Bowen Wants Quick Work.

Washington, Feb. 24.-A feature of the protocol for sending the question of preferential treatment to The Hague as proposed by MT. Bowen is that the court of arbitration Is to begin the considera- ton of the question on the first of September and that it's decision shall be rendered within six months.
 The court, he proposes, shall decide when, how and by whom the costs of the arbitration are to be paid. The pre- sumption is by the first of next Septem- ber all the mixed commissions which are to sit at Caracas and adjudicate the claims of the various nations will have passed on all the claims presented.
 The claims of some of the nations are small. one of them being as low as S20 0G0 and the suggestion Is that The Hague court. in view of this fact. may pro-rate the charges incidental to the arbitration according to the amount of the claims allowed instead of assessing each one an equal amount. MT. Bowen thinks tha t the proceedings before the court should be short and simple and believes in limit ing the legal representations to very few number of persons.
 MT. Bowen has received dispatch from Caracas dated today saying the German commander had returned to Venezuela yesterday the warship Restaurador which had been taken during the blockade. He also has been informed that the Germans and Italians had returned to the Vene- zuelans various small vessels fishing smasks, etc, captured during the block ade

COMPLIMENT TO GEAR
MAY BE ASKED TO NAME THE
 HAGUE COURT.
Regarded as Certain That the Powers Who Have Gains Against Venezuea Will Agree to
 This Arrangement.

Washington, Feb. 24.-In diplomatic circles the announcement of the proposed compliment to the Czar in connection with the Venezuelan affairs is subject of com ment tonight. It is proposed that he select the personnel of The Hague court to adjudicate claims against Venezuela. The allies have not yet signified their acceptance of the suggestion. but this Is regarded as well nigh certain.
 Comte Cassini, the Russian Ambassador will not be officially informed of the fact until all the powers have agreed to tha suggestion, when he will be asked to pre- sent the investigation to his soveregn. The Ambassador evidently was pleased on hearing of this renewed evidence of friendship for his country on the part of the United States and expressed his ap- preciation of the courtesy of MT. Bowen in suggesting the Czar for this important duty.
 ''I can only say" the Ambassador said Press. that his majesty will deeply ap- preciate the compliment which MT. Bowen has proposed. As the parent of The Hague tribunal, his majesty has all along watched with gratifying interest the sup port the great peace court has received from the United States for whose presi- dent and people he cherishes the friend Hest esteem and regard"
 At the French Embassy an officer sug- gested that 1t was an especially appro- priate tribute to the founder of The Hague Tribunal that he be invited to select the personnel of the court which will pass on the first case to be sub mitted to 1t by the European powers.

CURRENT COMMENT,

So far the assertion that members of
congress are not satisfied with their
salaries, is merely a general rumor
which no member of congress seems
willing to father.-Chicago Tribune.
Look out for the word "news paperi-
ety." 1t was coined by accident the
other day, but seems to fill long left
want and is likely to be adopted into
the Observation-Disclosures Inquirer.
Just now business Of the promoters
Is at low ebb. After all is said and
done good mortgages and the savings
banks are the only safe investments
for those of limited means.-Wilming-
ton News.
Lord Alverstone has done one of
those great services to righteousness
and humanity which advance the NOR
al standard Of mans time. The ter
ritory involved is trivial by the side of
this momentous moral triumph shared
by the representatives of the English
speaking race on both sides.-Philadel-

Transparent black over white is i'm

There is no doubt that violet, mauve

they did in the spring and summer.
The handsomest gowns are hand
made, or at least so covered with hand
work as to give the impression of hav-
ing been literally built up with needle
work.
Hats are being made Of materials
used in street gowns. These are usual
~ faced with velvet Of the same color.
Zibelines and all kinds of shaggy and
fuzzy materials are used. The trim
