RUPTURE NOW COMPLETE
Venezuelan Charge at Wash
ington Recalled.

Washington, July 9.-Senor Veloz-
Goiticoa, the Venezuelan charge DAT
flares in this city, called at the state
department and presented to Acting
Secretary Bacon his letters of recall.
This action was taken by direction of
President Castro and as the result Of
the withdrawal from Caracas of Jacob
Sleeper, the American charge. The eff
feet of this action is the complete rup-
ture of relations between America and
Venezuela.
The charge appeared at the state
department by appointment and wa
admitted to see Acting Secretary Ba-
con in the course of a few minutes.
He was greeted very kindly by Mr.
Bacon. The interview lasted about
five minutes, when the charge retired
and said farewell to some of the Off
Gals of the department, by whom he
is highly regarded. He will leave
Washington for New York Saturday
and sail on the first passenger steam
or for Venezuela. The Venezuelan
legation here will be closed and the
papers and files will be placed in the
hands of the Venezuelan consul gen
eral at New York.

oBALDlA is PRESIDENT.
Elections in Panama Pass Off With
out Disorder.

Panama, July 13.-The presidential
elections throughout the isthmus of
Panama passed off without disturb
ance. Senior Don Jose Domingo de
Obaldia, formerly minister to the
Omitted States and acting president
during the absence of DR.. Amador,
was elected president. The support
ers of Ricardo Arias, who recently
withdrew his candidacy. decided not
to vote and as a consequence no OPP
ponent to Senior Obaldia was placed
in nomination. Notwithstanding this,
a large number of voters registered
their choice and demonstrated the
overwhelming majority Of Senior Obal-
dia's supporters. From all parts OF
the republic news has been received
here that the elections were carried
on in an orderly manner and that
Senior Obaldia received all the votes
cast.
At the conclusion of the ballotting
enthusiastic crowds, headed by a band
of music, paraded the streets of Pana-
ma, cheering continuously for the
newly elected president. There ap.
! peared to be an absolute absence of
i'll feeling between the former sup
porters Of Senior Arias and the adj
herents of Senior Obaldia. Never be-
fore has such a friendly spirit been
shown so quickly after an election.

Howell of Georgia and Mcneil Of Con-

date alone in the field. The with
drawal of the Connecticut candidate
was accompanied by a motion that
the domination Of Kern be made by
reclamation. The motion was carried
with a deafening shout and the great

to show cause why he should not turn
the children over to her.
1t was after a sensational quarrel

ing statement was made by William
]. Bryan when he received announce
ment Of his nomination as the candi-
date Of the Democratic party for pres
ident:
1.-THE honor is the highest official
position in the world and no one
occupying 1t can afford to have his
views upon public questions bias ed
by personal ambition. Recognizing
his responsibility to God and his obi
cation to his countrymen he should
enter upon the discharge of his duties
with singleness of purpose. Believing
that one can best do this when he is
not planning for a second term ] an
nounce now, as l have on former occa-
sions, that If elected l shall not be a
candidate for reelection.
This is a nomination as purely
from the people as a be and if elect
ed my obligation will be as purely to
the people. l appreciate the honor
the more because 1t came not from
one person or a few persons, but from
the rank and file, acting freely and
without c~ompulsion."
