Some days ago the suggestion was made
by business man that Twenty fourth
street, across the Union Pacific tracks, be
opened in order to make thoroughfare to
the Rock Island depot in Albright 1t ap-
pears from an inspection of the ground that
this plan is not feasible and the only alter
native is the erection of wagon bridge. I'm
der existing laws, the municipality has the
right to direct the railroad company to con-
struct and maintain such bridge and more
than likely this question will be submitted
to the council by the business men before
long. As it is now teams bound for the
Rock Island depot are compelled to make a
wide detour as the Union Pacific track is
fenced clear to Jefferson street. BY using
bridge across the tracks a great deal of
time and expense would be saved in the
hauling of freight. AS the Rock Island can
not maintain a depot in the heart of the
city the proposed bridge is considered a
necessity and will be built if the authorities
go at it in the right manner

EASY FOR BRYAN.

Support of Tammany, Governor Stone
Says Minimizes the Opposition.
ST.. Louis, Aug. 17.-Governor w. J.
Stone had the following to say regard
ing the recent purported interview with
Richard Croker:
"lf it is true" said the governor,
"that Mr.. Croker really favors the
nomination of MIR. Bryan, Tammany
will certainly follow him and then
there will be practically no opposition
to Mr.. Bryan in the convention. The
hearty cheers which greeted Governor
Hogg's speech in New York on the
Fourth of July would rather indicate
that Mr.. Bryan is not lacking support
ers in the Tammany organization. With
Tammany supporting him there will be
but very little opposition in the East to
Mr.. Bryan.
"a statement has been made pur-
porting to come from Mr.. Croker to the
effect that what he said complimentary
OF Mr.. Bryan was not intended as an
Endorsement of his candidacy for the
presidency, but merely for the purpose
OF paying a tribute to deserving pub
lie man. Still it may be that Mr..
Croker sincerely thinks that the party
could do no better than to nominate
Mr.. Bryan" f..

would leave for Greenwood at once to

For more than week a gang of So
called whitecaps have been whipping
negroes in this county almost every
night. Negro houses We're visited and
the inmates taken out and beaten. Sew
eral nights last week this performance
was repeated and a wide territory has
been covered in this manner by the
whitecappers. The negroes are said to
be in a state of terror and many spend
the nights in the woods and swamps,
while others seek the protection Of their
white landlords.

PRACTICALLY A BOYCOTT.
Radical Means Proposed to Compel tho

RADICAL means proposed 20 Compel tho
Gulf Road to Advance Rates.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Radical means
are to be used to bring the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf road to time
in the matter of freight rates, which
that road makes too low to suit COM
petitors. Several Of the more i'm
portant roads running southwest from
Chicago have decided to cut off all re-
lations with the Gulf line. All divi-
slonal arrangements will be discontin-
ued and the Gulf line left to shift for
itself in the matter Of through connec-
lions to and from Chicago and st. Louis
districts and the Southwestern territory.
The question was brought to head
at meeting of the freight officers of
the Western roads in Chicago The
conference was stormy one, officers of
several of the roads advocating an open
and shut boycott Of the Gulf. While
this was not agreed to the result will be
practically the same, as officers Of all
the Chicago and st. Louis lines are
worked up to such state of indigna-
ton over the alleged policy of the Port
Arthur route that they are ready to
take any action that will tend to isolate
it and compel it's receivers to advance
their rates.

"The shooting of Labor will warm

has Disguised honest men. The at
tempted assassination is not the out
come of weak mind; it is part of a
general plan, is cold-blooded, premed-
itated and paid for.
''This syndicate of assassination
feared Labor and wanted his life and
documents. The same men are re-
sponsible for the razor which cut
Henrys throat, for the rope which hung
Locrinier and the pistol that shot La:
bori. History furnishes no example Of
crime so atrocious.
''The list includes the murder of
Dreyfus, if acquitted"

BROOKE TO VISIT ROOT.
Cuba's Governor General Summoned t.
Washington.

JUDAS Governor General Summoned to
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug II. - General
Brooke will be called to Washington to
consult with Secretary Root concerning
affairs in Cuba. The secretary desires
to have the benefit of General Brooke's
knowledge of the condition of things in
the island before he reaches any def
mite conclusions as to the future policy
for Cuba. No date has been fixed for
General Brooke's visit, but it will no
doubt be determined by the develop
ments Of the situation and before the
secretary begins his annual report to
the president.
Colonel Kennon Of the Thirty-fourth
infantry, recently appointed, but who
has been on duty at Havana as assistant
adju1ant general, had long conference
with Secretary Root during the day.
Colonel Kennon so impressed President
Mckinley with the information that he
brought from Havana that the presi-
dent thought it advisable he should
talk with Secretary Root. Colonel
Hennon assured both the president and
Secretary Root that the course that
General Brooke was pursuing met with
general approval and was of that care
full and conservative nature required by
the conditions in the island. It was
necessary to make radical changes. but
the policy of the general has been to
make the old fit the new with as little
friction as possible,

