PRESIDENT DECLINES
TO ARBITRATE.
Allied Powers Dissatisfied With Bowen's Atti-
tude---Ask President to Arbitrate Ques-
ton of Preferential Payment
He Refuses.

Washington, Feb. 6.-1rritated by
the note of Minister Bowen, Nenczue-
las representative, addressed to the
British ambassador on Monday last,
refusing to accept the allies proposal
for scheme of preferential payments,
by which Great Britain, Germany and
Italy were to receive 90 per cent. and
the remaining eight creditor nations
tenpercent. of the customs of La Quay
ra and Porto Cabello, the allied powers
have instructed their representatives
now to submit the question of prefer
entail treatment for settlement to
President Roosevelt, and in the event
that he declines to act as arbiter to
take this, and possibly the entire Ven
ezuela question, to The Hague for set
tlement, thereby breaking off negoti-
at1ons with Mr.. Bowen.
WillNot Serve.
Washington, Feb. z. = President
Roosevelt has declined the invita-
ton of the allied powers to arbi-
trate the question as to whether they
shall receive preferential treatment
in the settlement of their claims
against Venezuela over the other
creditor nations. He reached this de-
cision shortly before four o'clock
Friday afternoon, and instructed Sec
retary Hay to dispatch a note to the
British embassy at once, advising the
British ambassador to that effect.
The matter, therefore, now will be
referred to The Hague tribunal This
will result in the immediate raising
of the blockade.
Would Not Embnrrnss Bowen.
The administration, it is stated in
an official quarter, was unwilling to
approve the effort of the British
government to eliminate Minister
Bowen from the negotiations, and
moreover the president could not
have accepted the invitation of the
allies even had he been so disposed,
without the consent of the other ne
gotiator, Minister Bowen, and this
the allies did not obtain or request
in their note of invitation to the
president.
Victory for Bowen.
In administration and diplomatic
circles, the reference to The Hague
is regarded as a victory for Minister
Bowen, as Venezuela hereby is ena-
bled to recover from the distressing
effect of the blockade before start,

The cumbersome machinery of The

lights dimly shining through scarlet
bulbs, the whole enclosed in a ground
glass bulb which is blood red. In
other cities the red lights are sgnifi-
cant OF other conditions; while here,
in the temple of national legislation
over the entrances of the Sanhedrim
of the chosen ones, the red light in
dicates that exclusiveness profound is
ordered. On the inside the legislative
,deities are considering executive APP
pointments and sitting treaties with
foreign governments.
Not only do the red lights indicate
that the senate is in executive session.
The glittering uniforms of the capt. oil
police officials who surround the cham
ber, keep the people moving in the
corridors, while two sit at either side
of each of the grand marble stairways
leading to the galleries. Every public
entrance is closed. 1t looks as though
the senate had been Theoretically
sealed. The atmosphere is permeated
with awe. One is so deeply impressed
that chilly sensation chases up and
down your back, while shrinking from
the sacred silence. If one moves toe

taps the shoulder of the intruder, and
in an undertaker's whisper reminds
him that the senate is in executive ses.

bodies a season." he said. He re-
ceived, all told, $50 for each body.
DR.. Alexander said he hired Can
trell to clean a lot of skeletons in the
old college building for $25. Cantrell,
whom the defendant then knew as
William Rufus, said he had worked
about medical colleges and wanted
employment. On one occasion, in
July, 1902, DR.. Alexander talked with
Cantrell about procuring bodies for
dissection, the negro saying he had
done that kind of work for different
colleges and would like to do it
again.
DR.. Alexander then made arrange.
ments to supply material of this
kind and to be paid $50 for each body
delivered at the college. Cantren
afterwards furnished seven bodies to
the college, but the witness declared
he did not know any graves had been
robbed until claims were made for
bodies at the college. DR.. Alexander
denied having bought tools or revolv-
ers for Cantrell, but admitted he had
advanced him money, and had paid
his fine in the police court

MISS MINES VANISHED.

During the day the chimney had been
giving out continuous heavy, black
angry smoke. AS it grew dark the Of
hcers moved up near the mill and their
long vigil was rewarded by seeing Mines
return and unlock the mill and go in.
The officers thought they had her now.
After waiting few minutes they effect
cd an entrance rs before and went in and
searched everywhere but failed to find
her. They could not imagine what had
become of Miss Mines; she had vanished
They remained until nearly daylight and
then left and hid again in the woods.
As they left the mill house they noticed
that there was no fire in the chimney
place When it became light they were
surprised to see a heavy. black smoke
boiling out of the top of the chimney
They were certain now that there was
some other connection with the chimney
but where was IT?
They had critically examined the mill
house before that day. II was built
alongside of the river and into the hill.

death occurred Friday morning, and her

and preparations We're being made to

Of life were lacking, there was no pulse

SOME NEW QUESTIONS
TO THE SOUTH BEARING TO-
WARD PROTECTION.
Southern Democrats are Beginning
to Taste the Fruits Of the Policy
Which Develops Natural Resources
and Builds Up Some Industries.

The wonderful transition that has
taken place in the Southern states in
the past twenty-five years from
purely agricultural to manufactur-
ing section is brought into view by
Senator McLaurin of South Carollna'
in an article in the New York Com
mercial Advertiser of Feb. rs. In a
generation, says Senator McLaurln'
South Carolina has become competl-
tor of Massachusetts for first place
in cotton manufacture, and Blrmlng-
ham has become a formidable rival
OF Pittsburg in iron and steel produc-
ton. And yet the South has only ne
gun to cultivate the edge OF the vast
field of her industrial possibilities.
One-half of all the timber that stands
in the United States is south OF the
Mason and Dixon line. ALABAMA,
only one among a number OF South
ern states possessing great coal de'
nosits. has more bituminous coal
than Pennsylvania, much more iron
ore than Pennsylvania, and ten times
more timber than Pennsylvania. IN
view of the enormous industrial de-
velopment that has already taken
place in the South, and the still more
enormous industrial possibilities,
Senator McLaurin says:
reconsideration of these facts mas

sizes of an unpleasant though less cost
ly nature. So long as present condi-
'tions prevail it seems probable that
trouble involving temporary sus-
pension of business and consequent
loss to both sides, with more or less
damage to the public welfare, will
grow fewer, or perhaps even cease al
together.
, Yesterday it was announced that
the 1000 bricklayers of Chicago had
secured general advance of 40 cents
per day by conferences with repre-
sentatives of the contractors. The
new scale, which advances the rate of
pay to 60 cents per hour, is to stand
for three years. Could the same rea-
sonable method of arranging wage
schedules prevail in all employ!ments
we might look forward with conf
dence to a continuance of the present
prosperous era for an indefinite Pc
riod. ..E. ..
At present there are no indications
of an interruption in the present rate
of progress So far as can be fore
seen thereEis not likely to be any Till

about their business. One of the i'm
migration inspectors was female. She
made thorough canvass of the cabir
in search of women who had no right

right to land, with the single excep-
ton Of Miss Eleanor Jones-call it
who could not be found.
The inspector searched high and low
for the missing Eleanor, but there was
nothing doing" Finally she ap
pealed to a woman passenger to- help
her out.
