WON’T ACT AS

President Roosevelt Declines Invitation to Arrange Settlement of Venezuelan Dispute ---Allies Agree to Refer the Matter to The Hague Tribunal.

Washington, Dec. -27. — President Roeosevelt will not be the arbitrator of the Venezuelan controversy. The whole vexatious subject will be referred for adjudication to The Hague tribunal.

Epitomized, this was the situation as it had resolved itself at the conclusion of the cabinet meeting Friday. The meeting was not so long as the gessions of the cabinet usually ard. All the members except Secretary Root were present. The Venezuelan question was the principal and practically the only topic of general concern under consideration. Secretary Hay presented the net results of his cable correspondence with the governments at London, Berlin, Rome and Caracas. In accordance with the suggestions made several days ago by President Roosevelt, through Secretary MHay, President Castro, of Venezuela, was reported to have agreed to submit the differences between his government and the Luropean powers to the arbitration of the tribunal at The Hague. The European powers not only consented to submit the controversy to arbitration, but, while they had expressed a preference for an arbitration to be conducted by President Roopsevelt, they had assented to his suggestion that the matter be referred to The Hague.

The presentation of the case met the hearty approval of the members of the cabinet. No fear is expressed by the administration that the Monroe doctrine will be brought into the controversy inany manner that might result in an embarrassing situation for. the United States. Secretary Hay is preparing a note to the powers in which the gratification of this government is expressed for the course agreed upon by them in settlement of the pending difficulties. ;

‘)l ust Apologize.

President Castro, only by apologizing to Great Britain and Germany for the attacks made upon the foreign legations at Caracas and agreeing to certain conditions upon which the powers insist, can pave “the way to have the embroglio referred to The Hague arbitration tribunal for settlement. Great Britain, Germany, Ttaly, Venezuela its.elf, and the United States all desire to have this course pursued, and unless the South American president displays an uncompromising . spirit the difficulty which has involved the leading powers of the world can certainiy be settled amicably.

A DEADLY. COLLISION.

Grand Trunk Express Train Crashes Into a Freight—Five Killed and Fifteen Injured. :

London. Ont., Dec. 27.—Five persons were killed and 15 injured in the wrecking ofthe Pacific express on the Grand Trunk railway, which left here at 9:30 o'clock for Sarnia. Three passengers and the engineer of the freight and the fireman of the express are said to be dead. The Pacific expresscollided with a fast freight, which was going east at Wanstead. The express train does not usually stop at Wanstead, but. goes through the village at full speed. The Grand Trunk officials at once made up a special train and sent doetors and nurses with all ‘the necessary appliances to the scene of the wreck.’ Since the" first report of the accident all regular trains have been directed from the regular route and are being sent over the old Grand Trunk line by way of Stratford. The express wasanhour behind schedule time when it left this city. Tt is a through run from here to Sarnia, no stops being made at the «mall stations on the line. Thie express should have passed the freight at Strathroy. The Pacific express connects with eastern trains over the New York Central, Erie and Lehigh Valley at Suspension Bridge.

Currency Transfers.

Washington, Dec. ' 27, — United States Treasurer Roberts said Friday that so far during December $1,446,000 in currency had been transferred in New Orleans against deposits in New York: $700,000 to San Francisco and $1,369,000 to Chicago. These figures are over $1,500,000 below those for December, 1900, and about $2000,000 below those for last Decen:ber. No large additional transfers are expected soon.

To Advance Price of Shoea.

Vienna, Dec. 27.—The ' Austrian manufacturers have decided to -advance the price of shoés ten!per cent. on account of the higher cost of leather. They claim this step is due to extensive purchases of hides in the European markets by Americans, who have practically cleaned out the continental stocks.

Four Injured.

St. Paul, Dec. 27.—A special from Rochester, Minn., says: In a collision here four persons were injured quite seriously. The westbound train on the Northwestern was running by the Red Wing train. A mail and passenger car on the former were overturned and the engine of the latter was demolished. :

ARBITRATOR.

