Sec'y Root Discusses This
Subject With Senate
Committee
Venezuelan Question Was Not
Before Committee
as Expected

Washington, D. c., April 1.-For an
hour and half today Secretary Root
discussed with the senate committee
on foreign relations various arbitra-
ton treaties resulting from The
Hague conference which are now be-
fore the senate, with the result that
the committee will report favorably
the treaty providing for specific set
Element of international conflicts.
This is an amendment of a CORE
spending agreement of 1899 and
makes material additions to that con
vention.
The committee also heard Mr.
Roots views on two treaties providing
for the regulation of contracts and
establishment of prize courts, but took
no action on either.
Contrary to expectation, the Vene-
zuelan question was not touched on
either by the secretary or by the con-.
mittee. It is understood that the COM
mittee members request furthr time
in which to inform themselves before
taking up the subject.
In reporting the general arbitration
treaty to the senate two resolutions
agreed upon by the committee &C
companied it. They are in the form
of reservations by the government.
One declared that the action of the
senate ratifying them shall not be
construed as a departure from the
traditional policy of the United
States navy to interfere with the po-
litical affairs of the eastern hen4i,
sphere. The declaration follows the
line of reservation made in ratifying
the Algeciras convention. The second
reservation is to prevent any arbitra.
ton by the United States except in
pursuance of particular treaty to be
negotiated covering special cases to
be arbitrated. The effect of these res
ervations is to make a general treaty
the "code of procedure" in arbitration
matters.

PATRICK HENRY.

His Pale Face and Garing Eyes Dur.
ing His Great Ovation.
The most overwhelming Of Patrick
Henry's great orations is that which
he pronounced before the convention
which met in st. Johns church at
Richmond March %, 1775. Already the
mutterings of war were so distinct
that Henry, instead of concealing the
facts. declared that war was even then
on foot.
1--WE must fight!' he said. can appeal
to arms and to the God of hosts is all
that is left us!''
Curiously enough, even of this ora
ton there is no authentic record Ger
tain sentences, certain stirring phrases
were remembered by many who were
there, but the speech as we have it is
almost SURELY a restoration by William
Writ. himself an eloquent and brilliant
orator. He supplied the gaps in what
his informants repeated to him, piec-
ing out their recollections with his
own vivid fancy. But the spirit of
Henry flames all through it, and to
Henry may be safely ascribed such
burning sentences as these:
II have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided, and that Is the lamp
of experience. l know Of no way of
judging the future but by the past"
Three millions Of people armed in
the holy cause Of liberty and in such a
country as that which we possess are
invincible by any force which our en-.
envy can send against u.s.
Gentlemen may cry peace, peace.
but there is no peaceY'
as life so dear or peace so sweet as
to be purchased at the price Of chains
and slavery? Forbid it. Almighty God!
know not what course others may
take, but, as for me, give me liberty or
give me death!"
AS in the case Of all orators Of the
very first rank, the physical impress
sion made by Henry was as strong as
the intellectual. There exists q de-
scription of his appearance while de-
nvering this last great speech-a de-
scription that came from one who was
when Henry rose and claimed the floor,
there was an "unearthly fire burning
in his eyes. He commenced somewhat
calmly, but his smothered excitement
began more and more to play upon his
features and thrill in the tones Of his
voice. The tendons of his neck stood
out white and rigid like whipcords.
Finally his pale face and glaring eyes
became terrible to look upon" The
witness of the scene who gave this
vivid picture said that he himself 'felt
sick with excitement" When the ora
tor had finished his speech ''it seemed
as if a word from him would have
led to any wild explosion of violence.
Men looked beside themselves. "-Lyn-
don Orr in Munsey's.

FARMAN's GREAT TRIP.
Paris Aeronaut Drives His AeropIane

Paris Aeronaut Drives His AeropIane
a Distance of 285 Meters.
Henry Farman recently succeeded In
driving his aeroplane distance of 2S5
meters through the air, thus breaking
the record Of 22O meters. held by San
tos-D umont, says Paris cable to the
New York Times.
The presence Of houses on the out
skirts of the military maneuvers
grounds, where the trial was under
taken. apparently was all that prevent
ed the making of an even longer flight.
The machine. travelling at a speed Of
twenty-five miles an hour, was brought
easily to the earth, only one OF the
wheels being slightly bent Farman
throughout the trip maintained per-
feet equilibrium and evidently had
complete control Of the apparatus.
After few preliminary runs against
the fresh southwest wind Farman set
his fifty horsepower motor at full
speed, and the machine soon was scud-
ding along at rate Of twenty miles
an hour. After run Of only hum
dred meters Farman raised the front
horizontal rudder to slight angle.
and the apparatus slid easily into the
air at a height Of twelve meters. He
again adjusted the rudder so that he
maintained the twelve meter height
throughout almost the entire distance.
santos-Dumont expressed delight at
Farman's success. He said it gave the
final proof that the aeroplane soon
would replace the balloon as means
Of aerial locomotion.
