THE PERSIAN
 AUTOCRACY
  Will Probably Succeed Con- StitutiOndI Government
The Shah Aided by Russia is Acting With High Hand.

London, June 26.-The Times Te- heran correspondent says that the shah's proclamation declares that Per sia has been under martial law from June 22 and gives General kikhOff, commander of the COssacks, a free hand to deal severely with the people. The assembling of people and carrying of arms are prohibited under pain of death. Several members of the as- sembly are in chains in the royal camp. The others are scattered and their whereabouts are unknown.
 The number of prisoners in the camp are increasing hourly. Those detained are being subjected to the worst or deals. Messages from the provinces are being censored, thus severing the provinces from communication with the capital.
 It is difficult to pass judgment as yet, the Times correspondent adds, and undoubtedly popular feeling over what is regarded here as the inactivity of Great Britain and the activity of Rus sia, will probably restore the shah's autOcracy.
 The correspondent also says it is re- ported from Tabriz that the governor of that city has taken refuge in the Russian consulate here.

ROBBERY NOT
 REVOLUTION A Bandit Attack On a Mex
 iCdn Town The A flair Assumed the Proportions of a Bat tie.

City of Mexico. June 2G.-The wild stories concerning a formidable and serious revolutionary outbreak in the northern part of Mexico are wholly discredited today by telegraphic re ports received from Governor Carde- mas of the state of Coahuila. Ac- cording to the telegraphic advices received by Vice President Corral today one of the boldest bandit raids ever attempted in the history of Mexico was successfully carried out when the town of Viesca was as saulted and footed yesterday.
 The bandits, numbering fifty, all well armed and mounted, swooped down upon the town without warn ing A feeble resistance was made by the police of the place, but after three were killed and three wounded, the marauders practically had things their own way. They first proceeded to the jail, releasing all the inmates, some of whom joined the robbers. The bandits next headed for the Bank of Nueva Leon, a branch of the main institution of that name, located in the city of Monterey. They soon overpOwered the employees there and then robbed the bank of all the money they could get at. The sum is not stated in the dispatches.

Now That the Holiday Incident to the Yale
 Commencement is Ended
The Candidate for President Arrives at New York Where He Engages In Conferences With Political Friends.

New York, June 26.-Secretary Taft has passed from pleasure to politics. The change came between New Haven and New York City. After bidding farewell at New Haven to some of his oldest friends, he boarded the 3:51 train for New York City. The trip was quite uneventful. After reading for a time the secre- tary chatted incidentally with one or two acquaintances whom he met. He was unaccompanied except by a newspaper friend.
 At Grand Central station he was met by James T. Williams jr., a member of the political staff at Washington, who accompanied him to a hotel. As the secretary left the station for the street he was given a cordial greeting by hundreds of people who had assembled to see him. once more he was the presi- dential candidate, not merely "Bill' Taft of Yale. The secretary was driven directly from the station to the Manhattan.
 Shortly after ' o'clock, accompa- nied by Jacob c. Schmidlap of Gin cinnati, he left the hotel for the St. Regis. where he dined as the guest of MT. Schmidlap. It had been ar ranged that General Wright, who will succeed Taft on Wednesday, and Clarence Edwards, chief of the bu- reau of insular affairs, should be guests at the dinner, but they did not arrive in time. Those who at tended the dinner beside Taft and Schmidlap, were A. c. Coffin, head of the General Electric company, and Ralph Peters, president of the Long Island Railroad company Both are old friends of the secretary.
 Among those who paid respects to him was John Hays Hammond. His conversation with Taft was personal. Soon after the secretary reached his apartments he had a conference with President Booker T. Washington of TuslIegee Institute.
 Washington came to attend a meet ing of the board of trustees of the institution. He asked Taft to deliver at least two formal addresses during the approaching campaign, particu- larly to the negroes of America. No definite conclusion was reached, but it is not unlikely that at least one address of the kind indicated may be delivered by the secretary before the close of the campaign.
 General Wright arrived at the

THE WAITING POLICY
 OF U. $ GOVERNMENT
There Have So Far Been no Changes
 in the Venezuelan Affair.

