CANADA MAKES PROTEST.
Officials Incensed atActiOn OF Amer
lean Immigration Inspectors.

Ottawa. June 2S.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Edmund Bristol. NJ. p. drew
the governments attention TO the in
dignities several Toronto Hebrew excur-
sionists suffered at the hands Of Ameri-
can officers at Niagara Falls, N. y, on
Saturday.
They had crossed the border for an
hour or two and upon attempting to re-
turn. were stopped by United States i'm
migration officials They showed their
return tickets. but this was not enough.
and they were herded together and driven
amid jeers through the Niagara streets
to the Inspector. who finally allowed them
20 proceed.
They had already explained to the immi-
grafton officials that they had Canadian
naturalization papers
Sir Wilfred Laurier replying 70 Mr..
Bristol said he could not see what the
motive Of the outrage could be, as our
relations with the United States we're
cordial and friendly. II was possible that
some parties had been overzealous.
He would ask the British Ambassador
at Washington 10 draw the attention OF
the authorities 10 the incident
The Washington herald., 1908-06-24

Diplomatic relations with Venezuela
have been practically broken off and the
affairs Of the United States Legation at
Caracas viii be placed in the hands OF
some European power, probably Great
Britain.
The State Department was advised yes
terday that the gunboat Marietta had
sailed from Porto Cabeno with Jacob
Sleeper. secretary Of the legation and
charge d'anaires, on board. W. W. Rus
sell. American Minister to Venezuela. has
been in the United States for several
months on leave Of absence.
Thomas P. Monatt. former American
consul at la Guaira, was recently grant
ed leave Of absence from his post because
Of the prevalence Of bubonic plague there.
and he has since been transferred TO
Bluefelds. Nicaragua
Causes for Withdrawal.
The action Of the United States in with
drawing its principal diplomatic and con-
sular officers in Venezuela is due 70 the
fact that there is no reason for maintain
ing further diplomatic negotiations with
President Castro. Last winter Secretary
Root used every possible diplomatic means
20 force President Castro 20 submit the
I'VE pending claims between Venezuela
and the United States 20 arbitration, but
Castro declined.
AT the request Of the administration,
Senator Lodge introduced a resolution
asking for all the information and corre-
spondence with Venezuela in regard 20
the pending claims This resolution was
passed. and President Roosevelt sent 10
the Senate a large mass OF papers, docu-
ments and letters IN the controversy.
Not Intended as Threat.
After Mr.. Root had submitted a propo-
sition 10 President Castro for the arbitra-
ton Of all the claims and failed TO get
action he submitted each claim separate
ly. This plan also met with refusal. and
since then there has been no diplomatic
correspondence between the two nations.
II was said here that the action Of the
United States in severing diplomatic re-
lations with Venezuela is not intended
as a threat. but under the existing con-
ditions Of affairs the State Department
does not care TO risk the lives OF its
diplomatic officers in Venezuela. where
plague Is prevalent. and while il is felt
they can serve no useful purpose.
May End in Tariff War.
The withdrawal OF the last American
official is believed, however, TO be a fore
runner Of an intention TO induce Congress
at its next session 10 authorize coercive
tariff measures 20 force Castro TO sub
mission.
At the last session of Congress there
was some sentiment among members OF
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rala-
tons in favor Of forcing Castro TO terms
BY placing a prohibitive duty upon vene-
zuelan articles imported into the United
States No action was taken because the
party leaders were unwilling 10 force the
Venezuelan question upon the eve OF a
Presidential campaign. and also because
there appeared 10 be no public sentiment
in this country TO support such a radical
course.
The people exhibited little interest after
publication Of the questions in dispute.
and unless there is a public awakening
there is little likelihood of any drastic ac-
tion

PERSIAN CAPITAL
SCENE Or BATTLE
Severe Fighting Reported in
the City of Teheran.
FOREIGNERS NOT IN DANGER
Disorders Are the Outgrowth Of Old
Dispute which Have Been Recur-
stitutionaI Government in Persia.
Consul Reports TO Government.