gard it as quite certain that Castro will not show a stubborn spirit when he is made to realize that the powers will not make any more concessions. His apology and compliance with the other conditions, which the state department refuses to discuss, is confidently expected after a little preliminary show of resistance on the part of President Castro. .On the other hand, however, it is quite possible that the belligerent South American will decline [to apologize, asshe may hold that he has nothing to apolcgize for. Castro may insist on this point, and, after all, President Roosevelt, as the only way out of the dificulty, would be called upon to arbitrate the question as to whether Venezuela shall apologize to Germary and Great Britain before the poins involved in the controversy are submitted to The Hague tribunal. . Allies Agree to The Hague. Berlin, Dec. 27.—\ semi-official note published Friday says: Asin the case of the Italian note, the British and German notes on Venezuela presented December 23 declares that if President Roosevelt does not accept the post of arbitrator, the powers would be prepared, subject to certain resérvations, to submit the matter to The Hague tribunal. Opinion in London. London, Dec. 27.—Except by the opponents of the government who view it as a virtual defeat and as discrediting the ministry, the latest phase of the Venezuelan trouble has been welcomed very . lukewarmly. Arbitration by President Roosevelt had been anticipated as so desirable an issue from a diffieult business that his refusal, which is regarded as final, has caused keen disappointment.. It is foreseen that even if satisfactory conditions to the submission of the disputes to The Hague court cau be arranged, this method will entail endless and wearisome details, with no assurance that at the end President Castro still will be in power or Venezuela in the. mood to abide by the decision of The Hague. In short, that element of guarantee which would have accompanied Roosevelt's acceptance of the office of arbitrator is now lacking. At the same time it is readily admitted that {rom the American point of view President Roosevelt has acted wisely in declining to act. The foregoing represents the general drift of newspaper comment this morning.

TRADE REVIEW.

Quiet Follows the Usual Holiday Rush in Many Lines of Business.

New York, Dec. 27.—~R. G. Dun & Co’s Weekly Review of Trade says: “Trade and speculation experienced the customary holiday quiet, except in Christmas goods, which sold freéely, many packing and shipping departments being still engaged on this class of work, which could not. be completed

at the specified time. Industrial undertakings are interrupted in many cases by the taking of inventories, while other plants are closed because fuel cannot be obtained. Orders still come forward freely, and the new year will open with more business on the books than ever before. Prices of commodities are firmly held by the steady domestic demand, and there is a good export movement of the leading stapleg. In this, as in many other instances, however, there is still the drawback of inadequate transporting facilities which restrict shipments to the seaboard. Financial conditions are satisfactory. Railway earnings thus far reported for the month of December surpass last year's by 5.0 per cent. and those of 1900 by 11.6 per cent. Quiet conditions in the iron and steel industry, unaccompanied by any sign of weakness. testify to the healthy tone and suggest a bright-outlook for the coming year.. Furnaces and mills will extend the season of idleness beyond the usual time, not because orders are lacking, but in order to accumulate a moderate supply of coke. A verylarge amount of business will be carried over into next year, probably more than in any previous season. Failures for the week numbered 209 in the United States, against 250 last year and 21 in Canada, compared with 23 a vear ago.”

Bradstreet’s says: ‘“Satisfaction with the old and confidence in the new year are the dominating features as 1902 draws to a close. The enormous holiday trade, exceeding in most respects all records, proved to be a fitting crown to a year of almost unprecedented business and industrial activity. Except in some sections of the south and southwest, where crop and weather conditions had led to a modification of other sanguine expectations. the volume of seasonable business is in most respects satisfactory. In the east, the west, the northwest and on the Pacific coast. there is but one note, and that of satisfaction with the results achieved during the past few weeks. Additional reports received of trade distribution for the year confirm those hitherto given of an enormous volume of business, modified, it is true, in some respects by higher cost of materials and wages limiting profits. With the larger turn over, however, and the active demand in most lines, the profit side has not been entirely lost sight of, and it is safe to say that equally satisfactory returns in years to come would proeve acceptable. Reports of results in banking circles this year are that good profits have been gained as a result of the comparatively high and at the same time steadv rates of money.”

LYNCHED WRONG MAN.

Investigation Shows That the Negro Hanged by Mob in Kansas Was Not Slayver of Officer.

Pittsburg. Kan.. Dec. 27.—1 t is reported that Joe Godley, a brother of Montgomery Godley, who was lynched by a mob here Thursday morning, is wounded and in hiding at Weir City, Kan., and later investigation of the trouble between Officer Hinkle and the Godley Dbrothers tends to show that Joe, and not the man who was lynched, fired the shot which killed the policeman. Two other brothers, Gus and Jess, are in jail at Girard, charged with being: implicated in the murder, but Joe escaped. The mother of the Godley boys is said to havegasked a physician here to treat Joe for a gunshot wound in the neck. She would not tell the whereabouts of her son. and the doctor refused to go with her. The officer's revolver, with which he was killed, has not been found, and it is believed that the man who did the killing has the pistol in his possession.
