annual boat race with the University Of
Cambridge by three lengths.

ecy. however was not fulfilled, Oxford
speedily taking the lead and holding it to

MANY CLAIMS
ARE REJECTED
Referee Frank Plumley Al
lows France Small Part of
Sum Asked From Venezuela
HIS DECISION FINAL
Out of $8,215,245 Demanded
Vermont Lawyer Orders
Payment of Only S659,287

NORTHFIELD. VT. Aug. 14.-Claims
aggregating s659,2S7, held by the
French Government against Venezuela
have been allowed by Referee Frank
Plumley of this place, to whom they
had been referred for a decision and
final adjustment.
Plumley's decision was announced
here to-day to representatives of the
two governments, Count Perite de Ia
Rocca and DR.. Jose de ]. Paul.
Eight cases, involving claims of 4o,-
600, 900 francs, against the Government
of Venezuela were submitted to Plum
ley. Of the eight cases two were dis
missed for want of equity and one was
disallowed.
The claims were for damages alleged
to have been sustained by French citi-
zens conducting mercantile enterprises
in Venezuela during the insurrection of
1901. Plumley's dcision is final
The claims dismissed by Plumley for
want of equity were those of Fried
rich & Co. and the case of Thomas
Massinia. The former was for 176,0S0
francs and that of Massinia for 207 ,S13
francs.
The Venezuelan commissioner had al
ready rejected these claims and he was
supported in his contention by Referee
Plumley.
Inc claim QlSdllOWeQ, one OF Ine
largest presented, was that Of Anterne
Fabani for 9,509,72S francs. Vepezuela
had declined to pay any part of the
claim.
After considering the arguments of
both governments in the case, Plumley
ruled in favor of Venezuela. The exact
aggregate of the claims presented was
sS,215,245; the total amount awarded to
five claimants $659,2S7. The largest
amount allowed by the referee was
s464,S52, given to the Company General
of Orinoco on claim of $l,469.907.
The decision of the referee was made
final by the terms of the protocol be-
tween the two countries under which
they agreed to leave to the decision of
an umpire the contested claims.
Plumley was chosen, it is believed,
on account of his connection with the
British Venezuelan and the Holland
Venezuelan mixed commissions. which
sat in Caracas in 1903 in connection
with which opinions given by him are
said to have established two precedents
in international law.
Previous to acting as commissioner
in these cases he was we'll known as
an attorney in Vermont.

Yellow Fever on ISthmus

NEW YORK, Aug 14-The care of
1900 employees to work upon the Panama
canal was declared by Chairman Shonts
Of the Panama Canal Commission, who
arrived on the steamer Mexico to-day
from Colon, TO be Of the first Importance
and to have precedence over the actual

Mr.. Shonts said that there was in real
ity no yellow fever scare TO speak of at
the isthmus and that the total number Of
cases in Panama during August, up to
the time of his sailing, was only thirty.
Chairman Shonts was accompanied on his
return by Oswald H. Ernst, also of the
Canal Commission. Chairman Shonts
said:
We went to Colon with Mr. Stevens the
chief engineer. to what had been done and
what should be done. We found the first
thing of Importance to be housing and supply
ing 10000 men When our Government first
took hold OF the canal everything was di-
rected toward making the dirt fly. 1 think
this a mistake Time should have been
given toward preparing for the task by max
ing arrangements to take care of employees
It is true also that the laborers not
promptly paid and that matters were becom-
ing congested on the railway and steamers.

made an arrangement with the president
OF Panama that unless prices became nor

supplying the laborers. At Colon a large re
frigerating plant is now being established, from
which all supplies viii be issued promptly, so
that shortly all American employees viii be
able to obtain the same fare as they would
at home.
OF course, 1 found the freight congestion
causing considerable trouble, but soon found
that by supplying those practical up-to-date
railroad methods Of the United States. that in
thirty days the trouble would be eliminaed.
There is about 6000 tons on hand now. This
freight was ordered by the old commission 20

ried the matter up and urged prompt ship
ment. with the result that it all got to the
terminal point at once.
As double tracking the railroad. that
cannot be done at present even II necessary,
but as the work Of getting out the dirt
progresses. can easily keep up with the
work with extra trackage. We have sup
piled refrigerating cars for the road.
There are about 10000 employees on the
