MAY BE A GENERAL STRIKE.
Conductors and Tralnmen on Western
Lines Ask for Twenty Per Cent
Increase.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 3.-The con-
1uctors and trainmen on the western
lines, among which is the Santa Fe,
are voting on proposition for gen.
eral strike unless the railroads accede
to their demand for a REIMBURSEMENT
of the wage schedule. So far as can
be learned the sentiment appears to
be favorable to a strike, although
this is in great part conjecture, as
the men keep their business pretty
closely to themselves.
The roads have all refused to meet
the demand for 20 per cent. in.
crease, although quite number have
offered to compromise on smaller
percentage. But the boards of adj
justment, both for the conductors
and trainmen, take the ground that
they have made a conservative re-
quest in the first place, that their
demands are fair, and they will not
bulge from 20 per cent. This is an
increase of 20 per cent. from the
schedule agreed on in 1892.

NEAR AN ULTIMATUM
Venezuela's Representative Sends
q Note to the Allied Powers.
Mr.. Bowen Takes the Ground That He Cam
not Accept the Contentio That Biock-
abe Entities the Powers To Prefer
entail Treatment

Washington, Feb. 3.-Herbert W.
Bowen, Venezuela's representative in
the negotiations at Washington for
a settlement of the claims against
that country, Aas sent through the
British ambassador here what
amounts practically to an ultimatum
to the allied powers of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy regarding their
insistence for preferential treatment
In the settlement of their claims
against Venezuela. This note, which
the British ambassador received
shortly before nine o'clock last night,
was cabled at once to London, copies
of it being transmitted to the Italian
and German embassies for transmits
sion to Rome and Berlin. 1t is in re-
ply to the proposition submitted at a
joint conference of the negotiators
yesterday afternoon by the British
ambassador, urging that the allied
powers be allowed two-thirds of 80
per cent. of the custom receipts Of
the ports of La Guaira and Porto
Cabello, and that the United States
and the other claimant nations,
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark
Spain and Norway and Sweden, con-
tent themselves with the remaining
one-third of this percentage, that is,
ten per cent. of the receipts of these
two ports.
In the note received by the British
ambassador from Mr.. Bowen last
night the latter refuses point blank
the proposition for 20 and 10 per
cent. division on the ground that to
recognize the principle it embodies
would be absolutely offensive to mod
ern civilization. In view of the fact
that the negotiators are agreed or
all save the question of preferen
tial treatment, the ambassador is in.
formed that Venezuela has decided te
submit that question to The Hague
arbitration tribunal. The acceptance
of this proposition, Venezuela con
tends, carries with it raising of the
blockade, the general understanding
being that the blockade would end
when the negotiators at Washington
had reached an agreement.
1t is understood that in refusing
this last proposition submitted by
the British ambassador on behalf OF
the allies Mr.. Bowen takes the ground
that he cannot accept in principle
the contention that blockades and
bombardment of forts and the conse-
quent killing of helpless men, women
and children entities a power or ALI
ance of powers to preferential treat
A.. ment at the hands of a civilized ma.
ton. It Is claimed that should the
peace powers and the blockading
powers agree to such a principle they
would incorporate in the law Of ma.
; tions doctrine in conflict with the
tenets of all modern day ethics.
