REPUBLIC
MUST Be A
SUCCESS
So William J. Bryan and United
States Senators Say as
TO Cuba.

Havana, May 22.--The illumination OF
this city last night was probably never
surpassed in an American city. The
facades OF the hotels and lines Of the
arches were picked out in electric lights,
Japanese lanterns swung from living
trees I'm the parks, colored lanterns of
ancient design glowed above the door OF
every residence and the driveway lead
ing to the ocean front was rooted with
myriad Of colored globes.
The features OF the fireworks display
from the forts across the bay were an
immense Cuban flag. which rose in the
heavens and noated over the city, and
portraits OF President Palma. Gen. Co
mez, Gen. Marti and other Cuban he
roes.
Significant OF the acquaintance Of the
wealthy Spaniards in the new govern
ment was the fact that a Cuban flag was
hoisted over the casino by the side OF
the banner Of Spain.
The general festivities were resumed
at dawn.
At o'clock the foundation stone of
the triumphal arch commemorating the
Inauguration OF the Cuban republic was
laid. with appropriate exercises, on In
dependence avenue by the cirou 10 Mac
tional.
This afternoon the theatres were
thrown open and free performances were
given.
w. j. Bryan and the United States
senatorial contingent sailed for Key
West this morning. They were all more
impressed with the chances OF the en-
durance OF the republic than when they
came here. Mr.. Bryan said there was
no reason why the republic should not
be "a success.

HARTMAN AND GOULD INTERESTS
DUE TO COLLIDE
Struggle for TranscOntinentaI Traf-
fic Likely to Lead to Exciting
Developments ON the
Pacific Coast.


10 AhO OIODes
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE Gould and
Hartman interests are engaged in a
struggle for transcontinental traffic
which will test to its uttermost the
strength of the community of interests.
Meetings between the two interests have
been in progress in New York for more
than week and there seems to be little
prospect of their getting together in the
near future. Owing to this fact the ex-
ecutiye officials of the Colorado and Utah
lines We're unable to settle their differ
ences in meetings held here and adjourn
ed from day to day during the present
week
Through their possession Of the Rio
Grande roads the Goulds are laying claim
to a large percentage OF the through
traffic from the coast Should the Harri-
man people refuse to turn over to the
Gould connections the amount of traffic
the Goulds think they are entitled to,
likely rate cutting probably would be the
result. 1t is understood that refusal on
the part of the Goulds would mean an
alliance between the latter and Senator
Clark, who would be able to give them
a Pacific coast outlet by the way of the
projected Los Angeles-Salt Lake City
line.
The situation IS further complicated by
the fact that the Northern Pacific in
terests have announced their intention
of building a Portland cutoff from Mis-
soula, Mont, through the Clearwater
district thereby tapping rich territory OF
the Oregon Railroad Navigation company
and the Oregon Short Line.
A line from Ogden to a connection with
the proisated Clearwater branch of the
Northern Pacific is anItng the 9ogsiblIl-
ties of failure Of the Goulds and the
Hartman people to agree.
The Missoula cutoff will shorten the
Northern Pacific st. Paul-Portland nne
by over 400 miles.
=. C. Stubbs said today that there was
no agreement to refrain from building
into each others territory between the
Hartman and Hill interests OF a char
acter which would be violated by the
construction OF the Mssoula CUTOFF.

when some newspaper men asked me
today if the fair would be postponed and
L made negative reply, l was asked if
we could not prepare better fair in 1904
than in 1903. I replied yes, and so can
we prepare better fair for 2O04 than
