Washington, February 21.-The re- publican leaders conferred all day on the subject of a statehood compromise and most of the democrats were in formed of the general terms of the pro position. To all questions as to wheth- CT they would accept such a compro- mise they said they wanted to see definite proposition, and know from whom it came, then they would be in d position to confer and decide.
 On the republican side it is found that two republican senators. Bever- idge and Nelson, both members of the committee on ttfritories, are very 10th to accept any compromise save that which the majority originally present. ed. Their position is that the omnibus bill will be defeated and that Senator Quay, who has been so persistently pressing it. has lost strength by his course in supporting Senator Morgan during the latter'S fight against tha canal treaty.
 Senator SpSoner reported to his col leagues that there vas TO legal diff culty in the way of admitting Okla homa and afterward attaching the In dian territory to the state. In this same connection there is q proposition to have included in the legislation pro vision for q trust school fund for the Indian territory, to be provided by the AoE erLIEent. This is tu meet the oD- jCction raised against the Indian terri tory that it has no school lands and no grants to be made for public schools.
 The division of New Mexico and Arizona is to be made upon q Dr0cla- nation by the president when th.re is a population of 300.000 in Arizona, but the objection has been raised by demo- crats to this suggestion ;-s it now stands. because no provision was made for census, and it would be at least 1910 before any test could be made.
 During the day efforts were made to find Delegate Mark 4. Smith of Ari- zona, to ascertain what his views would be as to the proposed compro- mise, but he was not at the capitol. He has been decidedly opposed to any such move all along and today Senator Blackburn told some of his colleagues that the joining of the two territories would not be acceptable, and he said it would cause strong opposition.
 Another feature Of the democratic position developed today was that many democrats were indifferent as to an extra legislative session of con gress, while some think it would not be q bad policy to have such session and have the subject Of trust legislation and revision of tariff discussed. This idea was communicated to some lead CTS today and caused considera ble un- easiness. It is realized that with busi- ness row pending in the senate Q very few men could force enough appropria- ton bills over to cause an extra session of the Fffty-eighth congress. At the same time. the members have express ed all opinion that before the coming week is passed the blockade will be raised in some manner and all ncces- s2ry legislation will he disnoscd of by the fourth of March
 Senator Quay has said nothing to encourage any compromise. All pro- positions, however. tentative. have come from the. other side. Senator Furaker said tonight that there could be no compromise, that the omnibus hill

Washington, February 21.-It is a matter oi comment in official circles here perhaps that without intending it, that Germans are aiding the Venezuel an revolutionists in refusing to return at once President Castro's ships. Word has been received here that the Ger man commander has informed the Venezuelan government that the ships will be turned over to them at the Port of Spain on Monday afternoon.
 In protocols it was provided that all ships should be returned and it was the intention of the allies representa- tives here that the transfer of the yes seis should occur in Venezuelan wat CTS where they were captured. The in terpretation which the Germans put upon the article is regarded here as somewhat petty but it will not be mo- ticed officially. Instead, the state de-

THE FIRST BLOOD
 FOR THE HUMBERTS
The Verdict Is Approved by the Paris
 Populace.

Paris, February 21.-The ifumDeris scored the first notable success today when the ninth correctional chamber announced their acquittal in the libel suit brought against them by NJ. Cat taui. banker. Public interest in the result is very great, and the court room was filled by an eager crowd. The costs of the prosecution were assessed against M. Cattaui.
 The court delivered lengthy judg- ment. the main point of which was that the evidence failed to show bad faith on the part of the Humberts in charg- ing M Cattaui with usury. The gov ornment especially acquits Frederick Humbert. Mime. Humbert and Marie Daurig. her sister, who were the chief persons accused.
 The result of the trial was fully ex- Dected. and although it marks tenn porary triumph for the Humberts. ft IS not considered to affect the main case. which involves the authenticity of the Crawford millions. Public opinion seems to applaud the verdict, as the plaintiff. M. Cattaui, is considered q type of money lender.

MISUSED THE MAIL
 FOR MEXICAN LOTTERY
Important Arrests Made in New York
 Yesterday.

New York, February 21.-Several de- tectives and postoffice inspectors ar rested seven men today on a charge ot running q flake" lottery.
 The police say that thousands of per sons have been victimized by the scheme. Tickets, it is claimed, were sold by agents for twenty five cents to S2 each, for alleged prizes ranging from $4 to $30,000. It is charged that while great representations were made by the promoters and agents of the ar- fair, no drawings have ever been held
 The drawing place is supposed to be at Pueblo, Mexico. Representatives of the company were active in seeking patrons, and many persons who had previously invested money in policies have been secured as clients. Accord ing to the police. the scheme has been in operation at least two years.
 Postoffice Inspector Boyle said the government would prosecute the pris- oners on charge of misusing the mails.

partment will place the Marietta at the disposal of President Castro to carry officers and men to Trinidad with which to man the vessels.
 In the meantime the revolutionists are importing large supplies of arms and ammunition into Coro and other unguarded ports. President Castro has no navy to prevent this and he is therefore becoming restive at Ger many's conduct. It has not been de cided whether the United States in the event that President Castro again de- clares a blockade of Orinoco, will recognize it as effective. This matter has been the subject of correspondence between MT. Russell, United States charge d'affaires at Caracas, and the officials here, but the matter will probably not be decided until Minister Bowen returns to Venezuela.
