ASKED TO ARBITRATE.

A Joint note from Great Britain and
Germany inviting President Roosevelt
to act as arbitrator of the Venezuelan
dispute was handed yesterday to the
United States Ambassadors in London
and Berlin. 1t was Emperor William
personal suggestion that the President
serve in this capacity.
An indirect inquiry to Washington
having elected a refusal from Mr..
Roosevelt, a request has now been made
in direct form. The President, accord
ing to a Washington dispatch, has not
get acted on the final proposal of the
powers.
The United States is considered in any
event as emerging from the crisis with
credit, having obtained an acknowledge
ment of the Monroe doctrine by two OF
the greatest powers in Europe.
1t was officially announced at Trini-
dad that formal declaration of war
would be issued to legalize the blockade
of the Venezuelan coast.
The proposition made by Great Britain
and Germany that President Roosevelt
arbitrate their differences with Vene-
zuela does not meet with the approval OF
members of Congress, especially not OF
the democrats. Objection is expressed
on the ground that the United States
being an interested party to the con-
troversy cannot justly act as judge in
the case. This view is taken by Rep
resentative James d. Richardson, OF
Tennessee, the democratic floor leader of
the House and also by many of the lead
ing newspapers, both democratic and
republican, in the country.

Grown PRINCESS Runs AwAY.-Ihe
ROYALTY and aristocracy of Germany and
Austria, indeed of all Europe, are amazed
to learn that the Crown Princess of
Saxony deserted her husband and family
on the night of December IL, renowned
her prospective right to share the throne
with her husband, and fed to an UNI
known destination. This much is oflici-
ally admitted, but many stories are cur
rent respecting the circumstances of the
flight. The Crown Princess was staying
at Salzburg, her husband being in
Dresden.
The Princess was apparently accom-
panied in her flight by one of her broth
ers, who, it is stated, are championing
her action. 1t is believed that she is
now in Switzerland or Paris. One story
mentions the Princess in connection
with an illicit love affair, in consequence
of which, it is said, a certain high official
was recently banished from the court;
another story ascribes the flight to NOR
bid mental excitement that is attribute
BILE to pregnancy, and another that her
fight was caused by domestic discord
growing out of her husbands relations
with an actress of the Dresden Court
Theater. The marital relations of the
Crown Prince and his wife have long
been the subject of unpleasant gossip.
1t is alleged that they were constantly
quarrelling. A tragic termination Of the
union has been often predicted.

Disappearance of Princess Louise.

Geneva, Dec. 23.-The Crown Prin

disappeared from Salisbury December l,

NJ. CORN, professor of French. The
Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany, father OF
the missing Crown Princess of Saxony,
when he heard that his daughter had
been located in Geneva recently sent an
aide dc camp to bring her back. The
fugitive, however, had disappeared when
the messenger arrived, and her where
abouts have again become matter OF
mystery. Army detectives are now do
ing their utmost to trace the fugitive.
The Morgen Zeitung today declares that
the Crown Princess is insane. 1t isprob-
able her relatives will adopt this expla-
nation if she is captured, and will
imprison her in an asylum for life.
The Crown Princess has longed shock
ed the members of the Saxon court by
her utter disregard of what they con-
sidered the proper court etiquette Some
years ago shearranged with an American
dentist to teach her to ride bicycle and
on a number of occasions went riding
with him in costumes which were ex-
tremely Chic. The Crown Princess
reputed dentist lover is from Philadel-
phia.
Another account of the princess flight
says her leaving the palace was not vol
untary, but that her husband had elected
her after discovering her liasons, first
with an American dentist, and then with
the French tutor. The princess enemies
allege that the dentist is the father OF
her sixth child, but that the tutor fled
with her. Four others, the account says,

A BILL has been introduced in Con-
gress by Representative Hill, a repub-
lican, of Connecticut, which provides
for drawback of duty on all coal i'm
ported at Atlantic ports after June 80,
1908. The effect of this would be to
enable the importer to charge the full
price of the coal, duty and all, to the
consumer and afterward pocket the en-
tire drawback paid by the Treasury.
But why not Immediately and uncondi-
tionally repeal the coal duties? This
would be a boon to the vast majority of
people of this country and would make
impossible the inconvenience to say
nothing of the expense and suffering TO
which thousands have been subjected
since the coal strike.
