The restoration host has been gath

division. on the ground that to recog-
rize the principle it embodies 1t would
be absolutely offensive to modern CIVIL
iZation.
In view of the fact that the negoti-
a.ors are agreed on all save the ques-
tion of preferential treatment, the am
bassador is informed that Venezuela
has decided to submit that question TO
The Hague arbitration tribunal.
The acceptance of this proposition
Venezuela contends. carries with 1t
raising of the blockade, the general
understanding being that the blockade
would end when the negotiators at
Washington had reached an agree
ment
1t is understood that in refusing this
last proposition submitted by the
British ambassador on behalf of the al
lies, Mr. Bowen takes the ground that
he cannot accept in principle the con-
tenticn that blockades and lombard
ment of forts and the consequent kill
ing of helpless men, women and chill
dren, entitle any power or alliance OF
powers to preferential treatment at. the
hands of civilized nation. 1t is
claimed that should the peace powers
and the blockading powers agree TO
such a principle. they would incorpor-

conflict with the tenets of all modern

Washington. Feb. 3.-Herbert w.
Bowen, Vene2uela's representative in
the negotiations at Washington for q
settlement of the claims against that
country, has sent through the British
ambassador here. what amounts prac-
tically to an ultimatum TO the allied
powers of Great Britain. Germany and
Italy, regarding their insistence for
preferential treatment in the settle
tnent Of their claims against Vene-
Zuela.
This note, which the British ambassa-
dor received shortly before 8 o'clock
last night, was cabled at once to Lon
don, copies of it being transmitted to
the Italian and German embassies for
transmission to Rome and Berlin. 1t
is in reply to the proposition submitted
at a joint conference of the negoti-
ators this afternoon by the British am
bassador, urging that the allied pow
ers be allowed two-thirds of thirty per
cent. of the custom receipts of the
ports of La Guayra and Porto Cabello,
and that the United States and the 9TH

Holland, Denmark. Spain and Norway
and Sweden, content themselves with
the remaining one-third of this per-
centage, that Is. 10 per cent Of the re-
receipts of these two ports.

COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AND DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL

An important bill introduced in the
House provides for submission of a
constitutional amendment which will
change the exemption law for the BEN
eft of the poorest class of taxpayers.
At present 5000 worth of household
goods is exempt. The proposed amend
ment will make $500 worth of personal
property of any kind exempt. The as
SCISSOR now Is required to assess me-
chanics' tools or the COW of a poor Wild
ow, even though the owner cf the tools
or of the COW may have far less than
5000 worth of household goods. The
furniture of a laboring mans home
may be worth only $50 or 800, yet he
must pay taxes on the tools with which
he labors, while the richer man with
more than $500 worth of household
goods gets the benefit of exemption to
that amount. The proposed change
would make comparatively little differ
ence in the revenues collected, yet
would, its authors believe, be boon
to those in poor circumstances.
