WASHINGTON, 25.—Seo Moody was more fully advised of the sit- dation on the isthmus this afternoon by an- ; other and a longer cablegram from Com- mander McLean at Colon. It was sald at v while befofe the appointed time for the Sept ary the department that the commander's re- port was to the effect that conditions on the istbmus, while not seriously disturbed now, are such that the United States forces at present there can not be withdrawn or minished {7,\ squadron of the North Atlantic fleet 18 rendezvous in the Caribbean s-a a good dembly of the vesselt for the North and South Atlantic and Kuropean stations. it 18 sald at the Navy department that the big crutser Olympla, flagship of Rear Ad- miral Coghlan, will be ready and at that officer’s disposal by October 20. The cruiser San Francisco !s mow on its way to the ' West Indies ,and there are already In these waters Cincionati, Montgomery, Marietta and Panther. Besides these vessels, the Mavy department intends to attach to Ad- iral Coghlan's equadron the protected crulser Raleigh, the unprotected cruiser Dotroit and the gunboat Machias. The Navy department has two objects fn view 1n this early dispatgh of ‘war vessels to the Caribbean, namely, preliminary work in re- gArd to the maneuvers and the disturbed ftuation. It is argued that as the vessels are t8 go down to the West Indles anyway, 1tNs just as well, in view of the state of affairs in Central and South America, to have them go eariler. Governor r Protests. PANAMA, Colombia, Sept. 25.—Traffic across the isthmus is free, and part of the revolutionary army having retreated to Wkua Dulce, the danger of a battle on the sthmus is belleved to be removed. Jn a communication sent to Commander McLéan of the United States cruiser Cin- cinnatl, Governor Salazar has endeavored to demonstrate that the Colomblan gov- ernment has here all the forces necessary ' to protect the lives and property of all for- elgners and to guarantee their rights agatnst .the law and international treaties. The governor adds that he s desirous of hav- iug pointed out to him & single case where the lives and property of forelgners have been menaced, consequently he holds that fhe landing of the United States marin was not justified. He says he regards it as &n attempt 1o assume the sovereigoty of Colombla, protests and states that he will hold Commander McLean responsible for whatever may happen as the result of the marines landing. In the meanwhile, 250 American marines remain here to protect American interests. RESTAURADOR SALUTES FLAG Unpleasant Incident with Ven ‘WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacoa, Sept. 5.—Detalls have been received here of ihe losing of the Incident arising from the action of the Venezulean warship Restaur- ador In holsting the American flag, ap- proaching Cludad Bollvar, under those colors, and then opening fire on the town. It was through United States Cousul Goldechmidt, at La Guayra, that the news was transmitted to Minister Bowen at Caracas, and the latter, after obtaining confirmation of the report, called on the foreign minister, Senor Lopez Baralt, pro- sented the case to him and obtained his promises tbat satisfaction would be ac- corded by Veneauela after the matter had been Investigated by the Venesuela authori- tles.! ABout . sixtéen hours later the govern- ment of Veuesuela through the foreign minister expressed its regret at the occur- rence and orders were forwarded to the commander of Restaurador to holst the ' American, flag and salute it. At § P o'clock ‘I‘Iurl“uy the foreign warships at anchor off LaGuayrs were surprised, the 1' whole matter having been kept secret, to see Restaurador holst the stars and ripes and then fire & salute of twenty- one guns. Never before has the Venezuelan govern- ment aéted so promptly and so satisfactor- fly, as the result of diplomatic repre- septations, and it emphasizes Venesuela's - desire to mainialn the most friemdly re- lations with the United States. The Americans at Caragas are praising Bowu, for so quickly bringing about a set- th it of the affalr, which at one time promised to assume a serlous phase. ) HERE HAMLET MET THE GHOST Committee Proposes to Erect Statue of Shakespeare at Krouborg Castle, Elsinore.

