Foreigners Are Well Treated by Both Government and Rebel Troops. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BURBAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Americans and foreigners generally are apparently in no danger of molestation by either | the army or revolutionists in disturbed Venezuela. While the dispatch from Minister Bowen at Caracas, Tecelved at | the State Department to-day, makes no | mention of the reported impending bat- tle between President Castro and the main body of revolutionists now threat- | ening Caracas, it is impertant in that it deals with the blockade and the treat- ment of neutral persons. Bowen says in his cable that he has reliable information that there is no blockade at the ports of Curapano, Cano Colorado and La Guaira, but at Cludad Bolivar the blockade is effective. Bowep says, further, that the Governmeqt troops have shown great courtesy to non-com- batants in the Orinoco region, and that the revolutionists had been equally mag- nanimous at Ciudad Bolivar, where food &upplies are plentiful. Commander Nickels of. the Topeka, now in Venezuelan waters, has cleared up the semi-mystery which surrounded the | condition of affairs at Puerto Cabello. A dispatch received from him two days ago | seemed to indicate that the revolutionists | had taken possession of the town, but such is not the case. The situation there, while the revolutionists are menacing the city, is so quiet that the Topeka has | gone to Curacao. A German war vessel still remains at Puerto Cabello. 2 This dispatch was received at the Navy Department to-day from Commander Nickels: “No; everything is quiet at Puerto Ca~ bello. Will sail to Curacao to-night for coal and supplies. German man-of-war remains here during my absence.” The dispatch bore date of yesterday, and the Topeka was reported from Curacao to-day.

Aged Stableman Accused of Complicity in Atrocious Crime. CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—Oscar Thompson was to-day. held to the Grand Jury by Judge Patton on,the charge .of- having murdered Mrs. Bartholin. At the same time John Claffy, the old stableman, who is better known as “Daddy,” was held as an accessory after the fact to the murder of Minnle Mitchell. Thompson also was held on this charge. Claffy’s bond was fixed at $3000, but the court de- clined to fix a bond for Thompson, as the murder charge on which he waived ex- amination does not permit of accepting| surety for the accused. The two men were taken to the County Jail. No attempt was made to give bond for Claffy, as the primary object of the attorneys acting for him and Thomp- son was to get the prisoners out of the hands of Inspector Hunt and free from his “sweat-box” methods. Shortly before noon Attorney M. W. Meagher appeared before Judge Patton | with & “petition signed = by Jullus| Aagaard, Thompson's employer, for a writ of habeaus corpus. Notice of the application was served on Inspector Hunt immediately with orders .to bring the! prisonersinto court at 2 o'clock. At that hour the Inspector, accompanied by Chief O’'Neill an Lieutenants Wood and Bakus, appeared with the prisoners. As- sistant City Prosecutor Murray, repre- senting the police, informed the court that Inspector Hunt was prepared ‘‘to book the prisoners” and make formal charges against them. On this understanding Meagher.-agreed to withdraw his application for the pris- oners’ release, and said they could” waive examination on the charges filed against them. Prosecutor Murray immediately filed formal charges against Thompson and Claffy, which_ were supported in each case by an affidavit by Joseph D. King, accusing the two men. King is a pa- trolman at the Englewopd station, and he arrested Thompson. “There will be no attempt to give bond for Claffy at this time,” said Meagher. “Our desire was to have him and Thomp- son transferred from the Hyde Park sta- tion to the county so that they will not be subjected to the sweat-box process longer.” AGENT'THOMAS IS CONFIDENT OF A CONVICTION Special Revenue Agent Thomas is con- fident that William H. Dillard, the fugi- tive negro clerk of John C. Lynch, will be convicted of .forging Chinese registra- tion certificates. He says that he has several Chinese witnesses who will swear that they paid Dillard $50 each for the | counterfeit certificates; All are in Dil- | lard's ‘handwriting_and signed with Dil- lard’'s signature. They are sealed with the genuine seal of the office, which was | always in Dillard’s chafge. The photo- graphs on the fraudulent certificates are | of other, persons than those appearing on the originals. The prisoner was the only. person entrusted with the making of the duplicate certificates, and it will be proved that- the fraudulent papers were made on blanks which were lard’'s charge. ept in Dil- | B S OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Change Made in the Postal Service and More New Pensions » Granted. ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The Postoffice Department to-day announced: Postoffice established: Washington—Walker, Walla Walla County, Edward H.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT RECEIVES POPE'S GIFT || His Holiness Sends a Letter and a Beautiful Mosaic to the Executive. /OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. 16.—Bishop 0O’'Gorman of Sioux Falls, S. D., to-day presented to President Roosevelt an auto- graph letter from Pope Leo, together with a beautiful mosaic picture of the Vatican gardens. The letter is in French' and is as follows: _“Mr. President: T am much pleased with the congratulations you addressed to me in your letter of the 9th of May and since in addition to the gobd wishes also expressed through the Governor of the Philippines you have added a pres- enw of your own works, I am doubly grateful. “You, Mr. President, will surely remem- ber the many expressions of good will which I have uttered concerning the United States. Nothing could be to me more agreeable than to assure you of my continued good wishes, espectally at the moment: when the negotiations of Gov- ernor Taft having ended in a satisfactory result for both sides have come tn strengthen ‘the excellent understanding between the church and the United States authorities. ‘““As a token of my satisfaction I have charged Mgr. O'Gorman to bring you a mosaic picture from the workshop of the Vatican, representing our gardens. May I’ ask you to keep it as a souvenir and as an expression of my friendly regard. “LEO XIII : “Rome, the Vatican, July 18, 1902.” + Tracy Gets the Decision. SEATTLE, Aug. 16.—Tracy got the de- cision from Tommy Reilly after twenty rounds of fighting to-night. Reilly did most of the leading, but Tracy was too clever for him, running around the ring when the pace got too hot. The fight was an unsatisfactory one and many thought the worst Reilly could get was a draw, as both men were on their feet and strong at the finish. There was not a mark on either man and at no time in the fight was either in distress. i Under the Name of Strong.

CHOIGE OF ALAMEDR Is Given Indorsement as Candidate ror Gov- ernor, Harmonious Gathering of the Republicans Across the Bay. OAKLAND, Aug. 16.—The Republican county convention to-day was one of har- mony and happiness. There was not a Jar in the gathering from the time that | Clarence Crowell, the chairman of the | Republican . county central committee, called it to order until Dr. C. L. Tisdale of Alameda declared it adjourned. It ‘'was a convention that was noted at once for 1its brev- ity as well as its unanimity, and in the few brief hours that it was in session much was accomplished for the good of the party in Alameda County. The local convention was addressed by George C. Perkins, who is United States Senator, and Dr. George C. Pardes, who expects to be Governor, but while these two leaders of the party were the star crators of the day, Dr. C. L. Tisdale of Alameda held the front of the stage. Dr. Tisdale was called from the ranks of the professionals to be chairman of a politi- cal gatnering. He came from his pllls and potions to wield the 'gavel over a gathering of members of the party of | which he has been a member for many years, and in so doing he made a record for rapid work that surpasses all previous cnes. He handled the hundreds of dele- gates and an equal number of visitors Wwith a promptness and - dispatch that saved many a long and weary speech, and many a harsh and carping criticism. COMMITTEES APPOINTED. The comnivention was called to order by Clarence Crowell, who is chairman of the Republican county central committee, and it took but a very few minutes to elect Dr. Tisdale, the chairman of the day. Dr. Tisdale inaugurated an entirely new feature In Alameda County conventions when he introduced Rev. Alfred Balley, who offered a prayer for the work of the convention. Dr. Bailey is the pastor of the Fourth Congregational Church and he asked a blessing upon the work of the delegates before, whom he appeared. Dr. Tisdale made a few happy remarks ;m\l then appointed committees as fol- ows: Order of business—Charles E. Snook, Fiftieth District; T. W. Harris, Forty-sixth District; J. B. Lanktres.

