Are Reported.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Sept. 2s.-secre-
tary Moody today sent the following cable
gram to Commander Patch Of Montgomery,
at Cape Haytien:.
Proceed to Port Au Paix. Use discretion
about length of visit before proceeding
Marta.
The orders to Montgomery to pro-
coed to Port Au Paix were a result OF re-
ports received at the state department to-
day. indicating disturbed conditions at that
place. Montgomery will proceed from
Port Au Paix to Santa Marie, on the north
coast OF Colombia, near the mouth Of the
Magdalena river. where telegraphic and
railroad communication is reported cut OF
as a result OF revolutionary operations.
1t is said at the navy department that
the cruiser San Francisco. which is now

Montgomery.

Spelling FUTURE CHANCES
Blum h M~ercerites Are Trying to
Work TO Hold Republicans In
Line for Mercer.

OMAHA. Sept. 29. 19O2.-To the Editor of
The Bee: l met William F. Gurley on Sat-
urday and he told me that I was spelling
my chances for the future II I continued to
oppose Dave Mercer, / was in attendance
at the debate between yourself and Gurley
a few weeks ago and heard you charge him
with instructing his tenant, Johnny Wright,
who keeps a saloon and gambling house on
lower Capitol avenue. to take Ransom's ad-
vice in voting for candidates. At that time
Ransom was working for the democratic
ticket.
This charge Gurley did not deny. so 1
took It for granted that he preferred Hitch
cock at that time to Mercer, and yet this
did not spoil Gurley's chance to 90 to the
national convention. Two years ago Cur
ley worked and voted for the fusion candi-
dates for the legislature when he must have
known that their election would result In
the election OF Hitchcock aud Bryan or
Allen and Bryan to the United States senate.
Gurley was at that time a member OF
MERGERS congressional committee, and al
though he and Blackburn knitted the legis-
lative ticket IL did not seem to spoil their
chances for running the congressional cam-
paign this year. Now. ! am not a member
Of any committee. not q candidate for any
once, and Mr.. Gurley's threats that / will
spoil my chances for political Advancement
don't scare me worth a cent.

HOLDS ANNUAL FALL OPENING
Young women's Christian Association
Throws Open It's New
Quarters.

The Young women's Christian association
held its annual fall opening last evening
in its rooms in the Paxton block, the gath
ering being in the nature Of a housewarming
OF the newly acquired rooms and the in
PRODUCTION of the three new secretaries who
have been added to the staff this fall.
The new reading and rest rooms we're
thrown open and despite the inclement
night. were well filled with interested
friends OF the association work Out in
the new assembly room the program opened
with devotional services, conducted by Mrs.
Wells OF Chicago, who took as her theme
the personal obligations of the women. Mrs,
Emma r. Byers, general secretary, spoke at
length OF the various departments of the
associations work and Of the extension
that the new quarters had made possible.
Then came the introduction OF the new
secretaries, Miss Oberg, assistant general
secretary, Miss Ticknor. physical director,
and Miss Nellie Welker, extension secretary.
There was rausie by the Young Women's
Christian association quartet and a solo by
Mrs. Edwards.
The remainder OF the evening was devoted
to sociability. over in the lunch rooms,
which had been frightened with the car
niyal -colors, the work Of the various COM
mittees was arranged at tables with reg
listers for those caring to enter the classes.
There was a prettily trimmed booth with
Illustrations Of the work 10 typography
and basket weaving and another where
members Of the educational committee ex-
planned the work OF the classes. In the
west room were the refreshment tables,
from which members OF the committee
served coffee and waters.
Since the acquisition Of the new rooms
the idea seems to have gone abroad that
the effort for the new building is at an end.
The members Of the association wish It I'M
d~erstood that this is a mistake, that the
present extension is but the means OF ac-
eommodating the 1000 members who hope
to make the new building possible within
another year.

TO PAVE FLORENCE BOULEVARD
Members of Pnrk Board Disagree
on Material to Re
Used,

After disposing Of its routine business,
which consisted chiefly OF approving the
regular bills for current expenses and the
pay rolls, the park board spent a greater
part of yesterday afternoon in discussion
of the proposed paving of Florence boule-
ward, which still presents some dificulties.
These diniculties are entirely OF a financial
nature and 1t is believed may be satisfac-
torily adjusted between the park board, the
Board OF County Commissioners and the
contractor, who has been figuring upon the
work. The members present yesterday were
Messrs. Craig. Cornish, Evans and Gonden,
the two first named being in. favor OF clos
ing a contract for the Yitrined brick block
pavement, while the others hesitate to do
so for the reason that they wish to be more
fully assured than at present. that the board
in undertaking that expense win not preju-
dice the interests OF the improvements to
other boulevards that have been planned to
be paid for out Of the Rpportionment to
be received from the current tax levy. AS
an argument in favor OF the adoption Of the
brick pavement rather than the less expen-
sive macadam, II has been urged that In
the long run the cost will be met by the
county and will only fall upon the park
board temporarily.
The board granted Miss r. L. Hamlin of
Brownell hall. permission to TAX her class
in botany to Riverview park to collect
specimens of moss and wild flowers.

