President Sends Letter to Repre
sentatives ot Colombia and
Venezuela.
A DIPLOMATIC WARNING
It Is Stated That the United States
Would Deplore n Breach of the
Amicable Relations Between the
American Republics Venezuela
Acknowledges the Note States
That She Has Not Declared War
on Colombia.
n EicImIy Wire from Tho Aoclled Pre-a.
Washington, Sept. 3. It Is asserted
that on August 14. during Secretary
Hay's recent visit to Washington, n
telegtaphle message was sent to the
ministers at Caracas and llogata title-ting
them to inform the foreign
feerelarles of Venezuela and Colombia
cf the distress with which the president
had heard of the likelihood of a dis
turbance of the relations between those
two icpubllcs. Adverting to the possi
bility of the Inlluence of the United
States being exerted tn compose the
pending questions, the ministers weie
directed to say that while the relations
of thh government with both nations
are equally Intimate and friendly and
every opportunity Is taken to show the
good will we bear them, an olTcr of
the president's kfndly ofllee to arrange
any differences which may exist be
tween Colombia and Venezuela would
be ineffective without the acquiescence
ot loth.
Nevertheless. Inspired by the senti
ments which are common to all the gov-
cipments of the American republics,
the I'nited States would sincerely de
plore a hi each of tho amicable relations
that at this time happily exist between
the sister nations of the western world
and would especially regret any action
by e'ther of them which might menace
the s.eciii'1'y of transit across the Isth
mus of the neutrality of Its territoiy
in v'ew of existing tieuty engagements!
with Colombia.
Jlie text of Mr. Hay's telegram has
not been made public. It Is understood
that an acknowledgment of Its receipt
has been made by the Venezuelan gov
ernment, but Its purport has not been
made known, although It is said to be
fiiem'ly in tone and while charging In
vasion by Colombian forces on tho
Venezuelan border and referring to
the temporary suspension of diplomatic
intercourse which has occurred, the
wry appears to be open for explana
tions. Venezuela has not declared war
against Colombia No acknowledgment
has la en received from Bogota, but
lllls Is supposed to be due to the ie
ported delays in telegraphic cominunl
iatioi' between Cogotu nnd the coast
stations,

ism of the men before him In the hour
of the nation's peril, nt times, how
ever, falling Into reminiscences of his
own brief, but eventful, experience In
wnr. He was frequently interrupted by
vociferous applauso.

the Minneapolis Commercial club, Col
onel Uoosevelt arrived nt the club
rooms shortly before 2 o'clock, and was
tnttoduced to the gentlemen of the club
by Thomas H. Shevlin, whose guest he
has been during' his stay heie.
Soon after 2 o'clock the doom were
thrown open, nnd until nearly & o'clock
a continuous stream of friends of the
club members and admirers of the vice
president riled through the club rooms.
The vice-president left for Chicago
over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.

