witness was actuated by his unfriendly
feeling toward Joyce all OF which o. Neil
denied Indignantly.
O'Neil testified Cramer told him the
actual expenses in the Larkins case had
been $27 and he had given IS to Sergeant
Gallagher and IS to Lieutenant Joyce.
The chief said Cramer mad told him he
took two IS bills in to the Office and
laid them on Captain Colleran's desk,
beside the chief of detectives. He said
he did not see Colleran pick up the
money, nor did Colleran say anything
when he laid the money on the desk.
O'Neil also related how on Cramer's
second visit to him he said Lieutenant
Joyce offered to pay back the IS he re-
ceiveds from the alleged fake ex-
pense account.
Then he told of Tracy's interviews.
The conversations covered practically
the same ground.
Tracy admitted making out the ex-
pense account and told him after pay
ing the actual expenses he turned over
the balance of the money to Cramer.
Tracy had said Joyce told him the MAX
ing out of bogus expense accounts was
dangerous, but 1t was after 1t was done.

Pekin. Aug 2S.-The imperial edict,
forbidding the importations of arms
and munitions of war. was not satisfac-
tory to the foreign ministers. A meet
ing of the ministers has been caiied to
discuss the edict. 1t ignores the vital
fact that the prohibition applies TO the
government and that it is part of the
Chinese punishment. An edict has been
received announcing that it is the in
tention of the court to return unostsn-
tatiously to Pekin. Their masssties will
give hundred taels as farewell con-
tribution to the distressed people of the
Sian Flu district. The edict forbids aEy
preparations being made for reception
of the court. A telegram has beer re-
ceived from Prince Chun, stating that
Germany has determined when he is .e-,
ceived by Emperor William he shall
bow three times: that the secretary Of
the mission and other subordlnates shall
PROSTATE themselves and knock their

Drill for Splendid Prizes
At Louisville.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 28.-The republic
can state convention, which meets this
afternoon, may prove to be a harmon
tous body and 1t may be stirred as no
convention has for many years. All
hinges on the length to which the OPP
ponents Of q parole from the peniten-
tiary Of former State Treasurer Bartley
by Governor Savage will go in their de-
termination to criticise the action of the
governor. The movement begun last
night to keep this single element of
party strife in the back ground, has
seemingly failed and sentiment this
morning among the delegates is SO
strong for an expression that there
seems no way to prevent the question
coming before the convention. Inter-
est in the nominations has been made
secondary to the BARLEY matter and
among today's incoming delegates little
else has been talked of. Early this
was given out by Gov. Savage, bear
ing on the BARLEY parole. 1t was a
justification and explanation Of his ac-
tion and said in part:
I granted the parole with the un-
derstanding on my part that. BARLEY
was to proceed to reimburse the state
and in addition was to render an ac-
counting of funds lost in banking which
he was unable to recover. Hundreds OF
people of various political affiliatiGn had
petitioned me to grant. not a parole, but
full and unconditional pardon. was
unable to justify in my own mind such
an act and granted the paroie for sixty
days only, conditioned as above stated. y
The governors statesment, altho
widely circulated, has failed to stop the
movement looking to the introduction
of q resolution questioning the wisdom
Of his action. A canvas of the six lead
ing candidates for the supreme judge

hours that the fight is believed to have
narrowed down to Judges Keyser, Om-
aha, Sedgwick. OF York, and Davidson,

tversity. with three to nominate, only
three names are mentioned today: HI.
L. Goold. Ogallala, present Incumbent;

The contest for the judgeship had at
room so narrowed down that twas as
serted that Davidson and Sedgwick
were the only real factors in the race.
The friends of Keysor had not aban-
ooned his candidacy, however. and the
supporters Of Calkins, of Kearney. de-
clared he would show surprising
strength. The BARLEY resolution, while
almost certain to be introduced, will
not, it is thought, specifically censure
Governor Savage or mention the name
OF Former Treasurer Barley. but will
seek to put the convention on record as
opposed to any leniency to the men con-
victed Of embezzlement Of state funds.
The convention meets at 2 o'clock.

turbed by the absence of reports. They

Ing the government here informed OF
Important developments and there is
every reason to believe nothing has
happened to change the status at the
isthmus or in Venezuela or that, owing
to the cutting off of telegraphic COM
municatiOn between the coast and in
terror, 1t is not possible for our coasuls
or for Commander Sargent, of the Ma

what is going on in the interior. It
may be stated in view of the reports
that our government intends to inIer-
vene in the interests of one
party or the other, that the government
here will adhere strictly to its we'll es-
tablished rule q non-intervention.
Nothing but interruption of isthmian

Defeat of Colombian RevoIutionists.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 2s.-The
Colombian legation here received mail
advices which contained statements
that $500 revolutionists under General
Marin had been DEBATED by the Colom-
bian government forces at Anapoyma,
and that 10000 government troops were
patrolling the border. It was said at
the legation that the invasions OF Co
lombian territory have been made by
two small bands under Venezuelan
eaders-Garbiras, friend of Andrae,
the deposed president of Venezuela.
and Uribe Tribe, an intimate friend Of
President Castro of Venezuela.
Tribe Tribe, who is reported to have
been backed by Castro in the move
ment against Colombia, is said to have
been reAnlsed. The advices show, also,
it is said. that there is now little danger
of war between Colombia and Vene-
zuela. Nicaragua and Ecuador have
notified Colombia that they will remain
neutral.
No advices in regard to the political
situation at Colon, on the Atlantic side
of the isthmus of Panama, have been
received at the Navy Department from
the commander of the gunboat Ma
chias, who arrived there in his vessel
yesterday. The gunboat Ranger ar
rived at Apapulco, Mexico, yesterday.
and according to a dispatch from her
commander left there yesterday for
Panama. The battleship Iowa is due
