We are not seeking a quarrel, but we must Insure ourselves against a recurrence of the acta which led ts the present situation." The Foreign office has niRde inquiry as to whether the United States would be will- . Ing to guarantee the fulfillment of Venn- suela's pledges, either at the Immediate cessation of the present action, or pending the award of the arbitrators. This Inquiry resulted In a direct negative from the ' United States. j Wlth the guarantee of the United States the Foreign office says arbitration In the. Venezuelan matter would be an Immediate ! probability, but with only the word of a government, hitherto unreliable, arbitra tion Is difficult, even on the points where International relations admit of such a method of settlement. Say Castro Procrastinates. BERLIN, Dec. 16. The German govern- i ment has not yet replied to President Caa tro's offer of arbitration, being still in cor respondence with the British government on that subject. It is intimated that .Germany's reply Is not to be ready for some days. The opinion In the cabinet appears to be that President i. uasiros propoaais are merely a move in-a , wrA, uonvia, jjoc. is wnne tne no- game to see w tat Germany and ."CreaHvUh'-'goverument Is not disposed to lake Britain are now willing to do and as a test , also of American public feeling. -' '.

The Italian am bassador today calUd at the State de partment and advised Secretary Hay that Italy had Joined the allies In the opera tions tast Venezuela. He requested j that Mr. Bowen . assume charge of the Italian Interests in - Venezuela and the sec retary granted this request subject to tho approval of Venezuela.) - Italy enters the combination on tho same plan of abstention from territorial seizues as Germany and Great Britain-. The Venezuelan question occupied the at tention of the senate in executive session today for almost an hour. The tone of all of the speeches, whether by republicans or democrats, was that tho attitude of this nation should be of watch fulness. . There was a general agreement that' while the means adopted by Great Britain and Germany for tbe collection of their debts had been strenuous, they thus far had not infringed the Monroe doc trine and therefore had done nothing to which the United states could take excep tion. Senator Bacon (Oa.), a leading minority member of the eommlttee on foreign affairs, aald there was no party division, as every body would stand with tbe administration la doing what was best for the general good. There was no desire te control those on whom devolved the duly of protecting American Interests. The maintenance of the. Monroe doctrine, ha added, devolved on the whole people. Senator Stewart dwelt on the bombard meet of Puerto Cabello and said that la ddrnt should be accepted as a warning of what this country might expect whenever excuse might offer. Nt '.In '. Ura, generations," he said, "could ws build up a navy equal to that of Great Britain, but we can strengthen our ooaat' farttAcatlona,' and In -view of, Vene- soetai experience, tt behooves us to do so."

The house to day puscd the bill transferring from the Treasury to the Department of Agriculture the power to establish regulations for the suppression of contaglotia diieasea among live stock, end devoted the remainder of the day to the legislative appropriation bill, on which rapid progresa Is being made. Some minor business was transacted by unanimous consent at the opening, bills being panned to authorize a murrey at certain townships In Wyoming and to au thorize the construction of a lighthouse at Mukilteo Point, Wash. ITpnn the demand for the regular order, Mr. Wadsworth (N. T.) called up the bill to transfer from the Treaspry to the De partment of Agriculture the power to make regulations to suppress and extirpate dan gerous contagious disease among ' live stock. He explained that the change was made necessary by the discovery that when the Department of Agriculture was created, thla power, supposed to have been transferred and to have since existed with the secre tary of agriculture, was left with the Treasury department. The additional power conferred by the bill to prevent the Introduction, from an Infected foreign country, or from one state to another, of hay, straw and forage, was made necessary by suspicion that the toot and mouth disease was communicated - to live stock In New England through Infected hay from Canada, and might be transmitted thence to other portions of the United States bv the same means. The bill was panned without division. The house then went Into committee of the whole, and resumed the consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill and disposed of 122 pages.