FAVOR REFUNDING MONEY
Most of CouncIImen would Right
Admitted Wrong Done to
Gardeners.

The general committee OF the city council
was waited upon yesterday by a delegation
OF market gardeners, who entered a pro-
test against the way they have been treated
in the management OF the present market
accommodations. 1t was shown that the
gardeners in question had been charged
rental for stalls or space In the new market
which it was intended should be located
on Capitol avenue. but had never received
any benefit from the money they had thus
paid. II was stated that all Of the men
had paid as much as s., and some as high
as SS2. making a total Of S54s.75, but that
instead OF being in any way favored they
we're compelled to remain at the old How
ard street market and compete for the de-
sirable positions with the hucksters from
Council Bluffs and other outside places.
The general sentiment among members OF
the council was that inasmuch as the city
had furnished the gardeners nothing for
the money they had paid the money should
be refunded to them, and an ordinance will
be introduced at the council meeting to-
night to correct the admitted injustice.
Building Inspector Carter urged the coun-
cilmen TO take steps to pay the bill for the
digging Of a we'll at the emergency hospital
for which he had made a contract with the
understanding that the man who did the
work should receive his money as soon as
the well was completed. The we'll, Mr.. Car
ter explained. was a necessity from the fact
that the one formerly In use ran dry at
the critical time when there were small
pox patients at the hospital and water
could not be obtained from any OF the
nelghbors because Of the danger Of con-
tagion. The contractor had incurred in
debtedness for the material used and for
his help and certainly deserved that his
bill Of $2s4.sO should be paid. The coun-
cilmen agreed that there was no custom
as to the correctness OF the bill and that
It should be paid at once. but there was
tome doubt as to whether that could be
done in the present condition Of the gem
eral fund. The matter will be taken up at
the meeting tonight.

meeting. at which time the application for

sanization was held in Chicago ten days
ago. An Omaha representative was made
one Of the vice presidents. He made a re-
port to the meeting last night, stating that
the international union already has about
forty locals. The organization is formed
on the lines OF the International Typograph-
zeal union, and all secret work, which has
been a feature Of former attempts to or
ganiEe the commercial operators, has been
done away with. Application has been
made to the American Federation OF La
Dor for a charter in that organization.

story TO Come.

As the hearing OF the application for an
Injunction against the strikers by the Union
Pacific Railroad company progresses the at
torneys for the respondents admit that as to
one or two strikers It has been shown that
they were unlawful in thel- opposition TO
the striker breakers, but, on the other
hand. that there has been less violence used
IN this strike than in any where so many
persons were engaged and where a COM
pany asked for the extraordinary relief Of
an injunction.
The first witness yesterday morning was
Sylvester Sweeney, who came from Mil
waukee to Omaha about the time the strike
began. With T. J. O'Kane he was ar
rested by the police as a suspicious charac-
ter or vagrant and was released when It
was shown that he was employed by the
Union Pacific; he was walking on Farnam
street from the Union Pacific headuuarters
AFTER his release when he was set upon by
strikers and assaulted. He identified Will
liam Richelieu as his assailant. The testi-
mony Of this witness was corroborated by
o'Kane.

yards; had seen no violence and had heard
no Indecent language; saw a number OF
men enter a gap in the fence, but they left
quietly when told that 1t was private prop
erty by the guard on duty.
Orville Carson of 1914 Jackson street, n
night Waterman, had gone back and forth
between the shops and home and was never
troubled but once, when a man came out OF
Goldsmith's saloon and struck him; the
men with his assailant reproved him for
making the assault and told witness that
he had been struck by a boiler makers
helper.
Peter longer Of PIT Burt street, a guard,
said that he had been on watch on the Cass
street gate and had never seen any disor-
derby conduct on the part OF pickets or
strikers.
John II. Carroll Of 21S2 Sherman avenue
had seen the strikers around the grounds
many times; had seen no assaults and had
heard but two men, McKenna and Harra-
way, use indecent language.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-The following

Minister Bowen, dated at Caracas, yester-
day:
I nave been reliably Informed that the
government will probably cut all the cable
lines this week. Therefore l suggest the
dispatch to this point OF warships in case
communication is interrupted.
The dispatch is interpreted as showing
conditions unfavorable TO the government
of Venezuela. as except in the event that
the tide has turned strongly against 1t, 1t
is thought here there would be no desire
on it's part TO prevent the news of the
daily happenings In the campaign from
reaching the outside world. AS for the
warships requested, Montgomery is already
under orders to go to the Colombian coast
from Hayti, where it is now looking into
some complaints made by an American
corporation to the effect that its business
at Port De Paix is jeopardized by a threat
Of the national party to land troops IN
that insurgent stronghold. Later on, San
