CONTINUATION OF GREAT SALE OF PETTICOATS. ARE SECRET ALLIES Germany and Italy Closely Bound Together IN VENEZUELAN AFFAIRS Italy to Hp Given Same Treatment ns Gcrmnny and Britain All Pro tocol to Be Identical Facta ot BoTren.Herbert Quarrel. The negotiations la regard to Ven ezuela have brought to Ucht a secret alliance between Germany and Italy, by -which the latter Is assured the same terms as the former. The Ambassadors and Mr. Bowen are arranging tha terms of the protocol submitting the question of priority to The Hague. They will be Identical. The correct story of the warm dis cussion between Minister Bowen and Ambassador Herbert came out .yesterday. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. Disclosures of a secret alliance between Germany and Italy constituted the most Important de velopment In the Venezuelan situation to night. This fact has been made known to the British Ambassador and It -will put all of the negotiators more closely on their guard In the drafting of the protocols which they hope to submit to Minister Bowen during the next few days. The German-Italian alliance was old news to Mr. Bowen, the fact having leaked out In Caracas before he left there. Generally speaking, the alliance Is Intend ed to secure to Italy the same treatment in the allies" settlement with Venezuela as that received by Germany and Great Britain. Mr. Bowen has made It plain both to the British Ambassador and to the German Minister that he canot affix his signature to any protocols they may pre sent to him which are not substantially of the same character as that to be sub mitted by the Italian Ambassador. All three of the first set of protocols to be signed which will contain the conditions precedent to the raising of the blockade and the provisions for referring the ques tion of preferential treatment to The Hague for decision, have been received at the Italian, British and German Em bassies. Their contentsTare.not known to Mr. Bowen, nor have the allies' repre sentatives been acquainted as yet -with the details of each, other's convention. Several Important conference! have oc curred thrcusnout. the day at the Brittsn Embassy In -an effort to reach an agree ment upon the protocols. Regarding reference to The Hague, Mr. Bowen has Informed the allies that he -will not consent that one man be selected from the personnel of The Hague tribunal to sit as an arbitrator on the question of preferential treatment. He wishes that this court shall consist of three and pref erably of five members. Several more or less sensational stones have been In circulation during the last few days, which have caused much an noyance to the British Ambassador and the other negotiators regarding the note Mr. Bowen addressed to the former on last Monday, proposing that the question ot preferential treatment go to The Hague. That these reports may be corrected, the negotiators are desirous that the facts be stated. On Tuesday, after the sending of his note to the British Ambassador, the latter called on Mr. Bowen and asked that he withdraw the entire note on the ground that It was not diplomatic in character. Mr. Bowen was compelled to refuse to grant his request. ' The Ambassador then asked that the sentence beginning: On this side of the water we want peace and not alliances," be withdrawn. Again Mr. Bowen regretted that he could not grant the Ambassador's request. Finally the Ambassador represented that the latter part of the sentence regarding the con- tlnuance of the alliance of Great Britain and Germany' and Italy would cause him embarrassment when submitted to the Italian Ambassador and the German Min ister, Mr. Bowen replied that he would be only too glad to do anything that would further the negotiations and at once struck out the objectionable clause, which read as follows: "And It will occasion great surprise and regret when It becomes known that Great Britain has even proposed continuing her present alliance with Germany and Italy one moment longer than she must." With this one change, the note was finally transmitted by the British Ambas sador to the German and Italian Ambas sadors. DEFENDS GEHMAX ALLIANCE. British Minister Attributes OppOst tlon to Quarrel Dnrlnsr Boer War. LONDON. Feb. 7. Lord Hamilton, the Indlm Secretary, spoke at Bradford to night. The Secretary was present at the Cabinet meeting this morning. In his speech he said he sincerely hoped that In the course of a very few hours the Venezuelan controversy will be concluded. Defending Great Britain's alliance with Germany, he said the .uermin govern ment throughout had behaved with per fect propriety and tact. "The objections to this alliance with Germany," said the Indian Secretary, "are In part bised upon the recollections of the Insults launched agalnet the British army by a certain section of the German press during the South African War. but the effect of Great Britain s action in Venezuela will be to Inform the world thij she Is apt to resent Insults." i OPINIONS OF LONDON' PAPERS. American Connlltutlon Will Hamper Diplomacy Question of Priority. NEW YORK. Feb. 7. Referring to the arbitration of the Venezuelan difficulty. the Westminster Gazette says, according to the Trlbiine's London correspondent. It Is a pity a' serious quarrel between the two great friendly JSngllsn-speawng pow ers cannot be amicably settled, and then remarks: "If, as seems likely, the United States each year extends the scope of her dl plomacy. her Ministers will And them selves Increasingly hampered by the pow er which the Constitution gives the Senate." The Daily Telegraph says: "If the question of preferential claims Is referred to The Hague tribunal and a decision Is given In favor of equality of treatment. England will accept the Judg ment with subdued delight, but the prin ciple must be definitely and authorita tively includedamong the recognized rules or international law wherein at present it has no place known to jurists." GLAD OF THE AGREEMENT. London Sympathise With Herbert's Ruined Feelings Fear of Delay. LONDON. Feb. 7. The announcement from Washington that the Venezuelan protocol 'Is In the course of preparation. confirming the hopeful views of the sit uation expressed here, has created great satisfaction. During the latter part of the week official circles here evinced quiet confidence that in spite of alarm ing reports a settlement was. In sight. mere have been private expressions of Intense Irritation at Minister Bowen's al leged breach of etiquette, but these have never been allowed to Interfere with the determination voiced by both the British and the German diplomats to secure a termination of the difficulty through any feasible cnannel.

