THE BLOCKADING POWERS
ARE GIVEN THE PREFERENCE
Decision of The Hague Tribunal Rem
in the Matter of Venezuela.
Rendered

their privileged de facto position. The
government of Venezuela had itself
recognized in principle the we'll
foundedness of their claims, while it
had not recognized those of the nom
blockading Powers, and until the end
of January, 1903, made not the slight
est protests against the claims for
preferential treatment. Throughout
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 block
aiding Powers, either at the time the
war stopped or Immediately after the
signature of the protocol of Feb. 10, the
government of Venezuela only agreed
in respect to the allied Powers to Of
fer special guarantees for the fulfil
ment of its engagements.
The good faith which should direct
international relations imposes the duty
on the tribunal of declaring that the
words "all claims" employed by the
Venezuelan representative in the nego-
tiations with the representatives of the
allied Powers, could relate only to the
latter Powers. Neutrals could in some
respect profit by the circumstances
created by the operations of the war
without acquiring new rights, the
rights already acquired remaining alb
solutely intact.
In the decision the United States are
charged merely to supervise the carry
ing out of the decision regarding costs.

pletion OF the South Carolina State

an arraignment of the Joint Investi-
eating Committee appointed to investi-
gate the work, whose report created
a sensation two weeks ago 1t is shown
by afiidavits that two members of the

of going before the Investigating Com
mittee one of them, Mr.. G. Duncan

ing this request three times.

Committee were held behind closed

time. Witnesses We're asked not to
say what questions had been asked
them. Senator ]. Q. Marshall of Rich
land was the only member of the old
commission admitted to the sessions.
The whole investigation is denounced.
The commission asserts that. while
the building may have some defects,
they were well pleased with the gem
raj result of the work, and that they
are still satisfied with 1t, and that the
people have received full value for the
money expended. over $2,000,000 having
been expended on the old portion of the
building. il would have been the hight
of folly to expect them, with the APP
preparation OF $175000. to carry out the
design of the original architect who
contemplated a 5O00.0 900 building.
The work as a whole, the commits
sion asserts, is well done, and the roof.
which was said to be leaSy, was given
a practical test before this part of the
work was accepted. The ceiling in the

Pneumonin in Chicago.

Over 5000 people died of pneumonia
in Chicago last year. In every case the
disease resulted from a cold. Had the
cold been promptly and properly treat
ed at the outset almost everyone would
have recovered. This statement is
abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands through
out this country who use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to cure their
colds, no case of pneumonia has ever
been reported, which shows conclusive
ly that this remedy is a certain pre-
ventive of pneumonia. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy has gained its wide
reputation and enormous sale by the
prompt and effectual cures of colds and
can always be depended upon. For
sale by all druggists.

The Hague, sFeb. 22.-The arbitra-
ton tribunal, which has been consid-
,ering the claims of the blockading pow
claims against Venezuela, has decided
unanimously that the three blockading
powers, Great Britain, Germany and
Italy, have the right to a preference
of 30 per cent. of the customs duties
at LaGuaira and Puerto Cabello, the
litigants to pay their own costs in the
procedure, and divide equally the costs
of the tribunal. The United States
are commissioned to carry out the de-
cision of the tribunal within three
months.
In giving judgment the tribunal
points out that 1t has been guided by
international law, and the equity of
the case and that the protocols signed
at Washington since, Feb. 10, 1903, and
particularly the protocol of May Z,
whereof the obligatory nature cannot
be doubtful, form the legal basis of
its sentence; that the tribunal is not
competent to question the jurisdiction
of the mixed commissions at Caracas,
nor to judge their action of the charac-
ter of the warlike operations of the
blockading powers, nor to decide if
the three blockading powers exhaust
ed all pacific means to prevent the
necessity of employing force.
The tribunal decides that it is only
in 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 concluded;
that the operations of the blockaders
were stopped before they had receiv-
ed satisfaction for all their claims.
and further. that the question of pre-
ferential treatment was submitted to
arbitration. The tribunal declares that
1t found land recognized in these facts
precious evidence in favor of the great
principal of arbitration in all phases
of international conflict.
In adhering to the protocols the
blockaders could not have intended to
renounce their acquired rights, nor

official of the State Department. when
shown the press dispatch relative to
the decision in the Venezuelan arbi-
tration, stated that while the depart
ment regretted exceedingly the prece-
dent which The Hague tribunal had
made in this case, there was nothing
for the United States to do but ac-
cept the result philosophically as bind
ing International law. What the gov
eminent dislikes was to admit the
principle that by mere show of naval
force creditor nation can secure prec-
edence in the payment of debt over an
other nation which does not exercise
such force. 1t is regarded as a pre-
MUM on violence, and as tending to
discourage nations which are disposed
to settle their claims by the peaceful
methods of diplomacy.
