ROOSEVELTS WENT RIDING
IN A DRIVING RAIN.
They Braved the Weather for the
Outdoor Exercise.

Rapidan, Va, Dec. 21.-In a driving
rain, the President, Mrs. Roosevelt and
four of their children, accompanied
by their host, Joseph Wilmer, went
horseback riding this afternoon. The
party left the Wilmer home shortly
after 8 o'clock and did not return I'M
til o'clock. 1t has rained here hard
and necessarily since late hour last
night.
This morning the President and his
family and Mr.. Wilmer drove to the
picturesque little Episcopal Church in
Rapidan to attend divine service. Not
more than score of worshippers
braved the storm to attend the ser
vice. No reference was made by the
rector, DR.. Cross, to the President. At
the conclusion of the service Mr.. and
Mrs. Roosevelt were greeted cordially
by the rector and the few members of
the parish present, the introductions
being made by Mr.. Wilmer.
Owing to the severe rainstorm the
wild turkey hunt scheduled for to-
morrow morning has been abandoned.
The President and family will leave
Rapidan ate O'Clock TO -norrow MORN
ing and arrive In washington at HIPS

CONTEST FOR SENATOR.
Many Want the Omce Teller Now
Holds.

Holds.
Denver, Col. Dec. Ex-senator Henry
NJ. Teller arrived here from Washing
ton to-day to spend the Christmas hol-
idays and to look after his interests in
the contest for reelection. In addi-
ton to Senator Teller, the announced
candidates are ex-senator Edward O.
Wolcott, Frank c. Cloudy of Denver.
District Judge Walter N. Dixon OF
Pueblo, and Irving Howbert of Col
orado Springs.
Senator Teller claims the entire DEM
ocratic vote on joint ballot, and prob
ably will get it, as no one is opposed
to him in the Democratic party. The
remaining four candidates will divide
the Republican support. Goudy claims
to have pledged about two-thirds of
the Republican members of the Legis-
lature, and this claim is said by well
informed leaders not to be too SAN
guine. A great deal depends on the
outcome of the contests now before the
State Canvassing Board.
Should the DEMOCRATS be seated, the
House will stand: Democrats 80, Re
publicans 33. On the Canvassing Board
are two Populists, elected through flu
sion with the Democrats. Failure to
accept propositions for fusion at the
recent election held out by Populists
has placed. the Democrats in an atti-
tude of unfriendly relationship With
the Populist party and 1t is feared they
will seek revenge through their repre-
sentatives on the Canvassing Board.
The illness of Representative-elect
Jones, a Republican, at Hot Springs,
Ark. also complicaes matters. Should
he be compelled to remain away and
the Democrats be seated, the vote in
the House would be a lie.

Port of Spain. Trinidad, Dec. 21-
rhe blockade of Venezuelan ports was
begun with an effective force at mid
night last night. The British have the
cruisers defatigable Alert and Tri-
torpedo-boat destroyer Rocket along
the coast The cruiser Ariadne, the
flagship of Vice Admiral Douglas, will
remain here All the British opera
tons will be directed from Trinidad.
The cruiser Vipeta, the German flag
ship. left here this morning for La
Guayra to reinforce the German cruis-
ers Gazelle, Panther and Fake and
the training ship Stosch. The Char
lotte, another training ship, has left
here for st. Lucia, her presence on the
blockade apparently being unneces-
sary.
1t is reported here that Mr.. Haggard,
British minister to Venezuela, has said
that Great Britain acted only after
great provocation and that the whole
world must approve of what she did.
The climax to AngloVenezuelan rela-
tons was reached when a Venezuelan
glInboat captured a British merchant
man ora the high seas. shipped her
crew and Valuables and landed them
at Margarita Island. Then Great
Britain determined to act. Mr.. Hag-
gard and the German representative,
Herr Won Pilgrim Baltazzi are said to
have left Caracas secretly in fear that
they might be held as hostages by
President Castro.
The United States battleships Kear-
sarge and Ala bama arrived here this
afternoon. Their appearance provoked
considerable comment on shore, but
when Admiral Higginson called upon
the acting governor of Trinidad and
the connnandant of the British ships.
he took occasion to explain that the
visit to this port of the American mem
of-War was part of the usual winter
trip of the squadron.
As the American vessels entered the
harbor. the Charlotte saluted Admiral
Hgginson's flag, a courtesy which was
also extended by the British ships. The
salutes Were returned The Kearsar2e
ard Ala bana are anchored outside
the British ships, which are guarding
four Venezuelan vessels, none of which
flies either the British or Venezuelan
flag. The Restaurador. which was
captured from Venezuela by the Ger
mans, flies the German flag and is
used by them for dispatch purposes.
Gen. Ferreras, who represents the
Venezuelan revolutionists at Ciudad
Bolivar. has collected $350,O00 in duties
since the Venezuelan blockade of the
Orinoeo was raised. OF this sum $75.-
con was used to repay money borrowed
from merchants Gen. Ferreras has
sent a large order for munitions of
war to Port of Spain.

