As Viewed in London.
(By Associated Pres


LONDON, February 1.-THE announce
ment from Washington that the Vene-
zuea protocols are in course of prepara-
ton. confirming the hopeful views of the
situation expressed, has created great sat
isfacton. During the latter part of the
week offici circles here evinccd quiet
confidence that In spite of alraming re-
ports settlement was In sight. There
have been private expressions of intense
irritation at Minister Bowens alleged
breach of etiquette. but these have never
been allowed to interfere with the deter
mlnation voiced by both the British and
the German diplomats to secure a terni-
nation of the difficulty through any feas-
iblc channel.
Ambassador Herbert's structure found
sympathetic support In Downing Street
and apparently formed the subject Of ex-
changes OF messages between berlin, Lon
don and Rome whence the representa-
tives Of those powers at Washington were
instructed to present a united front and
prevent the recurrence OF the publication
of news of the nature Of which he had
complained.
Beyond some comparatively slight de-
liberations over the wording of the pro-
tocols, no further trouble is expected here,
where the raising of the blockade will be
regarded with almost as much relief as
. 1t will in Venezuela.

Tho satisfaction Of tho Richmond credi-

to bo tho last stop before the plan Of

announced and the time set for resu1np-
ton OF work.
A plan has already been suggested, &C.

the remainder In stock to the new COM
pany. but It Is believed that this has
not mot with the support hoped for It.
At ell events, Receiver Idburn T. Myers
has called meeting Of the Richmond
contingent OF creditors for tomorrow at
II o'clock at the office Of the company.
MIR. Myers said last night that the spe-

wise some plan for settlement which will
be satisfactory to oil.
When asked IL the result OF this meet

IT MAY BRING ON
TROUBLE in EUROPE
Possibility Of Some Trouble
Occurring Between Rus.
STA and Turkey.
(By Associated Press. }

PARIS, February 7-Oflcial advices
have been received here confirming tho
report that the Sultan of Turkey has
ordered the immediate mobilization of
10000 troops for military demonstration
In Macedonia.
The step taken is regarded with appre-
tension by the French officials as being
likely to involve complications between
Turkey, Russia and Austria.
II Is said that the Russian and Austrian
Governments have agreed on a firm note
to the Sultan, which will be presented
within the next few days, insisting on adj
ministratlve and official reforms in Mace
donna.
Although France will not be party to
the note, she will approve Of it. 1t is con-
sidered that the Sutan's mobilization of
such vast army Is clearly an effort to
forestall tho presentation of this note.
The mobilization of so many troops Is re-
garded here as unwise and dangerous,
especially as 1t Is said that the soldiers
who are to be brought into Macedonia
from Aslatic Turkey are semi-barbarous
leves and are hostile to Christians, which
Will tend to inaugurate another series of
mnssacres.
II Is understood tho Powers are ex-
changing views as to tho course to be pur-
sued towards the mobilization Of Turkish

pletion Of the arran gements for the fes-
tival to be held April 9th and 18th

The FIRST action of the board was to
elect Mr.. Walter c. Mercer general man
ager of the festival this year. Announce
ment was made that. the Academy OF
Music had been engaged for the three
concerts and that the price Of seats
would be the Same as last year. Anoth-

hauscr, conductor Of the Boston Festival

invitation to al! former members to

vance. The invitation reads:
Richmond, Va, February 7, 1908.
IIl6 bOdIu VI 1oNcEuOIS, al us IueSl-
ing held q few days ago, most enthu-
siastlcally approved the suggestion that
the next annual festival april 27-29
shall be made celebration of the clubs
tenth anniversary. That the music be
of miscellaneous and popular character.
and. as far as possible be participated
in by all those who have ever been
members since Its organization.
The suggestion seems eminently appro-
pirate. and the club heartily concurs. AS
this almost completely changes tho char
acter of the programmes. and the CHOIR
uses to be learned are gems of popular
music, already partly familiar, those who
have not attended this seasons rehear-
sails are put upon the same footing with
those who have.

invitation to all its former members to
