Col. Bryan in his speech at Mil,

Col. Bryan in his speech at Mill
waukee on the 18th, among other
good things said:
The trusts are now absorbing an in
creasing share of public attention be-
cause of their rapid growth during the
last two years. We had a sugar trust
and an oil trust some years ago. We
now have biscuit trust and a match
trust and meat trust-in fact trust in
almost everything that is used. The
milk trust receives the infant as he enters
the world, the ice trust cools him in the
summer, the coal trust keeps him warm
in the winter, while the coffin trust waits
to receive him when life's fitful dream is
over. The people are beginning to see
what the principle monopoly really means,
and yet the principle of monopoly, so
plainly illustrated by the industrial
trusts, does not differ at all from the
principle of monopoly which underlies
both the gold standard and the paper
money trusts. In 1900 bitter struggle
awaits us. The old fight must be made
again, fight along the lines laid down
In the platform of the last Democratic
convention for the rights of the plain
people, fight against corruption and all
Its awful menace to the republic, fight
against the the trusts that seek to make
OF this nation, founded upon the theory
OF the absolute equality of all men, a
sertdom submissive to the power and ar.
rogance Of wealth, fight for everything
that will lift the people higher, fight
against everything that will restrain the
public in the onward march of its tri.
umphant destiny. If We remain true tc
the theory and the practice of what
Democracy means and stands for, there
is no need to doubt the success of the
tissues of the combat"

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Resident Of Oakland Has . Mare
row Escape.


OAKLAND, JuneS11. - About mid
night last might a desperate attempt
was made to murder H. K. Belden, San
Francisco manager of the Hartford In
surance Company. Mr.. Belden, who re-
sides in an elegant mansion in. this city,
was called to his door by a stranger
who said he had an important message
to deliver. AS soon as the door was
opened the unknown man struck at
Belden with an AK While trying to
close the door Belden was hit on the
arm by the handle of the ak, which
flew out Of the would-be murderer's
hands and fell in the. hallway. The
wielder of the weapon then made his
escape. Mr.. Belden says he knows Of
no one who would wish to kill him.
Two arrests have been made on sus-
picion
Frank H. Cheeseman, an insane muir
derer, who recently escaped from the
Stockton Asylum, is now vigorously
hunted down by the police. A WE'LL
founded theory points to him as the
possible assailant of H. K. Belden of
Oakland, who narrowly escaped assas
sination in the doorway of his own
home on Saturday night. From the
nature Of the assault, coupled with the
fact that Cheesman Is thought to be
hanging about his old haunts, the Off
Gals feel justified in their belief that
he is the mysterious messenger who
welded the ak.

TRAGEDIES AT THE BAY.
A Grocer's Clerk Fatally Stabbed
as Result Of a Drunken Row.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-As the
result of a drunken row on the street
tonight John Landsman.j grocer's
clerk, was fatally stabbed, and three of
his companions, William Simpson,
James Monahan. son of police ser,
geant, and Frank Bush all slightly cut.
The latter three are in custody, but
another one Of the party, Fred True
worthy, alias "Hunkers," who is sup
posed to have committed the murder,
has not yet been arrested.
Accounts of the affair are conflicting,
as the three prisoners refuse to talk,
but from the evidence of boy who was
an eye witness it appears that Lands
man and Simpson came out of Wise
mans saloon and grocery at the corner
of Laguna and Union streets, and had
reached the corner of Greenwich street
when they met Bush and Monahan.
Bush took off his coat and started a
fight, In which all participated. Dur
ing the mix-up knives were used and
suddenly Landsman, who was scuff1ing
with Trueworthy, fell to the ground
with two wounds over the heart and one
in the abdomen. He died on the way
to the Receiving Hospital, and was then
taken to the Morgue. No cause except
pver-indulgence in liquor is given as
the cause of the row, and it Is said that
Landsman and Trueworthy had never
met before.
An aged man whose identity is not
positively known was struck dead with
a club tonight in a saloon at $50 Clay
street by the barkeeper. Gustav Red
leb. The victim, who was about 30
years old, and evidently in reduced cir
cumstances, entered the place, and
without taking a drink proceeded 10
the lunch counter. He was proceeding
to satisfy his hunger when the bar
keeper ordered him to leave. AS he
made no move to go Redleb seized a

