rotary of war, and United States SEN
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, were the guests of honor
and principal speakers at the annual
dinner of the Home Market club, the
representative Republican organiza-
ton of New England. The occasion
was Of signal interest not only be-
cause at it, as at all meetings of the
Home Market club, were expounded
the principles and policies of the Re.
publican party, but because the
speeches Of Secretary Root and Sena-
tor Lodge were regarded particularly
as the words of the administration
at Washington on the anticipated Is
sues of the next national canvass.
Mr.. Root spoke on the tariff and Mr.
Lodge on the question of Canadian

against the American soldiers in the
Philippines.

To Be Drawn Up Between Yes
ezuela and British, German
and Italian Governments.
PRESENT ONES UNSATISFACTORY
Meeting Has Been Arranged and win
Be Attended by Representatives OF
Allied Powers-ProPosed Amend
ments to Be Discussed.

Washington, April 3.--Work on The
Hague protocols will begin today A
meeting has been arranged for IL
O'Clock at the British embassy, which
will be attended by the diplomatic
representatives of the allied powers
Great Britain, Germany and Italy.
Certain proposed amendments to the
draft of the protocol submitted to the
British ambassador by Mr.. Bowen
have been suggested by the allies and
these will be discussed It is proba
BILE that it will be some days before
a common ground of agreement is
reached.
The amendments to the protocol
were handed to Mr.. Bowen by the
British ambassador, but the former
does not feel at liberty to discuss
them in advance of the meeting. They
have formed the subject of diplomatic
exchanges between the foreign offices
of the allies in Europe for some time
and it is now understood that they
are practically on the basis on which
the protocol should be drawn.
Separate protocols are to be drawn
up between Mr. Bowen, representing
Venezuela, and the British, German
and italian governments, providing
for mixed commissions to sit at Cara
cas- to adjudicate the claims of the
citizens of hose countries against the
South American republic. The proto-
col of Feb, ID, which, in addition 10
sending the question of preferential
treatment TO The Hague, also pro-
vided for such commissions, is unsat-
isfactory on some points, and for this
reason the new agreements are to be
signed. This will be done at the re.
quest of the representatives of the
allied governments.

number of votes for any candidate,
getting SAT for recorder. Major Me
Grew for mavor received 800. A
