FOR REFERENCE TO THE HAGUE.
Third Set of Venezuelan Protocols Unde,
Consideration.

Washington. Feb. 1S-In diplomatic circles
and among State Department officials consider
able attention is being paid to the provisions og
the third set of Venezuelan protocols which will
have to do exclusively with setting in motion
the machinery of The Hague Tribunal These
protocols. in addition to defining the scope OF
the arbitration. will stipulate the number of
arbitrators to be selected. In order that Venez-
U-la may go to The Hague on the same footing
as the peace powers having claims against her
it is expected that the rough draft of The
Hague protocols will be decided upon at a
joint conference of the representatives here Of
the powers Secretary Hay will represent the
United States and will preside. This meeting
will not be called until all the second protocols
have been signed.

RUUORS DISCREDITED.
Germany Not Likely TO Proceed
against Colombia and Brazil
IBr TELEGRAPH To The rR1BUxEI

IBT TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNEI
Washington. Feb 1S-Reports that Germany
is planning to adopt methods of collecting debts
in Brazil and Colombia similar to those EN-
ployed against Venezuela find little credence at
the State Department. where the impression
obtains that both in the matter Of expense and
difficulty. the German Government had received
safety Of blockading in the last affair. At the
Colombian Legation to-dav DR.. Tomas HerraH.
the charge d'affaires. declared that Germany had
no claims against Colombia which had reached
a diplomatic stage. He explained that it was
probable that claims growing out of the last
revolution would be presented. but these. he af-
hrmed, had never been presented.
In considering the reported intention of the
Germans it is interesting to recall the results
secured by Italy in similar venture Fourteen
station ships of war sent to the Colombian
port of Cartagena few years ago in an effort
to collect certain claims The result Of this lit
tie demonstration that the Italian trade
with Colombia ruined Manchester manu-
factures supplanted those of Milan the Italian
diplomatic representatives in Colombia wer~
sent home. and there has been a complete lapse
of diplomatic relations and a substantial ab-
sence of commercial relations from that time to
tie present day. Germany at present has 4
considerable Colombian trade although the bulk
of the commerce is in British hands This trads
is carefully fostered and is in the main OBJ
tanned at the expense of the French trade When
Italy adopted warlike methods the Colombian
merchants banded together and formed a boy
colt, which effectuaIy diminished Italian trade.
Similar bOycotts have already been announced
m Venezuela, and the impression is that the
commercial interests in Germany would Oppose
bid.

She y4Ias been faithful to that love for sev- enty years, and she attributes her lon gevity mainly to that fact, though she mentions that she has had an aversion to doctors, never having had one called in since her debut.
 There are some objections to adopting this way of living long. Lifelong fidel- ity to a dead lover wouldn't harmonize with President Roosevelt's ideas about race suicide, and lifelong aversion to and avoidance of doctors might not be altogether wise. But as there are few who will feel like testing the New Jer- sey spinster's theories perhaps they will not make any great disturbance.

 Other persons have country houses
 With gardens more costly and more ann
 bilious than that over which reigns Marion Harland. What differentiates hers from so many others is that it is. in very truth. a souvenir garden. A
 walk with her among the plots and bor-
 ders IS not like a stroll among most
 flower beds. So many of the plants
 have their stories that, if one would
 learn even fair share of.their farmer
 habitations and the circumstances un-
 der which they were acquired, the hs- tener and narrator must adjourn to the
 veranda and finish the account where they can sit in comfort and gaze at the lovely lake and mountain view spread out before them.
 If one began with the very beginning of the souvenir growths, the history would lead off with the giant wistaria which drapes the Yeranda and the whole front of the house with violet mist in
 blossom time, and with green curtain during the rest of the summer. For this vine came from the old plantation down in Virginia, and was brought
 here andset out by Marion Harland's
 mother. When she planted it, it knew better than not grow. her daugher will tell you. The beautiful tree vista ria on the front lawn is of he same planting. One of tlfe dearest ornaments of the place, cedar tree that stood di- rectly opposite the house and was a cone of vivid green in summer and of living flame in autumn from the Virgin ia creeper set out by the same hands as the wistaria, fell a v;ctim to a hard
 blow 9 year or so ago. The stricken strunk was raised and restored to place,
 and other vines are now striving to coy- CT it. But the old creeper that was once it's glory is gone. .s..... All the vines that climb over the house have their stories. The honey
 suckles have one, the clematis has an- other, the American ivies possess a third. The last named came from roots from Springfield, Mass, where Dr., and
 Mrs. Terhune lived for some years.
 The parent vines grew on the house of the late Samuel Bowles of sprinffield Republican fame, and were playfully
 named for different members of the Bowles family. Their growth was so vigorous, their blending so harmonious that long ago their identity was lost, and all are now known simply as the "Bowles vines. ."-Christine Terhune Herrick in the Delineator.

SOME RIGHTS.

When a coneiiation board, appointed to consider certain differences between
 mine owners and mine employees in the State of Pennsylvania, could not agree on sundry quest ions it was determined to refer the latter to an umpire. For that office the conciliation board select ed MT. Carroll D. Wright. MT. Wright has made his report, and in it he says:
 Taking the rulings of the court, the as- sertion of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission, the clauses in the agree ment made by and with the United
 Mine Workers of America and the ad- missions of the different members of
 the Board of Consolidation, whether on
 the one side or the other, there can be no doubt that man has right to quit the service of his employer whenever he sees fit, with or without giving any
 cause, provided he gives proper notice. and that the employer has a perfect
 right to employ and discharge men in
 accordance with the conditions of his industry; that he is not obliged to give
 any cause for discharge, but that he should, as in the reverse case, give

 There is trouble enough in Bangor, Maine. The Supreme court of the State, sitting at, Bangor, has lately sentenced three rumsellers to six months in jail at hard labor and to pay fines of $500 each besides. This has made a terrible connrnotion, because no less than 194 in dictments for the same crime were re- turned by the grand jury. Judge Pea- body, in passing sentence, said he did not understand that the prohibitory law applied any less to Penobscot county than to other counties; that he under stood very well the original plan, by which Bangor dealers had been im- mune so long, but he would not be a party to the continuance of such a plan.
