rHE VENEZUELAN QUESTION.

president Castro will not withdraw
the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
Company case from the Venezuelan courts
and will not resubmit the Olcott case to
arbitration if the whole American army
and navy come TO Venfz'e'a."
THIS statement of General Alexandra
Ybarra. the Venezuelan Secretary of For
eign Affairs, reflects the spirit OF the re-
pIy which President Castro made to the
recent proposal of the American State
Department Tor the arbitration of the
Bermudez and Olcoll cases
1t was generally rumOred throughout
Venezuela that the demand ofthe United
States was little less than an utimatum
TO General Castro and the reply OF the
Venezuelan President was awaited with
interest. Predictions Ofinteryention fol-
lowing the refusal OF Castro to yield were
freely made and there was much uneasi-
ness when it was stated that the Venezue-
Ian government had not only refused the
demand to arbitrate the case, but had
supplemented its refusal with request
thai the United States declare whether it
has any respect for the sovereignty and
the courts of Venezuela.
Nearly two weeks have passed since
Castro made his reply, and as no action
has been taken by the United States and
no further demands have been made, the
last demand of the United States, has
gone the way Of many previous requests
for arbitration and the incident Is prac-
ticallly closed as far as its discussion IN
Caracas il concerned.
Presiden, Castro ard his advisors claim
that TO reopen the Olco!t case would be
an insult to Holland, ~ Mr.. Barge, who
acted as umpire, is well-known Delch
diplomat. They also hold that as Vene-
zuela was denied the right to have the
arbitration Of the Belgian water works
case reopened, none OF the other cases
settled under the Washington protocols
shall be reconsidered Ii is emphatically
denied in the reply of President Castro
that there are any claims pending be-
tween the United States and Venezuela.
He again reiterates that the New York
and Befmudez Asphalt case, now in The
Venezuelan courts, is national and not
an international one.
President Castro and the members Of
his cabinet take the ground that while
the government stands for the general
principle of arbitration, it will not have
case wrested from its courts to be car
ried before a board of arbitration.
The charges that Venezuela is not
paying its obligations TO creditor nations
under the Washington protocols are de-
MED by administration officials.
While diplomats who have inquired
at the State Department Fave BEEN III
formed that practically no action will be

"As a representative Of one Of the
Insurance underwriters I have taken
part in the Investigations Of more than
100 shlpwrecks," said a former sea cap
tain. 'The causes Of wrecks are drink,
fogs, neglect 10 use the sounding lead
and unknown currents.
"Thc most dangerous waters are of
the east coast OF England, Cape Ushant
and Cape Finistcrc. In the past the
shifting Of the cargo caused a good
many wrecks, but the adoption Of feed
pipes has changed all that Cargoes
liable TO shift consist OF wheat, iron
ore. coal and so ON. Great feed pipes
filled with part OF such cargoes now
run down into the hold, and II the
cargo shifts at all the pipes automatic
ally pour more cargo into the space
that has been made vacant.
"On a wild part OF the South Amer
ican coast a four master loaded with
high heeled French shoes was once
wrecked. Tho native Indians stole the
shoes. but couldn't wear them. They
used them instead for boxing gloves,
giving each other terrific taps with the
French heels"

crime in EnoIand.

The annual report of the Commission
ers of Prisons. says the London Globe,
shows that the number of commit
ments per 100000 of the population
has been the subject Of considerable
fiuctuation during the last quarter of a
century. varying from the highest
l621.6) in 1923. to the lowest (460.0
In l900-1 Since 1901 there has been
a progressive rise, eliminating in
1862 for the year 1904. which is the
highest since 1SS4-5. This rise has
been almost entirely in offenses tried
summarily. SO far as serious or indie
table crime is concerned, the number
per 100000 has fallen from 81 in
1SS0-1 to 25.9 for the year under re
port. Summary offenses have arisen
from 54S.S to 560.3.
The principal causes which account
ed for this increase are as follows:
Drunkenness. 1851: begging ant
sleeping out and misbehavior by pau.
pers. 1868; ofenses against police reg
ulations and county and borough by.

Lyddy was a thin, wiry little woman
with a siow-golng husband. who had
just then tlptoed into the room with
his hat on the back OF his head The
ncigabor shook her head duhiously
and waved Jim back. Then she famed
the sick woman more slowly until the
last motion was hardly perceptlble,
and laid down the fan. Lyidy was
breathing. but that seemed all.
Stepping into the adpoining kitchen,
the no.ghbor said "Jim, you might as
