board a train for ST. Paul, their fu-
ture home, they were greeted by a VOL
ley of rice and shoes falling in profu-
sion over the carriage, driver, bride
and groom.
Melvin Glover, the driver, still held
the carriage door open to admit the
groom, the bride and her maid having
entered, when the horses took fright
and ran wildly down the street. At
the end of one block they turned a
sharp corner. The carriage struck an
obstruction, was wrecked and left a
pile of shattered hndling wood about
the frightened women, who miracu-
lously escaped death in the collision.
Breaking free from the carriage, the
team continued its mad career for
four miles before it was stopped
Mrs. Strongest recovered from her
shock and the couple continued on
their way to the station. The bride,
a daughter of Mrs. Nelos Emard, was
attended at her marriage by Miss
Eczema Shovelin, and Albert German
acted as best man.

Driven by McHenry, Dan Patch. the
premier PAGER OF the world, clipped
five and one-quarter seconds from the
track record at the state fair grounds ,
yesterday afternoon, and came within :
one second of the worlds record of
1:59, made by this same great horse
on the Brighton Beach track Aug. 10.
In covering the mile in two minutes
nat Dan Patch accomplished a great
feat and his owner and admirers are
now convinced that he can cut down
the hgures that even now mark him
the greatest pacing machine the world
has ever known.
Before McHenry sent the wonderful
animal away on his race against time
many feared that the state fair track
was not fast enough for a new worlds
record, but this feeling changed when
the figures for the mile were hung out
and the opinion is now. general that
Dan Patch, with conditions right, can
win new laurels before the week ends.
The showing of the PAGER surprised

horse had not had time to recover from
his hurried trip and the uncertainty of
the track combined in making &c i'm
possible for McHenry to hope for any
thing wonderful in the days exhibition, +
and the horsemen at the fair would
have considered the mile in 2:05 a re-
markable showing.
Dan Patch Appears.
1t was after o'clock when Nc
Henry drove Dan Patch out onto the
track. The great crowd in the grand
stands was dividing it's time between
the paddock gate and the exhibition of
Calvert, the tight rope performer. when
suddenly cheer went up from the far
end of the stands and then the cry,
Dan Patch!"
Necks were craned, and men and
women climbed onto their seats to see
the great horse as he moved like q
smooth-running machine down the
track and by the grand stands The
king appeared to know that the ova-
ton was intended for Dan Patch alone.

some what puzzled by President Castros last
note. He avoids specific acceptance OF the po"
ers' stipulations. and seemingly leaves the oasis

Presidents reply has really not advanced the
matter at all but it is confidently supposed ne

The State Department at Washington mas

done from this side until Mr.. Bowen reaches
Washington. 1t is hoped that a full agreement

to-day of being icebound for fifteen hours in the
Detroit River the transfer steamer Great
Western The train backed on the ferry
here about midnight last night about four hours
late, most Of the passengers being asleep at the
time. When they awoke this morning they were
out in the river in the midst of great field Of
ice. 1t was o'clock this afternoon when the
Great Western finally forced passage into a
slip on the Canadian side of the river and the
train was pulled off the boat.
About l o'clock. however. the ferry had been
near enough to the dock for some of the men
TO crawl across a ladder to land. There was
no dining car or buffet the train and the
passengers were a hungry lot Luncheon was
sent aboard for the women and children.
A westbcund train on the same road, which

morning for Chicago, did not arrive here until
after o'clock this afternoon. The train was

WANT BLOCKADE R4ISED
Cdstr'Os Demand SAID To Be Sup
ported by ItnM.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Advices received here
indicate that while Minister Bowen comes as
Venezuela's commissioner in negotiations look
ing to a settlement of the claims of the allies.
President Castro has made it condition that
the blockade shall be raised before Mr. Bowen
proceeds with the preparation of the protocol
for the peaceful adjustment of the claims More
over it now develops that in this request Nenez-
uela is likely have the support of Italy. The
United States, though not party to the nego-
tiations of course will throw the weight or It's
moral influence on the same side. The Italian
Government is influenced in its course by purely
economic considerations. 1t does not desire to
crush Venezuela but simply procure the re-
payment of claims The continuance of the
blockade, by sapping the very life of the coun-
try threatens to make it Impossible Tor ven
ezuela to pay the claims within any reasonable
period so that any judgment rendered against
her by private arrangement or by The Hague
tribunal would be hollow and almost without
results.
Furthermore it is held by Italy that there Is
really no sufficient reason for continuance OF
the blockade which is working great harm TO
trade as il already has had its full moral in
fuence on Castro and longer punishment would
serve no useful purpose in the Italian view
The Italian Government it is said, remains
thoroughly loyal to the alliance into which 1t
has entered with Germany and Great Britain,
but that fact 1t is held will not necessarily oper-
ate to prevent Italy from using her moral in
frence to have the alliance do what it regards
as right while still keeping within its lines.
