vENEzUELANS THINK THE
 ALLIED POWERS UNFAIR
Newspapers of Caracas Say the Attempt to Force Preferential Treatment of Claims is on Par With Their Unjust
 Acts Since the Beginning of the Trouble.

certain of her claims. and, therefore, she wahted to force immediate payments.
 Germany, for the same reason, does not desire the Dsconto Gezelleschaft loan scandal to become known to the financial world.
 The Italians have no industrial en- terprises in Venezuela. Italians here are mostly agricultural laborers and ped- dlers; these have undoubtedly suffered, but they claim $10 for the loss of a chicken and $10O for the theft of donkey. It can be seen why Italy does not wish to have her claims discussed by tri- bunal and prefers force to reason.
 No belief should be attached to the statement that France will abandon her rights in the matter of her own claims, which were obtained by interior diplo- matic treaties with Venezuela. I know on good authority that France is not dis posed to capitulate, and l hope that the United States, which also has claims against Venezuela, will not gratify the allies by accepting such treatment
 There was much excitement among the foreigners In Caracas when it was re- ported that the allies proposed special treatment to secure the payment of their claims. Americans, Frenchmen and Span iards met and protested against the car rying out of such an idea, and cable messages were addressed to the govern ments of the United States, France and Spain, asking for protection of their sev- eral rights, and that the claims of the petitioners be accorded treatment similar to that given British, German and Italian claims.

AGITATED OVER
 NEGRO QUESTION
MEMBERS OF MARDI GRAs cARNI. VAL ARE DIVIDED IN oPIoNIoN ABOUT INVITING MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT TO ATTEND.

New Orleans, January 31.-The Seven Wise Men has declined to extend an in- vitation to Miss Alice Roosevelt daughter of the President to attend the Mardi Gras ball. The reported reason is that the members of this order profess to dislike President Roosevelts attitude toward the negroes
 Miss Roosevelt will attend the carnival as a guest of John McGlhenny. member of the Roosevelt Rough Riders during the Spanish-American war, and when the question came up of extending an invi- tation to her to. attend the ball during Mardi Gras week the members of the society decided not to invite her. The Seven Wise Men is a national secret or der and is not one of the carnival socie- ties proper The carnival societies are Rex, the Mystic Krewe of Protues and the Knights of Comus.
 These organizations furnish the pa geants, and each of them gives an an- nual ball during Mardi Gras week. which are attended by the leading members of the New Orleans 400. The organizations are all secret and the invitations to the balls are passed upon in secret session No member is permitted to give out any information under penaldy of expulsion and it is, therefore, very difficult to as- certain the names cf parties who have been rejected.
 It is said that the Tex, Comus and Momus socities have issued invitations tc Miss Roosevelt to attend their balls, and the cards have been or will forwarded to Washington.

Caracas January 3f.--AlI the news papers of Caracas have published articles to the effect that the allies intend impos- ing upon Venezuelan special preferential treatment in the settlement of their own claims, ard says this is on a par with all their previous acts since the beginning of the present difficulty, namely. unjust and unreasonable.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press today asked the members of the diplomatic corps in Caracas for their opin- ion on this phase of the matter. Two de- clined to speak but a third was willing to discuss the matter for publication pro- vided his name was not used. He said:
 "The action of Great Britain, Germany and Italy in trying to impose favored treatment for their claims, and in de- manding an immediate cash payment, arises from the fact that they know that their claims are not well founded. Minister Haggard of Great Britain before his departure presented claims to Vene- zuela on behalf of Great Britain to the amount of only $S000. The remainder of Great Britain's claims against Venezuela is not known. What this may be is problematic. It must be that schooners from the British Island of Trinidad have been assisting the Mates revolutionists. as well as smuggling, and that these ves- sels have been rightfully seized by Ven ezuela- Great Britain was sure before hand that no tribunal would recognize

MORGAN BLOCKING THE CANAL TREATY His Objection, However, is to
 Avoid Possible Error WANTS DE TAILS GUARDED Alabamian Declares His Interest ls Just as Great as If the Nicaragua
 Route Had Been Selected.
 Trouble Ahead.
WANTS DETAILS GUARDED

Washington, January 3l.-An important conferencs was held at the White House today, tt-s part ipapts being the Presi- ! dent Secretary Hay and Secretary cul- lom, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate. The subject un- der discussion was tho status of the Panama canal treaty The situation with regard to the treaty as 1t has developed in the senate is giving the administration and its supporters grave concern.
 The President is exceedingly anxious that the treaty should be ratified at the earliest possible moment. The conference held today was with view of ascertain ing if possible what could be done to hasten consideration of the treaty by the senate. It Is quite certain that the not reassuring An effort is to be made to get the treaty out of committee with favorable report. That the effort will be successful is reasonably certain but then its troubles in the present view of the matter will only have begun. Senator Morgon, chairman of the com mittee on inter- canals, takes the ground that negotiations made by the state department with Mir Herran, rep resenting Colombia, are not valid, as he holds that MT. Herran did not possess the necessary authority to make a treaty binding upon his country and it is un- derstood that he will use his utmost ef- forts to defeat the treaty in its present form. Indeed, the intimation has reach ed the President that when the treaty Is called up for consideration in the senate, amendments will be offered to almost every section of It. Such action. 1t is well understood. will seriously de- lay final action upon 1t. even if 1t should not result in the defeat of its ratifica- tion It is stated definitely that another amendment to the treaty would imperil the entire canal project as the govern ment of Colombia might hesitate to &C., oept amendments made to it. particularly if they involved essential details or prtn- ciples.
 During the conference today the sit uation was considered carefully, but what decision, if any, was reached could not be ascertalned.
 It is known only that an earnest effort Is to be made in the senate to secure ratification of the treaty at the present session.
 MT. Morgan said, in the course of his discussion of the question, that his only purpose was to perfect the treaty so that there would be no trouble in the future. He declared that his interest in the pro- posed canal was as great as it would be if the Nicaragua route had been chosen. He felt, he said. that the document in it's present shape. did not guard details as carefully as 1t should, and he urged his amendments as calculated to accomplish that end
