Orders the Legation Closed.
A dispatch from WASHINGTON on
thursday says the diplomatic reia-
tions between America and Venezue,,
that have existed unint, rruptedly for
more than half a century. though in
recent years severely strained. were
Thursday completely severed. That
afternoon Senior Velzo-Goiticoa. the
venezuelan charge d'affaires. calIed
at the state department at Washing
ton by appointment to present to
Acting Secretary Bacon notice from
his government that he was to ouit
MS post here. close up the Venezue-
Ian legation in Washington and re-
pair to Venezuela.
Inc charge explained to the acting
secretary-that the action of the state
department in withdrawing Jacob
Sleeper. the American charge. from
Caracas and in closing up its leea-
'ion there made it necessary for his
government to take similar action
III the case of it's own legation in
Washington.
Just what took place between Act
ing Secretary Bacon and the charrs
can not be known beyond the fact
that the latter presented his letters
OF recall. He made no demand for
MS passports, nor could he do SO
consistently. in view of the fact thar
Foreign Minister Paul had declined
issue such passports to the Ameri-
can charge when he withdrew from
Caracas, on the ground that there
was no necessity for passports, the
country being in profound peace and
his person not being threatened in
any way.
Senior Veloz-Goiticoa did communi-
cate to Mr.. Bacon the fact that the
lies and papers of the Venezuelan
legation would be placed in the Gus
tody OF Senor Jacobo Pimental, the
Venezuelan consul general in New
York. This statement is regarded
rs an indication that the Venezue-
Ian government will follow the pre-
Cedent established by the United
States in refraining from interfering
with trade by closing the consulates.
Notwithstanding the branch in dipio-
matte relations.
1t ispointed out by officials who
have followed closely the develop
ments in the Venezuelan situation
that there is not the slightest danger
of war in the immediate future or
indeed at all Rather will the situa-
tion resemble that following the
rupture of diplomatic relations be-
tween France and Venezuela. fo, in
stance, where legations were closed
on both sides and all official relations
terminated while trade between the
two countries continued. The history
of these episodes in the case of Vene-
zuela is very much alike. Senior We
loz-Goiticoa's withdrawal follows
that of Minister Russell as diploma
tic representative Of the United
States to Venezuela about two months
ago and that of Mr.. Sleeper, the
secretary of the legation, and Lieut..
Ruggles, the military attache, about
two weeks since. The reason for the
withdrawal OF the American legation
1t Caracas arose from the persistent
refusal of Venezuela to give redress
for the governmental action by
which all American interests in
Venezuela were either destroyed or
confiscated, or to submit the claims

HEAT KILLS TwENTY-ONE.
New York in Grasp OF Tropical Spell
Scores Frustrated.

A smart southerly breeze that fol-
lowed in the trail OF a mild summer
storm on Thursday filtrated through
New fork's sun-baked streets and
brought some relief from the tropical
spell that has killed nearly two-score
of persons, prostrated hundreds and
held the city's population helplessly
in Its burning folds for over a week.
Twenty-one persons succumbed to
the heat, total of 81 deaths from
that cause within the last thirty-six
hours. Scores were prostrated.
The thermometer reached 90 de-
grees at noon at the weather bureau,
which is located in a downtown sky
scraper, but many thermometers on
the streets found the mercury hug
ging the 100 mark.

TIRED OF AGITATION.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. Both Dem.
ocrats and Republicans express conf.
dence in the result of voting in Ten.
nessee. The consensus of opinion on
both sides, however, is that a light
vote will be polled, except in some
counties where heated congressional
or county fights have been in progress.
This light vote is expected to follow
the apathetic conditions which have
prevailed throughout the state during
the entire campaign.
The fact that there promises to be
a comparatively large silent vote adds
a degree of uncertainty to the result
that might not otherwise exist. To-
day, there is more talk concerning the
probable result of the election than at
any previous time during the cam.
paign.
The apathy which has prevailed
throughout the state is chiefly accred.
tied to the fact that Tennessee has
been surfeited with politics for many
months past and the people are tired
of political agitation.

