Italy against Venezuela had been re- moved by the yielding of Venezuela to the demands of the European allies. Minister Bowen, 1t was learned, would leave Venezuela either Saturday or Sunday and would come direct to the United States on a warship, probably the Dolphin. Minister Bowen will be cloth ed with authority to represent Venezue- la as her commissioner for the adjust ment of all claims out of hand without reference to The Hague tribunal, or. if this be found impracticable, then he Is authorized to act for Venezuela in set ting all points open to controversy as far as possible, and of drafting the terms on which a final and conclusive arbitra- ton shall be made by the international court at The Hague. The proceedings in which Minister Bowen will participate will take place at Washington, presuma- ply a few days after his arrivavl in this city. The commissioners on the part of the allies, 1t Is understood will be their leading diplomatic representatives in Washington.

 Caracas, January S.-It was learned at a late hour tonight that by the terms of the notes of the foreign powers handed to President Castro by Minister Bowen yesterday, and of Venezuelas answer to them. delivered at the American lega- tion today, a compromise in the matter of arbitration has been reached.

whether the organization has interested itself in maintaining the order which you have advised and whether it has disci- plined those who actually were convicted of disorders"
 Mir Mitchell said he did not know that any member of the union had been ex peled and added that until men are con victed of violation of law, the organiza- tlon had no right to expel them and thus prejudice their case before the trial court. Chairman Gray said that MT. Mitchells point was well taken ds far as concerns those under indictment. but what he wanted to know was whether any of these men were ever called upon who had been notoriously engaged in illegal acts and whether they were sub jected to discipline by the organization.
 This ended the incident.
 Witnesses Do Not Want to Appear.
 Witness Cingley further testified that witnesses were ayerse to going before the commission, because they were afraid of losing their positions, and in reply to Commissioner Wright, said that many of the coal and iron police were of bad character. Some had served time in jail and were hired as guards as soon as liberated from prison.
 The commissioners and the lawyers for the miners became involved in discus sion as to whether an organization had a right to expell man for committing A crime MT Darrow thought no organi- zation should expel a man any more than the Christian church.
 Daniel Mccarthy another lawyer for the miners, said there was no law that would warrant the union in the expelling of man for the committing of mis- demeanor. He was stopped by Chairman Gray who said: We are not the United Mine Workers of America. and we, per- the commission. as long as it is brought face to face with that. thinks differently about It."
 MT. Mitchell was called to the stand and testified that the three men who were convicted of killing a man at Nan ticoke were not members of the union when they committed the crime. They were former members. but they had failed to pay their dues. In reply to question MT. Mitchell said that the union had spent nearly $400,000 in relieving the dis tress among the 30.o00 to 40,000 strikers, who were not members of the union.
 The testimony given today was along the same line as that presented yesterday.

Professor w. A Noyes. Of the Rose Foly-
tecbnic Institute in his Elementary Text Book
of Organic Chemistry" which Henry Holt &
Co are publishing, makes departure in method
by dropping the old division into fatty ana
aromatic compounds for a classification which
he considers more fundamental There has been
trouble in the classification of this branch of
chemistry ever since the science took on its
modern aspect The very came organic chemis-
Try is an absurd relic Of earlier days 1t was
originally used to describe that branch Of chem
fstry which dealt with substances occurring IN
living things; but the distinction between the
chemical compounds found in living substances
and in the inanmate substances Of the earth
was found 70 be without further basis than un-
Informed assumption. The chemistry OF the
compounds Of carbon" was weighed in the bal
nnce as name and found not altogether exact
because some Of the carbonates are not usually
treated under the Lead OF compounds Of carbon.
Another name proposed has been the chemistry
Of the hydrocarbons and their derivatives" The
Old misnomer. however. has more organic quail
3ty as a word and has survived.
