Denver, July it.—The Democratic
national convention concluded its la­
bors late yesterday afternoon by the
nomination of John Worth Kern, of
Indi.ma, for vice-president, complet­
ing the ticket on which William J
Bryan was made the nominee for
president during the early hours ol
the morning.
The nomination of Mr. Kern was
made by acclamation, amid the re­
sounding cheers of delegates and spec­
tators. No ballot was necessary, as
the trend of sentiment had set irre
sistibly toward the Indiana candidate,
state alter state registering its dele­
gations m his favor, and ail other can
didates withdrawing before the uni­
versal demand for his nomination
'1 he convention, after adjourning at
daylight with the nomination of Mr.
Bryan, resumed its session at 1 P. M„
with ajiowerful undercurrent already
in motion toward the nomination of
Mr. Kern for second place. On the
call of states Indiana presented the
name of Kern; Colorado, through ex­
Governor Thomas, placed in nomina­
tion Charles A. Towne, of New' York;
Connecticut presented Archibald Mc­
Neill, ami Georg.a, Clark Howell.
The names of Judge George Gray, of
Delaware, and John •Mitchell, of Illi­
nois, were not presented, owing to the
positive requests of these men not to
have their names go before the con­
vention.
Tor a time it looked as though a
ballot would be required, but the
steady line of states which joined in
seconding Mr.
Kern's nomination
soon made it apparent that the
chances of all other candidates had
been extinguished.
Mr. Towne in person was the first
candidate tfi recognize the decisive
nature of the Kern movement, and in
a ringing speech he withdrew his
name from consideration and pledged
his support to the ticket of Bryan and
Kern
Withdrawals quickly followed
from the supporters of Howell, of
Georgia, and McNeill, of Connecticut,
leaving the Indiana candidate alone
in the field. The withdrawal of the
Connecticut candidate was accom­
panied by a motion that Mr. Kern be
nominated by acclamation
The mo­
tion was carried with a deafening
shout, and the great assemblage broke
into clamorous demonstration on the
accomplishment of its work and the
completion of the Democratic ticket
The nomination was made at 4:23
o’c’ock. and the convention thereupon
adjourned without date. The Demo­
cratic national committee will assem­
ble this morning to complete its new
organization and to select the chair­
man. who wi'l be the commander in­
chief of the Democratic forces in the
campaign. The throngs of delegates
and spectators are scattering tonight
for their homes.
LIKE OLD-TIME PROPHETS.
Minister
Hails Roosevelt as World's
Greatest Preacher.
Edinburgh. July 11 -At yesterday’s
session of the International Congrega­
tional Convention, Dr. Mills, of Chica­
go, speaking on the hearing of New
Testament ethics on the family and eco­
nomic relations, referred to what he
disignated as the "work of America’s
greatest preacher, who for several years
lias used the White House in the spirit
of the old time prophets to apply the
moral law to the great American cor­
porations.” The practical result of this
teaching is a revival of the sense of the
ethical responsibility.
The speaker declared that neither of
the great political parties dared to nom­
inate a man to the presidency who was
not known to be a teacher of righteous­
ness.
During a discussion that followed,
Dr. Brown, of California, declared that
incidentally he bad seen more drunk­
enness in Edinburgh in a single ij»y
than in a whole month in ‘ wicked San
Francisco.”