BLIZZARD WAS SERIOUS.
RAILROADS Had Great struggles win
the snow.

Denver Col, Dec. 21.--The blizzard
that ragged on Friday and Saturday in
Eastern Colorado and Wyoming and
Western Kansas and Nebraska was
the most serious in years to the. rail-
roads, so far as the interruption or
traffic is concerned. All trains on the
Union Pacific and Burlington roads
We're delayed at least twenty-four
hours, and some trains even more than
that. This is true of trains over the
Kansas City branch of the Union Pa
cific,
Along the line snowdrifts from six
to ten feet deep made the movement
of trains impossible until the tracks
could be cleared. The Denver and Al
lance branch OF the Burlington runs
to the Black Hills, and trains which
left Denver on Friday were released
from their positions in the drift to-
day. One train, which was completely
hidden from sight by the snow, was
relieved by snow plows from Alliance,
Neb. A supply train was run from
Mercer Neb., with fuel and provls-
ions for the imprisoned passengers. 1t
required desperate work to reach the
stalled train through the binding
storm and drifts.
The. attention of the railroads to-
day has been directed to getting the
trains going on schedule time again,
and by tomorrow 1t is expected usual
conditions on the Burlington and
Union Pacific will prevail.

VIEWS OF THE PRESS.
London Papers on the Venezuelan
Situation.

London, Dec. 22.-Provided the
guarantee question can be satisfac-
torily solved, the London newspapers
agree his morning in desiring President
Roosevelt to accept the office of arbi-
traitor. They fear that if the matter Is
referred to The Hague, Venezuela will
probably ignore the award.
at the same tine the Presidents re-
luctance to accept the Office is perfect
ly understood and his motives are re-
spected. 1t is recognized that he would
have a very difficult task because, it
is said, among other things there would
be something like a scramble of the
different nations having claims against
Venezuela to be heard. The hope is
generally expressed that a pacific set
Element will be reached, thus avoiding
the necessity of sending to Venezuelan
waters the large fleet which could
alone render the blockade really effec-
tive
Great resentment is voiced in the
press this morning at the report from
Port of Spain, Trinidad, that the crew
of the British steamer ToDaze were
dragged ashore at Puerto CabelIo at
midnight half clothed, prodded with
bayonets by Venezuelan soldiers
roughly handled by the mob and all
imprisoned in one filthy room.

ACROSS The OCEAN
MARCONI AT LAST FLASHES
a WIRELESS MESSAGE.
CAPE BRETON TO CORNWALL.
INAUGURATORY MESSAGES WENT
70 EDWARD AND HUMBERT.

