Even the fact that the republicans are in such a majority in both houses and the fact that good legislation or bad I islation will be lafd at the door of the re- publican party will mot, it 1s not & bdad prediction, offset the rallroad argument.

AIWN."UMJY%M of &'l secrot ulllances Detween Germany and Taly ‘constituted the most important development in the Venesuélan situation tonight. This fact has been made known to the British tlators more closely on their guard in the drafting of the protocols which they hope to submit to Mr. Bowen during the next few days. The German-Ttallan alllance was old news to Mr. Bowen, he having learned of it in Caracas before he left there. Gen- erally speaking, it 1s intended to secure to Italy the same treatment in the allies’ settlement with Venesiela as that received by Germany and Great Britaln. Protocols Must Be Similar, Mr. Bowen has made it plain to both the British ambassador and the German min- {ster that he cannot affix his signature to ' any protocols they may present which are not substantially of the same character a8 that submitted by the Itallan ambassa- dor. All three.of the first set of protocols Italian, Brit- but their con- quainted @ yet with the details of each other’s conventions, Several important conferences took place throughout the day at the -British em- bassy in &n effort to reach an llmmnnt upon the protocols. Regarding reference to The Hague, M, Bowen has Informed the allies that he would not consent that one man be se- lected from the personnel of The Hague | tribunal to sit as arbiter in the question of preferential treatment. He wishes that the court shall consist of three and pref. erably of five members. Explalne Row with Bowen. ral: more or less sensational stories have been in ciroulation during the last few days, which have caused considerable an- noyance to the British ambassador and to the othef negotiators regarding the note Mr. Bowen- addressed to the former last Monday. That these reports may be cor- rected, the negotiators are desirous that the tacts be' stgted. On Tuesday, after receiving thé note, Sir Michael Herbert called on Mr. Bowen and asked that he withdraw the entire note, as it was not diplomatic in char- acter and Mr. Bowen refused. The ambassador then asked that the sen- tence beginhing “on this side of the wate we want peace And not aliances” be with. drawn. Again Mr. Bowsn re not grant the request Finally the ambassador represented that the latter part of the sentence regarding the continusnce of the alllance of Great Britain with Germany and Italy would cause him embarrassment when submitted to the Itallan ambassador and the German minister. Mr. Bowen replied that he would be only teo glad te do anything that would | turther the negotiations and at once struck out the objectionable clause, which read: And 1t will occasion great wun and hen it befomes known that D"l:: etted that he could ll! note wai. finally tr‘ll-llud by the French ambassador to the Italian end German embassies. Many exchanges are going on between Washington and European capitals as the result o fthe efforls of the allied repre- sentatives to prepare satistactory protocols. The task of drawing up the document is wvery complicated, owing to the necessity for providing against all contingencies and froming & set of agreements for tho set- tlement of the clakns that will st the attacks of astute internal lawyers. Meanwhile, messages. are be- tween Mr. Bowen and the allies’ represent- regards his case as made up) it is be- lieved that the negotiations will proceed to a successful conclusion. London Feels More Hopeful. LONDON, Feb. 7.~The ahnouncement from Washington that the Venezuelan pro- tocol is in course of construction, confirm- ing the hopeful view of the situation ex- pressed here, has'created great satisfac- tion. During the latter part of the week offi- clal ecircleg bave evinced aulet confidence | that in spite of alarm reports a. settle- ment' was in’ sightc There have been private expressions intense {rritation at Mr. Bowen's al- leged - breach of etiquette; but these ha! never been allowed to iuterfere. with i determination velced by both the British and German diplomats to secure & termi- nation of the difficulty through any fea- sible channel. Sir Michael Herbert's strigtures: found sympathetic support in Downing apparently formed the subject of exchanges of messages between Berlin, London and Rome, whence the representatives of those powers at Washington were instructed to present a_good front and prevent the re- currence of the publication of news of the nature of which he had complained. Antielpated in London. The refusal of President Roosevelt to ar- question as to whetber the in the settlement of their claims Veneguela s regretted, but wa pated. The strong disinclination of the British Forelgn office to have recourse to The Hague court of arbitration was founded chiefly on the bellef that between mow and the ren- dering of the court's decislon new com- plications may arise, and the declsion to refer the matter to The Hague was only antiol- | arrived at as-a lnst resort when the negotia- tions threatened to drag on indefinitely. The officials here are confidest that The Hague court will give the allies at least some measure of different trestment in the settlement of claims from that mccorded to the other nations who did not take ag- grossive steps to secured their alleged rights. Beyond some comparatively slight delib- erations over the words of the protocol no further trouble is expected here where the ralsing of blockade will be regarded th almost much relief as it. will be in enesuelu.

In his speech this evening he said he sincerely Hoped that in the course of & very few hours the Veneszuelan controversy would be closed. Defending Grest Brit- aln’s alliance with Germany, he sald the German government throughout had be- haved with perfect propriety and tact, “The objections to this alliance with Ger- many,” said the Indian secretary, “are in part based upon the recollections of the in- sults launched t the British army by acertaln section of the German press during the South African war, but the ef- fect of Great Britain's action in Venesuela will be to inform the world that it is mot apt to resent insults.” Ask to Land Ceal.