Carol Norton, the Christian Science lecturer, who will speak in Portland to day, has addressed between 40,000 and 50,000 people In 15 states since leaving New Tork. September 15, 19J2. Mr. Norton is a lecturer at large for the United States and Canada for a lectureship Instituted by the mother church of the denomination la Boston. In the cold season Instead of In the Sum mer Is a question which every member of the "mountain goats" will ask himself If Colonel Hawkins and hU companions declare that the only time to climb the mountain Is during the Winter. A few friends of Colonel Hawkins have suggested to the genial father of the City Museum that he would cut a peculiar fig ure on the long skis, but the Colonel scouts the idea, and says that skees are nothing new to him, and that he will lead the party. He points out that hla weight will make him the fastest coaster of the party, and any one who has un dertaken to keep abreast ot the Colonel on a bicycle can testify that his endur ance should be equal to such a trip. RELIEF FOR FINLAND. Fund Sent From America. Go to Fin nish Relief Committee. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 7. The cor- rpsnondent of the Associated Press re turned yesterday from Helstngfora. He found the measures for the relief of ffie distress In Finland apparently well or ganized. The distribution of funds Is care fully supervised. The Finnish national relief committee has received up 10 ma present il6,000 from American relief or ganizations. General surprise and gratl tiirti. Is emressed at the large contribu tions which the committee has received. Other foreign countries have contrtbutea J3000 and In Russia J23.O0O has been col lected Including J14.000 from the Russian Red Cross Society, of which the Dowager Czarina is the protectress: Jiouo from ine Czar and $1000 from the Czarewltch. The Finns were agreeably astonlsnea at the' fact that the imperial gifts and the Prussian contributions, through the offi cial St. Petersburg committee agreed to by the Interior Minister. Von Plehwe. with Admiral Craemer as chairman, wera sent to Finnish committees instead of to Governor-General Brobrlckoff. The Gov ernor, however. Is receiving the funds collected by the Novoe Vremya. All 'this Is regarded as significant since General "Brobrlckoff In his official organ declared that Justice demanded that In the distribution of governmental funds, decided preference must be given to com munities whose inhabitants obeyed the military service decree. The Flnlanders re gard this as tantamount to an aamission that the money passing through General Brobrickoffs hands is used against the Finns' committee. Owing to the demoralization caused by the money distribution at the time ot the last famine the committee now re stricts heip, except In extreme cases, to the distribution of foodstuffs, seed and materials for- cottage industries, as loans or In return for work. In some cases, on the advice of the agricultural experts who have been throughout the country, small loans ot money for farm Improve ments afe granted on the condition that If the Improvements were actually made the committee will cancel 50 per cent of the debt If repaid by. 1906. Needy school children are housed, clothed, boarded and Instructed free. The committee's accounts are audited by the Bank of Finland and are regularly pub lished In the newspapers, separate from the provincial funds and the Senate ap propriation, that share being used for building roads and canals for drainage purposes. Taking? Help From America. NEW TORK. Feb. 7. Among the pass engers sailing today on the steamship Blucher. of the Hamburg-American line. Is Dr.- Louis Klopsch. who will visit the famine-stricken provinces of Finland, Lapland and Sweden, in the Interest of the Christian Herald relief fund. A third remittance of $10,000 has been cabled to the central relief committee at ,Helslng fors. and J5000 to the Swedish famine commission, Stockholm, for the relief of suffering Swedes, making a total of $30. 000 thus far cabled from the famine fund. Downing street and apparently formed the subject of exchanges of messages between Berlin, London and Rome, whence the representatives of these powers at Wash ington were Instructed to present a united front and prevent the recurrence of the publication of news of the nature of which he had complained. The refusal of President Roosevelt to arbitrate-the question as to whether the powers shall receive preferential treat ment In the settlement of their, claims against Venezuela Is regretted, but as cabled yesterday it was anticipated here. The strong disinclination of the British Foreign Office to have recourse to The Hague court of arbitration was founded chiefly on the fear that between now and j the rendering of the court's decision new complications may arise and the decision to refer the matter to The Hague was only arrived at as a last resort when the negotiations threatened to drag on Indefi nitely. The officials here are confident that The Hague court will give the allies at least some measure of different treatment In the settlement of claims from that ac corded to the other nations, who did