RELEASED TOMORkOW Powers Hare Reached Agree ment Upon Settlement of Principles NOW CONSIDERING SMALL, PHASE OP ARRANGEMENTS BO WEN OFFERS THIRTY PER CENT OF CUSTOMS RECEIPTS OF TWO PORTS IN CONSIDERATION. CARACAS. Jan. 26. The Associated Press correspondent has Just received a communication from the British Naval officers at La Guayra informing him that the blockade will be released next Wednesday. Getting Into Details. ' Waehinston, Jan. 26. While no ad vance has been made since yesterday toward a settlement of the Venezuelan situation it is the opinion that no ground has been lost, and from the few details of exchanges between the allies that leak out here; it would appear that they are considering such small phases of the ultimate arrangements as to In dicate that they have already reached a tacit agreement upon the general principles of the settlement. , : Will Pay a Bonus. Washington, Jan. 2S The Associated Press has been informed that 3ir. Bow- en. acting for Venezuela, In return for the raiding of the blockade, pledges 30 per cent of the receipts of the ports of Porto Cabello and La Guayra, the same to be collected by the joint commis sion . i- - : ' ' Up to the close of the day the formal notice of the acceptance of the propo sition had not come to Bowen from the representatives of the allies here. How ever, such an official Information as reached Bowen confirmed him in the belief that the pending controversy would; be settled "soon and satisfac- nrv It la Uanuvt iLat Ttallsn Government all along has favored an honorable compromise and had let its allies' know the favor with which !t re gards the Bowen proposition while ex pressing a willingness to defer to their views in the matter. It developed today that the proposi tion of the custom duties collected at La. Guayra and lorto Cabello, to t-e paid to the allies, la 30 per cent. These two ports collect a large part of the total custom receipts of the country. The lifting of the blockade would not mean.. a complete withdrawal from the American waters of the allied fleet. Is Not Justified. Washington. Jan. 26. There Is no in formation in Washington to justify the positive statement contained in" the Caracas dispatch that the Venezuela blockade will be raised Wednesday. WAS FALSE ALARM THE SUPPOSED FUSE WAS ONLY SMOKE FROM A DISCON NECTED FLUE. I The fire department Was called out j atfoiit ;10 o'clock Sunday morning and i rnde a hasty run to the corner of Cap i it il and Center streets, -where it was re- i ported that a fire had broken out in. the j house owned by Mrs. Leo. Willis. The I house s occupied by Messrs. Sugannnh i and Wlse the Court street Junk deal- ers, who had moved in but a short time before. It seems that a chimney had ! been started in one of the upper rooms. 1 but never finished, this fact not being i known to the occupahts of the house. I who inserted a stovepipe in the flue and proceeded to light a fire, supposing the I chimney made connections with one of j the others in the attic. This was not j the case, however, and when. the fire was startei the attic and upper rooms f soon filled with smoke, which poured out of the windows In such volumes as j to Indicate a fire under good headway. Upon the arrival of the firemeni one of the boys quickly made his way to the attic, when the eadse of the alarm i was found, to be n the disconnected ! chimney and not even a spark of Are i could be found.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 Philip Dob- II n, who testfled before the House Com mittee on Naval Affairs on Saturday that he had approached Representatire Lessler, of New York, with an offer of money to influence Lessler'a vote on the Submarine Bill, made the astounding statement before the committee today that he had made statements on Satur day which were not true, and tht he wanted to retract his statement! that Quigg had tendered a bribe to him. The members of the committee look ed at one another in amazement as Doblin went on with his statement. Doblln was rigidly cross-examined by" every member of the committee, but he persisted in saying that he was teiung the truth and adhered to his denials. When Doblin left the stand the commit tee's program, which contemplated call ing Dr. W. B. Kerr to the stand, f as abandoned, and went Into secret ses-? sion. Some of the members, in view of the remarkable developments, favored dropping the investigation, but the oth ers urged that it be continued. It 1s understood that Lessler asked that he permitted to make a statement and said i he 5 had another witness he would call, whereupon the committee decided to meet again at 10:30 tomor row. .Representative lessier was also present in the committee room when Doblin gave his testimony. 5 ) LOOKS LIKE A DEADLOCK 0l CERTAIN ARIDfOR ALL Neither' Candidate Makes any Gains and Multno mah Delegation Caucused Again Last Night and Decided to Hold Out for Another Week Senator Fulton Will Make a Desperate Effort to Break Up Either the Geer or Multnomah County Delegations Has Planned a Great Coupe for Today, and is Either a Case of Win or Lose With Him This Week ; NO ELECTION YET WASHINGTON SENATORIAL SITU ATION REMAINS UNCHANGED , AFTER TENTH BALLOT. r OLYMPIA, Wash Jan. 26.-One bal lot cast on 1 the Senatorial question showed no change and there are roInr dilations ; tonight of any break In the vote tomorrow.
