The Ferald--Beview. | By E. C. KILEY. — GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. ——_—_CoO SS The oil brick did not stay with us so long as the gold brick. John L. Sullivan is now firmly con- vinced of the ingratitude of republics. Sienkiewiez always uses red ink in writing his MSS. And his books are read. Papa’s pocketbook is in the very midst of the strenuous life we hear so much about. La Soufriere is just like a profes- sional pugilist. The foolish old thing doesn’t know when to stop. Wizard Edison is said to be absent- minded. What if he should forget to turn on the electricity some day! It certainly can do the Boer cause no harm to note that Chamberlain and Botha are actually growing chummy. The man who invented the “flat” is dead, and a good many people who live in them would about as soon be. In the death of Herr Krupp it may truthfully be said that Emperor Will- iam has lost one of his best fortifica- tions. The laws of hospitality have had a good many amendments since the days of scattered population and stage coaches. The sultan contributes his mite to- ward advancing the millennium by bi g $4,000,000 worth of Krupp peace-makers. Hetty Green is seeking to foreclose on a Chicago church. Is this to be construed as an effort to lay up some treasure in heaven? A French scientist has found a way to make alcoholic liquors harmless. But the trouble is people will go on using the other kind. The American Federation of Labor is to hold its convention next year in Boston—where it can get a nearer view of’ President Eliot. It has been found that many of New York’s churches are unsanitary. lt will be a wonder if they get any of the men into them after this. Herr Krupp had a system of pen- sioning his employes. His system also embraced plans and «specifications whereby the employes footed the pen- sion bills. A dead Indian is not the only gcod Indian after all. "Twas a redskin who gave the information that led to the discovery of the Alaskan boundary monuments. The Maine bride who stopped the marriage ceremony in order to pin her veil on straight should certainly man- age to get along through this matter- ot-fact old world. A Philadelphia wife carelessly left $1,300 in a stove. If her husband had berrowed 10 cents from her she would not have forgotten it for a minute this side of doomsday. King Leopold says the anarchists cen’t scare him out, but it is reported that he turns pale whenever he hears the cook making the steak tender with the potato-masher, 2 ers who are thinking of migrating from Russia to Turkey have presum- ably never heard the adage about the frying-pan and the fire. Tae Doukhobors or Russian | A physician says that habitual lying in boys is due to poor circulation. The same thing may be said of cer- tain publications, and the remark will not be speculative, either. A physician declares that people who sleep with their mouths shut live % songest. To this might be added that if they keep them shut while awake they live the more comfort- ably. The painter Verestchagin sold $143,- 045 worth of his paintings in one day at New York recently. In order to bring the millernium it only remains row for somebody to get rich writing poetry. The Cleveland Plain Dealer spoke of the growing disuse of the “high silk hat” and the New York Sun wants to know what a “silk hat” is, anyway. Maybe the Sun would call it a “plug hat.” - Uncle Sam is mounting a gun that with 1,000 pounds of powder will send a projectile weighing 2,370 pounds a distance of twenty-one miles. This is putting the strenuous life into metal with a vengeance. Mrs. Nation was shocked at the ex- travagant display made by New York’s “409” at the horse show. The New Yorkers can return the shock when Mrs. Nation appears on the stage. They are actually scrambling in Germany to see who will be chosen as ambassador to this country. Uncle Sam will now order a still larger hat. A treaty of peace has been signed in Colombia. Both the revolutionists and the government have agreed uct to throw any dirt on the canal. ° From the Capital. _ Maj.

Senator Depew has introduced a bill authorizing the issuance of emergency currency by the treasury department. It provides that such currency shall be supplied to any national bank with a capital of not less than $50,000, to the extent of 50 per cent of the bank’s cap- ital. Salvador has applied for a reduction of the award, aggregating $500,000, made by the arbitration commission which met in Washington last spring, for injiries inflicted upon the Salvador Commercial company, and American | concern, through the appropriation of | its franchise. The senate committee on judiciary will not wait for action by the house on the trust question. A preliminary meeting of the committee, brought about by such a discussion of the situ- ation as indicated that it is the desire of the leading Republican senators that speedy results be secured. President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hay received a deputatica representing all religious bodies in the United States that are doing mission- | ary or educational work in the Turk- ish empire. The deputation presentéd a formal address, declaring that Amer- ican institutions in the Turkish empire are ina serious condition and need the attention of the government. The dep- utation said the American religious | and edtcational institutions were not | being treated fairly by the sultan, and | asked that a demand be made on the | sultan to afford special protection, the | same as is enjoyed by French and Ger- man institutions.

