THE MOENma OKEGONIA2T,. DECEMBER TUESDAY, 30, 1902. BOWEN HAS CHARGE Will Treat With Allies on Be half of Castro. HE IS GOMIKG TO WASHINGTON State Department Hands Over Bhe laevs to llljn German Military "Writer Condemn Monree Doo trlne Still Blockaded. "WASHINGTON. Dec 29. The Venezue lan negotiations now await upon Presi dent Castro. Minister Bowen has been fully advised by the State Department of the result of Its exchange with the For eign Offices at London, Berlin and Rome, and he has been charged to take the case in hand himself and arrange the details of the protocol, which will precede the submission of the foreign claims to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. In so doing Mr. Bowen is acting, not as United States Minister, but as Venezuela's repre sentative. The ofllclals here wish It to be distinctly understood that their functions ceased so far as the Venezuelan difficulty was concerned, when they brought the parties to the controversy together. By the latest Venezuelan advices it 1b .noted that President Castro is expected at Caracas today, and it is felt that he will not consume much time in making up his mind to accept the proposals held out to him through Minister Bowen by the allied powers. It now seems probable that Minister Bowen -will come to Washington as Ven ezuela's representative on the commission which will draw up tho protocol provid ing for the submission of the claims of the powers to The Hague tribunal. It has been decided that he may so repre sent Venezuela, notwithstanding the fact that he Is at present charged with the interests of Great Britain, Germany, Italy and other European powers In Venezuela. As soon as he leaves Venezuela this charge will pass to Mr. Russell, the secre tary In charge of the American Legation, whese reputation at the State Department Is that of a thoroughly competent and able official. The selection of Mr. Bowen will cause a postponement of the assem bling of the proposed commission until he can arrive here from Caracas. DENOUNCES MONROE DOCTRINE. German Military Writer Says United States In Conceited. BERLIN, Dec 29. General von Bogus lawski, one of the foremost military writ er, contributes to the Taegllch Rundschau his views upon the Monroe Doctrine, and nrgue3 that the withdrawal of the block ade at tfiis stage would show a singular weaknez-a. After alluding to the late Prince Bismarck's expression that the Monroe Doctrine wao a "great piece of Impudence," the General says: ''That was a true word. America is divided into many states. In varieties of race and language ehe Is hardly second to Europe. How can one state assert that it has the right of interference and pro tection over an entire continent and that It will tolerate only under certain condi tions any actions, however Just, of Euro pean nations against an American state? A further question is how It happens that thl doctrine, et up SO years ago by an American statesman, has been able to Justify Itself In fact with absolutely no justification In the laws of the nations? "When the United States feels herself threatened through any occupation of ter ritory of course she has the right, like any other nation, to raise a protest, and, If necessary, employ force. But there must be no talk of even an apparent recognition of the Monroe Doctrine as an international law principle on the part of the European nations. If the latter act otherwise, they will eoon feel the thumb screws which they put on thereby. "Through the war against ill-equipped Spain, American self-importance has been infinitely Increased, often showing a dis cased character. The courtesies shown America by Germany have naturally not diminished that self-esteem. How little success exceeslve courtesy has Is again shown here. Certainly the allies can not be blamed for sparing the United Statea sensitiveness to the greatest excite ment and m seeking an agreement there with. Regarding the action against Vene zucla. the allleo not only did so, but even to the length of offering President Roose velt tho arbltratorshlp after beginning military action. He refused, and, indeed, for the reason that .the justice of the case of the allies -was so eelf-evldent that his decision could only have been unfavorable to Venezuela, thereby damaging the United States' popularity with the other nations of that hemisphere. Now that warlike action has begun, no thumbscrews can be tolerated as to how far the rction will extend. Giving- the United States promises would divest the action before hand of lasting effect. If the United States raises serious objections against this, she would have to determine what means are at her disposal to give validity to her objections. President Castro's de mand that the powers raise the blockade and return the captured vessels must meet with a decisive veto. Otherwise we shall have a repetition of the disgrace of Olmuetz at sea." The Frankfurter .Zcltung nails President Roo?evelt's refusal as good news and praises the United States for having done so much to bring The Hague tribunal into vogue, referring to the cases already sent there at the United States', instance. The Lokal Anzelger prints an inspired statement to the effect that nothing is known by the Berlin officials regarding the reported Intention of the powers to raise the blockade, adding that the ques tion has not yet been taken into consid eration. The Neuste Nachrichten says It nopes the statement that Minister Bowen will represent Venezuela's case, is not true "since the United States would appear In a bad light, after refusing arbitration and keeping the biggest hand In the game in an Irresponsible way." The Lokal Anzelger 's Caracas correspon dent asked President Castro if he was ready to apologize to the powers, to which the President replied: "General Castro has nothing to apolo gize for." The bystanders, the correspondent adds, cheered and shouted "bravo," when they heard the President's reply. The German merchants of Caracas, it Is asserted by the correspondent, say they are ready to advance President Castro the money to meet tho demands of Germany, "although they know the President is able to pay it himself." BENT ON ARBITRATION. Germany Will Settle That Way Evea If Castro Is Fractions. BERLIN. Dec 23. Foreign Secretary von Richthofen Is awaiting the receipt of President Castro's answer to the proposal to submit th Venezuelan dispute to the arbitration of The .Hague tribunal with certain reservations before corresponding with Great Britain over the personnel of the tribunal or the date for raising the blockade. Assuming that President Castro de clines to accept the reservations, will ar bitration fall through?" asked the corre spondent of the Associated Press of a Foreign Office official today. The official replied: "A settlement -will be reached by arbitration In any event." The German government Is completely silent as o when the Venezuelan block ade -will bo raised, or whether It will be raised at all until every Question con cerning arbitration Is settled. The ac ceptance of arbitration after thi WnoV. ade was declared is not received with popular favor In Germany. Von Hollcbcn Takes Charge. WASHINGTON. Dec 23.

