mendous ado was instantly raised
about it by his Jealous press agents,
and it was made to appear that the
episode was another act in the har-
rowing tragedy of ''crucifyiDg the
people upon cross of gold" For, of
course, it was the work of Republic

ordered by Mark Hanna himself. 1t

PEELED the champion of the people to
ride ''in an ordinary car"
Now, the fun of the thing is two
fold. In the first place. it turns out
that the railroad in question is what
may be called Democratic road. 1t
is chiefly owned and managed, that
is to say, by stanch and loyal Demo
Gratis who, it is to be assumed, will
vote for the man whose private car

view of that fact the Republican oc-

to assume that every trust is Repub-
lican institution; else where would
Brother Bob's Ice Trust be? And if
Democratic railroad maguates see fit,
for business or any otbrr reasons, to
deny favor to their own candidate
for the Presidency, why, men and
brethren, it certainly does not seem
in accord with the eternal verities to
throw the blame for it upon Mark
Hanna or upon the Presidents Phil
ippine policy.
But the other part of the fun is
perhaps better still. For, mark you,
the burden of the complaint is that
Mr.. Bryan was compelled, if he want
ed to travel on that Democratic rail
road, to do so in an ordinary car.
This horny handed son of toll, this
plain man of the people, this advocate
of Jeffersonian simplicity, this inhex-
ible foe of fuss and flummery, was ac-
tually compelled to emerge from the
sequestered recesses of private
coach and to ride in a plain, everyday
car along with other people. How
utterly revolving! If it had been
Mark Hanna, now, or that wicked
and naughty imperialist William Nc
kinley, it would have been all right.
Their feelings would not have been
Jared in the slightest. But that this
unassuming Democrat, this combined
reincarnation of Cincinnatus, Thorn
as Jefferson and Solon Chase, should
be compelled to jostle elbows with
his fellow citizens and ride "iu an Or
binary carr with other people-at
thought of that the mind recoils and
the heart sickens.

THE Hon. John T. McGraw, of
West Virginia, who was so solicitous
for the comfort and welfare of Col.
Bryan during the latter's trip to
Maryland, would have probably won
AN enviable reputation among his
fellowDemocrats for hospitality and
unselfish courtesy by his devotion to
the comfort and welfare of the can
didate if it had not been for an al
most fatal slip which we observe in
the story of Mr.. Bryan's visit to Deer
Park printed in a morning contem-
porary. Colonel McGraw," the cor
respondent said, sis doing much to
add to the ease and comfort of Mr..
Bryan. Colonel McGraw is the rec
ognized candidate for the United
States Senate should the West Virgin
ia Legislature be Democratic. There
are times when it is really embarass-
ing to an aspirant to have an unduly
presumptuous correspondent reveal
the milk in the cocoanut to the disre-
spectful gaze of the vulger masses.
Letting the cat out of the bag right
in the midst of the political game
spoils the entire spirit of the sport. -

AT EAST LAKE
Destiny" to be Given Fine Produc-
 tion Monday Night

The Robson Theater Company will begin it's third successful week tomorrow night in a very pretentious production of the strongest drama in it's repertoire, entitled, Destiny"
 ''The play deals principally with Western border life, abounds in strong dramatic situations, wholesome comedy and plenty of it, and is woven around as pretty and pathetic love story as was ever presented on the American stage.
 The company. which is increasing in pop ularity, will show up in its entire strength tomorrow night. Each and every member now has his or her respective following of admirers, and all who attend tomorrow night will have an opportunity to see their respective favorites acquit themselves in the most creditable manner.
 The specialties of Miss Pfaff, MT. Hall and MT. Earl P. Adams are features of every performance. These three clever people are far above the usual speciality performers, and their work added to the interest of the play itself, will furnish programme not excelled by anything ever attempted at the park. Miss Nelson and MT. Robson will essay the leading roles.

In the Meantime the Question is

AS TO SAFETY OF MINISTERS
One Message Received in Berlin Says All Are Safe and Free from Mo- lestation Under Protection

London, July 22 4 A. M.-In the absence of news from China the papers devote much space to a discussion of the pro and con of the reliability of the Chinese as- sertions of the safety of the Pelxin minis ters A similar discussion is being repeated in various forms at the different European capitals
 The latest news is the dispatch from Che Foo of the date of July 20, received in Berlin, saying that the governor of Shan Tung had telegraphed all the con- suls 'I have just received authentic news to the effect that all the ministers are free from molestation and under the protection of the government"
 While these reiterations have been caus- ing some revival of hope, there Is, too, a great distrust of Chinese sympathy for any acceptance as to its truth.