not take aggressive steps to secure their al leged rights. Beyond some comparatively slight de liberations over the wording of the pro tocols no further trouble Is expected here, where the raising of the blockade will be regarded with almost as much relief as it will be In Venezuela. BIG TOBACCO DEAL. Scattered Fishermen Return. CHICAGO, Feb. 7l Two nights ot cold weather has put the Ice on Saginaw Bay In good condition, and many of the shanty fishermen who were driven In alt direc tions over" the bay by the recent terrible storm, are returning to their shacks, says a dispatch to the Record-Herald, from Bay City Mich. The leader of a searching party says that If any of the men died In the storm the fact will not be known until the Ice goes out. Meteor Hursts Over New York. NEW YORK, Feb. 7. Many persons In different parts of the city whose view was unobstructed by high, buildings, were star tled last night by a meteor which burst into a flame immediately over their heads and sped swiftly toward the south. From a point directly over the center of the city it sped south with marvelous speed. Its first white light dimming away to a fine point of flame. Couldn't Ajrree on Dnmacea. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.. Feb. 7. The Jury In the action for $230,000 brought against the New York Central Railroad by the four daughters of Alfred M. Perrin. who was killed in the Park-avenue tunnel disaster, failed to agree after 77 hours of deliberation, and was discharged. Eleven Jurors were said to favor a verdict for $75,000, but the other Juror stood out for one of only $25,000. - Senator Cannon Is Improving:. SALT LAKE. City. Feb. 7. The condl tlon of Former United States Senator Frank J. Cannon, who -was operated on Tuesday for appendicitis, is reported to be greatly Improved today, and strong hopes ot bis recovery are now entertained. and the view of the , snow-clad peak ris ing lii all its chilly majesty on the clear Winter days has inspired them with a de sire to clamber over the mountain when It wears its Winter coat. The use of the long, narrbw skis Is the novel feature of. the adventure. With them these ardent mountalnecre expect even say that they can easily work their way up any but the steepest Inclines. On the level the mountaineer may glide along with an occasional push from his balancing pole. It 13 on the down grade that the skis are the most useful, for all that is required Is a firm grasp of the pole, a clear head and the ability to bal ance on the narrow skis while sliding down hill at a break-neck speed. The trio does not expect to return for at least ten days. The party left Port land on the Sandy River stage at o'clock yesterday morning, and will start from the end of the stage line this morn ing. Yocum's- ranch, at the snow line, will be reached In about four days, and from .there they will travel as far on their skis as possible up the Me of the mountain. -If the weather conditions are extremely unfavorable the party may wait at the Yocum ranch until it Is safe to make the ascent. They will be pre pared to camp In the snow over night. and have taken sufficient food to last them for several days should they be snow bound. Every member of the party is an ex perienced mountaineer. As they are well acquainted with the surface of Mount Hood, they anticipate little trouble in ascending the mountain for a considerable distance. No attempt will be made to reach the summit, for sudden storms might make them prisoners for days, and there is the constant danger of losing the track during a blinding squall. Each man carries a pair of web snowshoes In case the wooden skis should break. The web shoes are not so useful In any way as "the long skis, for even In the soft est snow the broad webs will sink while the ten-foot skis will hardly make any Impression on the surface. Colonel Hawkins Is the man who de signed the skis with which the party Is equipped. They are ten feet long and about six Inches In width, tapering from the front to the back. This shape pre vents them from acting as a wedge, which would retard progress materially. A bal ancing pole about nine feet long Is a very necessary part of the equipment. With this the traveler helps himself along in climbing a steep place, and on the down grade It Is used as a balancing pole and also as a rudder. Colonel Hawkins has added an Improvement to the pole as used In Canada and Norway. On all three of the poles of the Mount Hood party Is a wooden disc five Inches wide, fastened to one end of the pole. This, he says, will be a great help In traveling over soft snow, and will make the pole more ef fective as a drag in coasting on a down grade. The three Portland men are probably the first to start on -a skee expedition in Ore gon and their success wilt be eagerly awaited by the many enthusiastic moun tain climbers who form the Mazama or ganization. Whether the beauties of a Winter trip among the snow fields and glaciers of Mount Hood will retult In the Mazamos making their annual excursion Larse Louisville Ilcbnndllnar Plant la Absorbed by Trust. LOUISVILLE, Feb. 7. The Courier Journal this morning says: The enormous plant of W. S.
