They are, indeed, so taut that all onlookers realize that they are about to break: but few unprejudiced per- sons would undertake to say positively | on which the disaster must befall. { The advocates of statchood were much encouraged by the vote of last week, and, contending that it has been demonstrated that there is a majority of the Senate tavordble to the bill, they declare that it is preposterous ask them to yield: { while the opposition urges that the vote | was not a test at all, and no real indica- tion of the attitude of the Senate. The cpponents of statehood say that the biil is standing in the way of other legisla- side to tion and contend that it must get out of the road and remain out when the ap- propriation bills begin to press to the front, as they soon will do. It is prob- ablc, however, that except at exceptional times the bill will hold its place in the front rank during the week It is the intention to use the appropria tion bills only in case there should be 1an effort to hold night sessions in order to secure action on the statehood bill. Senator Quay has more than once indi- cated his intention of asking the Senate to “sit continuously,” which means that | he is contemplating night sessions. The general understanding among the friend: | of ‘the measure is that the prolonged ses. | sion_ test will come early in | possibly about Tuesday night, but the Pennsylvania Senator has so far failed | to make authoritative announcement on | that point. QUAY WEARIES OF DELAY. Senator Quay now asserts hisi intention of pressing the bill more industriously than in the past, and the opposition Is just as pronounced in its declaration of | intention to resist its passage. They say that the bill cannot p: | them announce that they would rather | take the responsibility for an extra ses- | sion of Congress than have the statehood | Eill become a law. When the question is again taken up Sepator Burnham will proceed with his speech, and it is now the plan to have Senator Kean follow him. Senator Bev- eridge also will be heard on the bill, and the opposition is preparing, 1f necessary, i to introduce extraneous matter I'purpose of preventing .a vote. For in- | stance, one of the Senators has on his | desk a copy of the encyclopedia speech Gelivered by Senator Quay during his con- sideration of the Wilson-Gorman tarift bill, which he threatens to read, and an- other has at hand a voluminous history | of New Mexico.

ARGENTI, who for twenty years was an instructor in the Affillated Colleges and who was considered one of the most prominent scientists of the eity, passed away suddenly yesterday after- noon about 4 o'clock at his family resi- dence, 19 Belvedere street. He enjoyed fairly good health untll Saturday after- | noon, and his death vaje as a great sur- prise to his friends and relatives. Death is supposed to bave been due to embolus, which is caused by a blood clot becoming | lodged in an artery. Only a few days ago | the professor submitted to a minor opera- | tlon, and it is supposed that a clot of | blood from the operation stopped an ar- | tery in the heart or brain and thus | caused death. | About a week ago while Professor Ar- | genti was working in his pharmacy at 1501 Waller street he was burned about the hands and feet by the explosion of a can of gasoline. The burns were not severe and are not supposed to have had any | part in causing his death.

He was made professor of microscopy when that | study was introduced in the colleges. At the time of his death he was professor of materia medica, and he also held the | chair of botany, which was formerly filled by Professor Behr. It is due in a great measure to his ability and his consclen- tious devotion to duty that the Affiliated Colleges have attained their present state of efficlency.

Venezuela, being aware | that the guns of the fortress were in- ferior and of shorter range than the German guns, had learned by the experi- ence of the shelling of Puerto Cabello that if any one suffered it would be the fortress.” THIS ACCOUNT DIFFERS. MARACAIBO, Jan. 25.—The United States legation has been conducting an investigation here for the past six days, but the point as to whethek the Panther or Fort San Carlos fired thé first shot has not yet been elucidated. A reliable rerson says: ““The foreign element who are in close touch with the civil anthorities know that Fort S8an Carlos had received orders from Caracas that in case the Panther attempted to cross the bar and pass be- tore the fortress the laiter was to fire | on the German vessel, first with powder, to call attention. When. on January the Panther entered the narrow chan- nel inside the bar, four miles from the | fortress, heading for the interior of the | lake, the fortress fired a round of blank | shot. Then, seeing after the third blank shot that the intention of the Panther was to pass up the channel and force a pagsage past the foitress to gain Lake Maracaibo and capture the Vene- zuelan gunboat Miranda, the fortress fired with shell, and insrantly the Pan- ther, at 1300 yands range, answered with twelve guns, followed by hundreds of ‘shots. “It is reported, also, that the Panther carried a red flag as a signal; but as the fortress possessed no signal code and could not interpret the red flag as a peace symbol, white being the color of a parley flag, it regarded the actlon of the Panther as a premeditated aggres- sion.” U L APPROACH OF PEACE.

