was 'Will you allow us to name one
Senator, you taking the other?" The
Union Republicans replied that they
could abide by nothing but the vote OF
a majority OF the Republican caucus.
The Regulars then retired and the Union
committeeman submitted the final prop

THE ALLIES
Beaten in the Game Of
Diplomacy.
The Venezuelan Question
Goes to The Hague.
Mr. Bowen. the Representative ol
Venezuela. Beats the Game
Of the Allies.

The attempt to settle the Ven
ezuelan troubles by conference of
the powers interested at Washington
has ia lied.
England, Germany and Italy want
ed a preference as creditors till their
claims should be paid, and demanded
possession of the two principal ports
of the country to collect its customs.
France, the United States, Russia
and other countries protested against
! being crowded out in this manner,
aud Mr.. Bowen, as the representative
of Venezuela, refused to accede to
the demands of the allies. This threw
the case into the international Court
of Arbitrational at The Hague, and
will raise the blockade of the ports
of Venezuela, pending the action OF
the Court of The Hague, which is
made up of representatives of the
leading nations of the world.
The German and British represent
atives in the conference at Washing
ton were much irritated over the
manner in which Bowen outwittet
them, but thew had to chew theil
budding.
