o New Developments-O Our Minister
at Caracas IL Use His Good Ofices

Washington, August 12.-The state de-
partment has authorized the American
lcharge d~'affaires at Caracas. Vene-
zuela. to use his good offices for Colom-
lbia in case the Colombian minister at
the Venezuelan capital leaves that
country. Minister Russell ~telegraphed
Hast week seeking instructions as TO
his course Of action in case OF the with
Idrawal Of the Colombian minister.
(which apparently was in Contempla-
Ition at hat time. He did not, however,
indicate that this withdrawal was pre-
I1minary TO any rupture between the
two republics, but simply asked II he
would be authorized TO act temporarily
i'm looking after Colombia's interests.
in case of h withdrawal OF the min
lister. AS it is the universal custom
to act in this when the request
is made, Mr.. Russell was authorized to
use his good offices for Colombia, in
lease this was agreeable to the Vene-
IZuelan government.
Since then. the American charge has
mot been heard from and il is not known
whether the Colombian minister has
withdrawn from Venezuela or whether
Mr.. Russell is fulfilling this temporary
duty.
There have been no additional devel-
Iopments as to the situation on the 18TH
muS Of Panama, where the trouble is
far removed from that along the Vene-
.lZuelan border. Consul General Gud-
Iger'S course in looking after the inter-
ests of Chinese along the isthmus is
not in pursuit of any specific instruc-
lions from Washington but follows a
procedure established some twelve
years ago. in connection with points at
which h Chinese We're entirely with
out official representation.
The navy department has now def
lnitely determined to make use of the
lbattleship Iowa, instead OF the Wis
%lconsin for use on the Pacific side of the
isthmus in case affairs become serious
there. This was due to the fact that
no word had been heard from the Wis
~jconsin, while the Iowa had reported
her arrival at Bremerton. Her COM
mander, Captain Thomas Perry, has
been ordered to take the ship to San
Francisco and is expected to sail to-
might. The Iowa is the flagship of the
Pacific station, and as such. flies the
flag Of real Admiral Silas Case. Al
last reports received here the admiral
was on board the Iowa, but it is hardly
probable that he will proceed further
lsouth han "a Francisco.
The gunboat Machias has reported
her arrival at Norfolk and probably
will sail for Colon tonight or tomorrow
morning.

AN RACE
Contest Won
by Less thar Allowance Time

Newport, X. l., August 12.-The on
|stitution covered the triangular course
|of thirty miles today in SO seconds less
time than the Columbia. The cham
|pion Of '99, however, wins the race on
time allowance by about 80 seconds.
No corrected time a be given, as the
boats have not yet been re-measured,
as required. In previous races the
Constitution had allowed the Columbia
L minute, II seconds. What changes
in measurement the new rig of the
Constitution has made it is not known,
but it is estimated she allows the old
boat only a few seconds less time, IL
any. The finish today was the note
worthy n only exciting feature Of
the contest. When within a mile OF
the line the Constitution made a short
tack that urcoubtedly lost her the
race. Captain Rhodes put the Consti-
tuition about on a port tack, crossed
the Columbia'S bow and tackled again.
While the new boats sails were twice
shaken in stays, the Columbia, with a
good full. still on starboard tack, was
bowling along at good speed, headed
only a few hundred yards to the lee OF
the line. The short time that the Con-
I%stitution was gathering Roadway, after
the last tack, the Columbia reached
through her and went ahead, though
still slightly in the lee of h new
boat. 1t was an exciting moment and
levery eye vas strained to watch what
promised to be a finish full of sensa-
ltion. The Constitution put about and
made for the line. The Columbia fol-
flowed 1t once but the new boat, hav-
ing a. better speed at the time. was
quicker in stays and was well away
while the old boat was lacking. She
Iluffed under the bow of the commit
tee boat exactly one minute ahead OF
the Columbia: but she had started q
lseconds ahead and thus in actual time
Ionly beat the old boat 80 seconds.

