CASTRO BROKE
 WITH. FRANCE
Move Ot Latter AnxiOusIy
 Awaited
Fir. Russell Who is Not in Good Stand. ing Himself Will Look Alter French Affairs.

Washington, Jan. 12.-All diplomat ic relations between Venezuela and France are broken, it is said at the state department, and although it is stated no formal or official informa- tion to this effect has been received the officials assume that in accordance with the usual procedure tlis will in Volve the early departure from Venc- zuela of M. Taigny. French represen- tative there, and from France of M Maubourguet, the Venezuelan agent at Paris. Officials here are awaiting the turn of events with keen interest, all though it is expressly stated that defi- nite news regarding the next step Of France will take it yet to be received In the event that the request is made by France, it is stated permission will be cablcd to Minister Russell to look after French interests.
 It is admitted that the relations be- tween President Castro and Minister Russell are not all that could be desir- ed. The negotiations regarding the New York and Bermuda Asphalt com pany's claim have failed, but Secretary Root is determined to exhaust every method of diplomatic procedure and has directed Minister Russell to take up the Critchfied claim. which is without complications and involves no charge on the part of President Cas- { tro that the company was engaged in abetting revolution.
 This company invested about $500, 1 GOO in railroad and an asphalt plant under an agreement that they were to be exempt from all except a few spec flied taxes. It is charged that about a year ago President Castro imposed a prohibitory tax on the company in vii olation of the agreement. The Critch- | field claim is regarded by the Wash | ington government as a fair claim, anC MT. Russell will devote his best en- l deavors to having it immediately anC 1 satisfactorily settled.

President Castro upon the properties and franchise of the French Cable company. The president asserted that the cable company had lent active as sistance to the Mates rebellion. There fore he began proceedings in the Ven ezuelan courts against the company on that score and also complained that the company had violated the terms of its concession in not laying certain coast lines of cable especially in cross ing the island of Santo Domingo with land wires subject to frequent inter- ruption in times of rebellion on that island. The courts sustained the pres ident's views and in fact. practically took possession of the company's of fices at certain points. when the French government intervened. In the absence of the regular minister. M. Taigny presented written protest to the Venezuelan government.
 President Castro regarded this note as insulting to his government and re- fused to have anything more to do with MT. Taigny. But the French govern ment refused to allow the dispute to be made a personal one, and declar- ed that NJ. Taigny, in his presentment. had followed precisely the instructions of his foreign office.
 AL lhlS point MT. Russell, American minister at Caracas. intervened in the interest of peace and after many pa tient exchanges it was believed that he had finally succeeded. But while he induced President Castro to withdraw note refusing to do business with AJ Taigny, which note the French goV- eTnment regarded as offensive he could not prevail upon President Cas- tro to resume his official relations with the French charge.
 The circumstances came on New ment supposing that a satisfactory settlement had been reached, received with the usual honors of the New Years day the Venezuelan minister d: Paris only to learn that President Castro had refused to do likewise foI NJ. Taigny at Caracas. This omission touched the pride of the French gov ernment. which felt it had been made the victim of double dealing and de- ceit, which fact the French ambassa- dor in Washington was not slow tC communicate to the state department MT. Russell reported his failure tC
 effect a settlement, thereby making himself unpopular in Caracas, and ther ernment that diplomatic relations witt Venezuela were completely severed
 There is a hint of punitive measure: on the part of France, and the situa- 1 tion is regarded officially as very un- i pleasant. with possibilities of seriou, | consequences.

