NOT BOOMING Mr.. BYNUM
ALBERT LIEBER SAYS THERE Is NO
TRUTH II THIS REPORT.
Friend OF Mr.. Fairbanks Gives a
Correct Account Of That In
cident at Canton.

The report became current yesterday that
a weli-developed plan was on foot to over
throw the work of the silver Democrats Of
Indiana at the Chicago convention. The
plan had for it's purpose the defeat Of
Governor Matthews for the presidential
nomination and was 10 be carried out by
the sound money Democrats. The latter
realizing their weakness In point Of num-
bers in the indiana delegation. and feeling
that whatever they should accomplish
must be done by strategy rather than by
strength. evolved the scheme TO make IL
appear that there is a split in the Indiana
delegation, or rather 10 emphasize the fact
that there is a split, by springing the name
of ex-Congressman W ID. Bynum for the
vice presidential nomination. 1T was be-
lieved If il should become known that In
diana had two candidates the first place
would be given 10 another State.
Mr.. Bynum is now in Chicago. Albert
Lieber was asked If there was any truth
In the report. He said there certainly was
none. He thought he would know it If
there was any such intention on the part
OF the sound-money men. He said the
soUnd-money men had no intention of an
tagCnizing the majority of the delegation
in the choice OF Matthews. They were for
sound money and would talk and advocate
il from first TO last bat in a dignihed and
parliamentary manner. Mr.. Lieber further
stated that IL there was such a plan on
feet. Mr.. Bynum knew nothing of it and
would not be party TO IL.

1t is stated that an operate star of
some note connected with one of the
principal Moscow theaters, wishing to
make a short excursion into the country,
went to get her passport countersigned
by the local authorities. The presiding
official received her politely, and, hav-

Nothing easier. Be good enough to

The applicant obeyed, and transcribed
word for word formal petition request
ing leave Of absence from the city for Il
stated time, which was then duly signed,
folded and sealed.
"And now," quoth the man in Office.
"you have only to deliver it. -
"To whom, pray?"
''To whom?" echoed the official, with
a slight smile at the absurdity of the
question. ''ro me, of course +"
The document was accordingly handed
across the table, The great man adjust
ed his spectacles, broke the seal, gravely
read over his own composition from be-
ginning to end, folded it and docketed
it with methodical slowness and then,
turning to the impatient artist, said,
with an air of official solelnnity:

The Dutch In Japan, 164O.

The Dutchmen were confined within
the narrow bounds of their island prison
which, as Kaempfer tells us, was by
his own measuring 236 PAGES long by So
PAGES broad-and shut i'll by high pal
isading topped with spikes. A more
monotonous existence could scarcely be
conceived. In the earlier days some half
dozen ships would arrive during the
year, but from the beginning of the
eighteenth century not more than one
or two annually-generally about Sep
tember. They had scarcely anchored
when the resident, with his retinue, had
to set out on his long and costly journey
to Tokyo to deliver the customary pres
ents to the shotgun. The humilations
these poor Dutchmen were compelled to
undergo are we'll described by kaempfer
in his immortal history:
LAS soon as he (the Resident Van
Brutenheim in 169D came into the en-
peror's presence the commissioners cried
out, 'Oranda Kapitain. #** Accord
ingly, he crawled ON his hands and
knees to place between the presents
and the emperor. 80 y Then, kneeling,
u0 DOWSu Ills lOI6HSdNl Qulto uOWu W ullc
ground, and so crawled backward like
crab, without uttering one single
word. So mean and short thing is the
audience we have of this mighty mon,
arch. ="
In the following year, 1902, the new
resident, Van Outhoorn, was subjected
to even greater indignity. "We were
commanded, writes Kaempfer, "to sit
upright, take off our cloaks, stand up,
walk, turn about, sing songs, compli-
ment one another, be angry, etc., to
jump, dance, play gambols ETC., and
even "to kiss one another like man and
wife, which the ladies of the court
showed particularly by their laughter
they were we'll pleased with. "-Athe-
