AMERICANS SUFFER.
Ex-Consul Elder Deplores Petty Revo-
Iutions in Colombia.

New York, July flames NJ. Elder,
ex-consul of the United States at Pal
m yra, United States of Colombia, who
has just returned from that country,
declares that American merchants,
mine and plantation owners, who have
large interests there, are suffering
much loss because this government
does not afford them sufficient protec-
ton against the ravages of the con-
slant revolutions by the maintenance
of more cOnsu1s and consular agents,
the present number of which is not
large enough to afford necessary relief
to American interests.
According to Mr.. Elder, revolutions.
either general or local. occur about
once a year. The losses are caused in
about equal proportions by the gov
eminent and the revolutionary troops,
he says The outrages. according to
Mr.. Elder. can only be prevented by the
United States government ordering its
minister and consuls to insist on the
strict observance of the treaties
Mr.. Elder says that the present gov
eminent in Colombia will not be able
to hold out much longer because the
general belief in Colombia is that a
change is necessary.

enclosure the PennsylVanians were
three lengths ahead, and although they
again eased considerably and the 9TH
ers sourted. the Thames men were
never able to make up anything.
Passing the grand stand the Ameri-
cans could not resist a little squirt and
they roWed past with a dozen strokes

The ArSericans had a very friendly
reception. Ellis Ward, the American
coach who was in the UNI pire's launch.

It was 9 o'clock when the curtain was
rung up on the first act of "A Russian
Slave" at the Crawford summer theater

The question of greatest moment to

Rural Carriers Must Cease to Deliver
Other Articles.

Washington. July 4.-The postof1ce
department will sortly issue an order
prohibiting all carriers of rural delivery
mail from engaging in any other BUSH
ness while performing their regular du-
ties as such carriers.
Complaints have recently been re-
ceived at the department stating that
many rural free delivery carriers in
different sections of the country have
been making it 3. practice Of delivering
or selling goods along their mail routes
furnished by grocery and liquor deal
ers, who have readily perceived the ad-
vantage of reaching rural customers by
means of the mail man.
It is said that the carriers, in some
instances, became SO industrious in at
tending to this Incidental business that
they soon began to neglect their regu-
lar duties.
Recently, the department. informed
carriers that they might deliver and
carry packages for persons living along
their mail routes, but this proposition
never contemplated such a wholesale
scale of business as thar which in some
cases the carriers have been engaging
in.
