peared in it's place as the RESPONSIBLE

ter and all questions put to the men

Former Democratic Leader Evades
Questions About Future Issues.


Questions About Future Issues.
Toledo, o., Feb. 24.-William j. Bry-
an was in the city Sunday while en-
route to Columbus to consult with
Ohio democratic leaders tomorrow.
When asked to give his views upon the
Manhattan club meeting at New York
last night he replied:
THE Manhattan Club will have to
support the democratic ticket at least
once before it will take an active part
in sharing the policy of that party. In
the campaign of 1896 the Manhattan
Club marched with a band to the re-
publican headquarters as evidence of its
sympathy with that party in that cam
paign.'
When asked what he thought of
Henry Watterson's opinion that the
question of dealing with trusts would
be the principal plank in the next ma
tional democratic platform Mr.. Bryan
said:
1T will be impossible to write plat
form until issues develop. but it ought
rot to be matter of doubt that demo-
cratic principles will be applied to all
the issues and that the planks VIII be
written by those whose loyalty to the
rarty is not under suspicion"

that struck New York Saturday proved
to be the most severe that has been ex-
perienced for several years. Telegraph

impossible by slush. many OF them pre-
senting the appearance of rivers, the
sewers being incapable Of carrying off
the overflow. Owing to the holiday,
street car traffic was at minimum.
The greatest damage was sustained
in Brooklyn, where scores OF horses
were killed by contact with live wires,

The Brooklyn bridge presented bril-

Island hardly a wire was left standing
and traffic was everywhere suspended.
More than 100 dead horses lay in the
streets. Many of them dropped from
exhaustion and others fell breaking
their legs, and were shot.
The storm did more damage in the
suburbs than in the city. The wind had
full sweep. and in the towns and WILL

Every Precaution Taken to Sc.

gram Today.

Washington, Feb 24-Rarely in its
history has the white house been the
scene of q more brilliant spectacle than
today when President Roosevelt well
coined to the United States Prince
Henry of Prussia.
Ever since the announcement MS
made that the prince would visit this
country as the personal representa-
tive of his brother, the German en-
peror, the president and members of
the administration have taken lively
for his reception. The matter has
been the subject of frequent discus
sion at meetings of the cabinet and the
details of the plans for the entertain
ment and comfort of the royal visi-
tor have constantly been referred to
the president for suggestion or APPROX
al. II has been the presidents hope
that, avoiding all ostentation, the
come. So far as federal authorities
co: -ol in the matter that plan has
been carried out. The prince has met
the president and the welcome he re-
ceived was genuinely hearty and open
handed and he, in turn, showed unmis-
taxable evidence of the pleasure it
gave him to meet the president of the
American people. Nothing could have
been more cordial and ingenious than
the presidents greeting to the German
prince and it was returned in kind
and in full measure. Special prepar-
ations were made at the white house
for this event. All the state apart
ments on the first floor had received
much attention from the government
florists, but the decorations of the
blue room, where the president and
prince met and exchanged their greet
ings. the red parlor occupied by Mrs.
and Miss Roosevelt, and the green
room where there were assembled the
members of the cabinet and their
ladies, were exquisitely beautiful.
