WERE SURE OF VICTORY.
Democratic Campaign Managers
Had No Idea Of Defeat.
PARTY'S REORGANIZATION.
No Likelihood that Amy Steps in This
Direction VIII be Taken Before 1904
and by that Time New Issues VIII
Probably Appear.

Little Rock, Nov. Ex-senator
James X. Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, left
last night for Washington. Before
leaving he said in an interview:
THE election result was great
surprise to all democrats AL were
so confident of success that the
sweeping republican victory came as
a severe shock. Even on the evening
of the day before election, reassuring
kilograms came from leaders that
New York was safe for Bryan and
from leaders in other pivotal states
that the democrats were sure to win.
1t was these forecasts that buoyed
us up to the last moment and made
the actual result more startling.
But Mr.. Bryan is great man., one
of the greatest in the United States,
and his influence will be felt for
many years to come in American poll
tics. He is giant in intellect and
simply interchangeable in the prosecu-
tion of a campaign. Whether he Will
be candidate for the presidency in
the near future remains to be seen,
but it is not probable that he will.
1t is more reasonable to presume
even should it be offered to him.
REORGANIZATION? Oh, that's all
nonsense. There's nothing in it and
it will blow over in 30 days 1t is
precipitated by those who deserted
the party and gave aid to the enemy
and does not represent the strength
or the spirit of the genuine democ-
racy. What they would do is to adopt
all the policies of the republican par
ty and be democrats only in name.
But, grantin~ that there is cause for
so-called reorganizat ton, who has the
power within the party to do it now?
Not the disgruntled disorganizers
who have raised the issue. If there
is to be reorganization of the ma
tional committee or platform it can
not be done for four years, or until
the next national convention.
'.As to the issues, they must de-
pend largely upon the national and
international developments of the
next four years. 1t may be laid down
primarily, however, that the demo-
cratic party will. never vary from it's
established fundamentals. strict
construction of the constitution and
an answering adherence to its prin-
ciples and an economically admins
tered government for the benefit of
the governed The silver question
may solve itself. Should the amount
of gold produced be ample to main
tain a sufficient volume of metallic
money and insure che stability of
prices, the silver question will be sub
ordinated; but should the supply fall
short of the demands of trade the sill
yer question will be made prominent.
The question of Imperialism may also
find solution outside the ballotbox.
| believe the supreme court will de-
eide against the Porto Rican law, and
should this be done, there will be >;
revulsion on the part of the republi-
cans themselves against the retention
of the Philippines. But just what the
issues of 1904 will be no one can pre-
diet with any certainty"

Rescued from the Rigging.

Detroit, Nov. 22.-After pounding
around in Lake ST. Clair for several
hours yesterday, fighting the storm
which ragged all day, the small steam
barge Myrtle NJ Ross foundered and
went to the bottom three miles east
OF the south end of the ship canal.
Capt. Surls and a crew of five men
and woman cook were rescued from
the rigging o. the steamer, where
they had been olinging for over an
hour with the seas breaking com
pletely over them, by the crew of the
steamer w. l.. Frost.

AN EVENTFUL VOYAGE.
The Steamer wilhelm Der Crosse Is
Bnffcted by Huge Seas and Finally
Runs Aground.

New York, Nov. 23.-The Kaiser
Nilhelm Der Crosse arrived here
Thursday, As hours overdue, and to
add to her other mistortunes ground
ed near the southwest spit in the
lower bay, after passing Sandy Hook.
She left Cherbourg November IA,
making the passage in seven days, 20
hours and 20 minutes, with an aver
age speed of 1922 knots. This is the
slowest trip ever made oy the steam
er.
From the moment of leaving Cher
bourg she experienced stormy wealth
er. On November Is she had south
west winds, with rain squalls and
high seas. On the 10th the wind in
creased to hurricane force from the
northwest, with very heavy sea.
The steamer labored heavily during
the whole day. The engines were
slowed down to nine knots. At times
the seas boarded the highsided craft
and caused some damage to her rails
and fittings. On the 10th at p. IN.
one blade of the port propeller was
lost and the engineers were obliged
to slow down the engines.
On the 21st coal trimmer named
Knick jumped overheard and was
lost He was German about II
years of age. During hazy weather
on the 21st the liner passed so close
to an oil tank steamer which was
deeply laden that the passengers
could look down upon her decks. Out
side the bar, Dennis Reardon, the
Sandy Hook pilot, boarded the vessel.
On rounding the southwest spit, the
steamer being under too much head
way to turn the sharp angle of the
channel, ran INTO the mud: later in
backing off she fouled a sparbuoy and
it is supposed that the chain wound
about the propeller, as the vessel
stopped and was unable to move. y
divers services will be used to-day to
ascertain the exact condition before
any attempt is made to move her.

