LINCOLN, Neb., July 18.--W William ].
Bryan s attention was called to the fact
that some ''anti-imperialists'' had an
nounced they would be opposed to him
on account OF the silver plank in the
platform, and he was asked whether
this fact would seriously affect the anti
imperialist vote, he said: IN.
s.Several gold standard opponents OF
imperialism have already announced
their intention to support the Demo.
cratic ticket, although the Anti-Im-
perial League has not acted officially.
In such natter each individual is
governed by his own views as to the
relative Importance Of issues. The
Democratic platform declares the ques-
ton of Imperialism to be the paramount
issue. If any opponent Of imperialism
refuses to support the Democratic ticket
it must be because he considers the
money question more important than
the Philippine question that he prefers
a gold standard empire to q bimetallic

With sad hearts the members of

Bile tribute to the memory OF the Vice
President, Mrs. Ruth Gerard, who
passed away January asnd, 1900:
Always hopeful for and helpful in
the cause she loved so we'll, she will
be missed not only by her co-workers
but large circle of acquaintances.
Her refined and sympathlc bearing,
her lovely selfdenying spirit reinforced
by many of the Christian graces won
many friends in whose momory she
still lives.
The influence she has left with the
community will bear the test of years.

We would not disturb her repose,
The shadows of evening are gathering
The day drawing nigh to its close
She has watched the sun fade in the distance
Below the far hills of the west
And now she has sunk into slumber
How tranquil and peaceful her rest"

"BuIIet Not Fired From Executive

LEXINGTON, Ky, Feb. 13.-Mrs.
Amelia Browder Saffel widow of Will
$. Saffel, Jr., who keeps boarding house
in Frankfort on Broadway near the Cap
itol square, said last night that she wit
messed the shooting of Senator William
Gocbel in the statehouse yard on the
morning of Jan. 80. She had been ask
ed by Colonel Roger u. Williams of the
Second regiment, Kentucky state guard,
to furnish board for several officers of
his regiment who were coming to Frank
fort. She had started to go to his Office
to tell him what she would do in the
matter.
Immediately after entering the in
closure she was passed by Senator Goe-
bel, who tipped his hat TO her. He turn
ed to the right of the fountain, while
she turned toward the left. just ms Mr..
Goebel was about opposite the fountain
she says she saw a man who was walking
a short distance behind him pull a pistol
and shoot him in the left side. He han
died the revolver with his left hand, and
the report was followed by small
amount of thin, white smoke. She saw
the man run to the statehouse, enter the
building and then come out and go to
the wounded man. She says Eph Lii
lard, whom she knows. entered the state.
house a few moments before the man
who did the shooting reached the steps.
She did not know the man who fired the
shot, but has given good description Of
him to Governor Taylor, who has also a
full written statement from her, as well
as one from n commercial traveller and
another woman who saw the occurrence.

Legal Battle Begun Between
Great Steel Kings.
Many Millions of Dollars In

Mr.. Frick Charges Mr.. Carnegie
With Fraud-Says He Is
Victim of Malice.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE announce
ment in the papers today that the long
threatened clash of the steel kings had
been finally precipitated by ii. G. Fricls
filing the widely heralded suit against
Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie Steel
company, praying for an equitable ac-
counting of the ex-chairman's stock hold
ings in the giant steel concern, created a
sensation in financial and manufacturing
circles here and was the principal topic
throughout the city. The suit is regard
ed as the most important ever filed in
connection with the steel business, and it
is said more money is at stake than in
any legal proceedings ever brought in
this country in which all the parties were
simply citizens. Steel manufacturers
view the trouble as IA bitter personal
struggle for supremacy and are watching
each move with intense interest.
The legal talent called into action by
the suit is an array of the giants of the
profession in this state, with probable
luminaries of national repute yet to be
included. On Mr.. Frick's side are John
G. johnson of Philadelphia, who stands
Mt the head of the equity lawyers of the
city and perhaps of the state and who
has been engaged in some of the greatest
legal battles of the country; David T.

ASSCHUR URMANSEESIT
Commercial Benefits Derived
From Recent War.
WORLDS MARKETS NOW OPEN TO Us
Where England and Germany Kept
the United states From Compete
tiOn IL Is Now Ours, and
the Lions Share.

ITHACA. n. V, Feb. 14.-President
Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell uni
versity, in delivering an address before
the Business Mems associatio of Ithaca
yesterday, spoke at some length on the
issues arising out of the Philippine ques
ton. Regarding the commercial benefits
which the United States is to derive as
a result of the Spanish-American war, he
said:
THE markets of the world are open to
us and receiving our products. The Span
ish war gave us a solution to that ques-
ton. That war was waged to drive from
Cuba an effete European power, a gov
ernment of tyranny. Irony of fate has
followed up our late war, and, paradox
though il be, we are now an Asiatic
power, with new outlets for our products.
"These are hard facts" continued Mr..
Schurman, "and as strange as they are
true. Where England and Germany kept
us from competition it is now all our
own, and the lions share is coming with
it. We allowed Africa to be sliced up by
European powers. 1t is our national
crime. China has opened the doors to its
400 100000 human souls for us. Russia,
France, Germany and England were di-
viding that great empire as Africa was
divided. We might have lost it. Eng
lishmen were in despair. Their trade
was ridiculed by Russia, Germany and
France. But the United States alone
opened the doors Of China and accom-
plshed one of the greatest achievements
in her history.
Our flag is anchored in the Pacific; it
is flowing over the Philippines. Hence
forth we are to be on an equal footing in
Asia with Russia, Germany, France and
England. But our mission is not alone
to make money .here, although Provi-
dence dropped the islands into our lap.
Eight million people with immortal souls
have been redeemed from tyranny Of
ages, and our mission is to share with
them our highest American civilization
and liberty. They will accept our flag
our education, and then our mission will
be accomplished. 1t will be their flag
and ours, their glory and ours, their pride
and ours, emblem of, the orient in its
| highest and noblest FORM"

report in favor of government ownership
of railroads and for their seizure on pay.
ment of actual value and without pay.

been drawn up, that the government
should seize the railroads on payment of
actual value "and without payment for
franchise values"
Unanimous action was finally obtained
by cutting out the words franchise val

tered stock or other fictitious values"
The committee also unanimously favor

Of obtaining the result.
