It was only a few hours after the

sulate, had taken passage for Porto
Cabello on fhe steamer Maracaibo.
The steamer arrived at six o'clock
Monday evening, and the consul board
ed her and proceeded for Venezuela.
The population of the island is quite
calm. The troops have been withdrawn

Venezuelan resident and the demon
stration before the residence of the
Venezuelan consul.
As Consul Lopez was going from his
residence at noon to the consulate, es
corted by armed troops to remove the
official papers, the mob nearly caught
him, but he was saved by the arrival
of more troops.

steamer Maracaibo by the attorney
general. They were not molested. A
Strong armed force took the consul on
board the steamer, which was guarded
by troops tip to the momnit of her

possible protection was accorded the
consul by the Wlllemstad authorities,
and with the exception of a few insig
nificant bruises caused by stones
thrown at him he was not harmed.

festation Monday night to the leaders
of the demonstration, at which sev
eral speeches were delivered.

CONSULS VEXED DAVILA
EXEQUATURS CF DIPLOMATS AT
CEIBA CANCELLED.
President of Honduras Displeased Be
cause They Intervened in Bhalf
of Non-Combatants.
Washington. July 2U. Mi-cause they
intervened in behalf of the non com
batants, the consular repi esentati ves
of various gi eminent s at Ceiha have
incurred the displeasure of President
liavila of Honduras and he has can
celled their exeijtiat urs.
The activity of the consuls occurred
Just preceding the revolutionary at
tack upon Ceiha about ten days ago,
when the nolutionlstg were repulsed
by the government troops. Information
of the cancelling of the exequaturs
reached the state department Tuesday
from American Consul Drew Iinard at
Ceiba. He has been asked by the de
partment to send by cable a full state
ment of the facts leading up to the
action taken by President Davila. Fu
ture action of the department may de
pend upon his reply.
It is a well settled principle of in
ternational practice that a government
may refuse to issue an exequatur to
any person appointed to a consular po
sition, and also to cancel an exequa
tur after it is granted, for good rea
sons. This privilege has been exer
cised byhe government on more than
cne occasion.
Puerto Cortez, Honduras, via New
Orleans, La., July 2!). A detachment
of soldiers was sent from here to
Ceiba. It is reported that the revolu
tionists who attacked Porvenir and
who threatened Ceiba are now in re
treat and being pursued by govern
ment forces. At Gracias, one of the
first towns to participate in the pres
ent uprisings, 49 alleged revolutionists
are now under trial by court-martial.
I is reported that some of them have
testified to the existence of a general
plot against President Davila's gov
ernment. They implicated in this plot
some of the persons arrested a week
before the outbreak of fighting, and
whose prompt arrest is believed to
have defeated the revolutionary move
ment. SULTAN TAKES THE OATH.
Swears to Uphold the New Constitu
tion of TurKey.
Constantinople, July 29. In the
presence of the Sheik UI Islam, the
head of the hierarchy in Turkey, the

As the result of a long meeting of
the council of ministers, Hamdy Bey,
who was recently appointed minister
of police, has been dismissed. Meh
med Abl has been appointed governor
of Pera and other changes are contem
plated. Hamdy Bey's removal had been
demanded by the reformers. It is re
ported that Izzet Pasha, secretary to
the sultan, whose dismissal also was
demanded, has fled to Syria.

ATTEMPT TO FOIST HIM ON IN
DEPENDENCE CONVENTION.
SPEAKER IS THREATENED
Howird, Hisgen and Others Put For
ward for Presidential Nomina
tion Platform Adopted
After Dispute.
Chicago, July 29. The Independence
party Tuesday adopted Its platform
and perfected its temporary organiza
tion. At night it proceeded to the
nomination of a presidential ticket.
After the names of several candi
dates had been presented, a delegate
from Kansas tried to nominate Wil-
: liam J. Bryan. The convention be
came wotous at once. Hisses, howls
and abuse filled the hall and several
times the speaker was threatened
with personal violence.
The first name presented was that
of Milford W. Howard of Alabama,
who was put in nomination by Dr. L.
A. Fealey.
Demonstration for Hisgen.
Rev. Roland D. Sawyer of Massa
chusetts nominated Thomas L. His
gen. The conclusion of Mr. Sawyer's
speech was the signal for a yell from
the Massachusetts seats in which
California delegates and a few from
Minnesota and South Dakota joined.
Two women in the center box of the
first balcony jumped to their feet and
urged the men to greater efforts. A
big banner bearing Hisgen's portrait
was brought to the platform, where it
was joined by the California state flag.
After two minutes Chairman Walsh
began rapping for order. The Minne
sota standard was put in the proces
sion, then Illinois, Washington and
Nebraska. Three minutes later the
demonstration had subsided.
Next Bernard Sutler of Atlanta, Ga.,
presented the name of John Temple
Graves, making an able, lively speech.
Storm of Hisses for Bryan.
The roll call then progressed until
Kansas was reached. J. I. Shepard of
that state asked the chairman if it
was possible to vote for any candidate
for the nomination who was not a
member of the party. The reply was
that the question had not yet arisen,
whereupon Mr. Shepard took the plat
form, announcing that he had a candi
date. He mentioned the "candidate of the
Democratic party" and a storm of
hisses and boos greeted the reference.
The hall continued in an uproar for
seveial minufes, the galleries persist
ing in breaking into the proceedings
with jeers and irrelevant remarks.
Mr. Shepard was finally allowed to
proceed. He had spoken but a few
minutes when the delegates broke in
upon him. Charles H. Mitchell of Illi
nois offered a point of order saying
that it was evident that the speaker
was about to place in nomination a
man who was not a member of the In
dependence party. He therefore asked
that the convention proceed to name
a candidate of its own.
Try to Attack the Speaker.
A scene of riot immediately fol
lowed, several delegates attempting to
reach the rostrum for the purpose of
offering physical violence to the
speaker. A number of the sergeants-at-arms
threw themselves across the
aisle in front of the rostrnm steps and
held back the Infuriated men by sheer
physical strength.
Mr. Mitchell persisted, however, in
asking If Shepard intended to nom
inate a man who was not a member of
the Independence party. He insisted
upon a categorical answer and Chair
man Walsh said:
"The gentleman will answer the
question."
"Of couj-se I don't want to deceive
you," sard Mr. Shepard. "I intend, if
I am allowed to finish, to nominate Mr.
William J. Bryan."
The hall broke into a wild uproar, a
dozen delegates again madly strug
gling in the main aisle in an attempt
to reach Mr. Shepard.
Dispute Over Platform.
But little work was accomplished at
the first session because of a protract
ed debate among the members cf the
resolutions committee on the question
of how the currency plank should be
expressed. The tentative draft of this
plank provided for the issuance of all
moneys by the government. The plat
form as presented to the convention
demanded the creation of a central
governmental bank through which the
currency should pass to the people.
The feature of a central bank was
strongly distasteful to several mem
bers of the committee, some of whom
declared that they had left the Re
publican party because of its adher
ence to this principle, and If the In
dependence party was going to advo
cate the same doctrine they might as
well return to their original faith.
The platform, however, was accept
ed by the convention wjth demonstra
tions of enthusiasm, and the utter
ances of the party as expressed there
In were unanimously indorsed.
Warrant for a Banker's Arrest.
Mattoon, 111., July 29. A warrant
was issued Tuesday for H. W. Riley,
president of the Bank of Allenville,
which closed its doors. Mr. Riley
lives at Toledo, 111.
Desperadoes 'Steal $40,000.
Tiraspol, Russia, July 29. A band

