Left without Ceremony.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-Pubhc opinion on the sudden departure of Dr.. von Holleben has settled down to the view that he was recalled by the Ber- lin government for req sons which are apparent ill the state of affairs with re- gard to Venezuela and also for reasons which are more remote. The just esti- mate of affairs is that Dr. von Holleben is himself probably to blame for what has now come upon him.
 The state department is informed that Baron Speck von Sternburg is to come to Washington as a minister on spe- cial mission. Meanwhile Herr von Hol- leben, the present ambassador, who has been granted invalid leave, is not ex- pected to return to Washington from Germany. He left the city without say ing farewell to the president or to Sec retary Hay, but it is understood by both that the ambassador is very ill, and his condition is accepted as suffi- cient excuse for any omission of form.

BESSEMERITES
 ARE FEELING SORE
BILL FOR DEPRIVlNG TOWN OF CIVIL JURISDICTION IS ALMOST CERTAIN TO PASS THE LEGls- LATURE.

Bessemer, September 16-(Specia1.)-Th Bessemer people are feeling sore at the treatment they have received at the hands of the legislature.
