VENEZUELAN BREAK DECISIVE
Withdrawal the Result of Senate's
Perusal of Correspondence.

Washington, d. C.-While every
thing is being done to minimize the
action of this Government in break
ing off diplomatic relations with Ven
ezuela, there is a persistent belief
that it presages sharp and decisive
action in the case of the ST nth Amer
lean republic.
Warships will bring home Jacob
Sleeper, Charge d'Affalres, and Lieu
tenant Francis A. Ruggles, Military
Attache. Confirmation was had at
the State Department that the Ameri-
can Legation had been closed. The
Brazilian Minister will keep an eye
on American affairs until some deeis-
ion is reached, either by diplomacy
or by the use of some stronger meas.
ure.
The withdrawal of the American
representatives from the Venezuelan
capital is regarded as direct result
of the action of the Senate, which last
winter called for all the voluminous
correspondence that had passed be-
tween Washington and Caracas. The
perusal of this correspondence aston
ished members of the Com mittee IN
Foreign Relations.

Primroses had been strewn over its
coverlet of ivy.
Mrs. Cleveland. with Esther and
Richard at her side, stood between
the graves as the Rev. DR.. William
r. Richards, pastor of the Brick Pres
byterian Church, of New York, read
the committal service and pronounced
the benediction. This concluded the
obsequies.
President Roosevelt and mis- party
left the cemetery before Mrs Cleve-
land and her children entered their
carriage to be driven to Westland.
The services over the grave lasted
less than ten minutes.
On two sides of the grave, which
is under the shadow of the mortuary
chapel. were banked the floral trib-
utes. Prominent among them was
wreath of roses sent by President and
Mrs Roosevelt.

Grover Cleveland was the twenty
second President of the United States.
He was three times nominated by the
Democratic party for the highest Of
flee within the gift of the people and
twice elected to that Office. AS the
history of the country is written from
decade to decade and from century
to century, he will be rated in his
tory in comparison with his prede-
cessors and his successors in that
high office. His rating will undoubt-
eddy be high.
Grover Cleveland was born March
IS, 1897, in the village of Caldwell,
n. j., nine miles from Newark, in
house still standing, the parsonage
of the First Presbyterian Church.
His father, the Rev. Richard f.
Cleveland, a graduate of Yale, was
Presbyterian minister of high
character, strong preacher, and fine
scholar, whose forbears were Con-
necticut Yankees. His mother was
Ann Neal, the daughter of an Irish
bookseller and a German Quakeress.
The fifth of their nine children was
christened Stephen Grover, for the
minister who had preceded the clergy
man in the Caldwell pastorate.
When Grover was four years old
the family moved to Fayetteville,
near Syracuse, n. Y, travelling by the
canal, and afterward to Clinton, n.
Y. In those places the boy got his
schooling, and the tradition is that
he was in no wise remarkable at his
books.
In 1853 the death of his father
obliged him to earn his own living.
With his older brother he came to
New York and found a place as

Sheriff of Erie County, n. Y. 1t was
in 1881 that he was elected to the
Office which established his first large
reputation-the mayorship of Buff
falo. In six months he had attracted
such general attention that the DEM
ocrats gave him the nomination for
governor. He was elected by an
enormous majority over his Repub-
lican opponent, Charles J. Folger..
At the Democratic national conven-
ton, July, 1884, he was the leading
candidate on the first ballot, and on
the second ballot he secured the,
nomination. He was renominated
but Harrison defeated him. During
his first term, in 1886, he married
Frances Folsom. In 1892 he ran for
President again and was elected.