OPPOSE fiiS ACTING AS ARBITRATOR SOME STRONGLY AGAINST THE PLAN, WHILE OTHERS FA- \ VOR IT. WILL CONSENT AS LAST RESORT TO PREVENT THE POWERS GO-| ING TO WAR OVER THESE DEBTS. Washington, Dec. 25.—There are dif- ferences in Presifent Roosevelt’s cabi- net as to whether the president should accept the office of arbiter in the Ven- ezuelan affair. i> Some of the members are strongly opposed to the plan, while others are just as strongly in favor of it. The formal proposals of Great Brit- ain and Germany that President Rocsevelt act as arbitrator have not been received at the state department, but their import is known, and yester- day the cabinet discussed the question at lengtn. There has been consider- able pressure brought to dissuade the president from accepting this re- sponsibility. A number of senators and representatives have urged that it is fuli of dangers to the government, and they have presented letters and telegrams from their constituents. Senator Cullom presented A Bundle of Telegrams from Chicago people who fear to have the president act as arbiter. These telegrams and appeals will not infu- ence the president. He has no desire to arbitrate this question and sees no good reason why he should, since The Hague tribunal has been constituted for the express purpose of arbitrating international disputes. But President Roosevelt has urged The Hague in the strongest possible language, and for re- ply the three printipal parties to the controversy, Germany, England and Venezuela, request him to act as arbi- trator. He will accept as a means of preventing further developments of a warlike character in Venezuela to bring the effectiveness of the MMonroe doctrine into question. President Roosevelt sincerely hoped that Eng- land and Germany would refer their claims to The Hague tribunal, which is Of European Origin and a court of nations. In his last message to congress he said: “The formation of the international tribunal which sits at The Hague is an event of good omen from which great consequences for the welfare of all mankind may flow. _ It is far better, where possible, to invoke such a per- manent tribunal than to create special arbitrators for a given purpose. It is a matter of sincere congratulation to our country that the United States and Mexico should have been the first to use the good offices of The Hague court. This was done last summer, with most satisfactory results, in the case of a claim at issue between us and our sister republic. It is earnestly to be hoped that this first case will serve as a precedent to others, in which not only the United States, but. foreign nations, may take advantage of the machinery already in existence at 4 As a Last Resort. Having taken this position in his message to congress, the president Has no need to restate his position to the American people. He has urged Eng- land axd Germany to go to The Hague with their claims, but they have re- plied that he shall. be the arbitrator. He has now requested their reasons for passing over ‘the international court of arbitration, which had its: in- ception with Russia an dwas indorsed by all European powers and accepted by the United States, but whether their reasons are given or not, if the three powers whosé interests are greatest insist on President Roosevelt arbitrating their differences, he will consent, in the belief that no work nor embarrassment that comes to him in this way can be equal to the danger of allowing these powers to go to war over debts and come in con- flict wita the Monroe doctrine to in- volve this country in war. American VeVssel Goes Through. Caracas, Dec. 25.—The Red D line steamer Caracas, which hes been held at Wilemstad, pending a decision of the blockading fieet whether she be permitted to enter the ,La Guayra harbor, arrived at La Guayra last night, permission having been granted Capt. Woodrick to make that port. The steamer, ‘however, narrowly avoided being excluded owing to the action of the commander of the Italian warship Giovanni Bausan. é Monday the commander of the Brit- ish. cruiser Tribune informed the English consul that the Caracas could enter the port, after which the Tribune sailed, leaving the Italian cruiser in charge of the blockade. The Bausan commander’s first act was to counter- mand the previous yermission and to notify the Red D agents that the ship would not be allowea to land passen- gers, mail or freight. Commander Diehl of the United States gunboat Marietta and the com- mander of the French cruiser Troude were notified, and after a long confer- ence with the Bausan’s commander he was convinced that his interpretation of the blockade decree, which allowed all steamers coming from the United States ten days’ grace, was wrong, and consequently the Italian rescinded his orders. Castro Threatens British Guiana. Port-of-Spain, Dec. 5, — President Castro