WITHHELD NOTES
ANSWERS TO BOWEN'S PROPOS-
AIS KEPT BACK.
Ministers at Washington Knew Sc.
riOus Consequences Would Re-
suit If They Were Presented.
Latest Advices Were Favorable
to Compromise Proposal.

Washington, Feb. lit developed
yesterday that the answers of the al
lied powers to Minister Bowen's latest
proposal arrived here Friday, but were
not Immediately presented. The an.
swers were to the effect that the allies
could not consent that the United States
and other claimant nations receive the
same treatment as the blockading pow
ers and that they therefore rejected in
toto Mr.. Bowen's final proposition.
Knowing the consequences that were
to follow the presentation of this an
swer, the representatives took upon
themselves the responsibility of with
holding the notes of their governments
and of again cabling. urging retrac.
ton of their preferential demands. The
exchanges are still in progress between
the Italian, British and German en-
bassies, but there is no evidence up to
this time that the allies intend yield
ing. If they hold out, their represen-
tatives must present the joint refusal,
and the Washington negotiations will
come to standstill.
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, Ger
many's new minister has now arrived
and has taken charge of the Geman end
of the Venezuelan negotiations.

Ja'Oan's Musical Insects.

More than 5000 persons in Japan
make good living by breeding. train
ing and selling what are known as
singing insects" Like crickets. these
insects are. and their Japanese names
are kusa- hibari and suZu-mushi.
The music which they make resem-
bles that of silver bell and. though
rather monOtonOus. is very clear and
sweet. The Japanese keep insects in
tiny bamboo cages. and take quite as
good care of them as Americans take
of canaries or other pet birds. Some
Of them prefer the music which is
made by certain species Of frog.
known as kajika, and they are always
ready to pay a high price for frogs
which are well bred and we'll trained.
These they can generally obtain, for
several persons pass their entire time
breeding and training frogs and in
sects. which they offer for sale every
wear at fairs held during June in Toxic
and other large cities.

At the White House.

Thanks to the lavishness Of former
Presidents and the durability Of silver,
there is no scarcity Of silverware for
table use at the White House. There are
nearly a thousand forks Of solid silver
and three hundred plated ones Of Ill
sizes and kinds, an assortment of over
three hundred and fifty knives, and
more than seven hundred solid silver
spoons aud three hundred plated ones.
There Is an abundance of odd silver in
soup tureens. butter dishes. platters.
plates. pitchers, teap0ts. coffeepots,
candle-snuffers. napkin rings. peppers
and salts. sauceboats, and in fact ev-
erything most useful to the most freak
ish ware imaginable.
There is in addition to this silver
ship, representing the Mayfiower, and
silver-bound mirror for 1t to stand
upon. both of which were bought at the
philadelphia Centennial Of 1876. and a
huge plateau of French tilt and plate
glass used at state dinners, when thir.
ty-six beautiful French gilt figures are
used with it.

COMPROMISE OFFERED.
Allies May See a Way to Accept
Latest Proposition.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Propositions
involving a compromise OF the conten-
ton of the allied powers for preferen-
tial treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela have been
submitted to the governments of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy by their
representatives at Washington, and
while no answers have yet been re-
ceived. thu re is reason for the belief
that the allies will see way to accept
the latest proposition. This compro-
mise has been suggested by one of the
representatives of the allies here, and
while it has not formally received the
endorsement of Minister Bowen, it is
felt that he will not enter serious objec-
ton to it's adoption, provided the Uni
ted States and the other claimant ma
tons outside the alliance can be con-
WINGED that their own interests in Ven
ezuela will not be substantially injured
by yielding to plan whi:h seems to
offer solution to the present serious
hitch. The plan suggested, it is said,
provides that for short period, per.
haps six months or year, Great Brit
ain, Germany and Italy, shall receive
exclusively 80 per cent of the customs
receipts of the ports of Puerto Cabello
and La Guayra, and that at the end OF
that period, the exact length of which
is still open to decision, all the claim
ant nations be placed upon the same
footing, sharing equally in the divi-
sions OF the customs receipts in ratio
based upon the amount of each nations
claim.
The plan is regarded az a compro-
mise which will enable the allies to
withdraw their ships from Venezuelan
waters without serious loss of prestige

citizens the statement of the beef
packers did not influence him sutli-
GENTLY to induce him to keep his hands

Washington that the matter might be

WANTS ACTION TAKEN.
Government in Earnest About Meas

Government IN Earnest ABOUT Meas.
ure for ver.Using Countries
Washington, Feb. 2.-The executive
branch Of the government is not dis
posed to cease its efforts to bring about
an adj ,stment of rates OF gold and sill
yer currency in the Orient and in other
silver using countries, with the mere
presentation to congress of the Next
can and Chinese notes on Thursday.
Secretary Root, who is opposed to the
amendment of the senate currency bill,
is particularly urgent in seeking to
remedy the evils of financial conditions
in the Philippines caused by tluctuat-
ing currency ratios, while Secretary
Hay is interested in the proposition be-
cause it promises to at once alleviate
the friction now existing AZ a result Of
the Chinese indemnity question. The
secretary j. also looking into the future,
toward the enlargement of American
trade in South and Central America,
where silver is still the standard { (
value. Therefore the proposition will
be laid before congress to appoint a
commission OF three members, m-n ex-
pert in financial matters, to-act as rep
resentatives OF the United States in an
international monetary conference. on
The lines indicated by Mexico and
China, or in consultation indirectly, or
IN fact on any line of international ex-
change that promises success.
Very little legislation is required at
this stage. and it is probable that an
appropriation OF IS 900 for the expenses
of each commissioner will meet the
needs of the state department at this
time.
1t is made plain that the commission
will have NO power to commit the Uni
ted States government to any change in
its currency system. Its conclusions
will be adopted referendum, and moth
ing can I've made of them unless congress
regards them with favor.
The Mexican ambassador called at
the state department and extended to
Secretary Hay, and through him to the
president, his warmest thanks for the
able manner in which the communities
tions of Mexico and China had been
presented to congress.