Wright' tem at Ad vancement of Science Congress Modern Use of Power. WASHINGTON, Dec 29. The American Association for the Advancement of Sci ence began Its 52d annual meeting here today. Tho attendance was large. President-elect Dr. Ira A. Remsen presided. Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of La bor, and vice-president of the section of social and economic science, spoke before that body .on "The Psychology of the La bor Question." JSe said In part: "Observation and experience, covering many years of Investigation of various elements of the labor question, have con vinced me that there are underlying feat ures which cannot be reached by the sta tistical method; that the mental attitude of parties has very much to do with the labor question, from whatever standpoint It Is considered. This is well illustrated by the statistics relative to mortgages. At the Hth census an attempt was made to classify the causes or the reasons for mortgaging homes and farms. It was HERMANN TO RESIGN. shown that nearly- 95 per cent of the mort gages indicated prosperity rather than the reverse. The desire to add to the, original noimng, or to .raise money ior usine3s operations, or to educate children, or for me improvement or existing property, was the motive. All these Indicate something entirely different from the prevailing Im pression that a mortgage represents dis aster or failure or some 111 condition. The balance, 5 per cent, represented the lack of business capacity, some the failure or disaster coming to the proprietor. "So In the labor problem, one can ascer tain the total number of strikes and the apparent causes; losses, etc., but the real motive of the strike cannot be disclosed by the statistics, and often the psychological view must be studied and the apprehen sions and fears of the strikers consid ered." "Modern Tendencies In the Utilization of Power" was the topic of the address of Professor Joseph Flather, vice-president of the department of manufacturing, sci ence and education. Regarding the use of compressed air, he said that enthusiasm for new methods rather than good judg ment has controlled in many of Its ap plications. Compressed air and electricity, he said, each has Its own field of useful ness. The outlook for oil fuel In general competition .with poal or long-distance electric transmission, he said. Is not en couraging. The gas engine, he said, In both large and small sizes, has reached "a point in Its development, where it can fairlv rival the steam engine in reliabil ity and satisfactory running qualities. In point of fuel economy, a gas engine of modern size is on a parity with the larg- trlnle-exDansion steam engine. The American Chemical Society, one of j the largest bodies affiliated with the American Society for the advancement of science, also had Its Initial session today ii an nttnnflnnce of about 200 persons. ! The principal address was made by Dr. A. E. Deschewnltz, chief of the blochemic division of tho Department oi Agriculture. In bis discussion of tuberculosis he an nounced that virulent tuberculosis germs obtained from a human being would cause the disease In cattle. NO CONFERENCE WITH HARRIMAN.

Accoraing to ais- patches from Omaha, a conference was to" be held today in tne orace oi jk. n. xmi riman, of the Union Pacific Railroad, be tween Mr. Harriman and the labor lead ers, with n view to settling the .strike in the machine shops of the Union, Pacific Mr. Harriman's secretary said In refer ence to the matter: "We know nothing of any reported con ference with labor leaders. .' We have called no conference, have been notified of no conference, and do pot see why there should be any conference. There Is -no strike now to arbitrate.- The trouble began about five months ago or more, and the places of the strikers have been filled bv nonunion men." The labor men were reported to have left Chicago yesterday. James Wilson, business agent of the New York branch f iYii "international Association of Ma- I chlnlsts, said: 1 "I do not believe there have been any i conferences yet, and I believe It would be hard to find the party. If there can be i no conference and no settlement, the strike will be extended to the shops of other roads." MAY SUE FOR INJUNCTION. ! Boycotted Company Wins First Point In Salt AgraiiiKt Unions. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 29. Judge John F. Phillips, In the United States District Court here, today hold . that a foreign U,VJ?" ;,n.. ii,,nH 4 i Federal Court for an Injunction. The Be ta- Clerks' Union and the Tailors' Union had declared a boycott against the Schull & Jclley Furnishing Go6ds Company, be cause that firm kept its store open after 6 o'clock, and caused pickets to patrol the sidewalk In front of Its place of business. The firm, unable to secure an injunction in the state courts, incorporated under the laws of Colorado, and applied to the Federal Court as a foreign corporation. The unions filed a plea setting up that the court had no Jurisdiction, and 'that the firm was not a bona fide corporation. Judge Phlllllps does not pass upon the Injunction feature, but holds simply that such a question as to whether a corpora tion exists or not can be raised .only by the state granting the charter to the com pany.

I have examined, in my position, and passed upon 50 or 60 decisions Of his in this connection, and I have not found one of them at fault. Hitchcock Is antiquated in his opinions.
