ried. r. 5e

wATTERSoN ON CLEVELAND.
Says Former President Helped to
Wreck Party.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE. KY. June 25.-Henry Wat
terson. in the Courier Journal, says the
Bailey interview with Grover Cleveland
and it's population throws a very flood
of light upon the method and character Of
Cleveland MIR. Watterson expatiates at
length and. stateg his own case as fol-
lows:
But what we have against Mr.. Cleveland
is that as a party leader he was fail
ure. as revenue reformer an impostor
as an ideal statesman. that is the ideal of
the expectant on the one hand, and of
the blockhead on the other, he was and is
the mere statesman of straw. Entertaining
not the smallest private grief against him,
we reject. perhaps. sometimes too agrees
siyely his pretensions and the pretensionS
OF his panegyrists, methods and the meth
DDS of his hackers, seeking with respect
to him as far as We know the truth to
tell 1t.
There is not the faintest likelihood of his
being the nominee OF any contending party
next year. Personally he is in nobody s
way. But as one of two millstones-Mr.
Bryan the other-which affect to represent
all there Is of democracy, crushing the resi-
due OF the common interest between them,
We see in him menace to that common
interest.
Hence to these two, Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
cleveland. we say, a murrain o. both your
house. One of you has a grievance, the
other an AK to grind. One of you wrecked
US In port. The other has led US In two
successive wild goose excursions. Stand
aside. each of you and give the party a
chance"

ADVICES AWAITED
NO INFORMATION REGARDING
THE COLOMBIAN CONGRESS.
Delay in the Arrival Of News From
Bogota-Anxiety Regarding
the Canal Treaty.

Information relative to the organization
of the Colombian congress, which was con-
vened in special session at Bogota Satur-
day last, is awaited here with deep In
terest 1t Is of Importance here to know
who have been elected as presiding offi-
GERS Of the two different branches. as their
attitude toward the treaty may have con-
siderable bearing on the result. 1t Is an
ticipated that there will be an alignment
of the two forces-friends and opponents
OF the treaty-early in the proceedings
which will show to some degree the
strength Of the respective forces.
In Colombia each branch Of congress
elects its own presiding officer. This be-
ing special session it will be necessary
to appoint only such committees as may
have to do with the special subjects
brought before the congress. 1t Is OF In
terest here to know IL the canal treaty
was the first subject to which President
Marroquin directed the attention of the
congress. Under the order of things in
Colombia the congress, when called In spe-
cial session. can consider only one subject
at time and in the order in which the
matters are referred by the president.
This session can last but a month, as the
congress must convene in regular session
July 30 next. If consideration of the
treaty is carried into the regular session
1t may be taken up at the will of the
two branches.
No news has yet been received at the
Colombian legation or at the State De-
partment regarding the meeting of Con-
gress. In explanation of this it is sug-
gested that congress probably did no more
Saturday than meet and adjourn, so that
there was nothing of Importance to report
on that day. News sent from Bogota by
cable does not ordinarily reach here until
the third day after its Transmission.
Communication with Bogota is by land and
cable lands with number of relays.

MINISTER FROM VENEZUELA.
Reported Selection Of Gen. Hernandez
Former Opponent Of Castro.

6OImSE lOppQuouI U SeaStIo.
Word comes from seui-ofhcial source
in Caracas that Venezuela is to re-estab-
ush her legation at Washington. and that
General Jose Manuel Hernandez Gel Mo-
cho') is to receive the appointment Of min
lister to the United States.
Venezuela has been, without a minister
or legation here FOR over three years. The
late Senior Jose Andrade was the last to
hold that office. Since then Senior Augusta
F. Pulido, as charge d'affaires. has had
charge In Washington Of minor diplomatic
affairs for the Venezuelan government.
The selection of General Hernandez for
the post has caused surprise both in Venez-
uela and in this country, as 1t is only few
months since he was liberated from prison
In Maracaibo. He was confined for starting
rebellion against President Castro. He
was set free at the time of the recent trou-
BILE between Venezuela and Germany and
England to fight for his country.
President Castro's object in reconciling
his old enemy, it is said. is to induce the
nationalists in the revolution to discontinue
leader and accept government offices. The
plan has worked well so far, and now men,
bers of lei Mocho's'' party hold several
high positions, including cabinet port
folios.
General Hernandez Is about fifty years
old He Is a carpenter by trade and re-
ceiyed the name OF Eel Mocho' c'the
maimed') because Of his crippled arm, the
result of bullet wounds received in a for
mer rebellion. Nicolas Hernandez, his son,
Is a compositor in Philadelphia.

