MINISTER BOWEN
FARFR0MPOPULAR
WITH THE POWERS
His Careful Attention to
Castro's Interests
Unweicome.
Still HOPING FOR SETTLEMENT.

Scriops-McRae Telegram.
Washington, Feb. 4.-Minister Bow
en- has been SO successful in putting
the allies on the defensive that an cf-
fort will now be made to eliminate
him from the negotiations IL possible.
The Tagblatt says: 1T is becoming
more and more evident that the powers
could have found no more unwelcome
agent for Venezuela than Minister
Bowen. He Is seeing to Castro's in
terests in way which shows that the
Yankees are entirely disregarding the
rights Of the powers"
There are as yet no advices from
the allied governments respecting the
nature of the next proposal they will
submit to Mr.. Bowen, for settlement
of their claims. nal
At the British embassy. the most i'm
portant conference that the allies have
held among themselves, took place. Tho
conference was called to consider the
recommendations which the Italian and
British ambassadors and the German
minister should make to their govern
ments, as to the next step to be taken
AZ a result of this conference the for
eign Offices in London, Berlin and
Rome are in, possession of suggestions
which, if adopted, will mean the success
of the Washington negotiations and the
raising of the blockade.
The feeling is growing that per-
sistence in the present pos. On can
result only in loss of prestige for the
allies and bad feeling against them
not only in Venezuela but elsewhere
throughout the Americas.

suggested. The diocese at present comprises the
horoughs of Richmond. Manhattan and The Bronx,
the counties Of Westchester Putnam and Dutchess
ON the cast side of the Hudson River. and the
counties of Rockland. Orange. Sullivan and Ulster
on the side Bishop Potter advocates the creR-

prsinG for the OF it the counties OF Wesches-

would keep Manhattan the see city, and take
in Richmond and the counties OF Rockland Orange.
Sullivan and Ulster. Before such division could ne
made It would be necessary to change the general
law OF the Episcopal Church forbiddng the di-
vision OF city.
BY such division Bishop. Potter would Still

4 THREAT OF SUICIDE.
Burdick SO Construed Letter an
DiUorce Suit, Friend Says.

Buffalo March 15-"The Express tomorrow
will print an interview with a person VINO at
one time was a stockholder In the Buffalo En-
veIope Company. and for twelve years was
-aIose friend of Edwin L. Burdick. Inc inter-
view in part is as follows:
ct had been acquainted with Mr.. Burdick for
twelve wears prior to his death. I came in al
most daily contact with him, and for some time
past had been more less in his confidence.
First of all, want to say something In defence
of his character, which has been unjustly ma
Iigned by statement and insnuation Mr. Bur-
dick was a gentleman in every sense OF the
word. This talk about his intimacy with women
I believe was wholly without foundation.
Though knew in the early part OF Decem-
Der that Mr.. Burdick had made a will cutting on
his wife it was not until shortly after Christmas
that learned anything about the divorce pro-
ceedings. He then told Of having begun
suit for divorce in the early part OF November
/ cannot help believing. from all heard from
Mr.. Burdck, that the only motive for the crime
could have been desire to suppress the scandal
that would have been incident to the trial OF
divorce suit.
Soon after Mr. Burdick told me of his having
begun divorce proceedings he showed me let
ter he had just received from New-York. Mr..
Burdick handed me the letter and read every
word of it. In the letter the writer was trying
hard to bring about d reconciliation between Mr..
Burdick and his wife. She pleaded with Bur-
dick TO take Allie back. The writer also wrote
in this letter something that Burdick construed
threat that unless there was reconciliation
there would be double suicide. I cannot re-
member the exact words but they were some
thing like this: Do you want to put an end to
all our lives?
mfr. Burdick pointed out that particular parc
of the letter to me, and said: That means
suicide Well let them go ahead and do it,
1T seems to that this letter ought to be
found. What has become Of 1t? Did he have II
n HnSk I'm a
taken by the murderer when rifing the drawer
that found open?
Another paper that should be found Is list
of twenty meeting places that Mr.. Burdick had
secured for use in his divorce proceedings
