ed the prince Of orators, and
though they tell as that oratory is
on the decline, and that the maya

siye- and the audience felt the
force Of all these inauences.-New

A DEMAND ON VENEZUELA
United States Viii Firmly Call At
tentiom to Delay in ASPHALT Case.

Washington. Dec. S.-venezuela's attention
will again be called In very firm manner to the
disappointment this government feels at the
continued delay in the decision by the Supreme
Court of Venezuela in the case of an American
asphalt concern which has been pending for a
long time.
The dissatisfaction OF this country with affairs
in Venezuela is shared by the powers of Europe.
Great Britain, France and Italy. perhaps more
than the others, are having serious troubles with
their claims. their commerce and their citizens
The European powers. realizing the delicacy of
the situation which would be created by force
full collection by them OF their claims hesitate to
act They would prefer that the American gov
eminent bring Venezuela TO a realization OF her
shortcomings
The policy of this government will not be an
nounced for the present The State Department
is acting with all the patience 1t can command,
and the American Legation at Caracas will
again endeavor TO obtain at least intimation
regarding the probable date of decision In the
asphalt case. This decision may or may not
leave the way clear for the consideration of
grievances equally important.

ARBITRATION GAINING.
Progress Made on Treaties vith
Great Britain and Spain.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Secretary Hay and Sir
Mortimer Durand. the British Ambassador, con-
ferred to-day On the Anglo-American arbitra-
ton treaty which they negotiating No
date has been fixed for the signing of the con-
vention. but the negotiations are proceeding IN
a manner entirely satisfactory to the London
and Washington governments 1t can be said
that while not identical in wording with the
American-French treaty the treaty with Great
Britain will not differ in substance from the
other arbitration treaties already negotiated.
The difference in phraseology will be confined
almost exclusively to the preamble. and the
effect of the convention WILL be the same that
of the others
Spain, through her minister at Washington,
Senior Ojeda, has accepted the American invita-
ton TO conclude arbitration treaty. and Sec
rotary Hay and the Minister are now going
over the first draft. Spain's acceptance was
exceeding cordial, and the negotiations promise
TO make rapid progress.
