Caracas, Jan.%7.—The answers of the
growers to President Castro's last pro-
posal relative to arbitration were de-
livered to President Castro this even-
ing by United States Minister Bowen
A meeting of the cabinet was also call-
ed to consider these, communications.
It is expected the answers will ha
handed to Minister Bowen tonight.
It will be forwarded by him at once
to Washington.
It has been learned from an author-
itative source that the answers of the
powers delivered by Mr. llowen this
afternoon have created a feeling of de-
pression in Venezuelan government
circles.
All sorts of rumors are current In
Caracas tonight concerning President
Castro's answer to the communications
of the powers, but none of them is re-
liable. It can be said upon good au-
thority that Mr. Bowen does not expect
to receive the Venezuelan answer be
lore tomorrow.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 7.—A special
to the TYlbune from Eureka Nev . bays
That J. A. Traylor. mmiagir ,,r ih«- Th.. prw ,if botl-
precedent forbids the Joining together
of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
originally one. and that but recently
it was intended and is now demande'd
by the people Inhabitating the van'
territory that they be brought togeth-
er under one government.
As further evidence in support of
our position, wo point to tho very vst-'
and friendly business relations tha
now exist between the people of the
two territories; the strong social ties,
cemented by Joint organizations that
have existed from the earliest days*
the religious life and organizations. In
the past, now, and always one. in-
tensely alive, and which have now.
from small beginnings, assumed largo
proportions. The Institutions of learn-
ing. all monuments of progress ami
development, are open to the youth of
h territory free of charge. The
joint organization of the Epworth
I.uague, the Christian Endeavor so-
ciety. and many other social, religious
and fraternal bodies working In per-
fect harmony under the single organi-
zation, might be mentioned as illustra-
tive of the feeling of good will and
attachment now existing, all of which
ties woufd be rudely sundered by any
measure which tends to divorce th'?
two territories from the union, which,
for all practical purposes, is already
entered Into.
We demand that the un-American
conditions under which we now exist
shall not longer continue. In making
this demand we are not unmindful of
the obligations or the United Stated
government to the Five Nations of In-
dians. and we especially insist that all
such obligations be sacredly observed
and that the Indians, both as tribes
and as individuals, be fully protected
In all property and political rights.
We assert and maintain that the vari-
ous boards and agencies of the federal
government can proceed without pre-
judice to the Indian citizen, and with
no alteration of plans already outlined,
after the political privileges of citizen-
ship and the constitutional right of
local self-government have been se-
cured to all parties residing in these
territories just as readily as they
could by the present unsettled condi-
tions are allowed to remain unchanged
for an indefinite period.
We appeal to congress foi relief in
behalf of the little children residing In
the Indian Territory—not there by
their own choice, but because of cir-
cumstances over which they have no
control. Kirmlnate the adult popula-
tion ami consider only the welfare of
these little ones, and the demand be-
comes imperative. We ask here and
now, what manner of man is he. who
clothed with legislative authority for
giving these children the boon for
which so long their friends have un-
varlngly petitioned, assumes to Hay
they must longer wait?
If population determines our right,
then, by every precedent heretofore
established, our claim is justified.
If area Is to be a factor In the de-
termination. then no question can
arise as to our right to statehood.
If natural resources and material de-
velopment nre to be the criterion of
action, then we can safely count upon
immediate statehood.
If education. Industry and devotion
to American institution!!! form the bul-
wark that Insures recognition, then
congress. In our judgment, should at
once, by legal enactment admit us to
tne sisterhood of states.
If patriotism and a desire to enjoy
the full benefits of citizenship, and to
control our domestic affairs should
guide the action of congress, then the
bill enabling us to enjoy these right*

for Senator Teller.
In the state campaign, which closed In
November, Senator Teller and Mr. Hryan
campaigned together, pust as they (lid In

believe It would be better for the party in

There Is a fair nrospect that this will

Information. Various oth« r statements
regarding the crop leads to the conclusion
that the yield will more likely exceed
than fall below these figures It is ob-

granted that Consul General Seeger's es-
timates are carefully made In the publh
interests and entirely free from bullish
or bearish market influences, lie express-
es the opinion that a considerable decrease
even from the present low prices of coffee
is Inevitable in the near future.
These are the data, fairly reliable, upon
which is based the belief that coffee will
continue to rule cheap for several years
to come and probably much cheaper'than

