To END THE
BLOCKADE
Best Means Of Elfecting a Termina-
ton Now Under
Discussion.
UNITED STATES COURSE DEFENDED.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The news of
President Castro's agreement to ac-
cede to the just demands of the pow
ets has caused the cabinet to take un-
der discussion such questions as those
relating to the best means of termi-
hating the blockade. and other matters
touching the personnel of the com
mission, which it is expected, will
meet in Washington to lay down TIE
lines of the arbitration scheme.
lnasmuch as certain European pub
licists have taken exception to the ei-
forts of the United States to bring
about arbitration between Venezuela
traditions and rules of the interna-
tional intercourse. the attention of one
of the most eminent American men,
bers of the representatives at The
Hague conference, one of the men who
framed The Hague convention itself
was directed to the criticisms. He
very promptly cleared away the mis-
understanding on this point by point
ing to article 81 OF The Hague con-
vcntion as justification OF the attitude
CT the United States. This article
reads
"The signatory powers consider it
thor duty, II a serious dispute threat
cns to break out between two or more
of them, to remind these latter that
the permanent court is open to them
Consequently they declare that the
fact of reminding the conflicting par
tics of the provision of the present
convention, and the advice given to
them. in the highest interests of peace
to have recourse to the permanent
court. can only be regarded as friend
ly action"
The pararaph was proposed by
France and similarly enough it was
opposed principally by the United
States, yet the United States is the
first of the nations to avail o. its pro-
visions. The reason for the opposition
of our delegates was fear on their
part that it would seem TO be a be-
stowai of power upon European coun-
tries to intervene in American affairs
and in q manner an infringement Of
the Monroe doctrine The French del
ogates were exceedingly anxious to
carry the paragraph. however, and they
finally succeeded in queting the oppo-
sition of the United States delegation,
through the reservation by the latter.
of the right to deal with American af-
fairs In accordance with our estab-
lehcd doctrines. This was thought TO
safeguard the Monroe doctrine, though
it is held here, it only recorded an
opinion of the United States delegates
and did not bind The Hague tribunal

COAL DEALERS
MAY be In ndicted for Conspiracy
Flight on in Cieve-
land.

Cleveland Jan. County Prosecut-
or Keeler announced yesterday that lie
would bring before the grand jury
which convenes on Mondey, the mem
hers of the Retail Coal Dealers asso-
citation, which he charges with forming
an unlawful conspiracy to fix the price
of COAL
In the opinion of the prosecutor the
fixing of prices to prevail through the
city is a violation of the Valentine
ar THRUST law, which designates a
price agreement between two or more
persons, firms or corporations as a
conspiracy against trade. 1t is esti-
mated that the local dealers are now
enjoying a profit of s1.l5 on every ton
OF bituminous coal and higher pric IS
are limited at. The Retail Coal Deal
crs' association will also be investl-
gated by the committee appointed by
the city council.
]. G. Goff, president of the associa-
ton, admitted that the association did
meet to fix prices, and when asked II
this was not violation Of the law.
replied:
''That IL a question for an attorney
to decide"
The price fixed on bituminous coal
by the association is s5.25 ton and
anthracite $775.

NET gain OF
SIX MILLIONS
Phenominal Advance In Bank Clear
ings in 1902 Over the Pre-
YiOus Year.
Table SHOWING RESPECTIVE GAINS.

The gain in the bank clearings OF
the year 1902 over the year of 1901 Is
phenomenal and Is only one of the
many signs of the great growth and
the large volume of business transact
ed in this city during the past year.
According to the tabulations Of Clerk
Krumlauf of the Canton clearing
house the gain of this year over last
year was $6,327 .260.53. This is be-
lieved to be the greatest gain in the
bank clearings in the history of the
city.
Many new manufacturing plants
have begun business in Canton since
the first of the year and this probably
accounts for the great increase in the
clearings. The receipts in almost every
department of trade have shown great
strides The total clearings for 1901
were $17,916,538.09 while the total for
1902 was $24,243, 1882.
The clearings for the two years as
given out by Manager Krumlauf are
as follows:

Idle Moments

To show how difficult 1t Is for some
people to recognize their own proper
ty story is told concerning a local
butcher which is vouched for by cer-
tain well-known. and highly respected
residents of the city.
One day last week two boys. about
seven or eight years of age. entered
the butcher shop carrying several
nice, plump chickens.
Mister, would you like to buy some
chickens?" the eldest of the two made
bold to ask as he approached the pro-
prietor of the shop. The butcher ask
ed the price of the fowls and finding
that they were to be had at n figure
greatly less than that which lie was
accustomed to pay he said that he
thought he would like to purchase
them. When asked where they had
gotten the fowls the boys replied that
their father owned a farm near here
and they were sent by him to sell
them.
Several days later the youngsters
again made their appearance with two
choice chickens for which they were
willing to take even smaller price
than before. This aroused the butch
er's curiosity and he determined to
find out IL the tale the boys told was
absolutely trua After ipsistant fir
ing Of questions the lads confessed

that arrangements have been made

For months the ticket agent at the
Pennsylvania depot has been thinking
of some way in which to avoid the
trouble and inconvenience caused both
to himself and the patrons Of the road
by people calling up the ticket office
to find out whether trains are on
time or not He has finally hit upon
a scheme to obviate the trouble. Tho
information operators of both tele-
phone exchanges will be notified con-
cerning the trains thirty minutes be-
fore train time and persons desiring to
find out about them will only need
to ask for the information operator
and thus avoid delay to themselves
and the ticket agent.
1t is probable that the agents of the
other roads will adopt the same meas
urea to relieve themselves from tho
burdensome duty.

politics has been at every nerve to
maintain their ascendency in poll
tics, and this has been made pos
sible by the fact that the better PEG
pie, those of clean lives and COM
mendable morals, have remained
away from the polls in prefer
ence to mingling with the thugs,
thieves, gamblers and gutter poll
ticans who swarm in sue h places.
But this IS all wrong and should
be remedied. Our duty is to at
tend the primary and election and
stamp out the element that con-
tinually seeks to corrupt the bal
lot box. BY our presence and our
ballots only can this be done.
