EXPLAINED BY SECRETARY.
Why BIackburn's Mail Was Opened by
 Reckham's Clerk.

Beckham's Clerk.
 Louisville. Ky, Dec. 27.--A special from Frankfort, Ky, says:
 Edward c. Leigh. Secretary to Gov ernor Beckham, when shown the As sociated Press telegram from Washing plaint of the postmaster of Frankfort that mail had been improperly opened. said:
 This probably refers to some let ters that have been dropped into the nostoffce box used by the executive department and the Secretary of States office addressed to Senator Blackburn. A postoffice inspector came to my of flee about ten days ago and explained that Senator Blackburn had made com plaint that his mail had been opened by some one in the executive office.
 'T told him that something like a year ago in a batch of mail there had been a letter for J. c. S Blackburn. which was opened, and when 1t was seen that the letter was not for Gov ernor Beckhari. it was forwarded to the Senator with an explanation. A few weeks ago a similar mistake oe- curred.t
 Still later letter was dropped in the executive box with a Courier-Jour- nal address on the outside. This was discovered before 1t was opened and forwarded 1t to Washington. I told the inspector that these letters came by due course of mail and that there was every reason to believe that they were intended for the executive office. The inspector expressed himself. as sat- lsfied wich the explanation.
 T suppose that the similarity in ap- pearance of the names If J. c. S. Black burn and J. c. W. Beckham caused the local postal clerks to drop the Sena- tors mail in the box" ~

OLD SORES RE-OPENED
COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA AGAIN
 ARE AT OUTS.
Castro Recalls COnsufs Because of the Escape of General MoHtiIIa Prom the Colombian
 Authorities.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Serious trouble has again broken out between Colombia and Venezuela, according to able ad- vices received at the State Department today from Bogota.
 It appears that one of President Cas- tro's generals named Montilla, stationed near the border, finding himself dis liked by President Castro, fled across the border into Colombia to place called Cuculata. The Venezuelan con- sul there demanded his arrest and that he be delivered to the Venezuelan au- thorities. This demand was transmit ted to BoCcta. and the Colombian Gov ernment instructed the local authorities to arrest the man and send him to the capital pending extradition proceed ings.
 But, in the meantime and before this order reached the local authorities, MontilIa made his escape. and has not vet been found President Castro was greatly angered at this, and promptly recalled the Venezuelan consul from Bosota-
 The diplomatic relations between Co., iombia and Venezuela were just on the point of being re-establfshed. so that this last action Is equivalent to complete rupture.
 It is believed here. however. that when President Castro learns that the Colombian Government was not at fault, the present trouble will be averted.

 Wife Of Howard.


 St. Louis. Dec, 27-In to-day's pro- case af Mrs Mary Leafgreen, who is suing for one-half of the s5oO.009 es- tate of Laclede J. Howard on the con tention that she was his wife. William D. Brandon took the stand and testi- fled that he saw Mrs. Leafgreen and Howard conversing together in a prom inent dry goody store here In 1903. He testified that both seemed excited and the woman had apparently been crying. When shown a photograph of Laclede J. Howard, he identified 1t as picture of the man he saw talking to Mrs. Leaf green that day.
 The affidavit of Thomas Jefferson Miller, Mayor of Tumwater. Wasiln., who ayers that he married Mrs. Mary Leafgreen in Decatur. Ills, in 1883 un- der the name of Henry Howard, was read in court. In the affidavit Miller states that under the name of Henry Howard he met Mary Moore, now Mrs. Leafgreen. and they were married at Decatur, III. in 1883. Later they sep- arated largely because he was afraid of Mir. Lockwood. his wife's step-father.
 The affidavit further set forth that in 1890 he married Hattie K. Stewart, believing that his first marriage was not binding as he had mt been married under his right name. Learning from Attorney Johnson that his first wife was living and his second marriage in1egal, re separated from his second wife and instituted suit for divorce from the first, intending to marry the second as soon as the divorce was se- cured.

Bernhardt Would Make International
 Matter of Theatrical Syndicate.

Matter of Theatrical Syndicate.
 Washington, Dec. 27.-Through her managers, sam and R. Lee Schubert. Sarah Bernhardt, who is on a farewell tour of this country. today appealed to MT. Jusserand, the French Ambassador. to protest against which she terms a discrimination of the so-called theat- licaI syndicate against her as a citizen of France.
 Charles w. Strine. general represen- tatlve of Mme. Bernhardt. who came to this city from New York today for the purpose, conferred with the Am bassador. He represented that com mercial interests were against the ac- tress because of the opposition of her managers to the so-called syndicate, and that the alleged discrimination bar ring her from theatres in Texas and Louisiana not only affected her, but a large number of French people in New Orleans. .+
 Attention was called to the John Doe proceedings. now being brought against so-called syndlcates in New York City by District Attorney Jerome, and MT. Jusserand was asked to voice in those proceedings a protest against the all legged discrimination against the &C., treSS.
 MT. Strine alleges that the actress was originally booked in syndicate theatres. but that the latter recently withdrew those bookings and urged that the French authorities protest against such an action. Ambassador Jusserand asked for a complete record of the case, and stated that he will then review the matter with a view to possible instructions to the French Consul in New York to tal-e any action the latter may deem expedient.
