W4RSHIPS HELD BACK
State Department Will Not Add to
Venezuelan Trouble.

Washington. Jan. 2o.-If Ambassador Jusse-
rand has disclosed to the State Department the
plans of the French government respecting the
treatment of the Venezuelan situation the de-
partment officials feel that they have right
to make these plans public. they directly con-
Germ only France and Venezuela. There is rea-
son to believe, however, that while NJ Jusse-
rand has talked freely with Secretary Root about
the situation, they exchanging such informa-
ton each had, he has not yet been able to
impart the French plans, and that for the good
reason that the French government itself has
not finally determined upon a line of action.
The State Department has found that it could
reach Mr.. Russell the Minister at Caracas, from
either Willemstad or Port-of-Spain, through
a boat service maintained by the cable COM
panies with La Guayra. Though this means of
communication is cumbersome and exposed TO
great delay, it is thought better to follow it
than to resort TO the plan of sending one or
more naval vessels to Venezuelan waters. which
might add TO the agitation and precptate
trouble.
Though promised for the early part of the
present week. the report Of Special Commissioner
Calhoun upon the issues between Venezuela and
this country has not reached the State Depart

ORDER FOR II RECOUNT.
Justice 4ctS in Upstate Case after
Promise of Quo Wdrranto.

An order that is regarded having an I'M
portant bearing all elections where the count
has been disputed was handed down yesterday
BY Justice Kelly, in Brooklyn. The case before
the court was the application of c. F. Bever-
forden. of Pearl River, y. y. who declares that
he was elected a commissioner Of highways, but
that the vote was not properly canyassed, and
that recount would show this. Justice Kelly
issued a writ Of mandamus, requiring the board
of canvassers TO reconvene and recount the vote
In his opinion, Justice Kelly declares that
where, as in the present case, the applicant
makes cath that he was the candidate of one
of the political parties, alleges that the count
was illegal, that this iIlegality deprived him Of
the certificate of election, and positively AYERS
that he intends TO institute quo warranto pro-
ceedfngs he makes out a case emitting him to
an inspection of the ballots under Section III Of
the Election law.

man Charles E. Townsend. who talked on Rail

who. in the absence of Congressman William
Alden Smith, responded to the toast michigan {;
John s Wise whose remarks We're on 'Vir-
gnia's Part In Michigan; William A. Boland
who spoke about "The Future of Our Society"
and Alexander S. Bacon, whose subject was
'HuTnors in Political Reform" Will Carleton,
the poet read an original poem, written for the
dinner. Congressman Townsend in his address
said in part:
At Washington complaints innumerable are
being received to the heavy freight charges.
It has come to be to a great extent that the
railroads say how the country shall develop;
what cities shall grow and what cities shall
stand still Shall we, the Congressman, obey
the people? Shall we furnish them tuht trib-
unal 20 which complaints be made and
which shall execute justice and, after full
hearing, determine what is right? The railroad
people tell that the reduction of rates reduces
the earnings of their railroads and thus robs
the widows and orphans who own railroad
stocks. This is not true. By giving fair and
reasonable freight rates the business of the
railroads would increase and their earnings
multiply to extent that would more than
Offset any losses through the reduction in rates.
Among Congressman Townsend's hearers were
more than a hundred agents of big Chicago
firms who are heavy shippers. and his remarks
were vigorously appauded. kilograms of regret
were received from Governor Warner or B1lchl-
gan and Governor Higgins of New-York

to-day The principal points discussed were the
question of the right of seizure by the sultan
or by authorized police, and Of the authorlS
of vessels carrying contraband 10 enter Moroc-
can harhors. The conference probably viii ao-
cert The committees report Professionally and
lay it aside for final action.
The reform of the finances of Morocco will
next be considered Thus the conference for
some time will dodge the question of the or
ranization of the Moroccan police. which IN
wolves the vital issue between France and Ger
many.
The committee completed tonight the draft
of an agreement which will be submitted to the
conference Monday. The agreement. while tenn
porarily solving this question, appears to De
framed so as TO defer the main issues between
France and Germany.
The draft provides that the various powers
pass laws prohibiting their citizens from export
ing arms to Morocco and the coast patFoi
against contraband is restricted to Moroccos
territorial waters, thus avoiding the search OF
seizure OF vessels on the high seas.
It is apparent that the theory of the agree
ment is that Morocco viii administer the coast
patrol but the draft does not state to whom
this duty will be given and therefore the deli

sides express outward satisfaction, the Germans
