MINNESOTA HUsTLERs HIT

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov 29.-The
United States marshal and district at
torney today received copies of a circular
from Attorney General Knox with orders
to post it in their office and call it to
the attention of all employees. The cir
cular says:
ITO all officers and employees Of the de-
partment of justice: Your attention Is
directed to circular of this department
issued Aug. 20, 1900, in which section
of the civil service act of Jan. 16, 1888,
forbidding any executive officer or EN-
ploye, among others, to solicit or re-
ceive political contributions from any Or
ficers or employees of the United States,
was quoted, and all persons serving under
this department were required to observe
strictly the prohibitions of this law, and
were recommended to refrain from
service on political committees charged
with the collection and disbursement of
campaign funds. l now repeat the in,
functions of that circular, and add the
following further directions on this SUBJ
ject:
Be Not UnduIy Prominent.
Rule No. OF the civil service rules
provides that no person in the executive
civil service shall use his official authority
or official influence for the purpose OF III
terfering with an election or control the
result thereof. The spirit of the civh
service laws and rules renders it highly
undesirable for federal officers and en>
ployes to take an active part in political
conventions or in the direc.on of other
parts of political machinery. Persons in
the government service under this de-
partment should not act as chairmen OF
political organizations nor make them.
selves unduly prominent in local political
matters. It. is expected and requested
that all officers and empoyes of this de-
partment shall act in entire conformity
with the views herein set forth

THE SHAMROCK FLOATED
To Receive Her Finishing Touches.
Ready tor q Sail Wednesday

New York, August 17.-The Shamrock
II was f1oated out Of drydock today and
was taken to Tomkinsville, S. /. where
the finising touches will be put on the
racer. Before she left the dock she was
painted a light green above the water
line. 1t is the purpose to have the
Shamrock II in readiness for a cruise
off the Hook on Wednesday TO greet
her owner when he arrives on the Teu-
tonic. due that day.
Captain Sycamore. who witnessed to-
days race between the Constitution and
the Columbia, was asked today which
of the two boats was the best. He re-
marked that they were SO much alike
that he did not care much which one
would be put against the Shamrock ii.
He thought. however. that the Consti-
tuition was a much finer finished boat
than the Columbia, and that so far as
he could Judge there was little differ
ence in the sailing qualities OF the two

to the Assembling of a Strong Naval
Force at the Isthmus-Vessels Under
Orders TO Proceed.

Washington, August 1.-The navy de-
partment, which is directing all its
energies to hurrying ships to the scene
OF the omuia-Venezuelan trouble in
order to enforce our treaty guarantees,
expects to have three ships on the way
within twenty-four hours. The Ma
chias, which has been detained at
Hampton Roads by the threatening
weather south of Cape Hatteras, was
able to start on her journey today. as
surances having been given by the
weather bureau that all danger from
the gulf storm along the southern At
lantic had now passed. Word was re-
ceived at the navy department today
that the battleship Iowa had arrived at
San Francisco. and she was instructed
by telegraph TO proceed as soon as pos
sible to Panama on the west coast 1t
is probable she will have to take some
coal aboard, but the department be-
lieves she viii be able to sail on her
3,4OO miles journey by tomorrow morn
ing.
The Ranger has sailed from San
Diego southwark
1t is understood that the navy de-
partment has been looking over the
situation as regards other ships avail
able on the Atlantic side in case future
events should neceSSitate reinforce
ments on the eastern side of the 18TH
mus andit has been found that ship
could easily be detached from the North
Atlantic squadron at short notice.
There are indications that there will
be a considerable gathering Of foreign
warships at the isthmus, and that the
American shi-s will be brought into
company with those of the British,
German and Grench navies. Already
the French cruiser Suchet is at Colon.
According to German reports, a Ger
man cruiser is moving north from Bra
zil and the cruiser Niobe is likely to be
assigned to service along the isthmus.
The German cruiser Gier, which was in
American waters for some time, is also
expected to return.
EnSlSn reports nave referred 10 the
probable presence of some of the ships
Of the British West Indian fleet. This
will make a rather unusual gathering
from the foreign navies, and the au-
thorities here doubtless will be desir-
GUS of having American interests rep
resented by ships worthy of compari-
son with those from other countries.
On the Pacific side the Iowa will be the
largest ship among those present.

