Castro, with his customary knack for

avoid forcing the complication to direct

be regarded rs decidedly acute.
The difficulty between France and
Venezuela, which has for some months
been source of visible anxiety to tho
former country, at least, Is more or less
| rooted in the history of the French Cable
1 Company. We believe that there Is
ground for saying that the behavior OF
this company has not always been all
that 1t should. Castro, Mt any rate has
taken that position. Alleging that the
company had lent assistance to the Matos
rebellion and had further violated some
| of the terms of its concession, he OBJ
tanned n favorable decision OH these
points from the courts; and some of tho
company property was, therefore, taken
over by Venezuelan officials. AT this
| procedure France vigorously protested.

which Castro deemed insulting; and the
latter rejoined with note which de-
clared that for the future he would have
nothing whatever to do with NJ. Taguy.
France. however, stood by her repre-
sentative. and steadily insisted that
Castro must withdraw his note. In time

situation was generally regarded as

Castro, and many observers believed that
the incident was closed. But the real
root of the trouble was never eradicated:
ever. Castro withdrew his note, but
he could not be prevailed on to resume
relations with NJ. Taiguy. At the official
New Years reception in Caracas, the
French Charge was not received. stung
by this slight, the French government
started the correspondence which has just
eliminated, as alleged, in the severing
of diplomatic relations and the recall of
NJ. Taiguy.
Whether war is likely to follow is, OF
course, matter of conjecture. but we
should regard it as quite improbable.
France. as we pointed out some time
ago, is decidedly reluctant to carry the
issue as far as that; and Castro, for his
part. has exhibited characteristic I'M

developments will be awaited, however.

A Story and a Lesson.

There was an exciting runaway in New
York the other day. The horses were
attached to coach and the driver had
lest control of them. A policeman OF
nerve saw the horses as they came dash
ing along towards him.
1t only required moment for him to
realize that 1t would he impossible to
stop the horses in the ordinary way, and
to decide on a new way. Grasping an
empty waste paper can, he raised 1t
above his head, and just as the animals
were almost upon him lie hurled it at
their feet. One of the horses dropped
as IL shot, and then floundered along for
fifty feet or more. The can became
lodged in the wheels, and tho coach
came to stop within a few feet of the
runaway gate.

FLORENCE, March 30.-The death
of Signora Jessie White Mario has re-

career as a staunch ally of Giuseppe
Garibaldi, with whom she went to the
various campaigns in which he fought.
AS a young girl named Jeanne White,
she left her homes at Cowes while still

Italy She was the daughter Of a we'll
known Isle of Wight boat builder.
In Italy she made the acquaintance
of the Garibaldi family, and acted as

with the political situation in Italy.

nora Mario went through the Italian
campaign of 1859 and 1860. She had
on several occasions to escape from
dangerous situations in disguise and
frequently risked her life by taking
the place of others who were being
pursued and in imminent danger of
being captured. Garibaldi spoke of
her as the bravest woman of modern
times, and Mazzini. Victor Emanuel
and other Italian leaders were warm
in admiration of her. She refused all
rewards for her services with the ex
ceptiOn of two gold medals, which
were struck in her honor by some

LIVERPOOL NATIONAL STEEPLECHAsE
Will Be Run This Afternoon and Is
Attracting Attention Among the
English Nobility.

AINTREE, England. March 3O-The
Liverpool grand national steeplechase,
which will be run here this afternoon,
is one of the greatest racing events of
the year in England, and attracts
thousands of devotees of the sport to
Aintree, usually very quiet and con-
sentative place. This year there is an
unusually large number of Americans
here, probably owing to the fact that
three famous American sportsmen will
be represented in the big steeplechase.
Foxhall P. Keene has entered Prophet

great race is a gentlemen's event, the
three owners will ride their own
horses in the steeplechase All three
are accomplished riders, who have
tried their skill and endurance MANY

possibility for the long and severe race
were he at his best, but he is now said
to be touched in the wind, which is
likely to decrease his stamina and his
chances are not considered bright. The
horse has been a poor investment for
the king, who purchased him as a
grand national candidate for last
years race to take the place of Am
bush II, which had given out.
1t has caused no little comment that
an Irish priest at a recent lecture has
predicted that Phil May, owned by
Mr. Cotton. would win the big race.

SAYS BLAAf0RD'S POSITION IS RIGHT
COME TO WALLA WALLA
AND DISCUSS ROADS.

In order that his experience in con-
nection with good road building might
be of some assistance to the county
commissioners when they take up the
subject of macadam roads at the April
session. H. S. Blandford, secretary of
the WaIla Walla County Good Roads
association, invited State Highway
Commissioner Snow to come to Walla
Walla next week. Mr. Blandford is in
receipt of a reply in which Mr.. Snow
planned through Chelan and OkanOgan
counties he will not be able to accept
the invitation. Mr.. Snow further
states that he had read in the news
papers the position taken by Mr..
Blandford regarding the manner of
procedure by the commissioners, and
he believes Mr.. Blandford's position is
right in every particular.
L. w. Page, director of the public
roads bureau of the government de-
partment of agriculture has notified
Mr.. Blandford that he has instructed
Assistant Engineer Loder to come to
Walla Walla and advise the county
commissioners in connection with the
proposed movement for better roads.
