He and Senator Jones and Governor Stone
 to Enjoy an Outing.
 Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 15.--Senator tional committee, was here to-day and left tonight for St. Louis, where he will be joined by William J. Bryan and Governor Stone of Missouri on duck hunting trip to the St. Francis river When asked if he had been quoted cor rectly in saying that one powerful cause which contributed to the defeat of Bryan was the placing of orders at factories to be filled in the event of McKinley's election, he said:
 Yes, such orders cut a large figure Millions of dollars worth of these or ders were placed and the manufactur- CTS made it a point to call their em- ployes in and exhibit the contingent orders. They impressed upon the wage -earners that McKinley's election would result in giving them work enough. It was the beginning of the winter when the people had nothing and had to do something to insure them the necessaries for the cold weather" '" Of the attitude of the business men, Senator Jones said:
 Business men as a rule are timid An impression was made by the pre- dictions of hard times in case of Bry- ans election. A few days before cleo tion interest went up and the business men argued if the mere apprehension of Bryan's election had that effect the re- suit of his election sure enough would be much worse. Thousands and thou sands in the west voted for Mckinley in the belief that he is a bimetallist and will adhere to the record he made in congress. On the other hand, the east erners voted for him, believing that he is a monometallist When Mckinley comes out on one side or the other he will be in the attitude In which Cleve- land placed himself when he alienated the great bulk of his party
 Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 15.-William J. Bryan left tonight for Kansas City, where he expects to be joined by Gov ernor Stone of Missiuri. MT.

Mrs. Monroe,s Doctrine.

Mrs. Monroc's doctrine remains un-
challenged by the powers. Until the adj
ministration of President Monroe tho lady
of the White House was n person Of SUI
perior position, but not above the ordinary
considerations of etiquette. The receiving
and paying of calls, 1t Is we'll known, Is u
social equation that may be expressed in
the terms "a equals 3D." Mrs. Monroe's
doctrine set forth that when "a" Is the
presidents wife, "a does not equal OBJ"
This was at first considered a direct blow
at democracy and tho underlying princi.
Piles OF the government. But Mrs. Mon.
roe carried the day, and since her time the
wife of the president receives but does
not return calls.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Jan. 3i.-At high tide
this morning, another attompt was made to
pull the st. Paul aground on the sandy bar
at this place into deep water. This time the

rift of tho Merritt Breckins Company, who il
in charge of the work OF trying to float the
vessel, and the oflc MS of the company, arc
praying for a storm from the east. This.
they say. would move the vessel. and would
do much moro toward getting her from the

II is probable that the 81. Paul will remain
on the bar for a week or more yet, unless the