Raleigh hotel this afternoon of the members of the anti-joint statehood delegation which arrived from Ari- zona on Wednesday and a plan of ac- tion was mapped out. Former Cover nor N. O. Murphy, Frank M. Murphy and Delegate Smith were present at the meeting. In the next few days the delegation will meet as many repub- lican representatives as possible and urge them to oppose the joint state hood bill
 ''It's a mighty fine looking delega- tion," said an eastern man, who looked in at the meeting, and from the stand point of personal appearance, it might readily be taken for collection of citizens from an. eastern State."
 At the meeting telegrams were read from several prominent Arizonians who said that they would come to Washington if their presence would strengthen the position Of the delega- ton.
 It was decided to- request them to come at once. Let me add that ii would be great help to the anti jointure movement if fifty more of Ari- zona foremost citizens would appear on the scene within the next week This movement is growing and it now is the time for the territory to put forth it's best efforts. Wake up you people of means or ability to rustic means, end take the naXc east bound train. The statehood bill w4h lfot he called up until the house leaders are certain that it will get through. If il does not appear Monday, tie urgency deficiency bill will probably be put in and t may consume the remainder o1 the week.
 Tomorrow at II o'clock the Arizona delegation will be presented to the president and it may also arrange foI Tearing later. The members of tho Missouri delegation were called to the White House today and lectured by the president because of their attitude oI opposition to the joint statehood bill.
 We listened respectfully said ont of the delegation tonight, but Mir Roosevelt did not weaken us in th' least.''
 The Missourians will be taken il hand by Speaker Cannon tomorrow The fact should not be lost sight O that Roosevelt and Cannon are willing to play the limit with the representa- ! lives in their effort to make the bill ; i law. Their fragrant effort to bulldoz ] the younger members of the house ! their brazan hints of public building ] pork and their direct threats of re prisals iu case the members fail to d. 1 their bidding are giving the country new idea of politics as 1t is now play rd in Washington.

Contemplating Forcing the Hand of the
 House Rules Committee
The Uneasness Felt By Speaker Cannon and His Lieu tenants Being Communicated to Beveridge and His Associates in the Senate

Washington, Jan. 12.-(SpeciaL)- The statehood insurgents are begin ming to feel their oats and today there was talk of taking the offensive by forcing the committee on rules to bring in rule to separate the two state hood propositions. This can be done if the insurgents are strong enough to put the question to a vote. Undoub- tedly they have a sufficient number of republicans committed to the plan of campaign upon which they are pro- ceeding.
 The house managers have confi- dently relied on being able to wear opposition out by letting the statehood bill remain in the committee an in definite time. But they did not count on the widespread disaffection which has suddenly spread in the ranks of the followers. which has created abso- lute consternation and is daily de- veloping. bitterness.
 The situation is shaping itself rather favOrably to Oklahoma and the Indian Territory than otherwise. The talk today is that if the insurgents take the aggressive, they will ask for a separ-
Arizona republican., 1906-01-13

ate vote on the admission of those two territories without regard to Arizona and New Mexico.
 In the senate the Indian committee revolt in the house, has had the effect of opening the eyes of Senator Be- veridge and his associates to the dan ger existing in the senate wiCh re- ference to any bill that does not di- vide the statehood problem into two distinct propositions. It will occasion no surprise among the initiated if the senate committee should report a bill providing statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory and leaving the ad- mission of Arizona and New Mexico to the decision of the people of these territories separately. This may be done without waiting for the matter to be disposed of in the house, in the event action is deferred any length of time.
 In both branches of congress there is feeling hat the omnibus proposi- tion is. not a fair deal and that the managers of both ends of the capitol are wide awake to the fact that they have been underestimating the senti- ment which insists on a separate vote
 MT. BabcOck stood pat today on his pledge of opposition signed by fifty one republicans. He was suffering from a severe cold and went home | early to go to bed, but sent word that there would be no falling down. 1t is thought that the house mana
 gers, now that they realize they are beaten, will consent to a modification of the rule allowing a separate vote on the proposition in which event the bill will pass the house within a few days and go to the senate in shape that is acceptable to that body. II that event, Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory may be admitted sooner than Is , generally expected.

 And because of not getting tha; bond you had to quit your position in Oklahoma City?' continued the law yer That was one reason, and the other was that I wanted to get back to my folks in a civilized country"

Jockel denied that ne had re- ceiVed or taken the money The wit ness asserted again that the major portion of the barreled oil handled by the Waters-Pierce company in Okla homa City came from the Standard Oil properties.
