YENEZUELANS LIKE US.
Two Monuments to be Erected in
Favor of Americans.

Washington, July 1-SenOr Andrade.
Jr., son of the Venezuelan minister, has
returned from a month in Venezuela.
He says the spirit of friendship for the
United States is very marked. The
American colony at Caracas has grown
of late to large proportions and United
States capital is being extensively in
vested.
Among the Americans President
CrespO is much liked and the most cor
dial relations exist between them. The
syndicate of capitalists from this cOun-
try which secured large concessions
along the OrinOcO is pushing its work,
locating plants and assembling ma
chinery at the most desirable points.
The sentiment in the interior is shown
by the determination of Governor An
drade of the state of Miranda to erect
a column at the state capital ON July
4 in honor of the Americans who aided
Venezuela in 1906. The governor is a
brother of the minister here and his
action is in line with that of the gen
eraI government, which will dedicate a
bronze column on July 4 to American
heroes

Chairman Harrity Says the Silver
Men Will Probably Dominate
Chicago Convention.

Pfttsbj1rg, Pa, July National
Chairman Harrity, en- route to Chicago
for the Democratic convention, said the
outlook for a gold standard plank was
not as favorable as heretofore, and
that the silver men would probably
dominate the convention and put their
man in nomination for president. He
added that such a result would make
a hard fight in November.
Whatever the outcome, the PennSyI-
Tania delegation would not bolt, but
would abide by the decision of the con-
vention. He would not say. whether
Robert z. Pattison's name would be
presented before the convention as a
candidate for the presidency, but said
the ex-governor was certainly the
unanimous choice Of RennsyIXania-

BILL CHANDELIERS VIEWS.
Will Work for Mckinley But is OPP
posed to Single Gold Standard.

Concord, N. H, July LIN his news
paper, the Monitor, Senator VIM. Z.
Chandler prints a signed editorial in
dOrsing the nomination of Mckinley
and advocating his election. Referring
to the financial question, the editorial
advocates opposition to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver bullion under
existing conditions by the United States
alone, and moreover, opposes the single
gold standard of money.
Devotion to the double standard is
expressed in these words: The ex-
listing gold standard must be preserved,
if it is so decreed, only until possible
to restore the double standard by inter
national agreement, or by just aEG rea-
sOnable safeguards of United States
legislation. Whenever the choice comes,
if 1t must come, between permanent
acquiescence in the single gold stand
ard and the adoption by the United
States of the single silver standard, the
Monitor and Statesman will not be
found on the side of gold
such a monetary system will every
where tend to make the rich richer and
the poor poorer and will inf1ict grinding
poverty and intense woe upon the great
masses of the helpless mankind all
over the world

STILL ANOTHER SHOW
To Be Provided For the Reun-
ion and Festival.
Artist Geo. Stone and Prof.
Henry WOrrall at Work
On a Diorama to Represent Some
Pretty Scenes, the Subjects of
Which are Not Made
Public.

If Prof WorralI and George Stone,
who have a great part of the fall fes-
tivaI thinking to do, succeed in hav-
ing all their plans carried out, To-
peka will see for the first time an
article on exhibition called a do
rama"
Mighty few Kansas people know
what a diorama is. but they have Prof.
Worralls word for it that it will be
worth seeing.
on Thursday he and Mr.. stone will
go to the fair grounds or some vacant
lot near and figure on the possibility
and cost.
Il have never seen a diorama in this
country" said Prof. WorraH. The
only one I ever saw was in Liver
pool.
In front of the amphitheater, which
would seat several thousand people,
was a pond of clear, clean water
Drawn up on the audience shore was
a NeapOlitan fishing boat, life size
Out in the middle of the pond, which
was no wider than Kansas avenue,
had been placed a small fishing boat,
perhaps not more than two feet IN
length. In it were two figures, and
it was so nicely done that you would
have sworn it was a mile out IN the
bay.
ION the opposite side was the city
of Naples on canvas, SpIendIdIy done
Back of it Wer the hills and mountains
and farther still Vesuvius arose, smoke
and all
ION the farther shore of the lake
We're dozens of boats and shipping.
1.-The pictures were beautiful and
realistic at any time of day. At night
the street lamps of Naples lighted, the
lights in the houses were supplied and
even the light house towers with their
revolving lights were put on, and fire
streamed from Vesuvius' crater.
4 don't know that we will be able
to do all this. but we can do some
thing very like it and it will be new"

POLICE CLUB STRIKERS.
Charge a Crowd of Men and Women
and Break Heads.

Cleveland, O., July For nearly a
month the strike at the works Of the
Brown Hosting and Conveyance COM
pany has continued with frequent at
tacks by strikers upon wOrkmen who
had taken their places.
At 5 o'clock last evening so employees
of the Brown company were marched
from the works, under the escort of so
policemen, to the car tracks on St. Clair
street. A crowd of 1000 men, women
and boys gathered and began hooting
and kissing. Some one in the crowd
threw a big stone, which struck Patrol
man Keidle and cut his head open.
Deputy Chief of Police Mcmahon then
gave a prearranged signal and the
crowd was given a terrible lesson. Forty
policemen swung out into line and the
other forty closed in around the men
they were protecting.
The first forty, under command of
Captain English and Lieutenant Dunn,
charged the crowd with clubs and hit
to break heads. Two rushes up the
street sent the crowd III that direction
flying and left a dozen men lying on
the pavement with bleeding heads.
They scattered the crowd effectually
after splitting the scalp Of one of
them.
