STATEHOOD PROPOSITION.
There Is a Possibility of a Comprom.
Use in the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 4.-There was
again Tuesday considerable talk about
the senate Of the possibility of COM
promise on the statehood proposition.
A suggestion, which appears to meet
with some favor on both sides of the
controversy, is that the two territories
Of Oklahoma and New Mexico be ad-
united as states and that Arizona be
united with New Mexico until the area
now covered by that territory shall
include 300 900 people, when it shall
become state, and that Oklahoma be
admitted as it now stands, but that at
some definite time in the future In
dian territory shall be added to it.

THEY FEEL HOPEFUL.
NegOtiatOrs Believe Venezuelan
Dispute Will Be Settled Soon.
1t the Washington Negotiations Fail
the Claimant Nations Will Suffer
Far More Than Venezuela,
1t Is Thought.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Every effort is
making by the representatives of the
allies here to secure an early settle
ment of the Venezuelan dispute with
out referring it to The Hague In this
effort the Italian and British ambas-
sailors and the German minister. Bar
on Speck Won Sternburg, are receiving
the endorsement of Minister Bowen.
as well as the cordial approval of tie
government of the United States. 1t
is understood that the president. while
in no way connected with the negotia-
tons, is personally in favor of final
agreement being reached at Washing
ton. This fact, it is believed, will
nave an important bearing on the de-
cision of the British and German for
eign Offices.
The British ambassador and tha Ger
man minister have both cabled to tbnir
governments the fact that Mr.. Bowen
has expressed his willingness to give
the allies preferential treatment for
three months, in order that they may
emerge from the controversy without
injury to their honor.
The allies have not yet answered
the last representations of their en-
voys here, urging an acceptance of
this plan. Advices reached here from
Berlin Wednesday afternoon of an i'm
pOrtant nature, but assurances are Civ
en- that they were sent prior to the
submission of the last proposition and
effected only a detail of the contro-
aging. 1t may be some days yet be-
fore final answer reaches Washing
ton, but all the negotiators feel hope
full of a successful outcome
At a joint conference at the British
embassy Wednesday the three months
proposition was discussed at length
and the question of the possible refer
ence of the case to The Hague was
considered.
1t was considered that the claimant
nations will suffer far more than Ven
eZuela if the Washington negotiations
fail. While Mr.. Bowen, in his note
rejecting the last proposition of the
allies that they receive 20 and the
other credit powers 10 per cent OF the
customs receipts of La Guayra and
Porto Cabello, stated that Venezuela
would assent to the reference of this
one point to The Hague, there is a
strong probability that weeks would
elapse before preliminary protocol
even along these simple lines could be
drawn up. And once the question Of
settling the entire dispute at The
Hague is raised, Venezuela stands
ready to interject countless details
into the protocol, which the allies rep
resentatives are quite sure they can
not allow to be arbitrated. Ali this
will serve only to complicate further
an ugly situation and the negotiators
feel that it's main effect will be an in
crease of unrest throughout the United
States and South America against the
allied powers British and German
trade, it is pointed out, is suffering
greatly from the maintenance of the
blockade.