RELATIONS SEVERED.
WARSHIP TO GOfcSOUIH.
Venezuelan Consul Prepares to Leave
Washington.
American Vessel Sent to Honduras to
Investigate Trouble.
Washington, July 11- The dip'o-
matic relations between America and
Venezuela, that have existed uninter­
ruptedly for more than half a cen­
tury, though in recent years severely
strained, were yesterday completely
severed
At 3:30 o’clock yesterday
afternoon Senor Veloz-Goiticoa, the
Venezuelan charge d'affaires, called
at the state department by appoint­
ment to present to Acting Secretary
¡'■aeon notice from his government
that he was to quit his post here, clos
ing up the Venezuelan legation ill
Washington and repair forthwith to
Venezuela.
The charge explained that the ac­
tion of the state department in with
drawing Jacob Sleeper, the American
charge, from Caracas, and in closing
lip its legation there, made it nec-.s
ary for his government to take sim­
ilar action in the case of its legation
in Washington.
The charge made no demand for his
passports, nor could he do so consist­
ently, in view of the fact that For­
eign Minister Paul had declined to
issue such passports to the American
charge when he withdrew from Cara
cas, on the ground that there was no
necessity for passports, the country
being in profound’peace, and his per
son not being threatened in any way.
Senor Veloz stated that the li es and
papers of the Venezuelan legation
would be placed in the custody of
Senor Jacobo Pimental. the Venezu
elan consul general in New York.
This statement is regarded as an in
dication that the Venezuelan govern
ment will follow tile precedent estab­
lished by the United States in refrain
ing from closing the consulates, No
arrangement has been made for the
transaction of any diplomatic business
which Venezuela might find it abso
lutely necessary to transact, through
some unforeseen contingency.
Washington, July 14.— It was an-
nounced at the state department Sat-
urday that an American warship will
be sent to Port Amapala, Honduras,
to investigate the reports that Hon­
duras revolutionists are rapidly push­
ing forward with a view to capturing
the city.
1 liese messages were re­
ceived at the state department Satur­
day. From the tenor of the tele­
grams, no apprehension is felt th J
the dispute will involve other Central
American republics.
Dispatches from Salvador Saturday
state that a number of arrests of Sal­
vadorean revolutionists have been
made by the Salvadorean government
because it was thought they were aid­
ing the revo'ution
The Ho-ulur m
government is evidently trying to
suppress the disturbances.
In accordance with the request Ol
the siate <i< partment the bureau of
navi; ition Saturday afternoon issued
orde s to tie protected cruiser Al
b.any to proceed at once to .Aniapala.
The Albany is now at Panama, where
she had gone from San Francisco to
take marines to preserve peace in the
coming Panama elections. She will
carry 101) marines to Aniauala the os-
tensib'e reasi n for her visit to the
Central American port being a threat
to the Honduran government to pre­
serve peace After the Honduran rev­
olution is quieted the Albany wil take
the marines to San Francisco.
FOR MERIT ONLY.
New Chief of Army Engineers is Not
a Politician.
Washington. July 10. — President
Roosevelt recognized merit when he
appointed Colonel Wiliam L. Mar
shall as chief of engineers of the
army. He picked the best man in the
engineer corps, and the one who. in
the opinion of unbiased officials of
the department and of the army, was
most entitled to the promotion, an 1
in recognizing the merit of Colonel
Marshall, he placed the corps in the
hands of the man most competent to
handle it. In deciding "ipott Colonel
Marshall, the president was swayed
by Secretary Taft, who from the first
has favored the selection of Marshall
for this post.
Colonel Marshall is physically a
man of the Taft type, and for that
reason there may have been a bond
of sympathy between them
Last
fall, when the army riding tests were
held, the president threatened to re­
tire Colonel
Marshall .because he
lint the fail
failed to make the ride
ure was not due to the disinclination
on the part of the new chief of engi
neers; it was due to the fact that no
horse could be found in all the army
stables who could carry the rotund
colonel for a full day’s ride, as lie
tips the scales at nearly 31)0 pounds

Government Retakes Gracias, Rebels
Threaten Puerto Cortez.
Washington, July 15—Official ail
i ices which reached the state depart­
ment yesterday confirm the press re­
ports that the Honduran government
forces have retaken the small town of
Gracias, and add that they arc about
to move to tile more important city
of Choluteca. To this extent the gov­
ernment appeals to have the advan
tagc.
On the other hand Honduras is
menaced from the northern border.
On the Caribbean sea border there
are continua'ly reiterated reports of
attacks on 1’ueio C irlez, while Gen
eral Lee Christmas, whom the state
department ol'I'n als style a soldier of
fortune, is reported in the country
just a few u i'les fr i p Puerto Cortez.
The force mentioned in one of the
dispatches as being on a small island
about lx miles distant from Puerto
Cortez is presumably the one from
which an attack is feared.
The state department is being fully
advised of the situation in the whole
Central American district, but Mr.
Dodge the minister to Honduras and
Salvador, explains that reliable infor­
mation is difficult to obtain
The United States and Mexican
governments still continue to use
their best efforts to keep peace in
that part of the world, but have gone
to the extent thus far only of offering
their friendly mediation. The Amer
ican cruiser Albany is now on its way
from Panama to Amapala, the Pacific
coast port of Honduras.

The oililia's believe that Japan is
