 WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Herbert w Bowen, Venezuela's representative in the peace negotiations at Washing ton, has signed with each of the allies representatives here a protocol provid ing for the immediate raising of the Venezuelan blockade and for the ref erence of the question of preferential treatment of the claims of the allies against Venezuela to The Hague arbi- tration tribunal.
 The final formaIities occurred at the British embassy at 11:30 o'clock last night.
 The British protocol was in English, the Italian in Italian and German and the German in German and English. England and Italy will receive in cash $27 ,5OO each. Germany will get $340, GOO.
 Venezuela will be relieved of the blockade, which has produced very stringent conditions in all Venezuelan towns and has been excessively hard on the poorer classes.
 Mir. Bowen signed in duplicate for Venezuela, Sir Michael Herbert for Great Britain, Signor Mayor des Ranches for Italy and Baron Speck von Sternburg for Germany. Immedi- ately on the signing of the last protocol cables were dispatched to London, Ber lin and Rome announcing the fact. It is expected that the, commanders of the blockading fleet within the next twen- ty-four hours will receive their orders to withdraw their vessels at once. By the provisions of the preliminary protocols, which have required more than three weeks of constant negotia- tions, Venezuela makes two distinct gains, the immediate raising of block ade from which she has been suffering for some weeks and the return of all her vessels, war and merchant, which have been captured by the allied fleet.
 It is stipulated by the protocols that the claims of the creditor nations shall be adjudicated by joint commissions to Ian, a representative of the claimant power, and in case of a disagreement an umpire to be named by the presi- dent of the United States.
 By an invitation to Baron Speck von Sternburg, the German minister, to dine at the White House President Roosevelt unwittingly held up the set tleInent of the Venezuelan controversy for several hours.

dent rage At q distance in the field she saw the bull paving beside her husband and trying todrive the stumps of it's horns into his chest. There was no help within hail. Her children, who witnessed the battle, crying and screaming, were too small to be of any assistance.
 She sent them to the nearest neigh bor's and, seizing pitchfork, ran to the bull. She attacked him in the flank, driving the prongs of the fork fully four inches into his flesh. Still he continued to grind his victim with the broken horn. Mrs. Fuller grew < desperate. She walked around to the animals head and with strength born of desperation she again and again drove the sharp tines into tle bulls hide, the prongs sinking from four to five inches at nearly every drive. Finally the maddened bull drew off and stood at bay. Mrs. Fuller sprang in front of her husband, who lay limp and still.
 Nerved for the contest, she stood there and, with her weapon poised, checked the rushes and vicious attacks of the bull until assistance came half an honr later. As the bull circled around her looking for chance to rush in, she, too. walked about her hus- band, ever keeping his body behind her and her face and weapon to the bull. She was standing thus when the men summoned by her children arrived and drove the bull away.
 Mir. Fuller was removed to the house, badly bruised and torn about the head and shoulders and with several riF broken. He is in a critical condition

Chicago Police Ordered to Close
 Fraudulent Concerns.
 CHICAGO, Feb. IA Three turf in vestment company offices were raided here yesterday afternoon by detectives and a number of attaches arrested. The head of a fourth concern, warned of the proposed movement, made bis es- cape before the detectives arrived. The different firms visited by. the police were: The, H. Brolaski company, 36G Dearborn street; Benedict. & Co, room I03, 225 Dearborn street; the Midconti- nent Investment company, 1S5 Dear born street, and A. ]. Dernorest & Co.,. on the eighth floor of the Temple Court building, Dearborn and Quincy streets.
 When the detectives reached the Demorest place, the president of the company, A. J. Demorest, could not be found, and there was number of pa irons in front of the locked doors clam bring for payment.
 The raids followed general police order to close all fraudulent turf ex- changes in Chicago. Three squads of detectives started out simultaneously to round up the alleged offenders.
 There are numerous other turf in- yestment' establishments in Chicago, and further raids by the police proba- bly, will be made. The circulars seized in the offices raided reveal, it is said, several ingenious new schemes. Let ters from men, women and boys in nearly every town throughout the mid dle west were found, with hundreds of communications from Chicagoans.
 Although no definite estimate of the amount lost to investors can be made at present, it is said the total will run into hundreds of thousands.
