SENATOR BACON AS A COOK.
He Proves a Man May Be a Hero to
 His Valet.

Congressman John w. Maddox of Geor- gia is a great admirer of Augustus O. Bacon, the United States Senator from miration is not aroused alone by Mr Bacon's statesmanlike qualities.
 My chief reason for esteeming the Sen ator as I do' declares MT. Maddox, lis that he is the only man I have ever known who is capable of being a hero to his valet. You know everybody says that such a thing is impossible for any man, but I am sure, if Senator Bacon had valet, the valet would declare the Senator was hero. This is how I know it:
 "The Senator Is fond of hunting and fishing, and last year 1 had the pleasure of accompanying him on an outing. One day I cought big yellow-bellied tarra- pin The Senator was delighted, and stayed in camp the next day to superin- tend the soup making. The soup was de- licious, and we said so unreservedly In preparing the terrapin he had assist ing him a colored man of the neighbor- hood. whom we had employed. The man didn't know us. and never dreamed that the man in rough raiment presiding over the steaming kettle was a United States Senator.
 "The colored man was given a bowl of soup, and smacked his lips and otherwise displayed his senses of bliss.
 You like the soup do you, George? asked the Senator
 "Deed I do,' was the reply. Then he added:
 Say, boss, I'd like to ax you a lit- tie question:
 "What is it?' responded the Senator. Go ahead
 " I'd like to know said the darkey, between eager sips of the terrapin soup, is you jes' a plain cook or Is you stew ard? Foh you do cert'nly know yore business

The entire press holds Germany re- sponsible for the present situation. Germany is attacked in ho~ti!c articles, while Great Britain is praised. The newspapers insist that Germany in tended to acquire colonies in VenczuclI and Brazil.
 We notice similar telegrams in English papers" says the NOrd Deut- sChe Allemaine Zeitung, and if these statements are representative of the feeling in the United States with even approximate correctness we would have sincerely to deplore that the American press shows itself accessible tO wholly unfOunGed suspicious Of German policy. The government of the United States long ago was cateSOricalIy informed that Germany was seeking nothing in Venezuela beyond satisfaction for just claims and compensation. The Anglo German cooperation was based upon similarity of interests affected and only a willful prejudice could detect d difference in the proceedings of the two countries. The course of events will demonstrate that the intention of the German government is free from ad- vcntuTouS motives"

WATCHING WAESHIPs.

San Juan, r. R.. December 19.-The United States cruiser Albany left Cule- bra under high speed last night and her destination is the subject of various TumOrs throughout the fleet.
 The general belief is that she is bound for Venezuela. Admiral Dewey and other officers on board the May flower declined to announce the Al bany's destination or explain her mis- sion. but il was asserted that plans re- garding the Christmas holidays will not be materially modified. The fact that there has been no change in th- 'ecisiOn to send four battleships to TTinicad and a cruiser to Curacao is 'isEihcant because in the opinion of he authorities nothing has occurred to warrant change. At the same time -he presence of these formidable ships 1t Trinidad is expected to exert q SalutaTy effect.

GERMANY ACCEPTS.

Berlin. December 19.-The answer Of Germany to the arbitration propOsa m behalf of Venezuela was received through the United States government and is it's acceptance. The delivery of this reply to the United States for transmission to Minister Bowen is de layed for a day or two for tactical reasons, probably through expectation that another solution may be found possibly by President Castro yielding Four days ago the idea of the German government was to favor the rejecting If arbitration, and that was understood here to have been the temner of the British foreign office. While it is i'm possible to trace the steps that led to reversal of this view, it appears that the state of public opinion in the United States so far as Germany iS concerned, produced a revision of the first idea.

Washington, December 19.-Delegatc Rodey of New Mexico today published an appeal directed to the editors anz the press of the country. asking for their aid and for fair treatment of the territories that are fighting for admiss- ion to the union against powerful sec tional and other interests that, he says are trying to keep them out. lie says there prevails everywhere a great lack of information. He contends that the census is incorrect as to the territories of New Mexico and Arizona; that Arizona has not less than 115 900 peop,e within its borders. and they are as IT, telligent as any people in the nation and there is not to exceed five or SIX per cent of illiteracy in the population of the territory; that it is the richest mineral section Of the United States and that it has absolute and prospective irrigation projects and possibilities that would make it rank as one of the most prosperous of states. He declares that the Mormon question is of so lit tie account there that it could no. figure in the territnry's affairs.

Washington, December 19.-The ofii- cfal day closed without further dcvel- opments here respecting Venezuelan complications. The statIs Of the arbi- tration proposition, on which everyone waits, was that, with 9 Willingness to accept such solution in principle, not one of the allies were ready to submit unrcservedly to arbitration. In each ease there were reservations or cOndi- tious insisted upon. Respecting the method of arbtra ton if it should come ta that form of adjustment, it is noted that the feeling is growing that the Hague tribunal should undCrtIke the ease.
 MT. Bowen, it is reported, wishes to come to Washington in order tO per sonally effect an adjustment with the resident ambassadors of the allies, but while the state department makes ID statement upon the poirt it is be- licvcd that it does not regard this plaE with favor.
 It is pointed out here, in connection with the project to refer the matter tn the Hague tribunal that some phasc5 Ci the dispute will not admit of al bi- trat.On. Sach is the case for instance NutIc dlldCkS OI bIlblS0 ana tTeEIildn subjects and the German legation at Caracas, and arrests of consular offi- coTs, have made the Venezuelan offense equivalent to attacks on the national honor of the allies and such can be atOned for only by ample apology The Hague tribunal could not arhitratc such issues. but it is pointed out at the state department that the claims are divisible. and that if President Castro chooses to render the necessary apologies the remaining questions can properly go to the Hague. IT is be- iicvcd that the government inclines tr the view that there is a disposition tC insist needlessIy on guarantees foI payment by VenezueIt of an y judg- ment that might be rendered against her by arbitration. It is believed that the force of enlightened public opinion would absolutely ensure the settlement of any judgment rendered by the aug ust tribunal and that President Gas tro would not be sustained by a single American country in defauIting.
