ALLIES COURSE
IS OFFENSIVE
Bowen's Ultimatum, Refusing
Compromise, May Arouse
England's Disapproval
MAY APPEAL TO HAGUE TRIBUNAL

Conference Yesterday Was n Highly
Dramatic Affair, at Which Mr.. Bowen
Plainly Stated His Regret and Sur
prise at the Action Of the Allies.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Mr Bowen's
firm refusal of the allies proposition to
give them two-thirds of the Venezuela
customs to set aside for the payment of
her debts and his practical ultimatum
to submit the question of preferential
treatment to The Hague Court has
brought about a situation of great ten
sion in the Venezuelan imbroglio Just
how it will end is difficult to predict.
Much will depend on the character Of
the allies answer and the way it is de-
livered. Both sides appear TO be grad
ually losing their tempers. It is hoped
that pressure brought against the Brit
ish government because of a long, dis
tasteful alliance with Germany may
ease the situation.

Union hepublicans Say That Action OF
the judiciary Committee Will Have
No Effect on the Delaware Senatorial
Situation-Late Legislative News.
Special to the Evening Journal.
Dover Feb. 3.--UniOn Republicans
here insist that the failure of the
Judiciary Committee Of the United
States Senate to confirm the appoint
ment Of District Attorney William
Michael Byrne, will have no effect on
the Delaware senatorial situation. They
say that such an action is a blow to
them, but express the opinion that the
President, out of fairness to Byrne,
would wait until after the Senate ad-
iourns and then appoint him during a
recess.
Legislation was interfered with to
slight extent yesterday by the pres
ence Of lobby in the interests Of nom
inee John Biggs, of the Democratic
caucus, for senator. 1t was represented
that the Biggs men had assurances
from enough Regular Republicans to
elect Biggs to the short term senator
ship. if the Democrats would only stand
by him on the floor of the House.
The Democrats varied their vote to-
day. They deserted Black and Biggs as
they did Salisbury and Kenney and
gave their preference to Willie M. Ross
Of seaford. and Peter j. Ford, of Will
mingtOn.
The vote in detail was as follows;
Long Term

Willie M. Ross, 21.

How Trees Cool the Air.

We think Of tree as cooling agent
because its shade protects us from the
heat of the sun, but it cools the air In
another way that is not generally
known; in fact, it cools the air around
it as a lump of ice cools vessel of
water.
The tree has a body temperature Of
about 40 degrees, just as we have
a body temperature Of SO degrees.
which is not affected by outside int1u-
ences. 1t is the trees blood heat, so
to speak. So that the air around it Is
cooled by the tree itself as well as by
the shade it makes.
When a tree in full leaf is struck by
q strong wind we wonder that it is not
torn all to pieces. And so it would be
but for the way the limbs and twigs
are arranged by nature. That arrange
ment is such that the effect of the
wind is broken. for the limbs sway and
move in hundred directions instead
of one, and the force of the blast Is so
scattered that it is comparatively
harmless.
If the limbs all moved at once in the
same direction no tree could escape
being torn apart.

Bevins tumble In picking up the
same, but died trying to steal the
hone plate, a very trying expert
ment at this time of the year.
Philpot hit safe, and took second
on Bevins' tumble In picking up
the same, third on Williams out at
home.
Westerman hit to third and took
first on the play that threw Will
liams out at the home plate. He
stole second and both he and Phil
pot came home on little fly by
Coss back of the short stop, but
which certainly from tie grand
stand seemed to be In hts field.
no one got near 1t however, and
two runs were scored for Woods
field, tying the score.
The boys settled down at that
point, and prevented any more runs
that inning, and the third ended
with the score tie, and every one
on the anxious bench.
In the fourth Sistersville was re-
tired In one-two-three order, and
1t took just four Of Pats balls to
stop the other side.
It was then getting warm.
In the fifth Gunion went out
third to first, Sweeney to second
and Bero to third, and the crowd
settled down to see what the Mon.
roe lads would do. They did not
have long to walt. Philpot went to
fist on a bad throw by Bero, but
was caught at second by those eagle
eyes and strong right arm OF Gun-
ions. Westerman took first on
Saladine's tumble, second on
Rimenschneider's sacrifice and
home on Coss' hit. Peters struck
ont, and with the score three to
two that little bunch of patriots at
the top OF the grand stand made
things howl for Monroe. The

