That Is what Mr. llankhond means. To tho caso-hardod politician, It makes no difference how many thous- coeds In bringing about a vote." That Is a statomont of fact which It will be woll to rcmembor during tho coming days and weeks of waiting. Senatorial-debate Is unlimited as to BLOCKADE HUB HR AT CARACAS WHEN ANNOUNCED IT WAS EFFECTIVE. The Government Is Much Puzzled Over the Acceptance of the Pro posal to Arbitrate Same Day the Screws Were Put On. Spdolal Correspondence. Washington, Doc.v 20. Tho adjounv monl of congres over tho holidays will mako no difference In the status of tho great fight for statehood for the terrltorlos. Sonator Uato of Tonnoeseo, who made Iho report or the minority of tho ' sonato speclaj pommltteo rn favor of the omnibus bill, sayB: "Thero has been a lot of Juggling with this mattor, and It It wero generally understood whoro this Juggling came from, tbore wduld bo somo political gravos dug for cortaln statosmon who poso as honest mon. Thero havo boon pub lic uttorancos and private uttorancos from statesmen which do not so fully agrco as to warrant belief In tho In tegrity. It Is too soon to mention names, but thoy will bo publicly men tioned In due season, unless actions aro squarod with words." Tho fight has beon very bitter. Sena tors havo boen estranged who havo been friends for many years, and they havo beon saying things to each othor, and about each other, which would sound vory strango if thoy wore utter ed on tho floor of tho senate Tho astuto leadors on both political sides of tho senate chamber havo been try ing to avoid open clashing, nnd for this reason adjournment has been wcl coined. Ono of tho things referred to by Senator Uato, Is the fact that certain senators aro suspected of bolng In fluencod In favor of tho jvhlskoy trusts; and this would sound ' cry- ugly IWiitto'rcd publicly. It Is. air ac cusation which ought not to bo mado without foundation; and yet tho bus nlclon Is breathed among senators very frooly. Another thing suggested qulto often Is tho view uttered Cy Congressman Ilankbcad, of Alabama, ono of the votorans of tho liouso of roprosonta tlves, as follows: "Thero has beon a groat deal of .howling against tho trusts, but nothing has been dono against thorn. So long ns tbo state hood bill nnd substitutes aro kept ands of peoplo In tho tbreo torrltorlos time; but majorities nlwayt rule. Op- may have their heart nehos, provided position senntors sometimes talk for tho political point to bo gained, Is gained. Thorerore, Mr. Ilankhend may be right in his oatlmato of tho situa tion; that without Intondlng to do anything for oltbor ono of tho terri tories, cortaln statesmen are keeping tho bills to tho front, for the purposo of killing off antl-tniBt logUlatlon: whllo escaping party responsibility. Gov. Murphy, of Arizona, sayB: "I bollovo that Senator Quay will ulti- wooks at a lime, hoping to weary tho majority; but a determined majority always wins. The sennto Is indeed an nriitrocratlc body for this republic; yet It always ultimately bows to puhllo opinion, whon that opinion Js woll de fined. Senator Klltlns, of West Vlrglnln, who Is a physical giant, big enough (o tnke Jim Corbott and Jim Joffrlee, Caracas, Dec. II. A notlllcntlon that a blockade of th Venesuelnn ports by tho allied powers would bo made effectlvo today was transmitted to tbe Veneiuelan government this morning by tho British consul nt I.a fiuavra. The announcement was not expected, and caused a commercial panic. The rate of exchange jumped 5 points. The people here nro still Ignorant of tbo answer of tbo nlllod govornmoutH and lmook tholr bonds togothor, says: mately gain his point although I fear "While I am for tho omnibus bill, I to tbe proposal to arbltrnto tho Vono that somo of tho senators havo boon am particularly In favor of Now Mexl- suolan difficulties, 'the government juggling with our hopos only for tho co. because I used to reprosont that has knowlodgo of tho nnswer through purposo of playing politics on othor territory In tho bouso of roprosonta- a communication from tho united topics, it may bo necossary for our I liven. I am undor ovorlastlng obllga- States legation, but cannot understand tlons to somo old frlonds out thero, and thoy nro on my back day and night In this mattor. Thoy would not lot mo forgot tholr bill, If I wero In clined to forgot thoni. Hut, I am dead In oarnost, and wo will succeed somo time this winter. The omnibus bill will pass." With cnorgotlc, tireless, and rolla bio backors of that sturdy character, frlonds In tho sonato to nlso play tho part of banditti In order, to . moot banditti tactics. If It becomes abso lutely apparont that thero Is a 'hold up' of our bills; thon our frlonds can play 'hold up' on tbo appropriation bills and other measuros that our op ponents deslro to liavo enacted." Mr. larrazoal of Now Mexico, Bays: I havo talked with Senator Elklns, hood, without tho shadow of a doubt. and a fow of tho gontlomon to whom wo havo reason to anticipate state- ho has introduced me, and I feol qulto confident that wo shall succeed early In Jnnuary. It Is truo that wo aro opposed by astuto statesmen who usually succeed in their plans nnd purposes, but our friends aro also re sourceful men who know all of tho tricks of the political and parlimcntary games, and thoy aro In earnest In our why, If Groat llrltaln nnd Gonnnny havo accepted tbo arbitration pro posal, tho blockade should bo mado offoctlvo tho snmo day.
