The fight of the State administration
against Senator Spooners retention was
formally begun at Madison, Wis, yes
terday.
George C. Perkins was last night re-
nominated by the republican caucus
of the California legislature as United
States Senator to succeed himself.
By a combination between the repub-
lican anti-Wolcott men and the demo-
Gratis. effected yesterday evening, the
hope of electing E. 0. Wolcott to the
United States Senate from Colorado was
suddenly dashed. The agreement
stipulates that the contest over the
seating of the Arapahoe democrats be
dropped. All the patronage will go to
the republicans who we're not pledged
to Wolcott. The question of success
sor to Teller leaves the race open with
three republicans and two democrats in
the field. Betting favors Alva Adams
for the place. Adams was defeated by
small margin for Congressman-at-
large On the democratic ticket. He is
man of wealth and served two terms
as governor. Teller's chances are slim,
owing to the antagonism of the demo-
Gratis, who are disposed to disregard
the pledge of the State convention to
vote for Teller. p. b. Stewart and
Frank Cloudy are the rival republicans.

Philadelphia, Jan. 8.--The members
of the anthracite strike commission this

promptly at 10 O'Clock, and from now
on morning sessions will be three hours

ANSWERS OF THE POWERS.

The answers of the powers to Presi-
dent Castro's last proposal relative to
arbitration were delivered to President
Castro yesterday afternoon by United
States Minister Bowen. A meeting of
the Cabinet was at once called to con-
slider these communications. 1t is ex-
pected that the Venezuelan answers will
soon be handed to Mr.. Bowen and be
forwarded by him at once to Washing
ton. 1t has been learned from an au-
thoritative source that the answers of
the powers delivered by Mr. Bowen yes
terday afternoon have created a feeling
of depression in Venezuelan government
circles. All sorts of rumors are current
in Caracas concerning President Castro
answer to the communications of the
powers, but none of them is reliable. 1t
can be said upon good authority that Mr.
Bowen does not expect to receive the
Venezuelan answer before today.
A dispatch from Berlin says that por-
ton of the joint reply of the powers to
ftHtLutla ShSSSohnS oeeNe"'N"N
without arbitration only goes 50 far as
to offer to treat for settlement out Of
court after the payment of cash or the
giving of a sufficient guarantee for the
payment of 1886, 900 to each power.
This reservation remains as the fixed
and only condition precedent to arbi-
tration or negotiations direct for sup
Elementary agreement. The German
government would much prefer to close
up the matter by negotiations through
Minister Bowen while the blockade con-
tinues, than withdraw the blockade and
adjust the claims through The Hague
Arbitration Court.
Through the United States Embassy
at Rome the State Department yester-
day received the answer of the Italian
government TO President Castro's prop
osition, and, as was the case with the
British and German answers, Secretary
Hay has forwarded it to Minister Bowen
at Caracas for submission to President
Castro. 1t is stated that the Italian
note is on lines similar to the British
and German notes.

wards drugstore and asked for a glass

whisky bottle and calmly drank the
drug. Presently he fell in heap. On

found pinned small placard bearing
these words; Morphine eases my
agony. Let me sleep. Send my corpse

venezuela Accepts Terms.

Washington, Jan. S.--The State De-
partment today received memorandum
from Minister Bowen at Caracas stating
that Venezuela had accepted in general
terms the conditions for arbitration laid
down by the powers. 1t was officially
admitted at the department this after
noon that the present proposal of the
powers is for conference in Washing
ton. in which Minister Bowen shall act
as the representative of Venezuela, for
the purpose of settling the entire diff
Guilty without further delay. If such a
settlement should prove to be impossible,
the matter will then 60 to The Hague.
The department is greatly encouraged
over the recent developments and earnest
ly hopes that the negotiations now in
progress will result in the final DISPOSE
ton of the affair without the long litiga-
ton that would ensue if the dispute were
to be taken before The Hague.
The governments having claims against
Venezuela are endeavoring now 10 secure
a settlement with President Castro with
out referring the dispute to The Hague.
Germany particularly objected to The
Hague on account of the cumbersome
ness of its machinery and the necessarily
long time that would be required for
adjudication of the claims by that tribu-
nal. Both England and Germany would
prefer to arrange the whole affair by
diplomatic negotiations through Minister
Bowen at Caracas.

cerman Oner TO Buy Canal.

Chicago Jan. S.-The Tribune this
morning publishes the following dispatch
dated London, Jan, S.-"The Washing
ton correspondent of the Daily News
states on what he claims is unquestion-
able authority that the Panama canal
company has received German offer to
buy for $40, 900, 900 all the company's
rights and concessions if the United
States does not exercise its option, which
expires March 4th. The correspondent
says that he further learns that the Ger
man Government has offered to buy
Colomba's shares in the Panama Canal
Company, agreeing to take them at par
in full liquidation of all German claims
against Colombia.
'The German view of the right to build
to the canal without violating the Mon
roe doctrine is that the Colombian con-
stitution is not alienated nor the soyer-
eighty thereof transferred to foreign
government. Therefore, if German
capital builds the canal, neither Ger
many nor individual Germans acquire
sovereignty in Colombia or perpetual oc-
cupation of Colombian territory.
Furthermore the United States in not
opposing the French company in build
ing the canal, established a precedent
that such building is not regarded as a
violation of the Monroe doctrine, for
which reason the United States would
have no justification in interfering with
Germany completing the French COM
pany's work."
Washington, d. c., Jan. SIN Off
cial circles here it is admitted this morn
ing that there is foundation for the state
ment that Germany is endeavoring to
euchre the United States out of the con-
troll of the Panama canal. German in
trigue in behalf Of these German capital
lists, it is believed here, is responsible
for Colombia's delay in negotiating a
treaty with the United States whereby
this country would secure control Of the
canal.
Whether the Monroe doctrine would
prevent the completion of the Panama
canal by foreign corporation is a ques-
ton to which no satisfactory answer can
be obtained at this time. If the Ger
man government should openly under
take the work, it would undoubtedly be
sufficient cause for interference by the
United States, because it would involve
permanent acquisition of Colombian ter
ritory. But if the German government
is hiding behind the guise of private
corporation working under the name of
the New Panama Canal Company, which
is already in possession, it is doubtful
whether the Monroe doctrine could be
involved.
