Many Cases Said to Exist at La Guaira, But Not Officially. Caracas, Venezuela, June 17.—The dreaded plague has at last come to Ca racas which for a few months past, has been hoping against hope that it might be spared from the scourge which had stricken the neighboring port of LaGuaira. The case was that of an employe of the famous I,a India cafe. It was realized that the presence of the bubonic plague in such quarters meant that no section of the city was sab- from its ravages. Last week an employe of La India cafe died suddenly and it was an nounced that the cause of death was tetanus, or lockjaw, allhough it be came known that the body was buried immediately arid a watch set on the house by the police. It was only today tlmt the people became convinced that the plague had got a real hold on the city. Officially no epidemic exists in Ven zue’a. President Castro’s decree of May L’S announced the stamping out of the nameless disease and the open ing of La Ouaira to commerce. This decree has not been revoked, although the port lias remained closed and there are numerous cases there at the pres ent time. The most reliable figures ob tainable from private sources give about l'to eases in La Guaira since the epidemic began two months and a half ago. COL. JOSEPH NOBLE.

Thinks He Made Wrong State ment and Broods Over II Until a Mental and Physical Wreck •••Taken to Asylum. Chicago, June 17.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Sterling, Ills., says: From a strong man physically and mentally, to an inmate of an insane asylum, wrecked both in mind and body, is the metamorphosis of a prom inent minister of this city through the hallucination that he had told a lie about a member of his congregation. I lev. Ezra Flory has for a long time been the pastor of the Church of th» Brethren, better known as the Drunk ard church, in this city. Mr. Flory taught, a liberal interpretation of ttie Bible. No word of his mouth admitted of doubt until a short time ago. Ilis intimate friends were puzzled one day to hear him speak of injuring one of liis devotees by speaking untruthful ly of him. They investigated, learned that such a condition probably existed only in the mind of their pastor, and endeav ored to lead him away from liis morose tli nights. Their efforts were of no avail. From dwelling on the subject among friends, the minister continued until he included everybody to whom he talked in his self-denunciation. Refer ences to the bugaboo which en thralled him began to creep into his sermons. Then the delusion grew lo the extent that he imagined himself pursued by the person he thought lie had wronged. At last it became imperative that something must be done. His ease was taken into tlie probate court and last night after having been adjudged of unsound mind he was taken to an asy lum.

He got four of them while they were still struggling and put them safely in boats which were near the scene. The fifth boy, Clyde Rayfuse, of 97 War wick street, Roxbury. went to the bot tom and McCauley had to dive twice before He brought him to the surface. Young Rayfuse was revived and taken to the City hospita'w A THOUSAND LEFT. Steamer For Europe Leaves Many Passengers Which Her Steerage Cannot Accommodate, For Next Ship. Big Crowd Camps In Hoboken Park For the Present. Now York. Juno 17.—More than a thousand persons holding steerage tickets for European ports were left behind by the steamer Potsdam when she sailed today with her steerage quarters tilled to their capacity of 2000. The thousand who were unable to find accommodations on the ship were assured that they would be taken on the next outgoing steamer. As early as last evening the steamer's steerage quarters were filled, but ev ery train from the West brought in scores of homeward bound foreigners who had purchased tickets through the company’s Western agencies. The police had considerable difficulty in holding back the crowds who attempt ed to force their way on board the Potsdam and several times clubs were used by the guardians of the law. Many of the prospective passengers have little or no money beyond what will be required to get them to their homes and it is likely that, they will remain in one of Hoboken's parks, where they are now camped, until the next steamer sails. The great homeward rush of foreign ers is believed to be largely due to the extremely low rates now offered for eastward bound steerage passengers.

