What BRYAN Says.

Nebraska City. Sept. 26 Being
shown telegram to the effect that
Theodore Roosevelt was assaulted at
Victor, Colo, by band OF hired ruffians
tonight, Mr. Bryan wrote the following
statement:
"From what know OF the people Of
Colorado, am not willing to believe,
without further evidence that they de-
MED Mr.. Roosevelt or any one else fair
hearing. II it proves true that he was
mobbed or in anyway interfere with,
am sure that it was not the work of any
political organization. There can be no
justification for resort to violence in
this country and those who resort to it
iniure the cause which they represent" !"

President Mckinley Pleased.

Washin ston, Sept 26-The reported
adhesion of the British government to
the position assumed by the United
States government regarding the pro-
position to make surrender Of the Chi
nese ringleaders condition precedent
to negotiations has given the greatest
satisfacton in official circles here.
The report that Prince Tuan has been
signally honored by the Chinese gov
ernment has not yet been officially con-
firmed, although the authorities have
word of Chinese rumors that some such
action has been taken. Tne matter was
referred to today in the talk between
Acting Secretary Hill and Minister WI
and the latter stated that he did
not credit tho report, for the reason that
the place OF gr nd secretary, said to have
been conferred upon Tuan, is one OF
comparative unimportance, mainly
sineeure, and is not held by prince OF
the blood, as Prince Tuap is. In view OF
this information the state department is
not disposed to attach serious imPor-
lance to the reports, but it it should
prove true that Prince Tuan has been
advanced to high station it doubtless
will be taken cognisance OF by the state
department and may lead to serious con-
sequences. The government has laid
down the principle that no one in any
way connected with the outrages shall
have anything to do with the forthcom-
ing negotiations, aud this applies to
Prince Suan, or any others notably con-
nected with the distur Dances.

TRAVEL ALMOST FREE.
Russia Has the Cheapest of Railway
Fares

Russia Has the Cheapest of Railway
FArea-
The Russian government is now pro-
viding transportation to emigrantA
from European Russia who are willing
to make new homes in Siberia at ratsa
of fare that have probably never been
equaled for cheapness. The third-class
tickets sold on the Russian and Trans
Siberian railroad were believed to be
about the cheapest in the world; but
the fourth-class tickets which the gov
ernment has recently caused to be Of
fered make the others costly luxury
by comparison. These tickets are sold
to any one of ia stations in Siberia,
and they are good from any point In
Russia. The fourth-class passenger.

clear to Vladivostok by the railroad,
and its steamer connection. now COM
plete, a distance of about 5000 miles,
he has to pay four and half roubles,
or $3.50. The government thus prac-
tically gives free transportation to
those inhabitants of Russia who will
move into the fertile agricultural and
industrial regions that have recently
been opened in Siberia. The czar and
his advisers are anxious to secure tho
rapid development of Siberia. and 50
great efforts are making to fill the new
regions with an Industrious population.
In the last three years about 100000
Russian peasants, stimulated in every
way by their government, have re-
moved to Siberia, and today its popula-
ton is about 100000. This growth in

got the bidarka fever. II wasn't too
old think l would turn Alent. It's
very silly to live in the way most white
people do! Ii you don't know what a
bidarka is look it up in the encyclopedia.
You poor fellow! You can't ride in one
at Grand Junction.
At Kodiak made several trips in one
with two OF my Alent frienos. They
couldn't speak word Of "Americansky"
nor l of Alent but you can have lots OF
fun without talking. Anyway we did.
One day we padded about ten miles
and then climbed mountain together.
We followed bear trails part OF the way
and tho we didn't see any bear we had
the excitement OF knowing that we
might see one at any time and the ko-
disk bear are the largest in the world.
Larger than an OK.
Afterwards l saw the hide Of one that
was about twelve feet long and nearly as
broad! Then was rather thankful that
had not met one.
But we saw two foxes and an otter and
picked salmon out of a shallow stream
where we forded it AMI shot them with
bow and arrows from the birdarka.
At the mouth OF little river that we
passed in going and returning, there was
an immense school OF salmon. In some
places they crowded in so close to the
shore that Thousands OF fins and tails
were sticking up out of the water. They
made great splashing as we went by
them and several times we could feel
them against the bottom OF the bidarka.
One day we got up little fishing
party nine Of US, and we went over
there and caught over 1900 salmon. (big
ones, from one to three feet long, in
about two hours. But that was cold
blooded white mans fishing-with a
seine-and wasn't half as exciting as
shooting one with an arrow from BIZ
