CASTRO SEEKING TERMS.
Desire for Agreement zcith France
Mau Be an Earle.

Reriin Dec 1s-There is an evident desire on
the part Of President Castro to effect an ar
rangement of the outstanding difficulties be-
tween Venezuela and France When asked to-
dav whether there was possibility of relations
between the two countries being renewed, Presi-
dent Castro authorized diplomat who is ac-
cornnanving him to make the following state
ment:
beIieve II would be very easy to bring about
q renewal of relations between Venezuela ana
France bv submitting the questions az issue 10
arbitration in the usual way adopleu WEI WIel ~
nations cannot find other means for setting their
differences.
President Castro had a long conference at his
hotel to-day with prominent representative OF
tbe German Foreign Office AS the latter spoke
ssnanisb and no interpreter was present. the sub
iect Of the interview is not known. President
Castro also received Sehor Matte, the Minister
of Chill to Germany.
Another consultation between President Castro
and Dr. Israel took place this afternoon .Ihe
surgeon advised Senior Castro to remain quiet.
The Venezuelan Executive did not leave his
hotel during the day, and took his meals private
Iy with his family. A box in a theatre mas oeen
engaged for his use tomorrow.
Both the German Foreign Office and President
Castro discredit the report that Venezuela has
declared war against the Netherlands
The feeling is growing here that President
Castro left South America not because OF Illness
but to escape the political turmoil. and that he
has no intention of returning The German gov
ernment has information saying that ii is un-
certain whether Acting President Gomez will
become President or whether d provisional gov
ernment will be organized under another head.
Gomez is believed to be still true to Castro.

DEMOCRACY TO HANG ON.
VII Haze Permanent Headquarters
Soon, Says Mack.

Norman E Mack. chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. said last night at the Hof-
man House that a national committee headquarters
would be established in Washington soon after
the holidays
There is no use in taking up the matter until
after the holidays said Mr. Mack. we may
not take it up until after the short session Is
over but I can state positively that the national
committee will have a permanent headquarters in
Washington at early date. 1t will be work
ing headquarters. too The there will do
something besides draw their pay. I suspect it
will cost $4,000 a year TO the headquarters.
I believe that every member of the national com
mttee. with whom 1 shall communicate is heartily
in favor of the permanent headquarters"
What about Bryan as a candidate four years
from now"
There is no probability of Mr.. Bryan running
again four years hence, so there is use dis
eussing the matter said the chairman. Continu-
ing Mr. Mack said
'.Tbe Democracy of the country is in good shape
and II Will be lined up and ready for battle long
before the time for the next national campaign.

campaign have been paid They were paid up
within fifteen days after the close Of the campaign
Some bills nave been presented since then and
they will be paid. The talk about a big deficit
and bills unpaid is all bosh. When the word was
circulated that there balance of s., 200 after
the bills had been paid, got all kinds of claims

Philadelphia. Dec. IS.-Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker
of the national House of Representatives. in an
address at the annual dinner Of the New Jersey
Society of Pennsylvania here to night. aroused
his hearers by taking unexpected fling at his
critics and defending his policies and the manner
in which the House was ruled at the last session.
Mr. Cannon said:

the Speaker refused to allow the duty TO be re-

NO DEAL, SAYS FORAKER.

Senatorial Race.
TFy telegraph 70 The tribune


Cincinnati, Dec Ex-senator J. B. Foraker
said in an interview here tonight:
Il do not care to discuss the Senatorial sit
uaton in fact. do not pretend to know much
about IL l am reading however, what ap-
pears in the newspapers. and can say that the
talk about combination between Mr. Burton
and myself is all bosh. It is a piece off the
same cloth from which cut the story pub
nshed broadcast two or three weeks ago that
a similar deal had been entered into between
Governor Harris and myself. I have not made
any combination with anybody. Nobody has
suggested any such thing to me, and l have
not made any such suggestion TO any one else
Each candidate has perfect right to enter
the race, and / suppose each is standing on his
merit. and not expecting support on any
other ground. l hope the contest will be
friendly and good natured in character, and
sorry, therefore, to such attacks on Mr.
Burton and on Charles P. Taft as have been
published recently

for Senator Knox's place but he is thought to
