Joint stock shares Taxable.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE court of
appeals has handed down an opinion
holding that the shares of stock which
George Jones, part owner of the New
York Times, held in the Joint stock as
sociation which published that paper
are taxable under the inheritance tax
law as personal property. This case
has been pending in the courts for sew
eral years and has attracted much at
tention among lawyers, because the
question of the taXability of shares in
II joint stock association as personal
property has never been decided in this
country and because if they We're held
so taxable the same principle would
cover the shares of stock in all the big
express companies and other joint stock
enterprises.

Many Coal Mines Flooded.

TAMAQUA, Pa, Dec. 17.-Nearly all
the mines in this section are flooded
as the result Of the heavy rainstorm
which has prevailed in this section.
AS result it is expected that the ship

from Shamokin says that the rain
storm and the melting snow have COW
cred the upper levels of number of

NO SIGNS OF SETTLEMENT.
England Does Not Consider Fnvors-
bly, Arbitration Proposal.

LONDON. Dec. 17.-.Iudging from
statements given out by the foreign
office, the Venezuelan situation does
not appear to be any nearer settle
ment. No suggestion has yet been
made that Great Britain could even
tually see its way to submitting its
claims to arbitration. and the foreign
Office points out that VeneZuclas offer
TO arbitrate is extremely vague Pres
ident Castro in the communication in
which he expresses his willingness to
resort to arbitration provides no guar
anteo that the rights of British SUBJ
jects in Venezuela will be respected
pending the award The foreign office
claims that some matters are impossi-
bic to arbitrate, instancing the disre-
spectful treatment of Mr.. Haggard,
British minister to Venezuela, and all
his representations.
The willingness of Venezuela to arbi-
trate the financial claims, however.
Will meet with no opposition in official
circles in London nor is there any de-
sire to stir up opposition here by con-
tinuing unnecessarily the present
armed compact with Germany; but,
quoting from the foreign Office, "at
the same time there is not the slightest
inclination to let Venezuela go unpun-
lshed for her repeated insults and in
juries. The offer to arbitrate comes
very late in the day. We are not seek
ing quarrel, but we must insure our
selves against a recurrence of thp acts
which led to the present situation"
With the guarantee of the United
States, the foreign Office says, arbitra-
ton in the Venezuelan matter would
be an immediate probability, but with
only the word of Il government hither-
to unreliable arbitration is difficult of
accepting even upon the points where
international relations admit of such
method OF settlement.

The Venezuelan question occupied
the attention of the senate in executive
session for almost an hour. The ques-
tion came UP informally almost imme-
diatoly after the public was excluded.
Senator Teller disclaiming all intention
Of being critical and saying he merely
desired information, asked Senator Cul-
lom, chairman of the committee on for
cign relations, what information he
possessed as to the Venezuelan affair.
Mr.. Teller in inquiring said that the sit
uatiOn is such that senators felt that
the Monroe doctrine at any time might
become involved if the complication
should continue.
Senator Cullom replied to the inquiry
that he had no knowledge of recent
events not contained i'm the public
prints. Messrs. Bacon. Hoar, Lodge and
Stewart all made remarks. In none of
the addresses was anything harsh or
critical said. The tone of all the speech
es, whether .by Republicans or Demo
Gratis, was that our position as Il nation
should be one of watchfulness. There
was general agreement that while the
means adopted by Great Britain and
Germany for the collection of their
debts had been quite strenuous they
thus far had committed no infringe
ment of the Monroe doctrine and there
fore had done nothing to which the
United States could take exception.
