adjourn practically about the middle
OF last week. The senate suspended
business as usual on Wednesday, and
the house was SO up to date with its
work that it could have adjourned the
same day, but Speaker Walton ordered

OF the Venezuelan controversy. The
whole vcxatious subject will be re.
ferrcd for adjudication to The Hague
tribunal.
Epitomizcd. this was .hc situation as
IL had resolved itself at the conclusion
OF the cabinet meeting yesterday. The
meeting was not so long as the ses-
gions usually arc. All the members
except Secretary Root were present.
The Venezuelan question was the prin.
cipai. and. practically. the only topic
Of general concern under considera-
tiun.
Secretary Hay presented the results
Of his cable correspondence with the
governments at London. Berlin. Rome
and Caracas. In accordance with tho
suggestion made by President Roose-
welt through Secretary Hay, President
Castro was reported to have agreed
to submit the differences to the arbi-
tration Of the tribunal at The Hague.
The European powers not only con.
scented to submit the controversy to
arbitration, but while they had eN.
pressed preference for an arbitration
to be conducted by President Roosc-
welt, he said they had assented to his
suggestion that the matter be referred
to The Hague.

GOVERNOR SCHROEDER REPORTS
CONDITIONS in GUAM ISLAND

United States. It be maie legal tender
also in Guam. in place OF the present
Mexican dollar.
Tho census OF the island. taken last
autumn. shows the total population to
be 9.G76, of whom only forty-six are
foreigners, fourteen being citizens OF
the United States. The latter does not
ilc.ade officers and men OF the navy
or other civil employees temporarily
imported from the United States.
Above the age of seven. forty-six per
cent. of the natives read and write
Spanish. He says the natives sull
continue to refuse to allow their sick
to receive medical attention. but that
conditions are improving. an excess OF
births over deaths being shown Tor
each OF the last two years.
Commander Schroeder says there are
now twenty-four lcpers at Tumon Bay.
The governor recommends improve
ments in facilities for education. and
also that the laws for the government
of the island should be remodeled and
codlfied. The governor says there Is a
desire for United States citizenship
among persons domic.ied In the Is
land. lie calls attention to the case OF
Pedro NJ. Duartc. at present auditor OF
the island. He occupies an anomalous
position. He was an officers In the
Spanish army. resigned after the war
and obtained an acceptance OF renun-
citation of allegiance. The result In
that to-day he Is citizen of no coun-
try.
The governor recommends IN appro-
printion OF about $4,000 for public I'M
movements.

Washington. Dec. 27.-The annual
report of Commander Seaton Schroed-
er. governor OF the island Of Guam.
which is dated July 10th. and which
has Just reached the Navy Department.
indicates rather serious condition In
the islands finances, owing to the
failure OF Congress to appropriate the
sum asked for last year. The receipts
last year were In round numbers $780,
900. and the expenditures $4,000. leav-
ing q balance OF 5000. which. how
ever, IL a decrease OF over $4,000 in
the cash balance for the preceding
year.
This loss is due largely to the unex-
pected expenses incident of over sl0,-
600 in important duties. Commander
Schroeder reports that II has been
deemed prudent to stop all work OF
publlc Improvement until further ap-
propriations shall be made. The value
OF the exports and imports during the
year have been respectively s35. 5.bi9 and
$685. .i65. The exports consisted almost
entirely OF Mexican dollars Not n
pound OF copra has been exported. and
neither cocoa nor coffee has been pro-
duced In sufficient quantities to supply
the home market. owing to the slow
recoyeries from the effects OF the hur-
ricane of 1900. The governor suggests
that II would be great boon II the De-
partment OF Agriculture would cstab-
lish an experimental station In the Is
land.
The governor recommends that II n