POSTAL RECEIPTS
SHOW PROSPERITY
Increase in September and
October.

Say does this look like hard
times?" asked Postmaster Spekenhier
as he picked up off his desk pad
showing a bunch of figures.
Last month"; said he, referring to
the figures, 'the receipts at the local
postoffice exceeded by 1854 the postal
receipts of October last year. During
last September and October the re-
ceipts of the local postoffice exceeded
the receipts of the same two months
last year by 1915. Guess that's pretty
good when you come to consider that
September and october last year
marked the high water mark Of pros
perity under the Roosevelt regime"

PRESENT SYSTEM
IS MORE COSTLY
Mayors Family Objects to
Present Time of Holding
City Court.
POLICE LIKE PRESENT PLAN
BY HOLDING COURT IN AFTER
NOON MANY OF INcONVENIEN-
cES OF THE PAST HAVE BEEN
DONE AWAY WITH.

Another objection is being raised to
the city court being held at an after
noon hour and this time it comes from
members of the mayors official family.
The protest is entered because of the
increased expense to the city. The
city allows 10 cents per meal for each
prisoner fed and when they remain at
the city Jail until the afternoon ses-
sion of court they have to be provided
with dinner. This is the cause of the
additional expense. When six or seven
prisoners are in the city Jail and each
is supplied with breakfast and dinner
the increase in expense is not incon-
siderable.
The members of the police depart
ment are almost unanimously in favor
of the change to the afternoon hour.
Those on night duty do not have to
delay their hours OF slumber while
preparations are being made to con-
L, ~
of the attorneys. There has been no
case of importance arise in city court
since the change of time was made. and
none requiring jury, SO that no test
has been made which gives these mat
tiers consideration. However, IL jury
trials are not begun until the after
noon and the customary delays in
Cured such as have featured previous
cases, it will mean more than one days
service for the jury in each instance.
One of the greatest drawbacks that
is expected to be encountered by the
new plan relates to the duties of the
prosecuting attorney. When the cir
cult court is in session and important
trials under consideration, the prose-
cutor can not be at both courts at the
same time. This means one court will
have to suffer inconvenience or the
work must be turned over to a deputy.
Although the time has been changed
for three weeks the plan has not I'M
dergone a thorough trial and for this
reason is being continued indefinitely.

Of Deneen in That

ALTHOUGH HE HAS BITTER oP-
POSITION IT is EXPECTED THAT
HIS PLURALITY WILL BE BE-
TWEEN 5000 AND $500.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 3.-Rousing meet
ings held In many places throughout
Illinois last night marked the close of
the active work Of the campaign. The
contest in both the national tickets
was over so far as political manage
ment was concerned and the fight left
with the voters.
The Republicans claim the state by
10000, while the Democrats class it
as doubtful.
The Democrats, in fact, have strong
hopes Of electing their candidate for
Governor, Adlai E. Stevenson, and the
fight, in this particular, is somewhat
in doubt.
The Republicans, however, assert
that they will return Charles S. Den
cen to the gubernatorial chair by a
heavy plurality.
It is impossible to predict with any
accuracy the political complexion of
the next Congressional delegation
from this state. save it will be largely
Republican. The Democrats claim
stoutly and, with some apparent reas-
on, that they will gain number of
Representatives. 1t is generally con-
oeded, however, that they will be in a
decided minority.
The friends of Speaker Cannon con-
fdently predict his reelection by a
majority of from 5000 to 1900, while
the Democrats claim that Henry G.
Bell, their standard bearer in this dis
trict. surely will defeat Cannon.
There is every indication that the
next state Legislature, which elects a
successor to Senator Albert j. Hop
kins, will be Republican.

Cures Dyspepsia;
Trial Is Free

It is q popular mistake that only
wealthy people who leat rich and
highly-spiced foods suffer from dys-
pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi-
gestion. The laborer in the street,
the worker in the field also finds him
self victim of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from it are
women.
Dyspepsia is indicated by a constant
feeling OF laIiness. by loss Of appetite and
troubled sleep. by sour stomach and dis
tress after eating. by bad complexion and
lusterless eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for

successfully for twenty years. This great
