BRITISH RULERS
HIGHLY ELATED
KING AND QUEEN ARRIVE IN
LONDON ENTHUSED
REMARKABLE WELCOME TEN.
DERED ROYAL PARTY
Antagonism Against Germany Appears
to Have Ceased—Aims and
Policies Discussed by
Subjects
{By Associated Press.]
LONDON, Feb. 13.—The reception in
London accorded King Edward and
Queen Alexandra never lacks enthu
siasm, but the welcome they received
this evening on their return from Ber
lin was more remarkable than ever.
At the station to meet them were the |
prince and princess of Wales, Premier
Asquith and Foreign Secretary Grey,
while on the road to Buckingham pal
iice great crowds cheered vociferously.
The king, who was not looking so
"well as usual and was closely muffled
up about the throat, had a few min
utes' animated conversation with Sir
-Edward Grey, .both of them showing
plainly their great satisfaction at the
happy result of the sovereign's short
stay at Berlin.
The visit certainly has had a won
derful effect upon the mind of the
British public, and the antagonism
against Germany seems to have disap
peared,
Berlin's cordial reception of the king
has paved the way for the re-estab
lishment of friendly relations.
Speculate on Policy
Communications have been given out
by the British and German officials in
which mutual satisfaction is expressed
relative to the aims and foreign poli
cies of the two governments.
All this has been so sudden that the
question is already being raised of how
long it will last. Diplomats who have
been watching recent events closely
are optimistic.
They point out that British and Ger
man interests do not clash in any part
of the world and that the bitterness
between tire two nations really arose
out of jealousy over affairs in the
near east.
Their aims, however, have been de
clared identical, and, Germany having
reached an agreement with France
regarding Morocco, there appears
nothing on the horizon over which they
can quarrel.
The appearance of the Anglo-German
rapprochement, it is recognized,
largely depends on that between Ger
many and France, for in recent years
the differences between Germany and
Great Britain arose largely, from Ger
many's supposed hostile attitude
toward Great Britain's new-found
French friends.
YON BUELOW SAYS GERMAN
OFFICIALS ARE OPTIMISTIC
BERLIN, Feb. 13.—Chancellor Yon
Buelow is hopeful of good results from
the recent visit to Berlin of King Ed
ward and in this connection he today
expressed himself as follows:
"The conversation between English
and German statesmen held while the
king was here has evoked sincere sat
isfaction on the German side, and they
justify the firm expectation that be
cause of the king's visit the confidence
in the loyalty of both England and
Germany and the understanding of the
political aims of both countries will
be strengthened.
"The discussion of the Balkan ques
tion revealed a far-reaching agreement
both in regard to the endeavors of
England and Germany for the preser
vation of peace, and in the attitude of
each government toward the new re
gime in Turkey.'
CLOCK STOPS IN HONOR OF
LINCOLN, TO SHAME SOLONS
Remarkable Coincidence in Okla«
homa's Legislature Causes Mem.
bers to Observe Centennial
GUTHRIE, Okla., Feb. 13.—A re
markable incident yesterday startled
the lower house of the Oklahoma legis
lature into adjournment after it had
been decided by vote to ignore ob
servance of the Lincoln anniversary.
Ponting to the large electric clock
on the wall of the house chamber, Rep
resentative Jones, near the noon hour,
said:
"I wish to call the attention of the
members to one of the strangest coinci
dences I have ever seen. That clock,
after counting- the time without inter
ruption ever since this body has been
in session, has stopped at the hour of
11 o'clock.
"One hundred years ago Abraham
Lincoln was born, as history runs, at
the exact minute at which this clock
has stopped.
"In stopping work this clock is show
ing far greater respect to Lincoln's
memory than is this body. I move that
we adjourn until tomorrow morning."
The motion carried without a dis
senting vote.
The senate remained in session. The
house historians are agreed that Lin
coln was born at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, and that the difference in time
between his birthplace and Guthrie is
one hour. The local manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company
said the clock could not have been
tampered with without detection.
BLACK HAND SOCIETY USES
AUTO TO ATTACK VICTIMS
Members of New York's Camurra
Adopt Formidable Method of
Blackmailing Italians
NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-That mys
terious organization known to Italians
and the police as the Black Hand has
adopted up-to-date methods of operat
ing in New York.
An attack from an automobile was
made yesterday on Gus Merino, a Har
lem junk dealer, who had been re
ceiving threatening letters demanding
the payment of JSOOO for several weeks
past.
When Merino left his shop and was
walking along the sidewalk, a machine
rushed up to the curb and one of the
three occupants sprang out and began
firing.
With rare presence of mind Merino
dropped to the sidewalk and feigned
death, thus escaping without a scratch
The man who fired the shots quickly
turned and jumped into the machine
and whizzed away.

