NVLondon, Sept q. The Associated
Press is in a5posit1on to announce that
diplomatic relations between. Great
Britain and Venezuela are on the
verge of being severed. Any day, al
most any hour, may bring the an
nouncement that the British minister
at Caracas : has been given his pass
port with corresponding action
towards: the Venezuelan representa-
tive in London. The cause of the
crisis does not seem to- be confined
to- any particular: incident, but con-
sists in various differences (which
eliminated in Venezuela assuming
such an angry attitude. as to leaye
Downing street fully impressed with
the belief that the Venezuelan govern:

crucial issue. That a diplomatic rup-
ture would result in -hostilities is a
contingency thus far scarcely contem

The present diplomatic relations are
SO strained that to quote. a responsible

Cause of the Catastrophe.


Worship for negroes in Birmingham
and the pastor says there were at least
1000 persons in the edifice when the
stampede began. :
Just as Booker T. Washington con-
cluded his address Judge Billou, a ne
gro lawyer from Baltimore, engaged
in an alteration with the choir lead.
er concerning an unoccupied seat and,
it is said, a blow was struck. Some
one in the choir cried ''fight!'
Mistaking the word fight" for "fire,"
the congregation rose,.en masse and
started for the door. One of~the min
listers quickly mounted the rostrum
and admonished the people to keep
quiet. He repeated the word quiet
several times and motioned to his hear
ers to be seated. But the excited con-
gregation mistook the word quiet
for fire" and renewed the struggle to
reach the door. . =.
Men and women crawled over
benches and fought their way into the
aisles and those who had fallen were
trampled under foot. The ministers.
tried again and again to stop the
stampede, but no power on earth, ap-
parently, could stay the struggling,
fighting mass of humanity. The
screams of women and children added
to the horror of the scene, and~ through
mere fright many persons tainted, and
as they fell to the, floor were crushed
to death.
The level of the floor is about f[f-
teen feet from the ground, and long
steps lead to the sidewalk from the
lobby just outside the main audito-
rum. Brick walls extend on each side
of these steps for six or seven feet,
and this proved a veritable death trap.
Many Crushed to Death. " =
Negroes who had reached the top of
the steps were pushed violently for
ward and many fell. Before they
could move others fell upon them and
in fifteen minutes persons were piled
upon one another to a height of ten.
feet. This wall of living beings
blocked the entire entrance, and the
weight of 1,500 persons was pushed,
against it. More than twenty persons
lying on the steps unde derneath the heap
of bodies died from suffocation. - -.

A LOCAL BASEBALL LEAGUE.

Likelihood That One Will Be Formed tn
Coming Season. Vermont Wheel Club
Catholic Union, Brattleboro Hosiery Com
pany, Y. M. G. A., Durham Brothers ant
High School May Join-Meeting Will b
Held Soon to Plan Formation.
The prospects for local baseball
league are brighter this season thar
for years and it is very probable that
lovers of the national game will have
a chance to see some good contests.
In the days of Brattleboro's semi pro
fessional teams the taste of the local
fans was educated to such degree
that 1T has been extremely difficult
since to interest them in strictly anna
teur organizations. This year, how
ever, there has been great deal of
talk among the different organizations
of the town as to the advisability of
attempting the formation of league,
and with the good material available
it is probable that the attempt will be
made at once
A meeting was held in the Y. M. G.
A. rooms Saturday evening for the
purpose of discussing the match of
organizing team to represent the as
ISOLATION and it was voted unanimous
ly to do SO. Patrick Ferriter was
elected captain and the candidates for
the different positions will begin prac-
tice at once. The employees of Dun
ham Brothers store already have be-
gun practice with the idea of joining
a league should one be formed, and it
is almost certain that the Catholic I'M
ion will put a nine in the field
The matter of organizing team to
represent the Vermont Wheel club
will he brought UP at the next regular
meeting of the club There are num-
Der of old-timers among the club mem
oers and also some promising new ma
.erial from which to choose. The
Hosiery company has had
4 team in the field for the two seasons
1ast and there is no reason why it will
lot join a league this season. The
high school team is practicing regu-
arly and no doubt would become
member of the league after it's spring
is finished
With six teams in the field under the
of a league Brattleboro
would undoubtedly see some very good
,all. L. l.. Shea has offered pair of
Douglass shoes to the individual play
r having the best batting average at
he close of the season, and several
ther merchants have signified their
Intention of contributing prizes. There
5 also talk of putting up cup to be
Ield temporarily by the team which .
eads the league. As soon as the diff
erent organizations have completed
plans it is probable that
meeting will be held for the purpose
+ organizing the league and framing
ules to govern it,