is said to have let fall a hint through Bri inna. | gestion, are talking | their cargo during the day, but they invading the British colony. oe ‘ ; If the menac2 were not cn empty threat, at least under present bie stances, the colonists of British Guiana would do well to take some precaution against such an emergency. Private messages from Georgetown, the capi- tal of the colony, state that much ap- prehension exists there lest the threat of invasion prove more than mere words. There is little doubt that if Venezuela were not divided against itself, an attack on’ the British colony would be a popular move. The Ven- ezuelans have not forgotten nor for- given what they consider the injustice done them by the special commission that handed over to Great Britain, as the result of arbitration, the greater part of the rich gold-bearing district on its borders. Castro, however, is well nigh run to earth, and this threat is only a ruse on his part. Creates Dissatisfaction. La Guayra, Dec. 25.—The allies have advised consuls here that steamers reaching La Guayra before Dec. 30 will be allowed to enter port and discharge will not be allowed to take cargo on board. The ruling has created general dissatisfaction here. As there is no export duty on goods shipped from Venezuela, the ruling does not affect the government. Only th eship own- ers and workers are affected. Rebels Join h Castro. Wilemstad, Dec. 25.—(By boat from La Guayra)—The revolutionists have answered President Castro’s proposi- tion that they should unite with the government and turn their arms against the foreigners who have at- tacked Venezuela by referring the president to Gen. Matos, their only chief capable of dealing with the maj- ter. KILLS HIS BROTHER. Unexpected visit Frightens Ontario Farmers and They Use a Gun. Bradford, Ont., Dec. 25. — Wesley Watson of Detroit yesterday was shot and killed by his brother Samuel, at Middleport, near this city. Samuel and James Watson ran the farm near Middleport, and the third brother, Wesley, lived at Detroit. Monday nighe Wesley came home unexepctedly to spend Christmas, it is supposed. The brothers at home, buth over thirty years of age, heard hi mapproaching the house and became possessed of fear that they were about to be at- tacked by burglars. They ran up- stairs, and, getting » out of a window, went to the home of a neighbor, where they spent the night. They returned yesterday, armed with a _ shotgun, ‘Wesley had gone into the house, and, finding no one there, gone to bed. When hi3 two brothers opened the door of the room in which he had been sleeping he raised himself in bed. Failing to recognize his brother, Sam- uel Watson fired, killing him instantly. Recently the two men had been at- tacked and robbed by burglars. CHARGE AGAINST CLAYTON. Evidence Bearing on Charges Against Minister to Mexico. Washington, Dec. 25.—Senator Pen- rose of Pennsylvania yesterday for- warded President Roosevelt some evi- dence bearing upon the charges made last winter against Ambassador Clay- ton, the representative of the United States in Mexico. The new evidence is in the form of affidavits that Am- bassador Clayton is the owner of cer- tain specified shares in the German Mining company, a Philadelphia cor- poration doing a mining business in Mexico. The charges were received at the executive offices, but as is the case with all such matters they were trans- mitted at once to the state department. Whether the additional evidence sub- mitted by Senator Perrose will result in the reopening of the case which at- tracted considerable attention in and out of congress last winter is not known. CAUSES A SENSATION. Nebraska Woman Arrested on Charge of Killing Her Husband. David City, Neb., Dec. 25.—Lena M. Lillie was arrested last evening on complaint of County Attorney Wall- ing, charged with murdering her hus- band. The arrest has caused a sensa- tion. Harvey Lillie was shot dead in his bed in October, supposedly by burglars, although the suspicion that the house has been robbed was later disproved. Since then the county at- torney and detectives have been work- ing on the case. The family was prom- inent, Mr. Lillie being local manager for one of the leading grain and ele- vator companies of the state. Mrs, Lillie was arraigned last night, pleaded not guilty, and was admitted to bail in the sum of $2,000, furnished by her father. BOILER LETS GO. Two Men Killed and Another Fatally : Injured. ‘ Norfolk, Va., Dec. 25. — Two men were killed and another fatally injured in an explosion of the boiler of the towboat Lizzie Massie on the Southern branch of the Blizabeth river. The boiler was blown through the top of the boat.and landed some distance away. The boat sank in fifteen feet of water. It is thought another of the crew was killed. A tug dispatched to the scene has not returned yet. Capt. Williams and Engineer Dunn were married and leave families. AGED MARQUIS MARRIED. A Canadian Girl the Bride, and Given Away by Lord Strathcona. London, Dec. 25.