supply of coffee in this country is. in

Special Dispatch lo the State Capital.
Wetumka. I. T.. Jan. 7.—Wetumka
is one of live, energetic towns that is
rapidly pushing to the front. Its pop-
ulation now numbers 1,500 and is dally
Increasing. Wetumka lies In the fam-
ous rich farming valley of the North I
Canadian. This valley is noted for its
great productiveness.
EXCELLENT BOTTOM LAND.
Wetumka has more good bottom
land surrounding It than any other
town In the Creek nation. The farm
lands surrounding Wetumka is settling
up very rapidly with a good class of
farmers. Some have leased 40, 80 and
1G0 arce tracts of lands. The vast
cattle ranachcs have disappeared and
the once great grazing country ha-s
become a great agriculture country
with wide awake and up-to-date farm-
ers that are making the farms produc-
tive In cotton, corn and hay. Wetumka
ships more cotton and hay than any
town situated on the Frisco in the
Creek nation. The country surround-
ing Wetumka has a number of fine
old orchards that, are famous through-
out the Creek nation, yield is large
and the quality Is exceptionally fine.
Old Wetumka lies one miles east. The
old court house of the Creek nation
is situated at this place. It is one of
the historic places of the Creek nation
as well as one of the oldest structures.
Wetumka mission lies three miles
east, of the town. It has been located
at this point over forty years. Nearly
all the Indians in this vicinity have
been educated at this famous institu-
tion. Their education has been very
complete and their citizenship is of a
high class and very marked.
BUSINESS CONCERNS.
Wetumka has two excellent cotton
gins, a good saw mill, thirty-five gen-
eral stores and two excellent banks.
The store* are well stocked and their
lines are full and complete. The stores
have the marks of prosperity and ap-
parently every one Is conducting a
successful business and coining mon-
ey. The commercial Is not a dead one,
but a live energetic set of up-to-date1*
business men ever alert to the business'
interests of Wetumka. Through their
efforts and oil and cotton seed mill
will be one of the industries of this
hustling town.
LAW ABIDING CITMENS.
Law and order are exceptionally
good and rodylsm and drunkenness are
j unknown In the city of Wetumka.
Wetumka has an excellent free school
system, fine school building and effi-
cient corps of four excellent teachers.
The churches like the schools are well
established and all denominations are
represented. There has been no com-
mercial failures in the history of the
town and apparently everybody has
inade a success in their business pur-
suits. The Wetumka hotel that burn-
c-jl six weeks ago is now rebuilding. It
will be an excellent brick and stone
structure and a credit to the city of
Wetumka. One noticeable feature
about all the buildings in Wetumka is
their permanency. They are built to
stay. All the business blocks are beau-
tiful stone structures of modern archi-
tecture. Wetumka has 30 business
houses built of slone and brick nnd
Dp t of then are two story structures.
They are very striking in abearance
and force a conclusion that Wetumka
is one of the great cities of the Creek
nation. Wetumka lies In the coal, oil
and gas belt and is bound to keep pace
with the rapid developments of Indian
Territory as the surrounding country
has kept pace with the town.

Denver, Col . Jan. 7. -After more than
ix hours voting during which the divis-
ion of the vote of the republican members
vho are in majority made the election of
peaker impossible, the lower house of the
fourteenth general assembly affected a
compromise organization. During the ear-
ly ballottbiK the vote stood seventeen

didate- and thirty-one fur the democrats.
Late in the afternoon a combination was
formed between the antl-Walcott repub-
licans and the democrats which resulted in
tho election of J H. San ford of Doug-
las county a* speaker. John F. Vivian as
chief clerk. M U Plummer sergeant at

sergeant at arms. All these ate anti-
Woleott t publicans except Lyons who Is

The Venezuelan Matter Will Bo
Adjusted by Impartial Rep-
resentation.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—The com-
mittee to whom wan referred the Ven-
ezuelan matter, for the purpose of ar-
ranging a plan by Which the difficul-
ties between the powers could be ad-
justed, has submitted a treaty. By this
treaty the contracting parties obligate
themselves to submit to the decision
of the arbitrators all controversies that
may exist among them, and which they
probably cannot settle, providing that
in the exclusive Judgment of any of
the interested nations the controver-
sies do not affect the national honor.
The treaty provides that when both
parties to the controversy can agree
to refer the question ilfdispute to the
Hague tribunal It shall be. so referred
but that otherwise It shall be referred
lo a special court. In case a special
tribunal is created it Is to consist of
three members.
There also is a provision to resort
lo meditation in cases of a conflict
which promises to lead to war, and in
this connection the right to offer med-
iation Is specifically set forth. Tho
provision of this point is as follows.
"The right to offer good offices or
mediation belongs to powers who ar>*
strangers to the conflict, even during
the course of hostilities. The exercise?
of this right ghall never be regarded bv
either of the contending parties as an
unfriendly act.
"The functions of the mediator nre
at an end when once declared, either
by one of the parties to the dispute or
by the mediator himself, that the
methods of conciliation proposed by
him are not excepted."
