Prominent Chicago Man Makes Effort
 to Escape Payment of Duty.

Chicago, September 4.-Diamonds and other yaluables worth $25,000, which were recently shipped into the country by prominent Chicago man on his return from Europe without the payment of duty, have been seized by J. J. Crowley, special agent of the Treasury Department in this city.
 The jewels, which were purchased, it is said, in Paris, have been turned over by MT. Crowley to William Penn Nixon. collector of customs in this city. He will hold them until orders for their disposal are finally received from Washington.
 An effort is being made to settle the case with as little publicity as pos sible. It is probable that the owner of the valuables will pay all the costs which will amount to something like s10,O0O, and thus avoid prosecution.

 Caused Stir m South America.
 The note of the United States offering to mediate has created an unusual stir in South American diplomatic circles, as 1t is construed to be rather marked de- velopment for the Monroe doctrine and one which will be rather more accept able to South America.
 The Colombian government will make an emphatic rejoinder to the official statement of Venezuela that invaders of Colombian troops have been crossing the Venezuelan frontier and have been fore ing war upon that country. Although the terms of the reply are not determined up- on it will show in substance that the att titude of Colombia has been one of for bearance; that Colombian troops on the frontier are there for the legitimate pur- poses of protecting the border and that any crossing of the lines has been by de- tached bands without the approval of the federal government. AS against Vene- zuela's assertion that Colombia Is fore ing war 1t Is likely to be pointed out that Colombia has remained silent, while Ven- ezuela has received the Colombian insur- gent leader General Uribe-Uribe, at Car acas, and that President Castro and Uribe-Uribe have held conferences on their mutual grounds.
