ffESTAURADORSALUTES FLAG
lupleaaant laeldent with Veneiaela
la (talckljr Brought to a Sat
isfactory Conclusion.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacoa, Sept.
15. Details have been received here of the
(losing of the Incident arising from the
action of ths Venezuleatt warship Restaur
ador In hoisting the American flag, ap
proaching Cludad Bolivar, under those
colora. and then opening fire on the town.
It waa through United States Consul
Goldachmldt. at La Guayra, that the newa
was transmitted to Minister Bowen at
Caracas, and the lattsr, after obtaining
confirmation of the report, called on the
foreign minister, Senor Lopes Baralt, pre
sented ths rate to him and obtained hi
promises tbat aatlafactton would be ac
corded by Venezuela after the matter had
been investigated by the Venesuela authori
ties.1 About sixteen hours later the govern
ment of Veuesuela through the foreign
minister expressed Us regret at the occur
rence and orders were forwarded to the
commander of Restaurador to hoist
ths .'American., nag and salute it. At 5
o'clock Thursday the foreign warships at
anchor off LaGuayre were surprised, the
whole matter having been kept secret, to
see Restaurador hoist the stars and
.stripes and then fire a salute of twenty
one guns.
Never before baa the Veneiuelan govern
ment acted so promptly and ao satisfactor
ily, as the result of diplomatic reprs
eeptatlons, and it emphasises Veneiuela'a
Oslre to maintain the moat friendly re
lations with the United States.
The Americans at Caracas are praising
Bowetytor so quickly bringing about a set
tlement of the affair, which at one time
promised to assume serious phase.

BUYING COAL IN ENGLAND
American Demand for Anthracite on
the Other Side of the Allan
tie Remains Good.
LONDON, S-pt. 25. "The American de
mand for anthracite coal continues good,
but up to date wc have not made much
from It and tho English consumer has been
getting all the worst of the situation."
This statement has been made to a repre
sentative of the Associated Press by tho
most prominent anthracite operator on the
Coal exchange.
"What I may call an abnormal American
demand has been felt for about a month
past." he continued. " .have had a
stiady trade with Cana' ', t Pacific
coast and the statement, ''-'Vv7 'arge
shipments to Portland k 'v " he
English press means to Port In.
this Is only our regular trade. v.
normal shipments to date total about
ft
'
'
tons, of which our firm has sent all t.
a thousand or so. I know my estimate Is
accurate. We are slow, I confers, in taking
advantage of the American demand. All
the orders thua far filled have been" Just
at about the normal price, but free on
board. Quotations at Swansea advanced
during the past wee': on Inauirles for
35,000 tons more. The Americans have
been reluctant to pay the advanced price
of 50 cents.
"The people who are really suffering from
the boom are the English consumers, be
cause the retailers sharply advanced prices
coincident with the boom In the export
trade. As the case stands, dealers sre un
able to fill all their orders on account of
the miners' union.
"We could double the output of the
collieries without Increasing the force, but
the union regulations forbid the miners
from increasing the dally output. We ex
pect the American demand to continue for
some time."
TOWER IS T0G0 TO BERLIN
Present Amhaasador to Russia Cboaen
to Succeed Mr. White, Who
Has Resigned.
BERLIN, Sept. 25. President Roosevelt
has chosen Charlemagne Tower, ambassador
to Russia, to aucceed Mr. White as am
bassador to Germany. Notifications of this
decision and that Mr. White's letters of re
call had been issued by the State depart
ment have reached the Foreign 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 hint to one or two of hla friends
that he might be transferred to thia court.
Mr. White will probably not have his
farewell audience of the emperor on No
vember 7, his birthday, as had been pro
visionally arranged, because hla majeaty
leaves November 6 for England. The re
tiring ambassador, therefore. Is not likely
to present his letters of recall until about
the middle of November.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. The appoint
ment of Charlemagne Tower aa ambas
sador to Germany to succeed Mr. White
Is confirmed here. It is likely that offi
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 la held now
by him. It la regarded aa quite likely that
he will In turn be aucceeded by Hon. Bel
lamy Storer, present ambassador to the
court of Madrid. It is latlmated 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 B re men and
Ilamfrursr Vote to Open Fron
tiers to Live Stock.
BERLIN. Sept. 25. The legislative as
semblies of Bremen and Hamburg have vot
ed by large majorities In favor of open
ing the frontiers to foreign live stock- A
long list of cities previously took the same
action. The executive committee of the
National Butchers' association, answering
an agrarian circular denying tbat there la
a meat scarcity, points out that the swine
slaughterings have declined 20 per cent In
two years, and that prlcea have risen 30
per cent. ,
Pacts like these place the government in
an awkward position. They strengthen the
government In resisting the agrarian de
mands, but the government is, unable to
uae 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 Pobllelskl, Trusilsn minister of agri
culture, saying the high prices are merely
an annual occurrence, while anlma'a are
waiting for the potato crop for fattening
purposes. The socialists are making capi
tal from the eltutaton.
The Voerwaerts devotes several columns
a day to a keen observation of the causes
of the meat scarcity, and attributes the
principal reason therefor to the inability
of farmers to supply the home market.
At Btuttgart today a proposition made by
the socialists that the city council abolish
the tax levied at the city gatea on meata
was rejected.
BEGINS TO ATTRACT NOTICE
French Newspapers Are Paylnsi More
Attention to the Xote of Sec
retary Hay.
PARIS, 8ept. 25. Secretary Hay's note
to the powers on the subject of Roumanla'a
treatment of Jewa, of which slight notice
waa at flrn taken, under the Impression
tbat It would lead to nothing, is now at
trading more attention In the French press
and In omcial circles here.
It Is practically certain tbat the Frepch
government will support a movement ampng
the powera to put pressure on Roumanla In
tavor of better treatment of the Jews, and
It Is believed Germany will take a almlla
attitude. While It is thought the United
States will thus be successful la stirring
the powers iuto seriously considering the
matter, and that remonstrances may be ad
dressed to Roumanla, not much hope Is ex
pressed In practical and permanent effect
within Roumanla from such action.
A aeml-offlctal agency today circulated
the following announcement:
The French government has not yet re
plied to Berretary lUy't note. While It Is
Impossible to forecast M Delcawe's d

