The banquet was the elimination of an
extremely busy day for the President. At
II o'clock he drove to Light Guard
Armory and attended the opening session
of the third annual reunion of Spanish
War Veterans. He was given a tumultu-
Gus welcome by the soldiers. and his
speech was enthusiastically received.
War for their deeds and declared that
we have no apologies to make for the
war in Cuba or in the Philippines. AS
q result of the latter, he said. we will
give the Filipinos life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness such as they never
knew under a cruel oligarchy operating
through the Society of the Katipunan.
President Roosevelt drove from the
armory to the steamer Tashmoo. on
board of which he spent three hours rid
ing on the river. During the ride the
steamer went far enough into Canadian
waters so that the President was, for
short time, in King Edwards domain.
The President returned at 3 o'clock and
participated in the parade of the Spanish
War Veterans, which he later reviewed.
He was given a great popular ovation
during the entire afternoon. The great
est crowds ever seen in the city lined the
streets through which the parade passed,
and a great wave of thunderous cheers
swept them from end to end as the Presi-
dent drove.
For what is believed to have been the
first time in the history of the country
a President of the United States has re-
viewed a regiment of British troops, the
Twenty first Essex Fusiliers, participated
in the parade by the special permission
of this Government and the Canadian
Military Department. At the conclusion
of the banquet the President invited
Colonel Bartlett, their commander, to his
table and congratulated him on the fine
appearance of his command, which re-
ceived a veritable ovation on the line
of march.
Soon after the arrival of the Presiden-
tial party Commander Richmond Pear
son Hobson. U. S, N. arrived at the
armory and took his seat at the Presi-
dents table. He was given an enthu
siastic reception as he assembled the plat
form and greeted the President.

GREAT BRITAIN ABOUT TO

That Diplomatic Rupture Would Result in

(By the Associated Press.)

London, Sept. 22.-The Associated
Press is in a position to announce that
diplomatic relations between Great Brit
ain and Venezuela are on the verge of
being severed. Any day, almost any
hour, may bring the announcement that
the British Minister at Caracas has been
given his passport with corresponding ac-

leave Downing street fully impressed with
the belief that the Venezuelan govern

result in hostilities is a contingency thus
far scarcely ontemplated
The presen diplomatic relations are
so strained that to quote a responsible
British official, it would make very little
difference If the fact became public prop

representatives from Caracas and Lon

The view of the Foreign Office is that
affairs have reached stage where it is
impossible to deal satisfactorily with
Venezuela in any matter which may come

form COMMITTEES Recommendations.
(By the Asgoclated Press.l

Saratoga, n. Y, Sept. 22.-Excitement
late this evening among the delegates to
the Republican State Convention which
is TO be held here tomorrow, followed
a day of exceeding quiet. A rumor that
the slate had been broken and that the
name of Timothy /. Woodruff would af-
ter all take the place of G. r. Sheldon
for the Lieutenant Governorship grew
as il circulated. 1t was also said that
General Arson G. McCook had been Sc
lected for the second place and would
have the support of the Kings county
or Woodruff delegation. Earlier in the
day it was thought the question had been
settled and that George r. Sheldon
would be the only candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor when the convention met
Senator Platt in an interview said
Sheldon would be the nominee, as he
found the delegates mainly for him. To-
night Mr.. Sheldon said he had not been
asked to withdraw.
At meeting of the State Committee
tonight Lemuel Sill Quigg, of New York,
was selected for temporary chairman of
the convention and the hour of the first
session was set for noon tomorrow.
The party platform as drawn for pre-
sentation to the Committee on Platform
tomorrow will have the following recon-
mendations on the various topics to be
considered:
The Philippines-The following out of
the present policy of education with the
adoption of free elections and the estab-
lishment of a government shall CORE
spond to the government of the States
of the Union, but with the continuation
the native forces of civilization are in full
control together with free schools, lib
erty of conscience and religion and of
thought and speech.
.Cuba-A recognition of the obligations
of good peighborliness and exceptional
advantages for the sale of their produce
in this country.
Tariff-The following out of the policy
of protection to American industries so
long as the wages paid in foreign coun-
tries for the same kind of labor are less
than enough to maintain a working
mans family in comforts: protection to
the home products, on the ground that
revision will not destroy the trusts.
Trusts-A recognition that while every
business man and corporation will pur-
sue financial advantage as far as it can
he made to go, the Republican party
while not discouraging such effort, will
see that it is not carried to unlawful ex-
tremes. 1t win call attention to the
Sherman act designed to reach features
Of business combinations unlawful and
injurious, and it will promise to apply
such remedy for actual evils as will not
interfere at the same time with the bus
mess development and prosperity of the
country.
National Administrations thorough
and strong endorsement of the National
Administration and an endorsement of the
candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt com
plimenting him upon progressive ideas,
his ardent patriotism and his lofty in
tegrity.
