(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 24.-The President
and Secretary Hay were in conference
for some time this afternoon over the
proposals from Great Britain and Ger
many that the President arbitrate the
issues involved in the Venezuelan claims
controversy They went over the COM
munications very thoroughly, consider
ing the subject from every Viewpoint.
The acceptance of destinations of the pro-
posals by the President is believed to
hlnge on the nature of the restrictions
the allies have imposed on the arbitra-
ton. If any conclusion was reached at
the conference between the President and
his Secretary of State today the fact was
not made public

Moore Co. Ideal Winter Home.

Mere Northern people, in search Of
pleasure and health, spend their winters
in Moore county, North Carolina, than in
any other county in the South. The fol-
lowing letter in the Manufacturers
Record written By Mr. Samuel R. Mac
Lean, Pine Bluff, Moore county, gives
in short something of new Moore
county, ideal winter home. We quote;
Your old New York correspondent
finds himself visiting this section of our
grand Southern country for the first time
in pursuit of health for a friend brought
here, ard is also pleased to find sub
scribers to your enterprising business
round about as J have for years found
through the Northern States and during
my many visits abroad. Therefore, you
may readily assume that my hearty good
wishes for the success of your most use
full of journals has ever accompanied me.
Now, / wish to advise your many read
ers, especially those who have been
overweight in mind and body through
excessive business callings that often
overtaX the nerve, the heart, the lungs
and other vitals, that if they would re-
cuperate they could come here, where
they would learn of permanent cures
through natural local medical, waters and
the pure pine-balm atmosphere of this
singular white-sand region. Pinehurst
and Southern Pines. nearby, have been
celebrated for years. Wall street would
do we'll to take few months off from
activities and send it's members to this
virgin place to prevent them from grow
ing gray and from falling prey to apop-
lexy and such like. Considerable water
power is here, and the old residents are
preparing to undertake various kinds of
manufacturing. A good savings and trust
bank is greatly needed, and is about to
be incorporated. Plans are under way
for street improvements, for a city hall,
and for electric cars and light"

Supt. Joyner to County Superintend-
ents.

The Supt. Public Instruction has issued
two letters to county superintendent
under date Of December o. One letter
calls attention to the fact that blank
applications for aid from the second
hundred thousand dollars" appropriated
by charter 543 of the Laws Of 1901, have
been sent out and urges the Importance
of filling out these blanks and return
ing at once Any delay on the part of
one county superintendent will delay
every other county applying for aid out
of this fund. No part of this fund can
he sent to any county until the appFica-
lions from all counties have been re-
turned to the superintendent Office.
These applications should be filled out
and returned Immediately after the jan
uary apportionment of the county school
fund by the county board of education
at their meeting on the second Monday
in January. Supt. Joyner expects to
apportion this second hundred thousand
dollars and send cut the warrants for it
not later than February l, 1903.
The second letter reads as follows:
81 notice from your report that your
county failed to have a four-months
schol term douring the year ending June
so, 1902, Notwithstanding it received aid
for that purpose out of the second hum
dred thousand dollars. l presume that
this was attributable to your failure to
receive the State warrant before your
schools closed for that year. AS eX-
blamed in a statement from me attached
to every warrant sent to county treas
urers, this money is disable only for the
specific purpose of aiding school dis
tricts mentioned in your formal applica-
items on file in this ofce to have four-
months term. The amount stated in your
application is needed by each district is
disable by that district and no other for
the purpose stated and no other. If it
was received too late to be used by that
district for that purpose last year, 1T
should be used at the beginning of the
school term for the year ending June 80,
1903, to lengthen that term
please let me hear from you at once
stating why these schools in your
county failed to have a four-months term
last year and what has been done with
the money sent for that purpose to each
district applying. Please answer at once,
as it is necessary to have this informa-
ton before the warrants for the second
hundred thusand dollars for this year are
sent