Chicago, June 17.—The second day of the Republican national convention has brought the long expected Roose velt yell, a whirlwind of enthusiasm which raged within the vast amphi theater of the Coliseum for full 45 minutes today, and for a time pre senting to the timid the spectre of a Roosevelt stampede. This demonstra tion was decidedly the feature of a day otherwise notable for a stirring speech from the permanent chairman of the convention, Senator Henry Cab ot Hodge of Massachusetts, for much practical procedure in placing the con vention on a smooth running, and for the final defeat of the plan to reduce the representation of Southern states at future national conventions. Probably the most important act of the day, and the one having greatest significance was the adoption of the re port of the committee on credentials, seating the Taft delegations practical ly in toto. If there had been any lin gering doubt of the Taft strength it disappeared before this decisive action, which in effect placed upwards of 700 delegates in the Taft column. Next in importance and most remarkable, was the final acceptance of this result by the “Allies.” without the formality of a dissenting minority report, and without carrying the ques tion to the floor of the convention for the open fight which had been long threatened. Instead of this all further opposition seemed to crumble; thus; who had promised trouble quietly ac cepted the inevitable, and thus the path was cleared for the fulfillment of plans already well matured for the nomination of the head of the ticket. Favorites, still have, however, thPir bands of steadfast supporters, who will show their loyalty when the first bal lot is taken. The scene within the Col iseum today repeated that of yester ilay ia the magnitude and brilliancy of its spectacular features. Again every seat was occupied and 14,000 pcopl° packing floors and aisles and galleries and platform, joined in the ebb and flow of the agitation and enthusiasm. Temporary Chairman Burrows called !h*' convention to order promptly at 12.20, but the delay of committees in reporting gave an hour for diversion before the work of the day was be gun. This time was given over to the visiting clubs with bands and vocal choruses, bearing banners and strange devices of elephants. In front of the delegates paraded this throng, eliciting laughter and applause. The hit of the parade was a glee club which halted before the Ohio delegation and varied the enlivening strains of “Billy Taft, yep that's me” with a ntelan cholly dirge for Bryan. This diversion over the convention turned to the committee representa tives. First was that of credentials— the very foundation on which dele gates held their seats and voted. It was presented by Senator Fulton of Oregon in a three-minute speech stat ing that the action of the national committee had been fully justified and upheld. For a moment delegates looked about for the lire breathing Bookwal ter of Indiana, who had led the minor ity forces and had promised a lively fight on the floor. But Mr. Bookwalter sat with the Indiana delegation, shak ing his head in answer to inquiries and announcing that the fight had been abandoned as only three delegates would undertake to bear the brunt of the convention on the floor. The re port was quickly approved with only a fe.v scattered votes in opposition. The presentation of the report on permanent organization was the sig nal to Senator Burrows to yield his place as temporary chairman and to escort to the platform the pennant nt chairman of the convention, Senator Bodge of Massachusetts. Mr. Lodge, business like, looked as from a later generation than the white-haired re tiring chairman. His voice, too, hail that resonant New England twang which made it ring out to the fur thest corners of the galleries, carrying metaphor which started the listeners to attention and applause. “The fevered fancy of an uneasy dream” was his indictment hurled at the visionary policies of opposition parties. The applause had hardly died away when Mr. Lodge launched his sentence which electrified the assem blage into its first real demonstra tion of wild enthusiasm. “The President,” exclaimed Mr. Lodge, "is the best abused and the most popular man in the United States today.” This was the long awaited sig nal. Instantly a shout broke from the galleries and was echoed back from the floor, at first only a tempest of detached yells and catcalls and shouts of “Teddy" but gradually gathering force and volume swelled to a whirl wind of sound and motion as delegates and spectators rose en masse, mount ing chairs, waving banners, hats, handkerchiefs, flags, maps, anything which could be seized ujjon to add tur bulence to the scene. Amid the tumult the hand struck up but the crash of the brass and drums was completely lost in the babel of sound which welled up from H,000 throats. For the first minute Senator Lodge stood waiting to proceed, occasionally raising his hand for silence, only to awaken a defiant yell twice louder than before. Five minutes passed and instead of abating the uproar was increasing. The sergeant-at-arms moved up a chair for the presiding officer, and Senator Lodge sank back to await a lull in tbe storm.' Five minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes. There was no lull, no abatement. A bourse roar bad taken tile