BLOCKADE MOST BE RAISED. Venezuela Demands That Powers Declare Blockade Ended Be fore Negotiations Begin. -? Washington, Jan. 2L?Raising of the blockade is Venezuela's condi tion precedent to the formal institu tion of negotiations with' the powers for a settlement of their claims. Her representative? Minister Bowen, has presented this proposition to the rep resentatives of the allies here, and it has been cabled to the foreign offices at London, Berlin and Rome. Little progress can be made pending the receipt of the answers, which it is ex pected will be in the nature of a joint reply and may not reach Wash ington for several days. :^ Considerable reticence is being main tained by the negotiations as to the preliminary steps and they are averse to discussing the nature of Venezuela's t. initial proposition until a reply to it I has been made. It is understood, how ever, that in asking that the blockade be lifted Minister Bowen let it bo un derstood that he was in a position to offer suitable guaranty for the pay ment of the jest claims of the allies. He did not state, however, what this surety was and it is expected the reply $f ,_tbe powers will be in the nature of a counter proposition that Venezuela ?gree to a settlement of the claims arising from the injuries done to for eign citizens in Venezuela. It developed today that Minister Bowen's powers include jurisdiction over the claims of ail foreign coun tries, Castro having authorized him to negotiate through the reprseenta tives at Washington, with all the pow ers having claims against his country. No active steps, however, will be taken until the preliminary difficulties. have been cleared away. EUROPE NO LONGER CREDITOR. European financial papers are casting horoscopes and predicting that ere long the debit and credit status of the old and new world will be reversed. During the season of liquidation in the stock market last fall America's floating indebtedness abroad was greatly reduced. Late estimates are .that the amount of floating obligations to Great Britian and Europe is now down to $125,000,000. In view of the fact that we have a favorable monthly trade balance of not less than $30,000, 000, this figure is not appalling. It represents the payments which must be made to this country during a period not more than five months ahead. There is no unreality about this fact The balances are concrete, and it takes something of real value to meet them. During the last seven years the old world has paid over 33,000,000,000 in settlement of trade balances with the ? United States. These differences have mainly been --paid inyStocks and other securities held abroad. Supplies of this kind of property have now run very low on the other side and what remains is in $he strong boxes of wealthy investors and will not come out. Some other way must be found to liquidate. Our foreign indebtedness will very $con be wiped out, or all signs are at fault. Conditions will then be changed and Europe will become in stern reality our debtor instead of a fussy creditor, nervous over every little change in conditions here and querulous lest American prosperity be on the wane.

Washington, Jan. 21.?The sub committee of the House committee on naval affairs, which is investigating the charge made by Representative Lessler, of New York, that he had been approached for the purpose of in fluencing his action as a member of the committee upon the preposition for authorizing the construction of submarine torpedo boats, will make at j least a partial report to the full com- j mittee tomorrow morning at 10' o'clock. Mr. Lessler was again be- ] 'fore the^ sub-committee today and 1 made an additional statement, in, which he is said to have used the names of an Ex-Representative from New York and another prominent New York politican. The proceed ings of the sub-committee were secret and all the members were unusually -reticent. Unconscious From Croup. During a sudden and terrible attack of croup our little girl was unconscious from strangulation, says A. L. Spafford, post master, Chester, Mich., and a dose of One Minute Cough Cure was administered and repeated often. It reduced the swelling and inflammation, cut the mucus and shortly the child was resting easy and speedily recovered. It cures coughs, colds, iagrippe, and all throat and lung troubles. One Minute Cough Cure lingers in the throat and che.-1 and enables the lungs to con#ibute pure, health-giving oxjgeu to the blood. J S Hughson & Co.

Boschee, a celebrated Ger man physician, and is acknowledged to be one of the most fortunate discoveries in medicine. It quickly cures coughs, colds and hang troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does, the cause of the affection an*! leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not au experimental medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving statisfiaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Iwo million bottles sold annually. Boschfe's Cerm:n Syrup was introduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world. Three doeea will relieve any ordinary cough. Price 25 and 75 cts.

Paine's Celery Compound GIVES YIGOE AID STEMGTE TO DEBILITATED AND EUIT DOWIT WOMEli It is maintained by many distinguished writers that the greatness of a nation depends much upon the physical conditio:! of its women. The general conditions which con tribute to health and long life, arc those which do not imply a rapid and itncqual c\hn-..-:L-:> of those powers by which life is maintained. While we assert" that -the women of o::r land stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that make them lovable, we cannot' hide the fact that there are thousands in our midst who, owing to overwork, worn-, household cares, and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have "become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili ? tated. We bring to the attention of all wean", despondent, hopeless, and sickly women earth's great rescuer and health builder, Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of healthy women around us owe their present vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St. Paul, Minn., tells how she was snatched from the grave; she says:? " I had a bad attack cf la grippe this spring and was at death's door, and no one ever expected me to recover. I was so weak that as soon as they brought me out of one faint I was in another. I could not take any nourishment, and doctors' medicines did me no good. A friend advised my husband to get me a bottle of Paine's Celery Compound, which he did, but had no faith in it. The second day after taking the Compound, I began to get real hungry and took an interest in things. I had everything that money and loving care could supply, and with that and Paine's Celery Compound, I am new doing my own work, while three months ago I was almost in the grave. I know that I owe my health and strength to Paine's Gelen- Com pound, and shall always recommend it."
