GUARANTEES ASKED
Powers Are Willing to Trnst
Matters to United States.
REFUSE TO DEAL WITH CASTRO
Replies to Hay’s Notes are Received
from Britain and Germany—Kai¬
ser Reluctant and De¬
mands Safeguards.
Friday Secretary Hay received pir
tial responses from the governments
of Great Britain. Germany end Italy
respecting the proposal to arbitrate
the Venezuelan difficulties.
Great Britain is favorable to arbi¬
tration with proper safeguards.
Germany accepts arbitration In
principle, but finds a multitude of
small adjustments to lie made before
entering into The agreement.
Italy, as the junior partner of tie
allies, declares that she is favorable
to arbtratlon, but will be bound by tlte
action of the senior partners.
Look Only to Uncle Sam.
The note to Reuters Telegraph
company, announcing that Great Brit¬
ain had sent, a reply, 'to the Lai ted
States, is as,follows:
’’The statements issuing from C.i
racas to the effect that Preside*! Cat
tro has empower**.! Minister Bowen to
act as the representative of Venezuela
are regarded in London as o) n to
question. Any such action on the part
of President Castro would he ,cons.*J
ered wholly' beside the mark. The
powers concerned will deal solely with
the United States in the matter of ar¬
bitration. The government of Von -
zuela will not he consulted iu any
form, not even as to the terms oa
which arbitral j^n might be nereptab'e
to the powers.”
To secure these American ambas¬
sadors at London, Berlin' and Rome
have been working energetically te
carry out the instructions of See re tar.'
Hay to ascertain how the proposal
would be received.
As far ns England is concerned the
safeguards referred to are believed to
relate to the questions of gunrante -
yvhich is full of diflhubi. - In fr.it
connection, as Indicated la previous
dispatches some consideration.is again
* given the fea»4hHit.v of assumption
to
of responsibility of any awayd as
senked against Venezuela by ro-punsi
bfe private agencies, hut the United.
Stales government is determined
not to allow itself to be drawn into tne
position of a guarantor in this case
for the precedent, once established,
might require the United States to lie
come financial backer of all South and
Central America. However, If private
concerns can be induced to enter the
field, the United State.-, will do what
it can to reduce, their risks. Secre¬
tary Hay, Sir Michael Herbert, the
British ambassador, and Senator l)o
pew were in conference Friday, and it
Is suspected that uis phase of the
case was «inched upon, although no
confirmation (’an he had at this time
Knotty German Problem.
The German position • presents the
greatest difficulties, for not only
does it involve a demand for spoil
gies, which are extremely repugnant
to Venezuela, but also presents so
many points requiring adjustment that
it is evident thru many days, or
perhaps weeks, must elapse before the
adjustment can be effected and the
case prepared for arbitration. And
the danger of delay in the face of a
blockade, which seriously cripples
neutral commerce, and Invites hostile
coiiislons with the Venezuelans, can
not be overestimated.
The efforts of the United States.
therefore, must be directed toward
hastening Germany’s action on the ar
bitration proposal.
The Italian position is, of course, of
less concern than that of tho other al¬
lies. Tho Italian ambassador at Wash
ington in his intercourse with the state
department, has bo( n extremely mod
erate and considerate, giving ; Secre
tary Hay the impression that ho is
well disposed to second any effort of
the United States to terminate the
present dangerous situation.

“PRO BONO PUBLICO.
DEPORT MULATTOES
Senators Talk of That Philippine
Coionizati n Scheme.
VARIOUS FACETIOUS OPINIONS
Plan is Favored by Few, While Many
Declare it Altogether Impractica¬
ble and a Piece of Utter
Foolishness.
The story in The Atlanta Constitu¬
tion, from its Washington correspond¬
ent of the trip which Thomas Fortune
is making to Hawaii and the Philip¬
pines as a special commissioner to in
vostigaie conditions, presumably in the
interest of negro colonization, has
stirred up considerable discussion
among the southerners in congress.
Sdnator Morgan has boon interview¬
ed as favoring negro colonization. His
Utterances have called from Senator
Ben Tillman some highly •character¬
istic comment. Tillman says negro
colonization is an iridescent dream,
and in discussing Senator Morgan’s re¬
marks says:
“It seems we can never get beyond
the penetrating stink of this “lily
white,’ ‘black and tan’ business which
is continually popping up in one form
or another, i am in favor of giving
(he negro ids rights and then elimi¬
nating him from politics, with the ed¬
ucational' question and colonisation
schemes following close in the rear.
I tell you, none of those plans will ever
succeed. Say that the negroes are
taken to the Philippines; there will be
the cost of transportation to the Pa¬
cific coast, of the ocean voyage, of the
erection of some temporary habitation
till they are able to provide for Ihein
ceives. If this is all the government
intends to do for them, the item of ex¬
pense would be something enormous.
It Avould he necessary to lax the peo¬
ple to the point of oppression.”
Senator Tillman figures that prom¬
ises of paradise might induce two mil¬
lion negroes to go, hut there would
still remain seven million to keep alive
the race problem. He thinks coloni¬
zation taik is like (he “forty acres
and a mule” scheme of the reconstruc¬
tion days.
