On account of the complications
which arise from the holding in abey-

long been doubt regarding the validity
of the law. An instance of the trouble
which may be caused was shown in the,
case brought by William Johnson, of
Topeka, against the executors of his
divorced wife's estate. Johnson's wife
secured a divorce. She died the night
before the Judgment of divorce obe-
came absolute. Johnson sued to re-

LEVEES MAY BREAK.
Flood Situation Along Mississippi
Very Serious.

Memphis, .darch l6.-The food stu
ton between charlottesville, Mo-, and
Baton Rouge, La, is serious. The river
is rising rapidly and it is doubtful
whether the levees will hold. The

the highest water ever recorded here.
At Ensley, six miles below here, 500
feet of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
railroad tracks are inundated, and the
railroad has suspended operations. A
dangerous place in the leeve is reported
from Hollybush, twenty miles north of
here, where the water is running over
the levee for distance of 900 feet.
Men and material are being sent there
and strong fight is being made to hold
the embankment. Refugees and hun
dreds of horses and mules continue to
arrive on every train.

AVOID THE HAGUE
ALLIED POWERS SAID TO BE
DODGING.
Would Rather Make a Compromise
Direct With Castro Than Have
Evidence Go Before Arbitration
COurt.--BOWen Advises Castro
Not to Accept Any Offers.

Washington, March l7.-Minister
Bowen, accompanied by Senior Augusta
Pulido, the Venezuelan charge DAT
flares, called at the Italian, British and
German embassies to inquire regarding
the negotiations of the Hague protocol.
Several weeks ago Mr. Bowen drew a
rough draft OF this convention, provid-
ing for the reference of the prveferen-
tial question to the Hague and stipu.
lating that the Gar of Russia select
the members Of the court. Copies of
this protocol, first approved by the
state department, were left with the
Italian ambassadors and the German
minister and by them mailed to their
respective foreign offices.
Since then Mr.. Bowen has received
no reply from the allied powers.
Herbert Deering, first secretary Of
the British embassy, who, during the
absence of the ambassador in New
York, is in charge. informed Mr.. Bow
en- that the British answer had been
sent from London by special bag and
will arrive here next Thursday. 1t is
believed that the main features of the
agreement as drawn by Mr.. Bowen
have been approved.
Baron Sternberg, the German minis
ter, informed Mr.. Bowen that he had
received no INSTRUCTIONS from his gov
eminent respecting the protocol.
This statement caused Mr.. Bowen
to refer to rumors that the delay in
the allies answer was due to a de-
sire to avoid reference to the Hague
by proposing compromise to Presi-
dent Castro. The German minister
replied that he had no intimation of
such an intention. Mr.. Bowen in
formed the German misnister that he
had cabled President Castro against
accepting any compromise that would
keep the matter from the Hague, and
that he is preparing to reinforce the
cablegram by sending Senior Pulido to
Caracas, if necessary, to block COM
promise proposition.
The Italian ambassador said he knew
nothing of Italy's intention except that
she would follow Great Britain's lead.
Later it was learned that the three
powers had corresponded as to the
course they should adopt jointly with
reference to Mr.. Bowen's protocol.

WILL MAKE DEMAND
European Countries Ask Concessions
Similar to Cuba's.

Berlin, March l6.-Germany, as
soon as the reciprocity treaty between
Cuba and the United States is ratified,
will ask both the Cuban and the Uni
ted States governments for identical
privileges. 1t is also intimated that
other governments intend to request
the came treatment. While annoyed
at the prospect of the United States
trades having lower tariffs in the Cuba
than that of Germany, no one supposes
that even q collective protest on the
part OF the continental countries would
cause either the United States or Cuba
to recede. But Germanys position is
to be defined clearly, SO that the Uni.
ted States may not complain when Ger.
many gives other nations preference in
trade treatment. The principle which
the Germans lay down in entering upon
correspondence concerning commercial
treaties is "give and take" The most
favored nation theory is really aban-
doned. Special conventions are to be
drawn up to fit the different situations.
This principle seems to be accepted by
Russia, Austria and Italy, and the
trade policies are to rest upon the reci-
procity idea. What is the subject OF
more concern here is that should the
Cuban treaty be accepted and found to
work we'll similar treaties may be ar
ranged by the United States with Mex.
leo. Brazil, and Argentina, ultimately
resulting in the United States obtain
ing monopoly OF all South and Cen
trail American markets.
