FAMILY IN DIRE WANT.
HUSBAND IN WORKHOUSE.
WOMAN TELLS HER STORY

A woman and her two children are
slowly dying in Georgetown while her
husband lies IN the workhouse for
drunkenness, and his relatives, who are
well to do, refuse to relieve the moth
er and children's restitution and star
walton by so much as cents worth
of food.
The Associated Charities is keeping
the THO alive with little gifts of food
and fuel. The problem Of what to do
with the case came up before the
Georgetown district Of the Associated
Charities, and even these experienced
workers among the poor could offer no
solution for a case where children
starved while their fathers people lived
in plenty.

Washington, June 25-The state de.
partment has received of1cial mott.
fcation of the departure Of Jacob
Sleeper. secretary of the American
legation at Caracas, Venezuela. Mr..
Sleeper's departure leaves the United
States without diplomatic representa-
ton in the South American republic.
The affairs of the legation will be
looked after by representative of the
Brazilian legation.
For the past three years. since ques-
lions between the United States and
Venezuela first arose. Minister Rus
sell has been unable to get any salts
faction from the Venezuelan govern
ment While the fact that the United
States has no diplomatic representa-
tive in that country may result In the
withdrawal Of the Venezuelan attache
here, no advices had been received at
the Venezuelan legation.
The present situation in diplomatic
terms is known as state of expectan-
cy. The questions in dispute between
this country and Venezuela have been
in the hands Of the solicitor of the
state department for the past few
years, but no satisfaction has been
given the American representatives by
President Castro. The plague which
exists in nearly all of the Venezuelan
ports may have induced Mr.. Sleeper
to obtain leave of absence at this
time.

Berlin, June ga dispatch from
Teheran says that the firing of small
arms and artillery was still going on
Wednesday. The buildings of parlia-
ment were quite demolished by the
bombardment. Corpses of men and
bodies of horses sover the main square
of Teheran. 1t is impossible to give
the exact number of casualties, but
the Cossacks alone lost 70 men killed.
The palace of Prince Zill-es-Sultan, an
uncle of the shah, and the buildings
adjacent to it have been pllaged by
the soldiery. According to news from
the provinces, Zill-es-Sultan, who is
friendly to Great Britain, has taken
up the leadership of the movement in
the south. The night passed quietly,
but the outbreak of firing Wednesday
leads to the belief that there may he
further collisions. The government
has declared state Of siege. The
bazars throughout the country have
been closed.
Result Of Attack on Troops.
st. Petersburg, June 25.-The latest
advices received at the foreign Office
hero put different complexion on the
bombardment of the Persian house of
parliament. The action of the troops
was not, it is now stated, to enforce
the demand for the surrender Of GER
attn revolutionists. but was the result
of two attacks upon the troops in
which bombs and firearms were en-
ployed and In which the soldiers lost
heavily. The foreign Offices version,
which presumably is based upon re-
ports made by the Russian commander
Of the local Cossacks, relates that on
account of the excited state Of the
populace after the refusal of parlia-
ment to deliver the agitators the shah
sent out troops to patrol the city.
While one detachment was passing the
building in which are the headquarters
of the Tabriz Patriotic society, which
adjoins parliament, bomb was
thrown and killed or wounded num-
Der of soldiers. The Cossacks made
no reply to this onslaught, but retired
carrying their wounded. They re-
turned later with strong reinforce.
ments to capture the persons who had
hurled the bomb.
RevoIutlonists Open Fire.
While they we're drawing a Gordon
around the Tabriz building. the houses
Of parliament and the palace Of Zill-es
Sultan, in which the bomb-throwers
were thought to have taken refuge, q
second bomb was thrown at the SOL
diers and the revolutionists opened
fire on them. The troops responded
only after they had loot about 80
men. They began by firing several
rounds of blank cartridges. The fusil
ade from the revolutionists continued
however, whereupon the Cossaok com
mander ordered his men to reply with
hall cartridges. A hundred rounds o.
artillery ammunition were expended
and there was much volley firing from
relies before the buildings were cap
tured.