REPORT IS DENIED
That the Southern Will Buy Part of the
 Seaboard

Portsmouth, Va, July 21.-(Special) J. President Williams and Vice President St.
 John were in Portsmouth today and were asked what they had to say in regard to the newspaper story to the effect that J
 P. Morgan and Company, or the Southern Railway, had purchased a controlling inter- est in the Seaboard Air Line System. They replied that the report was utterly false and was doubtless being circulated with malicious intent, and originated with the same parties who have been conducting the fight against the Seaboard Air Line System for the past few years. To show how absolutely ridiculous the story is, they authorized the statement that the entire capital stock of the Seaboard Air Line System has been deposited in voting trust which has ten years to run, and in addition to this a large majority of the voting trust certificates are also owned by the voting trustees and their immediate associates. President Williams also added, the public can safely brand as false any rumors of this sort, which are being, and probably will continue to be, set in motion from time to time by certain railway inter- ests inmical to the new Seaboard and for the evident purpose of adversely affecting the business of this system. If the Seas board wanted to purchase the Souehrn Railway it could do so with greater ease than the Southern could buy the Seaboard

4 STRONG APPEAL
 ID WAGE WORKERS
Executive Council of American Federation of Labor Wants
 Organization.

Denver, July 1.-The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor issued an appeal to all wage-workers to organize and federate. It says:
 Throughout our country a struggle Is ragging between the oppressor and the oppressed, the possessors of wealth and the laborers; the concentration of industry and wealth is the order of the day. Every worker must suffer disastrous results until they organize and federate to protect and promote their mutual interests
 'In this combination and concentration sectional or state lines to interfere with their power, and it therefore behooves the toilers, the wealth producers to unite and federate regardless whether they are To- cated East, West, North or South; ire spective of sex, politics, color or religion. The hope of the workers, the prayer of all our people, for justice and right and the perpetuation of republican institutions lies in organized labor
 Recognizing these essential truths, the Executive Council of the American Feder- alton of Labor appeals to all wage-workers of whatever trade calling to organize unions where they do not exist, to join those already organized to form unions and international unions of their respec- tive trades and callings and to affiliate in one common bond of labor upon the broad platform and under the proud banner of the American Federation of Labor.
 In calling upon the workers to unite and federate we aim to do no one wrong, but establish rights for all"

TWAS 4 BUSY NIGHT
 FOR THE POLICEMEN
Officer MuIIin Finds New Way of Capturing a fugitive-
 Row in a Saloon.

Last night was a busy one for the police department Calls for the patrol wagon were constantly coming in, and the officers were kept busy until an early hour this morning gathering in offenders
 There was a lively row in the Bell Top saloon, Twentieth street, between Second and Third avenues, about 9:3O o'clock last night between John Moore and Ed Good rich. These two were engaged in a rough and tumble fight, which resulted in Good rich receiving a knockout blow in the left eye.
 As soon as Moore struck Goodrich he broke and ran out of the saloon and down Twentieth street. Policeman Mullin, who was standing near the street corner, gave chase. The fugitive turned up Third ave- nue towards Twenty-first street, and was only captured after hard race
 Officer Mullin put his club to a new and somewhat novel use during the chase. See ing that Moore was likely to escape he threw his club at his rapidly disappear ing form. The aim was true and resulted in the capture of the fugitive.
 Both Moore and Goodrich were lodged in the city jail, Moore charge of assault and Goodrich on charge of disorderly conduct.
 John Walker, who escaped from Coal burg the early part of last week, was cap tured in Sylacauga yesterday. He boarded a Southern Railway train and was recog- nized by the conductor, who notified the Sylacauga.
 The negro resisted arrest and was only captured after being shot twice. His wounds, according to all accounts are not serious. He Is now in jail at Sylacauga awaiting instructions from Chief Austin.

Kathia- war and Baroda the rainfall has been in- sufficient There has been little sowing ex- cept in few places. It will be impossible to continue sowing for food crops after August 1. The sowing of cotton will con tinue until August 15. In the central provinces excellent rains have prevailed lately. If the monsoon continues favorable within the cultivated area crops will fall short only at Naghur and Chattisgard. The prospect at Bedar Is encouraging. At Baj- putana the rainfall has generally been suffi- cient for agricultural purposes save in a few sections where the heavy mortality of cattle has been felt. The agricultural pros poets in Central India are generally satis- factory and while more rain is needed in Mysor and other provinces, no distress is reported.

So far the insurrectionists have been in- duced to respect the towns of Panama and Colon and confine it to the country out side. But this condition can scarcely con- tinue, and the Navy Department is under the necessity of sending another vessel to take the place of the Machias if one can be found, to protect American interests on the isthmuS