cseded to enforce his command by

A Tornado Sweeps Over the coun-

Three People Killed Outright, and Another
viii Probably Die.
Wild Reports AAoat as to Damage
In Other Sections, but the Ru-
mors Not Verifled-The Sixth
Tornado in the District During
the Present Season.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 11.-A special
to the Tribune" from Sioux City. Ia,
says: A tornado at $50 this after
noon struck two miles southeast of the
little town of Satix, sixteen miles from
here and killed three people outright
and one more will die.
The dead are: John Malloy, farm
err; Mrs. John Malloy, his wife; Harry
Malloy, 16 years old, son.
Miss Bessie Malloy, the 1S-year- old
daughter, had her skull fractured, and
is not expected to live.
Thomas and Pat Malloy are badly
hurt. One other member Of the fam
lily of father, mother, seven sons and a
daughter, was injured.
So far as can be learned at this hour
no one else was killed or injured. The
family was at supper when the funnel
shaped cloud was first seen, and Dick
Malloy told his parents to go to the
cellar. He ran to the home OF Mrs.
Hassell, a widow, across the road, to
warn her and her seven children. He
took them to the cellar, and the house
was whirled away, injuring no one.
He had to hold one boy by the legs,
as he was being drawn up by the sue
tion Of the wind.
But the Malloy family across the
road only remained in the cellar about
five minutes, and the father suggested
that the cloud was only rain. They
came up, and in an instant the house
was demolished. The dead and in
jured members were scattered among
the ruins.
The conductor of a freight train saw
the cloud and stopped his train before
it got in the storm, and when he
reached the town he held his train long
enough to bring in the injured to the
hospital at Sioux City.
Wild reports are af1oat of damage in
Woodbury. County, but this cannot be
verified.
At Homer, Neb., revival tent was
blown over and an unknown woman
was fatally injured.
This is the sixth tornado in this dis
trict this season.

1t is often hard to tell whether a
Cuban lies to you from ignorance or
malice, says Herbert Pelham Williams
in the Atlantic On ordinary occa-
slons, and about matters that do not
promise to affect himself, he is fairly
truthful; but he seems TO know no rea-
son why he shouldn't tell lie if he
wants to. To the average Cuban who
has always lived on his own islam l. a.
lie is a thing to tell whenever it will
serve any useful purpose-such ds get
ting him out of a scrape, or securing an
| advantage, or getting money out Of
somebody, or conctliating some one, or
creating a good impression Here the,
absence Of a moral sense becomes an
parent. With the Cuban, lying is not a.
matter of right, but of policy, his short
sightedness preventing him from per-
ceiving that to-day's advantage may be
to-morrow's loss. The statement. COM
mon among Americans who have lived
in Cuba, that the Cubans are all liars.
is much nearer the truth than most
concentrations. Though they usually
tell the truth, nearly all of them dis
simulate or eQufvocate whenever they
| see occasion. Hence it is not aiwsys
easy to tell what a Cuban thinks or
| how he feels about the future of the
island. He sometimes tells you what
he thinks you want to hear. Every
man of property wants Cuba to be un-
der American control, bat he will not
ADMIT 1t before a crowd. or even to
another Cuban, unless convinced that
he too is heartily in favor of it. The
trait appears likewise in accounts of
the Cuban army. However, it is only
fair to say that the glowing descr:p-
lions given by the Cubans of the per-
formances and the glorious victories Of
that somewhat mythical force are not
Intentional, deliberate, cold-blooded
lies. Carried away by imaginations as
fertile as the soil of their island. they
actually believe their own monstrous
inventions. For after all, the Cuban
loves better than all other things on
earth to strike an attitude, to pose. 10
strut and brag, and make himself out
great man and his gentle fellow ISL
anders great nation.
Thousands of Cubans really believe
that there was once a. band Of men
worthy to be called Cuban army. and
that they fought BATTLES Others ad-
nit that there were merry little COM
panies of stan vlr G stra gglers, who some
times fired their two cartridges apiece
from ambush at Spanish scouting par
ties, and then scattered. But they all
think they did great execution. Get
some American or Englishman who
was with them to tell you his views Of
it, It will be discouragingly different.
Cuba is infested with after the war;
soldiers, braggadocio mock heroes who
never got within earshot Of lighting.

Desperate Inhabitants.
he Train Robbers to be System
atioally Hunted to Their Death,
Railroad Managers Determining
That the Outlaws Shall be
Given No Rest Until the Whole
Gang Are Brought to Justice.

