The on thrilling incident of the trip down was the sprint Chief Clerk Clio Lioyd of the Assembly hmade to escaje losing the train at Livermore. He started uptown to get some smelling salts for a lady and some practical joker rang the bell when he had gone three blocks. He broke the record getting back and then sat patiently for five minutes waiting for the train to go.

The bill provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale any intoxicating liquor within 500 fect of the exterior boundaries of any United States mili- The distance provided in the bill is not great, but in the opinion of the au- thor of the measure it is sufficient to compel the removal of a number of aloons nmow sit- uated at the Presidio gate. It is understood that the bill was prep: after consultation h certain officers at the Presidio and with citizens_interested in property in that section of San Francisco. The bill is, of course, aimed Wholly at condiiions now cs:sting, there, but the place is not mentioned because that would not be possible in a general law. P g HOME LIGHTING RATES.

London Rebukes Embassador for Of- fending Bowen. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Should the character of the cablegrams that the British Embassagor has been sending to his Government regarding the attitude of inister Bowen become public the coun- try would be furnished with sensational diplomatic incidents. Tt is the opinon of the Venezuelan negotiators other than the British Embassador that the latter is directly responsible for the abrupt break- | ing off of negotiations with Minister Bow- en. It is the opinion in officlal crecles here that Mnister Bowen had an absolute right—acting for Venezuela, of course—to object: to President Roosevelt acting as arbitrator. To do o would cause pain to Bowen, whose admiration for Mr. Roose- velt s well known, but he fells obliged to itution has been | i | | | | | | last proposition for a 20 and | | | | 1 | casion (o say several times since the Mon- | ana surprising generosity throughout the | livered the address of welcome. Mr. | ller when the time for speechmaking | ived called upon J. O. Hayes, Judge | . H. Hyland, C. D. Willard, representing | Chamber of Commerce of Los An- | | geies; Speaker Fisk, Senators Shortridze emblyman Ell Wright and Oneal and A for remarks. Mayor Worswick said San Jose would promptiy r the $1,000,000 and give the site required. He spoke of the beauty of the city and its surroundings, Its train service, its fine climate and said he hoped the members of the Legislature would soon be yisiting San Jose biennially to make the te's law \Speaker k brought forth cheers by his unequivocal stand in favor of removal. He sald it would cost the State $1,500,000 to ir the present Capitol and that a new one should be built. San Jose wa the best place for it, he said. Miss Camp- bell, Miss Irene Campbell and Miss Eleanor Cator entertained with music. | GOVERNOR NOT PRESENT. i Governor Pardee was not present.