SITUATION IN VENEZUELA
Described by President Castro-Cause
of the Colombian Attack

New York, August 1.-THE following
cable message has been received by the
Associated Press from Torres Carde
mas, general secretary of President Cas-
tro. of Venezuela in reply to dispatch
addressed to the president, asking him
for a statement on the Venezuela-Co-
lombia situation:
Caracas, Venezuela, August II.
I'm the name Of his excellency, Cen
in the following terms:
1.-The government of Venezuela. pre-
sided over by General Castro, is fully
justified in all its works and acts. It
is essentially liberal in it's practices. 1t
is Of the opinion that the conservatives
of Colombia, probably led by ruinous
and wicked passions. have resolved, to
assist in a revolutionary movement
against Venezuela and her government.
''An Of this has been actually proven
by the official publications issued by
the cabinet in Bogota- They date from
April 1st. This view has not been de-
MED. either by the conservative gov
ernment Of Colombia or by her envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary in this capital.
when the government Of Venezuela
was surprised by the first and second
invasions Of her frontier by 5000 and
1000 men respectively, the invaders
were VIGOROUSLY expelled by the gov
ernment and the people Of Venezuela.
'tSince said events 10000 men have
been massed on the frontier for the
defence and integrity Of Venezuela and
its national honor. These are quite
apart from her active service troops
on other parts OF the frontier, as well
as national troops scattered over the
republic and the reserve militia now
under arms.
Venezuela has not accepted the in
vasion as an international attack by
the people Of Colombia against the
people Of Venezuela, but knowing its
real source. recognizes in it the work
of the conservative government of Co
lombia against the majesty of the na-
tion Of Venezuela.

wALTHOUR'S DECISIVE VICTORY
He Defeats Harry Elkes In an Hours
Contest

New York. August 17.-Bobby Wal
thour, Of Atlanta, Ca, scored signal
victory over Harry Elkes, of Glen
Falls, N. Y, on the Manhattan Beach
cycle track this afternoon. They met
in a one hour motor paced race and
Walthour won by lap and a quarter,
after traversing thirty-six miles and
two and three quarter laps on a three
lap to the mile track.
While the distance covered in the al
lotted time is away behind the record,
the race in itself for more than half the
journey was the closest ever contested
on the Seaside track. Walthour hav-
ing the pole was slightly behind as they
got the word, but he forged to the front
before the first turn was reached and
soon made up a gap Of ten yards which
he held to the end Of the first mile.
At the conclusion of the second mile
Elkes got into the lead and held it un-
til the end Of the nfnteenth, but the
Glens Falls rider fell back after he had
changed his pacing machine after the
conclusion of the nineteenth mile.
Walthour without a change of pace
crept up steadily on the leader and
shot by his opponent when the twen-
tieth mile had been reached From this
to the end of the contest the issue was
never in doubt.

Result Of the Storm In Pensacola-The
Steamer In Easy Position

New York, August IA. H Bull &
Co., the New York agents OF the
stranded steamer Evelyn received the
following telegram today from Captain
Ritch of the Evelyn dated at Pensa-
cola:
Evelyn ashore twelve miles west OF
here, with steering gear broken; was
anchored, but parted chain and went
ashore during hurricane; resting easy"

Pensacola and was the first steamer OF
the new line known as the New York
and Pensacola Steamship Company.
Pensacola, Fla, August 17.-No addi-
tional damage to shipping by the storm
has been reported and so far as known
there was no loss of life here. The
New YOrk-PenSacola liner Evelyn, re-
ported ashore at the mouth of Perdido
bay, twelve miles west Of Pensacola
bar. is not in as critical. condition as
first reported. Captain RIGHT went IN
a small boat up Perdido bay to Mill
view and from there by wagon to this
city today. He says his steering gear
went wrong and his vessel struck her
nose in the sand in about eight feet OF
water where she was somewhat pro-
tected from the main force Of the storm.
A survey was held today. The vessel
is not leaking and it is believed she
can be gotten off without damage to
her hull. A contract was made with
r. A. Hyer, to discharge her cargo on
barges and tow it to this city. The
cargo consists of 1 900 tons of coffee and
$50 tons of general merchandise. The
work of raising the small vessels that
sank in the bay is progressing.
The cypress lumber cargo Of the
schooner Tortugas from Mobile for
Apalachicola is being unloaded and the
vessel will be raised
