VENEZUELA IS OFF
 THIS C0UNTRY'S LIST

Washington, Juncs 29-From now on, unless President Castro commits some overt act Venezuela is off the list of the United States. The ad- ministration this morning made pub lie the fact that all diplomatic rela- tiOns with Castro's country have been abandoned SO far at least as Caracas is concerned.
 In common with other countries the United States will not for the present withdraw the consuls from other cities in Venezuela, but the representative will keep aloof from anything of q diplomatic nature.
 Displeasurc at the manner in which President Castro of Venczeula has been treating Americans is the reason ad- vanccd oy the administration for recall ing Minister Sleeper. The administra- tion will not act further in the matter until after Minister Sleeper arrives in this country and makes his report.

 MILLION DOLLAR BOND

Rue's lawyers argued and implorcd but all to no purpose for Judge Dunn held that the securities are not reliable.
 For several weeks Ruef has been trying to obtain his liberty on bail and has offered several securities but all have been refused. The securities refused this morning were obtained only with much difficulty and great hopes were based on their being ac- cepted.

ANOTHER BONANZA DUE

Alaska is due to report another bonanza placer field and the symp- toms point to the region of the upper Susitna river, on Valdez creek and adjacent tributaries of the main stream. All accounts which come from there indicate the existence of a great district. The geological forma- tion Is that of the other bonanza dis tricts of Alaska and the Yukon and the discoveries SO far made cOrrobO- rate the testimony of the rocks,
 Nobody believes that the day of bonanzas in the north is past-that the klOndikc, the Tanana and Nome will close the list. In that vast re zion between Cook inlet and the Are tic ocean gold has been found where ever the prospcctor has scratched the surface and it seems probable that the mining SO fur done is no more than the amputation of the Vcrmiform appendix. ProspcctOrs who have cX- plorcd the ground superfcially from Cook inlet to the Yukon admit that they took out ''wagcs" on nearly every creek where they washed gra- vel, but they passed on because they were hunting for something easy and would not dig long enough in one place to see if rich dirt lay deep.
 The Susi'na district is tributary to Valdez and if this summers discoVcr- ics advertise it as the newest bonanza the stampede will be mainly through this town, and from here most of the outtitting will be done. It. is impnr- tant that Valdez should lose none of the Susitna trade by failure to Obt ain mail route and improvement of the trail into the district

RUFF AND HENEY
 CLASH IN COURT

San Francisco, June 26-- Special Pros ecutor ilcncy and Abe Rucf clashed in court this morning during the bribery trial of the latter. Hcncy accused Ruef of employing assassins andRuef called lIcncy damned liar. Court at tachcs prevented physical violence being done.
 The trouble started by Ruef mak- ing formal objection to the presence in the courtroom of Ilcncy's special guard because of the fact that the latter was armed. There were a few sarcastic remarks accompanying the objection which was interrupted by Ieney who said:
 "if any trouble starts, you will get yours first because you hired assas- sins to kill mc.n
 "You damned liar, youn replied Ruef aoturning toward Heney who started toward the defendant only to be seized by two husky baliffs who prevented further hostilitiea.

THOMPSON LADS
 AUNT IS INSANE

Seattle, June 2- Mrs. Lucia Ryan, aunt of Chester Thompson the youth who killed former Judge George Meade Emory two years ago next month, became violently insane this morning and wandering from the home of Chester's father made her way to Lake Washington into which she threw herself. The wonan's at tempt at suicide was witnessed by two men who succeeded in saving her life after hard struggle. The woman's strength despite her age, was that of maniac.
 News that Mrs. Ryan is insane caused much comment in this city, where feeling against the slayer of former Judge Emory Is still very strong, Young Thompson was ac- quilted of the murder on the grounds of insanity and at the time the cx- perts who testified in his behalf sworc that he was incurable. Less than two years after the commission of the act his father obtained Chester's release from the insane ward Of the peniten- tiary by court hearing during which the same experts testified that the youth has entirely recovered his reason.
 One of the pleas made at the mur- der trial by Will II. Thompson, the father, was that there is and has al- ways been insanity in the family. Now that another member has be- come insane there is renewed con dcmnation of the jury that turned young Thompson loose.

SEATTLE CAN HELP

Seattle has an opportunity to show friendship for Alaska by lining up it's political influence with the people of the territory against the little Hog gait corporation squad. If Alaska's \ profcsscd friends in Seattle will in duce the Washington delegation in congress to support Delegate Gale, the representative of the territory, against the govcrmor-lObbyis who represents nobody but himself and his pet corporations, they can earn q warm feeling for the Sound city which does not now exist.
 If Seattle and the Washington dele. gation in congress do not support the overwhelming anti-lIoggatt scnti- ment of Alaska the territory will sup port the Alaska Yukon fair principal ly by the absent treatment.

A Cake Hint.

Always steam fruit cake; you will
not have to worry about your oven be-.
ing too hot or there being hard
crust on your cake. Put on your
boiler. being sure there is a good fire ::
put bricks in the bottom, so as to
bring your cake about the center of
the boiler. Invert tin on the bricks.
set your cake on this. cover with an.
other tin, so the steam cannot drip on
the cake. Keep the water at boiling
point and steam three hours. Set in a
slow oven one-half hour.

To boil potato well requires more
attention than is usually given. They

they are impregnated, and a brackish

into kettle of clear, cold water with
little salt; cover closely and boil

water will make them heavy. AS soon

Everybody realizes the necessity OF
some method OF publication of sinks.

Health is question Of cleanliness

use OF disinfectants In their ordinary

which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (Which disinfectants must Of
necessity be Of a more or less danger
Gus character) and must be used for
this purpose and for no other, and in
consequence kept from children and
careless handling.
There is, however, within the reach
| OF all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multitude
of domestic cleansing and purifying
purposes-Borax.
Borax is pure, white harmless pow

Makinq Ice Tea.

If ice tea is to be made from the tea
left over from the MONDAY meal or
any previous meal it should be strained
from the leaves and put in pitcher in
the ice chest. Many leave the tea and
leaves together, thinking it will be
stronger. True it will, but the tannin
is very injurious and such ice tea is
really very harmful. The best tea is
made with enough good tea to extract
the flavor with boiling water in a few
minutes. Tea is best served in very
thin glasses with shaved or lump ice.
Slice the lemon, slit slice and place
1t over the rim of the glass. Place the
glass on a glass tumbler coaster or in
small saucer with a silver spoon.
