Senator Nelson's View.
GEN, HAYES RETIRED.
Ends an Active Career Of Forty-Eight
Years in the Army.

Brig Gen. Edward NJ. Hayes. recently
promoted from colonel of the 18th Cavalry,
was placed on the retired list today on his
own application, after forty-eight years
service in the army.
The vacancy thus created will probably
be filed by the promotion and retirement
of Col Joseph P. Farley of the ordnance
service since his appointment to the Mill
tary Academy as cadet in 1857. He Is
another civil war veteran and is now in
command of the Watervliet arsenal where
he had personal charge of the monster six
teen-inch gun.
The next officer to be promoted n brig
adler general and retired will be Col. Nor
ris c. Foote of the 2Sth Infantry, who has
had long and active military service, be-
ginning as a private in Company c, 44th
New York Infantry, in 1861. At the close
of the civil war he was made a second
lieutenant of the 9th Infantry, and he re-
manned with that regiment until last April,
when transferred to the 1st Infantry as q
lieutenant colonel, and within few days
thereafter was promoted to colonel and
transferred to the 2Sth Infantry.
Col. Foote will be succeeded upon re-
Cavalry, who will receive the permanent
promotion as brigadier general and be
given command Of department in the
Philippines. Col. Moore is also veteran
Of the rebellion, and saw service as pri-
vate and sergeant in the 1st Colorado Cav
airy from 1861 to 1868. He entered the reg
ular army in 1866 as a second lieutenant,
and passing through the minor grades,
reached the rank of colonel in 1901.

COL. BINGHAM CONGRATULATED
Electric System of Calling Carriag ages
Works Well.

Colonel Bingham, the engineer officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds has
been generally congratulated upon the i'm
proved electric system of calling carriages
adopted at the White House and EMPLOYED
for the first time successfully at the iu-
dietary reception last Thursday The system
Is simple. To each carriage as it comes
up to the entrance Is given a check, which
tears in two like a ticket. The driver
keeps one-half, containing his number, and
the other half is retained by the occupants
Of the carriage. This half looks like a
piece of the roll Of piano player, for it is
full OF holes with no apparent significance
1t is made of stiff cardboard. When the
guests leave the mansion and want their
carriage the attendant takes the bit of per
forated cardboard, thrusts 1t into a little
box at prominent point of the porte-co-
chere and pulls a lever. The connections of
all the figures on the sign drop down ON
the card, but only those for which holes
have been provided in the card can fan
through and make a circuit. Thus the
number of the card is lighted on the sign
above. The driver sees then his number on
the sign, and up he comes, without fuss or
noise.
The sign is easily distinguished for nearly
a quarter of mile, and the system worked
beautifully Thursday night. 1t was vast

ance of the blockade by all three allies,
Great Britain, Germany and Italy.
Crisis Probably Passed.


Crisis Probably Passed.
Later in the day 1t developed that ac-
cording to the best advices reaching here,
and these come from official sources, Eng
land had surely accepted as satisfactory
the basis Of settlement proposed by Mr.
Bowen, and that whatever delay there is
in an unconditional acceptance is attrib-
utable to Germany. But the advices also
indicate that the German attitude Is not
now uncompromising, and, in fact, It Is
stated in high quarters that the crisis Is
probably passed, and that the allies VIII
all three accept Mr.. BOwen's proposition
as a basis of settlement, with some m0dih-
cations suggested by themselves, which he
in turn is willing to make. OF course, It IL
understood that this broad statement ap-
plies to the acceptance Of the principle Of
adjustment, and that several important
questions Of detail will still remain to be
adjusted, which may cause prolonged nego-
tiations. but the discussion of which will
not retard the lifting Of the blockade after
an agreement on the question Of principle
The lifting of the blockade would not
mean the complete withdrawal from Amer
lean waters Of the allied fleet, and 1t Is un-
derstood that not only will the British
American fleet remain in its accustomed
winter quarters in the Caribbean, but the
German government will depart from its
ancient naval policy, which has been to
get along without station fleets and will
continue the present squadron In American
waters as permanent fleet

MONT PELEE IN ERUPTION.
Excitement Among Party Of Excur-

CASTRIES, Island of st. Lucia, B. w. l..
January 26.-The Royal Mail steamer Esk
took over 400 excursonists to st. Pierre
Island of Martinique, Saturday and re-
turned here today. She reports that while
at st. Pierre at 5 o'clock in the afternoon
Mont Pelee erupted. AT the time there were
more than 200 persons ashore, and great
alarm was felt for their safety. Volunteers
from the passengers who had remained on
board assisted the crews of the ships boats
in fastening to the rescue.
After forty minutes of excitement all the
passengers were brought back safely to the
ship. Apparently about 500 feet Of the cone
of the volcano has been blown away. Dense
clouds of smoke passed three-quarters Of a

SATISFACTORY TO THE ALLIES
Representations Made by Minister
Bowen on Behalf Of Venezuela.

Bowen on Behalf Of Venezuela.
LONDON, January 26.-It was learned to-
day by a representative of the Associated
Press that Great Britain and Germany have
informed their representatives at Washing
ton that they consider Minister Bowens
proposals regarding Venezuelas guarantees
to form satisfactory basis for further ne
gotiations.
In addition to the offer Of part of the Gus
toms of La Guaira and Porto Cabello as a
guarantee Mr.. Bowen informed the powers
that several New York banks had expressed
their willingness to undertake the payment
Of the first claims demanded by the powers
upon the basis of such guarantee. Mr..
Bowen did not say whether he had made a
definite arrangement with any particular
bands. but as soon as the powers hear OF
the consent of reliable houses to guarantee
the payment of the first claims the block
ade will be raised. This is expected to be
within two or three days. In the event Of
this arrangement being concluded it Is sup
posed that the customs Of the two ports
mentioned will be administered Jointly by
Of the powers and of the
banks concerned. At the German embassy
here it was said there was no reason what
ever for a continuance of the blockade
"once the powers are satisfied that the
guarantee is not merely offered with the
object of getting rid Of them"
It is understood here that the banks re-
ferred to by Mr.. Bowen are ]. w. Selig-
man & Co. and ]. P. Morgan & Co.
