at the Kimban House tonight He had
this TO say of his experience last night:
L was in the Pullman with the others
who escaped with their lives when the
wreck occurred. There was not an in
stant's warning. We heard suddenly an
indistinct crash, and the next instant felt
our car pitch forward and drop. The for
ward end of the car filed with water at
once and the lights went out We heard
the roar of rushing waters and knew we
were in a stream of some kind. We got
down on all fours and felt and crawled
our way to the top of the car and then out.
The car was hanging by its rear trucks
to the stone abutment of the culvert and
swayed by the motion of the water swung
to aud fro like great pendulum.

No CHANCE FOR CLEVELAND.
Bryan Sentiment Too strong to JUS
tify an Effort.

Washington, June 4-Cleveand admir-
ers in this vicinity cannot see any opening
for their champion at this siege Of the
presidential race, although he has been
strongly suggested in certain quarters.
Hon. John Goode of Virginia, former
solicitor general during the Cleveland adj
ministration, in discussing the situation
to-day. said that he would gladly sup
port a movement to nominate Mr.. Cleve-
land on the Democratic ticket fthere were
the slightest probability of bringing about
such a result.
1T is too late" said he ito organize
movement in behalf of Mr. Cleveland. Ii
might have been accomplished six months
ago or before the delegates 10 the Demo-
cratic Convention were selected. Now the
state conventions have been held and
more than two-thirds of the delegates
have been instructed TO vote for Mr.. Bry-
an. Those delegates would not dare vio-
late their instructions, for it would mean
political suicide for them al home 1t Is
note likely that the convention could be
stampedcd for Mr.. Cleveland, and II Is
but idle to talk of the convention throw
ing Mr.. Bryan overheard, and turning TO
Mr. Cleveland. In my judgment, and I
pelleNe II Is tue Judgment OL every ASdS-
onable man. the trend of sentiment
in the Democratic party is so fixed in Mr..
Bryan that ii would be nothing short OF
a miracle that would turn them aside from
that course at this late day"
other well-known admireres of Mr..
Cleveland entertain and express similar
views 1t is well known In this connec-
ton that MI Cleveland and some of his
warmest friends were the orlginatoTs 81
the Dewey boom which collapsed as sud-
denly as it was launched. There is ne
use dsputing the fact that the practical
business men of the Democratic party not
only in the East but in the South, stu
have a feeling of affection for Mr.
Cleveland, and would gladly second any
practical movement to return him to the
White House If they regarded 1t as
possibility under existing conditions. The
men in control of the Democratic organi-
zatbon at present would further wreck the
party rather than see Mr.. Cleveland again
commanding the Democratic column.
