ASKS FOR DELAY
Wants Time to Study the
Exact Status of the Ven
ezuelan Situation
lis IN FAVOR OF HONEN'S PLAN
seems That the Allies Are Willing to
Show Consideration TO Venezuela,
and That the German Government
Does Not Intend to Act on Question.

Washington. Feb. 2.-If one thing
more than any other holds out hope for
the success of Minister Bowens mis-
sion I'm behalf OF Venezuela Il lies in
the fact which became known to the
Government yesterday that Great Brit
ain Germany and Italy have not posi-
lively insisted upon Mr.. Bowen's ac-
ceptance OF their demand for preferen-
tial treatment. The so-called final an
swer is not an ultimatum but leaves
open the question Of preferential treat-
ment TO further correspondence be-
tween the Foreign offices in London,
Berlin and Rome and the embassies IN
Washington. In other words the allies
have not determined TO take Venezuela
by the throat or TO refuse all reason
able offers OF settlement.

Caracas, Feb. I'm reply 90 Mill
lister Bowen's inquiry as to what Vene-
zueia intends to do regarding the de-
mand for preferential treatment made
by the allies, President Castro has tel
egraphed: "The Venezuelan govern
ment desires equal treatment for all
the creditor nations I'm Europe and
America, keeping in mind, in addition.
its diplomatic conventions and an
terror supulations."
The French legation has notified the
Venezuelan government that in virtue
of the convention of 1867 France was
allowed to collect directly a part OF
the revenues OF several custom houses
in Venezuela as a guarantee for her
diplomatic claims arising out Of the
previous revolutions. France, It Is
said, renounced forever by the con
vention of 1885 the exercise of this
right on condition that the interest on
this debt should always he regularly
paid. As this payment has not been
made. France, without asking the au-
thorization of Germany, England and
Italy, intends to revive her right OF
direct collection. The French charge
d'affaires, Quievreux, has paid visits
to the foreign ministry and has twice
called on President Castro during the
past As hours. This activity on the
part of France is evidently in connec-
tion with her intention to revive her
rights, and is considered as an answer
to the attitude adopted by tho allied
powers

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 re-
ceived as yet there is reason for the
belief that the allies will see way to
accept the latest proposition. This
compromise has been suggested by
one of the allies here.
The details of the proposition now
under consideration by the three al
lied nations are not obtainable, but in
a general way it is understood to be a
modification Of the allies contention
that they be recognized as Venezuela's
preferred claimants in the payment Of
the indemnity The plan suggested
provides that for short period, per-
haps six months or a year, Great Bri-
tain, Germany and Italy shall receive
exclusively 80 per cent. of the customs
receipts of the ports of Porto Cabello
and La Guaira, and that at the end
Of this period, the exact length of
which is yet open to discussion, that
all the claimant nations be placed on
the same footing, and at the expira-
tion of that time the 80 per cent. OF
the receipts of these two ports be di-
vided among all the claimant nations
in ratio based on the amount Of eacn
nations claim.
The plan is regarded as a comprO-
mise which will enable the allies to
withdraw their ships from Venezuelan
waters without a serious loss Of pres
tige.

diah Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with
all these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition of
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain. the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimilative func-
lions healthy and active. From per-
sonaI knowledge, we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla fer this purpose.
1t acts on all the vital organs, builds
up the whole system, and fits men and
women for these high-pressure days.

Cohasset, Mass, April 10.-The first

Of the Amalgamated Union to install its

We're encouraged by the announcement
