VENEZUELAN PORTS OPENED.
Minister Bowen Reports That Condi-
tions Are Becoming Satisfactory.

tions Are Becoming Satisfactory.
From Minister Bowens reports it appears
that conditions in Venezuela are reaching
a most satisfactory basis. He cables that
by decree just issued the government has
opened the ports of Guanta, Sucre and
Guiria, which have been closed for many
months as result of the revolutionary
disturbances.
Mr.. Bowen also reports that the Vene-
zrelan government has just paid the over
due allotments1 on account of the award
of the Venezuelan mixed claims commission
Of 1880. This installment amounts to about
$17O0O, and is~overdue between two aDd
thI ee years.
The various arbitration commissions
which have been In session at Caracas for
the past six months have nearly all COM
pleted their labors, and 1t will be possible
for the Venezuelan government to begin
the settlement of the claims allowed
promptly upon the announcement Of the
result of The Hague arbitration, which will
determine the order in which the claims are
to be paid, namely, on a pro rata division
between all the powers concerned, or with
preference to the blockading powers
In announcing the success of Minister
Bowen In securing the opening of the ports
of Sucre and Guiria, the State Department
offlcials called attention to the importance
of this, the latest diplomatic achievement
OF MT. Bowen. 1t was only few weeks
ago that Mr.. Bowen reported to the de-
partment the satisfactory preliminary ar
rahgements for the settlement of the
asphalt cases. 1t is pointed out at the de-
partment that Mr.. Bowen's work since his
return to Caracas shows that he has even
increased his grip upon the officials and
people of that country. and he will receive
from the department a letter commencing
him for his work.

ed In Day or Two,

The State Department has had an inti-
nation that the Russian reply to Secre-
tary Hays note relative to the neutraliza-
ton Of China will be forthcoming in the
course of a day or two. The Russians at

adverse to their interests, but it is now
stated that they have come to take an
other view of the matter, and are entirely
willing to accept the American proposition.

safeguarding the very important interests
that Russia has acquired in Manchuria in
connection with the Siberian railroad and
it's branches and the considerable ports and
inland towns that have been developed at
Russian expense in conneEtion with the
great railroad project. Itsis understood
that the validity Of these interests will be
admitted by the cooperating powers AS
for japan, while her acceptance of Secre-
tary Hays proposition was also coupled
with condition, 1t is admitted that this
was legitimate, being nothing more than a
requirement that Russia be bound equally
with Japan in the observation Of neutrality

Maryland House Of Delegates Request:
Senatorial Aid by Resolution.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
STATE HOUSE. ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb
ruary 1S.-Delegate Feaga of Anegany
county today introduced in the house Of
delegates the following joint resolution in
regard to the Panama canal question:
Whereas President Roosevelt has with
patience, firmness and ability, endeavored
to hasten the digging of the Panama canal,
and has been hindered by the extraordinary
action Of the United States of Colombia so
unjust to the people of Panama that the
state of Panama has revolted and formed
the republic of Panama, and that republic
has been recognized by nearly all the ma
tions Of the earth and recognized by the
United States, which has sent Minister
Buchanan to Panama after the confirma-
uon of his appointment by the Senate: and
Whereas the United States has made
treaty with the republic of Panama grant
Ing us ample rights to dig the isthmian
canal forthwith. and while this treaty is
perding the United States is already under
obligations arising out of it's terms and
out of the terms of the treaty of 1916 with
New Granada. and
Whereas it becomes important to avoid
war and to put an end to the uprisings on
the isthmus by which the United States
under its obliga ton to keep open the transit
OF the isthmus is liable to incur new obli-
cations and new perplexities wherefore .he
speedy ratification of the treaty between
the United States and Panama becomes
the highest duty of the Senate of the
United States in our opinion, and
Whereas the excavation of the isthmian
canal at Panama Is an obligation to cIvili
Zation which our country has solemnly un-
dertaken which is not only Of great bene-
fit to the whole Union. but especially 10
the south, and most directly to Maryland
and Baltimore. the principal city of the
SOUTH therefore.
Be it resolved by the general assembly
of Maryland. that the senators of the
United States from Maryland are hereby
requested to vote for the rat-
fication of the HayBunau-Varilla treaty,
SO that speedily the Panama canal may be
constructed.

Cleveland fighting ''monopolistic greed"
when he has been reviled by his own party
with the charge that he betrayed his party
to Wall street, and when the dislike Of him
by democrats was engendered by his al
legged leanings toward the monopolistic
classes.
The republicans say they have Mr.. Cleve-
land on the hip whenever he talks about
trusts. They point to the Sherman law,
which was alive when he was in office and
his party in power, but which was not in
voked until republican administration
came in.
His Closing Paragraph.
All who read his article were keenly alive
to the gentle yet poignant insinuation in it's
closing paragraph:
1.-The 'democracys opportunity is already
In sight. but only in a campaign waged in
reliance upon the peoples love of coun-
try and devotion to national morality, un-
