Want More Waoes.

st. Louis Feb. 6.--Nice President and
General Manager Allen, of the katy
road has been in session all day with
of trainmen who made
a demand for an increase of 10 per cent
In wages. A thousand employees are
concerned in the deliberations ana
something definite is expected before
night. Grand Master Morrisy OF the
trainmen today issued statement de-
Tending the position Of the trainrnen, In
which he. says:
I'VE have heard about the effect the
granting of the increase would have on
the financial future of the road. but 1t
is worthy of the careful consideration
of those handling the properties what
effect refusal will have on the value
of stock
Later-Manager Allen stated this af-
ternoon that the trouble had been set
tied and there would be no strike.
Grand Master Morrissey, after con-
ference with the railway officials SAID:
Our demands We're conceded, the
freight men getting an advance of 10
per cent and the passenger men II
per cent" There is an understands
ing between the other four roads that

MAY APPEAL TO PRESIDENT.
Allies Likely to Again Ask Roosevelt
Ia Arhitrate.

washington, Feb. 6.--Irritated by the
note of Minister Bowen, addressed to
the British ambassador on Monday, re-
fusing to accept the allies proposition
for a preferential payment, the allies
have instructed their representatives
here to submit the question of prefer
entail treatment for settlement to Pres
tdent Roosevelt, and in the event that
he declines to act as arbitrator, TO take
the Venezuelan question to The Hague
tor settlement thereby breaking Off all
negotiations With Bowen.
The British ambassador will preside
at a conference OF the allies today.
In the meantime he expects to have
an interview with the secretary of
state. whom he will sound as to the
probability of the presidents accept
ance OF the allies request. II 1t Is
found that the president is not disposed
10 allow himself to be dragged into
che negotiations, the instructions of
Che allies are such as to permit them
20 forego the embarrassment of re-
fection at the hands of Roosevelt, ane
instead of making known their wishes
60 him, steps will be taken to draw UP
n protocol with Bowen for reference
Of the case to The Hague, as suggested
~ him in his note Of Monday. Whether

President Roosevelt will accept the
invitation of the allies is not known.
An official of the administration ex-
pressed surprise tonight that the allies
are willing to submit this question to
President Roosevelt, in view of the fact
that their representatives in the last
few days have informed them by cable
that the president views with disfa-
vor the contention of the allies for
preferential treatment
There is the best of authority for
the statement that neither Great Brit
ain or Germany is desirous of sub
miting their case to The Hague. What
ever procedure may be made under
the new instructions from the allies,
1t is understood that upon the submis-
sion of the matter. either to the presi-
dent or to The Hague, the blockade
Will be raised at once.
1t developed that .!uring the call of
Count Quadt, first secretary of the Ger
man embassy, upon Bowen yesterday.
the latter announced his willingness to
make Germany and Italy cash payments
of S12T.000 each. This was the effect
of Bowen's action in the early part OF
the negotiations in conceding Great
Britain similar amount for the satis-
faction of the alleged indignities which
the British government claimed its
citizens have suffered in Venezuela. 1t
is intimated that France might now ask
for the same cash payment for herself
as that given the allies.

MA YREcovER LOST SENSES.
Knoxville Child Vet Has Some Hope Of
Recovery.

Des Moines. Feb. "a number of
physicians made a preliminary exami-
nation of Eva Steen yesterday. They
found that instead Of being deaf, she
has a supersensitive ear and loud noises
cause her terror. Not being deaf she
can not be sent to the Council Bluffs in
stitution. Preliminary tests also indi-
cate that the optic nerve and other
parts of the eye are ii! right. The con-
clusion is reached that the loss of sight
and speech is due to a brain defect. II
this conclusion is verified Mr.. Cownis
says she can be kept at Glenwood at the
expense of the state.

Queer Sort of Arbitration.

WashingtoS, Feb. 6.-An official of
the Washington government upon
learning of the intention of the allies to
appeal to President Roosevelt in the
matter of preferential treatment, made
the point that if the allies appeal to
the president without first consulting
Bowen and gaining his consent, Venez-
uela will follow with the claim that her
rights are now being trampled on, and
unless her permission is gained. will
certainly not consent to the powers
naming the arbitrator of this vital
question. In the event that the matter
goes to The Hague. the allies will only
be accepting the proposition made by
Bowen in his ultimatum last Monday.
Baron Sternburg had half hours
conference with Bowen last night
Neither would he make statement at
the conclusion of the conference.
