THE NORTH SEA INQUIRY.
Continuation Of Cross-Exanination of
Russian Officers.

PARIS. February "A continuance OF
the DENOMINATION of the Russian ON
GERS ut today's session of the international
commission developed considerable feeling
and several sharp exchanges of remarks
Capt Clado particularly criticised the nos
tile attitude of the British press. He said
Vice Admiral Roiestvensky had written
private letter, severely condemning the
British press. using one phrase which Capt
Clado said he considered necessary to with
hold. Baron Laub. the Russian judicial adj
wiser, remarked that it was doubtless some
strong seafaring expression.
Capt. clado replied: Il will not say the
phrase was strong, but 1t was bitter"
Capt. Clado referred to alleged mis-
statement that torpedo boats remained
upon the scene without rendering aid to the
trawlers He declared that no such torpedo
boats remained.
British embassy in Paris and agent of
Great l:ritain. said he had heretofore re-
Trained from asking delicate question.
namely. why none of the Russian ships re-
manned to give assistance after knowing
that peaceful fishing boats had been struck.
Capt Clado answered that Admiral Ro-
Jestvensky had fully explained that he did
not consider the injuries to the fishing
boats were serious. whereas the squadron,
having Just escaped from an attack by tor
pedo boats. it was desirable to withdraw
the squadron as soon as possible from the
vicinity of such attacks.
Admiral Beaumont Great Britain) closely
questioned the witness on who gave the
order 10 fire, Capt. Clado saying 1t was Adj
mlral Rojestyensky
Lieut.. Ellis of the Russian battle shin
Alexander III also maintained his Testimony
on cross-examina ton.
The lengthy examina ton did not annea y

ALLOWANCE OF DRAWBACKS.
Exported Flour Made in Part From
Imported Wheat.

The Attorney General has rendered an
opinion in which he holds that draw
backs may be allowed on exported flour
made in part from imported wheat. He
also holds that evidence of books of ac-
count may be used to establish the right
OF a manufacturer to drawback.
The question was raised by Secretary
Shaw as to whether drawback may le-
gally be allowed on exported flour made
in part from imported wheat. 1t has been
before the Treasury Department for sew
eral months and has excited much inter
est, especially in the milling sections of
the country, where considerable quanti-
ties OF Canadian hard wheat are annu-
ally imported for the purpose of mixing
with domestic wheat, thus, it is said,
materially increasing the quality of the
-four produced.

NOT SHOWING FRIENDL1NEss.
Reports Received Regarding the At.
titude Of Venezuela.

Discouraging reports have reached here
as to the situation In Caracas. and 1t is in
timated that the Venezuelan government is
showing such an uncompromising spirit in
It's attitude toward Minister Bowen that
the latter may find 1t impossible to execute
his instructions from the Department of
State with reference to the method Of ar
bitrating the pending issues between the
United States and Venezuela
President Castro is still absent from the
capital. which operates to delay the nego-
tiations between Mr.. Bowen and Mr..
Ybarra. the new minister for foreign af-
fairs. Mr. Ybarra Is understood to be we'll
disposed toward the United States. but Is
naturally led by Castro's directions In the
conduct of the negotia tons.
The situation Is said to be one that causes
concern here, but there is hopeful feeling
that existing differences win be solved by
diplomatic methods.
Attorney General Moody will submit to
ths President in few days his opinion on
the right Of the Venezuelan government to
seize the asphalt properties of the New
