MIR. BRYAN Is BLAMED.
The Friends Of Senator Allen Make
Charges of Trenchery.

LINCOLN, NeD Nov. 1.-THE bitterness
engendered among the free sllverltes IN
Nebraska by the loss of the legislature
makes it doubtful whether fusion by the
three silver parties can ever again be pos
sible. Populists and Democrats are ALREADY
accusing each other of treachery. and
friends of Senator Allen, without allowing
themselves to be quoted directly, declare
their belief that Col. w. j. Bryan is re-
sponsible in a measure for Mr.. Aliens fall

ing that of omission rather than commits

The fusion legislative and state commit
tees were not in harmony during the cam

tiers and having separate offices, and the
charge il made that the antagonism be-
tween them resulted in the trading OF leg

4 Fable.

At a meeting Of the Sunset club of Chi
cago some years ago. the subject discussed
was, How Would You Uplift the Masses?"
The late Frances E. Willard presided. and
addresses were made by several well known
persons. After the regular platform was
completed some of those present were
called upon for remarks. Mr.. Henry D.
Lloyd, whose writings on questions Of an
economic nature have made him famous,
responded as follows:
NO echo of mine can add anything to the
this question has been discussed tonight:
but possibly, in default of any remarks Of
my own, you will permit me to repeat to
YOU a fable which 1 came across while
rummaging through some ancient manu-
script. 1t is, in fact one of the fables that
Aesop never published. It runs some
thing like this:
A fresh mich Cow was hard at work In
a pasture when she attracted the attention
of a Foreign Syndicate of Flies, who were
travelling through the country in search OF
investments. This is sure thing, said
the head of the Syndicate, who was
model merchant. There no flies on
this Cow Let us put our Trust in Her
and put Her in our Trust for it is poor
rule that will not work both ways The
Cow gave ner consent by silence, as is
usual in such cases. Harmony being thus
restored, the Flies settled themselves on
her neck and drew their Dividends from
her Circulating Medium.

Another story going the rounds is that

Tsse Maine Disaster.

The official investigation of the
causes for the disaster to the Amer
lean battleship Maine, and the loss
OF life consequent upon her des-
tructlon in the Havana harbor, will
begin in that city to-day. Capt.
sigsbee has already employed di
vers who report that parts of the
Maine, especially the superstruc-
ture and connections, are one con-
fused mass of metal. The cipher
code book, the log and many off.
clal private papers were recovered
by these divers.
Although these divers were EN-.
ployed by the government, and
were morally bound to secrecy. one
of them, so Capt. Sigsbee wired
the navy department., was bought
up by = newspaper. From him it
is supposed the startling informa-
ton was obtained-which is con-
tanned in II dispatch from Key
West, Fla, to the New York Her
ald-that the magazine in which
the explosion which destroyed the
vessel was Supposed to have oc-
Cured is intact and It's contents
unharmed. If this report be true,
al entirely different aspect is Civ
en- to the affair, and it is stated
that this intelligence was the rea-
son why the members OF the naval
court, detailed to examine the caus-
es for the wreck OF the Name, de-
cided and did proceed to Havana
at once, and to begin their investi-
cation there instead of organizing
the court at hey West, as was in
tended.
This startling information comes
to the public through non-sensa-
tlonal newspapers, among them
the New York fines, which says,
editorially, that the latest news
from Havana indicates that the
original theory that the explosion
in the magazine of the battleship
was the final cause of the disaster
will have to be abandoned

Arrest Of Jesse James, Jr., for Completely
In Trim RnhherY.

In Train Robbery.
KANSAS CITY, No., Oct. 11.-Jesse
James, jr., son of the notorious bandit,
Jesse James. Aiissouri's pioneer train
robber, was taken from his cigar stand
In the county court house by the police
this evening and is being secreted by
the police authorities. Two other men.
whose names Is not known and whom
the police absolutely refuse to talk
about, were arrested soon after the
police took young James Into custody.
Jesse James, jr., has been under sur
veIllance of the police since the last of
the many train robberles in the out
skirts OF Kansas City. This was the
robbery OF Missouri Pacific express
train near Leeds, on September q.
William w. Lowe, a. Santa Fe
switchman, has been In custody since
five days after the hold-up. Lowe is a
native OF the Cracker Neck district,
lust east of this city. which was made
notorious as the hiding place Of the
first James gang. When close pressed
the James boys, the Youngers. the
Ryans and others OF the old gang al
ways found shelter in the Cracker
Neck.
John Kennedy, the locomotive engi-
neer who has been twice arrested In
connection with the more recent tain
robberies in jackson county, is also
native OF the Cracker Neck. Kennedy
and Lowe and Young Jesse James are
friends, and though young James has
always borne a good reputation, he has
lately been under surveillance with the
others The police maintain that train
robbing will not be suppressed in Jack
son county until there has been puri-
fication of the Cracker Neck district,
and all their work since the last rob
berry seems to have been in this dlrec-
tlon.
Late tonight II became known that
the police had also in custody Bill Rg-
m, one Of the most notorious OF the old
Jesse James gang. Ryan, like the 9TH
ers. was reared in the Cracker Neck
district.

ONLY ONE WITNESS
esoro the War Investigating COMMITS
ni..r, Ynntnr,InH

aiou Yesterday
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. INA
jn- General William N. Graham was the
only witness before the war inyestiga-
ting commission to-day. He was the
nrst commander at Camp Alger, Va.
There was, he said. only one railroad
running into the camp, and the station
was about one and one-half miles dis
tant. No running stream was NEARBY,
out there many fine springs ana sln al
brooks formed by the springs, de
thought the water supply was suthelent
when the camp numbered no more than
five regiments of troops, but asN the
troops Increased 1t became necessary TO
dig wells. There was delay In digging
the wells, forty OF which were sunk one
for each regiment. The supply then
was anlplpe for all purposes except
bathing. 1t was his Impression that
there had been some complaints OF
sickness on account OF the water tam
inc, which had continued from the 10th
OF May until the 2jth OF June, with
varying degrees OF intensity, but he
had been through campaigns before in
which the water supply was not equal
10 that at Camp Alger. He was In
clined to attribute much Of the sickness
at Camp. Alger to the fact that the sol
diers insisted on taking the water from
the little streams running through the
camp. There had been considerable ty-
phoid fever at the camp, but 1t did not
originate there and the first cases were
Isolated. During his entlre stay at the
camp less than 4 per cent Of the COM
mand was sick. There were sixty-nine
deaths, FIVE being those OF officers.
Much OF the sickness in his opinion
was due to delicacies sent the soldiers
from home and he had issued an order
prohibiting the sale Of ice cream, pies,
etc, in the camp.
When typhoid fever began to be con-
sIdered an epidemic he issued strict or
ders for the detailing OF guards for the
care OF the sink, making any neglect an
Offense punishable by arrest.
