Nicholas Deboy, and took place Wilmington street just back of the market, at about seven o'clock yesterday evening. Both men live in the third ward, and they were discussing the aldermanic situation in that part of the city when the lie was passed by Mr. Deboy and the policeman struck him with his night stick, knocking him down. Officer Leeson reported the matter to Chief of Police at once, as did Mr. Deboy also.

When they met In the mayor's office it looked for a minute as if the quarrel would be renewed right there, but Chief Mullins calmed them down, and told them to come before the mayor at ten o'clock this morning for trial. The chief relieved Officer Leeson from duty for the night. Here is the story" of the affair as told to The Morning Post reporter by the participants: Mr. Deboy said: "I met Policeman Leeson' on Wilmington street and said: 'Good He spoke to me In return while we were talking something came up about the candidates for aldermen. He made the remark that a candidate in our ward was running just for the purpose of getting him off the police force and getting someone else on instead.

"I denied the charge, as I knew this candidate to be a gentleman. I said he was running in the interest of the people regardless of everything else, that he was not looking for any Job for himself or anyone else, but just running because the people wanted him to run. "Policeman Leeson said that wasn't so, that he had heard differently. "I asked him who had said so, and he said he just heard it. "Then I said that whoever-said so told a lie.

'He asked me if I called him a liar. I said: I call you a liar if you say that's "Then he hit me with his billy on the side of the face and on the arm two or three licks. "I had nothing to protect myself with, but I saw a negro on the opposite corner with a stick and I ran over to get the stick, Leeson following me. The negro wouldn't let me have the stick, and while I was trying to get it away from him Leeson said: 'Don't you take that stick to me. I've got a pistol and he put his hand to his hip pocket.

Just then Mr. Hinnant came up and separated us. "Then Leeson went on to the guard house and I follewed him there." Officer Leeson said: "I had been sick several days and had just gone back on duty and was starting out for the night. On Wilmington street Mr. Deboy called me.

I had always regarded him as one of my best friends and had nothing but the kindest feelings toward him. He came out into the middle of the street and said: I understand you've gone back on "I said: 'Certainly hot; I am a Stronach man from the ground "He said: 'You've gone back on me In regard to George Harden. I told him I reserved the right to vote for whom I thought right. "He said I had made false charges against some of the people in town, that they were trying to get candidates to come out for aldermen just to pusn through certain measures they wantsd. "I told him I did not think that kind of thing was proper, and thought I had a right to make my own choice and not let people say who I should vote for.

LQUISBURG COLLEGE Washington, March 23. President Roosevelt is concerned over what he regards as the inability of this government to take, steps to relieve the embarrassing situation presented by the attitude of Venezuela.

This condition of affairs is attributed by-the adminis-tration to the position assumed by the Senate with reference to the Santo Domingo treaty-and the postponement of action upon the agreement. While it Is declared that the situation is not strained and the developments are not such as to cause alarm, the admission is frantically' made b' -the president that he is at a loss to know what can be done by the United -Stages if occasion should call for action on 'its part. In a conversation: today with- Repre sentatlve 'Babcock of Wisconsin, the president discussed In some "details his sentiment on the Venezuelan situation, and he plainly declared his opinion that the attitude of Venezuela at this time was no doubt inspired to a great extent by the failure of the United States Senate to stand by the administration in the Santo Domingo matter. The president showed that 'he felt that President Castro-manifested a disposition to take advantage of this result in-the United States and accepted it as evidence of; impotence in the Roosevelt administration to meet involving the Monroe Doctrine and the interests of the United States to the southward. ThisA manifestation wa exhibited in the apparent disposition of President Castro to, take steps toward making arrangements for the settlement of European claims, notably those of Germany and Great Britain to the exclusion of American creditors.

Lord Avebury, president of the council of foreign bondholders, having requested the United States to withhold its payments to Panama until the latter' share of the Colombian debt could be arranged, Secretary of State Hay replied February 10 that hts government was unable to comply with the request because the council, not beihg citizens of the United States, could not claim the latter's asmstance in collecting bonds against foreign governments. Lord Avebury, March 10, wrote Mr. Hay expressing much regret at the decision and appealing to the affirmation in President Roosevelt's message that It was incompatible with International equity for the United States to disallow other powers to compel satisfaction of the claims of creditors while the United States itself refused to be so.

Lord Avebury cited President Roosvlt' action in the Santo Domingo matter, and said the council had deduced from this that he would assist the holders of Colombian bonds, whose claims were at least as good as those of the Santo Domingo bondholders, and who, the council thought, had a claim for especial consideration in view of the; prejudice they had suffered in consequence of the secession of from Colombia. After thanking Mr. Hay for his courteous replies to his communications, Lord Avebury concluded: "We venture again to trespass on your kindness, asking you to inform us whether the United States government would intervene in the direction of securing the recognition and payment by Panama of an equitable share of the Colombian debt if a request to that effect were submitted to your excellency by the governments iLtT BriUan wnose Si! ale chiefly interested in Colombian bonds." 1 lo his request for an investigation.
