ROME, Jan. 1.--Foreign Minister Prinettl this afternoon received through Ambassador Meyer, -Secretary Hay's note communicat- ing President Castro's acceptance of The Hague arbitration -proposition, but with ac additional proposition which the govern- ment at Washington does not support. At the New Year's diplommtic reception today Foréign Minister Prinett! and Am- bassador Meyer exchanged congratulstions over the anticipated settlement by arbitra- tion of the Venezuelan troubl Senor Prinett! expressed his appreciation of the attitude of the United States and his satistaction at the State departmect's action throughout the affair. ‘While reserve is maintained at the for- elgn office with regard to the Venezuelan matter, It has been learned that the foreign office considers the additional proposition made by President Castro as not likely of acceptance. Communications on this subject are being exchanged with Germany and Great Britain. Powers Are Slow to Answer. LONDON, Jan. 1.—The rejoinders ot the Buropean foreign offices to President O tro's reply to thelr arbitration proposal have not reached Washington. This, however, occaslons no surprise, as the holidays are much more closely ob- served in European capitals than in Wash- irgton. Following the rule which it has adopted in the treatment of correspond- ence passing between Venezuela and the allfes, e State department still declines to make public any information respecting the details of President Castro’s reply, but inquiry confirms the Associated Press re- port from Rome to the effect that Chstro did attach a condition to the arbitration proposal, and that' propoaition was not en- dorsed by the Washington government. However, it I8 pointed out that it bas not been regarded as necessary at the State department to either approve or disapprove any of the details 8f the propositions now in exchange between the principals. As to conditions attached to the mcceptance, it can be stated that it s not of great con- sequence, nor 18 it likely to involve the loss of the arbitration project, for It is understood to relate rather to the means of getting. the issue to arbitration than to any substantial principle involved. Castro. Defines His Attitude. CARACAS; Jan. 1.—The report current in Willemstad, Curacao, that thé government sustainéd a defeat {n the recent fight with the revolutionary forces at Barquisimeto 1s untrue. The government was victoriou at ‘Barquisimeto, and that town, as well 8an Carlos and Tifaquillo, was recaptured from ‘the rebels, as was duly reported in these dispatches. Thefe have been persistent rumors in of- ficfal efrcles and throughout the city since yésterday that' President Castro had re- fused'to agree to the proposals of the allies to refer the Venezuelan question to The Hague. Theé correspondent of the Assoclated Press saw the president hinself for half an hour this sffernoon. It is not true that the president ‘has ‘declined the proposals of the’ powers; the eredutive declares that hd only wants' fair treatment. It was cleat 1 id that be believes it .will be very easy to reach a full settlement of the entire controversy. President Castro said to the correspond- ent: It a settlement is not reached, it will be. because a settlement forms no part of the plan of the allies. In this case tho prolongation of the present situation would be disastrous for all concerned. The solu- tion of the present difficulty depends more on the allled powers than on Venezuela.” The president was questioned as to whether or not he would renounce the presidency and whether it was his purpose to make a change In the present cabinet. He replied: “People are at liberty to talk whatever nonsense they please. I will make & change In the cabinet when the present serious condition is ended.” Germany is Sati BERLIN, Jan. 1.—President Castro's re- ply to' the powers through Mr.\Bowen is substantially an unqualified accéptance of their proposalé to arbitrate under accom- panying conditions. The Forelgn office here recelved his answer today and is satisfied with its spirit. A further interchange of views, preparatory to signing the protocol, will take place In hington. The only really important question to be settled 13 what shall be done with the block- ade. A continuance of the blockade is re- lied upon to hasten the conclusion of the arbitration preliminaries on the part of Vpnezuela.

