MANY SHEEP PERISH.
Fire at the Union Stock Yards
in South Omaha.

Omaha, Dec. 26-The big sheep barns ut
the Union stock yards in South Omaha
were totally destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon. 1t is estimated that the loss
will be little more than $4,000, fully COW
cred by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have started from
a cigar stub dropped in the barn by one of
the workmen. The structures were Of
dry wood and a high wind was blowing at
the time.
One of the employees discovered the
blaze and Immediately sounded the alarm
Before any of the firemen arrived the
entire main structure was in flames. Great
clouds of black smoke attracted the atten-
ton of people all over the city and within
half an hour the yards and surrounding
fences were crowded with spectators.
The main structure was 100 feet in length,
100 feet in width and 80 feet high. 1t was
constructed of timber and was sheathed
on the outside with corrugated ron The
floor of vitrified brick The building
was erected several years ago. Last year
the stock yards company found a need
of increased capacity and erected an ad-
dition 200 feet long by 90 feet in width.
This building similar in construction
to the other and was also destroyed.
AT the time of the fire 993 head of sheep
were confined in pens in the big barn.
When the alarm was given some of the
mer at hand hustled out 500 head into the
alleys and these were saved. The others
were smothered to death The barns burn
ed had a capacity of 20,ooo head. The loss
on the sheep is estimated at 5000, fully
covered by insurance

TO THE HAGUE.
1t Is Settled That Venezuela
Matter Will Go There.
ALI Parties Concerned Have
Sanctioned This Plan.
WANTED ROOSEVELT.
But Followed His Suggestion in
the Matter.
A Small Cash Payment in Ad-
vance Is Demanded.

Washington, Dec. 26.-President Roose-
velt will not be the arbitrator of the
Venezuelan controversy. The whole vex-
atious subject will be referred for adJu-
dication to The Hague tribunal.
Eoitomized this was the situation IS
it resolved itself at the conclusion OF the
cabinet meeting today. The meeting
was not SO long as the sessions usually
are All the members except Secretary
Root were present. The Venezuela II
question was the principal and prac-
tically the only topic of general concern
under consideration. Secretary Hay pre-
sented the net results of his cable corrc-
spondence with the governments at Lon
don, Berlin, Rome and Caracas. In ac-
cordance with the suggestion made by
President Roosevelt through Secretary
Hay. President Castro was reported 10
have agreed to submit the difficulties to
the arbitration of the tribunal at The
Hague. The European powers not only
consented to submit the controversy to
arbitration. but while they had ex-
pressed preference for an arbitration
to be conducted by President Roosevelt,
they had assented to his suggestion that
the matter be referred to The Hague
The presentation Of the case met the
is expressed by the administration thai
the Monroe doctrine will be brought into
the controversy in any manner that
might result in an embarrassing situa-
ton for the United States Secretary
Hay is preparing a note to the powers
IN which the qualification of this gov
ernment Is expressed for the course
agreed UPON.
NO intimation is given of the conditions
which may have been imposed by the Eu-
roDean powers OF by President Castro
precedent to the arbitration. 1t is known
that Great Britain was willing to subject
to the arbitration of President Roosevelt
practically without conditions but the
suggestion is made that one and perhaps
two of the other powers involved pro-
posed some conditions " Tlich might have
proved embarrassing to the president had
he undertaken the responsibility of de-
termining the question.
/ It Is understood that some money must
| pass but it also is known that the
amount of cash to be required of Vene-
zuela before arbitration is not nearly SC
large as has been stated. 1t is not posi-
BILE to learn either whether the allies in
sist upon apologies from Castro and while
1t is assumed that the blockade will be
speedily raised. no arrangement to that
| end has yet been made.
