"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.

Carroll D. 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

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.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29. 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."

ta- Clerks' Union and the Tailors' Union
had declared a boycott against the Schull

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

HERMAN1S IS TO GO.
(Concluded
J. M. Williamson, the Commissioner, who,
under Carl Schurz, the then Secretary of
the Interior, drafted the celebrated Dude
meyer decision, which took away several
million acres of land granted to the Union
Pacific. Under the decision all lands not
sold within five years reverted to the
Government. This was one of the first
things that confronted Commissioner Her
mann. Notwithstanding tho fact that
the Supreme Court of the United States
had decided that a mortgage was a dis
posalgiving a cloud to the Government
title Commissioner Hermann agreed with
his predecessor, Williamson. I was then,"
said the special agent, "chief clerk of tho
Land Department dt Washington, and I
know whereof I speak. Jay Gould had
a midnight conference with Carl Schurz,
Secretary of the Interior, and offered
every sort of Inducement to the Secretary
to reverse the decision. But the Supreme
Court having decided In the matter, al
though It reversed his decision, Schurz
stood Arm.
"Mr. Hermann, in all his decisions, al
though not a great lawyer, has been sus
tained by the courts. The differences be
tween himself and Secretary Hitchcock,
no matter how decided, will reflect to his
credit. I do not like to refer to the Sen
atorial bee In certain people's bonnets,
but I am free to say Mr. Hermann has
never asked a beo to buzz for him. His
decisions have been characterized by com
mon sense. When the timber and stone
people have tried to gobble up lands to
the detriment of miners, Mr. Hermann has
stood pat on the law. 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.