DOCKERY IS DEAD Wife of the Governor of Missourl Dies with Dawn of the New Year, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 1.—Mrs. Mary Elizabeth ‘Doc wife of Governor Dockery, wha for several weeks has been suffering from an affliction of the heart, ied at 5:45 a. m. She passed away quietly after days.of suffering. The patlent rested fairly well yesterday and last night and frequently showed amusement at the treatment used to re- store her, although she was conscious that the end was near. To enable the patient to breathe more: freely and easier oxygen was administered freely. Mrs. Dockery told the governor. and her physician when she suffered the relapse Tuesday that she oould not get well and that it was uselgss 10 give her medicine, submissive to any treatment to use. At intervals throughout the night she was somewhat restless, but no. more so than usual. At 5:45 o'clock this morning she turned fram the right.to her left side and passed quietly away. Mrs. Dockery was born in 1850. She was a native of Missourl and a lineal descend- ant of Commodore Perry. Eight children of Governor and Mrs. Dockery dled in in- tancy and nome survive.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—(Special.)—The tederal administration is watching with more than usual interest the preliminary movements In a number of senatorial con- tests which are soon to be decided by the state leglislatures fn the western states. For a while last summer it appeared probable that the republicans of Wisconsin might depose Senator John C. Spooner. No man In the senate occuples a higher place in the councila of his pasty than the senior senator from Wisconsin, He le looked | upon as the ablest debater In the senate today. He is a man of great attalnments and upon any subject of which he speaks he 1s always ready to meet and combat the best arguments of his opponents. Mr. Spooner never took pains to post himself as to the minor detalls of local politics and consequently falled to make himself popu- lar with the smaller men who so frequently controlled legislative affairs. When it be- came known that there was danger of the defeat of Mr. Spooner a protest went up from every state In the union. Newspapers which scarcely realized thet such a state as Wisconsin existed suddenly demon- strated that their editors had a deep inter- est in the ate. These protestt' may or may not have had an effect upon the legis- Iators of Wisconsin, but those gentlemen scemed to have changed front and now as- surances ate made that there will not be a single vote In the repyblican caucus in op- position, to the return of John C. Spooner. Doubt About Colorado. In Colorado a peculiar state of affairs ex- ist. The lower house of the legislature is republican by a narrow margin. The sen- , however, is anti-republican. The gen- | eral belief is that upon joint ballot the re- publicans will have enough votes to wrest the senatorship from their political oppo- nents. Senator Teller, who was elected as | a republjcan when the state was admitted in 1876, has served continuously since that time except for the peried during which he | held the lnterfor department portfolio in | the cabinet of President Arthur. When the | silver senators left the republican conven- tion at 8t. Louts in 1896 Senator Teller al- lied himself with the ellverites and since he has been classed a populist and a democrat. He is one of the biggest men in his state and had he consulted his per- sonal Interest he would have declined a re- Mr. publican district nominee primaries and the in which he lives, for semator, Carl lative caucus.

Now his brother, who is at the head of the law firm, is 111, | and the senator desires to return to Colo- | rado to look after his affairs. It appears | therefore that there is no reason why he | should make an attempt to be re-elected. | But a man who has been in political harness | for a quarter of a century does not easily | leave Washington, even when in doing so he betters his financial affairs. It was supposed that in the event of re- put ican success In the state elections ex- Senator Wolcott would surely come back to the senate as Mr. Teller's successor. But Mr. Wolcott made enemies fn his own | party, and now has much opposition. Frank C. Goudy of Denver is the leadipg candi- date opposed to him. Everyone who attended the republican national .convention in St. Louls in 1895 remembers the dramatic exit of the dele- getes from the silver states. Utah, Colo- rado, Idho and Montana were represented in that theatrlc scene, When the Idaho men walked out of the hall headed by Senator Dubols, his colleague, George L. Shoup, member of the national committee, stepped down from the platform of Idaho d announced that the state was still rep- resented and that the. republican party in Idaho had not entirely vanished Washington Wants Shoup. Two years ago Idaho sent Fred Dubols back to the senate as the successor of George L. Shoup. Last month Idaho elected a republican legislature and next month a republican will be chosen to succeed Henry Heltfeldt, the populist colleague of Fred Dubots. There are half a dozen can- didates ip the fleld already and they all appear to think that they are entitled to the honor. But there is mo republican in the state to compare with George L. Shoup In party loyalty. Born in Pennsyl- vania he emigrated to the west before the clvil war. His experfence would furnish a magnificent basis for a “historic novel” on frontier life. He has been soldicr, miner and merchant, and he has done more than any ten men to bulld up his adopted state senator for more than ten years he | has worked day and night for the interest of his people, and knowing him as well as Mcan leaders should be deeply Interested in the contest in which he is ®0 prominent a figure. George L. Shoup was practically | the whole republican party in Idaho in | 1896. It was due to him more than to any other man that the organization was not entirely swamped in the campalgn of that year and but for -his efforts there would have been no republican legislature in 1903. Consequently every one in Washington is ‘squeesing’’ for him and 1t is the general | bellef here that he will win in epite of | the formidable opposition which has grown up to his return to the senate since the election of November.