place'of the detached yells. “Four, four, four years more,” came hi deafening choruses from the full sweep of the gallery, each “four, four’’ exploding like the boom of heavy ar tillery. Fifteen minutes, 20 minutes, 25 min utes. Now delegates were joining in the outbreak. Some liad mounted chairs— Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee—and were going madly. One delegate at the left had torn off his coat and was whip ping it wild about bis head. Texas and Kentucky appeared to be tbe cen ter of the agitation on the floor. New York viewed the storm with calm and so did Ohio, except strangely, one of the lonesome Foraker delegates, Judge Marcus Shoup, who, mounted on a chair, kept both arms in motion with a waving flag and a newspaper ami liis voice joining in the general pande monium. Thirty minutes, 3." minutes, 40 min utes, 45 minutes. A full three-quarters of an hour had passed in this bewildering confu sion of sight and sound. For a time some fear was felt by some that a stampede was imminent. Hut the po litical generals were glad to give the enthusiasm of the multitude this out let of expression and at no time was there the slightest apprehension among them that the well-devised plans would miscarry, through some over powering movement. Frank H. Hitch cock, the Taft manager, moved about the floor, smiling as the tumult was at its height. “Tlie cheers for Roosevelt today will be for Taft tomorrow,” he said, with confidence. Witn the subsidence of the Roose velt storm. Senator Lodge completed his stirring speech, and then the con vention turned to tbe reports of the other committees. That on rules and order of business brought a majority report against the resolution offered by James Francis Burke of Pennsylva nia reducing the representation of states to a basis of the Republican vote lust by those states. Mr. Burke presented a minority report in which 17 of tlie states concurred. A sharp contest occurred on this question, bringing for the first time before tlie convention some of its best known orators, including Burke of Pennsylvania, Governor Willson of Kentucky, the veteran Kiefer of Ohio, ex-Governor Herrick of Ohio. Remind of Arkansas, Buckingham of Illinois, Wadsworth of New York. Mudd of Maryland, ex-Governor Warmouth of Louisiana, and the negro orator from Georgia, Henry Lincoln Johnson. The resolution was finally defeated, by the close vote of 506 against 471, a margain of 17 votes in a total of 977, three delegates being absent. The change of a single state might have a I tei ed the entire result. Although de feated, Mr. Burke said the result had shown a tremendous growth of senti ment in favor of this restricted repre sentation and that in his opinion the success of the plan appeared beyond doubt. Tlie final details of the platform are being arranged by the platform com mittee tonight, and this accomplished, tlie convention will be equipped tomor row to make its declaration of policy .'ii’il propped to the selection of candi dates. Tomorrow's session will open at 10 o'clock in the morning, instead of at noon as heretofore, so that a full day .may be had for the discussion of principles and men. The platform Is expected to go before the convention early in the day and its adoption will 1h followed by the speeches placing in nomination the candidates for Presi dent. Chicago, June 17.—Down to busi ness at last, the 14th Republican na tional convention entered upon its second day with several important factors unsettled and with trouble enougli in sight to make it practically certain that at least two days ntore must lie consumed before nominations can be made and the work of the con vention completed. There was a striking contrast last night between the gaiety of the crowds in the hotel corridors and cafes idly and noisily whiling away their time, and the grim struggle in which the two most important standing committees wire engaged -that on credentials con tinuing throughout the night. The ho- t tcls were scenes of what might be called harmless riot; singing, cheering crowds In ceaseless, endless lines passing back and forth; campaign songs of old times and new were sung, and tlie far corners of the great build ings rang with cheers for everybody, from Roosevelt and the favorite sons, down to the most infinitesimal leader of n Repuldican forlorn hope. Every where also were the little groups of wiseacres, laying down political law and gospel with that incomparable so lemnity which is the unfailing mark of the rear rank delegate at a political convention. Meanwhile the real questions imme diately at issue were being threshed out in the committees on resolutions and credentials. The proposed plank In the platform relating to the limitation of the use of court injunctions in labor controversies was of course the prin cipal none of contention. The commit tie reft rred the question to it sub-com mittee late in the evening atul adjourn ed until tliis morning. At that time sur face indications pointed to a long ami bitter struggle. Late in the night, how evi r, it became known that a com promise was likely; that efforts were making to get together on an Injunc tion plank fairly acceptable to all the various elements. Such a compromise would remove a factor which not only would have greatly prolonged the de liberations of the committee, but if at last carried to the floor of