Willemstad. Island of Curacao, Sept.
21.-The steamer Maracaibo has just ar
rived here from Venezuela with a num-
Der of foreign notabilities on board.
They report that the Caracas press is
still fiercely attacking the foreign and

pires. Yesterday it was Belgium. To-
day it is Mexico.

an act of lese patrie.' in going to

Besides this. menacing letters were
sent to the members of the Mexican
Commission and a popular demonstra-
tion against the commissioners having
been premeditated, the Mexican Com
mission withdrew the invitations to
the ball so as not to cause a conflict.
Some idea of the tone of the press
against foreigners can be gathered
from the following. Ell Combate of
Caracas, after criticising all the UNI
pires, said:
Let them with imDious hands rife

the smiles of our women and the
friendly words of our daughters. Let

1t is known that Lord Miner, the Brit

Premier Balfour's private secretary in

probably due the delay.
Well informed persons express the
opinion that Lord Selborne will remain

LORE ON LYNCHING

Is Now Confronted with the Crime
and Must Meet It-AII Good Citf-
zens Must Regard 1t as Brutal
Crime and FIaErnnt Violation of
Lnw-LOre Asks That Its Authors
He Dealt with.
Wilmington, Del, Sept. 21.-Chief
Justice Lore of the Delaware Supreme
Court to-day delivered a strong charge
to the grand jury. which is considering
the criminal work of the county
courts. After reciting the details of
the murder on June is of Helen Bish-
op by George White and the subse-
quent lynching of White by a mob
Justice Lore said:
I'VE have heard of lynching as a
punishment for horse stealing in the
South and the West, and for homicides,
rapes and other crimes elsewhere: but
we fattered ourselves that such scenes
could not occur in our community,
composed as it is, largely of that good
old English stock whose obedience to
law has been one of the secrets of our
civilization and of the safety of our
people. We are now confronted, how
ever. with this crime and must meet
it. Shall we invite it's visitation in the
future by acquiescence in it's perpe-
tration or make such crime hereafter
improbable, if not impossible. by deal
ing out adequate punishment?
mo good citizen, we are persuaded.
can regard the lynching of George
White in any other light than as a
brutal crime, and as a fragrant viola
ton of law.
Duty to See Law Obeyed.
Gentlemen, in this country, we make
the laws; they are our will formally
expressed. 1t is the duty of every good
man to obey the law himself and to see
that 1t is obeyed by others as far as
he may. Lynching is a. crime against
the law of both God and man. Every
wilful participant in such an act is a
murderer. No man has a right to COM
init a crime because he believes or
fears that some other person who is
entrusted with the execution of the law
will fail, or has failed in the perforiE-
ance of his duty.
''Lynching and mob law, their pro-
motors and encouragers, whether they
be Of high or low degree, should receive
no favor at the hands of thoughtful ard
patriotic men. There must be govern
ment or no government. The line of
cleavage Is clear. All history teaches
that the prevalence of mob law is the,
end of free government. Obedience to
law is the life breath of our republic.
''In obedience to the oath you have
taken and to your duty to your state
we ask you to so act that the crime
of lynching may be suppressed in this
state, so far as by your action that
end may be attained. and that the per-
petrators of this crime and the authors
of the disgrace that has come upon US
through their crime, shall be dealt with
according to their just merits"

FORMER BANDIT
CHARGED WITH THEFT.

Nevada, Mo-, Sept ia charge Of
embezzlement of $4,000 has been made
against Cole Younger, former bandit,
by the management of a Wild West
show with which Frank James and
Younger have been associated since
shortly after Younger's pardon from
the Minnesota penitentiary where he
was serving a life sentence.

brought action for damage against the
management because, as they allege,
the show proprietor failed to equip the
aggregation according to contract and
refused to drive away the gambling
element that followed the show. Both
James and Younger assert there is
nothing in. the embezzlement charges
which they say is retaliatory.

by Italian laborers on the Oneonta,

telephone message to Oneonta brought
Receiver Jennings, General Manager
Tilton and several deputies. When they
set about removing the obstruction, the

and throwing stones. Mr.. Tilton and
a deputy were wounded. Deputies and
employees of the road returned the fire

went into the receivers hands, but
which cannot be paid while the road is
in litigation.
