Strong Letter From A Mis-
SOurlan.

Iohn w. Breidenthal, fusion candidate
for governor of Kansas, has received
letter from c. F. Moulter of Altoona, Mo-,
in which he says:
"My deep anxiety to see you elected
governor of Kansas will be found my
apology for addressing yon, stranger.
Judge Moulter then proceeds: But 1t is
this desire to say to you: Shortly be-
fore Governor Leedy was defeated a
trusted agent of the New York Life In
surance company, then, and | presume
now, residing in Kansas, WAS in my
Office, and the subject of the Kansas cleo
ton was discussed. | had known the
AGENT for ten years, and knew him to be
a truthful man. In this conversation he
confded to me that Governor Lcedy
would be defeated, and explained the
manner in which it would be accomplish
ed. He was SO confident that Lecdy
would be defeated and McNall turned
down that my curiosity was excited, and
| encouraged the conversation.
"He told me that his company and
three others had subscribed 100000,
each giving $4,000. This was about a
week prior to the election. He said this
had been placed in the hands of trusted
man in the Populist party for the purpose
of buying Democrats and Peoples party
men to abstain from voting. He said
this method would be resorted to more
generally in remote counties, and would
be felt in every voting precinct,
"After the election studied the vote
and could very easily detect this work.
This will be resorted to again to the full
est extent at the coming November cleo
ton and if not prevented it will defeat
BRYAN and yourself as well. 1t will be
resorted to in all the close states. Han
ma is not depending upon speech making
He is now in Chicago and says he is en-
gagged in work more important than
talk. Asst looks to me England, Russia,
Germany and our government are com
bincd to divide the earth and destroy the
popular government. vast malorit y
of the people are poor and getting poor
er. With quiet temptations many
hundreds of thousands of them would
part with their ballots.
"The trusts and moneyed combines do
not intend to allo Colonel Bryan to be
president. | warn you that your defeat
and that of Col. Bryan are relied upon by
the adoption of the same methods that
defeated Governor Leedy i'll 1898"
Mr. Moultcr was some years ago q
nominee for chief justice of Missouri.

festival and incidentally entertained hun
dreds of visiting newspaper men so roy
ally. The krcwe this year has charge

It's Waller This Time.

Captain John L. Waller has written a
letter to Colontl Little from Santiago de
Cuba, in which he advises the colorco
people to support w. ] Bryan.
Mr.. Waller is one of the best-knowi
Negroes in America, and has always beer
a staunch Republican. He Unlisted in the
Twenty third Kansas and went to Cuba
as a captain. He remained when the
regiment came home In his letter, h'
says:
Mr.. Bryan is against the trusts, i'm
perialsm and a large standing army
He is opposed, also, to imposing any
taxation on Porto Rico that he woulc
not require New Mexico, Alaska or Okla
homa to pay. He is the advocate o
Cuban and philippine independence, un
der a carefully arranged American pro
tectorate.
have always believed, and do still be
lieve, that if Cuba is entitled to independ
cnce, the Philippines are none the less so
If not, why not? Again, | believe that
peace on these terms could have beer
made more than a year ago with the
Fllipinos, which would have put an end
to bloodshed and rendered the large
standing army-which we now have ten
thousand miles from home-the first
time in our national history-unnecess-
airy.
We should not blame the Filipinos Tor

they simply emulate the American people

The vessel was discovered aground by
Beach Patrolmen Griffin and Tuttle. Sig
nails for assistance were displayed, and
the crew OF the Morlches Ltfe-Savlng
Station answered them, informing the
crew OF the vessel that efforts would be
made to take them off. There was very
rough sea on, and the life-savers decided
that to launch the surf boat would only
place thenselvesin great peril.
The crew ran out the other llte-saving
apparatus, and before daylight shot lie
line out to the vessel. The second one
reached her, and then the crew OF tne
Hitchcock began to haul in the line. At
its end was the heavy line which operates
the breeches buoy.
Despite the simplicity OF the gear and
the printed directions which accompany
the whip line and cable, the crew OF the
Hitchcock managed to foul 1t. The
breeches buoy had been rigged when the
crew OF the Hitchcock was still hauling on
the line and tho apparatus had been an
chored, but 1t was impossible to use the
buoy owing to the foullng aboard the ship.
The crews from the Moriches, Forge
River, and Patunck stations arrived at
daylight to aid. The crews waited for tho
ships crew to clear the lines, but they did
nothing. At s O'Clock Captain Seaman OF
the East Moriches crew sisnaled to clear
the lines. The signal was answered as un-
derstood and men were seen to 80 to tho
lines, but 1t was o'clock before the lines
were In working order.
The Hitchcock had meanwhile driven In
further, and readjustment OF the anchor
and shore line was needful. A few minutes
after ten O'Clock the breeches buoy reached
the ship on Its first trip. The first man to
enter the breeches took the trip through
the water as the ship rolled toward the
shore Just as he reached the line.
The second mans departure was better
planned, and he rode ashore without get
ting wet. The rest had varisd fortunes
until the ninth man was safe. Captain
5orensen then entered the breeches. bring
Ing his papers and instruments. He also
landed safely. As fast rs the men we're
landed they were taken to the station and
cared for. ~

Regarding tho Seizures of American
Goods-Air. Uay Holds That Britain's
Action Was su Interference With the
Trade of Two Neutral Nations.
WASHINGTON, D. C. (SpeclaD. The State
Department has received by tcable from
Ambassador Choate at London statement
Of the facts he had learned in connection
with the seizure by British warships OF
American goods on three merchant vessels,
The Beatrice, the Mashona and the Maria.
The goods comprised not only -four,
but miscellaneous articles OF com.
mon trade, and while they were
,hipped for Lorenzo Marques in
British and German ships, yet the
contention OF the officers hero is that they
wore not subject to seizure. They coulu
not mako representations on tho sublect
until they possessed knowledge or the
facts, but us soon rs Mr.. Choate's state
ment was received instructions were sent
10 him by cable to inform the British Gov
ernmcnt that the right OF seizure ID these
cases were not admitted.
This Is the preliminary step usually
taken In such negotiations. Next in order
will be report from the American consul
lar representative at Lorenzo Marques re-
specting the present condition OF the goods
seized or detained and the damage sus-
tained. The State Department is not yet
fully informed on these points, although
they will bo necessary to the further pre-
sentation OF the case. 1t will be the duty
Of the consular agent at Lorenzo Marques
to ascertain and report these facts, and he
Is now engaged in doing this under the Or
tginal instructions OF tho State Depart
msnt.
i While tho Department IS acting, as 1t
promised in the beginning, firmly to pro-
tsct all American rights OF trade, 1t Is
showing no unseemly haste In the r-esen-
tation Of the case. The instrr ctlons ito
Mr.. Choate were not q demand for the re-
lease OF the goods, nor for Indemnity,
but rather precautionary notice to the
British Government to save all the rights
Of the United States. 1t will be sufficient
10 effect settlement OF the matter by ne
zotiation, and the State Department has
not the slightest doubt that the British
Government will make full amends to tho
owncrs OF the goods when all the facts are
laid before it.
