CAsTRo's CONDITION.
Blockade Must Be Raised Before Ne
gotiations Proceed.

AdviceS received here indicate that while
Minister Bowen comes as Venezuela's COM
missioner in negotiations looking to set
tlement of the claims of the allies President
Castro has made it a condition that the
blockade shall be raised before Mr. Bowen
proceeds with the preparati ton of the proto-
col for the peaceful adjustment of the
claims Moreover. it now develops that in
this request Venezuela is likely to have the
support of Italy. The United States, though
not party to the negotiations, of course
will throw the weight of it's moral influence
on the same side.
The Italian government is Influenced in
its course by purely economic considera-
tons. 1t does not desire to crush Vene-
zuela, but simply to procure the repayment
of claims. The continuance of the block
ade by Sapplng the very life of the country
threatens to make 1t impossible for Vene-
zuela to pay these claims within any reas-
enable period of time, so that any judg-
ment rendered against her by private ar
rangement or by The Hague tribunal would
be hollow and almost without results Fur
thermore it is held by Italy that there is
really no sufficient reason for a continuance
OF the blockade. WHICH is working great
harm to trade as it already has had it's full
moral influence on Castro and longer pun
lsnment would serve no useful purpose in
the Italian view. The Italian government
1t Is stated. remains thoroughly loyal to
the alliance into which it has entered with
Germany and Great Britain but that fact
IL Is heid, Will not operate necessarily to
prevent Italy from using her moral influ
CARDS as right, while still keeping within
it's lines.

INCREASED FREIGHT RATES.
Railways File Answers, Giving Rea-
sons for Action

The Norfolk and Western, Michigan Gen.
trail. Baltimore and Ohio and the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern RAILWAYS have
filed with the interstate commerce commits
sion their answers to the request of the
commission for statement of reasons for
the increase in freight rates on grain, pack
1ng-house products, dressed meats and
other articles on the trunk line roads.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad cites The
large increases in taxation and says that
an aggregate of almost $4,000, 900 is in
VOWED in needed additions to the eouip-
ment.
The Michigan Central says its reasons are
the great increase in the cost of maintain
ing and operating its road, consequent on
the increase in the wages of it's EMPLOYEES
ALREADY made and additional increases
Which 1t Is likely to be compelled to make
IN the near future, and the increase in the
cost OF materials and large increase in
taxes The road says that during the wear
ending June 80, 1902, approximately s596 :
oO0 was paid for rebates and other commits
slons allowed from the published rates.
The Norfolk and Western SAYS it's enor-
nous traffic has taxed the resources of the
company to the tmost. and equipment addi-
tons are needed. Material advances in
wages of employees have been made and
other advances are in contemplation in the
near future The increases in freight tar
III. according to this answer, are necessi-
tated by the advanced price of material
and the partly advanced price of labor, and
a steady increase of about $15O.OOO per an
mum in taxes. The demands of the public
are stated to be increasing and the only
thing that the company has to sell is trans
portatlon. The price of transport tion the
road says. must be sufficient for the ade-
quate and proper management and conser-
Walton of the property.

along similar lines

REcoNsIDERED THE BILL.
House Committee to Act Further Q
Question Of Judges Salaries.

On representation made yesterday be-
fore the. House committee on judiciary by
a delegation representing the District Bar
Association the favorable report ordered
made last Friday on the Senate bill increas-
ing the salaries of certain judges was re-
considered and the matter referred again to
the subcommittee, with instructions to re-
port to the full committee next Friday.
The objection to the bill as it came from
the House committee was that it eliminat-
ed the increase for the local judges as pro-
vided in the Senate bill. The argument be-
fore the committee was made by Attorneys
George Hamilton and c. c. Cole. With
them as representatives of the Bar Asso-
citation were Attorneys A. s. Worthington,
A. B. Duvall, r. Ross Perry and Nathaniel
Wilson. Commissioner mcfarland was
also present
The matter was again referred to the
subcommittee, consisting of Representatives
Warner, Powers of Massachusetts and
Smith of Kentucky, in order that certain
statements regarding the amount of bust
ness done before the District courts, which
is to be submitted by the Bar Association,
might be given consideration.
The Senate bill increased the salary of
the chief justice to Sc, $50 and those of the
associate justices to s6,250. The Senate bill
raises the salary Of the chief justice of
the Court of Claims to Sc, 125 and those of
the associate justices to $5,625. The chief
justice of the Court Of Appeals is given in
the Senate bill 5000 and the associate
justices of the same court, $500.

throughout the state. Comparisons similar
to those made in respect to Nebraska may
be made concerning Kansas, the Dakotas
and practically all of the states which have
arid or semi-arid territory within their
boundaries. The officials of the Department
of Agriculture are confident that there is
great wealth in the undeveloped resources
Of the semi-arid territory in western states,
ard l believe they are willing to lend as
sistance to any practical movement that
will be started by the state.
THE location of an experimental farm in
the central western part of Nebraska will be
matter Of more than ordinary benefit to
the west Experiments can there be con-
Quoted with irrigation and without. While
my proposition is for Nebraska to provide
for the farm, yet after it is established the
government will send experts there to aid in
experimenting with the various cereals.
grasses and plants, which are best adapted
to an arid or semi-arid region. The Agri-
cultural Department, as is well-knOwn, has
a large corps of assistants in all parts of the
world seeking for plants which are adapted
to the conditions existing in the territory
which have mentioned, and a farm such
as have proposed would naturally receive
the benefit of the investigation Of our sci
entists In other lands. l do not believe that
there is any legislation that would be more
important or more beneficial to the western
territory which has to contend with adverse
conditions in agriculture than the establish
ing or an experimental farm as suggested
The experiments conducted in the central
western part of Nebraska would apply
equally well to lands situated under similar
conditions In other parts Of the country"
The Department of Agriculture has asked
Congress for an increased appropriation,
and 1t Is understood that the increase is
desired for experimentation in the arid and
semi-arid regions, principally for the de-
Velopment of forestry in that section.

AUTHORITY TO OPEN STREET.
Commissioners Doubtful of Right to
Pass Through School Lot.

The Commissioners have asked the cor
poration counsel for an opinion as to their
authority to open Goth street northeast
through a school lot owned by the District
near the junction of the Queens Chapel
and Brentwood roads. The matter was
brought to the attention of the Commission
ers some time ago by the surveyor, who
forwarded a letter from E. F. c. Hazel
relative to the subdivision of the adjoining
land into lots to be known as Fort Sara
toga." The surveyor said that the lot
owned by the District lay in the line Of
Goth street, and that if the land was to be
permanently retained for school purposes
1t would stop the extension of the street at
that point. The surveyor suggested that
inasmuch as the municipality required
property owners to give up their holdings
in the opening of streets without reference
to private right, the District should not
stand in the way OF such extension when
desired by the resident property owners.
The lot was bought in 1869 by the county
of Washington school board with the in
tention of erecting a primary school house
on it. Title passed to the District Commits
sioners in the legislation of 1878, and mas
remained there since. The adoption OF the
highway extension plans left the lot in the
line of Goth street.

LIMITATION ON PASSES.
Northern Pacific Cuts Down Privileges
to Legislators.

to Legislators.
dispatch from st. Paul, Mimi, yester-
day says: Legislators of this and adjoining
states have made more or less complaint
because Of the limitation by the Northern
Pacific Railway Company Of their pass
privileges. Some of the legislators have re-
fused to accept passes limited to the length
Of the session, and demand that they be
made good for the calendar year.
President c.. s. Mellin Of the Northern
Pacific made a statement to the Associated
Press today, in which he says:
For several years it has been customary
to issue passes good in their several states
to members-elect of the various legislatures
Such passes were a courtesy, not obligatory
in any sense. and were issued without re-
gard to the politics of the recipients
Sometimes in previous years such passes
have been loaned without consideration,
or for cash equivalent; members have
used such passes to the capital the first
week, and left them with ticket brokers for
sale for short trips, receiving them back in
season for their return trips home at the
end of the week. At the end of the session
the passes have been sold outright by those
who had no further use for them, and we
have taken them up in the hands of i'm
proper persons on the trains
For these reasons we have limited the
passes to the length Of the session, thus
hoping to shorten the abuse of the privi-
leges granted. To such as make proper
use of their passes we will extend them
to the end of the year"

TO RECLAIM WASTES
AN EXPERIMENTAL FARM IN
NEBRASKA PROPOSED.
Scientific Investigation to Be Conduct
ed With the View Of Developing
Arid and Semi-Arid Lands.

d. Senator Charles II. Dietrich, the senior
senator from Nebraska, is making deter
mined effort, both with the Department Of
Agriculture here and the legislature of his
home state, for the establishment of an
experimental farm in western Nebraska,
the purpose Of which will be to conduct
scientific investigation along all lines of
agricultural work for the development of
the vast arid and semi-arid territory of the
west. This matter is regarded as of excep-
tional importance, not only to Senator Diet
richs own state, but also to etlser states in
the west whose agricultural Development is
greatly retarded because of lack Of rainfall
and arid conditions II Z
While it is proposed to establish the ex-
perimental farm within the state of Nebras-
ka, yet the experiment station will not be
confined to the conditions in that state, but
It is hoped that results may be obtained for
general benefit to states in which similar
conditions of climate prevail
1t is stated that Senator Dietrich has the
assurance that the Department of Agricul-
ture will give assistance to the project and
at his suggestion Governor Mickey of Ne
braska Is now urging the members of the
legislature OF that state now in session, to
make an appropriation SUFFICIENT for the
purchase of a suitable tract of land for the
purposes Of the experimental farm The
senator is desirous that Nebraska shall take
the initiative in the development of the re-
sources of the so-called desertr territory of
the United States
In speaking of the project to a reporter
for The Star Senator Dietrich raid:
1T has already been shown, BY govern
ment experiments that certain kinds of
trees can be grown successfully in the
semi-arid section, and the gpvernment has
provided for the creation 0fstss forest re-
serves in Nebraska for the. purpose of
further development along lineS of forestry
there.
1T may be said of the statesof Nsasraska
that one-third is humid. anothGf thiTil arid.
and the remainder semi-arii. . that there
are three conditions presentedEupon, which
experimentation may be CONDUCTED s IN this
regard Nebraska Is unlike eastern states,
wherein practically all the Ja1d iss.of the
same character. so that tAe~expeEiments
carried on In one section are of equal value