RING DOWN THE CURTAIN.
Charles HI. Hoyt. the Famous Play
wright, Is Dead.

Charlestown, n. H., Nov. 21.-Charles
II. Hoyt, the well-known playwright.
died at his residence here last night
of paresis. from which he had been
suffering for several months. Ever
since his return to Charlestown, after
his release from private asylum in
Hartford by order of the court early
in August, it had been known by his
attendants and nearest friends that
his condition was serious and that
there was little or no chance for his
recovery, but Mr.. Hoyt apparently
was hopeful of ultimate recovery.
Previous to two weeks ago there
appeared to be slight Improvement
in his condition, although he had pc
riods of depression. About two weeks
ago his appetite famed and he had a
bad turn from which he only partial
ly recovered. Since that time he had
be mable TO take any except liquid
ishment, but continued to be up
q !. around his room until Monday.
He steadily lost strength and yester-
day morning he suffered a relapse and
became Unconscious, in which condi-
tion he remained until death came.

WAR REVENUE TAXES.
Members of the Ways and Means Com
mfttee are Figuring on "a Plan 10
Reduce Them.


Washington, Nov. 21.-The rcpubli-
can members of the ways and means
committee met Tuesday to consider
measure for the reduction of the war
revenue tax. The most important ac-
tion taken was decision not to re-
move the tax of ten cents pound on
tea. The committee will not take up
or disturb the tariff on imports, as
the members claim it would open up
the whole subject of tariff revision.
Secretary Gage and Commissioner
Wilson, of the internal revenue bu-
reau were before the committee for
some time during the afternoon. The
secretary told the committee that in
his opinion there might be reduc-
tion in revenues of S3O,0O0,000. The
war revenue act now raises about
S100,000,000. Commissioner Wilson
went over the schedules with the
members of the committee and both
he and Secretary Gage were ques-
toned as to where reductions could
be made to the best advantage from
the treasury viewpoint. consider
able part of the discussion was con-
fined to Schedule b, which taxes me-
dicinal and proprietary articles and
preparations, perfumery, cosmetics,
chewing gum, wines, etc.
There was also discussion of stamp
taxes. The discussion indicated that
the committee favored quite a change
in this feature of the law and reduc
tions wherever possible. The com
mittee also desires to eliminate the
taxes on conveyances, of which there
has been a great deal of complaint.
1t can be stated that in general
way it will be the aim of the com
mittee to abolish the most burden
some taxes and to grant relief from
stamp taxes as far as possible.
The committee called on the presi
dent to obtain his views on the pro-
posed reduction.
The committees conference with
the president lasted less than an
hour. The committee and the presi
dent agreed on the desira bility of the
reduction or abolition of the war
taxes where they have proved annoy
ing and irritating to the interests in
volved and yet have not produced
very much revenue. The president
believes the surplus in the treasury is
accumulating too rapidly and that
conservative reductions may be made
safely, or the taxes entirely removed
in some instances.
1t is not believed the bill can be
prepared and ready for the full COM
mittee until the session begins. The
measure after it is agreed upon by
the republicans will be submitted to
the democrats of the committee.
Suggestion has been made that the
oleomargarine bill now on the house
calendar and made a special order for
December might be made a part of
the war revenue reduction bill. Rep
resentative TGw ". the father of the
oleomargarine bill, when asked about
this. said that the oleomargarine bill
would be passed by the house early
in the session. so that an opportunity
would be given to ascertain if there
was disposition to defeat the meas
ure in the senate by any unusual de-
lay In such case he intimated that
the oleomargarine bill might be made
a part of the revenue reduction bill
in the senate.
