London, February S.-No expression could be obtained today in relation to the disclosures made in Washington yesterday of the secret arrangement between Italy and Germany in the Venezuelan affair."
 The ministers now have a week in which to clear up the Venezuelan ques- tion before the meeting of parliament Apparently they do not expect to suc- ceed, for the party organs are begin ming to make apologies for the govern ment's unpopular course, and to mini nize the importance of the Venezuelan affair. These defenses start off with the acquittal of the king of all responsibili- ty for the cooperation with Germany, and his case is clear as far as the ear Hest proposals are concerned, since ne was critically ill when the question Was raised. Austen Chamberlain-s argC- ment is followed in preference to Lord Cranborne's, and the declara ton that it was impossible for the government to avoid o-operation with Germany is accompanied by expressions of regret that MT.

 The storm reigned several days reaching it's maximum strength be- tween January 14 and January 16 From the meagre news received it is estimated that ore thousand of the islanders lost their lives, and it is feared that later advices will add to the long list. Conservative estimates place the number of islands visited by the tidal wave and hurricane at eighty All of them are under the control Of the French governor at Tahiti.

COPPER BOOM
 WILL BE EARLY One Optimist Says IA Gents
 Before July
Strength of Copper Stocks Both in New York and Boston, Attracts Attention, and, Although Partly Due to Manipulation. Is Accepted as Encouraging.

New York, February S.-The strength Of the copper market and the conse- quent strength of copper stocks on both the Boston and New York exchanges; is attracting wide attention in trade and financial circles. It is a matter of considera ble uncertainty to what eX- tent the recent advance of Amalgam- ated copper stock has reflected the inn provement of the copper market and how much it is due to inside manipc- lation.
 In regard to some of the minor issues little doubt is expressed that the re- cent activity has been almost entirely due to pool activity. but it is equally clear that the principal interests in several copper companies have chosen 9 favorable market upon which to dra. " attention to their stocks.
 An official of the Tennessee Copper company, the stock of which has ad- vanced about 10 points on the curb market within the past few days, states that it is in his opinion unquestionable that copper will rule at materially higher prices throughout the current year. Speaking generally he believes J \ a satisfactory profit to producers.
 John R. Stanton, secretary of the Copper Producers association. says: coming at length to realize that the visible supply is not nearly so large as certain bearish manipulators would have them believe. In other words. their uistlust in the market is giving ,,1o loI; relation between supply and demand and confidence in the stability of prices at or above the present level. Tn place of the former method of buying from hand to mouth. consumers are now taking on large supplies in anticipa ton of higher prices.
 Personally, I believe the estimate Of 275,00OOO0 pounds visible supply to he greatly in excess of the actual amount l would place it nearer 60, 900 tons ana i venture to say that if the production os copper were to cease today the total supply on hand would be exhausted within sixty days at the present rate Of demand.
 "It is not unlikely that copper will sell above I3 cents d pound this week A customer, wno is one of the three largest consumers in the United States. remarked to me the other day that he expected to see it sell up to II cents De- fore July. I do not care to indorse that prediction, but the remark will serve to illustrate the new attitude of buyers toward the market.
 "A change for the better is certainly welcome. for in spite of prosperity in other departments Of trade the past year has not been prosperous one n ,he copper business, not only on ac- count of low prices put also on account of the increased cost of labor and ma terials''

LARGEST STEAMSHIP AFLOAT.
White Star Liner Cedric Starts on Her
 Maiden Voyage on February II.

New York, February S.-The new White Star Line steamship Cedric, the largest vessel in the world, will sal from Liverpool on February II on her maiden voyage to this port. The big liner was built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast, and has just been placed In commission.
 In one sense the Cedric is a sister ship to the Celtic. which heretofore has been counted the largest ship afloat. The ex- teI'nal dimensions of the two vessels are identical. but by reason of structural differences to provide passenger accom- mOd2 tions, the gross tonnage of the Cedric is greater. The new vessel Is zoo feet long. n feet beam, and 49 1-3 feet deep. with gross tonnage of Loon and displacement of 3S.200 tons. She has nine decks and is built on the cellu lar double bottom principle.
 The Cedric will accommodate $50 frs; cabin, 250 second cabin and 1000 steer age passengers. The crew will consist of 435 men, In external appearance the Cedric differs little from the Celtic

BUREAU FOR TICKET FoRGERs
All Impol tant Systems of the Country
 Unite in Protective Scheme.