Scene in the Chamber.
Previous to the king taking the oath
there was a joint sitting of the senate and
skupshtina, attended by a religious service,
at which the metropolitan officiated.
The president of the senate opened the
joint session with the announcement that
the king would take the oath to maintain
the constitution. King Peter then ap-
peared. wearing his orders and other deco
ratons and accompanied by the cabinet
ministers.
The metropolitan uttered brief prayer
and then read the oath. which the king
repeated in firm voice.
Loud cries of Long live King Peterf
punctuated the kings repetition of the
oath.
After the metropolitan had bestowed the
benediction all present joined in singing
the national hymn
The king took leave Of the assembly
with the words: God be with us,
brothers"

THE JEWISH PETITION.
Secretary Hays Announcement Of the
Presidents Decision.


Secretary Hay has sent the following let
ter to Messrs. Wolf and Levi Of the COM
mittee that called on the President on tbs
18th instant to present the petition OF the
B'nai Birth in behalf Of the Jews in Rus
STA. announcing the Presidents decision al
published in yesterdays Star:
Department of State,
washington, June "a. 1908.
Dear Sir: The President has concluded
to transmit to the Russian government the
petition of which you presented him draft
on the 18th Of this month. The matter
which he had to consider most seriously
was whether or not such a proceeding
would be to the advantage of your perse-
cuted and outraged co-religionists in Rus
STA. On this point he has decided to ac-
cept your opinion, and that of the numer-
Gus and intelligent groups Of American
citizens of the Jewish faith whom you rep
resent. He requests that you will send him
the petition in due form at your earliest
convenience.
"Of course, you will understand that the
President cannot tell you what reception
your petition will meet with at the hands
of the Russian government.
(Signed) JOHN HAY"
This action has been taken after mature
the petition should not be presented, be-
cause it might be resented by the govern
ment of Russia and lead to response that
would cause a breark in the relations OF
the two countries. However, the first con-
clusion has been reconsidered. and by direc-
ton Of the President the petition Will now
go forward. What the result will be Is
problematical AS indicated in the note
from Secretary Hay the presentation will
probably be made to the Russian govern
ment through the United States charge at
st. Petersburg.
The petition which will be transmitted to
the Russian government Is the one which
the executive council Of the B'nat Birth
handed to the President as a tentative
document to be signed by leading citizens
of the United States outside Of federal Of
fice-holders. 1t Is expected that 1t will take
about two weeks to secure these signatures,
work along that line already being in prog.
reSS.
Upon learning that the government of the
United States had decided to forward the
petition to the Russian government Count
Cassini went to the State Department to
see Secretary Hay.

QUIET IN DELAWARE
RELEASE OF coRWELL GAINS
ANGRY ANDEDEsPERArE MOB.
No Punishment Likely for Men Who
aif Il
Burned the Negro White
at Stake.

WILMINGTON, Del, June 2o.-The YER
dict OF the eoronef's jury in the case OF
George White, the negro who was burned
at the stake, and the release of Arthur
CorweL on bail seem to have appeased the
unruly element here. For time last night
there appeared to be danger OF race riots.
but when 1t became generally known that
Corwell had been discharged from custody
all disturbances ceased and everything Is
quiet today.
Corwell protests that he was not present
at the lynching. No other arrests have
been made.
Corwell claims to live in Hartford city,
Ind.
Coroner Mccormick held two sessions In
the inquest on the remains or White yes
terday, the first bringing to light differ
ence of opinion between the coroner and
his deputy, John r. Kilmer, which result
ed in an open clash. K1lmer thought that
Attorney General H. Hh Ward should have
selected the jury, while the coroner main
tanned that the attorney general had no
authority in the matter. The coroner car
ried out his plan and impaneled jury.
Five Pounds Of Flesh.
When the inquest began the remains OF
White could not be found. and after a
long search they were found wrapped In
paper on an Ice chest White weighed
about 200 pounds, but only five pounds Of
flesh and bone were left Of him after the
lynchers had concluded their work.
With the finding Of the remains, the cor
oner discovered that no witnesses were
present. He consulted with his deputy,
who told him he did not approve OF the
haste and Of the manner in selecting the
jury, and. therefore, could give him no
assistance.
Where can get witnesses?" asked the
coroner.
Hunt around" was his deputy's reply.
The coroner replied that he was not going
to let the attorney general run his bus1-
ness, and K11mer retorted that the attor-
ney general was not trying to run the In
quest At this juncture the inquest was
adjourned, to convene at the call OF the
coroner.
Inquest ON Bones. .
Later on the coroner again summoned
the jury and the inquest was held last
liam Carter, newspaper reporter. were
the Witnesses and both testified to the find
ing Of the small portion of the remains Of
the victim Of the mob. Some further testi-
mony was offered, after which the jury
brought in the following verdict:
Resolved. That George White came to
his death between the hours of 10 pm. OF
June %. 1903, and am. Of June %, 1903.
by being burned In field adjoining the
road leading from; Prices Corner to the
Ferris Industrial School. by party or
parties unknown to this jury"
The belief Is growing here that no one
will ever be punished for the work Of the
mob. Certain prominent citizens, although
they deplOre the occurrence stand ready
to raise a fund for the defense of any one
who should be prosecuted for the offense.
