BRYAN WANTED EXTRA SESSION.
DESPERATE EFFORTS MADE TO HOLD
DEMOCRATIC AND POPULIST SEN
ATORS IN LINE.

Washington. March 1 (SpeciaD.-In connec-
ton with the passage of the Army bill il is
pertinent 10 relate the efforts which Bryan made
to hold the Democratic Senators and their Popu-
list allies including Mr.. Teller. of Colorado.
firmly in line against both the Spooner Philip
pine resolution and the Platt Cuban amendment,
and thus force an extra session of the
Congress. 1t will be recalled that, pending final
consideration of those measures in the Senate.
Mr.. Allen. who was appointed by the Populst
Governor of Nebraska to a short term in the
Senate, made two speeches against them His
first effort was tame and perfunctory. but his
second was impassioned and threatening. II is
now explained that he made the second speech
only after Bryan had sent a telegram urging him
to try to rally the wavering Democrats against
the governments policy, even at the risk OF
losing the River and HarbOr bill. with more than
half of its S50,000,000 for the South and West.
of the Missouri Senator losing the 100000 for
the St Louis Fair. and of Tillman losing cer-
tain special appropriations for South Carolina.
Bryan did not send this urgent message to
Allen until he had failed in his efforts TO screw
the courage of Jones. of Arkansas: Tillman
Cockren and Teller up to the sticking point
Allen did the best he could TO avail, and
when late at night he realized that he could
make no headway he telegraphed Bryan in effect
party in the Senate. and I have concluded to-
quit and denOunce the whole cOwardiy outfit'
MIR. Allen refuses to show the kilograms that
passed between him and Bryan this interest,"
ing subject. although it is known positively that
the telegraphic correspondence here indicated
was carried all through the closing day OF
the Senate debate on the governments Philip
pine and Cuban policies Naturally. Senator
Jones' of Arkansas. chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. refuses TO discuss the sub
ject. and denies emphatcally that Bryan tried
TO influence him in any way while the Philip
pine and Cuban amendments were pending Ie
is significant fact, however, that since Senator
Bacon of Georgia. led a revolt against Jones's
leadership in the Senate and Judge De Arnond
denounced Jones in the House there has been a.
lively revival Of the talk of deposing the Ar
kansas man from the head of the Democratic
National Committee.

BRIDGE BOARD LIKELY TO GO.
EAST RIVER COMMISSIONS END THOUGHT
BY LEGISLATORS TO BE NEAR.

BY LEGISLATORS To BE NEAR
The days of the New East River Bridge Com
mission are numbered. said Republican legs-
lators returning from Albany last night. Acting
in accordance with Governor Odelrs programme
for retrenchment. it is expected that a New-York
Assemblyman will next week introduce a bill
for doing away with the commission. This will
be also IN accordance with the recommendation
OF the Charter Revision Commission. The work
Of the commission of late has been largely per-
functory. and now that the construction work
the bridge Is well along there doesn't seem
to be much use for the commission. which is
made Up as follows: Lewis Nixon. president:
James w Boyle vice-president; James ID. Bell.
secretary; Julian d. Fairchid treasurer; John
w Weber and Smith E. Lane. The salary of
each commissioner is $1,000 a year. the rent Of
the headquarters in the Rogers Peet Company
building and clerk hire bringing the cost of this
commission up TO about $4,000 year
The work now performed by the commission
will he done by the regular Department of
Bridges. after the commission is abolished.
Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea said yester
day that his department would have trouble
in taking of the extra work.
The doing away with the commission will
leave James w Boyle the former Tammany
leader of the With District without political
berth. and there is considerable speculation as to
what will become of him. No one need worry
about taking care of Lewis Nixon, president
of the commission. He has a shipyard. and is
consulting engineer for the Cramps. and will not
miss the $1,000 a year Mr.. Fairchild is presi-
dent of a trust company in Brooklyn and does
not trouble himself about pin money" either.

STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT LEADER
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

IN The hOUSE OF COMMONS.
London, March 1-At question time in the
House of Commons to-day Charles p. Scott
Q4iberaD asked Mr.. Balfour, the government
leader, when in 1899 was the government in
formed that if war ensued between the Trans
vaal and Great Britain a result OF the diff
ferences which were made apparent at the
BIoemfontein conference the Orange Free State
would undoubtedly throw in her lot with the
sister republic. Mr.. Balfour's reply as taken
down by the stenograpber as follows:
All the information We have on this subject is
necessarily matter of opinion. and therefore
coniectural in its character, else is contained
in statements of eX-President Steyn. in which
case unfortunately, it is mendacious.
This announcement brought forth cries of
"Oh," from the Irish and other members op-
posite and Mr.. Balfour dropped the subject.

Of his own age. but of his elders.

indeed, wealth he is thankful to those
who have spent such efforts in his

The new feat!' Then, If we have
time, the excursion.
And while the body Is thus trained
you may be sure that other accom-
