GOES TO THE HAGUE
Roos evelt Will Not Arbitrate the
Venezuelan Dispute.
Monroe Doctrine VIII Not Be an Issue 60
Embarrs>sment of the United States
Great Brttain Soreiy Disappointed
Over the Agreement

Washington, Dec 27-President
Roosevelt will not be the arbitrator
of the Venezuelan controversy. The
whole vexatious subject will be re-
ferred for adjudication to The Hague
tribunal. Epitomized, this was the
situation as it had resolved itself at
the conclusion of the cabinet meeting
Friday. All the members except Sec
rotary Root were present. The Ven
eZuelan question was the principal,
and practically the only topic of gen.
eral concern under consideration.
Secretary Hay presented the net re-
with the governments at London, Ber-
lin, Rome and Caracas. In accord
ance with the suggestion made by
President Roosevelt, through Secre-
tary Hay, President Castro was re-
ported to have agreed to submit the
differences to the arbitration of the
tribunal at The Hague. The Euro
pean powers not only consented to
submit the controversy to arbitra-
a preference for an arbitration to be
conducted by President Roosevelt,
they had assented to his suggestion
that the matter be referred to The
Hague.
The presentation of the case met
the hearty approval of the cabinet.
No fear is expressed by the admins
tration that the Monroe doctrine will
be brought into the controversy in
,r@ hof ,oc11lf in, on
embarrassing situation for the United
States. Secretary Hay is preparing
a note to the powers in which the
qualification of this government is
expressed for the course agreed upon.

Disappointed in England.

London, Dec. s7.-Except by the
opponents of the government, who
view it as virtual defeat and as dis
crediting the ministry, the latest
phase of the Venezuelan trouble has
been welcomed very luke-warmly.
Arbitration by President Roosevelt
had been anticipated as SO desirable
an issue from a difficult business
that his refusal, which is regarded
as final, has caused keen disappoint-
ment. It is foreseen that even II
satisfactory conditions to the sub
mission 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 President Castro still will be in
power or V nezuela in the mood to
abide by the decision of The Hague.

FLORAHOME LETTER


Editor Palatka News:
Decoration Day, May Both, was
periodically observed by our people.
Our school house was nicely trimmed
with holly, pine and palm, speeches
were made by the old soldiers, eight
of whom were present, and grave
in memory of the dead of their old
companies was decorated with bou-
quets of beautiful flowers. After this
ceremony flag presented to the
school by S. f. Tubbs of Wisconsin,
was duly delivered to the care of the
school board in an appropriate speech
| by G. f. Wilcox. After this lunch
of ice cream and cake was served by
the ladies to the delight and salts
faction of over 100 of the colonists
present.
The road question has been much
discussed the past few days. Many
of our citizens look upon the road
being constructed on the north of the
railroad as unfortunately placed ow-
ing to the fact that haywood, the
objective point to be reached, lies
quite a distance south of east of our
town and that every foot gone north
must be retraced at some point east,
thus adding to the distance to be
raw, led o and from haywood. This
does not affect FlOrahOme alone, but
the public at large, as all will be sub
ieCt to the same conditions. Look
ing the matter over it would appear
that the road made by the Etoniah
Drainage d Canal Co. as far as the
property of f. Jain, would have been
the cheapest most direct and best
| for the county to have taken, being as
it is . miles of as good road as Flor
ida soil permits. Further, that had
the commissioners known the fact
that there is an old travelled road
across the muck about | mile south
of Mr.. jams corner with good road
to it on both sides and that this
course would have given Il compare
lively good road to haywood with
very little labor, that it would have
been taken. If, as is represented,
there is IL road across this muck prair-
lie that has long and successfully
been used and that is far enough
south to be almost on a direct line
W. ST of haywood, it might still pay
the county to examine it and adopt
it if by so doing it would prevent the
expense of cutting through the heavy
body of timber lying just east of The
present terminus of the north side
road-to say nothing Of bridging the
canal and the heavy work understood
to lie beyond on the route so chosen.
| think it probable that Commits
siOnor Strickland is not aware of this
old travelled road across the muck or
he would have examined it before
locating the new road and it would
seem that it has been forgotten by all
Others once cOgnisant of its location.
Some 200 crates of peaches largely
Of the Waldo variety have been
shipped from our orchards the past
/, 10 days Prices so far have not been
satisfactory owing to the heavy eN
press charges topOints of destination.
Our fruit this year is very large and
presents very inviting appearance.
The break in the drouth by reason
of the heavy rain of May 3lst has
greatly benefited crops. Cane is
very fine, corn could scarce be better,
while cassaVa, sweet potatoes ETC.,
are growing very rapidly.

Night Air,

One of the bugbears of old time peo-
pie is night air and there is little ex-
aggeration in saying that the supersti-
ton against night air has killed more
people than the free circulation of it
has ever injured. There is abundance
of proof that night air is injurious to
no one. On the contrary, people who
sleep outdoors under the mere protec-
ton of a tent are the healthiest of all
people, and the practice has largely
gained in popularity of late years I'M
der wider knowledge of hygiene for
people in delicate health to go in
camping parties and breathe the bal
sam of the night air. The vigor gained
from a few weeks of such an outing is
marked proof that the old prejudice
against night air is as foolish as most
other old wives whims.-EXchange.

Wallace Harp is at home and is

His sister, Mrs. Young, is with him.
Some one has mentioned the fact
that there are an even dozen more

than at this time last year.
This is the peach, watermelon and
eantaloupe season in Crescent City
and there is enough for all. Straw
berries are also still in the market.
This is really the most delightful
season of the year in Crescent City,
and it Is unfortunate for the place
that the large number of tourists
who annually visit us in the winter
cannot be here to enjoy the finest
summer season in the round world.
With almost daily showers and cool
Ing breezes from the east, the people
OF this place cannot know what it is
to suffer from the sitting heat of the
northern states, especially the cities.
There isn't mnch to do here, it is
true, but enjoy the climate, eat fruit
restand be happy; but that is a good
deal,
