are tho states that are solidlv and
staunchly democratic. The third. and
IN some respects tho most important
section is what are known as the
doubtful states--that is to say. the
states that at ono election vote for
the democrat and at another for the
republican ticket. II is these states
which ultimately decide the struggle.

in a presidential election, does saw the

Thus you have already reduced the
vast collection of over forty states
down to one ais the decisive factor.
But the process of reduction must go
still further. In the midst of the
state of New York are New York and
tho different adjoining cities which.

added to New York, of which Brook.

notable. 1t is evident that these
great cities, together counting over
two millions must have the decisive
influence upon the entire vote Of the
state Of New York, and in normal
circumstances 1t is as New York City,
or greatre New York, as It is now
called, that the state Of New York
goes.
But this is not the end of the pro
cess of reduction. The city OF New
York in it's turn is governed by it's

municipal officers. They, then, in

CHAMBERLAIN LANDS

Durham, Natal, Dec. 27.-Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain arrived yester-
day. His speeches at the reception
functions were notable for their strong
tone of Cancellation. Referring to the
war, the secretary said the Dutch and
British had fought in courageous ri
valry. Between the two races, not
kindred in origin or nature, such a
struggle for supremacy had been liz
evitable. From that struggle two
proud and kindred races would grow
in mutual respect, appreciation and
lasting friendship.
THE victor and vanquished," said
Chamberlain, ''bravely played their
parts. We scorn to glory in our tri-
umph; the enemy need fear no humil-
iation in their defeat. Let us see, as
Britons worthy the name, that nothing
be done to revive the animosities Of
the past. We must give our new fell
low subjects equality of position with
ourselves. We ask, however, some
thing in return; it is with them the is
sue lies. We hold out our hand and
ask them to take it without thought OF
the past, but frankly and in the spirit
in which it is offered"

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-The
notes received from the European gov
ernments interested in the Venezue-
Ian controversy, including Venezuela,
agree to submit the question at issue
to the tribunal at The Hague. A note
is now being prepared by Secretary
Hay, in which this government an
nounces its hearty approval of such a
course. There appears to be no ques-
ton of the fact that it is the general
understanding that the Monroe doc
trine is not to enter into the question
of arbitration.
London, Dec. 27.-The latest phase
OF the Venezuelan trouble has been
welcomed very lukewarmly.
Arbitration by President Roosevelt
had been anticipated as so desirable
an issue from the difficult business
that his refusal, which is regarded as
final, has caused keen disappoint-
ment. 1t is foreseen that even if sat
isfactory conditions to submission of
the disputes to The Hague court can
be arranged, this method will entail
endless and wearisome details, with
no assurance that at the end Castro
still will be in power or Venezuela in
mood to abide by the decision Of
The Hague. In short that element of
guarantee which would have accom-
panied Roosevelt's acceptance of the
office Of arbitrator is now lacking. At
the same time it is readily admitted
that from the American point of view
the president has acted wisely in de-
clining to act.

the government says:
Thus ends perhaps the most .inglo-
rious episode in which Great Britain

La Gauira, Dec. 27.-The Swedish
bark Eramnas, from Cardiff, with ATS
tons of coal for the La Guaria-Cara-
cas- railroad, British concern, ar
rived off port Christmas and was or
dered to remain outside the blockade
line. Yesterday orders were con-
veyed to the captain of the bark to
leave. This step was taken because coal
was consiuered contraband of war.
The vessel was not seized, as she left
Cardiff before the trouble with Vene-
zuela commenced The captain of the
Eramnas is awaiting orders from his
consignor.
The Dutch consul here has asked
for and obtained permission Of the
commander of the British cruiser
Tribune to send schooner to Los
Roques, group of small islands 120
miles north of here, where the char
coal burners who trade with La Guaira
are at present without provisions or
water, their sloops having been
seized by the blockaders. The
schooner must carry flag of truce.
She can only take enough provisions
to last the trip and she will remove
all the inhabitants of Los Roques to
Willemstad, Curacao, and then return
here. Two schooners were captured
yesterday morning. The total num-
Der of craft taken by the blockaders
is now twenty.
