SANTA FE MEMS DEMANDS.


I. Topeka, Kan, Feb. 14.--A confer
ence was held yesterday between the
Santa Fe officials and the trainmen
relative to an increase in wages.
Nothing definite was decided upon.
but there is more conciliatory feel
ing between the parties now. a. B.
Garretson, assistant chief Of the Or
der of Railroad Conductors, in dis
cussing the probability Of q strike,
said:
"That is q question that ! do not
know quite how to answer. We nave
never had occasion to strike and in
all probability never will II things
run as smoothly as they have here
tofore. In all previous matters OF
this kind we have always been able
to come to satisfactory agreements.
The raise in wages is what we are
after, not strikes. Some concessions
may be made, Of course, but then
one cannot always get all that one
wants."

FAMILIES ARE SMALLER.


Washington, Feb. 14.-Statisticians
of the government are now demon
strating that the number of children
in American families is gradually de-
creasing, which fact is shown by CEN
sus figures, and to which President
Roosevelt called attention day or
two ago in a letter deploring the
tendency of men and women to live
lives of single blessedness. Accord
ing to government statistics the aver
age size of families in the United
States has decreased steadily in the
last so years. The census of 1900
shows the average size of the United
States family I'd be AZ persons. In
1850 it was SO; in 1860, SO; in 1870,
81; in 1880, $; in 1890, 40.
The birth rate for the entire United
States in 1890 per 1000 of population
was 20 9-10. The birth rate per-
1000 of population in 1900 was 81 2-10,
which is almost stationary. By the
birth places of mothers of United
DJdbcb CulluTtu buCbc arc tlO pSA-
centages showing the births per 1000
Of population as based on the census
Of 1900: ireland, 32.7 per 1000; Ger
many, S6.2; England and Wales, 1854;
Canada, $40; Scandinavia, 46.7; Scot
land, SOL; Italy, 900; France, 1874;
Hungary, e5.5; Bohemia, 81; Russia,
GAG, and all other countries 500.
The decrease in the size of the
American families in the last so years
is shown by the census figures to be
almost one to family, and it is the
recognition Of this fact which has
caused the president and many others
before him to feel alarm. France is
being held up to the other nations
of the world as the country where
the birth rate is smallest. The pop
ulation there is practically station
airy, and French statesmen and sci
entists have been trying to devise
ways and means TO encourage child
bearing.

PROTOCOLS SIGNED.
CAPTURED VESSELS 1OBE RETURNED
A Brief Cablesrsm Dispatched 70 President
Castro by AIr. Bowen Informing. Him
OF tho Outcoms of the
Negotiations.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Herbert w.
Bowen, Venezuela's representative In
the peace negotiations at Washing
ton, last night signed with each Of
the allies representatives protocol
providing for the immediate raising
of the Venezuelan blockade and for
the reference of the question of pref
erential treatment of the claims Of
the allies against Venezuela to The
Hague arbitration tribunal. The
final formalities occurred at the Brit
ish embassy. At 1880 o'clock last
night Mr.. Herbert Dering, first secre-
tary of the British embassy, an
nounced to the Associated press that
the British protocol has just been
signed and that the signature of the
Italian and German protocols would
follow in the order named. The Brit
ish protocol was in English, the Ital-
ian in italian and the German in Ger
man and English. Mr.. Bowen signed
in duplicate for Venezuela, Sir
Michael Herbert for Great Britain,
Signor Mayer des Planches for Italy
and Baron Speck Won Sternberg for
Germany. Immediately on the sign
ing of the last protocol cables were
dispatched to London. Berlin and
Rome announcing the fact. 1t is ex-
pected that the commanders of the
blockading feet within the next "a
hours with receive their orders to
withdraw their vessels at once.
BY the provisions Of these prelim-
mary protocols, which have required
more than three weeks of constant
negotiations, Venezuela makes two
distinct gains, the immediate raising
Of blockade, from which she has
been suffering for some weeks, and
the return of all her vessls, war and
merchant, which have been captured
by the allied feet.
Great Britain, Germany and Italy
received advance payments of $500
each, Great Britain receiving her pay
ment on the signature of the proto-
col and Germany and Italy within 30
and go days from date. Germany, in
addition, will receive five monthly
payments until the full amount paid
here in advance aggregates $4,000.
As a guaranty for the satisfaction
Of their claims, Mr.. Bowen pledges
the allies share with the other cred
itor nations in 80 per cent. Of the
customs receipts of the two ports Of
La Guaira and Porto Cabello. This
percentage will be set aside, begin
ming March /, and retained in the
Venezuelan treasury until The Hngue
tribunal shall decide whether it shall
be distributed without preference
among the claimant nations, or
whether the allied powers Of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy shall re-
ceive preferential payments.
Mr.. Bowen then dispatched a brief
cablegram to President Castro, in
forming him of the signature OF the
protocols providing for the imme-
date raising of the blockade.

TREATY IS IN A BAD WAY
The Cuban Senate's Proposed Amend.
ment Is Likely to
Kill It.

Havana, March 27.--Advices have been
received here from the Cuban minister at
Washington, Senor Quesada, to the effect
that the condition which the majority of
the Cuban senate committee recommends
attaching to the reciprocity treaty that
it's ratification by the United States con-
gross must be completed before Dec. y
will certainly nullify the treaty.
Senor Busta1nente, chairman of the for
eign relations committee Of the Cuban
senate, and Senators Capote and Dolse,
constituting a majority Of the committee
are however. prepared to report IN favor
of the adoption of the United States
amendments, while insisting that the
treaty shall not be effective unless it is
ratified before Dec. I.
Senor 'Tamayee, who was absent from
Yesterdays meeting of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, will present a
minority report against the treaty's rati-
iication. and Senor Zayas, the remaining
member. says he will oppose the United
States sugar amendment. y
Unless the majority of the foreign rela-
tions committee consents to change its
report before the session of the Cuban
senate at 3 p. m. to-day the ratification
Of the treaty is considered hopeless.

BLAST FROM BRYAN
Real Democracy and the Plutocracy
of the Cleveland Brand Will
Not Mix"
Some Caustic Comment From the
Commoner on the Harmony
Banquet in Chicago.
! Special to The Journal.

special to The journal,
Lincoln. Neb,, March 27:-The Harmony
banquet Of the Iroquois club in Chi
cago inspired the following criticism by
Editor w. j. Bryan in the Commoner:
'The harmony banquet given by the
Chicago Iroquois club on the 18th inst. has
come and gone, and it was. as expected, a
demonstration In honor of Grover Cleve-
land. There were some persons at the
table who are in the habit of voting the
democratic ticket. but the general char
acter Of the crowd was shown by the
fact that the guests climbed on their
chairs, waved their napkins and cheered,
when Cleveland's name was mentioned.
This illustrates the kind of harmony
that is intended when those who believe
in democratic principles are invited to
meet at the banquet board the men who
still boast of their contribution to repub
lican campaigns and stand ready to re-
peat their Offense unless they are allowed
to republicanize the democratic party.
Such harmony is farce and a fraud and
those who talk of it are either grossly
deceived themselves or intend to deceive
Others =. s>a &e -la at
Real democracy and the plutocracy OF
the Cleveland brand will no more mix
than oil and water, and the Cleveland
element insists upon being the oil. II

combination may help to raise the oil, but
the oil never helps to raise the water.
