Seldom, since 1868 have national

But the republicans did not wish Cleve-

nominated against republican antagon-

Chicago, through the Tammany dele
gates, headed by Bourke Cochran, who
led full fighting majority Of the dele

was nominated and elected, notwith-
standing the bitter, well-commanded
and unscrupulous opposition of the

succeeded in the skilled culture Of con-

proclaim a government for the sole pur-
pose of protecting the life, liberty and
property of the citizen, and not for any
other business. It should, therefore, de-

CIVIL SERVICE RAISES ROW.
Discontinuance i'm China the Cause
of Protocols Delay.

Washington. Sept. S.-A cablegram
received to-day at the State Depart
ment from Special Commissioner Rock
hill, at Pekin. explains partly the de-
lay at the Chinese capital in securing
the final signature to the protocol
Mr. Rockhill says that the Chinese
plenipotentiaries received the expected
edict authorizing them to sign the
agreement in behalf of the Chinese
government on Aug. 2S. They were.
however, instructed to delay final sig
nature until they received another
edict touching the discontinuance of
civil service examinations in some of
the Chinese cities where the Boxer
movement found it's principal strength.
One of the penalties imposed by the
foreign ministers upon the Chinese
government was the discontinuance of
these examinations where the Boxers
were particularly offensive, and the
Chinese government is finding 1t. no
easy matter to discriminate in the Sc
lection of the places where the penalty
is to be imposed.

Washington, Sept. Sit is ascertain
ed that on Aug. "a, during Secretary
Hays recent visit to Washington, a
telegraphic message was sent to the
ministers at Caracas and Bogota, di-
recting them to inform the foreign sec
retaries of Venezuela and Colombia of
the distress with which the President
had heard of the likelihood of a dis
turbance of the relations between those
two republics.
Adverting to the possibility of the
influence of the United States being
exerted to compose the pending ques-
tions, the ministers were directed to
say that while the relations of this
government with both nations are
every opportunity is taken to show the
good will we bear them, any offer of the
Presidents kindly offices to arrange
any differences which may exist be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela would
be ineffective without the acquiescence
of both.
/ Nevertheless, inspired by the senti-
ments which are common to all the
governments of the American repub-
lies, the United States would sincerely
deplore a breach of the amicable rela-
tions that at this time happily exist
between the sister nations of the West
ern world, and would especially regret
any action by either of them which
might menace the security of transit
across the isthmus or the neutrality of
it's territory and thereby constrain the
government of the United States to
consider it's responsibilities and func-
tions under existing treaty engage
ments with Colombia.
The text of Mr.. Hays telegram has
not been made public. 1t is understood
that an acknowledgment of its receipt
has been made by the Venezuelan gov
ernment, but its purpose has not been
made known, although it is said to be
friendly in tone, and, while charging
invasion by Colombian forces on the
Venezuelan border and referring to the
temporary suspension of diplomatic in
tercourse which has occurred, the way
appears to be open for explanations.
Venezuela has not declared war against
Colombia.
Colombia also, it is said tonight, has
made response to the note of Secretary
Hay. While its contents are not OBJ
tainable tonight the statement is made
that it is conciliatory in character and
expresses an earnest wish that war
with Venezuela may be avoided.
Such a result, it is stated, would be
a cause of genuine regret to the people
of Colombia. Colombia, it is stated,
stands ready to accept the friendly in
terVention of the United States to
avert war and reposes full confidence
in the latter country.