the conven tion would have precipitated a strug gle, the final outcome of which It would be dillicult to forecast; for while it early became evident that the majority of the sub-committee was in sympathy with the views of the na tional administration on this subject, there was some doubt whether this was true of the whole resolutions committee. The bitterness which has been displayed on both sides of the question gave ominous throat of a storm of no small proportions should the controversy be flung into the con vention in its crude form. All night the committee on creden tials ploughed through the long line of contests and few were much sur prised to find that all the decisions confirmed those of the national com mittee. There was much Interest In the announcement that a dissenting report from the defeated minority of this committee would be presented to tlie convention, but tlie Taft people appar ently had already in hand votes more than enough to dispose of the matter without serious delay. The committee on rules and order of business also had troubles of Its own and adjourned until this morning with an unsettled controversy of importance on its hands. It was over the proposi tion to reduce the ratio of representa tion in future national conventions. The question was before the commit tee in tiie form of two resolutions, one (Continued on Page Five.)

Committee on nomination—Rev. A. L. Gerrish, Oakland; Rev. E. K. Jor dan, Pittsfield; Retire Webber, Clinton. The conference sermon was preached by Rev. J. E. Smith of Clinton who took for his text Roman vlii 31: “What Then Shall We Say to Those Things.” The speaker began by remarking that the people in Paul’s day were saying, “What’s the Use?” "What Shall We Do?” and Paul tried to hearten them by saying, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” The courts, the judges and the whole jurisprudence was against them, and so there was some reason for them saying, “What is the use.” There were probably some in that time who said, “What if God and Christ should fail us?" There were about them men whose gods had fail ed them. As a people the Romans were opposed to Christianity. And in reply Paul says. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?’’ This refers back to that other statement of Paul's. “To them that love the Lord all things work together for good.” The speaker said that the key to this expression of Paul is to bo found in the words “all thing.’’ Some things do work together for good to the one who does not love God. The winds bear his argosies over the sea and bear them back bearing rich treasure. But when the thing he has cherished in his j heart is taken away from him he iias nothing left. The things not seen with mortal eyes outgloried and outdid what the world calls real to the eyes of David and Paul. Things that are seen are in constant llux. The unseen is the tiling that is constant. Discussing the question whether Christianity is losing ground, the speaker said that the question must be considered from the standpoint of the individual and front the standpoint of the world, the aggregation of individ uals. If the world is growing better it is because the good predominates over the bad; if it is growing worse, it is because the bad predominates over the good. It is necessary to de termine the preponderance. It is in evidence, first, that the bad is- not yet exterminated. It is in evidence, sec ond. that the bad is growing "badder” to use the child’s expression. It is in evidence further than the good has not been exterminated and it is in evi dence also that the good is growing. The world today is proud of her church. Moreover, it is in evidence that the good is.growing faster than the bad. More than ever Christianity is dictating to the nations of the world programs of saneness. Our Lord is coming to his own. The Kingdom of Christ is moving on its way and the Kingdoms of world must move out of the way or be destroyed. In conclu sion the speaker said that it was his belief that the world was indeed grow ing better. Afternoon Session. The afternoon was occupied by the Woman's Missionary Society, the exer cises being in charge of Mrs. Jennie M. Randlett of Pittsfield, president. After a praise service, the exercises opened with the reading of the reports of the Woman's Auxiliaries of Pitts field and Waterville. "Is the Women's Missionary Society Necessary?’’ was the theme of a thoughtful paper by the prsident, Mrs. Jennie M. Randlett of Pittsfield. The methods followed by the workers was sketched in detail. The speaker be lieved that the mission work lost much of its efficiency without organized ef fort among church women. Mrs. Maud Rose of Waterville ren dered a solo, “Nearer. My God to Thee.” in a very pleasing manner. "Our Work in Africa.” was the topic of Mrs. Mary B. Wingate of Pittsfield. Miss Eva Gotlandcr recited a hum orous selection. The next number on the program was a paper, "Where Is Macedonia?” by Mrs. Addie E. Shepherd of Water ville. The speaker, beginning with an appreciation of the Apostle Paul, cited his call to Macedonia, and urged that the Macedonia of the Christian work er of today in the world. A trio consisting of Mrs. Maud Rose of Waterville, Mrs. J. L. Smith of Clin ton and A. E. Purinton of Waterville. rendered a selection. Remarks were made by Rev. A. D. Dodge of Waterville. Rev. J.