the office of the cashier at the loca'
railroad station and got away with
$40,000.

Another di.sh of hash like thia in town!"
Preserved Peaches.
Put the peaches in boiling water for
a few minutes so the skin will come
off easily. Make a syrup of a half-pound
of sugar and half cup of water for
each pound of the fruit. Boil until ten
der, but no longer, as they will then
become mushy. Fill the jars with the
hot fruit. Remove the syrup from fire,
and add a gill of brandy to each pound
of peaches. Pour over the fruit and
seal the cans tight These will keep
well as the brandy helps to preserve
them.
Fried Salt Pork.
This Is a way to prepare ordinary
salt pork so it will taste nearly as
good as the finest bacon: Cut in thin
slices and let it lie In cold water an
hour or two. (This will freshen it and
remove some salt.) Roll in flour and
let fry till crisp. Drain most of the
grease from the pan and stir Into the
remainder one tablespoon flour, one
cup Bweet milk, and a little pepper.
When it thickens and cooks sufficient
ly, pour over the hot pork. Serve
with parsley.
The Crumb Cloth.
The old-fashioned Idea of the crumb
cloth is an excellent one and it is a
pity that we of the present day have
abandoned it. The crumb cloth was
of some cheap damask or linen like
the heavier table linen or toweling.
They were perhaps, a square foot larg
er than the table, and were placed un
der it, and over the rug. After each
meal the ends were lifted and the
crumbs shaken to the center where
they were out of danger of being trod
den into the rug. There they could
be gathered up at leisure.
A COOK FOR REUBEN.
EL'BEN, Reuben, I've been
thinking.
Who would get the
meals for thee?
If the men were all
transported
Far beyond the north
ern sea?"
"Rachel. Rachel. I've
been thinking.
That, in spite of all thy
care.
We would get on very
nicely.
Eating lots of caviare."
"Reuben, who'll prepare
the blubber?
Who will trim the lamp
just right?
Get thy moccasins all
ready
For the long, long Arctic night?"
"We'd take salmon, and we'd dry it.
Eat it when in seal oil swimmin',
Rachel, verily I'll try it.
We could do without ye women."
"Reuben, Reuben. I'd best follow.
Men need cooks, where'er they go:
And I fear, ye soon would find a
Wife among the Eskimo.'
Chinese Breakfast Food.
There Is growing along the coast
of China a soft, sweetish seaweed
which serves a variety of purposes,
but which the people use chiefly in
soup. It has, however, several uses:
As a barometer it is valuable, varying
in moisture as the temperature
changes; as a mat for the table; as
draperies everything finally wind
ing up in soup which is invariably
served for breakfast.
Cherry Salad.
When cherries are in season they
are very pretty in salads. Remove the
pit, refill the hollow with a piece of
nut meat. Serve on lettuce with
mayonnaise. Or fill an apple cup with
mixed cherries and nuts. The apples
will preserve their color and freshness
if kept in water.
Prunes.
This dish should be regarded as a
medicine, and eaten whether we like
It or not. Prunes are excellent in cases
"of indigestion, torpid liver, etc. To In
duce the family to eat them often fix
thetn In a variety of ways chopped
fine and smothered in whipped cream;
in the bread pudding Instead of rais
ins; raw, with nut kernels Inside and
sprinkled with sugar. All these ways
are good and wholesome.
A damp napkin around Vhe sand
wiches will not only keep them fresh,
but Improve them, allowing the fflling
to flavor the whole. Always keep a
clean old napkin or linen cloth handy,
and make the saadwiches Bome time
before your guests arrive to save that
last-minute flurry.
