publicans of Pennsylvania.
I'm their convention they have an

them by coupling with the endorse
ment of the administration of Theo-
dore Roosevelt the suggestion of my
name as his successor.
Il note the conventions reference
to the fact that as attorney general |

too profound a sense of the dignity
of the chief magistraey and too in
innate a knowledge of its labors and
RESPONSIBILITIES to have sought this en-
dorsement.

of its import.

WHY MCCLELLAN
OPPOSES BILL
FOR RECOUNT
Mayor Says II Is Dishonest and An
Unfair Measure, ON Its
Face.

NEW YORK. June . 6.-Mayor
George b. Mcclellan today made
public his message to the state legis-
lature in opposition to the bill passed
for a recount of the votes in the last
mayoralty election in this city 1t
was announced at the city hall that
Patrick f. MCGOWAN, president of
the board of aldermen, who presided
at the public hearing on the recount
measure here this week, would send
his veto of the bill to Albany tomor-
row.
THE bill is on its face" says May
or Mcclellan in his message, dis
honest and unfair"
Henotes the failure to provide for
a full recount of all the votes and de-
clares that he, as a successful can
didate, is denied the right of ask
ing for recount in a single one of
the districts other than those named
in the bill.
'makes it possible to overthrow the
squarest and fairest election ever
held, provided only the plurality is
small enough to make such an at
tempt worth while.
MIR. Hearst neither in his origi-
nal contest nor by means of proposed
legislation, such as this bill, has
ever sought a recount or recanvass
of the whole vote, but has continu-
ously aimed at partial recanvass of
those district where he received such
pluralities

west of Walla Walla. She seems to
be above hatred of the man who
killed her husband, and her CONVEX
sation would indicate that she has
forgiven him.
AS to Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, she expressed no opinion, say
ing she had not thought of their con-
nection with the case. She is leading
a secluded life, spending most of
her time reading the Bible and other
religious works. Her eyesight is
poor, she says, and she prefers to
read something that will do her good
rather than the reports of the trial,
which she says tend to excite rather
than satisfy. She shuns publicity,
saying that her statements are often
put in the wrong light, though she
does not avoid the subject of the
death of her husband when 1t is
preached to her She said today:
THE trial of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone is the commencement of
national struggle between the United
States government and organized la
Dor and will eventually lead to a re-

both sides and act as he considered
right. When the trouble did arise,
Mr.. Steunenberg was greatly worried
and one evening after he had made
his final stand, he told me he thought
it would cost him his life.
The thought that his life was at
stake did not influence him i'll the
least in what he thought was right.
After completing his term as COVER
nor he never believed his life was in
danger, and l had practically forgot
ten the ordeal through which he had
passed, as | believed he had. His
assassination was terrible shick.
Since his death | have learned
that there were several attempts
made on Mr.. Steunenberg's life be-
fore the horrible deed was actually
committed. AT one time Orchard
was hiding behind some rose bushes
in our front yard with the intention
of shooting my husband when he re-
turned home in the evening. When
he finally arrived his brother was
with him, and Orchard, thinking it
was Mr. Steunenberg's son, allowed
him to pass unframed. One night
Mr. Steunenberg, our daughter and
myself were at home when we were
badly frightened by someone prowl-
ing around the house. We learned
afterward that it was Orchard, who
was there with the intention of shoot
ing Mr.. Steunenberg.

DISCUSSES THE
RELATIONS OF
VENEZUELA
President Castro Finds Country Is
at Outs With Only Few
Powers.

