gardtug the iusiStenCe for preferential
treatment in the settlement OF claims
against Venezuela The note was ca.

proposition submitted at the joint con.
ference of negotiations, yesterday
afternoon by the British ambassador
that the allies be allowed wothirds of
80 per cent, of the custom receipts
and that the United States and other
claimant nations content themselves
With the remaining 10 per cent, Mr.,
Bowen last night refused point blank
the proposition for 20 and 10 per
cent, division on the ground that 10
recognize the principal item of the
bodies would be absolutely offensive
to modern civilization. In view Of the
fact that the negotiators are agreed
on all save the question of profereu.

formed that Venezuela has decided to
submit that question to The Hague mr..
bitration tribunal. The acceptance
of this proposition Venezuela con

Moreover, Venezuela, It IL stated

be encouraging and abcttlng the
maintenance of hostile alliances

NO FREIGHT BY STREET CARS.
important Ruling by Cream City
Court

Milwaukee, Feb. 3,--Judge Kelsey
has decided that the freight trains on
the street railway lines are not oper-
.ated according TO law and that this
very fact makes the company liable to
damages for accidents occurring wheth-
er there was negligence shownon their
part or not. The decision was made
in the demurrer filed by the street
railway company against the com
plant of James DAILY, an infant, who
is suing through his father as guard
ian for $4,000 damages. The street
railway company will doubtless appear
to the supreme court. as it is a most
interesting legal question and one
which attracted considerable attention
among lawyers when argued by Gen,