BERLIN, Sept. 25.—President Roosevelt has chosen Charlemagne Tower, ambassador to Russia, to succeed Mr. White as am- bassador to Germany. Notifications of this decision and that Mr. White's letters of call had been issued by the State depart. ment have reached the Forelgn office here. The appointment of Mr. Tower had been expected here for several weeks. As he was passing through Berlin six weeks ago he gave a hin: to one or two of his friends that he might be transferred to this court. Mr. White will probably have his farewell audience of the emperor on No- vember 7, his birthday, as had been pro- visionally arranged, becaus his majesty leaves November 5 for England. The re- tiring ambassador, therefore, is not lkely to present his letters of recall until about the middle of November. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—The appoint- ment of Charlemagne Tower as ambas- sador to Germany to succeed Mr. White is confirmed here. It is likely that ofi- cial announcement of the change will be made soon, either by President Roosevelt himself or by the State department. Mr. Tower's acceptance of the German mission will create a vacancy in the am- bassadorship to Russia, which is held now by him. It 1s regarded as quite likely that be will in turn be succeeded by Hon. Bel- lamy Storer, present ambassador to the court of Madrid. It is i.timated further that the vacancy In the Spanish mission may be filled by the appointment of Mr. Henry White, present secretary of embassy in Great Britain. FAVOR TAKING DOWN THE BARS Legislative Assemblies at Bremen and HamW®urg Vote to Open F' tlers to Live Stoek. not BERLIN, Sept. 25.—The legislative as- semblies of Bremen and Hamburg have vot- ed by large majorities |n favor of open- ing the trontlers to foreign live stock. A long list of cities previously took the same action. The executive committee of the National Butchers' assoclation, answering an agrarian circular denying that there is & meat scarcity, points out that the swine slaughterings have declined 20 per cent in two years, and that prices have risen 30 per cent. Facts like these place the government in a0 awkward position. They strengthen the government in resisting the agrarian de- mands, but the government is unable to use the facts to advantage because the at- titude of the ministry has been to treat the rise In the price of meat lightly, Herr von Poblielski, Prussian minister of agri- culture, saying the high prices are merely an annual occurrence, while anima's are waiting for the potato crop for fattening purposes. The soclalists are making capi- tal from the situtaion. The Voerwaerts devotes several columns & day to a keen observation of the causes of the meat scarcity, and attributes the principal reason therefor to ‘the inabllity of farmers to supply the home market. At Stuttgart today a proposition made by the soclalists that the eity council abolish the tax levied at the ecity §ates on meats was rejected. BEGINS TO ATTRACT NOTICE French New: Attentio Note of See- retary Hay. PARIS, Sept. 25.—Secretary Hay's note to the powers on the subject of Roumania's treatment of Jews, of which slight notice was at first taken, under the impression that it would lead to mothing, 1s now a tracting more attention in the French pre: and in official circles here. It Is practically certaln that the Frepch government will support & movement ampng the powers to put pressure on Roumania In favor of better treatment of the Jews, and it Is belleved Germany will take & similas attitude. While It Is thought the United States will thus be successtul in stirring the powers iuto seriously cousidering the matter, and that remonstrances may be ad- dressed to Roumania, not much hope Is ex- pressed in practical and permanent effect within Roumania from such action. A semi-official agency today ecirculated the follpwing announcement: The French government has pot vet re- lied to Secr Hay's note.

Relish VISITORS NOT ADMITTED FOR PRESENT Doctors In t Upon Absolute Quiet, Although Distinguished Patient Condition is Not Regarded as in Any Reapect Serious. | WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 — President Roosevelt passed a comfortable night and | ate his breakfast with great relish this morning. After breakfast Dr. Rixey, sur- geon general of the navy; Dr. O'Rellly, sur- and Dr. Lung %y e an examination of the wound and re- 47y that it was in & satisfactory condi- £y expect the inflammation to be yed without complication. Absolute | quie. das been enjoined upon their distic- | guished patient. | There was a slight rise in the president's temperature last night after he reached | the temporary White House. This was a tributable to the excitement incident to his | removal from the train, and was regarded as entirely natural in the bircumstances | The president is in excellent spirits, but has acquiesced in the decision of his phy- elcians for absolute repose. The announce- ment is made that he will see no visitors, | save the members of his cabinet, and then only upon tne most important business. It is the desire of the president that t! public should be informed fully concerning { hie condition, but there is a natural an- | tipathy agalost the issue of bulletins lest the gravity of the wound might be magni- fled. It is not unlikely, however, that Sec- retary Cortelyou occasionally may issue an official statement, if for no other reason | than to silence disquieting rumors. Possi- | ble complications can ariee only if it should | later develop that the bone of the leg is injured, a contingency not now anticipated The president did not leave his bed this morning, but sat up and read a book. Sec- retaries Shaw, Wilson and Hitchcock found him reading when they called. They said he looked as hale and hearty as he ever | d1d. Secretaries Shaw and Wilson returned | only this morning from Chicago, where they were to have met the president. Sits Up In the Bed. Throughout the day the president re- mained sitting up in bed, interesting him- self with a book or chatting with Mrs. Roosevelt, except when directing the dis- position of some matter regarded as press- ing enough to bring to his attention. Littl> business will be laid before him, but there are several matters, including some pending diplomatic appointments, which probably will