legged, declared that Il" rEryan) was in
the cmpi)y Of m.Ec owners, made al
official denial coupled with a challenge
to the nationa- h>lUbliCan committee
to cOmc out in the open and accuse him
or forever be silent.
Mr.. Bryan's attention had been
called to the CONTROVERSY between Sen.
ators Thurston and Stewart and he
determined to settle the matter if pos
sible. He, therefore, demands an open
charge which he says he will refute
with details of his private life and his
financial affairs, or silence. He said
l have already denied this charge on sew
eral occasions. but the rel Grafton of il by
Senator Thurston, a distinguished resi-
dent Of my own state, j~ustifies me in an
swering it again. l have never, at any
time or under any circumstances, been in
the employ Of any mine owners individu-
ally or collectively, directly or Indirectly,
nor have l ever been in the employ of, or
paid by any Bimctallic League a~Ss0cia-
ton.
Where Ills Income Comes From.
Aside from my editorial salary of about
$50 per month, paid by the Omaha
World Herald, and a small amount de-
rived from the legal profession, my in
comeS since my retirement from congress
has been derived entirely from lectures
before Chautauqua Lyceum and lecture
bureaus, which nave usually paid me a.
fixed sum-, and from contributions made
by the people of the localities where l
have spoken. In some instances l nave
received nothing at all. In most cases |
have received more than enough to pay
travelling expenses. In only two in
stances, l think, has my compensation
exceeded 800, and in these instances it
was about 800 at one place and about $500
at the other. Having made this answer
to Mr.. ThurstOn's letter, l shall hereafter
take no notice of individual or newspaper
comment on the subject. If the Repub-
lican national committee will say Off
cially that l have ever been employed to
deliver speeches by any mine owner, a
group of mine owners, or by any associa-
ton supported by mine owners, l am
ready to make a statement showing in de-
tail all the money received by me for
speechmaking.

CLAIMS OF LEADERS.
Figures Given Out by Reed and Mckinley
Campaign Managers.

Representative Aldrich. of Illinois, lien
tenant of Speaker Reed, has given out the
following statement, showing the result OF
the election OF delegates TO st. Louis to April
20;
'The developments Of the past week In the
Republican presidential contest have resulted
In no material change In the relative standing
Of the leading candidates. Notwithstanding
the prediction made by Gen. Grosyenor some
days ago that during the coming week Nc
Kinley's strength will grow rapidly by the
conventions in Kentucky, Nebraska and New
Jersey. of the 20 votes confidently counted
upon by him In Kentucky, Governor Bradley
has captured 10, and the failure to instruct
for Mckinley the II delegates elected from
New Jersey was significant disappointment
My last statement gave to Mr.. Reed Ill dele
gates. TO Mr. Mckinley 100, to all other cnndi-
dates 1865, and 4s doubtful. In that table
credited Mr.. Reed with two uninstructed
which, upon later Information, l deem II fair
to place In the doubtful column. With this
single exception my figures % last week can
not be seriously doubted.
The figures have been carefully compiled
from reports received from day TO day and
verified by replies received from teegrams
sent to various states. l have placed 10 adj
ditional delegates in the doubtful column, II
of which are from New Jersey. A little cal
culntion will disclose that Of the G0i dele

about 35l6 per cent. II he continues at this
rate TO the end he will have 325 votes out OF
total of 9lS wnen the convention assemblies
or Just about the number that the friends oi
Mr.. Reed and the other candidates have con.
ceded to him from the active commencement
of the campaign.
summary Of the situation at this time
shows as follows; Reed, 1913; Mckinley, 214

DEPEw's PROJECT.
He Will Send Message Around the World
by an Electric Current.

Chaunccy NJ. Depew expects to perform on
May the greatest triumph Of modern cleo
trical science. He expects to rival the fam
Gus first telegraph message. "What hath God
wrought" with an epigrammatic sentence
that 1t is TO be sent around the world by a
current OF electricity generated by the power
OF Niagara Falls.
The object OF sending this message is to de-
monstrate the triumph Of electricity over
distance. With the power OF Niagara Falls
the greatest electric power in the world is
generated for the purpose OF distributing 1t
to many points. Electricians have said that
long g-distance transmission Of electricity Is
impossible. Nicola Tesla said he would
prove that II was possible and the Niagara
Power Company backed him with millions OF
dollars.
The wonderful exhibition OF all the newest
things in electricity opens in Madison Square
Garden May 4, and the electric power gener-
ated at Niagara Falls will be transmitted to
New York on ordinary telegraph wires.
Then DR.. Depew will make the great trial
OF sending one continuous current around
the world, or as nearly around the world as
the cable lines will permit, say about $4,000
miles. The electric tour will be over IN q
very few minutes, but Just how lopa 1t 10 i'm
possible 70 say.

THE VENEZUELA COMMISSION.
Negotiations Of Arbitration Proceeding
Very satisfaotorily.