CARACAS, Saturday, June l. via.
Curacao. June 6.-President Castro,
whose strength is returning gradual
ly, attended congress today and read
his message to that body. Referring
to the foreign relations of the repub-
lie of Venezuela, the president said:
q am pleased to inform you that
our political relations with friendly
countries are increasingly cordial.
The labors of this government are
perVaded by a spirit of harmony and
courtesy With firm and sure steps
We are treadins the path OF law and
honor and We are relfglously obsery-
ing our engagements with foreign
countries. This governments inter
course with the diplomatic represent
tatiVes here is therefore perfectly
cordial
Within a short period claims of
Germany, Great Britain and Italy,
which were given preference at The
Hague, will be fully paid. As soon
as these are settled the appropriation
to meet them will be employed to
pay the remainder of the claims
against Venezuela. Details of this
matter will be found in the year
book.
Il regret to inform you that diplo-
matte relations with Colombia have
not been renewed. The correspond
ence on this subject will prove that
the failuure to execute the stipula-
lions OF the renewal is not attribu-
table to Venezuela; we are. still en-
deayoring to realize our conciliatory
and fraternal purposes and this in
spite of The inyasions proceeding
from Colombia territory.
The year book sets forth the
causes of the continuance of the in
terrnption Of diplomatic relations
with France This does not imply
that Venezuela has ceased her efforts
tending To the renewal of these re-
lations. 1t is not and never was the
fault of Venezuela that relations
with France We're not maintained up
on proper footing. Our relations
with Great Britain, Germany and
Italy continue upon the same harmo-
NOUS basis as since their renewal,
and the diplomatic representatives of
these countries in Caracas contribute
to harmony.
Equally cordial and mutually adj
vantageous are the relations with
Trinidad. This is due to the cour-
tesy and upright procedure of the
government of that island and the
strict observance of instructions on
the part of our consulS.
Our intercourse with the United
States is entirely cordial since we
had the pleasure of receiving in this
capitol w. w. Russell, the American
plenipotentiary. This distinguished
diplomat has conducted the affairs of
his government with us in an affabe
and conciliatory manner, thus con-
tributing to remove the unpleasant
ness with that government caused by
the discussion of certain matters
with certain citizens.
In 1905 Venezuela signed with
Brazil TWO protocols determining the
territorial limits Of each country.
Our relations with Spain, Hol-
land Switzerland and Belgium con-
tinue admirable"

The county commissioners held a
meeting yesterday forenoon and took
up the matter of the storing of ex-
plosives within the city's boundaries.
They were of one opinion that some
action should be taken toward pre-
venting the storing of combustible
materials within the city limits.
The outcome of the discussion was
the unanimous adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution:
"A petition being filed June 6,
1907, with the board of county COM
missioners. praying that the storage
of gunpowder andother explosive and
combustible materials be prohibited
within the limits of the town of Ely,
and it appearing therefrom that the
same is signed by more than 10 per
cent of the residents of the said
town of Ely, said 10 per cent being
computed from the number of per-
sons paying taxes in said town of
Ely according to the last preceding
. assessment roll; it is, therefore, now
ordered unanimously by said board
of county commissioners of White

BALLOTS WILL
BE PRINTED
FOR ELECTION

There are evidently no further
candidates for office for the coming
city election on the 18th inst. Yes
terday was given as the last day dur
ing which certificates of nomination
could be filed, but County Clerk
Miles received none. H. A. Comins
filed his certificate of nomination for
the office of mayor ON the 4th of the
month.
There are some matters relating to
the coming election that have net
been definitely settled is yet. On
May 29th County Clerk Miles sent
written communication to DistriI 1T
torney Eddy asking him for an opin-
ion on three points. The first was
whether he was required under the
law to record and file in his Office
certificates of nomination, and if SO,
whether he would be required t file
certificates of nomination that might
be presented less than thirty days be-
fore the election.
The second point was whether lie
should have printed the regular no.
tice concerning the election, and he
last question was whether he should
have printed sample and regular bal
lots.
The substance of the district at
tornye's opinion was as follows:
ut is my opinion you are not re-
CURED to do anything not authorized
by said incorporation act, and that
any citizen may be voted for al the
said election, even should his name
lot appear upon the official ballot,
but that at. the election anyone has
the right to place any name upon
said ballot at the time he votes
Mr.. Miles met with the committee
appointed by the county commission
ers to prepare the call for the cleo
ton and it was decided to have bal
lots printed.

years yesterday afternoon.
The day was as fine as could be de-

clouds came up in the west, which i'll
a very short time presented the city
with hail stones and rain galore.
OF course the size of the stones
vary considerably, according to the

heard it reported that some were as
large as goose eggs, but will not
