season was most tiatlering and the
entire English press were unanimous
in pronouncing it the best comedy
they had seen in years The play
goers of this country are familiar
with Geo. H Hurst's unique styleNQf
writing and when the claim is made
that 1.-The Wrong Mr.. Wright is
superior as laugh meter to What

arouse unusual interest 1t abounds
In skillfully organized confusion,
ludicrous complications and uproar-

the fun making of course falls upon
the shoulders of Mr.. Beressord, and

enter at once or the work OF harmonizIng
and recognizing the party throughout the
State. Although il owes it's origin 10 the
f~actious course pursued by the Governor IT
does not make any open declaration of war
against him. Following Is part OF a state
ment issued by It:
The Wisconsin Republican League has
fer it's object the unihcation and preserva-
ton Of the Republican party OF WISCONSIN,
and IL has been organized upon a OASIS sur
fciently comprehensive and lasting 10 &C
complish that object. It's founders are mem
bers OF the Legislature of 1901, whose crosse
touch with the affairs OF state has enapieS
them to see and apprehend dangers Wnlch
threaten the Republican party, ana IL Is an
exceedingly significant fact that a majority
OF the Republican members OF each HOUSE,
nave Endorsed its purposes
The league is not a temporary organlza-
ton for the purpose OF a single campaign,
but is 10 be a permanent institution wncn
having first unified the party viii LABOR
from year to year 10 keep 1t united against
the common enemy. IL recognizes the great
need OF a thorough organization at the
present time, and IL Will strive TO give the
rarty such an organization as II has not
yet had. II appreciates the magnitude OF
its undertaking. 1t will increasingly bend
its efforts to accomplish that work.
The position of the league is not pri-
marily in opposition to one faction or In the
interest of another; 1T is not seeking 10 oe-
feat one set Of men or elevate another. III
the organization leads TO the defeat OF one
man and the promotion of another his de-
feat or promotion must be regarded as but
incident to the main purpose of solidifying
the party. Without fear or favor, regard
less of the ambitions of individuals. looking
solely 10 its chief object, 1t will strive for
the best interests of the whole party and
the welfare or the people.
Although the fight in Wisconsin Is a
factionai one growing out of State issues. it
IS of interest to Republicans everywhere
because of its possible influence in the next
national election. Its lesson is that no
party is ever strong enough to divide. and
that no man should try to be bigger than
his party.

VIENNA, Aug. 2o.-The Neue Freie

pears to be developing into an international
question which 1t will not be asy TO solve.
The United States is most Immediately in
terested in this conflict, which, without a
formal declaration of war. has already
given rise TO %sanguinary encounters. On
account OF the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
which Americans would so much like to
tear to shreds. England has also a word TO
say regarding events in Central America.
The North American Union, acting on the
eXpansible Monroe doctrine, regards the
universal economic question of a cana
across the Central American isthmus as a
specific American question. The plan OF
a greater Colombian republic has little
prospect of success. 1t will no longer fit
with the Americans Monroe programme.

lies will silence their own personal ambi-

developments which may prove ominous to
both republics"

AGAINST PLOW COMPANY
SUIT TO PREVENT PERFECTION OF
THE COMBINATION.
Mr.. Pease Wants an Accounting of

NEW YORK. Aug. a.-Papers were filed
in the county clerks office to-day in a suit
by Fred NJ. Pease. of Chicago, against
Charles r. Flint, Joseph S. A~uerbach. Geo.
w. Young. about thirty individual pillow
companies and the American Plow Com
pany for an accounting of the profits aris-
ing from the formation of the American
Pillow Company, which is the name of the
combination Of plow interests. In addi-
ton to this an injunction is asked to pre-
vent any Of the defendants from con-
tinuing any proceedings they have begun
towards the actual work of the formation
Of the company.
Mr.. Pease claims that he, in 1897, con-
ceived the idea of such a combination and
talked 1t over with Messrs. Young. Auer-
bach and Flint, but when the company was
formed he (Pease) was not consulted.
Among the companies included IN the list
Of defendants are Deere e. Co., the Mo-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-There was an
entire absence of developments in the CO.
lombian- Venezuelan situation at the Navy
and State Departments to-day. Some sur
prise and amusement has been caused by
the comments of the German press to the
effect that the United States has Interior
motives in taking precautionary measures
relative to affairs on the isthmus. Sucn
expressions, it is stated. show an entire
lack OF knowledge of the plain purposes
of this government to take no hand in the
southern troubles except for the protection
of American interests or in execution OF
the requirements of our treaty with CO.
lombia. However, these receive
no serious attention from those In author
ity, as they are expressive only OF individ-
ual opinion. 1t is noticeable, however, that
the South American countries most con-
cerned have no such concern as to Amer
lean purposes as those expressed in some
OF the European newspapers.
The Navy Department has been informed
of the sailing of the battleship Iowa for

Panama is 3.274 miles and the trip will

The Colombian-VenezueIan Trouble
Less Serious Than Reported.

NEW YORK. Aug. N.-The officers and
passengers of the steamer Orizboa, which
arrived from Colon to-day. said that the
reports of trouble between Venezuela and
Colombia were greatly exaggerated.
w neither saw nor heard anything of
any trouble while in the harbor." said
Captain Smith. II did not go ashore my
self, but ] know that everything was
peaceful and quiet. The government had
Put a few soldiers on the trains running
across the isthmus, but that is often
done"
Col. j. r. shaler, general superintendent
of the Panama Railroad, who was a pas
senger on the Orizboa, ridiculed the re-
ports of battles and incursions at the
isthmus and said there was no revolution
In Colombia. Neither had there been any
Interference with his road. He continued:
''The fact that l have left Colon for a trip
10 New York is evidence that there is no
disorder or trouble whatever at the 18TH
mus. I read of a battle which | know
never took place. There were many bat
talions engaged and 800 dead. but there
were never any such forces. and they
never saw each other. and nobody was
scratched. People who do not understand
conditions down there take these stories
seriously, but those who are on the ground
do not"
Asked why the United States had sent
warships there. he said: We'll, I suppose
that the consular officials receive startling
information as to what is going 10 happen,
take ii seriously and think that they must
be on the safe side. and SO they report to
Washington and the ships are sent as a
matter of course"
