BRITAIN'S STAND.
Thinks That Their Embassador Has
Not Been Insulted.
Washington, Feb. 6. The facts
concerning the British ambassadors
stand in tho Venezuelan matter Is
leaking out.
. He wired his government that if it
were left for him to decide ho would
not continue the negotiations with
Minister Bowen. Lansdowne, of the
British embassy, wired an answer to
the British ambassador that he was
here to obey orders and not to have
opinions. Herbert expressed to his
conferees the greatest Indignation
that an ambassador from the court of
St James could be so treated by
Bowen.
Bowen's statement was that? the
proposition as advanced by Great
Britain and Germany was but an
other scheme to trick Venezuela into
abetting an alliance against her for
six years and longer. Also that he
would not consent to any scheme con
tinuing the triple alliance one day
longer than he was forced to do. The
Italian and German ministers have
taken occasion several times since
the conference to say Bowen has
treated all negotiators with uniform
courtesy and surprising genetoslty.

Labor Unions In Country.
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 6. Tomorrow
the coremakers throughout the coun
try will take a referendum vote on

ward amalgamation that has been ap
parent In the organized labor world
for some time has bad the effect of
making closer relations desirable.
Should the vote be In the affirma
tive, as the Indications promise, local
unions of the coremakers will not
lose their Identity, the only differ
ence being that the molders' Interna'
tional will carry on all the work that
Is now done by the two organizations.

ers' union to absorb all of the allied
trades, the prospects are that 1L, will

ganizations in the country, arid In ad
dition, all branches being under one
head, It Is believed that It will be

ments with the employes.
