FOR M E R IT O N L Y .
N ew C hief o f Army Engineers is Not
a Politician.
Washington,. July 10. — President
Roosevelt recognized merit when he
appointed Colonel W ilia m L. Mar
shall as chief o f engineers o f the
array. He picked the best man in the
engineer corps,'and the one who, in
the opinion o f unbiased officials of
the department and o f the army, was
most entitled to the promotion, and
in recognizing the merit of Colonel
Marshall, he placed the corps in the
hands o f the man most competent to
handle it. In deciding upon Colonel
Marshall, the president was swayed
by Secretary Taft, who from the first
has favored the selection o f Marshall
fo r this post.
Colonel Marshall is physically a
man o f the Taft type, and for that
Teason there may have been a bond
o f sympathy between them
Last
fall, when the army riding tests were
held, the president threatened to re
tire Colonel Marshall .because he
failed to make the ride. But the fail
ure was not due to the disinclination
on the part o f the new chief o f engi
neers; it was due to the fact that no
horse could be found in ail the army
stables who could carry the rotund
colonel for a full day’s ride, as he
tips the scales at nearly 300 pounds.
Killed in Paraguay Revolution.
Washington, Tuly 10.— Information
received at the state department yes
terday is that the estimated loss of
life in the recent revolution in Para
guay was from 100 to 150 persons,
while 100 were wounded.' The in
formation came to the department in
a dispatch from Edward C. O'Brien
American minister to Uruguay and
Paraguay. The revolution began on
July 2, when the minister o f war was
taken prisoner. The dispatch came
by way of Buenos Ayres, dated July
7. and at that time the City o f Asun
cion, where the revolution began, was
tranquil.

Crimes* Make American Uniforms.
Washington, July 9„—Secretary of
W ar Wright has received From Con
necticut manufacturers o f khaki elogla a
protest against the nse eP English-made
khaki for uniforms. The protest re
cites that the uniforms were not only
o f British material, but wgre made up
In Manila by Chinese labor, thus ex
cluding not only American manufactur
ers of khaki, but American labor in the
production of uniforms. The complaint
was. made through President Roosevelt.
Trouble Brews in Honduras.
Washington. July 7.— Information
has reached the state department o f
a proposed revolutionary movement
against the government o f Honduras
undsr the leadership o f former Presi
dent Bonilla. N o details are given.
Th e governments of Salvador and
Guatemala have given directions to
prevent any movement o f that charac
ter taking form in those countries.
Agreement With Mexico.
Washington, Juiy 11.— A perfect
understanding between. Mexico and
the United States as to this govern
ment's purpose to take all steps pos
sible to prevent violations o f neutral
ity laws on the Mexican border, was
reached at a two hours’ conference
between Acting Secretary of State
Bacon snd Ambassador Creel.
T w o Years fo r Forgsry.
Chicago, July 10.— Daniel Keller,
ex-captain in the United States army,
recently convicted of defrauding the
government through the use o f itolen
quartermaster's checks, w af yesterday
sentenced to serve tw o years at hard
labor in the federal prison at Leaven
worth, Kan.
Washington, July T,— Because they
say the United States is interfering
wantonly in the carrying out of her
naval plans, Brazil, through her diplo
matic agents here, is planning a
sweeping system o f retaliation, where
by 20 per cent preferential tariff to
Americans in Brazil will be abolished
and Brazilian war craft disposed of
in any way which the Brazilian g o v
ernment sees fit.
“ The movement w ill be begun by
concerted agitation in the Brazilian
newspapers,
a Brpzilion diplomat
said to a United States -naval officer.
"W e consider it our right to do what
we please with our ships. It is ®o-
body's business. There is no reason
why the United States should closely
supervise our naval programme and
ferret out each informal agreement
which may or may not have been
reached.”
*
Proof that Brazil has already sold
one torpedo-boat to Japan prompted
these statements. I) is said that Bra
zil has ordered 20 battleships to be
built in European shipyards, and that
these vessels, whin completed, will
be turned over to Japan.
aion, lasting a little over two hours,
was notable mors fo r its impressive
magnitude snd speetaeular open'
than for the business accomplished,
gave, however, the opportunity for the
opening echoes of tbs convention ea-
thus!asm in the keynote spOeeh o f the
temporary presiding officer, Theodore
A. Bell, o f Californio; a hoated skir
mish incidental to the contest in the
Pennsylvnnia delegation; and, finally,
n unanimous tribute o f homage and
respect to the memory o f the late
Grover Cleveland.
But the enthusiasm of the opening
session was comparatively brief, inter-
termittent and tempestuous, without
that long-sustained and frenzied elamor
which is still reserved for the future.
The day was devoted ehiefly to the pri
mary formalities, and the cozrmittees
appointed are now at work perfecting
the permanent organization to be pre
sented today. Meantime the conven
tion hosts chafe over the two days’ de
lay which must intervene before, their
gr^at purpose is accomplished—the
nomination o f a presidential
'
candidate.
Drive O ff Sheriffs, W ho G o to Inves
tigate Trouble.
Chicago, July 8.— The report o f the
American Railway aasoeiatioa, giving
the number of idle freight ears ia the
country oa June 24, shows that during
the two weeks from June 10 to 24 there
was a decrease o f 36,720 ia the num
ber o f surplus cars. About one-third
o f this represents a decrease ia the
number o f idle box ears.
*
The improvement' was by no means
uniform the country over. In th® New
England states there was an increase
in the number of idle ears, while the
Middle Western state showed substan
tial decreases. There were on June 24
a total of 312,847 idle ears in this
country and Canada on the roads re
porting to the American Railway asso
ciation, compared with 349,507 on June
10, and with a maximum of 413,338 oa
April 29.
The decrease reported is the fourth
consecutive decrease in two months, or
a total reduction of 100,491 idle freight
ears.
,
The resumption o f mining in parte of
the bituminous coal fields, which were
idle for most bf the month o f April,
was the first important -factor whieh
operated toward a decrease in the num
ber of idle ears, while more recently
the increased demand for. box ears,
much o f it seemingly connected with
the crop moving requirements, has fur
ther decreased the idle lint.
Washington, July 7.— The navy de
partment today opened bids for the
purchase o f three steam colliers o f
American registry, 7200 tons dead
weight, maximum cost $525,000. O f
|he four bids received, the Mason
company, o f Boston, offered to sell
its colliers, the Everett, Maiden and
Melrose, for $725.000, and the New
Y ork Shipbuilding company, o f Cam
den, N. J., bid to construct three ves
sels, 7450 tonnage, at $439,000 each.
The Maryland Steel company, of Bal
timore. bid to build one vessel for
$403,000; tw o for $397,000, or three for
$395,000 each, all o f the twin screw
type, 12 knots, 7200 tons; single screw
type, 12 knots, 7200 tons, $377,500 each
for two, $376,000 each for three ves
sels. Cramp & Sons, o f Philadelphia,
bid for $475,000 for one or all three,
'll knots, 8200 tons.

his findings to the state department,

Washington.
Washington, July 11.— The diplo
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. A t 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
Bacon notice from his government
that he was to quit his post here, clos
ing up the Venezuelan legation in
Washington and repair forthwith tQ
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
up its legation there, made it neccs
sary for his government to tske.sim
ilar action in the case o f its legation
in W ashin g«® .
The charge made no demand for'his
passports, nor could he do t o consist
ently, in view o f 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 V eloz stated that the files 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 the precedent estab
lished by the United States in refrain
ing from «closing the consulates. N o
arrangement has been made for the
transaction o f any diplomatic business
which Venezuela might find it abso
lutely necessary to transact, through
some unforeseen contingency. 1