PARDEE DELIVERS ADDRESS. ‘While the committees were at work Dr. George- C. Pardee made his appearance in the convention hall. As soon as the Alameda County candidate for Governor arrived there were grolonged cheers, and the delegates waved hats and handker- chiefs as a welcome to ‘their leader. Dr. Pardee was called upon for an address. He sald: \ It is with the deepest sense of pleasure that I appear before a convention of my friends, Wwhom I have known from childhood, I would rather ‘appear before my friends, from whom L gathering of members 0f my party, and this reception is a source of very great pleasure to me. Alam County has often been an appli- cant for honors before a convention of the Re- publicans of the State, but this county has never been granted the place that she has re- 1 have- reason gation wifl return from the State capital with the coveted position at the head of the State ticket. Instead of waiting until after the lunch | hour, the committees were asked to re- rt at once, leaving thé afternoon free | or nominations. The work of the com- mittees upon . credentials and order of was entirely perfunctory, but the committee upon platform has this to say in regard to State and national is- sues: Resolved, That we hereby pledge our candi- dates for the State Legislature to approve the charter for any city or county when the same has been favorably passed upon by the voters of the cify or county for which the same is intended. Resolved, That no territory over which the American flag now floats shall be relinquished. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves and our representatives to a loyal support of our com- mon schools and our State University. TO FOSTER FACTORIES. ‘Whereas, The-bullding up of the manufac- turing interests of our city and State is greatly to be desired, and as a means to that end we belleve that {ncorporated cities should have the right to encourage, foster and draw to their nildst manufacturing enterprises by exempting from municipal taxation for a specified term.of years; therefore be it. Resolved, That we request our representatives to_advocate the ameridment of our State consti- tution in such a manner that the desired ex- emption from taxation may.be secured. ‘Whereas, Representatives of Eastern commer- clal and manufacturing concerns, by. reason of thelr exemption from license taxation have a decided adyantage over those of our own State similarly engaged; therefore be it Resolved, That we urge our representatives to the enactment of such laws as will put the products and manufactures of California on the same footing as the products and manu- factures of othef. States “when sold:m this ate. Resolved, That the Republican party of Ala- meda County in convention assembled does hereby indorse the principle that etght hours is a fair day's work for the laboring man, whether engaged on publit or private work, and hereby ! pledge the Republican party to co-operate in firmly establishing this proposition in the laws of_the Jand. We indorse the solendid citizenship of Ala- meda County’s favorite son, the Hon. George C. Pardee, He is the gift of our county to the Republican party of the State and is worthy of the highest preferment. This convention notes the fact that the delegation to the State convention {s unanimous for the nomination of the Hon. George C. Pardee for Governor and was eelected without a contest, so overwhelm- ing is the -sentiment of the Republicans of Alameda County. in favor of his nomination. We call the attention of all the Republicans of California, whether of not they be delegates to the State convention, to these facts, and to the fact that Alameda County, which has always been relied upon’ by the party for a great Re- publican majority in the past and the county is more Republican than' ever, and now respect- fully presents its clalm to the Republicans of the State for the nomination of Governor, bas- ing its claim upon its past record and upon the fact of its great Republican strength and. the ct that it presents for the gubernatorial riom- ination a candidate without a peer, one who it | nominated ‘would -assuredly .lead the State ticket to an overwhelming victory and also the county tickets in many of the doubtful coun- ties. 4 DECLARES FOR PARDEE. ‘Whereas, At a primary election held the 12th day of August, A.

Artillery Will Be Improve by Herr Erhardt’s In- vention. BERLIN, Aug. 16.—The United States War Department has bought of Herr Erhardt, a gunmaker of Dusseldorf, the right to rearm the American fleld til- lery with Herr Erhardt’s new piece. Cap- tain Henry D. Borup of the United States ordnance department is mow at Dussel- dort on this business—probably to learn thoroughly how the gun is constructed. Besides the large works at Dusseldorf, Erhardt has a branch at Eisenach. He sold to the British Government several hundred pieces after experience in South Africa had demonstrated the inferiority of the British artillery. ‘The gun which the United States has acquired the rights to use Is understood to be an improvement on the model sup- plied to Great Britain, being lighter and of longer range. The United States ord- nance officers have long compiained that their fleld guns were less effective than the French and German guns. The Unit- ed States ordnance department learned some time ago that the Krupps had a new light model, and they were invited to exhibit the plece to United States ordnance experts; but the Krupps - de- clined, giving as their reason that if they demonstrated that they had the best plece in the world there was no certain- ty that the United States would take it. Herr Krupp recently made a gun of ex- actly the same bore as a certain best American type, but considerably lighter, and tested it a few. days ago, throwing shrapnel effectively yards, against the American gun's 2900 yards. Erhardt established flve years ago a branch at Pittsburg, Pa., for the manu- facture of cartridges and shells, but, it being unprofitable, it was closed, and he brought the machinery back to Germany.
