Cdracoa, W. I., Aug. 2. News has
been received here from au apparently
trustworthy Bourco in Venezuela that
Crespo is now in charge of that country.
The revolutionary leader kept up a
steady advance toword the capital. The
government troops concluded they were
unable to stand an attack and so evacu
ated the city, leaving the victorious
leader of the Legalists in full possession
The situation in Caracas is reported
as strained to the utmost limit by the
condition of the struggle for the presi-
deifcy, and the most extreme bitterness
prevails. Dr. Paul seems to be in the
lead, 'but the government reactionists,
under the inspiration of Guzman Blanco,
are gaming strength daily.
General Sania threatens to proclaim u
now revolution in case of the election of
Paul, and Crespo will unquestionably
recommence hostilities at once in ca.ce
of the election of Sania, which 5he re
gards as the establishment of theGnz
xnanistic sway. It is stated that a con
ference will be held in Caracas skordy
between the Crespists and the leaders of
other factions to see if the basis of :iu
arrangement for the permanent suspen
aion of hostilities and a satisfactory it
organization of the government can Ik
agreed on. There is no improvement v
the condition of affairs throughout tin
country. Business is paralyzed au
famine reigns.

Objected to Ford.
Chicago, Aug. 2. Chairman Cald
well of the Western Passenger associa
tion has caused considerable surprise
among railroad men by refusing to ac
cept A. E. Ford, general passenger
agent oihe Pennsylvania lines, as arbi
trator in the Atchison's appeal from his
rulings. The Atchison took an appeal
an two cases. One was from the chair
man's decision denying that it was
justified in making a $12 rate to Denver
and return on acconnt of the Knight
Templar conclave. Tho other was from
the ruling and actions of the chairman
in authorizing a one way rate of $12 to
Denver and mtermediate points and the
alleged conspiracy by which the Atchi
son was deprived of its rights under the
agreement.
"In both of these appeals to arbitra
tion the Atc'iison nominated E. A. Ford
for one of tbfl arbitrators and asked trie
chairman to name his choice for an
other. The rules provide in such csss
that each sid shall choose one arbitra
tor and tho two thus chosen Bhall selnr-fc
the third. Same of Chairman Cal l
well's friends are afraid that he unn----essarily
aggravated the situation in ob
jecting to Ford as an arbitrator and arc
of the opinion that no board of arbitrati"u
will sustain his objection. Tho contro
versy has now reached a stage that is re
garded as serious, and only a change of
tactics on the part of some of those wh .
have been fanning the flames wi
save the W.tern Passenger associa! L
from disruption.

rope to the limb and about his neck, and
then saturated a handkerchief with
chloroform and held it to his nose until

tree. The man was a stranger here and

which to id.ntify him.