is that while recognising the high motive
which actuated air. Hay. M Deltas will

VISITORS NOT ADMITTED FOR PRESENT

Condition la Not Hoarded aa
In Any Hespeet Serious.
WASHINGTON. dept. 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'Reilly, sur
?eon aeneral of the armv. and Dr. Lun
-
': an examination of the wound and re-
J " ,nat 11 ln a aatlsfactory condl
ey expect the Inflammation to be
k yed without complication. Absoluts
qui..- aas been enjoined upon their distin
guished pstient.
There was a slight rise In the president's
temperature last night after he reached
the temporary White House. This waa at
tributable to the excitement incident to his
removal from the train, and waa regarded
aa entirely natural ln thfr circumstances
The president Is In excellent spirits, but
has acquiesced ln the decision of his phy
sicians 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 the
public should be Informed fully concerning
his condition, but there Is a natural an
tipathy against the Issue of bulletins lest
the gravity of the wound might be magni
fied. It Is not unlikely, however, that Sec
retary Cortelycu occasionally may Issue au
official statement, If for no other reason
than to silence disquieting rumors. Possi
ble complications can arise only if it should
later develop that the bone of the leg la
injured, a contingency not now anticipated.
The president did not leave bis bed this
morning, but sat up and reed a book. Sec
retaries Shaw, Wilson and Hitchcock found
him reading when they called. They said
he looked aa hale and hearty aa he ever
did. Secretaries Shaw and Wilson returned
only this morning from Chicago, where they
were to have met the president.
Sits ip In the Bed.
Throughout the day the president re
mained sitting up in bed, interesting him
self with a book or chatting with Mm.
Roosevelt, except when directing the dis
position of some matter regarded as press
ing enough to bring to hla attention. Littls
business will be laid before him, but there
are several matters, including some pending
diplomatlo appointments, which probably
will be attended to shortly.
Secretary Cortelyou during the day trane-
acted much routine bualness.
Only a tew of the foreign diplomats are
in the city, but those here called personally
to Inquire after the presldent'a condition.
Among the first to arrive was the Japaneso
minister, Mr. Takahlra. There were also a
number of other distinguished callers, in
cluding General Jamea Longitreet,
Secretary Moody ,waa admitted W the
president's bed room about noon abd ' re
mained with htm for some time. The sec
retary made a passing reference to the sit
uation ln South American waters. "I did
not desire to trouble the president with
official bualness," said he, "although he la
aa able at present td consider such mat
ters as he ever was. He la like a man suf
fering from a aprained 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 Rlxey came over from vhe 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 hla condition.
The slight rise In temperature noted dur
ing the night had disappeared. The doc
tors aay 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
Commission Takes Much Testimony
from All Sorts of People
at Honolulu.
HONOLULU, Sept. 15. (Via San Fran
cisco, Sept. 26.) The senatorial 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 Hawaii,
resuming the taking of testimony in Hono
lulu on September 22. The commission has
heard testimony on the wldeat 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
ties. The principal persons heard on this
aubject were Attorney General Dole, Dr.
Blogget, the prealdent of the board of
health, and W. O. Smith, formerly attor
ney general.
The Planters' association presented a me
morial urging that congresa modify the
Chinese exclusion act so aa to permit the
Introduction of a limited number of Chi
nese laborers, to be employed for limited
periods In plantation work exclusively. They
argue that white labor cannot be secured
for this class of labor and that by allowing
Chinese to be brought In for It alone, the
general industries of the territory will be
so well built up as to furnish abundant
and remunerative employment ln more con
genial industries to many white men. It
la pointed out that the Pacific coast of the
main land la vitally Interested In the pros
perity of the islands, as the Pacific coaat
commerce with the Island exceeds Its other
transpacific commerce.
A wireleaa telegram received from the
volcano , of Kilauea atates that renewed

