COMPROMISE OFFERED

Washington. Feb. "A compro-
mise has been offered by Minister
Bowen to Germany, Great Britain and
Italy. In order that they may main
tain their prestige, which they have
alleged would be lost if they were to
permit non blockading creditors to
settle with Venezuela on the same
basis with themselves Minister Bowen
offers them preferential treatment for
a period of one month. During that
time three countries are to have ex.
clusively for themselves thirty per
cent of customs receipts of Puesto
Cabello and LaGuayra. After the
expiration of one month all national
creditors are to share alike in the
thirty per cent reservation. Minister
Bowen makes this concession in the
interests of peace without abrogating
the principles for which he has been
contending. Duties thus collected in
one month by the three countries
would be a very small portion of their
entire credits against Venezuela

MILITIA CALLED.

Waterbury, Conn. Feb. 2. Fourteen
companies of the First and Second
regiments, G. N. G., reached this
city last evening and together with
the two local companies, A and G,
are under command of Brig. Gen.
Russell Frost of South Norwalk.
The visiting companies average
fifty men each, and with the local
companies total of 800. They were
Missed by the crowds which had
gathered as they marched to their
quarters at the armory escorted by
the police.
The first to arrive were the Hart
ford, New Britain and Bristol men.
They brought with them two machine
~un batteries The Manchester and
Rockville militia arrived little later
and brought with them two gatling
guns.
The running of cars was stopped
when it was decided to call out the
troops. The company as well as the
authorities feared the effect of such a
rumor on the part of the lawless ele-
ment.
Violence continued yesterday though
no serious damage was done.
The trolley lines resumed schedule
running this morning and no violence
was shown by the strikers.

MUST PROTECT NEGROES.

In stirring charge to the grand
jury of Natchitoches parish, La, the
district judge has called for the in
dictment or for misdemeanor i'm
parchment of all justices of the peace
and other officials who have failed to
suppress mob violence within their
jurisdiction, and noting the lynching of
negro at Robeline, two shot to death
at Campti and two others badly beat
en- at Clarence.
"The white people of this State, ;"
said the Judge, in his charge, "now
exercise all of the powers of govern
ment. Our laws are made by white
men and administered by white men.
To say that the courts and the laws
are inadequate to the punishment of
the negro, when he deserves punish
ment, and to his protection, when he
is entitled to protection, is to confess
that our race is incapable of admins
tecring the government. We cannot
turn these. helpless people over to the
tender mercies of irresponsible mobs
without mourning the contempt of all
enlightened people and the wrath of a
righteous God. -
Indictments are looked for in conse-
quenoe Of the charge.

CONFL4GRATION.

Middlebury, Feb. 3.-What is
probably the most disastrous fire in
the history Of this town occurred here
this morning and today the entire
business portion of the village located
south of the river is field of ruin.
The fire began about clock this
morning in the basement of Trudell S
drug store on Main street and in two
hours all that section of the town was
in ashes. The fire, which supposedly
caught from a furnace, was discovered
by Robert Nancy clerk. who
roomed across the sreet. The firemen
Immediately responded but for some
unknown reason the magnificent water
system, supplied by the 1000, 600
gallon reservoir ON Chapman Hill did
not work satisfactorily and the pressure
was far below usual. A heavy gale
was blowing and this coupled with
the shortage of water made the fire.
mems fight an unequal one and they
could do little to prevent the spread
or the flames.
Aside from business purposes most
of the blocks were devoted to tene-
ments and several families are home
less. There was little resistance to
the spread of the flames, and when
the fire had run it's course. three
residences and the engine house were
all that remained of that section Of
the village.
The town hall and Battell block
across the river caught fire several
times but were not damaged extern
sively.
The loss is estimated at from $l25, 600
to $l75, 600 and most of the loosers
carried from one-half to two-thirds
insurance.

MOH1IR IND USTRY

If Vermonters want to go into a
business where there is no trust and
practically no competition, let them
tackle the Angora goat business. Be-
fore the national live stock convention
in Kansas City, DR.. O. W. Bailey of
California read paper on the bust
ness in which he said the industry had
been successfully growing in the Unit
ed States for over forty years and the
flocks number about 400, 600 animals.
Last year over 200, 600 pounds Of mo-
hair were produced which sold for
from 20 to 45 cents per pound. The
American mills consumed over 8, 900, :
600 pounds. 1t would take some years
to produce enough mohair for home
consumption, but home consumption
was increasing as rapidly as home pro-
duction. And there was demand for
large fine skins far in excess of the
supply.
