WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular OorrespOndent.

"a ---- .fa tA !. '.a,
Mr.. BryaD's speech accept
ing the Democratic npmina-
ton for President, which will
be delivered this week at the
monsternotifir sneeting
to.he hello in Madison Square
Gardens. New York City, is
just at present the most dis
cnss4d political topic. That
speech will hp the Foundation
stone for the entire democrat
r. campaign, l'esides being an
important factor in infupnc-
ing the minds Of many dem
ocrats who, have not fully
decidel whptherthev will sup
port the ticket or bolt. Mr..
Bryan's reputation as an or
ntor ia already made, but
the way in which he inter-
rrits the Chicago platform in
his speech Of acceptance will
fix in the minds of thousands
opponents as wei IA snppor-
tnrs. the round oi the ladder
Of craftsmanship upon which
he is entitled 10 stand. No
fears are entertained by those
democrats who know Mr..
Bryan about that speech.
They are confident that h.
will make no mistake.
: The silver democrats are in
some inst anceS not claiming
as much rs some of their op-
pOnents arp willing to con-
cp le them. A prominent dem

A snapshot of the spectators at
yesterdays Houston.San Antonio
game would be a picture over
which a San Antonio rooter could
weep tears of joy. just imagine
the Buffalo's crack twirler, Roach,
making wild throw, allowing
three frisky Bronchos to cross the
plate in the presence Of crowd of
enthusiastic Houston rooters. 1t
was in the eighth inning, with the
bases full and the score tied, that
Roach made this wonderful throw.
Roach is the most troublesome
pitcher for the Bronchos that
Houston has, and funny as it may
seem, San Antonio always wins
with him. 1t was brilliant game,
only two errors being made out Of
eighty-two chances. Only nine hits
were made off Parvin Umpire

ARRESTED IN BROOKLYN.
Bach Apprebended For an Alleged Murder
In Florida.


BROOKLYN, Jan. 2-Detectives OF the
Central Office arrested Max Bach, 20 years
old, who resides at i05 Hamburg avenue,
on a charge Of double murder. He is ac-
cused Of having shot and killed Gustavus
A. Grolshagan and his wife on June q,
1894, at Lawtey, Bradford county, Fla.
Since that time, the police say Bach
has boen a fugitive from justice. lmme-
diately after the murder he went to live
in Jacksonville short distance away
and then drifted TO Brooklyn. Not very
long ago he married a pretty girl in this
city and laid claim to property valued at
$40, 600 located I'm Florida. 1t was this
claim that led to his arrest.
Sheriff E e. Johns and State Attorney
A. c. Hartridge came through from Brad
ford county with the warrant.
OF the alleged crime they say that at
first Bach was not suspected, but later do
velopments showed strong motive for
the murder. Bach was a 4ephew Of the
couple, who were possessed of considera-
BILE property and who some time before
their death disinherited the young man.
Bach Is said TO have learned of this, and
after securing tho will and destroying ii
to have committed the crime. He Is hold
to await requisition papers and stated at
police headquarters that he had expected
his arrest all along.

THE TRANsvAAL TROUBLE.
Action of DIR. Jameson Regarded as Fla
grant Example of British Arrogance.

Action of DIR. Jameson Regarded ne n Fla
grant Example of British Arrogance.
LoND0N, Jan. "A. dispatch from The
Hague to The Times says that the BOtter-
damscho Courant regards DIR. Jameson =
action in the Transvaal as a most fragrant
example OF British arrogance. 1t admits
that Holland can do nothing for the Beers
and fears that England will seize the op-
portunity to wipe out the stain Of the
Mujubahill incident 1t also expresses the
hope that Germany will come to the res
cue.
The Berlin correspondent OF The Times
says: 1.-THE crisis is clearly endangering
the Anglo German relations. Public opin-
ion is excited and angry, and without
doubt the government will interfere be-
cause relations have gradually arisen be-
tween the Transvaal and Germany which
have assumed, in the public mind, almost
the shape of a moral protectorate by Ger
many over the Transyaal.
The Times, in an editorial, thinks that
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's oensure
of DIR. Jameson for the invasion OF the
Transyaal in the absence OF the man who
has undeniably rendered great and dis
tinguished services to his country is some
what precipitate.
The Belfast Evening Telegraph pub
fishes private letter from Buluwayo
South Africa, dated Nov. /, stating that
there was talk there even at that time Of
the English selling the Transvaal, and
that the Chartered South Africa compa-
ny's troops had gone south for that pur-
pose under secret orders with ten guns
and many wagons.