MANILA, Aug. 17.-Scouts belonging
to the Third infantry, located at Bal
1uag, discovered a strong force of in
surgents intrenched in the vicinity of
that town. They attacked the rebels
and the fight continued until reinforce
ments came up with two field pieces of
the Third artillery. The insurgents
were then shelled out of their trenches
and driven back to the hills. The
American loss was one killed and two
wounded.
The rebels continue to threaten the
railroad track at various places. A
band of 80 was discovered tearing up
the rails in the vicinity of the bridge at
Bigaa. A patrol of the Sixteenth in
fantry surprised the gang and drove
them from the line, killing one Of their
number.

GAINS STRENGTH,

1nsurrectton on the Islands of Negros
and Cebu Said to Be Spreading.
MANILA, Aug. 10: via Hong Kong,
Aug. 17.-Arrivals and mail advices
from Negroes and Cebu agree that the
insurrection is gaining strength remark
ably in both those islands, which had
hitherto been counted as the most
friendly in the archipelago and which
received with the greatest cordiality
Professor Schurman, president of the
United States advisory commission for
the Philippines, at the time of his mem
orable tour. Outbreaks are feared par
ticularly in Cebu, where some of the
leading men have gone over to the in
surrection. Many of the wealthy in
habitants are preparing to leave the ISL
ands. Seniors Llorente and Melante,
superior court justices for Negros and
Cebu, have gone thither from Manila to
use their influence against the insurrec-
ton. The results Of the autonomist
government in Negros are disappointing.
Insureent Bands Numerous.
Insurgent bands are operating there
as they did in Cuba, destroying much
plantation property, claims for which
are being presented to General Otis.
The commandment of Peste, on the east
side of Laguna de bay, by the Napidan,
whose commander, Lieutenant Copp,
was under the impression that the town
had been reoccupied by the insurgents,
aroused strong resentment among the
natives of the whole lake region. It is
asserted there that the officers and crew
Of the gunboat landed and looted the
best buildings after the bonn bardment.
The crew Of the, Napidan has been
transferred to other duty.
Officers of the United States gunboat
Wheeling, which has returned here
from cruise along the north coast of
Luzon, report that the insurgent forces
occupy every village.

AS Communication Is Opened Dis

More Appalling.
Two Hundred Bodies Recovered
at Arecibo and Hundreds Are
Missing.
General Davis Says the Disaster
Is Greater Than He Had
Anticipated.

NEW York, Aug. ia dispatch to
The Herald from San Juan says:
communicable with the distressed
districts is still only partly open. Are
cibo was devastated by the hurricane
and later was flooded by the Arecibo
and Manati rivers. Two hundred bod
les have already been recovered, and
hundreds more are missing. It is
thought they were swept into the
stream, as the town was inundated to
depth of six feet The town is now
rapldly filling up with starving persons
from the country. Only four soldiers
were drowned, but all are without
shelter. Captain McComb and his men
did valiant service in saving life. Forty
persons were rescued from floating
wreckage. A thousand head of cattle
were lost there
At Naranzito, 20 persons are known
to have been killed. A thousand are
homeless and starving. Moravis is
totally destroyed.
At GALES, 20 persons were killed.
Many are missing at Barcelonita. Seven
residents were killed. At Cayeye the
uedtn roll is at ledSC ~.
It is impossible to estimate the loss of
life and property in the country dis
tricts. Every river is still swollen and
passage is we'll nigh impossible.
Children Dying by Hundreds.
The crops are totally DESTROYED.
Children are dying by hundreds from
starvation and exposure.
All the people are focking to Bayamo
for food and shelter. A courier has Just
arrived here from Yabucoa. He says
the town was demolished by the storm.
Already so bodies have been recovered,
and it is estimated that 200 persisted.
Many are wounded.
Medical assistance is scarce in all
parts of the island. What makes the
present distress greater is the fact that
a month ago all public improvements
were stopped, owing to the lack of ap-
preparations. Thousands of persons
were then thrown out of employment.
A renewal of public works would be a
great relief.
General Davis says the latest reports
show the disaster to be greater than he
had anticipated, and extends over the
whole island. He is doing everything
in his power to alleviate the suffering,
and has every confidence in generous
responses from his appeal to the Amer
lean people. Where possible the troops
that lost their shelter in the hurricane
have been ordered to San Juan.

that recourse to force in the arrest of

fireman, but to leave M. Guerin choice
between self Imprisonment and arrest.
Meanwhile it looks as though this affair
would have a rather tame ending. The
friends of M. Guerin are busying them
selves to rescue him from an impossible