nOunces the News of His Success.
The Cables Confirm His Statement,
Announcing the Receipt of the
Messages in EnEland-MarcOni
Says That His Success is Com
plete-Message From Governor
General of Canada.
Halifax, n. S., Dec. 21.-After eight
experiments, conducted with greatest
secrecy, Marconi announces that he
has solved the problem of wireless
trans-oceanic communication and has
successfully transmitted wireless mes
sages from the shores of Canada to
the coast of England.
The formal announcement of this
achievement was made by the inventor
himself to-day, when he stated that
the wireless messages had been sue
cessfully transmitted and forwarded
from the Governor General of Canada
to King Edward VII of Great Britain
and to King Emmanuel of Italy.
DR.. George R. Parkin, principal of
the Upper Canada College, trustee of
Rhodes scholarships, was present
when one of the successful tests was
made.
Prior to December, 1901, the great
est distance covered by wireless teleg-
raphy scarcely exceeded 100 miles.
Early in that year Marconi visited
New Foundland and from Signal Hill,
commenced experimenting with Corn
wall, and on Dec. II and 10 of that
year, faint signals of the letter IS"
repeated several times. were caught by
ear only with the aid of telephones.
Later on Marconi, on board of the
steamship Philadelphia, bound for
America, succeeded in establishing
communication with Cornwall a dis
lance of 2,100 miles. Trans-oceanic
message were also received on board
the Italian warship Carlo Alberto while
the vessel lay at anchor in Sydney
harbor on Oct. 81, and since then Mar
conf has been perfecting the apparatus
at Table Head. He met with innun-
cradle difficulties there, but at last has
succeeded in sending a trans-oceanic
wireless message from Canada to
Cornwall; a distance of 1900 miles,
The Carlo Alberto was some days ago
ordered to proceed to Venezuela, but
as her immediate departure would Sc
riously retard Marconi's i, operations,
the order was modified, and she was
held at Sydney until transatlantic
communication was successfully ac-
complished. She has sailed for Vene-
zuela to take part in the blockade
opera ions.
The following message was sent by
Marconi this evening:
"Glace Bay, c. B., Dec. 81. Hon.
w. S. Fielding, Minister of Finance.
Ottawa, Ont. Regret you were I'M
able to visit station here. Governor
General sent me message for his
majesty, King Edward, which l have

MAKING UNITED STATES
IND0RSE THE DEBTS.
England Seems to Think This Will
Follow ROOseveIts Arbitration.


London, Dec. 21.-It is believed that
President ROosevelt's answer to the
proposal made by the allied Powers
that he arbitrate the Venezuelan is
sues, has been received in London.
The strictest secrecy with regard to
every phase of the negotiations is
preserved, however, but such indica-
tions as are obtainable point to Pres
ident Roosevelt's acceptance of the Of
flee of arbitrator.
A constant interchange of cable
grams is proceeding night and day be-
tween the United States embassy here
and the State Department at Wash
ington. 1t is believed that the Pres
ident's answer will be submitted for
mally to the Foreign Office to-mor-
row. By Wednesday, unless some I'M
expected complications arise, it is be-
lieved the negotiations will reach a
state assuring a definite ARRANGEMENT
and obviating hostilities.
1t must be said that the acceptance
of the office of arbitrator by Presi-
dent Roosevelt would greatly surprise
the Foreign Office, which always has
been doubtful of the issue of the ar
bitration negotiations on account OF
the belief that President Roosevelt
or the United States We're not willing
to undertake the responsibility thereby
involved.
Judging from private American ad-
vices which have been received in
London, President Roosevelt, as arbi-
traitor, would be favorably disposed to-
ward the temporary adoption of some
such method as was arranged with the
Venezuelan secret mission and COM
municated to the State Department by
Isaac Seligman. With President Roose-
Welt acting as arbitrator the serious
objections in the matter of guarantees,
which have been mentioned frequently
at the Foreign Office and in these dis
patches, would disappear The Foreign
Office has said repeatedly that the great
difficulty in its seeing a way to agree
to pacific settlement of the Venezue-
Ian trouble was its inability to ascer-
tain to what extent the United States
was willing to assume responsibility.
In spite of the fact that Sunday Is
usually sacred to leisure in London's
diplomatic circle. to-day has been
marked by activity at all the embas-
sizes, and especially the American,
where work was in progress all last
night. The promptness with which
Washington deals with those vital mat
tiers concerning which prolix pour par
lers have been interchanged in En-
rope astonishes diplomats here.

BILE wedding.

Beaufort, S. c., Dec. 21.-There was
a double negro wedding at Ebenezer
Church on st. Helena Island last
night, which was attended by a num-