The president appointed as members of the nominating committee: Rev. A. D. Dodge, Rev. E. K. Jordan and Mrs. Ida Af. Lyford. The Scripture lesson was then read from I Peter II. A testimony service of 15 minutes was then held. Airs. Chrystine Daggett of Waterville sang a solo in a very pleasing manner. President Leecn presented his report for the year. He said that the work during the past year has been very satisfactory. A large number of young people have made a profession of faith. There was great cause to take courage and go on rejoicing. The nominating committee reported as follows: For president, F. H. Leech of Oakland; for secretary-treasurer, Frederick A. Shepherd of Waterville. On motion, it was voted that Rev. A. D. Dodge cast the vote of the con ference for the list as presented, and they were declared elected as the offi cers for the ensuing year. The Young People’s conference gave way for a short time to allow the main conference to listen to the report of the committee on resolutions. A resolution opposing resubmission was introduced by Rev. A. L. Gerrish of Oakland. In speaking on the resolution, Air. Gerrish said that in his search for the father of resubmission he had not found him in the Methodist church or in the Odd Fellows. He believed that the rum ele ment was behind the movement. Rev. J. L. Smith also spoke in favor of the resolution “God will not resubmit his holy law; we ought not to resubmit our righteous laws,” said Air. Smith. He said that resubmission was giving a mad dog a chance to bite, just to see whether one would have hydrophobia or not. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote. The nominating committee then re ported and officers lor the ensuing year Were elected as follows: President—A. E. Purinton, Water ville. .Secretary-treasurer—Rev. A. D. Dodge, Waterville. Auditor—Uev. J. L. Smith, Clinton. Executive committee—For one year. F. I'. Landman, Pittsfield: for two years, Mrs. Ida Lyford, Oakland; for three years, Mrs. Frank Hesse, Clinton. The address of the evening, “Clinton and His Work in Africa.” was then de livered by Uev. Albert W. Jefferson of Portland. The speaker directed the attention of his hearers to that portion of Africa which is known as Liberia, not to the land, but to the man that comes out of that jungle. “Africa has sent out into the world the strong, rugged face of a Lewis Clinton to show that Africa could produce a man.” The speaker painted the savage life of Clinton, as lie was brought up by his grandmother amid the surroundings of a native vil lage. Mr. Jefferson related several legends of Clinton’s tribe. Mr. Clinton brought to us a strong body, lofty pur poses and a pure mind. I he speaker touched upon the history of Liberia, the negro republic, which was founded 100 years ago. “The char acter of tiie people,” said the speaker, “is such as to occupy our attention.” "Have they the capacity for civiliza tion?" asked the speaker. “Look at Mr. Clinton. Those of us who knew him best have the greatest confidence in his ability.” His mission is located at the crossing of the caravan routes, close to those he desires to reach, yet not be yond communication with civilization. Tiie speaker said that the man him self was the greatest consideration. It is his greatness of spirit that is worthy of our support. “I see him as he stands alone on the kingdom's farthest frontier, find there alone, all alone, he is standing as a soldier of the Cross. At that window tonight I see the great strong face of our old friend. You min ister not alone to him, but you minis ter to the divine as well.” Following tiie address money' was raised for Mr. Clinton's work in Africa. Today’s Meetings.