The “lily whites” have never been well pleased with the actions of President Roosevelt and his recent course in con- nection with negroes has made this feel- inz the mors marked. W. J. Davidson, who is chairman of the convention that met in Birmingham in September and eliminated negroes, Is strongly interested in the Hanna move- | ment. The removal of political office- | holders after that convention ddded to | the feeling of resentment toward the President. . /Davidson said to-day: ‘“President Roosevelt announced just after he as- sumed the office of President that he would carry out the policy of !rlclfinley.‘ but in this respect he has failed abso- lutely. “I think Mark Hanna is the'greatest American statesman and should be nomi- nated and elected to the Présidency. It would guarantee four years of the great- est prosperity and happiness in the his- tory of our country. “If he is a candidate 9 per cent of the Republicans of Alabama will be for him first, last and all the time. “I know that the rank and file of the Republicans in Alabama will not be for Special but will readily rally to Hanna as the most avaiiable man. “In fact, the Republicans of Alabama | have not now the same feeling for Roose- velt as they had when the convention met last September.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 2%.—Presiding at a complimentary banquet given on Satur- day to Professor Donald R the re- ciplent of the Nobel prize for medical re- search, Sir Alfred Jones announced that the United States had appiled to Pro- fessor Ross for advice and that he was going to America shortly WASHINTON, Jan. 25.—From informa- tion obtainable to-night no recent appli- cation has been made by officials of the United States for advice from Dr. Don- ald Ross, who, however, is well known here as the physiclan who discovered the fect that malarfal fever is transmitted by mosquitoes. About a year ago some in- formal talks were had by surgeons at- tached to the public health and marine hospital service, who called on Dr. Ross at his home in England with a view to the doctor becoming identified with the yellow fever Institute, a bureau of the service devoted to the study of yellow fever in all its branches. This was about the time that a commission was going to Vera Cruz to study the yellow fever situ ation, and Dr. Ross in a letter to these officials here having expressed a disincli- nation to 80 to any South American coun- try the consideration of his name in con- nection with the whole subject was dropped. No formal proposition ever was made to him. If a fresh proposition has been made to Dr. Ross it is believed that it proceeded from the Carnegie Institu- tion, but no information was obtaina to-night from the latter source. @ i e last night that the case would be settled soon and satlsfactorily MILES HURRYING HOME.

At the rafl- way station he sald he had been much impressed by the work Russia was doing in Siberfa. It Is suspected among Ameri- cans here that his hurry to get home is the result of Washington advices that he may be needed in the discussion of possi- ble intervention against Germany's war on Venezuela. —— CASTRO’'S TROOPS DEFEATED. | Commanding General Is Captured by . the Revolutionists. Special Cable to Tie‘wnlx and New York Herald. _Copyright, 3. by the New York Herald Publishing Company. WILLEMSTAD, Curacao/ Jan. %.— President Castro's troops have been de- feated by Venezuelan revolutionists in an important battle about forty miles west of Puerto Cabello. Scattered bodies of dealing with Venezuela's representative. This fact has especially appealed to the | Washington officials, who, while not par- | ticipating in the preliminaries, necessar- ily are vitally interested in their results. Although Germany is sending a special envoy here to-conduct the negotiations for her, Minister Bowen has taken occasion | to express his absolute satisfaction with | the manner in whicK Count Quadt has | represented his Government. | To-morrow there will be conferences between all the negotiators, but no definite | action is expected regarding the blockade | before Tuesday or Wednesday. & | Throughout his negotlations Bowen has | dealt separately with the foreign envoys. | While they have kept In constant touch | with one another, there has been no joint action on thelr part. The important fact was developed to- | day that the triple alliance against Vene- | zuela was far more comprehehsive than | was supposed at first. The agreement be- tween Great Britain, Germany and Italy involved only a joint Initiative action for the collection of their clalms, but each of the three powers pledged itself to lift the blockade simultaneously. This fact was iearned to-night from a European diplomat who is acquainted with the de- tails of the alliance and explains the | fruitless efforts made by Embassador | Meyer at Rome and Henry White, the American charge at London, as well as by Bowen, acting for Venezuela, to securs the consent of at least one of the allies | to lift the blockade. The ironclad nature of the alliance already has been com- municated to the State Department by White, and it is this fact which was re- sponsible for the grave apprehensions heretofore felt regarding the outcome of ihe dispute. The reply of the powers, therefore, necessarily will \be joint. A favorable answer to Minister proposition—and it is the belfef of all the regotiators to-night, as well as of the ad- ministration, that the answer will be fa- vorable—will mean the immediate with-{ drawal of all the blockading ships, while a declination to accept the guaranty of- fered by Bowen must result in the con- tinuance of the blockade by all three allies—Great Britain, Germany and Italy. Minister Bowen feels very optimistic to- night. He adheres to the bellef expressed defeatéd Government soidiers are arriv- ing in Puerto Cabello. Their commanding general was captured by the revolution= ists. PRE G TS Panther Still on Guard. MARACAIBO, Jan. 25.—All is quiet here to-day.
