what the Foreign ONCE Says.

All the foreign office officials will say
about DIR. Won HOlleben is: He has
not been recalled. and his leave is
granted upon his own initiative. The
government would never recall an am
basSador in the midst of important
negotiations without grave reasons,
and these certainly do not exist in
this case. The supposition that the
government * annoyed because the
ambassador tailed to obtain President
RoOSevelt's acceptance of the arbitra-
tOrship of the Venezuelan dispute is
wholly incorrect.
Expected That Roosevelt Might Decline.
Germany reckoned in advance that
the president might have weighty rea-
sons for declining; hence her note of
Dec. % contained the alternative
proposition to refer the matter to The
Hague arbitration court. Still il was
felt that the international political fac.
tors in the case dictated the appropria-
tenness of first Offering the president
the arbitratorship."

The proceedings were opened to-

Torrey, who delivered an address in
dicating what the company would try
to prove. His speech was along the
same lines and supplementary to the
general opening of the case on behalf
of the respondents already made.
He said they would prove the min
ers' union had no control over its
members and that no blacklist was
ever prepared or recognized by his
company; that the evidence produced
by the company will tend to indicate
its sincere Gesire to establish and
maintain amicable and friendly re-
lations with its employees; that all
claims and charges made by the min
ers would be proven either false OF
without merit.

AMERICAN HAWTHORNS.
Surprises in the Field Of Botany That
Have Come in the Last
Few Years.

The explorations Of botanists have
developed, during the past few years,
certain facts concerning the Amer
lean hawthorns which constitute one
of the surprises in the field Of bot
any, says the Boston Transcript. To
the merely lay mind the mention of
the hawthorn commonly suggests
only an attractive ornamental tree
of English, or at least of European
origin; the idea that there are spe-
cies Indigenous to our own soil prov
ing generally an interesting but quite
novel bit Of information. And it
NAV be added that although stu
dents of the North American sylvia
have always been we'll aware of
too, it seems. until very recent years,
had but faint comprehension OF the
somewhat astonishing facts.
So far as is now known. the prin
cipal home Of the hawthorn is North
America. England has but single
species, Crataegus oxyacantha, which
with a few others of continental
Europe have. in the hands OF garden
ers and hyhridizers, been so greatly
differentiated that their various ori
gins have become a perplexed ques-
ton. japan, too, for wonder, has
only one species, and but two or
three are yet known as indigenous
to China. though this great field may
Weld others to more exact research.
American forests. however, abound
in them. They are distributed from
Newfoundland to the Pacific. and
southward to Texas.
