BEATEN BUT
RACED GAMELY

New York, Aug. 4.-The Indepen-
dence yesterday sailed the greatest
race of her career, in a stiff south
western which raised a rather heavy
sea. She was beaten 40 seconds over
the triangular course of so miles, boat
for boat, by the Columbia as she al
lowed the Columbia 81 seconds over
that distance She was defeated by 1
minute and IL seconds, corrected time.
This is better showing than the Con-
stitution has made against the Column
bia under similar conditions On the
second leg the independence gained [
minute and seconds while on the last
leg of the course, which was sailed
with wind on the port beam, she
gained So seconds. The last leg was
in a most exciting breeze and the In
dependence steered very wild. The
two men at the wheel could not keen
her steady on the course. While the
independence was performing her
work, the Columbia was going through
the water straight, attending strictly
to business. The thirty-mile course
was covered in hours, 81 minutes and
4S seconds by Columbia, making it one
of the fastest races on record.

More Cinnamon Must Not Be Allowed

Washington, Aug. Ga check OF
promiscuous emigration to the United
States from Canada may be the result
Of a proposition that has been made
to the officials of that country by this
government An inspection will be
instituted, in cooperation with the
dominion government and the trans
portation companies having terminals
in Canada, and this latter feature is
expected to work the desired change.
Canada will be expected to adopt
the rules laid down by the United
States in the entering Of immigrants,
except that clause which refers to the
importation of contract laborers, the
dominion being in great need of this
class of workers.
The Canadian railroad will probably
accede to the request Of the United
States to deport all immigrants who
may be excluded by this government
and by this friendly cooperation an
| enormous amount of smuggling. of
Cinnamon over the Canadian border
that is now going on will be checked

ment on the proposition made by the

VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT COM
FRONTED WITH REBELLION.
ALSO SPLIT IN CABINET
Trouble in Colombia May Also Lead
10 War With That Country-Arch-
Dictatorship Expected to Be AS.
sumed by Castro If DIFFICULTIES Are
Not UntaneIed.

Port Of Spain, Trinidad, Aug. s.
Confronted by armed rebellion in his
own country, and embarrassed by a
serious detection from his cabinet be-
cause Of his stand in abetting reyolu-
ton in Colombia, President Castro of
Venezuela has reached the most criti-
cal stage, thus far, Of his stormy adj
ministratiOn. That he will be able to
pass the present crisis without disas-
ter to his government now seems
most improbable. By each successive
act he seems more designedIy to
court q crash.
Yesterday his troubles were in.
creased when the Venezuelan minis.
ter Of war, Senior Pulido. leader of an
important political party, resigned af
ter a violent scene in The cabinet. The
minister refused to accept the orders
of President Castro to recognize the
reVOlutionists in Colombia as belliger
ents and to deliver a passport tc
Senior Rico. the Colombian minister
Senior Pulido denies that the invaders
Of Venezuelan territory are Colon
bans, as President Castro claims, but
insists that they are revolutionists.
The resignation of the war minister
has made the situation more critical
The government troops have been de.
feated in encounters with the rebels
near San Cristobal. Other uprisings
are taking place in the interior of the
country.
Senior Guerra succeeds Senior Pull
do as minister of war. 1t is now
feared that, in consequence of the
resignation Of Senior Pulido, Presi
dent Castro will declare war against
Colombia, Notwithstanding public
opinion against such a move. Castro
seems bent on his own and his gov
ernment's destruction.
President Castro, while facing the
uprising against his own authority, is
also accused Of furthering secretly
the the reolution against the Colon
bian government, of which Genera
Uribe-Uribe is the prime promoter
Arms, ammunition and the other &C
cessories of war have been quietly
smuggled into Venezuela through the
waterways of the republic, and the
first engagement is understood to be
the signal for uprisings in severa
widely separated districts.
General Castro is again expected tt
assert his power as arch-dictator OF
Venezuela by placing a strict censor
ship on all Geographic dispatches
from that country, as we'll as order
ing a close scrutiny of all mail matter
passing through the general post
Office in Caracas.

Dozen Lives Lost in Fear
full Explosion III
Philadelphia
Over a Score Injured,
Many Them Quite
Severely
Five Buildings Almost
Demolished By Fury
of Conclusion

Philadelphia, Aug. GA terrific ex-
plosion on Locust street above Tenth
last night completely wrecked five
structures and caused the death of
from ten to twenty or more persons,
while over two score others were more
or less injured.
Some of those taken to the hospital
will die. II is estimated that there
were at least rs persons in the five
buildings when the explosion occurred.
The buildings occupied were pool and
billiard rooms; a second hand cloth
ing store, colored restaurant and two
groceries.
The explosion occurred about $50.
The cause of the explosion is not
known but it is believed to have been
barrel of gasoline in one of the
three grocery stores. With the ex-
ception of one the front vans Of the
buildings were blown outward into
the street, while the floors and roofs
were blown upward and fell straight
to the ground. Almost every build.
ing in a radius of two blocks had win
dow panes shattered or were other
wise damaged. Every building on the
opposite side of Locust street was
more or less wrecked but none fell
Immediately following the explosion
occupants of the wrecked houses
could be seen crawling from the de-
bris while the agonizing cries OF
others were heard in the Wreckage
From the surrounding buildings in
jured people came running and fell
into the street unconscious.
In five minutes the great pile was
burning fiercely from end to end. A
general alarm was turned in and the
work of rescue begun by those in the
neighborhood, several lives being
saved by prompt work
The firemen soon had the flames I'M
der control and the work of digging
away the ruins was begun in earnest
Near the edge of the debris were sew
eral colored men, who were taken out
and sent to hospitals. While the work
of rescue was going on in the explod,
ed block the hospital attendants and
others made a search Of the damaged
houses on the opposite side of the
street and almost a score of persons
were taken to the various hospitals
from these places.
Police and fire officials are positive
number of bodies are still buried
under the ruins, and a large force has
been at work removing the wreckage
in the search for bodies. Nearly
fifty persons were last night a. the
various hospitals suffering more or
less from severe injuries.

