Claims Had Been Recognized.

The government of Venezuela itself had
recognized in principle the well founded
ness of their claims, while it had not rec
ognized those of the n-blockading pow
ers, and until the end of January, 1903,
made not the: slightest protests against the
claims for preferential treatment. Through
out the diplomatic negotiations Venezuela
constantly distinguished between the allied
powers and the neutrals. These latter not
having protested against the claims for
preference of the blockadingl powers,
either at the time the war stopped or i'm
mediately after the signature Of the proto-
col of February ID, the government of Ven
ezuela only agreed in respect to the allied
powers to offer special guarantees for the
fulfillment of it's engagements. The good
faith which should direct international re-
lations imposes the duty on the tribunal
of declaring that the, words 'sane claims
employed by the Venezuelan representa-
tives in the negotiations with the repre-
sentative of the allied powers could re-
late only to the latter powers Neutrals
could in some respect profit BIZ the ,circum-
stances created by the operations of the

Victory for Blockading Powers.

victory Tor blockad1ng POWERS.
The decision of The Hague tribunal
amounts to complete victory for the
blockading powers, according to Washing
ton officials to whom the dispatch was
shown. The decision allows the three
blockading powers 80 per cent of the Gus
toms revenues of La Guaira and Puerto Ca
bello, which is all that they asked for and
all that could be allowed them under any
circumstances, in adhering to the rules of
the law of nations. The total claims against
Venezuela, including both preferential and
non-preferential, amount to about $1,000, 600,
subject, however, to increase of from
$1,000 GOO to s. COO COO The claims of the
three blockading powers. Germany, Eng
land and Italy, amount to about S2,O0O,OO0
half of which goes to England. The thirty
per cent of the customs revenues Of La
Guaira and Puerto Cabello will aggregate
about 100000 per annum, thus requiring
two years to pay off the preferential claims.
The Notwithstanding powers, including the
United States, France. Spain, Sweden and
Norway Mexico and Holland, have claims
aggregating, perhaps. $5O00.O00, which will
require five years to liquidate making to-
tai of seven years before Venezuela will be
out Of the debt of the powers, and two
years before payments will begin to the
Notwithstanding powers.
The Propositions Involved.
The three propositions involved. in the
decision of The Hague tribunal, follow:

THE HAGUE DECISION
CLAIMS OF GREAT BRITAIN, GER
MANY AND ITALY.
They Are to Be Given Preference Ac-
cording to the Ruling Of
the Tribunal.

THE HAGUE, February 22.--The arbitra-
ton tribunal, which has been considering
the claims of the blockading powers for
preferential treatment Of their claims
against Venezuela, has decided unanimous
ly that the three blockading powers, Great
Britain, Germany and Italy, have the right
to a preference of 80 per cent Of the GUS
toms duties at Guaira and Puerto Cabello,
the litigants to pay their own costs in the
procedure and divide equally the costs of
the tribunal. The United States is COM
missioned to carry out the decision of the
tribunal within three months.
Basis of Decision.
In giving judgment the tribunal points out
that it has been guided by international
law and the equity of the case, and that the
protocols signed at Washington since Feb
ruary 49, 1903, and particularly the proto-
col of May Z, whereof the obligatory nature
cannot be doubtful, form the legal basis of
It's sentence; that the tribunal is not COM
petent to question the jurisdiction of the
mixed commissions at Caracas, nor to judge
their action or the character of the warlike
operations of the blockading powers, nor to
decide If the three blockading powers ex-
hausted all pacific means to prevent the
necessity of employing force. Is, The tri-
bunal decides that it is only in a position to
certify that since 1901 Venezuela refused
arbitration, proposed on several occasions
by Germany and Great Britain; that after
the war no formal treaty of peace was con-
cluded; that the operations of the block
aders We're stopped before they had received
satisfaction for all their claims, and, fur
ther, that the question Of preferential treat
ment was submitted to arbitration.
The tribunal declares that it found and
recognized in these facts precious evil
dence in favor of the great principle of
arbitration in all phases of international
conflict. In adhering to the protocols, the
blockaders could not have intended to re-
nounce their acquired rights, nor their
privileged de facto position

Russian Minister'S Address.

After the delivery Of the decision Presi-
dent Muravieff 1.-THE Russian minister of
justice), in a short speech. declared that
the findings had been reached after most
minute and most impartial investigation.
Like all human acts, he added, the decision
was susceptible to criticism, but now 1t
was made, everyone should accept it. The
arbitration, begun in times of peace, had
ended amid the sinister acts of war,
which was a terrible obstacle in the path
of light and progress. In spite of all good
will, alas, no one was secure against an
unexpected hostile attack. A nation was
obliged to accept war when the legiti-
mate defense of honor and liberty was in
volved. The just providence which ruled
over battles will distinguish between right
and unfounded pretentiOns. AT the end of
this war between a European and an Ash
attic people, the right will shine out afresh.
The president concluded by saying that
The Hague arbitration tribunal remains al
ways the rampant of justice, truth and rea-
son, and the sublime hope of the future.

AT LEAST 5000 ACRES NECESSARY
Oregon Man Tells How the Establishment of a Beet
Sugar Factory Benefited the Town
Where 1t Was Located.