Sampson not to Figure I'm Inquiry

Washington, August 12.-Speculation
has been INDUCED in lately at the navy
department as to whether Admiral
Sampson will be represented by coun-
sci on the forthcoming Schley court OF
inquiry and whether Judge Advocate
General Lemly will call upon the gov
for legal assistance In ham
ding the case. Examination of the law
in the premises elicits the fact that
Admiral Sampson is not entitled To le-
gal representation at the hearings of
the court. From official view point.
Admiral Sampson does not figure in the
inquiry at all. 1t is improbable also
that Captain Lemly, judge advocate OF
the proposed court of inquiry. will ask
the government for assistance in ham
ding the case.

a while longer than the other physi-

He confirmed the statements made In
animation of the Presidents blood

nor, he added, did II show any signs of
peritonitis. While the examination of
blood was not made to determine the
latter fact yet 1t would Enthusiastically
have shown 1t had there been perito-

way of testing the condition of the
Presidents blood.
Or. McBurney laid particular stress
on the fact that the President Is able
to take a great deal of nourishment,
which was an important factor In the
treatment Of his case. 1t was the one
thing needed to strengthen and build
him up after the ordeal which has so

REQUIsITIoN FOR GOLDMAN.
Steps Already Taken to Secure Her
ExtraditiOn.

Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE police have
taken the preliminary steps necessary
to secure the extradition of Emma
Goldman the anarchist leader, under
arrest at Chicago for alleged completely
in the plot to kill President Mckinley,
and it is understood that application
for her removal to this state will go
forward to the Illinois authorities just
as quickly as the formalities can be
complied with.
Other than signifying their general
intent, the police keep silent as to the
course that they plan to follow and the
exact nature of the charge to be made
against the Goldman woman has not
yet been disclosed. There is also doubt
as to the manner in which 1T will be
made Superintendent of Police Bull
takes the ground that an Indictment is
not necessary to secure the Chicago
prisoner, and although there is a
grand jury in session here now 1t may
not be asked to indict the woman.
1t is generally believed that Emma
Goldman is to be tried under the laws
of this state for conspiracy, but 1t is
admitted that much depends upon the
nature of the showing that can be made
against her in court. Doubt is express
ed that the police so far have been
able to secure any satisfactory evidence
connecting her with the crime commit
ted by Csolgosz and the ability of the
police to secure conviction upon the
information they now have is serious
ly questioned in some quarters. The
police continue to withhold all infor-
nation about their work, but say that
they will not proceed against Emma
Goldman unless their investigations
fully warrant such action.
Czolgosz is still in the police lookup,
but probably will be removed soon to
the Erie county Jail. The latter offers
special advantages in connection with
his arraignment, for 1t is connected
by tunnel with the City Hall, where
the courts are located, and privacy and
secrecy in handling him are assured.

INDICTMENTS IN BANK CASE.
Reported That Onicers of Seventh
National Are to BE Held.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE announce
ment that Indictments had been handed
up to Judge Lacombe in the United
States District Court b ythe grand jury,
which had been investigating the af-
fairs of the Seventh National Bank,
created some interest in the financial
district this afternoon and led to the
aport that officers of the wrecked
j. nix had been indicted.
The grand jury handed up the in
dietments at noon, and Judge Lacombe
said that he would issue bench war;
rants for the persons indicted. Assist
ant District Attorney Baldwin declined
to say who had been in
dicted. Later in the day he
absolutely denied that warrants had
been issued for any officers of the Sew
enth National Bank and added that the
grand Jury had not yet finished its de-
liberations in the matter.
The guarded statement of Assistant
District Attorney Baldwin that no
warrants had been issued for any Off
GERS of the bank and that the grand
jury had not finished it's deliberations
in the matter did not set at rest the
story that indictments against somS
one connected with the bank had been
found. According to Information OBJ
tanned late tonight the grand jury
has handed down three indictments in
the Seventh National Bank case. Ac-
cording to the same information no
arraignment of the persons named in
the indictments will be made for sew
