United States Diplomatic Rep
resentatives at Castro's Capital
Turn Over Affairs to the Bra.
lillian Legation.
PERSONA NON GRATA.
Sleeper Told That He Did Not
Need Amy Passports
And Is Wished a Happy Voyage
to His Home.

Caracas, Venezuela, June %, via
willemstad. June 24.-The members of
the American legation are awaiting the
arrival of the United States gunboat
Marietta at Porto Cabello, the warship
having been ordered there for the pur-
pose of transferring them to the United
States. Jacob Sleeper. who has been
acting as charge d'affaires since the
departure of the American minister, w.
w. Russell, and Lieutenant Francis A.
Ruggles. the military attache, with
drew from the legation at Caracas on
Saturday and proceeded to Porto Ca
bello.
The interests of the United States
were placed in charge of the Brazilian
European nations are having consid-
cradle friction with President Castro's
government. The American consular
agent. John Brewer. remains here in
charge of the archives.
All kinds OF rumorS are current and
the withdrawal of the representatives
of the United States is not quite un-
derstood by Venezuelans. 1t is prob
able, too. that there Will be an early
rupture with Holland. and there are
reports that revolution against the
administration is organizing in Colom-
bia. As matters now stand, the United
States, France and Colombia practical
ly have no relations with Venezuela:
Great Britain and Holland have seri-
Gus questions pending with the gov
eminent; Germany alone has no dis
pute.
Before his withdrawal from the
legation, Mr.. Sleeper sent a note to
the government asking for passports.
This note was answered in very con-
siderate language and the American
charge was informed that passports
were unnecessary. inasmuch as he per-
sonally was persona grata, and that
displomatic immunity would continue
until he was on board the Marietta,
there being no question of war involv-
ed. The communication to Mr.. Sleep
err extended to him the cordial wishes
of the administration for happy
voyage.
Diplomatic Relations Served.
Washington. June 24.-Mr. Voloz,
the Venezuelan charge has not yet
been advised by his government of
the withdrawal of Mr.. Sleeper. the
American charge at Caracas. Con-
sequently he will not apply for his
passports unless he is ordered to do so
and he does not expect such an order.
Diplomatic relations with those
qualifications are consequently under
stood to be completely severed with
America and Venezuela. Charge
Sleeper has not yet reported his de-
parture to the state department, his
last cablegram from Caracas relating
to the plague situation. Acting Secre-
tary Adee is to confer with Secretary
Root and Assistant Secretary Bacon
and will then probably make public
the last diplomatic correspondence re-
lating to the Venezuelan troubles.
President Castro has refused to arbi-
trate five distinct claims made against
Venezuela by the United States gov
eminent.
Nothing Doing at Oyster Bay.
Oyster Bay. n. Y, June 2.-What
motion, If any. is to be taken by Pres
ident Roosevelt in the Venezuelan sit
uation, is not yet known here.

Improper Letters to Sweetheart.

Edward Jinings, young man, 27
years of age, has been arrested for
writing an improper letter to Miss
Imogene Bivens. who lives on rural
route 6, Station A, postoffive North To-
peka. The United States postoffice
authorities were notified and as the
result of the work of an inspector a
complaint was sworn out and Jinings
arrested by B. F. F1enniken, deputy
United States marshal, at the Forbes
elevator in North Topeka, where jim
ings had been employed.
The young man had been attentive
to the young lady to whom the letter
was sent. but his attentions were not
appreciated by the girls parents, who
ordered him to remain away, it is
said. The letter was then mailed by
Jinings. which caused the trouble.
He waived the preliminary hearing
when taken before United States Com
missioner A. F. Williams and was or
dered held under $500 bail for the
federal grand Jury in default Of which
he was remanded to the Shawnee
county Jail. His case will be presented

less Jinings secures the necessary bail
he will have to remain all summer
long in the jail here

Candidates for Office Are Great
ly Exercised.
Believed Time for Filing Petit
lions Ends Tonight.
MANY COME In TODAY.
Democrats Have Many Congress
sional Aspirants.
Fred Jackson's Opponent Files
His Papers.

1t is possible that today is the last
day on which primary nomination
papers can be filed. 1t has always
been generally understood that June
25 was the last day but the attorney
general has been looking up some
legal presidents in the matter and
while he has not given an official
opinion yet it is probable that he will
give one this afternoon holdig that
this Is the last date.
The primary law says that forty
days before the date of the primary
the nomination papers must be filed
with the secretary of state. Tomor-
row is the fortieth day before the pri-
mary and the question now being con-
sidered is whether the primary law
permits the filing of petitions on the
fortieth day or whether all the petit
lions must be filled previous to and
not including the fortieth day.
The question came up when F. Du-
mont Smith asked If his petitions
would be accepted If filed tomorrow.
No one had questioned the matter be-
fore. The proposition was then sub
mitted to the attorney general and
he was asked to give an official opinion
at once. With the information he
found in a preliminary search 1t was
decided to notify all candidates that
we're known 10 get their papers In
today and avoid the danger of the
papers being thrown out by the can
wasting board. If anyone is unable to
get his petitions filed 1t Is probable
that a suit would be started at once to
test the question and get an authorita-
tive opinion from the supreme court
on the question.
There appears to be a lively scrap
among the Democrats in most of the
congressional districts. As far as known
there are two Democratic candidates
in all the districts except the Eighth.
The following have filed their petit
lions:
T. ]. Hudson, Third district.
Mayo Thomas, Third district.
w. S. Fleming, Sixth district.
John Connolly, Sixth district.
j. I. Neihart, Fourth district.
T. H. Grisham, Fourth district.
The petitions of other Democratic
congressional aspirants are on the way
and will be filed today. J. NJ. Miller
who wants to be re-nominated by the
Republicans for congress in the Fourth
district filed his petitions today.
A. L. Williams of Columbus who
wants Fred S. Jackson's job as attor-
ney general came to Topeka today and
will file his petitions this afternoon.
Both of the Republican candidates for
governor and Chester 1. Long, candi-
date for United States senator, filed
their petitions this afternoon.
