WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Mr. Bowen's decisive note rejecting the divisional scheme proposed by. the British Am- bassador led to numerous conferences to-day. » Baron Sternburg an early caller at Mr, Bowen's hotel today and ai hour later he was joined in Mr, Bowen's rooms by the British Ambassador and they spent half an hour in joint confer- ence with Venezuela’s representative, Friends of Trolleymen Do Not.

The Brooklyn district was ‘the eeene of the first violence to-day, a number of) the strikers massing there and stoping the cars of the company, which run without armed the British Ambassador leaving first. + — It is certain that attempts to reach a compromise have been by no means abandoned and that this forenoon’s con- ference was devoted to that object. By appointment the three representa- tives met shortly after noon at the British Embassy, and while, owing to the 1igif Umitations under which they are acting, these representatives must refer to their home governments at every step in the negotiations, they are still not preeluded from themselves de- | vising schemes of settlement which may { be approved. ‘Te Settle It Here. f It appears that the issue is now be- tween a reference of the case to ‘The Hague Tribunal for adjudication of the single point of preferential claims and the framing of a complete compromise agreement here in Washington, which ball provide for @ full settlement of aif the Venesuelan ciatms. Tt ts known that Baron Sternburg, representing Germany, {s earnestly de- sirous of avoiding recourse to The Hague, and wishes to reach a speedy settlement in Washington by direct arrangement between Mr. Bowen and , himself. Mr, Bowen ts penfectly willing to meet this wish, but sooner than sac- mifice the principle involved in the ‘cwance of preferential claims in un- jue proportion, he is willing to sur- render whatever of personal glory he ' might have expected to realize from effecting a complete settlement here id allow the case to go to The ue, ¢ point has been made that a mere desire on the part of Venezuela's rep- resentative to seid the case to The Tague ts not sufficient to effect that, ipasmuch as conditions precedent must be met.
