ENGLISH NIGHT DRAWS CROWDS TO CARNIVAL Brilliant Tableaux Illustrate Scemes From the Works of Albion’s Great Authors, A picturesque march, followed by equal- Iy picturesque tableaux, was the leading feature of. the entertainment given in the Native Sons’ Hall last evening in the Carnival of Ancient and Modern Arts. When the festivities were at their height the hall was a scene of remarkable bril- liancy. The costumes of many nations were displayed by those who are taking part in the carnival. The booths, attend- ed by handsomely gowned ladies and stocked with articles of beauty and use, were even handsomer than on the open- ing night. A large audience listened to the music furnished by the band of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum and enjoyed the tableaux. In the grand march Uncle Sam and Columbia were attended by Johnny Bull, who was impersonated by Mr. Mur- ray. 1t was English night, and the tableaux were ““Columbia at the Court of Spain,” which was presented by the ladies of the Brozik booth, Mrs. R. E. White presi- dent; “Scene From the Mikado,” by the ladies of the Sir Arthur Sullivan booth, Mrs. J. M. Dixon president, and a scene from “‘The Termagant” by the ladies of Mrs, Chester Keough's booth. The ladles were assisted by gentlemen who volun- teered their services, This evening the French will celebrate and Mrs. M. A. Cachot, Mrs. Francis Hunt and Mrs. Van der Nallen will have HIS FIRST APPOINTMENT Selects R. H. Ingram to Act as Execu- tive Secretary of the Southern Pacific Company. : The first officlal act of Julius Krutt- schnitt in the administration of Southern Pacific affairs was to appoint R. H.

He accepted the congratulations estly and went about his _business the quiet yet determined manner that has distinguished him in the past. He stated in an interview that he will devote part of his time to the operation of the road and the balance to executive business. He will still retain his offices in the Unjon Trust building, but at cer- tain hours of the day he will use the executive offices. Pl AP S SO DIVORCED WOMAN ENDS HER SORROW WITH GAS Mrs. Cornelia Wentworth! a divorced woman 35 years old, residing at 1915 Geary street, committed suicide last Monday night by inhaling illuminating gas. When her 17-year-old son Lindley Apple left the houge for the purpose of attending night school ‘she aflixed one end of a plece of rubber tubing to a gas fixture, turned the key, lay down on the bed, placed the other end of the tubing in her mouth and thus ended her unhappy life. er son returned home from school shortly after § o'clock and found her dead. He raised an alarm and a physician was hurriedly summoned, but life was extinct. Mrs. Wentworth was divorced several years ago from a man named Apple and resumed her maiden name, Wentworth. Since the divorce she has been very low spirited, and her son says that she twice before attempted suicide, the first time by means of laudanum and the second tifne by the inhalation of illuminating gas. ettt Last Buffalo Excursions.

It was given to Heistand. Hawkes said Heistand suggested to him that he burn the re- mainder of the correspondence, but he did not accede to the proposition.

General Corbin had informed him emphatically that he was not in the company and had nothing to do with it. Hawkes said he made out the Bill, but Corbin never forwarded it. He also sald that in an Interview with Assistant Secretary Allen the latter de- nied emphatically that he had any con- nection with the company. Hawkes said he had numerous interviews with Assist- ant Secretary Meiklejohn, to whom he had presented his claim through the mails. Mr. Meiklejohn had said Heistand ought to pay it Mr. Meiklejohn, he said, also appointed him in the customs service In the ghmpplneu and also promised him promotion.