be attended to shortly. Secretary Cortelyou during the day trans- acted much routine busine: Only a tew of the foreign diplomats are in the city, but those here called personally to inquire after the president's condition. Among the first to arrive was the Japanesc minister, Mr. Takahira. There were also a number of other distinguished callers, in- cluding General James Longstreet. Secretary Moody wi admitted to; the president’s bed room about noon abd re- mained with him for some time. The sec- retary made a passing reference to the sit- uation In South American waters. “I did not desire to trouble the president with official business,” said he, “although he is as able at present td consider such mat- ters as he ever was. He is like a man sof- fering from a sprained ankle, well and hearty except for the local trouble with his leg.” Had Comfortable Day. Dr. Lung remained at the White House throughout the day. At 4 o'clock Surgeon General Rixey came over from ihe Navy department and after he had seen the presi- dent it was announced that President Roose. velt had passed a comfortable day, with no, appreciable change in his condition. The slight rise in temperature noted dur- ing the night had disappeared. The doc- tore say that the president will be con- fined to his room a week or ten days, with two weeks as the outside limit. SENATORS POST UP ON HAWAII Commiss Takes Much Testimony from All Sorts of People at Honolulu. HONOLULU, Sept. 15.—(Via San Fran- clsco, Sept. 26.)—The enatorial commission has been steadily engaged in taking testi- mony In regard to conditions here since the senators arrived. Tomorrow the party will leave for Hilo and the island of Hawali, resuming the taking of testimony in Hono- {lulu on September 22. The commission has heard testimony on the widest variety of subjects. Every person who desired to be heard has been accorded an opportunity to speak. Nearly two days were occupied in hearing statements regarding the manage- ment of leper settlements. Almost all who were heard on the subject objected to a transfer of the control of the settlement from the territory to the federal authori- tles. The principal persons heard on this subject were Attorney General Dole, Dr. Slogget, the president of the board of health, and W. O. Smith, formerly attor- ney general. The Planters’ assoclation presented a me- morial urging that congress modify the Chinese exclusion act so as to permit the introduction of a limited number of Chi- nese laborers, to be employed for limited fods {n plantation work exclusively. They argue that white labor cannot be secured | general industries of the territory will be {80 well built up as and remunerative employment in more con- enial industries to many white men. main land is vitally interested in the pros- | perity of the islands, as the Pacific coast commerce with the island exceeds its other transpacific commerce.

DEPARTMENT OF THE COLUMBIA Much Work is Needed to Bring Bar- racks and Other Bulld Out of Decay. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Brigadier Gen- oral Georgo M. Raudail, iu his monuai re- port on military affairs in the department of the Columbla, remarks the fact that the department hus been without a commander at the headquarters for several years. He says this has resulted In neglect of build- Ings and grounds with a deterioration and loss to the government. At Vancouver, the dcpartment headquarters, he says, addi- tional officers are needed. The post at Vancouver will be greatly crowded with the troops ordered there, and he urges that more barracks be constructed immediately. Repairs are necessary at Kor{ Walla Wall General Randall suggested the. advisability of deferring any action looking to the abandonment of Boise barracks. He thinks that Fort Wright, because it is mearer the raliroad center of Spokane, should be en- larged to provide for regimental headquar- ters and two battalions. Referring to the frost at the mouth of the Columbia river, be says there has been great diffculty in obtaining a water supply for Fort Stevens, and suggests a pipe line to Lewls and Clarke rivers. General Randall says the post at Camp Skagway, Alaska, is an important one, and recommends the construction of permanent Quarters and barracks. The cable between St. Michael and Nome has fafled to work sioce last November, and a contract has been made for a wireless system. The inspector general of the department 18 quoted as saying that the work of the army in Alaska has been harder than ever, and that troops sometimes have been at work when the thermometer has been 30 degrees below zero. General Randall recommends the estab- Ifshment of a depot of supplies at Seattle, and that that city be made the home port of transports plying between Seattle and Alaska. CONSUL BAER OFF FOR CUBA tion at Clenfuegos Next (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Max Baer of St. Paul, to Clenfuegos, who has been in Washington for several days, will leave for New York to. morrow, sailing for his new post on Octo- ber 4. Mr. Baer has gone over the diploma- tic situation with officials in the State de- partment and has béden instructed as to the requirements of his new position. From the American standpoint exceptional courtesy has been shown Mr. Baer by the State de- |partment and as he s the first consul from the United States accredited to the republic | of Cuba, with station at Cienfuegos, he goes to his new post much more generally in- formed as to conditions than is usual with the Department of State. As Clenfuegos is the next post of importance to Havana, Con- sul Baer will be calted upon to pass upon many questions he has not met with here- tofore In his diplomatic career, especlally questions affecting seamen and thelr rights | and his ability as a judicially-minded officer will be tested. The consulate will be fur- | nished throughout by American-made goods and as the consul has not been restricted in his wants it is thought Consul Baer's off- clal home will be in keeping with the high position the United States proposes to as- sume In the Gem of the Antillies. Mr. Baer Is accompanied by his son, who goes to Cuba for the purpose of making a study of the Spanish language. | MONKS IN A FISTIC FRAY| They Clash Over Pri | ing Church Steps and Many i A b., consul e Follow.

