restoration OF peace between Venezu-
ella and the allied powers Senor Au-
gustopulido. Venezuelan charge de af-
flares, addressed an appropriate note
to the British ambassador today and
later called up some details with the
British ambassador, paid farewell
call upon Secretary Hay at the state
department and reported the signing
OF the peace protocol. The two were
in conference for some time and the
secretary congratulated Bowen hearth
~ upon the success of his mission AT

embassy, Bowen will meet the repre-
sentatives of the allies to draw up and
sign some additional papers.
With the consent Of the British am
bassador Bowen today made public the
full text of the British protocol, which
was the first Of the three conventions
signed last night. The Italian and
German protocols, while Indifferent in
phraseology, contain the same pro-
visions. with one of two exceptions.
Where the British protocol stipulates
that $27,500 shall be paid in cash upon
the signing of agreement the German
and Italian protocols provide for the
payment of this sum in thirty and sixty
days, respectively from that date.

SENDING THEIR BRIGHTEST MEN
New Minister to Washington Coming
With Large Retinue, All of Them
scions of Distinguished Families
Twelve Young Men Accompany Him
for Study in United States.

Washington, Feb. eb.-14.--The Chinese
News Mail, just arrived here, con
tains interesting details respecting the
suite of the new Chinese minister. Sir
Cheng Tun Liang Cheng, is bring to
Washington. This suite comprises
seventeen persons, and is absolutely
unique, not only in size. but in its per-
sonality. The new minister is also
bringing with him twelve young men,
of whom ten are coming to study in
this country at their own expense, in
cluding 4 grandson and two grand
nephews of the Chinese grand secretary,
Sun CHA Mai. formerly chancellor of
Pekin University and imperial tutor
to the present emperor OF China. The
suite referred to differs from that Chi
ma sends to any other country. as many
members are scions of the most dis
tinguished families in the country.
Only four years ago the Chinese con-
sidered appointment to a foreign courl-
try fit only for second class" people.

lost with commercial! paper in them.
Banks. at Jeffersonyi.le New Albany.
Sellershurg, Edinburg, Columbus and
Franklin are amonS those reporting
losses.
The mail was all from Indiana. No
complaint has been received from south
of the Indiana line. The authorities do
not think the missing package started
at Louisville.
The theory put forward at the post
office is that the package was left In a
pouch. which was thought to have been
emptied, thru the carlessness of one OF
the employees. No suspicion rests on
any one Of wrongdoing. 1t is the GUS
tom to mail all the empty pouches to
Cincinnati. and as soon as the loss was
discovered word was sent three and all
the pouches were examined, but no
trace of the missing package was
found.
1t is the custom of the mailing clerks
to sort the letters addressed to single
place in long and regulation lots. Banks
generally send their checks In long en-
velopes. Legal papers are reported
missing. and Assistant Postmaster
Shideler has concluded that it was n
package of these letters which has been
lost. The cashier of one of the Edin-
burg banks is here to look up check
for $4,000 which had been mailed and
lost. No attempt has been made to
cash any of the checks. Mr.. Shideler
thinks that the package has been lost
and will be found.

STARVING CROWS Kill HORSE.
Hundreds Of the Birds Peck and
Scratch Animal TO Death.

Hayton, Wis. Feb. IA horse be-
longing to James Wilcox of this place
was killed recently by crows which
alighted upon the beast, pecking and
scratching until it sank exhausted to
the ground.
The horse was contend in small
compound some distance from the
house, and its plight was not discovered
until too late TO avert its death.
There were hundreds of crows in the
flock. They settled upon every avail
able portion of the animal, and as 1T
could not shake them off, the effect of
the long continued assault of the VII
cious birds was fatal When found the
horse was in pitiable condition ana
soon died.
The scarcity of 105e.probably drove
the birds to desperation.