The State Department received dis
patches yesterday from John B. Jackson.
American Minister at Teheran. which
state that severe fighting had taken place
in the Persian capital between political
societies and troops Of the Persian gov
.ernment, and that the artillery had been
employed.
Mr.. jackson added that foreigners were
In no special danger. He said the city
was IN state ~ siege. The present dis
orders IL is said, are the outgrowth Of
an old dispute, which has been recurrent
since the establishment Of constitutional
government In Persia several years ago.
They are due mainly 10 a large element
of the population which IS opposed 20 the
Shah. and there have been several at
tempts upon his life in addition 20 revo-
lutionary outbreaks.
Thirty thousand Killed.
Gen. Morteza. Khan. Persian minister 10
the United States. said he had received no
Information concerning the newest out
break I'm Teheran. In the last few years
he estimated 5000 persons had been killed
in political riots.
Outlaws in the vicinity OF Trumiah.
Persia. have been unusually active in the
last few months and American mis-
sionaries there have appealed 10 the
United States government for assistance
in obtaining protection from the Turkish
and Persian authorities. William F.
Doty. American consul at Tabriz. Persia.
sent a dispatch TO the State Department
yesterday. saying that American mis-
h1H ral him 20
miah to make an inspection OF the situa-
tion. with a view 10 obtaining protection
from the nomadic Kurds who infest the
nelghborhood.
UrUniah is in the heart Of a strip Of
territory the sovereignty OF which is dis
puted. It IS claimed by both Turkey and
Persia, and neither country has been
able 10 control the nomadic tribes Of
Kurds who lnhabit the region. These
bands Of outlaws terrorize and rob the
natives.
The bandits are safe from pursuit be-
cause Of the fact that Turkish troops
are not authorized 10 cross the border
into Persia IN pursuing them. and. conse-
quently. they are able TO make marauding
expeditions into Turkey and escape across
the border with impunity.
Question of Protection.
The question Of protecting mission
aries IN this part of the world has been
receiving the attention Of the State De-
partment for the last three years.
II is believed here that an understanding
will have been reached between Persia
and Turkey by which troops OF either
country can enter the other 10 pursue
these outlaws. Such an agreement Is
difficult 10 arrange, il is said, because
a delicate international situation exists IN
Persia and Turkey. In order that such
an understanding may be effected. the
consent of Great Britain, Russia, and
Germany will be necessary, because each
of these nations has extensive interests
In the disputed territory.

should Mr.. sherman Die.
Chicago. June 23.-Harry S New. chair
man Of the national committee. expressed
great regret when told of the serious
illness 'of Congressman Sherman.
While the friends OF Mr.. Sherman are
taking a hopeful view Of his case, the
question naturally arose regarding the
course Of procedure in case of his death.
Mr.. New was clearly Of the opinion that
the national committee would have fun
power TO name a Vice Presidential can
didate.
The committee was vested. he said. with
similar power with regard TO the Presi-
Dental candidates. but he said thar
where there was sufficient time before
election TO do so the committee would
reassemble the convention and have
nomination made in the regular way.
While there is no precedent 70 guide
the national committee in filling a va
cancy. there seems to be no doubt that
the committee has authority to name n
candidate for Vice President IN the
event Of the death Of Mr. Sherman. This

Teheran, June 23.-The expected clash
between the forces of the Shah and of the

BRYAN ARRAIGNS
CHICAGO PLATFORM
Declares 1t Silent Repudia-
tiOn of Roosevelt.
NO REAL REFORM IS PROMISED
President Must Resent, He Says, the
Fact that No Credit Is Given Demo-
Gratis for supporting Him When
Republicans Deserted-COnsiders Il
Contract Signed and sealed.

Lincoln. Nebr, June 23-In a 1000
word statement issued by Mr.. Bryan
| tonight he vigorously arraigns the Re
publican party for its stand at Chicago,
taking up issues in detail and replying 10
the attacks on the Democratic record
made in the platform. He declares that
It is sufficient proof that the contest be-
tween the reformer and the standpatter
in the Republican party is over, with the
standpatter IN the saddle The platform
is a silent Reputation Of nearly every
promise of, reform that the President and
his followers have given 20 the country
He asks:
Why is II that the Republican conven-
zion spent 50 much time in praising the
President. and gives so little attention 20
specific Endorsement OF the things lie had
advocated?"
Rich I'm Sarcasm.
With a wealth OF sarcasm. he contrasts
the platform declarations with the Presi-
dents known policies. suggesting that the
President must resent the fact that the
platform expresses no gratitude 70 the
Democratic members Of Congress for sup
porting him when the Republicans de-
serted him. but actually condemns their
filibuster which was carried on TO compel
Republicans to carry out the Presidents
recommendation. He declares the trust
plank is a disappointment and that the
negro comes in for his quadrenniaI taffy.
and quotes the platform TO show that the
Republican leaders are solicitous for ne
gro interests only when voting time
comes.
The tariff revision promise. he says.
closes the door Of hope 10 a tariff re-
former. The plank starts out with
proposition that We must have protec-
tive tariff and 10 then ask the manufac-
turers how much they need for a rea-
sOnable profit. and as the manufacturer
accompanies the answer with campaign
contribution. the ordinary taxpayer gets
little consideration"
Good Word for one Plank.
The only plank Bryan commends is
that promising a postal savings bank,
and intimates that the Democratic con-
vention Will favor a law guaranteeing the
safety Of deposits in State and national
banks based on the system in Oklahoma.
He declares that socialism has had its
greatest growth during Republican ad-
ministration. and that the Republicans
are responsible therefor
He summarizes the platform rs indubi-
table proof that the country need expect
no real reform, and that it is a contract
signed and sealed between the Republican
party and the exploiting interests. the
surety demanded by these interests before
furnishing the money to finance the cam
paign.
