THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION.
Rejoinders of Foreign Offices to Castro
Not Received Here.

The rejoinders OF the European foreign
offices to President Castros reply to their
arbitration proposal have not reached
Washington. This, however, was no mat
ter of surprise, for it is well understood
here that the holidays are much more
closely observed in European capitals than
in Washington, and. it would be extremely
difficult to secure consideration on New
Year day or the day preceding for any
matter not regarded as of the greatest ur-
gency.
Following the rule which il has adopted
in the treatment Of correspondence passing
between Venezuela and the allies the State
Department still declines to make public
any information respecting the details of
President Castro's reply, COntenting itself
with a very general outline already given
TO the public. Still inquiry confirms the
press report from Rome to the effect that
Castro did attach a condition to the ac-
ceptanCe of the arbitration proposal, and
that condition was not indOrsed by the
Washington government. But 1t Is pointed
out that 1t has not been regarded as neces-
sary at the State Department to either ap-
prove or disapprove any Of the details Of
the propositions now in exchange between
the principals.
AS to this condition attached to the ac-
ceptance, 1t can, however. be stated that
it is not of great consequence nor is it
likely to involve the loss of the arbitration
project. for it is understood to relate rather
to the means Of getting the issue to arbi-
tration than to any substantial principle
involved

BANK NOTE ISSUES.
Address Before the Scientists by Di-
rector of the Mint

The address Of George Roberts, director
of the mint. before the scientists yesterday
was devoted largely to the matter Of bank
note issues. He said In part
1.-The objector to note issues without spe-
cial security wants first of all to divest h M
self Of the idea that note redemption de-
ponds solely or primarily upon the gold re-
serve in the banks" The proposition to
issue notes on bank assets, he said. was but
a development Of the clearing house idea
Continuing, he said: so long as a bank
confines its note issues to the service of its
regular daily, legitimate trade to giving
the ordinary accommodations TO farmers,
manufacturers and merchants in their busi-
ness there would be no important balances
against it at the clearing house, because
the legitimate trade of the country offsets
itself. But as soon a bank begins to
greedily push it's circulation by unusual
methods or unusual credits. adverse bal
ances at the clearing house would begin to
appear and it's gold reserve to dwindle. SO
long as a bank does only the business that
no problem at all, but the moment 1t de-
parted from--that policy it would have to
suffer and settle at every misstep."
An interesting paper, read by w. ]. Nc
Gee, gave explanation of the work OF
the international archaeological and ethno-
logical commission. zp

lea hold it's annual banquet at the New

HANDLING THE CROWD.
Admirable Arrangements Were Well
Carried Out.

The police arrangements inside and out
side the White House today were more
satisfactory than ever. Inside the White
House the force Of attendants handling the
crowd was the largest eyer known. Major
Sylvester was there and watching the work
of his own men. Chief Wilkie of the Sc
cret service had a number of his men scat
tered through the building, assisting in look
ing after and managing the crowd.
Throughout the grounds were many pO-
lice officers. The White House staff of at
tendants and ushers was materially aided
by the local force and secret service.
The carriage arrangements required skill
full handling in view Of the large number of
carriages used. At New Year receptions
heretofore IL has been easy to place all
the carriages inside the front part of the
White House grounds to wait the exits of
their owners
This year the carriages exceeded In num-
Der the record of any year. Major Syives-
ter directed that they be lined up on the
street between the White House and Treas
ury and on the ellipse south of the White
House. This was done, and police officers
with megaphones called for the vehicles as
the occupants departed from the White
House by the new east terrace.
The vehicles of the diplomatic corps and
of other distinguished people We're parked
on executive avenue near the State Depart
ment. Mega phones called the drivers from
there. The diplomats entered their vehicles
at the south door of the White House. Mai.
Sylvester was interested In watching the
new carriage plan, so as to determine what
shall be done when the four formal recep-
lions of the President are held the balance
OF the winter. If his officers report that the
carriages may be placed as today that will
be the arrang ement in the future.