The water was smooth, but even

SECOND DAY OF
THE CELEBRATION
A Mammoth Parade of Mine Work
ers Among Yesterday's Feat
ures of the Jubilee.
FIRST MINE TABLET UNVEILED
Interesting Exercises on the Site of the First
Anthracite Coal Mine in America Speech
es by Mayor Kilpatrick, Reese Hughes,
Charles Law, President Nichols and
44 Mother Jones" President Mitchell's
Open-Air Speech at the Afternoon Meeting
Interrupted by Rain Thousands Take
Part in the Exercises and Witness the
Features of Amusement.
B
IOOKIt even than that of Mon
day s the crowd thronging
Carbondale yesterday, when La
bor held sway In the scinl-ecn-
tennlal celebration.
All the Industries and most of the
stores were closed and their thousands
of employes turned out en masse to
participate In the Jubilation. The
mines In Carbondalo and from Forest
City to Archibald were idle for the third
''ay tn succ-winr. ; p.d Mie miners in
consequence were rife for a march.
It was In fact a miners' celebration
for they composed three of the four
divisions of the parade; It was their
leaders who were the distinguished
guests, and nearly all he events of tho
day had a mine flavor.
Quite appropriately 1 might be called
"Mitchell Day." The president of the
I'nited Mine Workers was far and
auay the feature of this day. He was
the chief guest of honor, the principal
speaker at the labor mftss meeting,
the honoree of the evening reception,
nnd everybody wore a Mitchell badge.
The day was made unusually lively
hy the large number of musical organ
izations the parallels brought with
them. They remained, for the most
part, until after the day's progrnmme
of events was over with, and were far
from stingy with their melody. The
arrival of the van guard of visiting
firemen who are to participate In to
day's celebration, ndded not a little
to the liveliness.
The weather was of the same delight
ful character as that of yesterday ex
cept in spots, and one of these was a
very aggravating spot. Just as Pres
ident Mitchell was warming up to the
principal address of the meeting, the
rain commenced to fall heavily.
Tho crowd seemed bent on weather
ing the storm but President .Mitchell
abruptly terminated his speech, with
regrets that the meeting was Inter
rupted. It also ruined heavily during
the early morning hours, but the dny
.ent In with bright skies nnd balmy
air and continued thus until the Inop
portune afternoon shower. This latter
lastetl half an hour and was succeeded
by quite as propitious weather as had
preceded it.
President Mitchell's Reception.
The first event of the dny was the
reception of President Mitchell nnd
the other labor lenders who came up
from Sorantnn on tho S:30 I). ,i if,
train. A delegation of the Central
Labor union escorted them from the
station to the Harrison house nnd
introduced to them the hundreds who
were assembled to give them greet
ings. The remainder of the morning was
given over to the labor parade. There
were nearly twenty thousand In line,
including many of tho most celebrated
of the miners' leaders.
At 1:30 o'clock occurred the unveil
ing of the tablet marking the site of
the first underground anthracite mine
In America. Addresses were made by
Mayor Kllpatrlck, lleeso Hughes,
whose father worked In the mine!
President Xlchnlls, of District No. 1.
of the I'nited Mine Workers; "Moth
er" Jones, of the American Federa
tion of Labor, and Charles Law, son
of Archibald Law, the man who op
ened the mine.
On Sandy's Held at 3 o'clock was be
gun the mass meeting, so unfortunate
ly terminated by the rain. A large
crowd listened to addresses by Presi
dent Walsh, of the Central Labor
union; Mayor Kllpntrlck. Kdward Mc
Kay. Adam Ityseavlge, T. D. Nlcholls
nnd President Mitchell of the Tnlled
Mine Workers.
A fantastic parade filled In the Inter
hours of the afternoon and In the eve
ning occurred a reception to President
Mliehell. at the Harrison house, a
build inneert, at city hall, reception
to visiting llreinen at the local engine
hnilM's and a inngnlllcent display of
liriwni'l" on Sandy's Held.
Today will bo given over exclusively
to the tlreliien. Triers will be athletic
contests In the morning, a parade f
the llreinen at 1 p. in.; hose races nnd
exhibition and competitive drills at 3
p. m." hand concert at S p. m.. exhibi
tions by the local companies at S.SO p.
m.. and a firemen's ball at ft p. m.
This will bring the celebration to n
close. It can be safely left tn the
firemen to do the closing with a bang.
Fantastic Parade.
The flr,t fizzle of the celebration was
the fantastic parade which took place
nt 4 o'clock In the afternoon. It was
less than a good-sized block In length
and contained few If any features wor
thy of r r-titin.
Two bands and about a hundred
youngsters dressed In old-fashioned
suits of as many varieties as there)
were wearers, composed the column.
A "Kazoo" band was one of the re
deeming fcatuies.
LABOR PARADE.
An Event of Very Respectable Dl
mensions Seventeen Hundred
Men in Line.
While the turnout wa.i not as large
as counted upon, the labor parade vas
1111 event of very respectable dimen
sions. There weie about 1700 men In
line, not Including those In carriage
and the members of the numerous
musical organizations heading the
various societies, and the showing
they made was quite In keeping with
the general tenor of the celebration.
If the procession lucked something
of Its expected excellence In the mat
ter of quantity, it made up for what
ever deficiency there was In the nunv
her of prominent labor leaders whu
participated.
The central figure was, of course,
President John Mitchell, of the I'nited
Minn Workers. He came 011 from the
west especially to spend Labor Day
with the men of the upper anthracite
region who so steadfastly followed his
had In the great strike of last fall,
nnd who thereby added not a llttlo
to his renown.
With him were Kdward W. McKay, a
member of the executive board of the
I'nited Mine Workers, ".Mother" Mary
Jones, the intrepid organizer of tho
American Federation of Iibor, who Is
happiest working mining the miners,
President T. J. Nlcholls, of District
No. 1; Henry J. Collins, a member of
the national executive board of the
I'nited Mine Workers, and many other
local celebrities among the miners.
President Mitchell, accompanied by
his private secretary, Mlfs Morris, and
a number of the I'nited Mine Work
ers' olllelals, came up from Hcrnnton
at S.30 (i. 111. They were met at the
station by 11 committee from the Cen
tral Labor union, headed by President
J. It. Walsh, Secretary Cieorge Spall.
Assistant Secretary James Llewellyn
and Nicholas Hoffman. President Mit

with a trap, drawn by two white.
horses and benutlftllly decorated with
cut Mowers. The can luges for the)
other guests weie gaily bedecked with
Hags.
Headed by the Patriotic Order Sons
of America band, the committee es