The Venezuelan Boundary Commission
finally decided to send one or more repre-
sentatives to The Hague to examine the
original Dutch manuscripts In the royal
archieves bearing upon the Venezuelan
boundary question, but the persons have not
yet been designated.
Similar action was not taken in the case OF
Spanish archives, for the reason that the
Venezuelan Government has supplied num-
Der of certified copies of the Spanish records,
and until these have been examined by the
commission, it cannot be known Just what
additional copies from Madrid are required.
The report that the Venezuelan question
had again reached n critical stage owing to
inaction amounting to termination of nego-
tiations, has developed two facts which are
stated positively Namely, that the United
States Government has not offered or sug-
gested a withdrawal Of the present Nenezu-
elan Commission, and that negotiations
toward general arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily, although there has
been little progress as yet toward having the
Venezuelan dispute included In the general
scope of the arbitration.
Aside from these two material points, the
general status of the subject, it is stated, has
not changed of late, and there is no appre-
hension or uneasiness lest the negotiations
lapse or fail. II is the general understand
ing that the NeneZulan Commission will not
report until December.

JACKSON'S TRIAL BEGINS.
Not a Nativs Kentuckian on the Jury--Ao-
cused Takes Notes

The trial Of Scott Jackson for the murder
of Pearl Bryan began at Newport KY, Tues
day and made speed In securing jury that
astonished the court and the counsel on both
sides. Judge Helm presided. Counsel for
the prosecution are Commonwealth Attorney
VI. II. Lockhart, County Attorney Ramsey
Washington. Col. H. w. Nelson OF Newport
and Attorney Hayes of Greencastle, Ind, the

OF Newport and w. q. sheppard of Hamil-
ton, who will appear for Walling when his
trial comes up. George Washington and
Ramsey Washington, father and son, are on
opposite sides of the case.
| After the jury was sworn the court order
ed the prosecution and defense to read list
| of their witnesses. Col Crawford, for the
defense, gave notice OF exceptions TO this
order. Commonwealth Attorney Lockhaft
read the Indictment and stated what the line
| of the prosecution would be. In this he an
nounced the purpose to attack Jackson's
character, showing he lived double life.
The first witness was John Huling, the boy
that found the dead body of Pearl Bryan on
! February I. The second witness was Dr. w.
$. Tingley, who saw the body two hours
after its discovery, and who attended both
post mortems, gave important testimony. He
said the girl must have been killed where
the body was found and not earlier than the
midnight before her body was found; the
knife that cut her head oil was sharp in
strument and the hand that welded II q
skilled hand. Judge Helm aided in cross
examining the witness. The defense object
ed and was overruled and took exceptions.
| Jackson was calm all day and took notes
of the proceedings. Especially of the testi-
mony. He was taken back TO jail without
being handcufIed
Six witnesses were examined In the fore
noon Wednesday and four In the afternoon.
| The purpose of the examinations in the fore
noon was TO establish the indentity Of the
headless body found near IT. Thomas rs that
of Pearl Bryan's and to prove that she was
murdered at the very spot where she was
found; The identity OF the body was strik-
ingly proven by the abundant evidence that
the bloody check dress was Pearl Bryan's
also the shoes, the stockings, the hat and the
blood-stained underwear. Expert testimony
OF Coroner Tingley, Surgeons Carothers and
! J. o. jenkins was Introduced to prove by the
condition of the body as they found IL at the
scene Of the murder and at the post mortem
that the killing was done just where the
body vas found and that the health of the
| victim was perfect.

BUSINESS IS IMPROVING.
Distribution of Products Has Made Fair
Progress


r. G. Dun Il Co.'S review of Trade says
Business has been favored by seasonabe
weather, and the distribution of products has
made fair progress, not yet reducing retail
or Wholesale stocks far enough, however, to
materially improve the position OF industries.
Strikes of some Importance are threatened In
the building ana window glass trades and
the working force Is lessened by stoppage Of
some factories because orders are light.
Again prices of commodities are ON the whole
lower than ever before.
Neither pig iron nor manufactured pro-
duets have improved In demand as YET, though
further combinations have raised the prices
of bar iron to S1.20, while steels bars sell ut
Sl.15 and nails are to be 15c higher after
May /. Brokers at Pittsburg are still selling
steel billets 60c below the pool price, though
1t was formed more than three weeks ago,
and Bessemer pig has declined there to S13
with grey forge stronger. Structural angles
are shade lower, though some good con-
tracts are expected and there have been
sales of IL, 900 tons steel rails and 1000 tons
Of cast pipe for Newark.
Failures for the week have been 239 In the
United States. against $50 last year, and "A In
Canada, against 81 last year.
Bradstreet's financial review says. Bullish
sentiments continue to animate current spec
ulation, the present week, having witnessed
increased activity and broader conditions as
well as urtherimproyement In price. The
movement seems to be based upon desire to
discount the anticipated revival OF trade, but
its character Is also due in large degree to
the example afforded by the recent specula-
tive revival in London and the better stand
ing which American securities are gaining
there.
