Italy Would Leave the Entire Matter In the Hands of Minister Bowen Secretary Hay Will Attempt to Ob tain Castro's Acquiescence. Washington, Dec. 19. It Is an nounced at the state department this morning that answers have been re ceived from the triple alliance con cerning the proposal of arbitration made by President Castro through Minister Bowen. The answers while admitting the correctness of tho prin ciple of arbitration, are not regarded as satisfactory on account of the con ditions imposed. The answer of Great Britain was most favorable. Germany Interposes so many conditions as to make her answer anything but n consent to ar bitration. Italy, in as much as she is the youngest member of the alli ance. Is willing to abide by the dis positions of the other two nations. Even Great Britain's answer contains a number of stipulations which would require time for adjustment before an arbitration could be entered Into. The character of the objections to immediate arbitration interposed by Germany and Great Britain Is not made public, further than that one condition is that there must be some guarantee that Venezuela will fulfill the judgment of tho arbitrators. It is seml-officlally learned that one of the conditions laid down by Germany Is Venezuela s apology for the arrests of the German, consular officials and the sacking of the consulate at Cara cas. Secretary Hay Immediately took the answer of the three powers to a cabinet meeting, where It was dls cussed. It was decided to make ef forts to obtain Castro's acqulscence in as many of tho conditions ns possi blc, while at tho same time it is diplo matically suggested to Germany nnd Great Britain that they recede from the more onerous stipulations.

Ex, Santa Maria Still Active Business Paralyzed Price of Necessities so High That Few Can Buy Them. Guatemala City, Guatemala, Dec. 19 It Is probably due to some govern ment instructions that tho papers hero have not said anything with ref crence to tho eruption of the Santa Maria volcano, which can bo consid ered, because of Its magnltudo, as a national calamity. Tho losses suffer ed by German capital are not less than fO, 500.000. consisting of houses nnd machinery destroyed, and the de struction of tho present coffee crop. If the total destruction of many othor properties belonging to other foreign ers, as well ns to natives, is added to this amount, the actual losses ascend to a fantistlc sum. The volcano Is still In activity and a new eruption Is feared at any time. Suffering Is Indescribable, for, be sides tho loss of coffee, which Is es timated at about 300,000 quintals, tho corn and wheat fields aro ruined. Owing to the unusually high rato of exchange, business is entirely par alyzed, for nil Imported articles have reached such prices that very few persons can afford to buy thoin, and most of tho merchants sell Just enough to cover their expenses. The worst part of tho present bad condition Is that no one knows how or when it will chnngo, and It Is al most unendurable lust now. Articles of first necessity havo reached Inac cesBablc prices, and the poor class of people Is suffering therefrom. BILL TO STOP KISSING. Doc Themselves to Blame. After Indulging In ruinous competl tion for some time, the master print ers of several Swiss towns have form ed a trust for the purpose of regulat ing prices. Each member of the com bine lias obligated himself to charge the rate agreed upon by the trust. The Swiss gentlemen have solved the prob lent. Kmploylog printers who are continually complaining of the low prices they receive for their work have only themselves to blame. Good work will command good prices. Every employer owes It to himself to see that the products of his shop are the best. If he does this, be will not need to worry about the profit side of tho ledger. Typographical Jour nal. Richmond Girls Must Ask "Got tor's Certificate?" Richmond, Va., Dec. 19 In the houso of dolegates today. Dr. W. II, Ware, a practicing physician, Intro duced a bill to make promiscuous kissing a misdemeanor It Is the first measure he has presented oxcopt by request. Prartlcally all Dr. Ware will say of his bill Is that while It ought to pass, he has no Idea that It will be adopted. Tho act reads as follows! "Whereas, kissing has been decld ed by the medical profession to be a medium by which contagious and In fections diseases are transmitted from one person to another, am whereas tho prohibiting of such an offense will ho a great preventative to the spreading of such diseases as pulmonary tuberculosis, diphtheria and many other dangerous diseases; therefore, he it enacted by the gener al assembly of Virginia: "1. That It shall be unlawful for any person to kiss another unless ho can prove by his family physician that he has not any contagious or In fectlous disease. 2. If tho physician testifies that tho defendant has weak lungs ho shall bo found guilty of a misdemean or, and the same penalty shall be im posed as if ho had some contagious or Infective disease. "3. Any person, violating the pro visions of tho first and second sec tions of this act shall bo deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not less than $1 nor more than f 5 for each offense."

Ills plan Involves the Incorporation of a steamship transportation company and tho distribution of homosteads of about 20 acres each. Speaking of tho project. Senator Morgan said: "The principal reason for my atti tude In the senate toward rotalnlng the Philippine Isslands Was my belief that thoso Islands would afford a homo for tho negrops. When I first CAmo to congress I Introduced a resolution to recognize the Congo Fret' Statu as an Independent tuition merely to af ford tho negroes of this country a place to which they might emigrate when their numbers Increased to an extent that would mako emigration necessary The resolution passed the senate and house and the colonization of negroes In Congo was well under way when the United Htntes acqulrod thn Philippines. "Tho acquisition of that territory opens up a now and vastly superior country for them. Tim land Is richer, the climate better suited to thniu and thero they would still ho uudor oii' flag. I took tho matter up with Socro tary Root and wroto to Oovcrnor Taft for Information and Ideas on a plan for colonizing negroes thorn. Both were favorably Impressed and all the movement noedH Ih a starter." Senator Tillman of South Carolina, does not tako any stock'In Morgan's plan. Scnutor Tillman said: "Suppose that negroes aro sent to tho Philippines; there will ho tho cost of trnnsportntlon to tho Pacific ocean, or somo temporary habitation until they aro able to provide for thorn selves and of feeding them until they raise a harvest and market their first crop.
