PREFERRED TREATMENT IS ASKED FOR Castro's Delegate Refases and Am- bassadors Agree That All Debt- hall Be Treated on Eaquality. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The powers are yet haggling over the details of Mr. Bowen's last proposition regarding the lifting of the blockade and the guarantee he is prepared to offer, but Sir Michael Herbert, the British ambassador, is using his pereonal influence to secure the uccept- ance of Mr. Bowen's proposition The first joint conference of the Ven ezuelan negotiators took place during this afternoon by appointment in Mr. Bowen's departments, Signor Mayor des Planches, the Itallan ambassador, making the repre- sentations in French Deta Alone Remain, The question under discussion was matter of the merest detall, the envoys wanting to know whether the monthly payment to ailles should be in propor- tion to the amount of the claims, or whether Great Britain, Germany and Italy would recelve the same amounts each month until the indemnity was paid. Mr. Bowen sald he was quite willing to leave that to the powers themselves, and tha: any arrangement they made would be sat- istactory to Venezuela. Another detall involved the question of preferential treatment of the allied pow- ers as against France, Denmark, Holland, Norway and Sweden, Belglum, Spain and the United States in the payment of the indemnity. The point was made by Venezuela's rep- resentative that were the dispute referred to The Hague tribunul all the powers would be required to stand on an equality, and furthermore that as this question did not form a part of the allles’ condition prece dent to the raising of the blockade it did not seem fair that it should be presented as essential now that Venezuela had com- plied with the original proposition and ot- fered a satisfactory guaranty. This answer was cabled offices in London, Berlin and Rome to- night, and & is hoped that favorable an- swers will be recelved tomorrow. force of Mr. Bowen's pealed to the allies’ repersentatives here, and there 1s reason to belleve that Great Britain, Germany and Italy will yleld and sign the protocol for the ralsing of the blockade. The blockade once lifted, the representa- tives of all the powers having claims will treat with Mr, Bowen separately for set- tiement. Believe Castro i Sincere. BERLIN, Jan. 27.—President Castro's offer of 30 per cent of the customs receipts of La Guayra and Puerto Cabello as & guar- anty for the payment of foreign claims is regarded in official circles here as evidence of the sincerity of his intention to reach a satisfactory settlement. The offer, however, includes the claims of other countries besldes those taking part in the blockade, and some doubt is vx- pressed as to whether 30 per cent is ade- quate. A discussion Is now proceeding to determine this point. It is also uncertain whether the allies will admit that powers which did not jein in the blockade shall share in the results the former secured through expensive naval operations. England and Germany Agree. LONDON, Jan. 27.—The following state- ment was authorized by the German em- bassy here: “There is not the slightest truth in the reports of friction or misunderstanding be- tween England and Germany in regard to Venezuel “Both governments continue to act in perfect harmony and will simultaneously withdraw the blockade at the earliest pos- sible moment. It is to be regretted that the House of Commons is not in session, as & question in the house would doubtless reveal the perfect understanding which exists between the two countries. “There has been no disapproval of any Kkind expressed by the British government regarding Germany's conduct of affairs in connection with Venezuela. “No date has yet been settled upon for ralsing the blockade, but it will cease Just as soon as the representatives of the powers reach a final agreement with Mr. Bowen. ¥ “The feeling expressed In the press here and reflected in the cable dispatches from New York that England finds the German alliance embarrassing is in no way con- firmed by the government's attitude.” Ofter Castro Momey. CARACAS, Jan. 27.—The government has received from banks in Mexico and South American cities offers of money with which to pay the foreign claims. Similar pro- posals have been recelved from Paris. The news cabled yesterday that the blockade would be called off tomorrow is confirmed by the semi-official press here, which says: There are well-founded reasons today for the bellef that the blockade will be sus- pended between today and tomorrow night. Each block of strects in Caracas was lighted yesterday by only one gas burner. The companies possessing electric plants, however, are prepared to light the clty with arc lamps if necessary.

OMAHA, Jan. To the Bee: It seems to the writer zens and business men of Omaha, as well as its United States senator, ought to file vigorous protests with the postmaster gen- eral against the rank discrimination which is practiced against Omaha in the assign- ment and government of lines in the rail- way malil service. By way of preliminary statement let it be known that Omaha is today the official headquarters of ten lines of rallroad mail service routes aggre- gating 1,320 miles in length The town of Lincoln s headquarters for thirty-nine lines, or routes aggregating 4,926 miles The town of Sioux City headquarters for twenty-seven routes, aggregating miles. Omaha's paltry ten makes a nic showing, indeed, for a city having a largér population and more railroad connections in every direction than the other two cities combined! The raflway mail service is described by the postmaster general as the right arm of the postal service. It is today the very life blood of the entire postal gervice and consequiently of the business world. The affairs of this service, the rigid examina- tions required of employes, and, in fact, the entire operating machinery locally is vested in a chief clerk who is stationed in each of the large cities or important towns. The towns of Lincoln, Omaha and Sioux City have such officials. The office at Lincoln has charge of all lines or nearly all in the South Platte country, and as the mileage of that section exceeds the rallroad mileage of the North Platte se tion, this would account to some extent for its excess of business over Omaha. Editor of The But with the Sioux City office it is differ- | ent. That office controls a large part of the eastern South Dakota lines, as well as others radiating directly from Sfoux City But where the discrimination comes in is in glving Sioux City jurisdiction of the north Nebraska, Wyoming and Black Hiils lines of the Elkhorn rallroad. This is ex- clusively an Omaha railroad and does not touch anywhere near Sfoux City. The of- ficlals of the road are located in Omaha, with whom the raflway mail service of- ficinls necessarily haveé considerable busi- ness. Every consideration of justice to the business interests atif ‘to the postal serv- ice of Omaha would sbem to require that | no_delay be permittedin demanding from the Postofice departm:nt an assignment of the Elkhorn lines to the Omaha office, instead of Sioux City. BUSINESS MA Jail Del The police of this city recelved word from Fremont last night that Charles Miller broke jafl there vesterday evening. Miller was arrested In this city January 4 on the charge of robbing a saloon at Scribner, and plead gullty, recelving a sentence of one year In the penitentiary. He made a con- fession implicating A, M. Hanscomb, who was_ arrested in this city. The Fremont sheriff came here after him and on turn- ing home last evening found that: had sawed his way out of the Fremont jail, very at Fremont. Ak-Sar-Ben Board of Governors. At the meeting of the board of governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben last night the new bylaws of the organization were approved. President Fry did not announce the standing committees. as the new bylaws provide for some minor changes, and he could not make the appointments until after they had been adopted. He announced that the committees would be appointed next week. LOCAL BREVITIES.
