Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 19.-The Re-
publican state convention nominated
for associate justice of the supreme
court, John 3. Barnes of Madison coun-
ty, and for regents of the state uni
versity, Charles S. Allen of Lancaster

afternoon the convention transacted
it's business and was ready to adjourn
three hours later.
President Roosevelt received the
heartiest commentator and a dec
laration was made for his renomina-
ton.
The unexpected feature of the con-
vention was the adoption by unani-
nous vote of a resolution declaring
John L. Webster Of Omaha, one of the
delegates to the convention and one
of the we'll known party leaders Of
the state, to be the choice of Nebras-
ka for vice president in 1904. Mr.
Webster expressed his thanks for the
honor in speech Of considerable
length.
The report from the committee on
resolutions was adopted without a
change.
The platform begins. with congratu-
lations on the overthrow of Bryanism

RELIANCE MUST ALLOW SHAM
ROCK A MINUTE AND FORTY.
FIVE SECONDS.
EXPRESS LITTLE SURPRISE
EXPERTS HAD BELIEVED AMER.
!CAA YACHT THE LARGER
! ALL AROUND.

New York, Aug. 19:-Reliance and
Shamrock III were measured Tuesday
in the Erie basin by c. E. Mower, Of
fetal measurer of the New York Yacht
club. 1t was announced at night that
Reliance would allow the challenger
l minute and As seconds over a thirty
mile course
It was found that Shamrock III was
slightly longer on the water line than
the American boat, but the latter
proved to have nearly 1000 more
square feet of sail area than the chal-
lenger and it was this that taxed the
American boat so heavily in the mat
ter of time allowance
The announcement of time allowance
in favor of the challenger caused lit
tie surprise at the yacht club, as it
was the very general belief that the
Reliance would prove considerably
larger all around than her opponent
The following are the official figures,
those of the Reliance being first and
the Shamrock last:
Water line 1886 feet, 1881 feet;
base line, 201.75, 1854; foreside of
mast, 1929. 81.4O; spinnaker boom,
s3.75, s1-4G; main gaff, 1870, 65.75;
topmast, 700, S915: sail area, 49,
1898 square feet, 14,33745 square
feet; sailing length. 108.41 feet, 1O4.77
feet: men on board, ga. S.
Reliance and Shamrock III swing at
their mornings inside Sandy Hook,
ready for the international contest for
the Americas cup, the first race Of
which will be sailed on Thursday. The
cleaning of the underbodies of both
was completed Tuesday morning, and
Charles D. Mower the official meas
urer of the New York Yacht club,
measured both boats. AS one result
eight inches of the end of the spinaker
boom of Shamrock III was sawed off,
owing to the fact that it was estimated
to be that much longer than the base
of the forward triangle, which covers
the headsails of the yacht, which
would mean penalization, if allowed to
stand. Sir Thomas Upton, Mr.. Iselin,
Designer Herreshoff and Designer Fife
were interested spectators of the work

MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
Cleveland PatroIman Finds Two Dead
Bodies.

Cleveland, O., Aug. ia mys-
ferrous shooting which blotted out two
lives occurred in the southern portion
of the city at a late hour last night.
Shortly after 10 o'clock a patrolman
walking on Broadway heard two re-
volver shots in the direction of Ash
bel street. Following the sound, he
stumbled over the body of we'll
dressed man, about twenty-four years
of age, with revolver lying near
him. Close by lay the body of an at
tractive appearing young woman Both
were dead, the woman shot through
the right temple, the man with a bull
let hole behind the left ear.
No one in the neighborhood knew
either of the dead people. The police
incline to the theory that it was a case
of murder and suicide. Up to a late
hour the bodies had not been identi-
fed

Seattle Meeting Promises to Be the
Largest in Its History.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. 19.-The four
teenth annual session Of the Trans
mississippi congress opened in Seat
tie Tuesday under the most favorable
auspices, and the leaders say the meet.
Ing promises to be the most produc-
tive and largest since the organization
OF the congress. The session was oc.
cupled largely with the reading of pa.
pers and the discussion of the various
IDEAS which they called forth. One Of
the most striking addresses of the day
was that of F. B. Thurber, president
OF me United States Export associa-
tlon: he supported the protective idea
OF PRESIDENT Mckinley and urged the
necessity Of wider markets. He de-
clared that the great theater of CON-
merclal activity in the future is des-
tined to be the Orient, and spoke of
transportation as one of the pressing
problems. He said that the organiza
tlon OF trusts is the inevitable result
or development, and that their pres
ent evils will in time be righted by
the same growth.
United States Senator Reed Smoot
OF Utah was among the speakers. The
session of the congress will continue
for three days. The question of the
consolidation of the Transmississippi
congress with the National Irrigation
association, which has been proposed,
Will probably be discussed today.

FOREIGNERS AT CIUDAD BOLIVAR
MENT OF TAXES.
IGNORED CASTRO'S DECREE
VENEZUELAN GUNROAT ExKCTS
IMMENSE FORCED CONTRLBU-
TlONs AND FINES.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Aug. d.
Authentic information was received
Tuesday announcing the Imprisonment
of French, German and Italian mer-
chants at Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela.
(Which port was recently recaptured
from the rebels by President Castro's
troops) for refusing President Cas-
tro's demand for the repayment of
taxes, already paid to the de facto
government. President Castro de-
mands the payment of arrears for the
period OF occupation of Ciudad Bolivar
ny the revolutionary government. The
amount demanded exceeds S65OOO.
Inc merchants refused to recognize
President Castro's decree abolishing
cludad Bolivar as a port of entry and
declined to ship goods via Carupano
me Venezuelan gunboat Miranda
went to the district of Nutrias, exact
Ing from the merchants forced contri-
buttons and fines amounting to another
S5OO0O. The goods imported during
the revolutionary regime we're con-
Hscated and double duties we're i'm
posed. 1t is reported that President
Castro has threatened to annihilate
viz NODlIllS1CS anu SEp6l luS foreign
community of Guyana, on the
Orinoco.
A reign Of terror prevails throughout
the district owing to the extortion,
threats and barbarities of the party in
power. The entire region of the ORR
noco teens with produce accumulated
during the past two years for which
there are no adequate shipping facili-
ties. The native and German firms q
Caracas appear to be seeking to con-
troll the entire Orinoco import trade.
There IS no money in the Orinoco
country and the distress is very great.
All the American river boats and in
terests up the Orinoco are at a stand
still, being unable to move in conse-
quence of President Castro's deter
mlnaton to destroy the trans-ship-
ment trade in American and European
goods between Trinidad and the ORR
nOco river country.
