BRYAN ON
Latter's "Polftical Flop'' a Forerun-
ner of Changes in the South.

Lincoln. Neb.. May I'm a state
ment made today. William j. Bryan
takes Senator McLaurin, of South Car
DINA. to task for what he declares is
his political flop. At the same time
Mr.. Bryan admits that Senator Nc
Laurin's action marks the beginning
of a movement in the south which will
have an influence upon the politics of
the nation. He says:
1T is not likely that Mr.. McLaurin
will be the leader of the movement,
because he is handicapped by the fact
that he is using his official position to
misrepresent the views and interests of
his constituents. but some leader will
arise to give direction and force to the
ariStocracy and plutocratic element for
which Mr.. McLaurin speaks. There is
such an element in every community
and now that the race question no long
ed unifies the white people of the south
ern states. it will doubtless manifest
itself.
Senator Tillman has already taken
up the gage of battle thrown down by
Senator McLaurin and will doubtless
be able to marshal a considerable ma
jority in that state. but the same in
fluences are at work in other states,
where there is greater danger Of their
success.
The democratic sentiment is strong
enough to resist and overcome h Nc
Laurin movement. but those who be-
lieve that the man is more important
than the dollar will have to bestir them
selves"

browns HIS FOUR CHILDREN.
The Horrible Crime of a st. Paul Man
Suicide Follows.

st. Paul, Mimi, May "A partial
confirmation of the police suspicion
that William Rosinfield drowned his
four children and himself one week ago
in the Mississippi river vas obtained
today when the body of the 9-year-old
Rosenfield boy was taken from the
river near Fort Smelling.
Rosenfieid is alleged to nave abduct-
ed the children, who were in the Gus
tody Of their mother at Minneapolis,
secured a rig and drove with them to
the river where all are supposed to
have been drowned. The father is sup
posed to have committed suicide also
by throwing himself w the bridge.
Their disappearance one week ago
last night was an unsolved mystery
until a Waterman found the body Of
a boy floating in the Mississippi.
Rosenfield had for some time been
separated from his wife. who has been
living in Minneapolis, while he lived in
St. Paul. A week g he hired a ar-
riage and got his children from the
relative who was keeping them. He
tried to prevail on his wife to accom-
pany them, but she refused. The next
morning the horse was found near the
Marshall avenue bridge, all trace of
the occupants Of the carriage having
disappeared until today.

This Part OF the Budget Discussed II
House OF Commons.

London. Nay 2.-There was {. large
attendance in the Of m
today in anticipation of the discussion
of h new export tax on coal. The
government issued an urgent whip
t the unionist members, who are
largely pledged to vote against the tax.
The government took strong precau-
tons to secure a majority.
The full house and galleries had to
wait until nearly 6 o'clock for the be-
ginning of the debate. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt QiberaD led with a
severe, almost violent arraignment of
the government. He said the tax would
throw the coal trade into chaos and
confusion. 1t recklessly disregarded
existing contracts and was a most un-
businesslike way of dealing with a
great trade. 1t was an extraordinary
and yexatious piece Of bungling. 1t
was nonsense to say the foreigner
would pay the tax because he could
not do without coal. The government
Of Italy had answered that plea by
taking coal from America instead of
this country. he trade of France
was equally divided between this coun-
try Germany and Belgium.
The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, interrupting,
said: I'VE are beating the others"
Then go on beating Them" a Sir
William Vernon-Harcourt; why throw
a shilling into the scale against this
country"
The chancellor of the exchequer ad-
mitted that the tax, like every tax, was
an obstruction to trade. The real ques-
ton was, could the export trade in
coal bear the tax? 1t could. English
coal was of so good a quality, there
was much of it, and it could not be got
in any other country. Thus to a large
extent it was free from competition"
The chancellor submitted masses Of
statistics which he summarized as
showing that 225, 900, 900 ons were min
ed in 1900, which, after deducting e18,-
0G0, 900 in wages more than in 1897, left
the Goa owners a net profit of G29, 0OO.-
600 on a capital of G110, 900, 900. He a
some difficulty in keeping his patience
when Populations talked to him about
the improbable condition of trade. He
had not proposed the tax for merely
one year, and it would be on those who
were able to bear it.
AS to the competition of the United
States Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said:
Last year the price of our coal at the
port of export was very much higher
than the price of coal in the United
States, but in spite of that u export
of coal was IS, OO0, 900 tons"

to be a genuine case Of smallpox has
undoubtedly proven to have been only
a case of ivy or other poisoning.

ART OF TWISTING STICKS.
In Japan u Ranks as a Science-Art
of Arranging Flowers
Minor Detail.

The chief difference between the
arrangement of flowers in this coun-
try and in Japan is TIT whereas
in this country the at is merely
considered as a pretty accomplish
ment for gentlewonen, in Japan it
ranks as a science and philosophy,
which can only be mastered after
several years of close study, says
Pearson's Magazine.
Far from being only practiced by
ladies, this pretty Japanese art has
among its deyotees princes. scholars
and other prominent men, who, hay
ing retired from the cares of political
life, are in search of a hobby which
will afford not only amusement, but
will also offer intricacies and OBJ
stacles worthy of their trained
minds.
All cultured people in Japan are
proficient i'm the science, just as the
better classes among western nations
cultivate taste in dress or in the ar
tiStic arrangement of their household
goods.
The Japanese term for a flower
hana--also implies a hloSsom-clad
stem. and even the StumpS or branch
es of howerless trees and shrubs, and
their science of flower arrangement
consists not only in grouping the
flowers, but more particularly in
grouping their leaves and twigs ac-
cording to prescribed formula. The
blossom is looked upon as a minor
detail in the artistic composition. and
of very small value if separated from
the parent stem, whose sweeping
though artificial curves emphasize its
beauty The whole science is. there
fore, reduced to obtaining curves
which, though really distorted, have
the appearance of being true TO ma