VENEZLELANS SUFFER DEFEAT WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—The following cablegram was received at the Colombian legation in this city to-night: “BOGOTA, Oct. 1.—Colombian Minister, Washington: We have obtained a signal victory over Venezuelan troops that in- vaded Goajira, under Venezuelan offi- cers, and under the Venezuelan flag, without a previous declaration of war, “(Signed) ABADIA MENDEZ, “Minister of Foreign Affairs.” Soine uncertainty exists in the minds cf the officials of the legation as to whether this victory over the Venezuelans is iden- tieal with that victory heretofore ported via Curacao, in the press d patches, or is the result of another fight. Dr. Silva, the Minister, is inclined to the former opinion. Some stress is laid on the statement that this invasion was without a previous declaration of war on Venezuela’s part. This, Dr. Silva says, shows the irregularity of the course the latter country has taken. Dr. Mendez, who signs_the dispatch, is the new Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, whose appoint- ment followed the Colombian Cabinet crisis reported from Bogota yesterday. Artillery Batteries Taken. A leaflet sent to the legation by the Co- lombian Consul at Curacao gives details of the.recent fight at Curasua, about fif- teen miles from Ric Hacha, on the Goa- jira Peninsula, and which' probably is identical with that referred to by Minis- ter Mendez in his dispatch to Dr. Silva to-day. It shows that the victory over the enemy was complete, the Colomb’ans taking four batteries of artillery, Gatling guns and a_considerable amount of am- munition. General Echeverria, who led a portion of the expedition, the represen- tative says, was killed, contrary to pre- vious advices, which said he had fallen captive into the hands of the Colombians. ‘WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Oet. 1, via Haitien cable.—Advices received Here by mail from Maracaibo under date of September 28 says that Venezuela is rotecting the Goajira frontier by rein- orcements. An expedition composed of about 1500 recruits from Lavela de Coro, on the Gulf of Coro and Merida, with Vincente Sanchez in command, left here to-day for some point near Goajira, whence they will probably move inland toward the frontier. The foregoing covers the facts in the case. Numberless rumors are bein; triously circulated, but a careful weish- ing of all information from various sources leads to the belief that the forces of Davila, with five companions, succeeded in reac!

Clodomir and Juan Castillo, the Colom- bian Liberal leaders, appear to be at Trierta, on the Colombian side of Goa- jira, with followers estimated to number from 500 to men. It is rumored that the forces under Castillo and Davilas’ men, if rescued from their predicament, Y3 POLITICS CAUSE ATTACK Police Chief Sullivan Answers Charges of Father Yorke, [ Gives Some Inside History of Fight Made Against Dr. C. A. Clinton. Chief of Police Sullivan, who has been singled out for attack by Father Yorke, exposes the reasons for the clergyman’s acrimony in an interview. The bitter- ness of the prelate is charged to political disappointment at the time when Dr. Charles A. Clinton was a candidate for renomination as Supervisor. Chief Sullivan's statement lows: ““What I said about Father Yorke be- ing responsible for the riot and battle on Sunday morning in the heart of the city 1 firmly believe. I do not w to injure his reverence, but I honestly think that« the violence of that day is in great mecas- ure due to his utterances. “No good reason exists for the attack Father Yorke has made upon me. Our first relations began when I lent my sup- port to the organization of the League of the Cross Cadets in December, 1863. A. B Maguire and Thomas H. Fallon were the prime movers in the reorganiza- tion of the cadets. The organization was changed at that time from a purely tem- perance society to a quasi military body. Father Yorke gave us his support and assistance in many ways. That is what he evidently means when he says he came to my assistance, for I was heart and soul in the work at that time. “His opposition dates back to the time of the Democratic convention three years ago, when Dr. Clinton's name came up for renomination. I was then the secre- tary of Mayor Phelan. Father Yorke demanded the defeat of Clinton for re- nomination as Supervisor as Phelan had the convention well under control. The Mayor refused as Dr. Clinton had been a good Supervisor and he thought it was due both to the man and the party to allow things to take their regular and just course. Clinton was renominated. The Mayor did not interfere. I know Father Yorke wanted me to use my in- fluence to have Clinton defeated for re- nomination. “At Father Yorke's house, after the election, Mayor Phelan and myself were paying a call and the Clinton matter came up. Father Yorke was very frigid and the visit was not marked by its cordiality.” WILL CONSIDER SALE OF THE PAVILION SITB At a meeting of the board of trustées of the Mechanics' Institute last night Herbert Bashford was elected library as- sistant, vice J. A. Rowell, resigned. Miss M. F. Wiliams, the cataloguer, was given a four months’ leave of absence on ac- count of sickness. Librarlan F. J. Teggart reported the daily average circulation of books last month at 743, the highest average to date. On September 21 there were 463 books is- sued, the largest single day's business in the history of the in: te. The institute's drawing classrooms are to be fitted up with new desks and other appliances designed to make them per- fectly suitable to the needs of the pupils. This evening the members of the insti~ tute will hold a special meeting to deter- mine the matter of selling the Pavilion block to the ety for the Public Library site. is as fol- —_— CONVICTED DENTISTS REMANDED INTO CUSTODY O.