= The trustees for the sugar beet
plant who have in charge the con-
tracing OF land on which to raise
beets, have opened an office in the
Northern hotel building for the pur-
pose of facilitating the work of secur-
ing contracts with the farmers
throughout the valley. Already $500
azores have been contracted and the
committee hopes to secure enough
acreage within the next 80 days to
bring the amount up to 5000 acres. \
Throughout the arid west where
beet sugar growing has been thor
oughly tested the farmers are all en-
thusiastic over the subject, as it has
been thoroughly demonstrated that no
other crop is as productive in finan-
cial results as it sugar beet growing.
Unlike most localities where factor
les have been established the farmers
of this section have not been asked
to contribute one cent toward build
ing a factory, an item which alone
will cost in the neighborhood OF
$750,0O0. All that is asked of them
is that they enter into a contract to
guarantee the acreage before any
steps are taken toward building the
plant. The contract with the farmers
fixes price for the beets delivered
at the nearest railway station and
the price to be paid for the product is
as high as paid anywhere in the coun-
try.
The Gazette few days ago quoted
from newspapers giving some idea
whata beet culture has done for
northern Colorado, showing the pros
porous condition of the farmers there
who have taken up the culture of the
product. But Colorado is not alone in
the list of prosperous communities
where beet culture has been given 4
thorough trial.
Here is what an Oregon man says
who recently visited the beet fields in
northern Colorado and submitted to
an interview in Colorado newspaper:
Pays to Raise Sugar Beets.
"Mr. E. L. Eckley, a prominent citizen
of La Grande, Ore, who is in the city,
says that the people of the Oregon
town where he resides would hardly
know how to get along without their
beet sugar factory. When the factory
was established there several years

ago by Utah capitalists goodly num-
ber of the La Grande people were
lskeptical as to the plant being of any
particular value to the town and
county. Now nobody there talks that
way. The people fully understand the
value of the sugar making industry in
their midst and would consider them
selves very unfortunate if deprived OF
it.
f"Sugar making at La Grande, Mr.
I&ckley says, has had the effect of
practically doubling the value of farm
lands within easy reach OF that city.
1t gives in addition stable value to
to the land for the reason that the
owner can figure very closely as to
what they can make out of their hold
ings by way of cultivating beets The
town itself is very much benefited by
reason OF the factory on account of the
large amount of money that is dis
| bursed for labor during the growing
and harvesting as we'll as the sugar

''The growers there receive $3.50 per
ton for their product, as against IS Of

Grande say that yield of six tons to
the acre or S27, will pay all the ex-
pense of growing the crop and hauling
to market. AS the average yield OF
beets is about Is tons to the acre this
leases profit of $4,000 per acre with
which the growers are we'll satisfied.
"As one OF the conditions for estab-
fishing the factory at La Grande the
promoters of the enterprise exacted
a bonus in the sum of $4,000 as a
consideration for putting in a plant
with a capacity of $50 tons per day.
The people at first demurred at donat-
ing this large sum of money, but the

individuals to cover the amount OF

pie of La Grande have long since come
to the conclusion that although in a
measure they had to buy the factory

ment they could have made for tho
benefit of their town and surrounding
country"

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Small Chance for Better Trade ReIa.
tions at Present Time.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Walter Well
man, in a spec al from Washington t.
The Pecord-Hereld, says:

!:oth Presiden. Roosevelt ana Secre-
tary Hay are sincerely in favor OF
closer commercial relations with the
Dominion, but both know the difficult
ties that stand in the way, and neither
is sanguine. Those difficulties are the
senate on the one side and Canada on
the other.
In a quiet and unofficial way the
administration has been testing both
the senate and the Canadian govern
ment to ascertain if there is any
ground on which the negotiators can
meet which would afford the slightest
prospect of results.
In view of the abortive ending OF
the last attempt to establish better
and more intimate commercial rela.
tions beaween this country and Great
Britain's largest colony, neither the
Washington government nor the Ot-
tawa cabinet shows any marked inclin-
alton to waste time over a conference

there is marked change of heart on
both sides of the border, failure seems
inevitable, so far as the immediate
future is concerned.
The attitude of Canada is no more
unreasonable than that of the senate,
which is saying all that it is neces-
sary to say. The time has gone by

the president to turn the work over
to disinterested government experts.
1t is said, on good authority, that in
the forthcoming session of congress
a bill will be introduced providing
that the irrigation fund be expended
by political commission of either
five or seven members, and on the
same authority it is said that the
Hansborough DILL is to be pushed in
both houses. This bill, introduced in
the last session, will supplement the
bill just referred to. 1t provides that
all irrigation construction work will
be in charge OF a political engineer,
who is to be paid $4,000 year The
effect of this legislation, if enacted,
will be to remove the secretary of the
interior and the geological survey Of
ficials from their present position OF
administrators of the law.
Back of this demand for a political
commission and a political engineer
is the desire of several of the western
states to have the irrigation fund dis
tributed among the states on the ba-
sis of their respective contributions
to the fund. The law provides that
when practicable the secretary of the
interior must expend within each state
at least so per cent of the money it
has contributed to the fund from the
sale of it's public lands, but he is very
properly clothed with a good deal OF
discretionary power. In some Of the
states there are projects which will