REVISION OF TARIFF,
iowa Republicans May Take Conser.
vative Action in That Direction.

Iowa Republicans May Take Conser.
vative Action in That Direction.
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 4.-As the
time approaches for the republican
state convention a decided tendency
to demand that the convention express
itself in favor of a reform
of the tariff becomes notice
able. Some of the influential
republican papers Of the state have
taken up the tariff question and sew
eral have expressed themselves in
favor of plank in the state platform
calling for tariff revision. 1t is not
yet apparent that the Babcock idea
for the elimination Of the tariff on
goods on which the trusts have a do
nestle monopoly will be Endorsed. 1t
is hardly probable that the convention
will go to this length, if it speaks at
all on the tariff question
Back of the movement for an express
sion stand several of the most infiu-
entail members of the congressional
delegation. Senator Dolliver, Speaker
Henderson, Congressman Hepburn and
Congressman Haugen are mquestion-
ably in favor of a modification of the
tariff laws and are disposed kindly
toward the Babcock theory. Their in
fiuence and that of their friends will
be lent toward the introduction of
tariff reform plank in the republican
itate platform.

Application Made to the Officials at
Edgerton.
The Edgerton Reporter says that
IAN application for another street
railway franchise in Edgerton has
been filed with the city clerk by J. M
Clancy of Stoughton, as attorney for
James p Walsh of Chicago, who rep
resents a syndicate Of capitalists who
desire to build an electric road from
GAINESVILLE to Madison. These are the
same parties, it is believed, who are
behind the movement that is seeking
a line from Rockford through BelOit
to GAINESVILLE and from Lake Geneva
to Delavan to connect with the first
mentioned line. Franchises will also
be asked of Stoughton and GAINESVILLE.
The probabilities are that the common
council will defer action on the first
application until both matters come
up together"
At Stoughton, Mr.. Clancy represent
ed P L. SpoOner of Madison when he
asked for a franchise in that city and
the probabilities are that it is the
Spooner interest which is seeking the
Edgerton franchise.

Yesterday morning an opinion OF
Attorney General E. r. Hicks. rem
dered July %, was made public. The
opinion was addressed to State Treas
urer Davidson and declared to be IN
constitutional the law passed by the
last session of the legislature cancel

CADILLAC.
WINNER
DETROIT BOAT WILL DEFEND
CANADIAN CUP AGAINST
INVADER.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-The Cadillac Of
| Detroit has been selected to defend
Canada's cup against the Canadian
challenger, the Invader. The decision
was reached yesterday by the judges
after the Cadillac had won another de-
cisive victory over the Milwaukee,
! beating it over the line by about
| eleven minutes. The course yesterday
was triangular, twenty-One miles in
| length with the wind blowing Is miles
! from the northeast.
The Milwaukee was the first across
the line with the Cadillac ten seconds
in her wake. The Milwaukee forged
ahead and soon had a lead of three
fourths of a mile, which was main
tanned to the first buoy. On the
second leg both used balloon jibs and
as the Cadillac gained slightly under
the conditions supposed to be more
favorable to Milwaukee it was the gen.
eral opinion the race would go TO the
Detroit boat AS soon as windward
work commenced the Cadillac gained
steadily. She quickly passed the Mil
waukee and increased her lead all the
way home.
She was two minutes behind at the
second buoy and finished eleven min
utes ahead, making a gain of thirteen
minutes on the last seven miles. The
official elapsed time was: Cadillac,
2:54:55; Milwaukee, 3:06:08.
The first race between the Invader
and the Cadillac will be sailed August
TO- weather permitting.

STOLEN GOLD
RECOVERED

Goshen, Ind, Aug. 2.-Detectives
employed by the Akron, Ohio, bank
ing institution made an important ar
rest in a local gambling room which
resulted in recovering about SIG, 900 in
currency and gold coin. Two men,
who were captured, rif1ed the vault
in the Akron bank ten days ago. The
men were taken completely by sur
prise. They accompanied the officers
to Elkhart, where the robbers led the
way to the outskirts of the city and
revealed the buried plumber, every dol
lar of which was recovered The
bank officials through fear of panic
kept the fact of the robbery from the
pubic.

CONTEST
To LAST

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-The out
look for an amicable settlement of the
strike was considerably diminished
last night and indications are the con-
test will be protracted one. Efforts
of Mayor Phelan to bring about an I'M
Outstanding between the opposing IN
terests have failed and he has been
reluctantly compelled to abandon
temporarily at least his position as
mediator. Power to act has been
placed in the hands Of the labor coun-
Gil, which can, if so disposed, call out
so additional unions which include
nearly $4,000 men. There is little
change in the situation on the water
front. More men are at work than
Saturday but as they are new hands
and inexperienced. not much was &C
complished towards relieving the con-
gestion of freight.
