Neuro Found Hanging to a Tree.

Newport News, Va, June 1.-THE
dead body of an unknown negro was
found hanging to a tree on the Brier-
field road, near the city, yesterday.
The county authorities are unable to
determine whether the case is one OF
murder, lynching or suicide, but are
inclined to the suicide theory. The
scene of the CHASTITY discovery is in a
neighborhood which has witnessed
seven tragedies in the past year. MUIR
iers, accidental killings and suicides.

Much Bitterness at Meeting of Pennsyl.
Vania Republican State Committee.
Harrisburg, Pa, June 1.-THE Bit
terness between the leaders of the
Pennypacker and Elkin factions
cropped out several times during a
meeting of the Republican state COM
mittee yesterday afternoon to prepare
the roll of delegates and select the
temporary officers of today's state con-
vention. Senator Quay, the leader OF
the Pennypacker forces, and Attorney
General Elkin, in personal command
of his adherents, shook their fingers in
each others face and threatened polit-
ical reprisals if each was not given
fair treatment in the disposition of the
contested seats in the convention. State
Chairman Reeder accused Senator Quay
of making a deliberate misstatemenU,
and Senator Quay instantly replied that
this was an insult which he resented.
The vote on two propositions showed
that the Pennypacker forces had a de-
cisive majority in the committee.
Contests were filed with the commit
tee on contests from the Twenty
eighth Philadelphia district; the rifth
Luzerne district, the First Luzerne dis
trict and the Fourth Schuylkill dis
trict. The Philadelphia contest was
thrown out by the committee, and that
from the Fifth Luzerne district was
withdrawn. In the irst Luzerne dis
tIict, A. H. Fell and w. H. Morgan
were unseated and their seats given
to Charles A. Manor and Morgan B.
Williams, Watres' adherents. In the
Schuylkill district John Woodward
and George w. Seiders were unseated
and Samuel Lee and John T. Shoener
Pennypacker aGnerents, were given
their seats. The four delegates VINO
were unseated were pledged to Elkin
The action of the committee was sus-
tained by the state committee.

And my Christ's face must have been
a fOrgiving face because it was such
an intelligent face. He knows all that
we have done and suffered. He also
well knows how hard some of us have
struggled in our own strength to do
right He knows how we have grap-
pied each of us with his own besetting
sin, which we dare not tell to any hui
| man ear. He knOws-yes, he knows
how impossible it is for us to succeed
in battling that sin in our own
strength. So when we come to Christ
to ask for help to resist the evil pres
ent and to avert the evil future as well
! as to wipe out the evil past, oh, then
the strong face of Christ becomes a
tender, sympathetic, forgiving face.
Our SaviOur's eyes will ill with tears
of joy. Our Saviour's lip will culver.
Our Saviour's look will be one of par
don and of mutterable love.

Cannon's Plea For Economy In the
House Was Effective.
Washington, June 1.-THE house
yesterday defeated the bill to transfer
certain forest reserves to the agricul-
tural department and to authorize the
president to establish game and fish
preserves. Its death was accomplished
by striking out the enacting clause.
The motion was made by Mr.. Cannon
and was carried by 100 to 20. He
claimed that the bill would greatly in
crease the cost of administering forest
reserves, and declared that the esti-
mated receipts for the next fiscal year
already were exceeded by the appro-
priatiOns up to the present time by
over $57,OOO,OOO.

But. sad to relate. after all Christ

In Ezekiel we read, My face will

of our unrepented sins, shall become a

London: Great Britain has sent a

CARACAS THREATENED.
Revolutionary Forces Profit by Cas-.
tro's Weakness.

Port of Spain, Trinidad: According
to the latest accounts received here
the revolutionary leader. General Ro-
lando, with nearly 5000 troops, is with
in striking distance OF the capital. The
movement against Castro has been en-
gineered by General Matos with CON
summate skill. The revolutionists hold
three-fourths of Venezuela. The SELF
ure Of Castro's gunboats by the allies
proved an irreparable loss to the Gov
eminent army. Just before they were
seized these vessels conveyed large
bodies of troops to garrison various
seaports. These detachments are now
isolated at long distances from Caracas
and have no means OF returning, as the
revolutionists hold the intervening
country.
Most of Castros army has thus been
rendered useless. In Caracas he has
probably only 5000 troops on whom he
can depend. All the talk about Vene-
zuela showing united front to the
enemy is now known to have been
spread by Castro for his own purpose.
His appeal for unity fell on deaf ears.
The Governments extremity has prov
ed the revolutionists' opportunity and
the president is now engaged in a
three.cornered fight.
General Matos has played his cards
well. Although the British and Ger
mans are blockadng Unfortunately
ports held by the revolutionists and
those held by Cas- .ro's men, it Is be-
lieved here that the allies have had an
understanding with General Matos
from the outset. Should Matos prove
victorious, he will be able to make a
peacable settlement with the allies.

bribery in the Suburban railway deal
by a jury in Judge Ryan's court st.
Louis. and sentenced to Ave years each
in the penitentiary. The jury was out
one hour and three minutes.
The case ~ remarkable from the
fact that 1t was the first Joint trial in
the Doodle prosecution, under the
blanket information.

tried. One OF these. Meysenburg, had
his case reversed and remanded by the
Supreme Court Henry Nlcolaus was
acquitted by the courts order.
Defendants Denny and Bersch, who
get five years each from the jury in
the joint case, have already been CON
victed, the former receiving two years
for perjury and the latter five for the
same crime. Formal sentence has not
been imposed upon either man, how.
on another charge. Unless the Missou-
ri Supreme Court intCrvcnes, Denny
will have seven years to serve and
Bersch ten.

Italy Shows Willingness to Abide by
Any Arrangement Made by England

Recalled.

Berlin: Germany's answer to arbi-

ed through the United States Govern
ment. is it's acceptance. The delivery
Of this reply to the United States for
transmission to Minister Bowen Is de-
layed for day or two for tactical rea-
sons, probably through the expectation
that another solution may be found,
possibly by President Castro yielding.
Four days ago the idea Of the German
Government was in favor of rejecting
the arbitration, and that is understood
here to have been the temper Of the
British foreign office. While 1t isimpos-
sible to trace the steps that led to a
reversal of this view, 1t appears that
the state of public opinion in the
United States, so far as Germany is
concerned, produced a revision OF the
first idea. The officials here maintain
absolute silence regarding the charac-
ter of the answer. The foreign office
has no information to the effect that
President Castro has bestowed on Min
lister Bowen full power to represent
