RUPTURE is IMMINENT.
Franco-Venezuelan, Relations Not Ye
Officially Broken off.

Franco-Venezuelan Relations Not Yet
Officially Broken Off.
Paris, Jan. 16-The positive state
ment was made at the foreign Office
during the morning that diplomatic re
lations between France and Venezu-
ella have not yet been officially broken
off. M. Taigny, the French charge,
still remains at Caracas A rupture,
however, is imminent, though the or
der to sever relations with Venezuela
has not been dispatched All com
munications, owing to the interruption
of direct telegraphic connection with
Caracas, pass through Washington,
with which. capital an understanding
exists. The American minister, Mr..
Russell, will take charge of French
Interests in Venezuela when the Off
clal notification of the cessation of
diplomatic relations is given.
The reports that the French squad
ron is proceeding to Venezuelan wa
ters are not confirmed, but on the
other hand they are not denied, the
officials here maintaining the strictest
discl ;tion relative to the measures
Fran, is likely to adopt.
Later in the day it was announced
that he foreign Office had sent an or
der to Ne. Taigny to break Off relations
with Venezuela, but M. Taigny has
not vet officially notified the French
government of the receipt of his in
structions.
The Temps, referring to the Ven
ezuelan dispute, says:
France, having exhausted all con-
ciliatory means, will probably be
obliged to proceed with naval dem
onstration.'

Not Piqued Because He Failed to Land
Big Craftsmanship.
Washington, Jan. 16.-When the
house met Mr. Babcock (Wis.) at once
took the floor on question OF per-
sonal privilege. He based this on a
statement in local newspaper en-
titled How Came Babcocll to Rebel"
and which gave as reason for his
opposition to joining Arizona and New
Mexico as one state his pique at not
being made chairman of the appropri-
ations committee.
Mr.. Payne, the Republican floor
leader, said while he should not OBJ
ject in this instance he did not want a
precedent made of this case, as he did
not regard the story as raising ques-
tion of personal privilege
"If l am not entitled to the floor on
q question Of privilege do not want
it," replied Mr.. Babcock with some
feeling. IF when member is totally
misrepresented if that is not a matter
OF personal privilege don't know
what is.'
.r Speaker Cannon remarked that as
no objection had been made he was
not called upon to pass upon whether
the matter presented was or was not
one Of privilege. "The gentleman will
proceed" he said
The statement, Mr.. Babcock repeat
ed, totally misrepresented him and, he
also believed, the so-called ''Stal-
warts" which he understood meant
the house organization. He had, he
said, never been an applicant for the
craftsmanship OF the appropriations
committee. He had not wanted that
craftsmanship and had it been ten
dered him he should have declined it,
''as | did not feel that under the cir
cumstances l could have filled it to
the satisfaction OF the house,
AS to statehood Mr. Babcock said he
had always been opposed to joining
Arizona and New Mexico as one state
and had always opposed it.. AS to his
they had not changed. He presented a
resolution adopted by the Wisconsin
delegation in congress Jan. IA, 1905, in
favor of revision and said while bow.
ing as a party man to the programe
he still adhered to the opinion that
revision should be had.
There was no reply to Mr.. Babcock's S
statement and when he concluded
some OF his colleagues applauded.

PORTERS AT THE INTERNAL
TIoNAL CONFERENCE.


London, Jan. 16.-The Associated
Press is advised that Ambassador
White representi2g the United States
at the Moroccan conference at Alge-
ciras, will support the German conten-
tion both as to the open door in Mo-
rocco and as to an International COM
mission to control the policing of the
country. 1t is suggested that this may
make the adoption of the German view
probable, particularly in the light Of
the fact that Russia has shown marked
Indifference to the appeal of France
for support. The influence Of the Vat
lean is also understood to be hostile
to France.
