NEW JAPANESE LOAN.
no be Divided Between This Country,
England and Germany.

T Berlin, March 21.-The new Japanese
foreign loan will be divided among the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many. The amount will depend upon
how many the bankers here and else
where will guarantee to dispose of, but
probably it will not be less than $780,
100000, of which amount Germany is
likely to take $15000,0OO although this
is still undetermined. The security Of
fered by Japan includes the customs
previously uncovered and the railroads.
Baron Takahasi (the Japanese financial
agent who sailed from New York March
II for Europe) was correct in saying
that Japan was not negotiating with
Berlin direct. She has no agent here
THE Deutsche Asiatische bank is con-
Quoting the business in connection with
the Hong Kong and Shanghai banking
corporations through London.
The German government, the Asso-
ciated Press In informed, definitely
gave its approval in advance to part Of
the loan being taken here. The Japan
ese government desires to broaden the
has of it's foreign credit and interest
German in the affairs of Japan so as to
counterbalance to some extent the ma
terial reasons for Germany's wishing
Russia to succeed. Japan would be glad
if the French bankers had taken some
of the bonds for the same political rea-
son but that naturally is excluded from
consideration. AS it is that influential
banking group here which supports
Russian credit, Mendelssohn & Co., III.
Bleichroeder, the Berliner Handelsge-
sellschaft, the Disconto Gesellschaft
and Robert Werchauer & Co., takes no
direct part in the loan. Its interests
for the present are identified with those
of Russia.
New York, March 21.-Progress is
being made in the negotiations for a
new Japanese loan and 1t is believed
believed that the bonds will be offered
for sale shortly. Bankers here and in
Europe are considering the final de-
tails to-day and will very likely offer

VENEZUELA REQUIRED
TO ANSWER QUESTION
MUST SETTLE MATTER OF ARBI-
TRATToN WITH q. S

Unless Castro Decides to Accept Propo-
sition of This Country the Govern
ment VIII Feel Free to Take the
Steps Necessary to Secure Justice
Holland May Use Coerciye Measures.
Willemstad, Island of Curacao, March
21.-The Venezuelan government, it is
announced from Caracas, has received
a note from the American minister, Mr..
Bowen. recurring an answer as to
whether Venezuela will arbitrate the
questions pending, and saying that in
case of refusal the United States
will feel free to take the steps which
may be necessary to secure justice.
The charge d'affaires OF the Neither
lands has advised the Venezuelan gov
ernment that Holland will use coercise
measures, in view of the fact that she
has been unable to secure the release
from Imprisonment in Venezuela Of five
Dutch sailors who have been Illegally
kept in prison for seven months.
Washington, March 21. I'm calling
upon President Castro for an answer
to his proposition to submit to arbitra-
tion the issues between the United
States and Venezuela, Minister Bowen
is acting in accordance with specific
instructions from the state department,
which have recently been placed in his
hands.
MIR. Bowen made a proposition of this
kind to the Venezuelan foreign office
several months ago, and there was an
exchange of notes on the subject, but
its further consideration was cut off by
the abrupt departure from the capital
of President Castro at a moment when
his own decision was required.
The Venezuelan government at that
stage had made counter-proposit
to Mr.. Bowen looking to the arbitra-
tion of the dispute by The Hague tribu-
nal, but with the important qualif1ca-
tion that the tribunal should arbitrate
as preliminary the question as to
whether or not the United States gov
,erIlment had the right under fnterna-
tional slaw to intervene at all Gs be-
tween the Venezuelan government and
American concessionaries for their pro-
lection. This was construed here as an
|attempt to bring into play the old CAL
vo doctrine, which the United States
has resolutely and repeatedly refused to
accept in its negotiations with the
southern republics.
So. Mr.. Bowen cabled to the state
department the fact Of President Cas-
tro's departure, and asked for instruc-
tions. These were prepared with great
care, and after Attorney General
Moody, upon call from the president as
the highest legal authority in the ex
ecutive branch Of the government, had
furnished an opinion to the effect that
the proceedings In the Venezuelan
courts involving the asphalt company's s
properties were so irregular as to
amount practically to a denial of jus
tice. Therefore, Mr.. Bowen was told
to renew his proposition for a free ar
bitration of the issues between Vene-
zuela and the United States at the first
opportune moment, and this 1t appears
he has now done.
Besides the New York and Burmudes
asphalt case there are three other mat
ters which are suggested as proper
subjects for arbitration.

ADJUSTING TROUBLES
OF EQUITABLE LIFE
VOICE OF POLICY HOLDERS IN
sOOIETF,S AFFAIRS.

uaI Admission to a Share of the Con-
troI-The Outcome the Result of. the
Agitation of President Alexander for
the naturalization of the Society.
New York, March 21.-A plan for the
gradual admission of the policyholders
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of the United States to a share in the
control of its affairs was adopted by
the directors of the society to-day. The
plan provides for an amendment to the
society's charter so that twenty-eight
Of its ffty-two directors shall, at the
expiration of four years, have been
elected by the policyholders and the
remaining twenty-four by the stock
holders. Under the new plan seven Of
the thirteen directors annually elected
will be chosen by the policyholders and
six by the stockholders. The new
method of control will therefore be-
come effective after four years.
The adoption of this plan is the out
come Of an agitation by President
James w. Alexander and others for the
naturalization of the society, which be-
lgan several weeks ago, -
Mr.. Alexander pointed out that the
control of the society rested in 100000
stock capita, a majority of which was
under the control Of James H. Hyde,
t the yice-president, and that such a
power in the hands of one man was
| "fraught with danger"
The board of directors of the society
voted on February 16 that the policy
holders should be given a right TO vote
for directors and appointed a commit
tee of seven directors to arrange the
"details. The committee was composed
lof Valentine P. Snyder, James w. Al
exander. James HI. Hyde, George e.
Tarbell, Cornelius N. Bliss, T. Dewitt
Cuyler and Chauncey M. Depew. The
committee to-day made the following
report to the board of directors:
| THE committee unanimously recon-
lmends that the charter of the society
be amended to provide that twenty
eight Of the fifty-two directors OF the
lsociety shall be elected by the policy
holders and twenty-four by the stock
holders, the division each year being in
| the ratio of seven to six. ss-r~ sssss t6
Your committee further recommends
an amendment of the bylaws of the
society to provide for monthly meetings
of the board of directors instead of
lquarterly meetings, as heretofore.
"A form of amended charter embody-
ling the foregoing recommendations as
to the election of directors by the poll
/ iicyholders is submitted herewith to the
board, with the unanimous recommend
alton Of its Immediate adoption by the
| board"
The report was signed by every menu
ber of the committee and was adopted
by the board of directors, together with
| the, amended charter. The official state
ment of the action of the board Of di-
lrectors was signed by President Alex
ander and Vice-Presidents Hyde, G. e.
i Tarbell and George T. Wilson. ~

FOUND TON OF SILVER.
Man TumbIes Upon Immense Treasure
lin Ohio, .al5

Akron, o., March I--While walking
along the south shore of Silver lake
to-day George Lodge stumbled upon a
huge billet of metal, which was found
to be silver. Making further investiga.
tion he and his brothers dug out TWEEN
ty-six large billets of an average
weight Of 100 pounds, making over a
ton in all. For many years the late
Henry Wetmore, who died at the age of
11O years, told a story how an encamp-
ment of 500 Indians, shortly before the
battle Of Tippecanoe, left the vicinity
of this lake in a single night, and it
is thought this silver was the treasure
they dumped into the water for safe
keeping. '%
