letter from the former British minister

alleged Illegal detention of the British
schooner Harry Troop by the Nene-
zuelan government i'm an unhealthy
place from May 10 November. 1902.
whereby the crew were decimated by
dysenrery. Mr.. Haggard said in this
letter.
II regret TO say that it would appear
that I placed too much faith in the
complete accuracy Of the statements
OF the secretary of the United States
legation. w. W. Russell. as 10 the im-
pTOyement i'm the condition Of the Har-
~ Troop. etc. when he saw her. These
statements may probably be accounted
for by the facts which appear In-
doubted, that Mr.. Bowen was most
anxious. for reasons best known TO
himself TO represent the conduct Of
the Venezuelan authorities ia the most
favorable light possible and that he
had inspired his subOrdinates I'm -he
same direction. To put IL briefly. Mr.
Russell did not dare to say a word

dent Castro's mode Of proceeding"

SOCIALISTS IN
HOT CONFLICT
"Uncrowned King" Is Kissed
by His Own Followers.
UNYIELDING F A c 7 O N
Just as the Party Is Growing
Quarrels Arises.
UNYIELDING F AC 7 | 0 N

Berlin, Aug. 2e.-Herren Beble, the So
cialist leader, called the "Uncrowned
King" by the Socialist Democrats, was
Missed at the Social Democratic conven-
ton held in Berlin this week during a
controversy over the reichstag vice-presi-
dency question. This indicates the in
tensity of the factional struggle which is
going on in the party during the period
of its greatest triumph, and which Will
be fought out in the party's national con-
vention at Dresden in September. 1t is
a renewal of the Bebel-B Bernstein dispute
of 1901. Herren Beble and Singer and the
old-time party chiefs who follow doc
trinaire aims are rigid in their deter
mination not to deport from the ideas on
which the party has gdown powerful,
while Herr Bernstein, who is an oppor-
tunist, and moderate, favors a division
of the social program, especially so tina;
the party, recognizing the existing con-
ditions, may combine with and utilize the
political elements so as to secure a partial
realization of its aims.
Herr Bernstein has announced that it
would be a good party stroke to demand
the office of first vice-president of the
reichstag, instead of accepting a lower
vice-presidency, the Socialists being the
next most numerous body to the center
party. Herren Beble and Singer, however,
said no, since a vice-presidency of the
reichstag would involve a compromise
with the monarchy and it would be nee
essary for a Socialist holding office to
wait on the sovereign and congratulate
him on the new year and other occasions
Ito crawl on his stomach before the rep
resentatives of European just institu-
tons" They added that the vice-presi-
dency would also involve compromise
with other parties, entail responsibilities
outside the Socialist sphere and limit the
weapons and resources of the opposition.
Herr Bernstein is Joined in his stand
by the aristocrat, Won Voltmar, and the
able writer Davif, who affirm it is time
the party grasped some of the agencies of
government and prepared for the day it
will take over the whole of them, adding
that responsibilities should be sought for.
not evaded They declare that a Socialist
in the presence of the sovereign need only
act as a gentleman without modifying
his opinions.
Behind the vice-presidency question are
two tendencies TO be either a great lib
eral party, postponing insistence on it's
theoretical views of government until
conditions ripen, or standing steadfasly
by Socialist principles, without yielding
a little to conventional practices and
compromises. Herren Beble, Bernstein,
Singer and Won Valtmar affirm that they
will strive to preserve party unity, and
say that the glee of the ministerial con-
servatives and members of the party over
the divisions of the Socialists are un-
timely and exaggerated

HITCHCOCK ON HIS EAR.
What He Says About Oklahoma and
Her Troubles.

Guthrie, o. T.. Aug "a special to
the New York World from Washington
says:
Secretary Hitchcock declares that amaz-
ing corruption exists among local officials
in oklahoma and other places where
there are Indian lands for disposition.
The ire of the secretary has been raised
by the publication Of a statement that
formal charges had been filed against
him with the president alleging that he
is keeping the money derived from the
sale of town lots in Lawton. Hobart.
and Anadarko, Oklahoma, on deposit in
the Union Trust Company, of St Louis,
an institution in which he and his friends
terest therefrom.
''The statement that the money Is on
deposit with the Union Trust Company
is false: the assertion that I am a stock
holder in that or any ther trust cmpany
is equally false, said Mr. Hitchcock
today. Every cent of the money is IN
the sub-treasury in st. Louis. It is there
because the law has not been compiled
with by the county commissioners Of the
three counties Of Lawton. Hobart and
enadarko are the sea-s.
Contracts have been let for various
public improvements. and fraudulent
vouchers for fraudulent work done
under the contracts have been received
at this Office, but they have all been dis
allowed because the evidence Of corrup-
ton has been so strong. The people of
Oklahoma have put into Office some of
the most careless. Il not corrupt, men
I have ever encountered. The result OF
the action Of the Interior Department is
that many OF the school houses. bridges
and other public works have been torn
down. The contractors have not resolved
a penny and they will not until therc
has been an honest competition and the
work has been honestly dore.

Rural Carriers Would Devise Means
for Mutual Assistance.

Wellington Kan. Aug. 29-The six rural
route carriers OF the Wellington postoffice
have issued a call for a meeting of all
the carriers of the county. to be held at
the court house in tbs city on September
6. at o'clock p. m. The object of the
meeting as stated in the call is to devise
plans for better cooperation and mutual
assistance. As a matter of fact an i'm
portant subject that will come up for dis
cussion incidentally, of course) is the
matter of increased pay. The carriers
feel that considering the expense of keep
ing a team they are not paid enough for
their work Government employees are
not allowed to hold meetings whose de
clared object is to kick" for better pay.
They can only make representations
through the heads of their departments,
and are not allowed to air their griev-
ances directly by petition.