Washington. June 26.-The state department is marking time in the Venezuelan question. The events which have occurred have produced a situation which promises little change. for some time and the gov ernment is merely waiting the course of events.
 The gunboat Marietta will leave Curacao tomorrow with Jacob Sleep CT. secretary of the American em- bassy at Caracas, and Lieut.. Ruggles. military attache, as passengers. Senor Veloz Getoicia, the Venezuelan charge in Washington, remains in the city. but tomorrow he will take up his residence in the suburbs where he will continue to be in close touch with the state department if neces- sary.
 Nothing has been learned at the Venezuelan legation today concerning the events at Caracas, so that no new light could be shed upon the diplomatic tangle involving the two countries.

The Last Scene Was Marked By No Fu-
 nereaI POmp
The Rites the Presbyterian Church Were Read and a Poem Descriptive of the Character of the Former Head of the Nation.

, Princeton University faculty, friends, ana neighbOrs. Cleveland was buried with all the simplicity and privacy he himself might have wlsneu as pri- Vate citizen. rather than as the form CT chief executive of the nation.
 There was nothing that savored of the official and the military element was injection solely as a measure of protection to President Roosevelt The president arrived at 4:SS this afternoon and was met at the station by Gov. Fort The president, Governor Fort, and Secretary Loeb, were driven at once to Westland. Upon their arriv- al at the house the president went to Mrs Cleveland, offering his sympathy and expressing keen regret at Cleve- lands death. The president then re- turned to the reception room where the body had been removed in the af- ternoon from the room on the second floor in which Cleveland died.
 4 few minutes later the four clergy men who officiated. came down the stairs leading to the reception room, followed by Mrs. Cleveland and the children, Esther and Richard. As they appeared on the landing, accom- panied by Dr. Joseph D. Bryant. the whsie company rose and remained standing throughout the services. Mrs. Cleveland was gowned in black, and wore a becoming hat with a short dropping veil Esther was also in black. and Richard wore a white suit and black tie.
 The services began with an invO- cation by Rev. Sylvester w. Beach, of the First Presbyterian church, of Princeton. which was followed by

scriptural reading by Rev. Maitland V. Bartlett, of West Farms Presby- terian church, of New York, the form CT pastor of Cleveland, who read from the Fourteenth Chapter of the Book of John and a number of passages from the Fourth and Twenty second Chapt- CTS of Thessalonians.
 pr. Henry Van Dyke then said. According to the request of one whose slightest wish at this moment we all respect, there will be no address or sermon, but there was a poem written more than a hundred years ago by William Wordsworth, which is express sive of his character" He then read the poem, Character of the Happy Warrior" This was followed by read ings from the Presbyterian book of common worship, and the services at the house were concluded with prayer.
 The services were concluded at 5:30 and five minutes later the casket had been tenderly carried to the hearse and the procession started on the way to the cemetery Along the streets from the house to the cemetery, na- tional guardsmen, mounted and on foot. policed the way. As Roosevelt passed through the gate leading from the Westland grounds, the militiamen presented arms, and the president doffed his hat in recognition.
 The pall-bearers, six on either side, marched with the procession as it wended slowly down Bayard Lane to Nassau street and along the main thOroughfare of the town. Business had been suspended during the af- ternoon and the curtains were drawn in many houses. Silent crowds stood with barred heads as the procession passed along into Vandeventer avenue The bell in the tower of old Nassau Hall tolled mournfully.
 The route led over Wiggans street to the cemetery. which was reached a few minutes before six o'clock The members of the family alighted from their carriages and with the four clergynen in the lead, walked slowly down the path to the open grave and the rose strewn grave of Ruth, both almost hidden in a profusion of green boughs and flowers.
 Mrs. Cleveland stood with Esther and Richard and Dr. Bryant, as the coffin was lowered into the grave.

Manhattan shortly after o'clock directly from his home in Memphis. A few minutes afterwards Gen. Ed wards arrived from Washington ac- companied by Frank B. Kellogg, re- publican national committeeman from Minnesota, and special counsel for the government in the proceedings against the Standard Oil company. He will go to Oyster Bay tomorrow and have conference with President Roosevelt, although not directly con nected with the party of Taft.
 Secretary COrtelyou was also a guest at the Manhattan tonight. He saw Taft late in the evening but the conversation was purely personal Tomorrow morning Taft, Wright and Edwards will take an early train for Oyster Bay to confer with the pres ident. Taft hopes to conclude his talk with Roosevelt in time to enable him to return to Washington tOmOr- row night.