The bill was referred ss requested and consideration resumed of the militia bill. An .amendment offered by Mr. Foraker was sgrecd to striking out as much of sec tion 24 of the bill as relates to drills, In spections and Instruction of men enrolled in the reserve force. At 2 o'clock the militia bill was dis placed by the omnibus statehood bill, but before debate was resumed the senate passed a bill relating to ceded lands on the Fort Halles Indian reservation, Idaho, and a resolution directing the secretary of the interior to transmit to the senate the report of Dr. Jackson upon the intro duction of domestic reindeer In Alaska.

Dec. !, (Special.) Jules Ssndos, who was found guilty of as saulting a couple of his neighbors by shoot ing a rifle In their direction, or at them, and fined $100 and costs and who Is being confined In jail until the same Is paid, was before the caurt today with motion which read as follows: "I want my Judg ment arrested at once .because bow could I assault my neighbors when a quarter of mile away. Do thla and I., will ever pray." When he was told that his motion was overruled ' he said: "Sheriff, I and Roosevelt are Just alike. He Is a western man; he Is a BUnter, be Is a good shot, he Is self-educated, but be Is president and I am prisoner." Jales Is a great hunter and expert marksman' and It Is said he has killed more wolves' and skunks than any man In Nebraska', Blnce the court would not "arrest" bis ' sentence. Jules puts In a good deal of iils lime In figuring out how long It will take him after ha gets out to make his fine and coats shooting wolves, skunks and coyotes. He also figures on writing a book entitled "the Injustice of America to a genius and scholar who ought to be In congress, but Is In jail." During the trial of Alice Hoover, who Is charged with having bought three Indian ponies from Alex Too Too and Sam Big Woir, knowing them to be stolen and the property of Fire Thunder. Good Lance and Black Whirlwind, his counsel raised a con stitutional question. The same was over ruled and In rase of conviction will be set tled by the supreme court. The question raised Is whether or not the receiving or the buying of stolen property brought Into this state knowing them to be stolen con stltutes the crime of receiving stolen prop erty under our statutes. The supreme court came very close to passing on this question recently In the case of VanBuren against the, State from Cherry county. In that case tt. wis held that It was not a crime to hying stolen property Into this state. In the case of Charles H. Rush, who ts charged with selling whisky to Indians, an other constitutional question Is raised. Rush Is being prosecuted under section 3287 of the statutes of 1901, which makes selling whisky to Indians a felony and It is contended by defendant's counsel, M. F. Harrington and Judge Patterson, that this section la unconstitutional because In et feet It amends sections 10, and 11 of the Slocuinb law nnd that the sections ko amended are not mentioned In the act of i 1891. Judge Westover, who Is presiding In this case, overruled the demurrer of de fondant, holding that the legislature made the selling of whisky to lndtsns a separate substantive crime,, and that under the con Btltutlon they had the right so to do. In case of conviction this will be taken to the supreme court. One of the heaviest falls of snow ever experienced In this section of the state Is now on the ground. Some old timers say It is heavier than that of 1888. It has tnt drifted and will not Injure stock In the least. It Is predicted that this Is to be a repetition of the winter of 1888, whlca means good crop, prospects for this portion of Nebraska. Lodare Elections at West Point. WEST POINT, Neb., Dec. 16.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Indrsw fioiewater Power Ordiaanoe Occu pies the Moef, Attention. VOTE DOWN ADVERSE COMMITTEE REPORT Coaaellanea Haakell aaa Klmniaa Have a Decidedly Warns Araja sneat Over a Rallasx af tha Chair. In Its various forms and phases the proposition to give Andrew Rosewater a franchise to distribute electrical power throughout the city dominated the pro ceedings of the city council lsst evening and made all other business appesr trivial. The strength of Mr. Rosewater's ordi nance was In a measure put to the test In the vote upon an adverse report submitted by Messrs. Haseall and Whltehorn of the judiciary committee, and the report was defeated by a vote of I to I. Messrs. Has eall and Whltehorn vonry voting for Its adoption. The subject of the franchise