PROTOCOLS ARE SIGNED.
Blockade to be Immediately
Raised.

nAAsGu.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Herbert w.
Bowen, Venezuela's representative in
the peace negotiations at Washington,
signed with each of the allies represen-
tatives protocol providing for the
immediate raising of the Venezuela
blockade, and for the reference of the
question of preferential treatment of
the claims of the allies against Vene-
zuela to The Hague arbitration tri-
bunaL The final formalities occurred
at the British embassy.
Immediately upon the signing of the
last protocol cables were dispatched to
London, Berlin and Rome announcing
the fact. 1t is expected that the COM
manders of the blocl1ading fleets with
in the next twenty-four hours will
receive their orders to withdraw their
vessels at once. By the provisions of
these preliminary protocols, which
have required more than three weeks
of constant negotiations, Venezuela
makes two distinct gains, the imme-
diate raising of blockade from which
she has been suffering for some weeks,
and the return of all her vessels, war
and merchant, which have been cap
tured by the allied fleets.

WESTERN CANADA AROUSING
GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields of Wheat Attract
ing Thousands.

The Wonderful Yields of Wheat Attract
ing Thousands.
Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that vast
area of grain-producing land lying
north of the 49th parallel, and imme-
distely adjoining the northern boun.
diaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay, there,
! Fat being unable to fully occupy it,
Hsy have asked the Americans to
assist them in converting the land
frou its virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-producing
area OF the North American continent
and the response has been most lib
eral.
Durt7g the year 1901 upwards of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the SUCCESS of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving informa-
ton as to the advantages of settle
ment in Canada as it is to extending
an invitation to the Americans to fol-
low those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
int rr-sk1
success of those who have been in
duced to take advantage of the offer
of 160 acres of land free in Canada,
and have no cause to hesitate in con-
tinuing the invitation. Many of those
interested say there are no more free
homesteads to be had in Canada, but
the writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian government that
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had, and in one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as
good as the best, and it is probably
the best.
The Canadian government has es.
tablished agencies at ST. Paul, linn;
Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo-; Chi
cago, ILL.,; Indianapolis, Ind; Milwau-
kee. Wis; Wausau. Wis; Detroit.
Sault Ste. Marie and Marquette,
Mich; Toledo, Ohio; WATERFOWL, S.
Dakota; Grand Forks, N Dakota, and
Great Falls, Mont, and the suggestion
is made that by addressing any of
these, who are authorized agents of
the government, it will be to the ad-
vantage of the reader, who will be
given the fullest and most authentic
information regarding the results Of
mixed farming. dairying. ranching.
and grain raising. and also supply in
formation as to freight and passenger
rates. etc.

A PLEA FOR WORKERS.

Way.

To Earn His Daily Bread In His Own
Philadelphia, Feb. 14.-Ira 81. Burns,
of Scranton counsel for the independ-
ent operators of the Laclkawanna in
his address before the coal arbitr ators,
said:
What are the respective claims of
the miners and operators? The miners
want more pay and less work. The
operators want the right of every man
to own and control his own labor.
1.-The one wants more money; the
other more law and order. The one
contends for a policy; the other for a
principle. Whether a man shall re-
ceive one dollar or two for a days
work, or whether he shall work eight
hours or ten are matters of policy and
expediency on which men may honest
" differ and which may be changed by
be allowed to earn his daily bread in
his own way, subject only to the laws
of the land is principle as old as the
creation and as eternal as the ever
lasting hills.
The crucial point in this whole con-
troversy will finally be the right of
every man to enjoy the fruit of his
labor with no one to modest or make
afraid.
ave respectively but earnestly urge
this body not to forget the sufferings
and deserts of the non-union miner,

size, and so were at one time used in

To-day the carat as applied to gold
means simply the twenty-fourth part
of the weight of any piece of gold or