Xo" little excitement was astir in this city Wednesday morning when it was reported on the street that one of the train dispatchers in the Maine Central office in this city had become tlie first victim this year of the Mes salonskee stream. Railroad employes searched either banks of the stream between this city and Oakland in the forenoon, while in the afternoon nearly 100 employes of the railroad performed the same work. The matter was re- i ported to the police in the afternoon and City Marshal Farrington learned that several citizens had seen the miss ing man on Main street during Tues day afternoon, when he was supposed to have been fishing on the Messalon skee. The fact is Charles Woodward, train dispatcher, left his office Tuesday af ternoon for Oakland, going there by passenger train No. 20. It was his de clared intention to fish the Messalon skee to this city. Well, Charles did not show up Tuesday night or yester day morning, friends became cited, nervous and fidglty, resulting in the search as mentioned above. The men tal distress of the railroad employes naturally spread to Mrs. Woodward, who had not known whether her hus band intended returning home Tues day or Wednesday. Division Superintendent C. H. Priest while telephoning on a matter of busi ness to Island park at Lake Cobbos seeeontee, learned that Mr. Woodward was there at the hotel. Calling Mr. Woodward to the telephone, Mr. Priest told -him that he would go after him by automobile and last night at 9.30 accompanied by Dr. K. W. Boyer, in the latter's machine Mr. Priest went after Ills missing operator. Mr. Wood ward appeared to be in his usual health but a string of fish taken from the. lake was no larger than that which lie took from the Messalonskee stream. CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Hall Presiding. Watervllle, June 17. Xo. 14i>. Berlfawsky vs. Rosenthal. P. A. Smith, Esq., for plaintiff, Brown Brown for defendant. This case was'on trial ydsterd*y. The case went to the jury at 11 o’clock this forenoon. Verdict for the defendant, and dam ages awarded him in the sum of $60.00. The next case taken up was the cake of Bessie A. Healey vs. Dexter H. Spaulding. C. kV Johnson; B*q;, for the plaintiff, and H. D. Eaton and W. C. Philbrook for the defendant. This case is known as the "spit fence case.” It Was tried out before a jury a year ago, the defendant get ting a verdict, which was set aside on motion. Both parties live on Burleigh street in the City of Watervilie, and both built their houses close to the north line of their lots. In July, 1906, the defendant built a high board fence on the south line of hlis lat. It is still in the same place, is nearly 12 feet high, for nearly the whole length of the lot, and is within about 6 feet' of the house. There is a space next to the Streep of about 6 feet where the fence is only about 6 feet high. The plaintiff says this fence is a private nuisance, that it shuts oft her view to the north, and shuts out the uir and light. The plaintiff gave a history of her troubles with the defendant and his family, but claimed, in substance, that she was not at fault in the mat ter. She gave some instances where she had been sworn at, and also called vile names. The defendant denied calling the plaintiff vile names, on the street, as stated by her, but did acknowledge that he -swore at her upon occasion. He claimed that the first trouble arose in regard to the line between the lots. He built a fence to stop people run ning 'across the back of his lot, where he had A garden, but took that fence down on the request of Mr. Johnson, attorney for the plaintiff. He gave in stances of trouble over his dog, of fates made at the windows, noises that disturbed him and his wife in the night, the shaking of rugs on his wife’s washing as it hung on the clothes reel, and things said to his wife and little girl that he could not longer stand, and, on the advice of counsel he finally erected the fence in question. The plaintiff denied that she ever shook her rugs on the wet clothes of Mrs. Spaulding, the making of faces at the window by her daughters, and most of the things complained of by the defendant. The testimony was all In upon ad journment, and the ctpii, will probably go to the jury by tomorrow qoon. It is understood, tonight, that the other cases assigned for today have been disposed of. Court will probably finally adjourn Friday afternoon. SKOWHEGAN. >6 Taylor-Archer.
