zuela Saturday is to be war blockade"
cOntrasted with the peace blockade which has
been in operation since the trouble with Venezuela
assumed acute stage A formal declaration
that blockade has been established will be
all the powers, and It Will be recognized by ths
United States Government. Following the prac-
tice in such cases. this government will maintain
attitude Of neutrality toward the helligerents.
although whether the President will issue a proola-
nation announcing this country's neutrality has
not yet been decided The matter will come up for
definite determination This government Ia
fully informed Of the intention OF the allies in the
movements they are making in the operations
against Venezuela
The notice about to issue of the formal blockade
of Venezuelan ports is not understood here to
mean that Minister BOwen's efforts adjust the
Venezuelan difficulties have failed As Mr.. Bowen
was appealed only to-day. he has had as yet
no opportunity of moving forward in his negotia-
tions to a point where he might reasonably expect
the allied powers cancel the remainder of their
punitive programme Therefore it is to be expect
ed that the threatened blockade will be duly pub
lished next Saturday unless in the mean time
Minister Bowen is able TO offer sufficient assur-
ances that the Venezuelan Government is ready
to meet the terms of the ultimatums.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Illinois State Fair, Springfield, Sep
TENDER 30 to Octo-
Der 4.

The premium list of the Illinois
state fair has been completed and
it is now being distributed through
the mails to all parts of the United
States and Canada. The list rep
resents cash premiums to the amount
of $4,000 in addition to innumera BILE
special prizes. The feature of the
list this year is the increased prem
iums in the saddle horse and cOmbi-
nation rings, made in Difference to
ing in the state.
Already it is evident that the dis
play of horses and cattle this year
will be the largest in the history of
the fair, for already the early de-
mands for space exceed the area
heretofore allotted to some of the
classes.
The state board believes that it
will celebrate its golden anniversary
with the greatest exposition in the
fifty years of its existence and
the most complete state fair ever held
in the United States. 1t congratu-
lates itself on the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be present in his
official capacity to lend his approval
and encouragement to the exposition
and that il will have or guests of
honor the governors OF all the neigh
boring states, who will attend with
their stats.
The visit of President Roosevelt
is to be entirely non-partisan in its
character and the reception to be
given him will be of the same sort.
The president in accepting the inVi-
tation said he desired to come to
Springfield to enjoy the fair and min
gle with the people and he WAS anN-
ious that nothing savoring of politics
intrude itself into the occasion.
Democrats and republicans alike will
vie with each other in making his
reception ono BETTING the president
of the United States and substantive
of Illinois reputation for hospitality.
superintendent Madden of the
speed ring is making Il special effort
this year TO get good class of
horses for the events on the track.
y portion of the money appropriated
for this purpose is held back for
special events, it being designed to
offer special purses to horses which
develop remarkable speed during the
summer racing season, for match
races on the Illinois track.

Creditors Receive Notice.

Notices have been received by the
patrons of the Parmelee Library in
this city to lie their claims against
the company with the receiver, Will
liam G. Arnold, who has been appoint
ed in Cook county to effect a settle
ment of its complicated affairs. The
books and other effects of the branch
office in this city were levied upon
some time ago by r.. W. Borgess. for
rent. The Parmelee Library is an old
institution. but it appears to be suf-
fering the effects of a too rapid eN-
pansion during recent months.