Senator Pettus, Morgan’s colleague,
does not like the colonization idea, and
he says:
“It is visionary; it would take all
the ships in the world to transport our
negro fellow-citizens, even it it were
not against the law. We have no
right to move citzens out of the coun¬
try against ther consent, Besides, tne
government hasn’t the money, and
never will have.’’
Senator Morgan's plan, it might bo
said, does not contemplate moving tho
negroes without their consent, nor
does it propose any cost to the govern¬
ment.
Senator Money, of Mississippi, says:
“If it were not unlawful, we would
be moving our negroes to a country
three times as densely populated as
our own, and to a country where the
natives don’t want negroes, if we are
going to disregard the wishes of both
the negroe3 and the natives of Iho
land to which we would send them,
why not. look around for a better field
of operation? What is the matter
with Africa?
“At the gait we’ve been going, wo
would gather in some of that territory,
enough to accommodate our negro
population in the Congo country, for
instance. That is, I say, going the- gait
we have been using, regardless of
justice, rigid, integrity, sincerity and
the like. The colonization scheme is
a dream away up in the clouds.”
Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi,
said:
“If there could be found a practical
way to send any of our negro poptila
tion into a colonization enterprise, 1
favor what. 1 have always thought
would go far toward making our bur¬
den easier. That is keep our genuine
black negroes here and deport tne mu
lattoes. We never had any trouble
with negroes until the inception of the
mulatto breed. Our black negroes are
all right.”

BOYCOTT COWARDLY
So Declares Chairman Gray of
(ho Strike C mmission.
NON-UNION WORKERS TESTIFY
They Tell of the Reign of Terror in
Coal Regions While Strike Was
on, and of Their Own
Maltreatment.
The coal strike commission at. Scran¬
ton listened Thursday to further testi¬
mony tending to show that a reign of
terror existed in the anthracite coal
fields during the five and a haif months
of the mine workers’ strike.
About a score of witnesses were
called during the session by attorneys
of non-union men. They told of se¬
rious boycotts, brutal attacks by
crowds of men, women and boys and
an attempt to burn tho house of a non¬
union ' instances tho
man. In most
witnesses testified that the alleged of¬
fenders were members of the miners’
union. Tho lawyers for the miners ob¬
jected frequently to the admission of
testimony on hearsay and sometimes
objected because of irrelevancy of cer- '
tain other statements. Chulrmr
Gray said the commission was no V
bound by any strict rules of eivdence,
but asked counsel to confine themselves
in examination as far as possible
to direct, evidence. He said it. was loo
difficult, in trying to prove that boy¬
cotts existed, to get information on the
subject. Tile commission, lio said,
wanted to know whether a reign of
terror existed in the anthracite re¬
gion and it could not get information
if the strict rules of evidence were ap
pi fed.
Calls Them Cowards.
“The coward who will go to the
storekeepers,” he said “and tell them
not to sell the necessaries of life to a
poor woman usually seeks the obscur¬
ity that the law of evidence throws
around him. If a girl is discharged
from her position in a store in cause
she roilo in a street car In 1* leraont.
weather while a strike was on, the
coward who discharged her., coward
enough to refuse to testify.” He rec¬
ognized, he said, why some merchants
will not come forward and tell wno
forced him to refuse to sell tho nec¬
essaries of life to certain boycotted
persons, hut if ho (Chairman Gray)
were a storekeeper, he t hong-... he
would risk his all in order to break
up the cowardly business.
August Scheush, of Hazleton, who
worked for the Lehigh Valley Compa¬
ny through the sustention, testified
that he was attacked by a mob while
he ami his son were going to work and
that he was severely injured by ,eing
hit by rocks; that he was stabbed
three times and sustained five ribs
broken. He was acting as coal and
iron policeman at the time, but did
not use his revolver, because he was
afraid of shooting his son, who was be¬
ing beaten by the crowd at the same
time.
lives necessaries of life.
John Dorran, manager of the
Wilkesbarre lace mills, testified mat.
because he would not discharge two
girls who had relatives working in the
mines the 1,100 employees went on
strike and stayed out: eight weeks un¬
til the matter was fixed up. Another
witness said he was a member of the
union, and while under a physician’s
care during the street car strike hero
last year he rode on a car. His dis¬
charge was asked for by me union,
hut the mine superintendent refused.
Tlie union men made his occupation so
unpleasant for him in tho mines that
he had to quit.
These witnesses and others testified
that iheir wives were insulted on the
streets, that the children were insult¬
ed on the streets, that the children
woro beaten by other children, and
could not be sent to schools, .that local
unions requested storekeepers to re¬
frain from selling goods to any one
related to a man working in the mines;
that tlielr houses were stoned; that
they were stoned, shot at and hanged
in effigy, and that life was generally
made miserable for them and their
families.
BEGGAB OWNED FORTUNE.
Lived and Died Miserably While Pos¬
sessed of Hundred Thousand.
Eli Hyman, a Jew, who begged for
admission to tne general hospital at
Toronto a few days ago, is dead. An
examination of his clothing resulted in
finding scrip worth $31,000. Otner pa¬
pers | bowed Hyman to be worth prob¬
ably $100,000.
For twenty years he had slept in
sheds and stables. He sold papers and
begged money and food. His heirs are