Toe ng legislators offered, and in the afternoon will visit Alum Rock, now a city park, through the courtesy of Hugh Cent of the 1 nta Clar Eleciric Railway Company. No specia train will be sent back to Sacramento, but the tickets held by the v < wi'l be socd to and including Monday on any | train, so many of the legislators will | probabiy stay over Sunday. | President Scheller - of the San Jose | Chamber of Commerce said this evening | that he had assurances from Los Angeles that the south would stand by the amend- | ment if it passed the Legislature and that he believed it would carry before the peo- ple. He said San Jose was ready to ful- fill every promise made and that a beau- | tiful site would be secured. keep well in mind the fact t he is here not as an American, but as a representa tive of Venezuel i r The British Embassador's conduct has resulted in several important details of the momentous conference of Monda t leaking out, and these are now sub- stantiated by the other negotiutors piks- ent. It seems that when the British Em Qassador, who took the lead at this con- ference, had finished reading thé cable- gram of Lord Lansdowne containing his 10 per cent division of the customs receipts of Puerto Cabello and La Guaira between the allies | nd the other claimant nations, respec- | vely, Bowen at once remarked in an em- | patic tone that the proposition’ was but arother scheme to trick Venezuela into | abetting an alliance against her for six years, and probably longer. He added tkat he would not consent to any scheme for continuing the triple ailiance one day longer than he was forced to. A diplo- mat said afterward: “It was Mr. Bowen who exploded the | bombshell the moment the proposition was made.” The charge that Great Britain was en- deavoring secretly to continue her alli- ance with Germany was resented by the British Embassador, though he showed no ill feeling at the conference. After the conference, it said, he sent a cable- gram to London stating that he was dis- pleased with the conduct of Bowen, and that if it were left to him to decide he would not continue negotiations with him. He expressed to his conferees of the dip- Jomatic corps the greatest indignation that an Embassador from the court of St. James should be so treated. On the other hand, both the Itallan Embassador and the German Minister have taken oc- | | | is day conference that Bowen has treated | all the negotiators with uniformscourte: negotiations, and only yesterday both of these diplomats celled and expressed | thanks for his consideration of them. “Mr. Bowen must stand up for Vene- zuela,” it was explained. “If he did not he would forfeit our respect.” Arnother feature of the last twenty-four | heurs has been the receipt of an exceed— ingly tart cablegram from Lord Lans- downe at the British embassy. The cable, it is stated, went so far as to remind the British Embassador that he was here to obey orders. . RAISING 'OF BLOCKADE. | Peace to Begin With the Signing of the Protocols. TLONDON, Feb. 5.—At the Foreign Office ! here to-night it was stated that the off- clals regarded the Herbert-Bowen inci- dent as closed and that they did not con- sider it 1o be the slightest bar to a satis- factory solution of the Venezuelan ques- | tion. It is officiaily announced that the allies’ offer to submit the method of treatment | cause of the tragedy. | | bedving MINER STRAYS N THE STORM Hapless Traveler in Trin- ‘ | 1t ity County Narrow- ! ly Escapes. fal Dispatch to The Call REDDING, Feb. 6—A party of miners returning from the Bully Choop mine in Trinity County had a thrill- ing experience heavy snow | on Bully Choop Mountain.

The allies will raise | the blockade as soon as the protocol em- 1 the arbitration agreement is signed and will not await the decision of the court of arbitration. At the German Embassy it was said that the blockade would be raised within a few days. The announcement from Washington that the United States Senate will not ratify the Alaskan boundary treaty is at- tributed in some quarters to the exasper- ation created in the United States by England’s attitude in the Venezuelan question. The Liberal organs character- ize the breakdown of the negotiations, the success of which was trumpeted with such vigor by the Ministérial press, as “ahother shock to the prestige of the Foreign Office.” The Daily News says: “That most in- secure fabric, British popularity with the Americans, has sustained a damaging blow in connection with the Venezuelan affair.” Foreign Secretary Lansdowne is urged to study. the history and national charae- ter of .the United States “before embark- ing on his next trans-Atlantic venture.” THE CAPITAL ROOT MAKES AN ONSLAUGHT ON UNIDNIM War Secretary Says It Puts Premiun on Sloth. Blunt Speech at Meeting of the Union Club in New York. Cabinet Member Also Declpres That Suffrage for the Ne Has Proved an Utter Fail- ure. o Special Dispateh to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—In a speech punc- tuated alternately with cheers and chilled silence, Secretary of War Root to-night at the anniversary meeting of the Union Club, sald: There s a tendency—growing, I fear— to dissensions between the wealthy and the poor, under which wealth tends con- stantly to endeavor to control matters gegerally through legislation, thus stir- rm‘ up conflict and war upon the wealthy, based on envy and jealousy Every good citien should make his pro- test and set his face against it and make certain that in this country of ours we shall have no war of classes. A -second problem is a tendency to | check individual enterprise and develop- ment. The chaice that every poor boy has by his own efforts, his industry, his energy and his courage to rise as high as a man can rise is at the very foundation of our Hberty. abor unions are increasing the pro- hibition against the better man making the most wages and dbing the most work he is capable of, In favor of the poorer workmen. his is putting a premium on sloth and stupidity But let us set our faces against the tendeney to say to any American boy, ‘You shall not do the best you can.’ A third problem is one with which this club might well be concerned.
