DENIED ev GERMANS.
Placed No Obstacles in Way Of Ven
ezueian Settlement.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE foreign Office
stacles to the signing of the German
add that a comparatively unimportant
question of detail has been referred
to Berlin, but that the signing will
occur in few days. First Great Brit
aims protocol will be signed and then
the protocols of Germany and Italy.
London, Feb. 1.-THE officials of
the German embassy here say that no
new difficulties regarding the Venezue
Ian settlement have arisen so far as
Germany is concerned They add that
what is now under discussion consists
solely of the German and Italian con-
tentions regarding the claims admit
ted by Venezuela prior to the present
disturbance to be valid and which it
is contended it would be absurd to
submit to The Hague court of arbitra-
tion. From the commencement of the
negotiations Germany refused to arbi-
trate these first line claims and their
inclusion in the protocol created dis
cussion, which the embassy officials
do not consider to be a bar to set
tlement, though it causes delay. Ger
many and Italy were fully satisfied
with the cash guarantee and are stip-
ulating nothing remotely connected
with Monroeism. Great Britain's first
line claims are apparently not sim.
liar to those Of Germany and Italy,
but these two countries have the ap.
proval of the British government in
their present attitude.
Some uneasiness exists regarding
Minister Bowen's powers to bind the
government of Venezuela. The allies
have consulted the state department
at Washington on this subject, but no
answer has yet been received.

grams for the excursionists, and an
excellent trip is anticipated. Prior

alton will hold a two days business

Thu season of forest fires has gone

and timber land owners, says the
Pacific Lumber Trade Journal. In
eontradistmction to last year the

has IRE been allowed to get beyond
control. California has not been 50

i.ANSA's PRESIDENTIAL BOON.

Although Senator Hanna has repeat
edly announced that he Is not a candi-
date for the nomination for the presi-
sency next year. he is being put for
ward as candidate by his party
friends. despite his efforts to keep out
Of the race OF course. no one would
refuse such nomination II rendered and
Senator Hanna will not sidestep to get
cut OF the way of a winning boom in
his favor.
The plain truth Of the matter might
as well be told right now. Mr.. Roose-
welt Ia greatly admired by most peo-
pie, and he is well thought of in the
ranks Of his own party. but he has ex-
hibited youthful strenuosity that
conservative heads have never before
Witnessed coming from president of
the United States. While. fortunately,
this has not apparently compromised
republican principles, nor placed the
nation In an lnenviable position, it has
seriously interfered with party organi-
xation in many quarters, particularly
In the south. and in some western
states. This may appear trivial TO the
casual observer who votes and takes
no further interest in politics. but it
Is decidedly far-reachlng and has an
important bearing. And one need not
90 very far into the realms Of party
organization 10 find a feeling akin to
that Of proprietor of very fine
China shop who has an unwelcome Wis
itor inside in the nature of mad bull.
1t is also noticeable that Senator
Hanna has grown rapidly in public es-
timation. Instead Of being very bad
republican with horns, he has proved a
very .kind-hearted. diplomatic and
honorable gentleman OF splendid abil-
ity who is as safe as the rock of Glib
raltar At each succeeding election in
ohio.the people have added fresh evi-
dences of their confidence in him.
Democrats as well as republicans have
kind words for Senator Hanna.
