VENEZUELA MAY NOW
 AGREE TO ARBITRATE

uashin~ton. April 5.--An intimation oI nossible developments ip the claims against Venezuela is tound In the case of the Venezuela Steam Navigation Company. .S, the sdministrations of Grant, Hays Garhald. Arthur and Cleveland. affords one of the precedents considered by inc State Department and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in connection with the claims of which a settlement is now sought.
 After twenty years of fruitless ne- rotiations by the State Department in an endeavor to obtain satisfaction from Venezuela for the hiEh-handed seizure of this companys boats in 1871. set clement was secured upon the pas sage of a Joint resolution which reach ed the President in June. 1890. author izinE him "to take such measures as in his judgment may be necessary to promptly obtain indemnity from the rles, losses and damages suffered by the Transportation Company" To se- cure this end the President was au- thorized ito employ such means or ex- erclse such power as may be neces- sary."
 This step was taken following a re- quest by the Senate for the papers In the case, such as was made in the Lodge resolution in connection with the Bermudez Asphalt Company and other claims. Venezuela came prompt ly to terms. board of arbitration was appointed at the early solicitation of Venezuela. which awarded damages of about $150.0OO to the American Com pany.
 When 1t came to the point of decid- Ing what steps the State Department holld take to carry out the Senate'E resolution, Secretary Blaine stated that 10 speak of using means to obtain in- demnity did not exclude arbitration of a case on its merits. If the fact were otherwise. he said. 1t would appear that the government of the United States had "consistently failed to obtain In- damnity for its injured citizens"

ODEYING THE LAW.


senator at times. His lecture
tours also serve public purpose
sometimes. Last fall and
winter he was out in Oregon and
adjoining states on chautauqua
assignments. Of an inquiring
nature, he conversed with the
natives regarding conditions
there. Vast tracts he noticed,
were unsettled and he asked why.
He was told that they were
railroad land grants held out of
market because the timber on
them was rapidly increasing in
value. He learned, also, that the
terms of the grant required the
railroad to sell the land at not to
exceed $3.50 an acre and not
more than a quarter section to
each purchaser.
So when congress met Tillman
got out his pitchfork and pitched
in a resolution directing the
attorney general to bring suit
to annul the grants and restore
the lands to the public domain,
which went to and came out of
the judiciary commettee with a
favorable report. And now the
attorney general is beginning
action. The story is interesting
as showing how, even after this
eruption of the public sentiment
and its partial crystalization in
law, followed by stout protesta-
lions of obedience to law, Mr..
Harriman's companies are still
disobeying a plain injunction of
the law under which they claim
these lands. In the later eos, a
period when the republican con-
gross was scattering land grants
and subsidies with lavish hand,
though one to which they do not
now point with PRIDE" and in
which our own grand old man"
was an active participant, the
Oregon & CALIFORNIA; predeces-
sors were given 100000 acres
of land under the conditions
above stated.
1t has sold 1900, 900 acres in
disregard of both conditions as to
quantity and price, and. in 1902,
when the cumberland craze set in,
Hartman withdrew all the re-
naming land from sale, and
asserts ownership free from the
conditions of the grant. Men
wishing to buy were put off on
one or another pretext, the San
Francisco fire at one time, a con-
fusion of records that needed
Strengthening out, at another,
ending finally with Mr.. Harri-
mans statement in San Francisco
in September, 1907, that the
policy of withdrawal was perma-
nent.
In his report to the judiciary
committee the attorney general
said that the companies dis
regard of the law has given it
"a bounty exceeding $1,000, 900
from the disposition of land. It
has realized approximately 81, :
100000 and asserts absolute
ownership to property the assess
ed valuation of which is $418,-
600, O00." AS illustrative of how
in times passed law was obeyed,
and as showing how, even after
the hard lesson of the passed two
years, the biggest toad in the
puddle still impudently disobeys
the law, this brief statement is
