WILL ARB|TRATE At HAGUE
THE DISPUTE TO BE SETTLED
THERE.
This Is the Decision of the Cabinet
and President RooseveIt-the Diff
ferent Powers Have Agreed to the
Plan-Britsh Government not much
Pleased-Newspepers Speak.

Observation-Disclosures of the
disputes between Venezuela and Great
Britain, Venezuela and Germany, Ven
ezuela and Italy, Venezeula and Spain
and Venezeula and other nations will
be entrusted to The Hague tribunal.
This decision was practically arrived
at at a meeting of President Rosse-
welt and cabinet.
Meanwhile the blockade of Venezu-
ella will be continued by German and
British war vessels until some decis-
ion or agreement is reached by her
foes. 1t is hoped they will soon call
off the blockade.
London.-Except by the opponents
of the government, who view it as d
virtual defeat and as discrediting the
ministery, the latest phase of the Vene-
zuelan trouble has been welcomed very
lukewarmly. Arbitration by President
Roosevelt has been anticipated as so
desirable an issue from a difficult bus
mess that his refusal, which is re-
garded as final, has caused keen dis
Appointment. 1t is fOreseen that, even
if satisfactory conditions to the sub
mission of the disputes to The Hague
court can be arranged, this method will
entail endless and wearisOme details,
with no assurance that at the end
President Castro still will be in power,
or Venezuela in the mood to abide by
the decision of The Hague. In short,
the element of guarantee which would
have accompanied President Roose-
velt's acceptance of the Office of arbi-
traitor is now lacking.
At the same time it is readily adj
mitted that from the American point
of view President Roosevelt has acted
wisely in declining to act
The foregoing represents the gener-
al drift of newspaper comment this
morning. The only paper which real
ly welcomes the decision to refer the
Venezuelan matter to The Hague is
the radical Daily News, which sees a
e chance of making arbitration once
more a reputable theory, paying a
: tribute to the GOODNESS of President
l Roosevelt and the correct attitude Of
the United States during this "sorry
= business"
! The Daily News says: "The Vene
) zuelan crisis has done much to en-
nance Mr.. Roosevelt's reputation, an;
7 to bring home to Englishmen the es
S sential friendliness of the American
i people"
2 The Daily Mail, in a violent attacl
upon the government, says:
THUS ends perhaps the most in
S glorious episode in which Great Brit
e ain has engaged in recent years."

night was the coolest of the season,
the thermometer registering "a here

previous warm weather had kept the

some sections, and it may have been
harmed.

TRADE REPORT.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S Week
ly Review of Trade last week says:
Trade and speculation experienced
the customary holiday quiet, except in
Christmas goods, which sold freely,
many packing and shipping depart
ments being still engaged on this class
of work, which could not be complet-
ed at the specified time. Industrial
undertakings are interrupted in many
cases by the taking Of inventories,
while other plants are closed because
fuel cannot be obtained. Orders still
come forward freely and the new year
will open with more business on the
cooke than ever before. Prices of
commodities are firmly held by the
steady domestic demand and there is
good export movement of the lead
ing staples. In this, as in many other
instances, however, there is still
drawback Of inadequate transportation
facilities which restrict shipments 10
the seaboard. Financial conditions are
satisfactory.
An unexpected favorable feature has
appeared in the market for cotton
goods.
Failures for the week numbered 200
in the United States, and 81 in Canada.

attracted national attention by his ad-
vocacy of free silver, the voice of John
Z. Jones, of Nevada. was often heard
proclaiming the imagined advantages
of a white metal currency and demand
ing the enactment of laws favorable to
it. He had studied the money question
deeply, had taken part in monetary con-
ferences, and, as owner of silver mines
in the West, he could see but one side
of the argument as to the relative mer
its of the white and yellow metals.
Jones is one of the luckiest and richest
men in the Senate. He is a native Of
Wales, but was only a year old when
his parents settled in Ohio. where he
grew up. The California gold fever of
1S49 caught him, and he went to the
Pacific slope. When the silver strikes
were made in Nevada he went over into
the Midget State and got his share OF
it's vast wealth. He had been sheriff,
legislator and candidate for lieutenant
governor, and when he felt that his for
tune was secure he took kindly to the
suggestion that he become a Senator,
and he has, since 1873, been a member
of the upper house.

eran, has not been conspicuously identi
