Rooseyelt Is Attacked.

Caracas. Sunday. March 29-On the day following the publication of the diplomatic correspondence regarding the violation of the mail pouches of the United States steamship Tacoma. President Castro's official organ, El Constituticional, published an editorial accusing President Roosevelt of "searching for light incidents. out of which to create a conflict with Vene- zuela." and of having a premeditated plan.
 It says: "Is it possible that Minis ter Russell could have written his note to our foreign <office without hav- ing a preconceived and premeditated intention? To attribute to a simple act without responsibility by the post ofice in La Guayra. intentions which do not exist and to preJudge the act as serious for the government of the United States is to have a premedita- ted plan which ought not to originate, because It cannot, from the actual American minister in Caracas. W. W. Russell.
 From where then can originate the idea of searching for slight incidents to create conflict with Venezuela from the chief of this legation. who ts called the Secretary of State in Washington and who in turn cannot but be under the direct influence of President Roosevelt2"
 Saving that it is high time for the American nations to know President Roosevelt's real ambitions. whether that of a fraud or dictator, the edl- torial continues:
 'If the inspiration of Roosevelt. President of the United States, against the traditions which impose the union of the American people among them selves has as a basis the abdication Inf territorial sovereignty of these peo- ple or the nullity of their codes. just because of the pretentions of a few cities. who do not and cannot represent the will of the American people. 1t is then high time that this horrible truth he known and that the people of the New World know whether in the gov. ernment of the United States they have A friend or capricious dictator. If the first. Venezuela Is the most respectful of all to the dictates of honor and friendship: If the second, it should be known once for all that Venezuela as. sumes the paternity of its sovereignty and at this late day 1t has not con ceived the crime of the traitor to fore. 70 1t under any form or consideration

 --6Oes to Lincoln to Rest.

Denver. Colo, April 7.--William J. Bryan after quiet morning made several personal calls and visited the local national democratic headquarters. yer press club and in the afternoon left for his home in Lincoln Neb.s where he will rest for q week s -s
 Mir. Taft is sither misinformed or he lacks candor when he says chang ed front on the, Philippine question:" said Mir. Bryan before his departure, referring to the address of secretary Taft at Omaha last night.
 INT. Taft undoubtedly had reference to t8e statement made public while the Paris treaty was pending before the senate. The question presented at that time was this: Shall we reject the treaty. continue the state of war and force Spain to recognize the in- dependence of the Philippines, or shall we ratify the treaty and declare our intention to recognize the independence of the Philippines ourselves. took the position that 1t was easier for us | to act alone than to force Spain to act and that we had as much right to rec ognize the independence of the Phil ippines ourselves as to force Spain to do 1t.
 "The senate ratified the treaty and came so near deciding in favor of in- dependence of the Philippines that 1t required the vote of the vice president i to defeat the resolution. Had the resolution received one more vote we would have been saved more than $500, 100000 in expenses and saved the menace of war in the Orient and the humiliation of having suspicion cast upon our adherence to the doctrines of the declaration of Independence. Mir Taft ought to explain whether he purposely conceals the important part of my plan or whether he Is real ly ignorant of the subject. There has never been a day since the treaty was ratified that we could not have made the promise of independence and thus made friends of the Philippines. No excuse could be given for our colonial policy except an excuse which attacks the principals of government" Mir. Bryan was somewhat amused at the reference of Secretary Taft to the gentleman who still seems to have the power of leading the democratic party against its will"
 That can hardly be true" suggest ed MT. Bryan, when l have no way of forcing anybody to agree with me. or to favor me and the charges comes with poor grace from one whose nQm- ination is being urged by all of the presidents office holders.
 This office holding activity has be- come so great that the republicans all ready have contesting delegations in a number of states protesting againsts the use of patronage to force the nomi- | nation on the party"

caused in Caracas by this article. for il Is President Castro who speaks. Be- tween the lines 1t Is easy to see that the relations must now be strained al- most to the breaking point.
 Saying that 1t will be necessary to conquer Venezuela if the decisions of Its courts are not respected. the article closed as follows:
 ''The question thus being placed on its true footing. 1t is not warships or cannon that can bring an honorable solution before the eyes of the civil- ized world. before American traditions or even before the code SO many times misinterpreted. which Is called the Monroe doctrine. The dilemma re- solves itself thus:
 Either the United States will re- spect or support the decision of the mixed international tribunals and those of the tribunals of Venezuela. or 1t will raise up once for all the flag of con quest in America. Then 1t will be that the people of the new world will know what the position is that they will have to occupy in the present and in the future"

 Result of the Bfm.
 The slightest possible consideration will show that the result of this bill will be not to prevent and not to make public any campaign contributions but simply to divert such contributions from national committees to smaller committees--from those having the greatest publicity to those having the least publicity. Sounding the cry of publicity and purity 1t would as mat ter of fact initiate against both ob- jects. It would make public no contri- buttons except as some rich man. might contribute to one part or the other for the purpose of giving himself standing in that party.

CITES FOR LIQUOR

Chicago. April 7.--Bewteen 1900 and 1.500 saloons were voted out of busi- ness in the local option elections by 1,150 townships in eighty four counties of Illinois today
 Twenty-two counties voted to become absolutely anti-saloon territory. in ad- dition to the nine counties which aboi- ished saloons last November. Thus thirtyone of the 102 counties in the State are now entirely dry.
 In today's elections. seventeen larger cities of the State declared in favor of saloons. while the towns. in rural com, munities generally voted to put them out of business.
 Chicago did not vote on the question of licensing saloons. though five out of seven townships in Cook County that had the question before them, voted In favor of the saloons. Aurora and Elgin, closely adjacent to Chicago. were both maintained in the saloon ranks. Urbana, where the University of Illinois is located. voted to continue local option in force. Springfield. the capital of the State. de- cided to retain the saloons by a ma- jority of 1900 ..
 One of the big disappointments of the day to the anti-saloon leaguers was the result In Bloomington. An especially ardent campaign had been waged there against the saloons. yet the majority, in favor of the liquor in- terests was over 1900
 The following cities in addition to those named. went wet: Peixin. Dam vile. Kankakee. Edwardsviiie. Canton. Murphysboro, Freeport. Monmouth. Rock Island. Kewanee, Genesee, Ma rengo and Minok.
 Additional dry cities are: Decatur. GaIesburw Rockford Paris Cham paign. Pontiac, Mount Sterling. Arcoia. ShelbyvilIe. Hillsboro. Litchheld, van- dalia, Mount Carroll, Taylorville, Dixon. Clinton. Fairbury. DeKalb, Sycamore, Mattoon, Harvard, Carmib and Jersey vile.
