as the blockades powers. Tbe &u

here, and they reject in toto tbe proyoeaL
Tbe answers were to tbe effect that

Baron Speck Ton 8ternburg. Germany's
new Envoy, was at his desk
for two hours In conference with
Count Quadt, who, as Charge d'Affaires.
baa thus far conducted tbe Venezuelan
negotiations for Germany. The
German Minister was placed in possession
of the entire correspondence which
las passed between Mr. Bowen snd
(he Allied Powers, and was advised
fcy the Count of tbe serious hitch wblcb
has occurred as a result of the last
contention of tbe triple alliance for

the Minister called by appointment at
the State Department and presnted bis
Setters of credence to Secretary Hay
and afterward to tbe President
The exchanges at tie White House
iwere verbal, the President for this occasion
waiving the usual preparatory
ceremonies, and Baron Sternburg confined
himself to an expression of the
Smperor's friendly feeling for tbe
United States and his own gratification
at being able to return to America in
this capacity. The President respond*
ad In a felicitous vein, incidentally expressing
tbe bope that the Baron's
coming would result in the settlement
f all pending questions, this being sn
indirect reference to tbe Venesuelan
Issue. Beyond this the question was
not discussed.
From the White House Baron Sternberg
went to the British Embassy,
where be saw tbe Ambassador, exhibited
bis credentials, and immediately
launched into an active discussion of
the negotiations.
Baron 8ternburg In his calls at the
State Department end the British Embassy
found the ortlook for a relief
f the present desdlock exceedingly
gloomy, and he has cabled as much to
his Government
Meanwhile Mr. Bowen is biding bis
time. He Is keeping Caracas Informed
as to the progress of events here, and
!r counseling patience, hoping that tbe
powers will yet yield. As a matter of
fact he has a - yet received do intimation
from tbe powers that they are
really desirous of settling the Venezuelan
dispute at Washington, as the
representstJoos of the powers have
thus far consisted of counter pro position?.
Daring a call of M. de Margerle up*
en Secretary Hay tbe fact developed
that the French charge has received
specific instructions from his Government
to Insist thst France shall not
be discriminated against in the settlement
of the Venesuelan claims. Having
the perronal assurance of Mr.
Bo wen that the French claims shall
aot be discriminated against, M. Margeria
refrains at present from action,
hot as soon ss be shall be assured by
Mr. Bowen that tbe Allies refuse to
vermit such treatment to the French
claims as be expects, he will take steps
to lodge a formal protest against the
proposed discrimination, and In so do*
in* be expects to be joined by the representatives
of the other claimant nations
here.

Washington, D. C.?For the first
seven months of the current fiscal year
the receipts of the Government have
exceeded the expenditures by $29,105.314.
and there Is a prospect tbat the

reach $60,000,000. The total receipts
for the past month were $45,900,337.
and the total expenditures $42,564,000.

Tbe total receipts for tbe first seven

and the total expenditures
$306,403,972,
The expenditures for January of tbla

Payments on account of interest show

that one year ago payment of tbe
January interest had been anticipated.
In civil and miscellaneous the usual increase
is shown, and in tbe Navy there
was an increase of $2,000,000, while In
the War Department there was a decrease
