Washington, Jan. 13.-All diplomatic
relations between Venezuela and
France are broken, it is said at the
state department, and although it is
stated no formal or official information
to this effect has been received the
officials assume that in accordance
with the usual procedure this will in
volve the early departure from Ven
ezuela Of NJ. Taigny, the French rep
resentative there, and from France OF
M. Maubourguet, the Venezuelan
awaiting the turn ofaevents with keen
interest, although it is expressly
stated that definite news regarding the
next step that France will take is yet
to be received. In the event that the
request is made by France it is stated
permission will be cabled to Minister
Russell to look after French interests.
1t is now admitted that the relations
between President Castro and Minis
ter Russell are not all that could be
desired. The negotiations regarding
the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
company's claim have failed, but Sec
retary Root is determined to exhaust
every method Of diplomatic procedure
and has directed, Minister Russell to
take up the Critchfeld claim, which is
without complications and involves no
charge on the part Of President Castro
that the company engaged in abetting
a revolution. This company invested
about $600,000 in railroad and an
asphalt plant under agreement that
the territory was to be exempt from
all except a few specified taxes. 1t is
charged that about year ago Presi-
dent Castro imposed a prohibitory tax
on the company in violation OF the
agreement.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Mother and Two Sons Placed Under
Arrest.

Arrest.
Phillipsburg, Mont, Jan. 13.-Ed-
ward and Robert Franz and their
mother have been arrested in this city
charged with the murder Of George
Reed
Late last summer the long absence
of Reed, a woodchopper, caused a
search to be instituted and his body
was found in shallow grave in the
vicinity of the Franz ranch, where
Reed had his cabin. A large tree had
been felled so that in falling the
branches covered the grave. The ar
rest was based upon the fact that Ed
ward Franz, while on a. spree, con
fessed to the murder and also admit
ted the killing of a man named Pom
gratz, who mysteriously disappeared
from Phillipsburg about five years
ago. Pongratz was an employe Of the
Bimetallic mine at this city. He left
home one morning in his working
clothes for the mill, but did not return
and no tidings had been received of
him since until this confession of Ed
ward Franz.

At END OF PRESIDENTIAL TERM.
Roosevelt May Be Chosen Head Of
Chicago University. (:

Chicago, JAN 13.--Talk of eleoting
President Roosevelt as the successor
of the late President Harper at the
head of the University Of Chicago has
become general in university circles.
1t is said to have been one of DR.. Har-
per's hopes during the last months of
life that the way could be cleared to
have President Roosevelt take the
head OF the university at the conclu-
sion Of his presidential term To
bring this about it would be necessary
to alter the constitution of the univer-
sity, which provides that only a Bap-
tist may be the president. President
Roosevelt worships in the Dutch Re-
formed church.
It has been definitely decided that
the final resting place of President
Harper shall be in a memorial chapel
20 be erected on the university cam
pus. Until the completion of the
chapel the body will remain in the
vault at Oakwood.

PRES. MORALES
SEEKS REFUGE
Fugitive President Of SantO Domingo
Asks Protection Of American Flag
At Our Embassy.
DISTURBANCES PRACTICALLY ENDED

San Domingo, Jan. 13.-The fugitive
president, Morales, has sought refuge
In the American legation here.
Negotiations are in progress with
the object of inducing General Mo
rales to resign the presidency and
leave San Domingo. -
1t is claimed here that the steps
taken by Morales in seeking the pro-
lection of the American flag virtually
puts an end to the disturbances in this
republic. ),
Washington, Jan. 13.-The state de-
partment was advised several days
ago that efforts were making to COM
pass the retirement of President Mo-
rales from office and his withdrawal
from Santo Domingo. 1t was under
stood then that the fugitive president
had offered to resign his Office if he
were given safe conduct out of the
country and it was supposed that his
proposition would be accepted by the
Caceres party. With that understand
ing one of the American gunboats was
being held in readiness to take Mo-
rales aboard and transport him to
Porto Rico It is said at the state de-
partment that while this programme
may be adhered to, if complete un-
derstanding is reached between Mo-
rales and the de facto government,
the former may safely take the first
vessel that leaves port, either a war
ship or one of the regular liners, and
thus terminate the incident to quell
the incipient rebellion and insure the
continuance of peaceful conditions in
Santo Domingo. Such an outcome
would be entirely satisfactory to the
state department because it has had
sufficient assurances that the Caceres
government is willing to live up to the
existing temporary arrangement as to
customs collections.

trashy melodrama last evening in the

up to the quality of other plays that

AN ACTIVE MARKET.
nay ana Hard Wood Bringing Good
Prices in Local Markets.

Inc supply of fine hay and good hard
wood as offered yesterday in the local
open market appears to be very good.
and the traders who bring these staple
commodities IN from the country, are
receiving pretty fair prices. A Journal
man found quite a number Of farmers
in Market square. yesterday. with
loads OF hay and hard wood. The hay,
which varies III price from $40 to sl2 d
ton. delivered in the city. is of very
good quality and finds a ready sale at
these reasonable prices. There is
plenty of hay on the market this win
ter, and city consumers have no trou-
bic in getting it, and at fairly rcason-
able prices.
The supply of hard wood is also quite
plentiful this winter, one reason prob
ably being that the demand has not
been very great because of the mldncss
of the weather. Several large loads
were disposed of yesterday in Market
square. tn" average price being SO a
cord. although some went for $3.50.
