DEBTS OF VENEZUELA.
Obligations Of the Government Amount
to Over $4,000, 900.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Partial con
flrmation has been obtained here of
cable dispatches hat Belgium is to
take a prominent part in the admin
istration Of the customs receipts. Mr..
Bowen declines to discuss the details
of his plan, however, until the blockade
has been raised. Late in the afternoon
he gave out a brief statement of the
diplomatic debt of Venezuela and the
methods for its future adjustment.
In round numbers this debt
amounted on Dec. 81. 1901, to some
thing over $14, 900, 900, and consisted
of claims which had previously been
adjusted. Since that date, owing to
the almost constant state of revolution
which has prevailed In Venezuela, no
payments have been made on the debt.
Mr.. BOwen's plan provides that 13 per
cent Of the customs receipts Of all the
Venezuelan ports shall go toward the
payment of this debt. This arrange
nowise with the plan Of Mr.. Bowen,
ment Of the Nnadjudicated claims. For
Of the customs duties of the two ports
Of Puerto CabellO and La Guayra have
been offered in pledge by Mr.. Bowen.
These ports were selected because
they would be the last to fall into the
hands of the revolutionists. Assur-
ances have been given the French gov
eminent that it shall receive fair treat
ment in the settlement of it's claims,
and that no previous arrangements
which it has made with Venezuela
shall be interfered with.

Students Of household management

have then existed that entree to the

breach of this custom vas heavy it may
be presumed that the sin WIS esteemed

MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE
ALLIES REPRESENTATIVES, DIG.
CUSS VENEZUELAN AFFAIRS
WITH MH. BOWEN.
BLOCK NOT YET RAISED

Meeting Takes Place by Appointment
and at the Request of the Foreign
Observation-Disclosures Bowen Issues

Which We're Considered.
Washington. Jan. 29.-The British
and Italian ambassadors and Count

called IN Mr.. Bowen, Venezuelan rep

to a raising of the blockade and a set
Element of the claims against Vene.
zuela, about 1920 o'clock p. m. and
held a conference with him. The con-
ference was by appointment and at the
request of the representatives. 1t is
believed that the proposition was to
present the claims Of the allies to
preferential treatment in payments
over those nations which have not ex-
erted physical pressure on Venezuela,
but it was impossible to get any direct
information on this point.
The conference broke up at 1890
O'Clock and the representatives If the
allies proceeded at once to their homes.
1t was made known that no agreement
had yet been reached for the raising
of the blockade and that further word
must be awaited from Europe before
this stage of the negotiations is passed.
Details respecting payments still re-
main to be adjusted to the common
satisfaction of all concerned, and as
under the instruction each diplomatic
representative of the allies must report
to his Own country, these representa-
tiOns in turn being the subject of cable
grams between the allies in order that
the concert between them may be pre-
served, it will be at least twenty-four
hours longer before the blockade can
be removed. BY common consent, the
duty of giving the press a statement
of the conference as far as it was
deemed polite to make n
ment. was devolved on Mr.. Bowen.
That ~gentleman's statement was as
follows:
1--WE have been discussing certain
points which iced to be clearly under
stood. These have been referred to
us for consideration and our views are
now to be communicated at once to
Rome, London and Berlin"
The further statement was made
after the conference that there is alb.
sOlutely no foundation for the charges
that Germany was delaying the sign
ing of the preliminary protocol. The
representations considered emanated
from the London foreign Office.

Red Color In Battle.

The number of soldiers slain in battle
depends a great deal on the color of
their uniforms. The more conspicuous
b helmet and jacket the better the
target. and consequently the greater
the mortality. Red attracts the eye

that color are killed to seven in rifle

CHINAMEN IN AMERICA.
Nearly All of Them Came from
kwOng TunE, Most POpulous
Province "a China.

II is estimated that there are atost
100000 Cinnamon in the United States,
and that 10000 of them are in San
Francisco. There is n considerable
Chinese colony in New York and there
are small colonies in Philadelphia,
Boston and Chicago. Though they 40
not belong to the educated classes, 95
per cent. Of them can read and write,
says Leslie's Monthly. A daily paper
in the Chinese language is published in
San Francisco and another in New
York.
Nearly all the Chiname in the United
States come from the single province
of kwong Tung, the most populous OF
the is provinces Of the Chinese empire.
Its capital Is Canton. Six counties of
this province send out most Of the
emigrants to the United States. The
inhabitants Of this province have for
centuries been more adventurous and
fonder Of travelling than the rest Of
their feilow-conntrymen, and they are
always ready to face danger II there

MICROBE OF HYDROPHOBIA.
The Germ OF the Dread Dis ease Has
Been discovered and Fully
Analysed.

Prof. Sormani, of the University of
Pavia, has given to the Chicago Chron-
icle correspondent the following
statemen in regard to the significance
of his discovery of the hydrophobia mi
crobe:
"Thls discovery fills a great gap in
modern science, for heretofore we
have been totally ignorant Of the mi
crobe of hydrophobia. The researches
Of other bacteriologists have resulted
in descriptions by various authorities
OF this microbe, but none had been able
to embody in one and the same whole
the various details discovered.
'The rabies microbe being poly
morpheus or many formed, the discov-
erers Of the various forms did not asso-
ciate them in one biological connection.
Then the study of all the different
forms required an enormous amount
OF time, research and the best appli-
ances, all OF which have been able to
give them
"The microbe itself is extraordinar-
ily small, being visible only when en-
larged from 1900 to 1900 diameters
and observation is only possible at 1000
to 5000 diameters.
The discovery Of the microbe will
remove all obscurity in the Pasteur
methods, rabies antitoxin being pro-
durable from scientifically propagated
microbes instead Of from the issues
OF diseased animals, the purity Of
which is uncertain.
1T completes Pasteur's discovery
and supplies a certain cure for rabies
when properly applied. The microbe
was obtained from the salivary glands
and nerve tissues of rabid animals.
1T has a remarkable facility for
changing lis shape. These changes
are not mere caprices Of nature, but
follow definite laws. Sometimes 1t is
like little cloud, at other times like
flake Of wool and mt still other times
1t seems to possess numberless ran.ifi-
cations"
