a few hours after the cruisers ar
rival that the order for an imme-
diate return to Venezuela was re-
ceived. The departure of the Ven
ezuelan Consul has resulted in a ces-
sation of relations which grew out
of an anti-Venezuelan demonstration
here Saturday and Sunday The city
is calm now, and the troops, which
were patrolling the streets, have
been taken to their barracks.
Great joy was manifested by the
population when it became known

Cabe.lo o. :. steamer that arrived
at O'Clock this morning, and the
consul boarded her and proceeded
for Venezuela.
AS Consul Lopez was going from

ate, escorted by armed troops, to re-
move the official papers, the mob
nearly caught him, but he was saved
by the arrival of more troops. This
afternoon the consul's wife and chill
dren were escorted to their steamer.
They were not molested.

Grosscup Calls Decision Final

Washington, d. C.-The President
in commenting on the Standard Oil
decision said:
There is absolutely no ques ion
of the guilt of the defendants or o.
the exceptionally grave character of
the offense. 1t would be gro IS
miscarriage of justice, if through
technicalities the defendant escap
the punishment which would unique =
tionably have been meted out to any
weaker defendant who had bee
guilty of such offense.'
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of Chi
cago, one of the three judges who
reversed the action of Judge Lands
in filming the Standard Oil Company
$29, 900, declared that the de-
cision of the Circuit Court of APP
peals was practically final. The Judge
then said that neither the Attorney
General nor any one else had any
right to demand retrial OF the
case. Continuing he said:
"All that can be done Is to apply
to the United States Supreme Court
for permission to reopen the case. 1t

LARGE LEVEE GIVES WAY,
Damage to Farm Lands on San Joa.
Quin Estimated at 10000.

Antioch, CAL. July 2S.-About
200 feet of the San Joaquin river
levee gave way on the fertile Jersey
Island tract located east of here,
flooding the entire island comprising
nearly 1000 acres. The loss will be
about $4,000, and falls principally
upon the Jersey Island Company, al
though there are many small farm
ers, who hold leases, that will lose
everything, as their crops were all
practically ready to harvest.
The Jersey Island Company hid
100 acres of the finest celery in the
river section, estimated at 5000 car
loads, that would have been ready
to harvest In about two months
There was also 500 acres of potatoes
and other vegetables. Nothing WI!
be saved.
Besides this direct loss all the
bitches used for draining the land
will be ruined. Also thousands of
young celery plants. 1t was INTENDED
to make this one of the largest Gel
cry fields in the state.

irish Sarcasm.

A happy and humorous example OF
iarcasm as apart from repartee is at
forded by the following anecdote. 1
quote it on the authority Of a friend,
who, 1 am afraid, was the villain of
the incident: A most imperturbable
man was followed from Westmoreland
street, Dublin, over the O'Connell
bridge to the general post Office by two
little street arabs, who importuned him
for the end of his cigar. Throw us
the butt, sir! All, sir, throw us the
butt" cried the youths, but as the man
did not betray the slightest conscious
ness Of their existence they gave him
up at last in despair and disgust. EAR
rah, let him alone" said one, with the
most scorching scorn. "Shure, It's q
bait he's picked up himself
l once heard bumptious little man
who, acting as steward at athletic
sports In Dublin, was very assertive
In keeping back the crowd, thus ad-
dressed by an angry spectator: IF the
c0nsate was taken out Of yer, ye'd be
no bigger than a green gooseberry,
and ye're as sour as wan already !"-
London Standard.
