NOW COMES HARD WORK
Making Satisfactory Protocols Pro-
viding for Venezuelan
" Settlement. ="

Washington, Feb. MANY exchanges
are going on between Washington and
European capitals as: to the protocols for
a settlement of the Venezuelan claims.
The task of drawing up these documents
is complicated.
The first set will provide for a refer
ence Of the question of preferential claims
to The Hague tribunal. This issue can
be soon disposed of by arbitration quick
ly, if all the parties, including the other
claimant powers, agree upon one person
as the arbiter, probably the minister fo1
foreign affairs Of the Netherlands.
| A more difficult set of protocols to ar
range will be those aproviding for the
final settlement. If the negotiators ac-
cept Mr.. Bowens proposal constituting
separate commissions at Caracas to pass
upon questions of facts, such as the &C.
tual value of property claimed to have
been seized or destroyed, these proto
coils may be drawn within a few days.

villages among the mountains of New
Hampshire.
Mrs Chaplin announced my arrival to
Mrs. Ames, who was at her husbands
bedside, but who was willing to greet a.
Minneapolis visitor. . DR.. Ames himself
delegates his wife to speak for him to all
intervieWers. His doctors forbid him to
discuss his condition or, Minneapolis af-
fairs with any one, for his mind cannot
stand the strain.
Casual observers might suppose from
the appearance of the doctors face that
he is not as sick as he has been repre-
sented, in consequence Of an apparent
fulness which seems to betoken fairly
|good health. I was informed, however,
by Mrs. Anes that this appearance was
due to the effect of kidney arrangement,
and the doctors face was really bloated,
extremely emaciated. Later Dr. Charles
Fl. Cutler, his physician, substantiated
Mrs. Ames' statement. She said that
when they arrived at Hancock after their
| departure from Louisville the doctor was
| in an extremely critical condition, and 1t
was necessary to call in a physician.
There is no physician in the little village.
and hence Dr. Cutler of Peterboro was
called to the case and has been visiting
| DR.. Ames at Intervals ever since that
time.
Why They Left Louisville.
| Mrs. A1nes' explanation of their ex-

From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington. Feb. THE fight for
anti trust legislation has only just begun.
This is the belief of President Roosevelt.
The passage of the Littlefield bill by the
house does not advance the ad1ninistra-
ton program In any material degree. The
parliamentary situation is such that the
senate will have to repeat its perform
ance, which there is no certainty that it
will do. The house will then have to
begin over again at a point where it
started some weeks ago.
The discouraging feature of the stu
alton is the discovery that Speaker Hen
derson and one or two Of his lieutenants
have suddenly conceived dislike for the
administrations antitrust program and
are unwilling to grant the necessary rule
to bring on another vote in the house.
In the event of the speakers failure to
do SO, both the Littleheld and senate
antitrust bills will fail of becoming laws,
in face of the fact that each has been
passed by one branch of congress. In
the present situation it is impossible to
throw the bills into conference and thus
harmonic the differing measures.

Berlin, Feb. THE Frankfurter lei
tung prints a letter from a German
merchant who has resided for thirteen
years in Caracas. He says that Ger
many's coercive measures seem to have
been chosen to damage German interests
as much as possible. Germans have suf-
fered severely from the seizure of coast
ing vessels under the Venezuelan flag,
the coasting trade being largely in Ger
man hands. Their cargoes, being largely
natural products of the country, neces
sarily spoiled and it will be difficult to
get compensation. The writer declares
that If Germany had not had a diplo-
matte representative in Caracas it would
have been much better for the Germans

satisfied With Hours and Wages

Amesbury. Mass, Jan. 1--Acting upon
instructions given by their Union last
night, six hundred carriage workers went
on strike here today and as a result the
principal industry of the town Is badly
crippled.
The manufacturers claim that they have

very few carriage mechanics reported to-
day and that those who did report were
not members of the union.
Early today pickets were established at
the railroad station and succeeded in in
ducing a few men who had come here to
work at. tn shops, TO withdraw. the Car
riage and Wagon workers union paying
the expense OF the return trip.
r. T. Briggs, the principal manufactur-
er In town. stated today that he had 30
per cent OF his men at work and added
that a list OF 1000 names of men desiring
work In Amesbury was accessible TO him
and he hoped to have full force at work
In very short time.
The strikers appear confident OF sue
cess and art hopeful that they will force
the manufacturers 10 yield. Their claim
Is for nine-hour day with an increase
OF wages amounting to IL per cent of the
present wage schedule. The strike for
the laborers is being conducted by the
local branch OF the Carriage and Wagon