CONVENTION INTERPRETS TARIFF PLANK ats that it Does Not Mean Any Abandonment of the Principle of Protection for Amer- ten Labor. (From a Staff Correspondent.) HAMPTON, la., Sept. 25.—The repub- lican congressional convention for the Third for the new brick dormitory addition to the | district today resulted in the nomination | of Judge B. P. Birdsall of Eagle Grove, Wright county, on the third ballot. The convention was called to order by Don. C. Glasser of Dubuque and John C. Crockett of Eldora was made chairman. The committee of notification appointed by the same convention in May made a forma report of the declination of David B. Hen- derson of the nomination unanimously ten- | dered him. The convention adopted a rule to pro- ceed at once with nominations. The following candidates were formally presented: Bremer county, Burton E. Sweet; Buchanan, C, E. Ransier; Butler, M. F. Edwards, Wright, E. P. Birdsall The first ballot resulted: Sweet, Birdsall, 39; Edwards, 18; Ransier, 34. On the second ballot Birdsall got 51 On the third ballot Birdsail got 88, Ran- sier 38 and Sweet 1. Dubuque county went soldidly for Birdsall. Before the announce- ment was made the nomination was made unanimous on motion of Buchanan county. Judge Birdsall appeared before the con- vention and made a speech, fn which he declared he stood by the lowa platform and the party in his district. He is a lawyer 55 years old, a large, handsome man, aple to make a good speech and he will prove a good candidate. He resigned from the bench u few vears ago on account of 11l health and has taken little part in state politics. His nomination suits all faction: Some of the leaders opposed any com- mittee on resolutions, but the Dubugue delegation insisted and a committee was appointed and reported the following, which were adopted: Resolutions Adopted. We, the representatives of the republicans of the Third congressional district of Towa heartily endorse the platform of principle adopted by the late republican state con- vention at Des Molnes. We deny that the Dingley tariff breeds and shelters tr We interpret the tarlff plank in the Moines platform of 1902 to be merely a reit- eration of and to mean no more than the St. Louts plank of 159 which recited; “We not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates is a practical ques- tlon to be governed by the conditions of the times and of production. The ruling and uncompromising principle s the pro- tection and development of American labor and industry.” We cordially 28; recognize and earnestly commend the patriotic fervor of President Roosevelt, and the wisdom of both the foreign and domestic policies of his ad- ministration, which are adding constantly to the high reputation of the nation abroad and the prosperity of the people at home. We most earnestly regret the declination of the renomination which the republicans of this district for the eleventh time unani- mously tendered the Hon. D. B. Hender- son. No official has been more anxious to keep In touch with and falthfully represent |, the well considered judgment of his con- stituents than has Colonel Henderson dur- ing all the long years of his congressional career, We have faith in his patriotism and in his personal and political integrity; we are conscious of his great mental power and ability; we realize his superb leader- ship and commanding Influence in govern- mental affairs and belleve that his with- drawal means a great loss to the people. D. C. Glassen of Dubuque resigned chairman of the congressional committee and George E. Wright of Eagle Grove was elected to fill the vacancy. Judge Birdsall is about 45 years old. The only office he has ever held is the judgeship of the district court, which he resigned a year ago to resume the practice of law in Clarion. IGNORE THE BRYAN DOCTRINE Refune ity Connecticut Democrats to Even Mention the Kani Contession of Faith. NEW HAVEN, Conn,, Sept. 25.—The dem- ocratic state convention adjourned at 5:35 tonight, after a session lasting all day. A full state ticket was nominated and a plat- form was adopted, and the convention, which had promised to be one of the most bitter in the history of the party in this state, closed In harmony. The ticket nom- inated was as follows: Governor, Melbert B. Cary, Ridgefleld; lleutenant governor, E. Kent Hubbard, jr., Mlddletown; secretary of state, Arthur B. Calkins, Old Lyme; treasurer, Philip Hugo, New Haven; comp- troller, Edward G. Kilduff, Waterbury; at- torney general, Noble E. Plerce, Bristol; congressman rge, Homer S. Cummings, Stamford. The platform occasioned a heated debate in the committee room, but once presented to the convention, as recommended by the committee, it was adopted without debate. A strenuous struggle had been made in committee for the endorsement of the Kan- sas City platform, and one delegate left the committee in anger because his views were not those of the majority. The com- mittee refused to mention the Kansas City doctrine, and the fight practically ended there. A later effort of the Kansas City platform supporters to get the matter be- fore the convention was cleverly smothered, and it was not heard from again The nomination for governor was the oniy one that needed a ballot, the others all go- ing through by acclamation.
