Fraught With Danger.
Washington, Jan. 29.-The Venezuelan
situation tonight is still very uncertain
and officials are awaiting with some
concern the developments of the next
ferty-eight hours. No final answer has
come to Minister BoWens proposition Of
feriug guarantee demanded By the al
lies as the preliminary to the raising of
the blockade and the relief of the unfor-
places the people and government of
Venezuela The contention Of the three
allies that they shall be given preferen-
tial treatment in the settlement and pay
ment OF their claims as against all the
other seven creditor nations is the point
on which the negotiations now hang fire.
Minister Bowen is insistent that the al
lies shall not have preferential treatment
in the matter of the payment of the
claims. and in all his conferences with
the representatives of the European gov
ernments here he has made his position
Bowen Is Firm.
ii is known that he has declined to mod
fly his demands in this respect. Pressure
along certain influential lines has been
brought to bear on the allies TO show the
justice of Mr.. Bowen $ contention. The
rejection of his proposition for the treat
ment of all the creditors alike. it is be
lieved here. would result in throwing the
case to The Hague tribur al. before which
body all the nations having claims
against Venezuela would be placed on an
equal footing It is known that the allies
would prefer that this should not be
done. consideration of the claims by

their settlement. and there are other fea-
lures which makes il desirable to the al
lies that the claims be settled outside OF
that body One of them is that if they
came before The Hague tribunal Vene-
Zuela would have the right to set UT

scented by the allies These. it is said

in 1869 Queen Victoria took a
great interest in whiskcrs in the
British navy. She wrote to the first
lord of the admiralty in that year:
''The queen thanks Mr.. Childers
very much for his communication
on the subject Of boards. She thinks
the order viii DO extremely we'll.
Her own personal feeling would be
for the boards without the mus
taches. as the latter have rather a
soldierlike appearance. but then the
object in view would not be attained
Ito prevent the necessity for shaw

proposed, the entire beard. only it

The queen wishes TO make one addi-
tional observation respecting the

mustaches be- allowed without
boards That must be clearly an-
derstOod."

The clever young man was wan

Still, it is difficult to disappoint a

ON THE QUEENS THRONE.
The Little Wait Was Chosen For the
place Of Honor.


Little Edith's mother had grant
ed her permission to give q party
to her small girl friends. Among
the invited guests was little girl
named Nellie, VIC until recently
had spent most of her short life in
a founding asylum, says the New
York Times. Edith's mother was
somewhat afraid that Nellie might
be snubbed by the more fortunate
girls. In one of the games a little
girl selected for the honor sits en-
throned in the largest chair in the
room, while the rest salute her as
the "queen" and pay her due defer
ence. Edith's mother happened to
visit the playroom while this game
was in progress. She was much
pleased to see that, instead of being
snubbed, Nellie was occupying the
seat of dignity. And she held it
not as if it had been granted as a
favor, but as if it was hers by right.
q was glad to see you were 50
nice to Nellie today" said Edith's
mother that evening when the. little
one was telling the incidents Of the
party just before bedtime.
Edith gave little sigh. "Ncllie's
a nice girl" she admitted, "but she
does put on such airs You SEQ, she
is from the asylum and was found

born. And Nellie says it is SO COM
