AMERICA AND RUSSIA
Correspondent of Russia Urges a Beiler Understand Between
 tbe Two Nations.

St Petersburg, July 9.-The Ros- sia to-day publishes letter from it's correspondent in the United States, who urges in strong terms the neces- sity. particularly for Russia of a better understanding between the Russian and the American peoples and who proposes a method by which this highly desired end can be accomplished.
 The correspondent deploras what he calls the animosity of the Amer ican people to-day towards Russia and says this is direct outcome of the persistent efforts of the enemies of the Russian empire, the Jap anese during the late war, and sub sequentiy Russian political agitators who visi ed the United States and gave the American people a false and misleading idea of conditions in the empire. To remedy this deplor- able condition the correspondent says the American people must be instructed in what Russia really is. The press is not the way to do it, nor must he method be tainted by any official connection. Russian so- ciety must act by itself unaided.
 "A group of prominent Rus sians," the correspondent says, should invite to Russia a number of influential Americans, politicians, scientists, merchants, financiers and business men, and permit them 10 see and judge of conditions at first hand. The extent to which they have been misinformed regarding Russia should be made clear to them. These men would return home and give publicity to their views. They would in turn invite Russians to visit the United States and in this way there would be es- tablished a series of international exchanges that would result in much good to both countries"

LOSING FRIENDS
Venezuela Bas Now Lost Favor Wiih HoIIsnd-Casiro Driy.
 iBg Away Many Friends.

Caracas, Saturday, June 2O.-The threatening break in the friendly re Iations long existing between Hol- land and Venezuela will add one more nation to the long list of those which either have no intercourse with Venezuela or have serious ques- tions pending. These are France. Colombia, United States, England and perhaps Italy. The path Of the diplomat in Caracas is thorny and only too many have met their. fate at Casro's hands.
 Minister De Reus has now been placed by yenezuela's pugnacious president in the position of either showing his disapproyal by packing up and going away, or of setting aside his pride by quietly ignoring Castro's note. Members of the diplo- matic corps here do not think that the latter course is probable.
 The trouble which has now broken out has been brewing for three months. It began before the gov ernment of Curacao enacted quaran- tine regulations against Venezuela on account of the presence of the plague here. These regulations called forth retaliation from Presi- dent Castro in the form of the de- cree which prohibited the trans--ship- ment of merchandise to or from Venezuelan ports in Curacao.
 The fact that Curacao is the haven of Venezuelan refugees and the Mecca of plotters and revolutionists. caused the Venezuelan government to send a note requesting Holland to show some interest in obstructing the filibustering plans of the refugees and to exert a more efiectual vigi- lance over the shipping with tVenezu- ella, which has always been carried on in such a very loose way as to permit the escape of refugees Oh Dutch schooners under assumed names.
 The escape of General Nicholas Rolando last year is case in point and there have been countless oth- CTS. This looseness has also greatly facilitated contraband which is, and always has been, the lie of the lit tie Dutch island.
 Minister De Reus, several weeks ago, sent his answer to Castro and this caused the crisis by giving the president an opening for his last characteristically startling note. Ms De Reus explained that the Curacao government could not carry out Fl of President Castro's wishes and he insisted that Senor Lopez, the new veneguelan consul in Curacao. has mIsinformed the Venezuelan govern ernment and that he had gone to Curacao very much prejudiced against the island. It is believed that the allusions 10 the consul were what most exasperated General Cas- tro. He also said that he wished that the trans-shipment decree could be reconsidered as 1t was a great blow to the business of Curacao.
 The text of President Castro's note has been kept close secret by both the government and the Dutch min ister, but enough is kuown to indi- cate that the Hague government will not have an easy task in extrlcating its minister from his present difiicul- ties.

ROBBERS RAMPANT. Entered Railroad Station at New Hartford-Other Places Robbed.

New Hartford. July 9.-The depot of the Central New England railroad at this point was entered and ran sacked last night and a quantity of goods taken, the value of which has not yet been determined. The ticket rack was torn down and the tickets scattered all over the floor, every ex- press package practically in the place opened and the telephone booth torn from its place and carried part way up the railroad tracks. One package containing clothing. which the rob bers took, is said to have been worth $50. No one was awakened by the marauders although a deputy sheriff lived directly across the street from the depot and there is no clue.
 IL was later discovered that the general store and post office at Pleas ant Valley and the railroad station ot Pine Meadow had been broken into during the night. In the former place lees than s2 was secured and nothing of value was found in the latter.

TERROR STRICKEN
Chicago Patrons of ihe Cheap Thesters Fled When Bomb
 Vas Exploded.

Chicago, July 9-Terror was caus- ed in the Chicago Automobile club and three fiye-cent theaters last night by the explosion of a bomb in the rear of 26O State street.
 The six-story brick building at No 260 is where two men, leaders of one faction of Chicago gamblers, have their offices and the bomb was set off apparently by the person who has been responsible for the dynamite war" among gamblers. The explo- sion broke every window in the rear of the first floor of the State street building. Members of the Automobile ing Plymouth court, thought gaso- lene tank had exploded and fled from tehir building Audiences, number ing several hundred persons in the nickel theaters located in the same block where the explosion occurred, made a nasty exit In the hotels in the block similar conditions existed. Guests fled into the street and it was some time before they could be in- duced to return to their homes.
 The police were unable to find any trace of dynamite or powder. The odor of burned gunpowder, however, gave clue to the cause. Last win ter there were no less than fifteen similar explosions close to buildings 0pannied Or owned hy the different gambling interests of Chicago. The police have never been able to find the persons responsible. 70 ...

Platform Makers Delayed.

Denver, July 9.-Further delay in the presentation of the platform was indicated when late in the morning, after an extended discussion of the railroad plank recommended by the subcommittee on that subject, the main subcommittee of the cor,mit- tee on resolutions referred the plank back to the general committee to be redrawn.
 The proposed plank relating to the use of court injunctions was then taken up in the subcommittee for discussion. After some twenty min utes of debate the injunction plank was adopted without alteration.
 By a vote announced as SIS to 3S7 the convention rejected the minority report from the committee on credentials and adopted that of the majority of the committee, the principal practical effect of which was to unseat the group of contested delegates from Philadelphia hostile to the candidacy of MT Bryan and. more particularly, friendly 10 the in- terests of National Committee man James M Guffey of Pittsburg. In addition to this, the report as adapt ed added four to the representation from Oklahoma and thus four t. the total strentgh of the convention. These four are Bryan men.
 To how great an extent this vote really represents the ultimate anti Bryan strength in the convention was the interesting and highly important question debated on all hands this morning when. began the activities of the third day of the convention. It requires two-thirds vote to rom mate, and 3s7 is comfortably more than one-third of 1.006. The sua- planting of the ten Guffey men by ten Bryan men makes q net differ ence of twenty and the addition of the four Bryan men from Oklahoma would increase the gain to twenty four, but even that would leave the anti-Brian strength more than the one-thord necessary to prevent his nomination-if this vote had been on the question of nomination. But 1t was not, and comparatively few observers this morning professed to regard this vote as really a test of the strentgh .of either side on the question of nomination.
