decline their Offer of marriage for the reason
that he is not seeking wife.
The fifty photographs sent to Mr. Bailey
will he returned to the senders. He has
declined positively to give the names OF
these women for the reason. he says. that
many OF them are honestly seeking hus-
bands, and that they would no doubt make
happy homes for them. Many are school,
teachers, stenographers, clerks and dress
makers.
New York leads with sixty-six applica-
tions for the new bachelor Governor

the extent Of seizing Venezuelan custom
HOUSES and administering the customs to
secure payment Of their claims. this Govern
ment will not interfere nor will it protest
against the holding Of limited spaces around
the custom houses by troops Of the al
lies to insure against attack. II is known
also that the Government would see no
violation Of the traditional American policy
in the capture and holding Of Caracas as
a military measure OF the allied forces
But should the allies attempt to hold Ca
racas or any other Venezuelan town or
strip Of territory as security for the
payment OF their claims. this Government
would construe that action as violation of
the Monroe Doctrine and would be guided
accordingly.
II was learned tonight that one OF the
causes for the hesitation of the Admins
tration to turn the Venezuelan dispute
over to The Hague tribunal is the fact
that the Powers have requested of this
Government, in that event, definite as
surances that the award of the tribunal
will be accepted by Venezuela. Such a
guarantee would, to certain extent, make
the United States responsible for the award,
and consequently the debts of Venezuela,
which this Government wishes, Of all things,
to avoid.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. 25.-The political
feeling OF the Texas Democracy Is now
settling toward the New York jurist, Judge
Alton B. Parker, for the nomination for
President, and there Is a good-sized boom
started for him as against w. j. Bryan
by many of the State newspapers. Since
the day that President Mckinley trumphed
over Bryan for the second time. there began
q process Of realignment Of the Texas Democ-
racy. Its rank and file esteem Mr.. Bryan
as a man as highly as ever. They also
know there are other statesmen, and they
hope and believe there are men In the ranks
Of the Democracy that can defeat the
Republican nominee for President In 1904
1t is undeniably true that the present
trend Of Democratic sentiment in Texas
inclines toward Judge Parker of New York,
and his candidacy is being pushed for all
it il worth by Texas Democrats, especially
by many OF the State papers. United States
Senator j. w. Bailey, perhaps the most
conspicuous OF all the Texas Democrats,
has abandoned the idea that the party
should nominate Arthur Pue German and
makes no concealment Of his opinion that
Judge Parker seems to be the most available

bilt ever since Mr.. Vanderbilt became ill.,
was made a prisoner at the Waldorf
Astoria yesterday afternoon after a fight
with one Of the hotel detectives and several
porters. He was lodged in the nsane pa
vilon at Bellevue Hospital.
Several days ago he went to the Wander
bilt house with a letter written on thirty
two pages Of Waldorf Astoria paper. The
butler saw that the letter was full Of nom
sense and handed the man over to the
police, who shooed him out OF the neighbor-
hood, He was not arrested because he was
regarded as harmless.
He came back the next day with q pad
Of paper and after scribbling on it a while
in front Of the house ran away He came
back several other times and repeated the
operation. He came again yesterday with
his pad. With it, however, he carried a
large lily. When he got near the house
he met two reporters who had just been
there and learning that Mr.. Vanderbilt 3

Thank God! My prayers a e answered.
Then he asked one Of the reporters to
take the lily to Mr.. Vanderbilt. The re-
porter declined and the man went and
pushed the bell button for some time.
but didn't get any response, az the bell
is disconnected. He left the lily on the
top step and went to the Waldorf-Astoria.
He had been seen around the corridors
there almost every day for a week. He
went first to the cafe and ordered bottle
OF wine, but the waiter discovered that the
man had only one dollar and would not
serve him.
After scribbling up several pages Of
the hotel paper the man went out. He
returned soon and walked up and down
the hotel corridor muttering. Every few
seconds he shouted:
