Washington, Jan. 6.-At meeting to-
day of the national board of managers
Of the Daughters of the American Rev

GREAT BRITAIN PROTESTS.
Says Passage of Durdaneiles by Russian
1ynrshIps Violates Treaties.

Constantinople, Jan. 6. - Great Brit
ain has vigorously protested to the
Turkish government against the per-
mission granted in September last to
four unarmed Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers TO pass through the Darda-
nelles into the Black sea, under the
commercial flag of Russia. These YES
sells were about to start on the proposed
trip.
The British note says the passage Of
the Dardanelles by the torpedo-bOat de-
stroyers would be violation of the eX-
listing international treaties, and that if
Russian warships are thus allowed to
use the Dardanelles Great Britain will
reserve the right to demand similar
privileges.
The protest has caused irritation in
Russian circles and concern on the part
of the Turkish authorities, who fear that
other powers will follow the example of
Great Britain.

pated by the appearance yesterday OF

Conciliatory Attitudes Which Give
Hope of Settlement.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Secretary Hay
has received the British answer to
President Castros last proposal rela-
tive to arbitration. The note is inter-
locutory, but in substance states that
if Venezuela wishes a conference with
a view to submitting the differences
between the two countries to arbitra-
ton, Great Britain will accede The
conditions attached vary slightly from
the original British proposition. The
next step will be a reply from Presi-
dent Castro.
Later in the day response to Presi-
dent Castro's last proposal came from
Germany. In many respects it was
similar to that from Great Britain and
like that it named certain conditions
regarding the matters under consider
alton on which an understanding will
have to be reached before the case is
submitted to arbitration. Germany's
answer, like that of Great Britain, has
been sent to President Castro through
the intermediary of United States Min
lister Bowen at Caracas. If the latter
conditions suggested by the two allies
are accepted by Castro-and the hope
among officials here is that they be
it is expected that a meeting will be
held in Washington between Minister
Bowen, representing the government Of
Venezuela, and the ambassadors Of
Great Britain, Germany and others of
the allies to prepare a basis on which
the issues between the interested par
ties shall proceed.

Berlin, Jan. 6.-The budget appropri-
ates the first installment of s375, 900 for
the German exhibit at the st. Louis ex-
position and places the total require
ment for this purpose at from $625,0o0
to $750,000 The first installnent has
been placed at the disposal of the inn
perial commissioners. RI:
A memorandum from the ministry of
the interior explaining this item says:
However undesirable 1t may appear
that an international exposition on the
largest scale should follow so soon at
ter the Paris exposition, and however
great the obligation to avoid every un-
necessary expenditure may bean OBJ
legation imposed by the present finan-
cial condition of the country-still, the
empire cannot do otherwise than ac-
cept the offer to exhibit at the St. Louis
exposition after France and Great Brit
ain have exhibited. This decision, is
dictated not only out of regard for our
friendly relations with the United
States, but reasons of a purely CONNER
cial nature more urgently require our
acceptance"
The memorandum makes use OF
American statistics to show that the
United States occupies second position
among the nations as purchaser or
German goods.

Philadelphia, Jan. 6.-Twenty-two
men, all but one of whom were employ
ed in and about the coal mines, appear
ed before the anthracite coal strike
commission at it's first sessions in this
city to-day and recited the oft ft-told
tales Of alleged persecution they and
Others underwent during the late coal
strike because they chose to work
rather than join the strikers. The sin
gle exception was Charles H. Schadt,
of Scranton, the sheriff of Lackawanna
county, and his presence on the stand
under the cress-examination of Presi-
dent John Mitchell. of the miners
union, proved to be the principal feat
ure Of the days proceedings.
The sheriff in direct examination said,
among other things, that he issued a
proclamation shortly after the strike
was inaugurated calling upon all per-
sons in the county to keep the peace:
that it was difficult to get men to act
as deputy sheriffs; that in most cases
where there was trouble it was usually
over when he or his men arrived; that
he attempted to keep the peace in all
Localities, and that the disturbances be-
came so numerous and serious that he
had to call on the government for
troops He had appealed to Mr. Mitch
ell whom he knew quite well, to assist
in keeping the peace, and the miners
president promised to do so and in spe-
cial instances was of material help to

Sheriff Schadt was then turned over
to the miners for cross s-examination.
To the surprise of most persons Mr..
Mitchell took up the examination. 1t
is not known whether he decided to do
so because his principal attorney, c. S.

from the west or whether it was be-
