FORAKER IS UNRUFFLED

from Frank H. Hitchcock. Republican
National chairman, expressing regret that
the Senator had not met the Republican
leaders Jn New Tork and conveying the
hope that when Mr. Foraker was In that
city again they would meet.
The reporters desired an expression
from the Senator relative to his non-par-tlclpatlon
In the opening of the Repub
lican campaign at Youngstown, September
5, where Senator Beveridge. of Indiana,
and Governor Hughes, of New York, are
to sound the campaign keynote. The
Senator expressed his views regarding the
action of the state committee of Ohio In
Inviting him to attend the opening and
his prospective attitude in the campaign.
"I don't know," said Senator Foraker,
"what action the state committee took,
except as I have been advised by the
newspapers. I see by the morning papers
that Chairman Williams says he mailed
me an Invitation last Saturday, but I have
not received it. All I know, therefore. Is
that, according to the newspapers, I do
not appear to be either needed or wanted
at Youngstown, except to sit on the plat
form and listen to the speeches that are
delivered by the orators chosen for that
occasion. I would, of course, be glad to
hear these speeches, but I can. read them
in the newspapers.
"The fact that I do not care to make
any speeches In the circumstances, under
the auspices of the state committee, will
not necessarily interfere with my making
speeches under other auspices. I find on
my desk today a number of invitations
to speak, some from Ohio and some
from otfcer localities. If I should see fit
to accept any of these invitations, while
I should certainly try to speak In such a
way as to help the Republican cause, I
feel that I shall still be at liberty to ex
press my own views on important ques
tions about which there probably will be
more or less discussion during the prog
ress of the campaign."

Citizens of Dutch City Angered by
Arrival of Venezuelan Coast
Guard Vessel.
WILLEMSTAD. Aug. 21. The Dutch isl
and of Aruba has -furnished the latest in
cident In the existing difficulty between
the Netherlands and Venezuela.
Five days ago a Venezuelan coastguard
vessel arrived at Aruba for the purpose of
taking away the Venezuelan Consul. As
soon as the purpose of the visit became
known the people of the Island started a
demonstration. They crowded around the
residence of the Consul and wanted to
haul down his flag. The Governor of the
Island appeared, however, and succeeded
in putting an end to the discord.
The Consul refused to leave his post,
saying Illness made his going away im
possible, and consequently the coastguard
vessel sailed away with her mission un
filled. EXCLUDE VEXEZUELAX CARGO
Citizens of Curacoa Stone Brazilian
Schooner in Harbor.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ZL Official ad
vices from American Consul Cheney have
been received by the State Department
concerning the reception at Curacao of
the Brazilian schooner Maria Abagall
on July 29, when the merchants of that
island without exception joined in a
boycott on the cargo of sugar and hat
straw which had been loaded in Vene
zuela. The people of the island are
very much In need of the articles, but
the feeling ran so nigh against astro
and Venezuela that the merchants to a
man refused to accept any of the goods.
It was supposed that the Maria Aba
gall had loaded In Venezuela under a spe
cial permit, which had been denied three
weeks before to merchants of Mara
calbo. The people of the town were not at
all Inclined under the circumstances to
accept any produce from Venezuela. As
soon as the arrival of the vessel was
known a dozen merchants signed a let
ter and sent It to the captain and owner,
who was on -board the Maria Abagall.
advising him not to enter the port. He
persisted in entering, but no sooner
had he appeared than stones began to
fly and one policeman was hurt. A
squad of soldiers was sent to guard the
vessel at the pier. The people of the
town appeared to doubt the captain's
story that the cargo was his own and
that President Castro had allowed Its
departure from Venezuela without a con
sideration. The captain finally concluded to return
to Maracaibo. He saluted the flag on
Fort Amsterdam as he went out of the
port, his salute being returned.

of the Netherlands has no intention of
giving out the terms of Its reply to Presi

with all roads owned by the Rock Isl

Express Company, gets the contract. E.
H. Harrlman's determination to punish
the interests of Daniel G. Reld and the

