STATE OF WAR STILL EXISTS, HOWEVER
Castro Must Accept Completely
Terms of the Powers before Ques-
ton of Raising of Blockade IL En-
Decentralization Answer in the
Hands of Secretary Hay.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE joint reply of
the powers to Castro's qualified ac-
ceptance of arbitration was handed to
the United States ambassadors at Ber-
lin and London Tuesday. The note
aims to further smooth the way for
settlement which may possibly be
reached without arbitration. The
powers, however, do not abandon any
Of the reservations contained in their
original proposal.
The question of raising the block
ade will only be opened after Pres
ident Castro's complete acceptance of
the powers reservations. The state
of war is not modified by Tuesdays
note.
The German foreign office takes
cognizance of the statement emanat-
ing from Washington that group OF
7 German financiers is forming to pay
Germany's claims against Venezuela
the ultimate purpose being to prevent
the United States from building the
isthmian canal. The foreign otfic'
says this is quite untrue and further
asserts that the German government
hopes the United States will build the
canal as quickly as possible. So fa1
from interposing any obstacle, Ger
many regards that her own trade in
terests will be subserved by the open
ing of an inter-oceanic route.
British Answer Received.
Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretarl
Hay has received the British answe
to President Gastro's last propose
relative to arbitration. 1t is assume
that the British note reflects the view
of the German government, as tn
allies have been acting in harmony S
far. The note is interlocutory, but i
substance states that if Venezuel
wishes conference with a view t
submitting the difference between th
two countries to arbitration, Grea
Britain will accede. The condition
attached vary slightly from the orig
| inal British proposition, but in tn
Judgment of officials here the differ
ence between the allies and Nenezuel

JUDGE GRAY IS SURPRISED.
Hiring of Deputy sherins' by Coal
Companies to Maintain Public Or
der Considered Un-American.


over the holidays the anthracite coal
strike commission resumed its work
Tuesday Of hearing the nonunion
mems side of the controversy in the
great industrial war in the anthracite
coal regions during the past year. The
sessions of the commission in this city
are being held in the United States
circuit courtroom in the federal build
ing, and it is expected that fully Q
month will be occupied in taking the
testimony of the nonunion men, the
coal operators and the mine workers
in rebuttaf.
When the commission adjourned at
Scranton the miners had closed their
case and the nonunion men were en-
gagged in presenting their side OF the
conflict. Up to the holiday recess the
lawyers for the nonunion men had
taken up about three days in calling
witnesses, who testified to acts of vio-
lence, boycotting and intimidation al
legged to have been committed by mem
bers of the miners union. The wit
nesses heard were principally from the
upper region, in ths vicinity OF Scran-
ton and -Wilkesbarre.
The session began at II o'clock. The
courtroom was well filed when the
commissioners filed in and took their
seats. All the prominent attorneys
were present excepting c. c. Darrow,
leading counsel for the miners, who
was delayed in the west.

the presentation by their counsel of
the wage statements of several of the
small independent coal companies in
the Hazleton region.
John j. Williams, mining epgin-
eer, employed by the Lehigh & Wilkes
barre Coal company, was the first wit
ness. He told how he was set upon
and beaten while on his way to work,
but he could not swear that the strik-
ers committed the assault.
Sheriff Schadt. of Lackawanna
county, gave in detail his experiences
during the strike and finally his A.ass
upon Gov. Stone for assistance. The
sheriff said that President Mitchell
had several times assisted him in pre-
venting trouble.
President Mitchell cross-examined
Sheriff Schadt, and the latter admit
ted that he had employed about SO
deputies which the coal companies
had paid for. He would not say that
general state of lawlessness pre-
vailed in the county, but reign of
terror existed in some localities.
Gen. Wilson asked the sheriff why
the county did not pay the deputies,
and counsel for the witness explained
that it was the law in Pennsylvania
that the company pay the cost for
protection.
Chairman Gray, evidently surprised
at the statement, said:
81 am not familiar with such an un-
American law. When the county or
the state relinquishes the duty Of
maintaining order, protecting life and
keeping the police, then matters are
reaching sorry state"
Three additional witnesses were
heard, after which recess was taken
until 2:1s.
