the death. in Chicago, Sunday night. OF
Mrs. Thomas b. Bryan. mother of Mr..
Charles Page Bryan, Minister TO Brazil,

Byrd Page one of the leaders of society

The Chicago Times-Herald, in speaking
of her death, says:
Mrs Bryan was taken sick March 18TH
her illness being caused by cold, which
ultimately developed into the grip, and
thence into paralysis of the heart. She
lost the power of speech on Friday last,
and at no time after that did her physi
was attacked with the grip two years
ago which left her in an enfeebled con-
dition, and the recurrence of the disease
found her with a constitution too weak
to resist its strength.
Before her marriage Mrs. Bryan was
Miss Byrd Page, famous for her beauty
throughout the Valley of the Potomac,
her home being in Alexandria, Va. She
was popular in society. and her wedding
was q social event, which for its bril-
liancy is still remembered by the old resi-
dents around Washington and AleXan-
dria. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan settled in
Elmhurst in 1886, since which time Mrs.
Bryan has been conspicuous for her
charitable deeds and love for home and
friends. She was popularity known, not
only in Chicago and other American
cues, out IN the capitals OF Europe,
where she had frequently visited with her
husband.
"She leaves two children Charles Page

Subscription TO Repay Spain for
Powder Used In Blowing Up Maine.

A Denver (Col) special OF Monday says:
Colorado is very convincing in It's method
of showing its disapproval OF the policy
OF President Mckinley In dealing with
the present crisis. In Durango last night
a mob gathered and burned the President
in effigy The mob was not otherwise
particularly demonstrative. but went
about its work in a businesslike way.
When the figure representing Mr.. Me-
Kinley had been reduced TO ashes a grim
humorist. member of the mob, started
a subscription to reimburse Spain for the
powder used i'm blowing up the battleship
Maine. This subscription reached good
figure il few minutes, the crowd fall
ing into the spirit OF the leader.
Colorado Springs has been the scene of
a big demonstration against nifty we'll

that another petition for peace will be
circulated there soon

CARTER COURT-MARTIAL.
Adjutant ROsseli and Col. Ludlow
Approve Defendants Method.

SAVANNAH, GA, March 29-Adjutant
Rossell. Corps of Engineers, stationed at
William Rossell, Corps of Engineers, sta
toned at Mobile. and Colonel William
Ludlow, in charge of the Notifications OF
New York harbor, were both on the
stand before the Carter court-martial to-
day. They testified upon engineering
points. approving Captain Carriers inter-
probation of his contracts and his office
methods.
In support of Captain Carters position,
Colonel Ludlow said: 1T is indispensable
that the officer who is engaged in this
work. and who is responsible for its sue
cess and execution, must not be hampered
to any greater extent than is absolutely
necessary to secure a proper accounting.
You must give him a rather wide dlscre-
ton, large limit, just as you would a
doctor in case Of sickness. You would
not prescribe what medicines he should
use in advance; you would give him the
run of the drug-shop and let him use IL;
but you would see that the government
did not pay for more drugs than We're
actually used. The rightly Of the con
struction must come in when II comes 10
the amount Of payment. There you can
not be too particular and too rigid 10 see
that the payments to the contractor shall
represent work actually done. But when
it comes to the details of the work you
must realize when you put man in
charge of a very difficult enterprise-one
involving all the abstract laws of by
draulics, most of which are done out OF
sight-that he is engaged IN struggle.
and should not be hampered too much.
Let the contracts be drawn so that
liberal discretion may be given him, and
In To- az h..
allowed the same"
He was followed by Major Il. A. Bland
ford and Messrs. II. c. Ripley and George
w. Brown, all civil engineers. who testi-
fed with regard TO technical engineering
points

and Case demanded.

NEW ORLEANS. La, March o.
Judges Pardee, Mccormick. and Swayne,
in the United States Circuit Court of APP

Star case. The latter sought 10 prevent
the Texas roads from giving the Mallory

plaintiff, virtually instituting a boycott.
The court refused TO maintain the in

tract of the railroads and the Mallory
Line was legal that the Texas commits
sion could not interfere with interstate
commerce; that Congress had not granted
the Interstate Commerce Commission the
right 10 interfere with such contracts,
and that the Circuit courts could not
grant such intunctions in advance Of the
necessary legislation. Hence. the decision
OF the Texas Circuit Court granting the
Injunction was reversed. and the case re-
