to the operations of irresponsible

so-called correspondence courses for

We are advised that these parties
claim to be agents of the State
Board of Education, and Assistant
State Superintendents, and repre-
cont that this Office has strongly
recommended their course of in
struction.
It is hardly necessary to say that
these statements are willful false
hoods, and that neither this Office
nor anyone having state authority
has Endorsed either them or their
wares. Agents selling special

ADDICKs WITRDRAwS.


Dover, Del, Feb. 6.-The sudden
announcement yesterday afternoon
that j. Edward Addicks had with
drawn from the candidacy for United
States senator, which he has urged
SO persistently since 1895, created an
immense sensation. The belief is gen
eral that the refusal of the United
States senate to confirm United
States District Attorney William M.
Byrne had the effect Of bringing
about Mr.. Addicks' withdrawal. The
union republicans choice for senator
in place of Addicks will probably be
Gov. HUM or Secretary Of State Lay
ton. State Senator Alice, the Adj
dicks leader, has repeatedly declared
that he would not accept the United
States senatorship.
Mr.. Addicks arrived here from Will
mington about one o'clock, going di-
rect to the capitol. He was ushered
into the parlor Of the state house,
where all of the 81 union republic
an members of the legislature were
assembled to meet him, together with
Secretary of State Layton and lnsur-
ance Commissioner Marshall. The
assemblymen received Mr.. Addicks
with cheers and he appeared deeply
moved by the heartiness of the greet
ing. Immediately after Mr.. Addicks

Washington, Feb. THE conferees
Of the senate and house on the de-
partment Of commerce bill APP
preached very near the point of
agreement on the bill yesterday, but
adjourned to meet to-day without en-
tirely finishing their work. They
were in session about three hours,
the greater part Of the time being
spent in an effort to adjust the diff
ferences on the question as to
whether the president should be
given power to transfer the inter
state commerce commission to the
proposed department as provided by
the house bill, When the meeting
began the trust provision of the bill
was taken up Immediately. No time
was lost in reaching an agreement
on that point. The differences were
adjusted by the acceptance of the
Nelson amendment with a portion
Of the house provision added. The
conferees then sought to come to an
understanding on the question Of
transferring the interstate commerce
commission TO the new department.
At first there appeared a strong prob
ability OF coming TO an immediate UNI
Outstanding on this point, as the
house conferees consented, without
making many objections, to the elm
lnation of the specific mention Of the
commission. The bill as passed by
the house authorizes the president Il
transfer to the proposed department
''the whole or any part OF any Office
bureau. division or other branch Of
the public service engaged in stats
teal OF scientific work or the inter
state commerce eommission."

strike out the words referring 70 the

NO AGREEMENT YET.
The Allied Powers Irritated by
the Note Of Minister Bowen.
QUESTION NAY co TO The HAGUE.


Washington, Feb. 6.--Irritated by
the note of Minister Bowen, Venez-
uela's representative, addressed to
the British ambassador on Monday
last, refusing to accept the allies
proposal for scheme of preferen-
tial payments by which Great Brit
ain, Germany and Italy were to re-
ceiye 20 per cent. and the remaining
eight creditor nations ten per cent.
Of the customs of La Guaira and
Porto Cabello, the allied powers have
instructed their representatives here
to submit the question of preferen-
tial treatment for settlement to
President Roosevelt and in the event
that he declines to act as arbiter
10 take this and possibly the entire
Venezuelan question to The Hague
tor settlement, thereby breaking Off
negotiations with Mr.. Bowen.
At ten o'clock to-day at the British
embassy there will be a conference
Of the representatives here OF the al
lies. In view OF the fact that the
London government Is now taking
the lead in the negotiations the Brit
lsh ambassador will preside at this
conference. In the meantime he ex-
poets to have an interview with the
secretary of state, whom he Will
sound as to the probability OF the
presidents acceptance Of the allies
request. If 1t is found that President
Roosevelt is not disposed to allow
himself to be dragged into the nego-
tiations, the instructions OF the allies
are such as to permit them to forego
the embarrassment Of rejection at
the hands of Mr.. Roosevelt, and, In
stead of making known their wishes
TO him, steps will be taken to draw
up protocol with Mr.. Bowen for
reference Of the case to The Hague,
as suggested by him in his note OF
last Monday. The British ambassa-
dor was the first Of the representa-
tives to receive instructions to this
effect and the matter was discussed
at the MONDAY conference between
the three representatives of the al
lies.
Announcement Of the decision OF
the allies to abandon further nego-
tiations with Mr.. Bowen has not been
received with surprise by the few Off
Gals Of the Washington government
who have been advised Of 1t.
"The Hague tribunal" said one Of
fetal Of the administration last night,
''has all along been kept in sight as
0 port of safety in case the negotia-
tions here were not productive OF q
final settlement. And as for the sug-
vestion that the president act as ar
bitter, that has been a favorite idea
of the allies since the beginning OF
the trouble"
Whether President Roosevelt will
accept this invitation Of the allies is
not known. An official Of the admin
istration expressed his surprise last
night that the allies were willing to
submit this question to the president
In view of the fact that their repre-
sentatives within the last few days
have informed them, by cable, that
the president views with disfavor the
contention OF the allies for preferen-
tial treatment. There is the best
authority for the statement that
neither Great Britain nor Germany
are DESTROYS Of submitting their case
to The Hague.