In the sixth a hit by either side
did no good.
In the seventh, however, the re.
ward came to the faithful. Bevins
took first on little bunt that set
the gang wild and reminded them
of Goat" Anderson. He took
second on passed ball and third
on neat hit by Charley Gunion
that set the grand stand In a Juror.
"Cat BYE" stole second. With one
man onssecond and one OH third,
Sweeney met a good one square on
the nose and landed on second base,
scoring both Bevins and Gunion.
He took third on an error and
came home on Outcalt's sacrifice.
Clintworth then ended the inning
and the score stood five to three In
Our favor, and they might have
heard the crowd yell clear to
Woodsfeld.
That ended the run.getting for
the game.
In the ninth the first triple
play of the season was made.
Gunion took first on error of the
second basemen, went to third on
Sweeney's second two base hit OF
the game. With a man on third
and one on second and none out, 1t
certainly looked like some more
scores. But Bero shot hot one to
Coss who caught 1t, ran to third
and caught Gunion before he could
return to the bag and threw to
second In time to do the same thing
to Sweeney-one of the prettiest
triple plays ever seen any where
and which elected rounds of ap.

In the ninth, Mann went out,
Adamson to Outcalt and Joost to

the best games seen on the HON :

CATHOLIC CLERGY
EXPECT CHANGES
Five New Archbishops
Are Probable Before
End Of Year.
Likelihood Of New Method Of
Appointing Bishops Be-
ing Adopted.
Special Dispatch to The can

NEW YORK, Jan. MANY important
changes are forecasted among the Roman
Catholic hierarchy for the new year and q
radical change Of policy in their selections
by authorities al Rome. There may be at
the end Of 1903 no lessdhan five new Arch
bishops. as Well as several additions and
changes among diocesan bishops The
date on which Archbishop Farley will re-
ceive the Dallium is as vet uncertain. 1t
is not thought that the consistory ar
which it viii be granted will be held much
before March. when one win be summoned
as part Of the preiiminaries of the Pope's
5ubilee
Catholic circles meanwhile are agitated
over this news from Rome that important
changes are 10 be made in the future Sc
lection OF bishops for the United States
and that there has been a revival of the
efforts Of Herr Cahensly TO secure the ap-
pointmeut Of German candidates for va
can't sees. 1t is reported that hereafter
'ale authorities in Rome VIII give more
consideration than ever TO the selection Of
American bishops and that coadjutor bish-
ops with Tight OF succession Will now be
named in place Of auxiliary.
Cardinal Gotti. Prefect OF the Propagan-
ca. is man OF action and has the help Of
Cardinals SstOlli and Martinelh, both well
informed on the personal merits of men,
bers Of the church in the United States.
From this aud other reasons the opinion
has developed here that men compare tive
ly young viii be preferred. including
Archbishops Farley and Quigley. The up
per house OF the hierarchy will probably
receive five new mem bers.
Archbishop kain of St. Louis must take
q coadjutor. Archbishop Elder of Cincin-
nat has just received from Rome the
sanction of an election for coadjutor and
on December - the Bishops of Dubuque
and Providence met and resolved TO send
a petition 10 Rome that a Western arch
diocese be created. with Omaha the met
ropolitsn see and Bishop Scannell as its
archbishop. a new bishop also viii prob
ably be created, with a diocese at Dss
Aoines. For the choice in vacancies at
Buffalo and Cincinnati there is a large
German element TO be considered and here
the first reference 10 Cshenslyism appears.
