Foreign Powers Delay Their Signatures to the Protocols to
Allow Seligman to Make a Loan".
Washington .March 31. A million
dollars and possibly the whole future
of Venezuela depends on a race which
is being run today between Laguayra
and Carracas by Pullda, tho Venezue
lan minister to Washington, and a
representative of the Seligman Bros.,
the New York bankers.
Six weeks ago Minister Bowon sub
mitted to The Hague the question as
to whether they by reason of their
blockade of Venezuelan ports should
be entitled to preferential treatment.
Notwithstanding the promises of
prompt action, the signatures have
been unaccountably delayed.
Early in March tho Seligmans made
a proposition to loan Venezuela $50,
000,000 to pay tho claims of the al
lied powers, bearing 10 per cent In
terest. Bowen absolutely refused
this proposition.

PILOT ROCK ROBBERY.
Thieves Entered by Front Door Se
cure About $150 In Cash Postof
flee Inspector Now Investigating
Matter.
In addition to what could be learn
ed yesterday about tho Pilot Rock
postofflcp robbery it Is reported that
tho robbers entered the building
through the front door.
It is probable that they first at
tempted to enter the safe through the
combination after knocking oft thu
knob. Falling in this they blow tho
safe, using two charges of dynamite
for the purpose.
They secured between $140 and
$150 In rash and stamps and valuable
papers to an unknown extent. Miss
Smith, the deputy postmaster, arriv
ed In town last night and reported
the affair ofllclally to Postmaster
Livermore, who at once notified tho
nostomce Inspector. Clark, of Walla
Walla, who has tho Investigation In
hand now. Miss Smith could not say
just the extent of the loss, because
sho and tho postmistress, Mrs. Lura
Richards, labored under tho misap
prehension that the safe and Its
more or less scattered contents
should not bo overhauled before tho
arrival of the Inspector.
While they satisfied themselves
that the money and stamps wore
taken, they did not know at tho tlmo
Miss Smith left Pilot Rock, Just
what had been taken besides, nor
the value of whatever else had been
taken. Of tho $140 or $150 cash
taken, about $40 belonged to one of
tho Pilot Rock fraternal organizations.
the protocol wero being withhold luv
cause tho powers wanted Venezuela
to accept the loan, Bowen sent puiuia
direct to Castro to explain tho many
objectionable features of the loan. Ho
sailed March 21. Tho same boat car
rlcd a Seligman representative, who
will get Castro to accept tho loan.
notwithstanding Bowen s protest.
The boat arrived at La Guayra to
day and Minister Bowen believes that
whichever gains first audience with
Castro will ho successful. Ho Is anx
ious that The Haguo render an opin
ion relative to tho collection of claims
by force to gain a preferential treat
ment.
Another serious anxiety Is that It
the loan is accepted and the claims
paid it will leave considerable money
in tho Venczuelnn treasury which is
always a menace in a South Ameri
can republic.
