The man at bat made a lift and was
clearly put out at first. In fact, 1t was
so plain a put-out that many persons

Strike Causes Hepubsfcan henuefs
Alarm.
CLEVELAND, o., August 2.-Senator
Hanna left here to-day for Canton to
visit President Mckinley. 1t is under
stood Mr.. Hanna will remain in Canton
as the Presidents guest until Saturday
afternoon, when he will return to
Cleveland.
While Senator Hanna declined to dis
cuss the object OF his journey to Can
ton, 1t Is generally regarded as signifi-
cant at this time. 1t is known that the
President Is most anxious to see the
great AmaIgamated strike settled at the
earliest possible moment. Senator
Hanna has also expressed himself as
desiring to see the struggle brought to
close, as well as admitting that he
is to some extent connected with the
efforts being made to reach an agree
ment.
That Mr. Hanna is bringing strong
influence to bear in favor of d settle
ment. there is little doubt, and those
who have closely watched the course
of recent events believe that the Sen
ators visit to Canton is largely for the
purpose of comforting with the Presi-
dent upon that subject.
CANTON, O., August 2.-Senator
Hanna reached the residence this after
noon He was met at the station by
Secretary Cortelyou and driven directly
to the Mckinley home, where he and
Mrs. Hanna will probably remain until
tomorrow evening.
Senator Hanna gave out statement
tonight, denying the reports connect
ing him with efforts to settle the
strike. II am just as anxious to have
the strike settled as is the vast major
ity of the people, but l am taking no
part in the negotiations, he declared.
He says his visit is purely social.

NEW YORK, August 2.-VeneZuela
is again on the eve of a revolution and
not only is that unfortunate republic
approaching a state of civil war, but
serious complications will in all proba-
bilities arise between the governments
of Venezuela and Colombia, says the
Port of Spain, Trinidad, correspondent
of the Herald. President Castro, while
facing the uprising against his own
authority, is also accused of furthering
secretly the revolution against the Co.
lombian government.
Arms, ammunition aid the other ac-
cessories of war have been quietly
smuggied into Venezuela through the
water ways of the republic and the
fin:,t engagement is expected to be the
signal for uprisings in several widely
separated districts
To add to the seriousness of the situa-
ton in Venezuela itself it is we'll known
that in the adjoining republic of Co
lombia a very strong feeling of resent
ment against tie Castro government
exists on account OF what is considered
a serious breach of international law
on the part of Venezuela for it's alleged
recognition Of. 1t not actual assistance,
to the leaders of the revolutionary party
of Colombia.
1t is even said that not only has the
Venezuelan government permitted its
ports to be used by the Colombian rev.
olutionists as a basis for the reelection
of supplies, but 1t has winked at, if not
actually assisted the Colombian revolu-
tionsts with certain articles of war.

INTERVIEW WAS FRU1rLEss.
Second Effort to Obtain InfOrma tiOl
Concerning Assault on Mrs. Dennis.

Second Effort to Obtain Information
Concerning Assault on Mrs. Dennis.
Mrs Ada Gilbert Dennis, who was so
mysteriously assaulted nearly two weeks
ago at her home, No. I'LL K street north
west, is still improving, and her chances
for recovery are regarded as much i'm
proved. While she is by no means out OF
danger, 1t Is believed by some of the ply
sicians that she will recover. Another ef-
fort was made last night to get from Mrs.
Dennis some information about the muir
derous attack, but she was unable to tell
more than she disclosed several days ago.
Major Sylvester and Detectives Helan Nc
Nance, Horne and Hartigan were at the
hospital last night when Mrs. Dennis was
questioned. Major Sylvester and Captain
Boardman consulted about the case aft er
the failure of the physicians to get any
to withdraw the detectives from the hospit-
al and the latter resumed their usual
duties.
Mrs. Dennis spent a restful night and
seemed to be trifle brighter today than
she has been at any time since she was
assaulted. The result of the last interview
with her was rather disappointing to the
police. Major Sylvester had hoped that
Mrs. Dennis would be able to have given
information which would at least have en-
abled them to find a motive for the assault
Although the detectives have been with
drawn from the hospital, they have by no
means abandoned the, investigation of the
case. 1t will be pushed until the woman's
assailant is arrested or until the officers
become satisfied that the mystery cannot
be solved. VI a.