DEPARTMENT OF THE COLUMBIA
Mnch Work Is Needed to Brlnr Bar.
racks and Other Bnlldlncs
Out of Decay.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25 Brigadier Gen
eral George M. Rauditil, iu his annual re
port on military affairs In the department
of the Columbia, remark the fact that the
department has been without a commander
at the headquarters for several years. He
says this haa resulted in neglect of bulld
Inga and grounds with a deterioration and
loss to the government. At Vancouver, the
department 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.
Repair are necessary at Hor(t Walla Walla.
General Randall suggested the. Wvlssbllity
of deferring any action, looking to the
abandonment of Boise barracks. He thinks
that Fort Wright, because It fa nearer the
railroad 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 difficulty in
obtaining a water supply for Fort Stevens,
and suggests a pipe line to Lewis 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 failed to work
since last November, and a contract haa
been made for a wireless system.
The Inspector general of the department
la quoted as aaylng that the work of the
army In Alaska haa been harder than ever,
and that troops sometimes have been at
work when the thermometer has been 30
degree below sero.
General Randall recommends the estab
lishment of a depot of supplies at Seattle,
and that that city be made the home port
of transports plying between Seattle and
Alaska.

American atandpoiut exceptional courtesy
has been shown Mr. Baer by the State de
partment and as he Is the first consul from
the United 8tates accredited to the republic
of Cuba, with atatlon at Clenfuegos, he goes

formed aa to conditione than Is usual with
the Department of State. As Clenfuegos is
the next poet of Importance to Havana, Con
sul Baer will be called upon to pass upon
many questions he has not met with here
tofore ln his diplomatic career, especially
questions affecting seamen and their rights
and hia ability aa a Judlclally-mlnded officer
will be tested. The consulate will be fur
nished throughout by American-made goods
and as the consul has not been restricted In

CONVENTION INTERPRETS TARIFF PLANK
Insists that it Does ot Mean Any
Abandonment of ti.e Principle
of Protection for Amer
ican Labor.
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
HAMPTON, la.. Sept. 25. The repub
lican congressional convention for the Third
district today resulted In the nomination
of Judge B. P. Blrdsall of Eagle Grove,
Wright county, on the third ballot.
The convention was railed to order by
Don. C. Olasser of Dubuque and John C.
Crockett of Eldora was made chairman.
The committee of notification appointed by
the same convention In May made a formal
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 candldatea were formally
presented: Bremer county. Burton K.
Sweet; Buchanan, C. E. Ransler; Butler,
M. F. Edwards. Wright, E. P. Blrdsall.
The first ballot resulted: Sweet, 23;
Blrdsall. 39; Edwards. 18; Ransler. 34.
On the aecond ballot Blrdsall got 51.
On the third ballot Blrdsall got 88, Ran
sler 38 and Sweet 1. Dubuque county went
soldldly for Blrdsall. Before the announce
ment was made the nomination was made
unanimous on motion of Buchanan county.
Judge Blrdsall appeared before the con
vention and made a speech, In which he
declared he stood by the Iowa platform
and the party in hla district. He is a
lawyer 55 years old, a large, handaome man,
ajle to make a good speech and he will
prove a good candidate. He resigned from
the bench a few yeara ago on account of
111 health and has taken little part In state
politics. His nomination suits all factions.
Borne of the leaders opposed any com
mittee on resolutions, but the Dubuque
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 dlBtrlct of Iowa,
heartily endorse the platform of principles
adopted by the late republican state con
vention at lies Moines. We deny that the
Dlngley tariff breeds and shelters trusts.
We Interpret the tariff plank In the Des
Moines platform of 1902 to be merely a reit
eration of and to mean no more than the
St. Lou!" plnnlr of im which recited; "We
are not pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rates is a practical ques
tion to be governed by the conditions of
the times and of production. The ruling
and uncompromising principle Is the pro
tection and development of American labor
and Industry."
We cordially recognlre and earnestly
commend the patriotic fervor of President
Roosevelt, ana 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 reRret the declination
of the renominatlon which the republicans
of this district for the eleventh time unani
mously tendered the Hon. D. B. Hender
son. No official haa-boen more anxious to
keep In touch with and faithfully 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
ln his personal and political integrity; we
are conscious of his great mental power
and ability; we reallre his superb leader
snip and commanding Influence in govern
mental affairs and believe that hla with

Even Mention the Kanaaa City
Confession of Faith.
$
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Bept. 25. The dem
orratlc 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 waa as follows: Governor, Melbert
B. Cary, Rldgefield; lieutenant governor. E.
Kent Hubbard, Jr., Mlddletown; secretary
of atate, Arthur B. Calkins. Old Lyme;
treasurer, Philip Hugo, New Haven; comp
troller. Edward O. Kllduff, Waterbury; at
torney general. Noble E. Pierce, Bristol;
rongressman-at-large. Homer S. Cummlngs,
Stamford.
The platform occasioned a heated debate
in the committee room, but once presented
to the convention, as recommended by the
committee, it waa adopted without debate.
A strenuous struggle bad been made In
committee for the endorsement of the Kan
sas City platform, and one delegate left
the committee ln 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 Kanaas 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 only
one that needed a ballot, the others all go
ing through by acclamation.