New York, February S.-Representa- tives of all the important railroad sys- tems of the United States met on Sat urday at the offices Of the Trunk Line association. No. 143 Liberty street, to take action on the project for the formation of protective bureau or association. in order to trace the per- petratcrs of frauds in railroad passen- ger tickets and to prosecute them without regard to time or expense.
 The Trunk Line association, the Gen. tral, the New England, the Transcoc- tinental, the Southern and the South western Traffic associations were all represented by the chairmen of their committees and hy members. The sev- en associations named include all the leading railroad companies in this country. George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Cen tral. occupied the chair.
 It is understood that the bureau is likely to be modelled after the protec- tive features of the American Bankers association, employing detective agnecy to hunt down the forgers and manipulators of spurious tickets and equally dividing the expenses of detec- ton and prosecution among all the lines represented in the different rail- | road associations.

WISHES DELAWARE
 TO FORBID DIVORCE:
Bishop Coleman Does Not Believe in
 Separation For Any Cause.

Wilmington, Del, February B. Bishop Leighton Coleman of the Epis- copal Diocese of Delaware, has begun an agitation of the divorce question. He wishes the general assembly to pass q law forbidding divorces in this state on any ground. He contends that such a law would be in accordance with the divine commands, and would improve the condition of human SO ciety. The bishop had the following to say relative to the matter:
 II am unalterably opposed to di- vorces on any ground whatsoever. Any Legislation or any interpretation of the law that promises to make it more difficult to obtain divorces meets with my hearty and grateful approval.
 Tt has long been d reproach in this scandalous business that, while it has been Impossible in some states to Ob- tain divorces for certain alleged causes, it has been possible to do so in other sections of the country.
 What is wanted-and wanted badly is that there should be on this vital question uniform legislation through out the land. The one law which I should like to see enacted would be one that should be the same as that which is in force in South Carolina, which forbids diVoroes on any Ground-2 hu- man law which, I believe. is in accord with the divine. and which I trust may ere long be the canon law of that branch of the church to which I have the privilege of belonging.
 T am thoroughly persuaded that any other law leaves the door wide open for such collusion and general vicious ness as threaten the very foundations of human society,"

Washington, February S.-An indica- tions point to the conclusion of the de bate on the statehood bill during the present week, but no one can tell at this time just when in the week the change will come. or how it will come If the plans of the republican leaders who oppose the statehood bill are put into effect, the committee on territories will bring in . substitute bill early in the week providing for the cOnsolida- ton and the admission of two states Arizona and New Mexico and Okla homa and the Indian territory.
 This will probably not be done. how ever. unless assurance can be made that the republican vote can be oD -tained for the consolidation.
 If this plan does not take shape Sen ator Quay is likely to press his state hood amendment on the agricultural appropriation bill and q test of strength would ersue- The vote on this amend ment will be very close if taken. and while the omnibus bill advocates feel
  thSt it will not he so large as it would be on direct vote on the statehood bill alone and by itself
 There is now some talk of admitting only Oklahoma, but if this should be undertaken it will be only as q last re sort, and will be postponed until toward the end of the session. All senators are becoming very restless under the pres ent conditions. and it is evident that they can not long continue.
 Tomorrow, in accordance with notice given by Senator Allison, the bill mak- ing appropriations for the District Of Columbia will be taken up. Some DOT tions of this bill will arouse debate but advantage will be taken of the oppor- tunity to further the efforts to com promise the differences on the state hood bill
 The impression is that no compromise will be effected. Senator Quay and his friends have so far encourag ged none. All talk of it has come from those who are in opposition to the omnibus bill. and they themselves are not agreed upon the proposition to admit the two states. It is favored by still fewer O. the republican senators who are sup porting the omnibus measure which Mr Quay assures his followers will pass either as it is now before the sena;e CT as an amendment to one of the ap- propriation bills