CASPER (Wyo.), June 1.-THE Hole
in the Wall, for years the refuge of
outlaws, promises to be cleared Of its
desperate inhabitants. The daring rob-
Der band which looted the Union Pa
cific express recently and escaped to
their dens in thhe Hole-in-the-W Wall, in
spite of the fact that they were closely
pursued over plain and mountain, are
to be Systematically hunted to their
death.
To this purpose the several railroad
managers with interests in this State
are organizing posses. and the outlaws
will be given no rest. IL is expected
200 men win be engaged in the big man
hunt.
The State and express and railroad
companies have offered an aggregate of
5000 each for the heads Of the mem
bers of the band. In addition to this
head money, in the event Of success,
the men who are arranging for this
chase will be armed and fed by the cor
porations and big cattle companies of
this section during the time they are
engaged. Thus they are enabled to en-
list a typical band of rough riders, ev
cry man of them dead shot Many
of them are cowboys, others are old
frontiersmen, who have fought Indians
in the same territory over which they
will now pursue the bandits, and still
others are the trained detectives of the
big corporations. The various bands
of man hunters will be accompanied by
Indian trailers, bloodhounds and pack
trains. The men are all to be sworn
in as Deputy Sheriffs. and will be in
charge of officers Off the several counties
in Northwestern Wyoming.
A gorge so narrow that two horses
cannot walk abreast is the only gate
way to the Hole. There are paths over
the granite for men. but not for beasts.
Leading in from Montana there are two
or three obscure routes that eventually
enable one to reach the rendezvous of
the outlaws, but they are known to
but few trailers and Indian fighters.
The man hunters in this case, however,
who have been hired for an indefinite
time, will avail themselves of the known
trails, and the end Of the outlaw reign
in the Hole-in- the Wall country is be-
lieved to be near.
The six road agents who looted the
Union Pacific express box will not OPP
pose the small army of the allies alone.
1t is estimated that at least fifty men
on whose heads there are prices set,
and who are wanted in many States,
are to be found hiding there. Some Of
them are following the peaceful pur-
suits Of farmers and ranchers, and only
seek to hide their identity. Many of
these men are convicted criminals, and
some of them are under sentence of

AN ENrERrA1N1NG STORY
How Princess Salm-Salm Kissed
President Lincoln.

The following story of the intimacy
and regard that existed between Lin
coin and Major General Daniel E.
sickles was told by the General himself
at a recent Afternoon reception given
by Princess Salm- Salm in her apart
ments at the Hotel Cambridge.
''At luncheon given by me to Pres
ident Lincoln in camp" said General
Sickles, Il noticed that the President
was suffering from one Of those meIan-
choly moods that sometimes attack men
of strong purpose and abundant native
wit. After trying in every way that
could to dispel the gloomy thoughts
that weighed SO heavily upon the Pres
ident's mind, / at last proposed to the
women that they should draw up in
line and kiss him. They entered hear
tily into the joke, but no one seemed
equal to the task of being the first.
Whereupon I turned to Princess Salm-
Salm and declared that as she was the
youngest. tine sprightliest and the most
courageous of the company it should
devolve upon her to set the example
and head the march.
but, General objected the Princess,
he lis so very tall, will never be able
to get up to him. Ah,' replied I, if
you will but intimate ever SO slightly
your intention, I am sure Lincoln will
do ali in his power to overcome the
difficulty
ut is needless to say" continued the
General, that the idea succeeded. In
fact, it worked like charm, and the
women were not only amply rewarded
for their charming bravery. but the en-
tire camp felt with a renewed force the
power and charm concealed in a wom-
ans kiss
THAT night the President mentioned
the kissing episode to Mrs. Lincoln.
Who We're they?' asked Mrs. Lincoln.
The Princess Salm- Salm and other
charming women replied the President.
'Ah,' said she, who from this moment
was a stanch enemy Of the Princess,
what could you expect? Those wom-
en- are all circus riders
Hence said the General, 1.-The orr
gin of the story that the Princess Salm-
Salm began her career as a circus rider.
Soon after this event in the camp
dined with President and Mrs. Lin
coin, and was greatly disconnected by
the frigid demeanor of my hostess, that
she maintained against every attempt
the President made to restore peace
between us, for Mrs. Lincoln was not
yet able to forgive me for my sin
against her in being instrumental in
bringing about the camp kissing.
Finally almost in despair, Lincoln
turned to me, and in his quiet way re-
marked, I am told, General, that you
are an extremely religious man.

credit 1 replied. 2F.
