OF the contest between the Midland Ter

prosecuting work on their line, but none

TnE teachings Of William Jennings Bryan are very odious Co Charles Broadway Rouss, who has just pre- sented to the University Of Virginia handsome building, superbly equip ped for scientific research. The building was dedicated last weu.a, a,-but Mir. Rouss was not present because ae the same time MT. Bryan was to address the literary society on Thomas Jefferson. In declining the invitation to be present MT. Rouss wrote:
 While it would give me great pleasure to enter into the enjoyment of the proceeding, would not be able to listen with any satisfaction to an address delivered by Mir, Bryan upon Thomas Jefferson. He and his CO., conspirators succeeded at Chicago in stealing the time-honored Democratic party organization, and now they want to steal it's founder. No, he and his c0nglomerate political fusion will not be permitted by my presence and silence acquicscencc, humble citizen though | be. to become the champion of Thomas Jefferson. Let us at least prevent this monstrous usurpatlon and robbery. Thomas Jefferson is about all that true and loyal Demo- crats have left of the great party. Let us at least hold on to him until we can right ourselves. To permit a heterogeneous combination of anar- chists and party wreckers to use Thomas Jefferson as a shield for their disloyalty to the public veal would be unpatriotic and criminal in the high est degree

EASILY EXPLAINED.

There seems to have been an euidem- lc of cratic legislatures last winter. Arlzonans are kicking at their legisla- turo for passing law whereby few scores of murderers have escaped the penalty of their crimes. Colorado's legislature, by a bungling oversight, repealed the law providing for national holidays. and through the incompotency of Kansas legislators, a law was repealed which deprives a district of that state from holding any term of court until remedial legisla- tion is passed. Journal Miner.
 When 1t is considered how nomina- tions for the legislature are conferred it is sn easy matter to account for the worthlessness and cussedness of the average legislature. Honest and com potent men won't bother with the office, and nomination and election frequently goes to incompetents or knaves. In selecting legislators the American people are about like the Spanish are said to be in altering bull calves. When they come to worth less little rupt who presents an un- exterior, they say: Let him go, we'll make a bull of him"

Formerly the only power in many states which could grant divorces was the legislature, and it is very likely that Delaware maintains that system. Anyone from Wiscon- sin, not yet fifty years Of age, can recollect when the legislature of that state granted divorces.

JOUR LOCAL SONS OF MARS
ANNUAL INSPECTION AND MUSTER
 BY BRIG. GEN. FROST.

All the Companies in Full Dress Uniform
 Made Splendid Appearance and En-
 Enthusiastically Applauded by Large
 Crowd at the Armory-The Case of Capt.
 Smith of the Blues-Other Notes.
 The annual inspection and muster of all the city organizations belonging to the state National Guard, at the arrn- ory last evening, marked the opening of the drill season. From this time on the companies will meet for weekly drill in the armory on the evening as- signed to them.
 The inspection last evening was by Brigadier General Frost and his staff. Colonel Burpee and his staff were also present Officers and men were in full dress uniforms and made very fine appearance. The galleries of the arm ory were well filled with visitors, many ladies being among the number. The companies of the Second regiment, Sep- arate company, Machine Gun platoon and band were inspected first by Brig adler General Frost and his corps. Ar ter the inspection of each company the roll was called.
 The first division of naval battalion was inspected by Quartermaster Gen eral Beach and Commander Buckland. Lieutenant Gondreaux commanded the Blues. Captain Smith, who had been relieved, was present, but in citizens clothes. It is not probable that he will be permanently deprived of the com mand of the company.
 A conference was held with Colonel Burpee last evening, the result of which was not learned The principal cause of Captain Smiths trouble is said to be the failure. to return some of the com- pany property at the annual inspection of the same last week. Property in the possession of some of the members of the company was not returned in time, and according to law the commanding officer of the company is held responsi- ble for the same. It is said that some of the missing property has been re- turned by the delinquent members of the company, and it is understood that Captain Smith will be credited with the same, if he makes statement as to the manner of it's detention. Captain Smith is very popular officer.
 The Grays elected two new members last evening-A. F. Barnes and A. A. Allen.

A CRIPPLED CRAFT ADRIFT
WHAT HAS BEEN THE FATE OF THE
 SCHOONER FORTUNA?

In Collision With the Schooner Edward
 Briery-vessels Swept Apart by Heavy
 Seas-Fortuna's Yawl Crushed and Her
 Alizzenmast Wont by the Board-Crip-
 pied Craft May be Adrlft in the Sound.
 Vineyard Haven, Mass, Nov 3.-If the Boston bound schooner Fortuna survived the collision which took place early this morning with the schooner Edward D. Briery, the three men of her crew of eight who were not taken off by the latter schooned are probably. alive and drifting about the ocean south of Long Island on their nearly unmanageable vessel. Captain Ross of the Briery, who brought the news of the collision, believes that this is the case, although there is a possibility that the Fortuna was so severely injured that she sunk in a short time, Tn which case the three men went down with her.
 Captain Ross of the Briery, upon. reaching this port, stated that at the time of the collision the weather was comparatively clear with the wind blowing fresh from the south and a rough sea running. The Briery was on her voyage from Newport News to Portsmouth with a cargo of coal.
 When twenty miles south of Mon- tauk point about 4:15 this morning a in a moment the two vessels came to- gether with terrific crash. The Briery lost her entire headgear and the wreck had to be cut in order to save the hull from further damage. As the two ves- sells were locked together, Captain Chase of the Fortuna, with the first and sec- ond mate, the cook and one seaman managed to climb on board the Briery, without stopping to ascertain what damage their boat had sustained, but Ia heavy sea. parted the vessels before the three remaining men of the Fortuna could follow.
 Another huge surge swept the two vessels further apart and soon the For tuna was lost altogether in the dark ness. Captain Chase was able to state that the Fortuna's yawlboat had been smashed and the nizzenmast had gone overheard, but whether or not the col- lision had damaged her hull so she would soon sink he could not say. The Briery was too much damaged to finger so she at once headed for this port, ar- irving here about noon.
 As the Fortuna, if she is still above water( is in the lane of considerable coastwise shipping, there is a chance that the three men may be saved, al- though the ,destruction of their only boat will compel. them to drift with their vessel
 The Fortuna was bound for Boston and left the same port as the Briery, Newport News, only a snort time be- fore the latter. She is a good sized schooner of 5S2 tons burden and 151 feet over all. She was built in Boston and is owned by parties in that city. The Briery will make a few repairs here, af- ter which she will proceed to Ports- mouth.