Pinceton. June 26.-Grover CleVe- lands body lies buried tonight in the Cleveland plot in Princeton cemetery. At 6 o'clock, just as the sun was sink ing in the west, distinguished com pany silently watched the body low cred into the grave Then the simple burial service of the Presbyterian church was read before the last carri- ages of the cortege were driven up to the path leading to the burial place. the benediction had been pro- nounced and the members of the fam iIy. President Roosevelt and others, who had gathered about the grave, were leaving the cemetery.
 Many personal friends of the dead statesman fingered about the spot which is to mark his last resting place. and each in turn was permitted to cast a shovelful of earth into the grave.
 Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs. Cleveland. the services, both at the house and the cemetery, were of the simplest character. An invocation and scriptural reading, brief prayer and the reading of William Wordsworth's s poem. Character of the Happy War rior." constituted the services at the house while the reading of the burial service at the grave was brief and impressive ceremony. Although the funeral was strictly of a private na- ture. those in attendance numbered many distinguished citizens, including President Roosevelt, Governors Fort, of New Jersey; Hughes, of New York; and Smith, of Georgia: former mem bers of President Clevelands cabinet, and officials Of the Equitable Life As surance Society. and members of

A SEPARATE AFFAIR.

Fl PasO, June 26.-A special dis patch received here says a band of Mexican revolutionists attacked the town of Los Vitacas early today and some of the revolutionists are be- lieved to have crossed into Texas.
 A Texas sheriff wired. asking the governor if he could arrest any fug- itives coming into the state. The governor referred the natter to the attorney general, who held that the state officers could take no action in the matter of political fugitives com ing into the United States from for eign countries. It is a question for the federal authorities to deal with. It is reported that the revolution ists were repulsed.

From there the robbers, with a fwhoop, went to the government stamp office, footing it and doing great damage to the postoffice. They then turned their attention to the express office, robbing it. By this time the whole towns population was terrified. The bandits cut the wires and tore up some railroad tracks. However, before communi- cation was interrupted word was sent to the state capital. Governor Car denas immediately reported the raid to the secretary of the interior and dispatched local troops to the scene. After imprisoning the municipal officers and further terrifying the inhabitants, the bandits got word that the troops were coming Then they left. This morning they passed by the way of Hacienda Hornes, and the town of Matamoros de Laguna. At this place they encountered the first detachment of troops sent to capture them. A lively fight ensued in which one trooper was killed and several were wounded. The soldiers captured one of the bandits, but the remainder escaped and are now in the wilds of Durango, having crossed the border between Coahuila and that state shortly after the battle. The captured bandit is now in prison in the city of Torreon.
 Tn giving access to the official cor .respondence containing the above facts to the Associated Press, com menting upon the happenings, Vice President Corral said: For over a score of years the republic of Mexico has been absolutely free from ban dit raids or uprisings of a similar disgraceful affair which occurred at Viesca yesterday. For that reason the government will mete out stern measures to these criminals in order that the world at large may know country have passed.
 From private information I re- ceived today I am satisfied that most of the men concerned in the raid have spent terms in jail before. The men were trying to rescue former railroad employees who had been i'm prisoned and for that reason they first attacked the jail"
 Today the president called a spe- cial session of the cabinet at which, it is stated, the conditions in the state of Coahuila were discussed at length. The attack on Los Vitacas was separate and distinct from the one on the town of Viesca yesterday The towns are miles apart from each other

An important liquor law decision is
reported from Burlington. Judge
Smyth of the district court there ;us-
tanned the demurrer filed by the de-
fendant in the case of the proceed
ings started by local preacher for
the removal of County Attorney
Kuhlemeier for not enforcing every
provision of the mulct law The
courts Interpretation of the statute
was that the county attorney is only
required to enforce the provision re-
ferring to the collection of the mulct
tax, which provision had been fully
complied with. This decision is the
first of its kind in the state on this
question.