first csme up In a communication from the Real Estste exchange reporting Its action taken at tho meeting of yesterday, with the proposed amendments approved at that meeting. This communication was placed on file and Councilman Hasrall seized upon this op portunity to present a petition which he said carried 200 more names than Mr. Rosewater's petition and in which the council is urged to grant a franchise that will be open to any person who wishes to tske advantage of It. Exchange Aaks Too Mnch. Mr. Selby of the committee of the Real Estate exchange wss permitted to make a statement. In which he said that the amendments which the exchange proposed hsd been passed upon at a meeting of fifty or sixty members of the body. One point be thought had perhaps not been given tbe careful investigation tbat It deserved and that was ss to the 6 per cent annuity. He though that was too Urge a percentage and felt sure that the exchange would now favor making It lower. An a report of the judiciary committee on Mr. Rosewater's ordlnanoe Councilman Has eall, chairman of the committee, returned the three different drafts of the ordinance with a long communication, in which was embodied the substance of a great deal of the argument which he has heretofore from time to time used against the ordinance. This document was signed by only Haseall and Whltehorn, Mr. Mount having been out of the city and Messrs. Zlmman and Lobeck refusing to cdncur in this report Accompanying the report also were com munications from J. F. Hanson, secretary of the Fremont Power company, and H. E. Babcock.prestdent of the Nebraska Central Irrigation Company of Columbus. The re port closed with the recommendation that the ordinance be Indefinitely postponed. After some discussion the report was put to vote and lost, as stated. Presents Ilediiilied Ordinance. A new draft of Andrew Rosewater's or dlnsnce embodying tbe amendments agreed upon at the general committee meeting of Monday afternoon was intrcduced by Mr. Zlmman, who moved a suspension of the rules for the first and second reading of tbe ordinance, and embodied in tbU mo tion Instruction to the clerk to have tha ordinance published. Mr, Haseall Insisted that the motion be divided, and It was at this juncture that the discussion became most turbulent. There wss a misunderstanding as . to whether Mr, Zlmman's motion as adopted by the council .carried with It tbe Instruc tion as to the publication of the ordinance, J and the chair ruled mat it aid not, as nn had only put the first portion of the mo tion as it had been stated by Mr. Zlmman. Then Mr. Zimman contested the ruling of the chair in a very emphatic manner, and Mr. Haseall just as emphatically Instated that tbe chair was right, and that the firs part of the motion only bad been passed President Karr enforced bis ruling, and after the ordinance had been read a firs', time In full and a second time by title a motion by Mr. Zlmman to have It pub lished was lost by a vote of 4 to 4, those in the affirmative being Messrs. Burkley, Lobeck, Trostler and Zimman. On recommendation of the committee on finance and claims, the tax depar ment of the city was granted an appropriation of $400 to pay for a portion of It work which bas not yet been completed. Raise Fire and Police Salaries. Councilman Zlmman Introduced two or dinances raising the salaries tn the police and fire departments. Tbe ordinances make a $5 raise in the fire department on all members except the chief and his two assistants, and In the police department the same raise on the detectives and pa trolmen. - These ordinances were given their first and second reading and laid over under tbe rules. The council sustained four vetoes of the ; mayor. Two were for the location of arc lights, on the ground that tbe lighting fund waa exhausted. The other was the grant ing of a special permit to Andrew Klewlt to erect a frame building within tne uro limits, and the other a warrant In favor of C. D. Woodworth for $1.325 83. which web simply to allow a clerical error to be cor rected. Nets Peterson served notice ,of a claim for damages of $5,000 for personal Injuries alleged to have been received by him n falling Into a hole on Thirty-fourth street, near Jones street, on the night of Novem ber 29. A communication from the tax eommlt tee of the Real Estate exchange asking for a detailed statement of the salaries paid to city employes and the duties of those employea and other Information in regard to the city government was referred to tne comptroller for report to the council.
