WILL NOT ACCEPT
PRESIDENT AGAIN REFUSES RE.
QUEST OF ALLIES.
Matter of Preferential Treatment
Will Now Go to the Hague for
DecisIOn..-The Blockade will be
Raised as Soon AZ Protocols for
reference Are Signed.

Washington. Feb. 7-President Roos
evelt has declined the invitation Of the
allied powers to arbitrate the question
AS to whether they shall receive p: efer-
entail treatment in the settlement Of
their claims against Venezuela over the
other creditor nations He REACHED
this decision shortly after O'Clock,
and instructed Secretary Hay to dis
patch note to the British embassy at
once, advising the British ambassador
to that effect. The matter, therefore.
now will be referred to the Hagne.
This will result in the immediate rails
ing of the blockade. The administra-
ton, it is stated in official quartz RS,
was unwilling to approve the effort Of
the British governmrt to eliminate
Minister Bowen from the negotiations,
and, moreover, the president could not
have accepted the invitatlon of the al
lies, even if he had been so disposed,
without the consent of the other nego-
tiator, Minister Bowen, and this the
allies did not obtain or request in their
note to the president.
Immediately upon the receipt OF Sec
rotary Hays note announcing the pres
ident's declnation, the British ambas-
sador addressed communication to
Mr.. Bowen stating that he was suffer
ing from the grip, and would be obliged
if Mr.. Bowen would call on him. The
Venezuela representative Immediately
went to the British embassy. where the
British ambassador explained that he
had been too i'll to call for several days,
and announced the arrival of his proto-
col, which he was prepared to submit
to Mr.. Bowen for signature. Later, the
German minister, Baron Won Sternberg,
called on Mr.. Bowen and announced
the arrival of his protocol. The next
step on the program will include pre-.
liminary preparations for the signing
OF the protocols. Two protocols are to
be signed by Minister Bowen with
the Italian ambassador, two with tine
British and two with the German am
bassador. The first protocol in each
case viii. provide for the reference of
the contention of the allies for prefer
entail treatment to the Hague, and the
raising OF the blockade simultaneously
with the signing of this convention.

AN ORGANIZED GANG.
Horse Thieves Active in Eastern
Washington and Oregon.

Colfax, Feb 4.-What is believed
to beO ne of the most extensive gangs of
horsethieves in the northwest is said to
be operating through Eastern Washing
ton and Oregon, and to be carrying on
an extensive and lucrative business
Four horses stolen from Umatilla coun-
tv, Oregon, have been found in Whit
man county. One of the horses is a
race mare, valued by the owner at
$4,000. The four horses recovered are a
part of bunch of seven stolen at about
the same time, and driven north into
Washington. The recovery was made
by Deputy Sheriff A. l.. Steward, Of
Whitman county, assisted by Hugh
Bell and M. Parker and son, II near
Athena, Oregon, Mr.. Parker being the
owner of the racing mare. A fine span
OF work mares, valued at $500, stolen
from Mr.. Bell, were recovered from
James Heron, on Hastings Gulch, near
st. John, where they had been sold by
a member of the gang. Four other
horses, which officers say were stolen,
bnt the owners of which are unknown,
were also found.
"This is chain gang OF horsethieves
working from Alberta, Northwest Ter
ritory, Canada, to Reading. California,
which is operating here" said Deput,
Sheriff Steward. cit is one of the
most extensive gangs in the northwest
Horses stolen in California or Oregon
are driven north into Washington and
Canada. Horses stolen in this state
and the Alberta country are driven
south into California and Oregon. The
gang has regular headquarters at vari
Gus places along the route, and is doing
an extensive business. Several men,
bers of the gang a,e now in Jail at Pen
dleton, Oregon, and warrants are out
for others"

WASHINGTON ORANGES.
Agricultural Department Expects
to Succeed in Its Ex.
periments.

Washington, FEB. 6.-1he experts OF
the agricultural department are salts
fed that oranges can be grown in East
ern Washington. Preparations are now
being made to send a number of seed
the early spring, and the expectation
of the department is that the orange
growing business will ultimately be-
come a recognized industry in Wash.
ington.
1t may surprise some persons to know
that the department has actually dem
onstrated that it is possible to raise
oranges successfully in latitudes much
further north than Florida or Califor-
MIA, and that distinct new species OF
this fruit, the trees of which are prac-
tically frost-proof, have been developed.
Oranges are now being grown as far
north as North Carolina, and although
it may seem, even to a resident of the
state of Washington that the climate OF
North Carolina is much warmer than
that of Washington, the fact is that the
mean temperature in North Carolina is
really lower than it is in many parts OF
Washington.
The first experiments in Washington
will be made in Chelan county, and
the first actual shipment of trees will
go to Wenatchee. The department off.
Gals are satisfied that the climate oil
Che!an county is well adapted to the
cultivation Of the particular species Of
oranges which it is proposed to raise
there. OF course these oranges are no,
the sweet varieties of Florida or even OF
Southern California. The fruit is, in
deed, quite sour, but it is palatable for
table use when sugar is plentifully
used; and is moreover of excellent
quality for use in making preserves and
marmalades.
The department predicts that by the
time the Seeding trees which it pro-
poses to ship to Chelan county have
reached the bearing age, which will he
in about three years, the experts of the
government will be ready with vari-
ETY. of scions which can be grated to
the mature trees and which will pro-
duce an excellent sweet orange. almost
or quite equal to the product of South
ern climes. This prediction Is based
upon the results of experiments which
have been going on in the agricultural
department, almost unnoticed for sew
eral years.

DECISION is REVERSED
Circuit Court of Idaho Overruled in
Sheep Herding Cases.

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-The circuit
court of Idaho has been reversed by the
United States circuit court of appeals
in the case of Jesse NJ. Smith and forty
other appellants, against Thomas G..
Lowe ct al. The suit was to enjoin the
appellees from preventing the appel
lants from driving about $4,000 head
of sheep from Box Elder county, Utah
to Idaho, when it was necessary to find
pasturage.
The legislature of Idaho passed an
act forbidding the entry of animals from
another state, to prevent the spread of
infectious disease. Judge Gilbert de-
cided that the court erred in sustaining
the demurrer which prevented the pas
sage of the sheep over the border as it
was evident that the real object of the
passage of the act was to shut out all
sheep from other states from coming

TO ADMIT JESUITS.
Announcement in Reichstag Created
Tremendous Sensation.

Berlin, Feb. 4.-The German govern
ment has decided to readmit the Jesu-
its who, since July, 1872, have been
excluded from Germany.
Chancellor Won Buelow, in the reichs-
tag, said he would use his influence to
instruct the Prussian members OF the
bundesrath to support the repeal of the
anti-Jesuit laws so as to permit individ-
ual German and foreign Jesuits to re-
side in Germany, but not to allow the
founding of Jesuit chapters, which the
chancellor believed the confederated
governments would not accept.
The chancelor's announceent created
a tremendous sensation among the
members, though it was not unexpect-
ed, in view of the cabinets negotiations
with the majority parties over the pas
sage of the tariff bill.
The majority of the reichstag UNI
doubtedly will support the readmission
of the ,)esuits when the bundesrath sub