—The octogenarian marquis of Donegal was quietly mar- ried here to Miss Violet Twining, a Canadian about thirty years of age. The Canadian high commissioner, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, gave away the bride. Rev. Hillis Pardoned. Campaign Which Will Involve the In- terests of the Northwest. - _ Washington, Dec. 25. — From New York.to San Francisco in three days and a half is the task that E. H. Har- riman has set forth to accomplish. He says it will be accomplished within three years. He has taken the Pennsylvania rail- road as his model, and declares that as fast as man and money can make the change the Union and Southern Pacific systems from Omaha to San Francisco will be in every ‘respect equal to the magnificent Pennsylvania road from New-York to Chicago. Mil- lions are to be expended in straighten- ing the road from Omaha westward, and the work of rebuilding the South- ern Pacific from Ogden will follow. The Sierras are to be tunneled so that the grade Will be no greater than grades found on the lines east Ogden. Mr. Harriman’s declaration of his purpose in pouring out millions on the central continental highway was called out because of the struggle now going on for the lion’s share of transpacific commerce between James J. Hill and the Northern interests on the one hand and E. H. Harriman and the Union and Southern Pacific on the other. The Fight Arose over the attempt of the Northern inter- ests to wrest control of the govern- ment transport business from San Francisco and transfer it to Seattle. The outcome of the first round of the fight, which was decided by Secreta: Root last week, was in a sense a Vii tory for Seattle, though for the time being the government service will be operated as usual from San Francisco. But a contract has been awarded to the Boston Steamship company, which has close connections with Hill’s in- terests, whereby troops and supplies may be transported from Seattle. Tie quantity to be sent over the Northern route is left entirely to the discretion of the secretary of war. The Seattle interests, in making the bid, stipulated that at least 75 per cent of the government’s Philippine busi- ness should go through Seattle, but Secretary Root declared this an impos- sible condition, and it was withdrawn. Mr. Harriman and the San Francisco interests were opposed to the granting of the contract to Seattle, even without the condition named, but failed to in- fluence Secretary Root. POPE IS STRICKEN. ‘Taken Suddenly Ill While Sepaking to Cardinals and Prelates. Rome, Dec. 25.—Yesterday, while re- ceiving the cardinals and prelates, Pope Leo suddenly became ill, and was incapable of speaking for some time. Direttly the audience was over he was taken from the throne and carried to his room, where he was put in bed. The scene occurred in the pope’s private library at noon, when all the cardinals living in Rome gathered there to present the pontiff with their Christmas greetings. All the visitors wore their gorgeous red robes. Cardi- nal Santo Stefano, as doyen of the sa- cred college, read the congratulatory address. The pope spoke at some length in reply, and Expressed Keen Sorrow at the fact that his jubilee year was embittered with painful events, refer- ring evidently to the divorce bill. The pontiff in this connection remarked: “What they want is the fall of Chris- tian order andthe reconstruction of the states on the basis of paganism.” The pope pleaded for a spread of Christian democracy “on the lines preached by, the church, to oppose the seditious socialistic democracy which acknowledges no God.” At this point the pope was taken ill, and for some time could not proceed with his speech. He recovered suffi- ciently to conclude his address, and, after he had bestowed the apostolic benediction upon the cardinals, he was carried from the throne and placed in bed. DEATH OF THE ARCHBISHOP ‘The Primate of All England Passes ‘ Away. London, Dec. 25. — The Most Rev. Frederick Temple, archbishop of Can- terbury and primate of all England, who had been ill for some time past, is dead. The archbishop passed away quite peacefully at 8:15 o’clock yester- day morning in the presence of his wife and two sons. His death had been anticipated for some days and only the archbishop’s remarkable vitality en- abled him to counteract his extreme weakness. The final collapse occurred about 6 o’clock and he was uncon- scious toward the end. The primate died of old age. ° DEWEY AT SAN JUAN. ‘Thousands Greet the Admiral in Porto Rico. San Juan, P. R., Dee. 25—Admiral Dewey arrived on the Mayfiower at 9:30 yesterday morning. Thousands of people thronged the wharfs, the public buildings. were decorated and ~ the forts fired a salute.
