SUIT FOR COMMISSIONS
WIDOW Of THE LATE CALVIN s.
BRICE ASKED TO PAY 100000.
Thomas vi. King and James Il. Terry
Claim 5 Per Cent ON Deal In
voIving $2,00O,OOO.

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-Catherine o.
Brice. the widow of the late Calvin S.
Brice and Administrative of his estate. is
the defendant in a suit begun In the Su-
preme Court. in which Thomas NJ King
and James T. Terry seek to recover 100000
as commissions in a deal which was con-
Quoted by the late financier for the pur-
chase of the controlling interest in the
Pittsburg & Western Railroad. Origin
ally the suit was entered against Frederick
p. Olcott, William A. Read. Henry w. Cam
non and George T. Baker, who, 1t was
alleged, were interested in the deal with
Mr.. Brice. Since the beginning of the
action, however. the plaintiffs assert they
have learned that the first four men had
no part in the transaction between Brice
and King. AS result Justice Scott, in
the Supreme Court, to-day granted an order
striking out the names of Olcott, Read,
Cannon and Baker as co-defendants in the
suit. The action. therefore, is directed
against Mrs Brice, as Administrative of the
estate of Mr.. Drice
According to the complaint a combine
consisting Of Mr.. Brice and several we'll
known men formed in 1898 for the pur-
pose of buying from s1,SoO.OOo TO s2,lOO0oO of
the second mortgage per cent. gold bonds
of the Pittsburg & Western Railroad. The
entire issue Of bonds, says the complaint,
amounts to $.5O0,000. On Oct. 5. 1898. Mr..
King received a letter from Mr.. Brice stat
ing that In behalf of several men he de-
sired to buy from sl,S00,0O0 to $2,100.000 of
the second-mortgage bonds of the road at
so per cent. of the par value. The letter
also stated that 5 per cent. additional will
be paid by Mr.. Brice to Mr.. King for all
bonds up to 100000 delivered by Mr. King.
This offer was accepted by King, and in his
complaint he asserts that between Oct.
and Oct. 81, 1895. the plaitiff delivered, as
directed by Brice 100000 worth of bonds.
Since that time the plaintiffs have not been
able to collect the per cent. promised.
In her answer to the suit Mrs. Brice adj
mits that the demands have been made in
behalf of the plaintiffs for the commits
sions alleged TO be due. She says, how
ever, that she has no knowledge of the
contract, and then makes denials of some
OF the allegations. 1t appears that Mr..
Brice's friends in the alleged deal did not
know of the deal between King and Brice
as to the per cent proposition.

than unsanitary buildings. The indications
are that ten thousand of the allies will win

the largest. Some of the troops will prob

Nagasaki. The Russians will retain at
least two thousand here.
A joint expedition to Pao-Ting has been

Y, --CHAMA, Sept. Z, via Victoria, B. c.,
Sept. 20.-The country Is tremendously
stirred up by the discussion of Russia s
proposition to withdraw from Picking.
While there is no fear of Russia, there is
the deepest distrust over her diplomacy and
a conviction that an alliance exists between
the Muscovite power and the Empress
dowager's government. The political situa-
ton here now hangs on the outcome Of this
Russian question.
An account has just reached us OF the
straits to which the Picking garrison was
reduced from the lack of ammunition dur
ing the last days of the siege. Every scrap
of metal, no matter how valuable, was
utilized. and it is said the enemy was great

rained upon them this being an intimation
of the failure of the garrison's supply of

Bryan reviewed briefly his own experience
az a soldier. and said: IF L am successful
in this contest and become the chief exc
cutive OF this Nation you may rest assured
that during the four years of my admin
istration the soldiers of this country who
offered their services when their services
were needed and made the sacrifices which
soldiers are called upon 20 make will re-
csive just and generous treatment at the
hands of the administration. 1 take IL for
granted that your interest In this cam
raign is due, in part, 20 the fact that you
are citizens of a republic and do not care
10 be citizens of an empire. take IL 70:
granted that your interest I'm this campaign
is due not only TO the fact that you live
here now, but also TO the fact that you
expect your children TO live here after you.
In the campaign of 1900 the Democratic
party has declared the question OF imper-
ialism to be the paramount issue because
We are dealing with the foundation prin-
ciples of government, and VI those principles
which we have adhered to in the past are
wrong then we must begin TO construct
new form of government The Republican
party has attacked the foundation of our
form of government; IL Is not a question
whether we feel interested In the Filipinos;
IL is a question whether we feel interested
I'm ourselves and I'm posterity, for when we
strike blow at the theory OF self-govern-
ment in the Philippines we strike blow at
that theory in this country. lApplause.l
My observation rs that all over this coun-
try the people are becoming alarmed al the
present tendency of the Republican party.
The Republican party to-day does not
stand for the principles which II stood for
when many OF you We're members Of that

believes that TO remain a Democrat would
