Of the senate and house of rep
resentative who have taken the most In
terest in canal legislation are Of
the opinion that the negotiations
with Colombia had J. better be ter:
minated and work begun on the
Nicaragua route. AS soon as congress re-
assemblies Mr.. Morgan in the senate and
Mr.. Hepburn in the house will introduce
resolutions intstructing the president not
to bother with Colombia any longer, but
to close with Nicaragua. and Costa Rica;
and commence constructions. Such ac-
ton will probably bring Colombia to
terms. !
