BRYAN VIEWS.
Thinks Many Opposed to Silver VIII
Nevertheless, Support the Ticket.

(By Associated Press-)
LINCOLN. NEB, July Nv. j.
Brvan.s attention was called to-day to the
fact that some anti-imperiaiists had an
nounced that they would be opposed to
him on account of the silver plank in the
platform, and he was asked as TO whether
this fact would seriously affect the anti
inlperialist vote. He said
several gold standard opponents of i'm
perialsm have already announced their IN
tention to support the Democratic ticket,
although the Anti-Imperialistic League has
not acted officially.
''In such matter each individual is
governed by his own views as to the rela-
tive Importance OF the issues. The Demo-
cratic platform declares the question OF
imperialism to be the paramount issue.
IF any opponent of imperialism refuses
to support the Democratic ticket because
Of the silver plank it must be because he
considers the money question more i'm
portant than the Philippine question;
that is. he prefers a gold-standard en-
pire TO a bimetaIc republic. When the
test comes l believe that those who ad-
here 10 the doctrine that government de-
riYes its power not from superior forces.
but from the consent OF the governed,
will vote our ticket and endorse the silver
plank 4 large majority of the Demo-
Gratis believe thnt a restoration of BIZ
metalfism will prove a blessing, but the
anti-imperialists who dispute this will
admit that any evils that might arise from
b;metallism could be corrected more easily
than the evils which would follow from
the deliberate endorsement of militarism
ana imperialiSm.'

Runaway Horse Takes Broad Street

Among Pedestrians.

Broad Street, from Second to Seventh

time yesterday evening between and {
o'clock. and it seems little short Of a
miracle that some fatal accident did not
occur.
The usual crowd was out for an airing.
and numbers of baby carriages We're being
rolled UP and down the popular thorough
fare.
Suddenly the thunder Of iron-shod feet
plying along the sidewalk drew the atten-
ton OF all, and a large bay horse, 10 whom
was attached only the Shafts Of a vehicle
came down the northern side of the street
at break-nech speed.
Then there was a wild rush on the part
OF The crowd TO reach places of safety
The horse kept in the middle Of the side
walk, paving no more attention TO the
throns than if they had been flies.
Near Sixth and Broad he ran into two
ash-balrels on the edge of the walkWay
Both We're shjvered TO pieces, and for a
moment dense cloud of ashes obscured
the movements of the beast. a little

screamed, but none We're in a position TO
aid them.
Providentially, however, the course Of
the animal was diverted slightly and he
, Numbered by barely missing the carriages
and their tiny occupants, all unconscious
Of their awful danger.
Near Seventh and Broad a young lady
was in the path OF the racer Though ter
ribly frightened she did not lose her powers
OF locomotion. but fed wildly into the
nearest store with such impetuosity that a
glass was shipered and her hand ana. arm
severely cut.
Meanwhile the wild career of the horse
was stopped q short distance further on.

IBERIA and Manchuria. The district has
been the scene of local disturbances for
long time, owing 10 the provocative con-
duct of the Cossacks toward the 5000
Chinese employed in the construction Of
the Russo Manchuria Railway.
Several serious collisions have occurred
between the Cossacks and the Chinese
troops. One happened several weeks ago
when two Russian officers and sixteen men
were killed. The extension of the Boxer
movement to ManChuTia has resulted in q
great destruction of the railway, compel-
ing the Russians to withdraw their Off

The Chinese, according to the Daily
Mails st. Petersburg correspondent, have
thrown UP Notifications and placed forty
guns at a point twelve miles from AIsun
to dispute the progress of the Russians
The official Russian advices leave the in

Russian hands, the Russian losses during
the bombardment being only three killed

DEMAND RE,TRIBUTION.
The Amur Military District was nobil-
ized a fortnight ago on war footing, and
it is believed that the Russian forces there
are fifty thousand men and hundred and
two guns. The Governor-General has now
ordered the troops on the frontier to form
Gordon.
The Russian papers demand severe re-
tribution for Chinese audacty in ManChu
ria, but they hold to the view that Russia
must persevere in her resolution to avoid
war.
The Chinese Minister in st. Petersburg
has disavowed the events in Mancnuria
on behalf of his government, and has pro-
missed to make serious representations to
Pekn regarding the consequences that
will follow if the hostiiities there do not
cease
There Is little further news from China
this morning. The attack upon the native
city of Ten Tsin was followed up so
swiftly that the Chinese never had time
to reorganze, and once their lines Were
broken, their retreat rapidly became a
