Washington. Feb. 2.-Propositions
involving a compromise of the allied
powers contention for preferential
treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela have been
submitted to the governments OF Great
Britain, Germany and Italy by their
representatives at Washington. and
while no answers have been received as
yet, there is no reason for the belief
that the allies will see way to accept
the latest proposition. This compro-
mise has been suggested by one of the
representatives of the allies here, and
while it has not formally received the
Endorsement of Minister Bowen. it is
felt that he will not enter serious OBJ
jections to its adoption, providing the
United States and the other claimant
nations outside the alliance can be con-
vinced that their own interests in Ven
ezuela will not be substantially injured
by yielding to plan which seems to
offer a solution of the present serious
hitch in the Washington negotiations.
France has it in her power to con-
tinue the present deadlock in the
Washington negotiations. For while

Democratic Minority Would cineh All
Trade Combines.

Washington. Jan. ga minority re-
port was submitted to the House yes
terday by the Democratic members of
the House judiciary committee on the
antitrust bill recently reported by the
committee. They propose an amend
ment which will make the bill applica-
BILE in its operations to existing cor

lied in the future. and will deny to all
corporations violating the Sherman
antitrust law the use of the mails,
telegraph and telephone systems. as
well as the other facilities of interstate
commerce specified in the bill re-
ported.
Another amendment is proposed to
make watered stock grounds for de
claring corporation bankrupt Still
another amendment provides that ev-
cry corporation engaged in interstate
commerce. wherever organized shall
be subject to the Jurisdiction of the
state in which 1t may operate. Provi-
sion Is made by the minority for the
imposition OF a tax on all corporations
with q capital In excess of 5000, 900.
In addition to imposing fine where
common carriers knowingly transport

DEAR MEAT DOES
NOT AID FARMERS

Washington, Feb. lin discussing
the continued high price of beef, to-
day. Col. j. H. Bingham, assistant
secretary of agriculture, said:
with cattle selling at the present
low prices, meat ought to be from
twenty-five to forty per cent. less than
now asked by retail dealers. 1t is all
nonsense to say that the worlds popu-
lation has grown far ahead of its avail
able meat supply If the farmers are
assured of reasonable prices for their
cattle, they will supply all that the
consumers demand, without the slight
est doubt whatever. If necessary, the
meat supply in this country can be
doubled and it would be a great ad-
vantage to the farmers if the grain and
feed raised were put into cattle, hogs
and sheep.
IF the consumer could buy meat at
prices that would correspond with the
price paid the farmer for his cattle and
sheep. 1t would induce liberal buying.
and the consumption of meats would
undoubtedly be materially increased
and farmers would be induced to in
crease their herds.
THE claim that this drifting of pop
ulation to the cities has almost dou-
bled the price per head of cattle in two
years is an obvious absurdity. Ac-
cording to statistics the price OF good
to choice steers in the Chicago market
In December. 1901. was $3.50 to 81,
whereas last December in the same
market price for the same grade OF
cattle was $5.G5 to $3.50.

COTTAGES FOR

Denver, Feb. 1.-The movement
which is being agitated by the friends
of the old soldiers in the state for the
erection of a number of cottages for
the families of the Civil War veterans.

probable that they will help in making
it success. 1t is likely that the neces-
sary funds will be raised through an

AT present, the state home makes -
provision for the families of the vet
Grams who enter. accommodating only
the men themselves. and in eases
where the men have families they are
forced to leave them. The object OF
the cottage plan is to make this sepaf-
alton unnecessary. and provide way
to care for the dependent soldiers
without causing them to part fron
their wives and children. The plan ?
copied from the one in existence n
hansas at present, where tne btA's
home is located at old Fort Dodge.
while the cottages under the name Oh
the Annex, are located at Ellsworth.
Kansas. Rations are issued each week
to the inhabitants of the cottages. and
they are under the same rules as the
home proper.
The question as to the location OF
the cottages in Colorado has not ~
been determined. although numerous
localities have been suggested. It
claimed that It is not necessary to have
the cottages in the direct vicinity OF
the home. but that any place In the
state will do. One place that Is ~
ceiving a great deal OF favorable com.
ment is the vacant state school lahs
between Denver and Colorado Spring.
Most Of this land is on Cherry creek:

Waterbury, Conn. Feb. six COM
panies of the First regiment OF the
Connecticut National Guard and five
companies of the Second regiment,
with two Calling guns. were called to
Waterbury to-day at the command OF
Governor Chamberlain because OF the
imperative need occasioned by the
trolley strike situation. The riot about
the streets last night. coupled with
threats of further disturbances to-
night, led to the call for troops.
There was no repetition to-day OF
the violence of last night. but crowds
congregated about the streets and had
to be dispersed by the police. while
there were rumors OF an attack to be
made tonight from the barn, where
the non-union motormen and conduc-
tors brought here by the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Company are
quartered.
During the day all the lines were OPP
Grated as usual with the non-union

by the three allied nations are not
obtainable. but in general way 1t Is
understood to be a modification of the
allies contention that they be recos-

ants in the payment of the indemnity.
The plan suggested provides that for 4
short period. perhaps six months or
year. Great Britain, Germany and Italy
shall receive exclusively thirty per
cent. of the customs receipts OF the
ports of Porto Cabello and La Guayrs.
and that at the end of this period. the
exact length of which is yet open to de-
cision. all the claimant nations be
placed on the same footing. and at the
expiration of that time the thirty per
cent of the receipts of these two ports
be divided among all the claimant na-
tions in ratio based on the amount ot
each nations claim.
The plan is regarded as compromise
which will enable the allies to with
draw their ships from Venezuelan wa
ters without serious loss of prestige.
Whether the claimant nations out
side the tripartite agreement will as