Buchanan Telegraphs State Depart.

Resumption of Diplomatic Re.

[By Associated Press.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Special
Commissioner W. I. Buchanan today
telegraphed the state department that
he has just signed a protocol with the
Venezuelan government for the set
tlemen of the disputes between that
country and the United States.
He will leave Caracas for home
Tuesday.
Three claims go to The Hague
tribunal for arbitration, the fourth is
to be settled by a small cash payment
and the fifth h#s been settled directly
between the Venezuelan government
and the claimants.
The protocol ig equally satisfactory
to the United States and Venezuela. It
saves the dignity and honor of Vene
zuela, while as for America the
troublesome claims that have led to
so much negotiation are settled.
The New York and Bermudez As
phalt company, through Mr. Buc
hanan, has ranched a direct settlement
with the government, by which the

company obtains possession of its
property in Venezuela and agrees to
nay the government a minimum rev
enue of $20,000 a year.
Furthermore, the company will pay
the government a cash indemnity of
$60,000 to compromise the suit brought
against it on account of its alleged
participation in the Matos revolution.
A. F. Jarrett, an American newspa
per man who was expelled from Vene
zuela by former President Castro, is
awarded $3000.
The claims of the United States and
Venezuela company, otherwise known
as the Critohfleld concession of the
Orinocco Steamship company and Ori
nocco corporation, are to be submitted
to The Hagu<e tribunal for arbitration.
Mr. Buchanan, it is felt here, has
achieved a great success.
Officials Secretive
Because of lack of detailed dispatcher,
officials <of the state department prefer
not to make any statement touching
the results except to say that the Asso
ciated Press dispatches from < "araeas
accurately indicate what has been
achieved.
As to the money consideration in
volved in the claim of the New York
anrl Bermudez Asphalt company, the
officials are not fully advised. Officials
are particularly pleased that the as
phalt company's dispute is not to go to
arbitration because of certain features
involved.
Presumably Mr. Buchanan's work
will be followed by a general arbitra
tion treaty between the two countries,
as a basis of a special treaty stating
specifically the issues to be arbitrated,
which requires ratification by the sen
ate before the cases may go to The
Hague.
President Gomez is expected to name
promptly a minister to Washington.

TO SIGN CONTRACTS
FOR LARGE CANALS
Last Objectionable Features Removed
and Secfetary Garfield Expected
Soon to Authorize
Work
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—A1l ob
stacles to the signing by Secretary of
the Interior Garfield of the contract
for the construction of the Grand Val
ley irrigation project in Colorado,
which has been withheld because of
what he believed to be an objection
able clause, it is believed, have been
removed. ;- «|
It Is expected that the contract win
be signed in a few days. The main
canal, as it was projected, would par
allel and cross the Denver and Rio
Grande railway at several points, and
the attorneys for the company had in
serted in the contract a' provisional ob
ligation on the government to assume
responsibility for damage to the right
of way of that line and for injuries to
workmen employed during the prog
ress of the work.
Secretary Garfield objected to this
clause and declined to sign unless it
was modified or eliminated. As the
result of a conference, with George
Gould and President .Jeffrey of the
Denver and Rio Grande by D. W. Aup
perle of Grand Junction, Colo., who rep
resents the interests of the farmers
along the railroad, Mr. Gould has di
rected that the clause be changed to
comply with the government conten*
tion.