Two months ago men at the head of the

Total for Pacific Coast for Season
Estimated at309,000 Cases.
SEATTLE, Wash.," Aug. 21. (Spe
cial.) Pink salmon are not through
running in Alaska and indeed In some
districts have scarcely started. Fall
salmon or cohoes have yet to run on
Puget Sound and the Columbia River
packing 8ea3on will last for many
weeks yet. The estimated British Co
lumbia packs up to the 8th of August
total 269,000 cases, which with a pack
on Puget Sound of 130,000 cases, makes
a total sockcye pack for the Paclflo
Coast of 399,000 cases.
The steamship .Jora arriving at Sew
ard. August 15. brought information of
Central Alaska, a district previously
unheard .'from. The most important
news Is that the packs at Karluk and
Uyak are virtually failures. Further
information is that Chignik has been
more successful, about 46,000 out of
90.000 cases being filled. A full pack
has been up at Orca for some time.
The shortage at Karluk and Uyak will
offset the 50 per cent gain at Bristol
Bay. The Bristol Bay pack as reported
from reliable sources to. the Alaska
Packers' Association, totals 1,123,000
cases, as against 762,000 for 1907, 981

ONE MAY GREET CHAMPIONS
Committee Considers Change in
Plan for Welcoming Athletes.
Instead of sending a committee of
three to New York to welcome Ore
gon's trio of world's champion ath
letes, it Is now quite probable that
only one man will go East to return
the boys to Portland. At last night's
meeting of the general committee
some doubt arose as to the ability of
Portland to raise $2000, for only a
little over $1200 was reported actually
subscribed. The committee In charge
of the collection of the fund had a
number of promises of assistance to
volunteer, but as promises do not car
ry weight when the actual cash Is re
quired, a motion to reconsider the
proposed sending of three men to New
York was passed, and instead a com
mittee consisting of Rev. A. A. Morri
son, A. H. Devers and James F. Ewing
was named to have charge of the se
lection of the delegate or delegates
who will leave for New York Sunday
night or Monday morning. This com
mittee is to meet Saturday morning
and make its selections.
In the meantime it Is urged that all
who desire to subscribe to this fund
do so at once, for the time is limited
and It is essential that this matter be
settled immediately.

SEATTLE, Aug. 21. Alton B. Parker
spoke to an audience of about 1830 at
the Coliseum last night. The meeting
was held under the Joint auspices of
the King County Democratic Club and
the Bryan Volunteers.
His speech dealt with Issues of the
National campaign and he devoted his
principal attention to the evils of the
great corporations, which he declares
are fostered by the present high tariff.
The remedy. Judge Parker declared,
is in lowering the tariff wall, and this
he doubted if the Republican party
would do if continued in power an
other four years.
Judge Parker denounced the Idea of
Federal control of corporations as a
remedy. He recommended a statute
Imposing a Jail sentence upon corpora
tion officers convicted of contributing
money to a campaign fund.

District Attorney Says Hains Trial
Will Be Brief.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21. District At
torney Darrln, of Queens County,, who
has charge of the prosecution of the
Hains brothers in connection with the
killing of William E. Annls, announced
today that Queens County could not
tolerate a great expenditure of money.
In trying the case and that there was
no necessity for a long-drawn-out
trial. Mr. Darrin continued:
"The trial of the Hains brothers will
not be a repetition of the Harry Thaw
case. To begin with, I do not think
a Queens County Jury will stand for
a brainstorm defense. The application
which I have sent to Governor Hughes,
asking for a special grand Jury, will,
I expect, be granted, and that the Gov
ernor will name a Jury to preside who
will see that the Hains brothers have
a fair and impartial trial, but at the
same time with no unnecessary delays.
"I expect to be ready to try the case
at the earliest date that can be fixed
for the triaj, which may be some time
In October."

right wing was supposedly "butchered"
by shrapnel, enfiladed perfectly from
four powerful mountain guns, yet with
his every hope centered on his enemy's
unprotected right. Major Maury Nichols,

most clever flank movement of the Amer

discussed until a late hour, and this

the plans. He expressed the opinion
that the Brooklyn Club had better
