HOPE HE WILL CLEAR HIMSELF

WhitcVille Press.
We had hoped that his vindication
would be clear and conclusive, but there
are several weak points in his reply.
We have always been an admirer of
Judge Clark's ability and shall hope
tha. he viii clear himself of all imputa :
tions. There are strong interests at
work against him which accounts for
the vehemency of the charges.

CONSUL BRAGG DENIES 1T.
Cubans Angry Over an Alleged Re
Fiction on Them

A special 10 the New York Herald from
Havana, Cuba, yesterday says: Consul Gen
era Edward S. Bragg says the publication
OF an alleged statement by him in a letter
to his wife that Uncle Sam might as well
try to make a whistle out of a pigs tail
as try TO make something out of the Latin
race" was wholly unwarranted. He has
telegraphed TO the State Department that
he was not accurately quoted.
What General Bragg said was that when
Uncle Sam got through trying to make a
whistle out of pigs toll he would report
whether he could make an AngIo-Saxon
out of Cuban. He wrote this in a prt-
Fate personal letter to his wife without ex-
pectation of its publication. AS a public
of1cer in the consular service of the United
States, General Bragg said he would not
authorize any such statement for publica-
ton. What he thinks of Cuba and the Gu
bans he will report to the appointing power
in Washington.
Cubans here are inclined to accent Cen
eral Braggs statement that he was not
quoted correctly
The general has not been here long
enough 10 form an intelligent and adequate
opinion either Of the Cuban people or of
me political or economical situation of the
islands, said a representative man.
While General Bragg's alleged statement
mas not yet attained the proportions of an
international diplomatic incident Ell Mum
do. strong pro-Cuban paper, says:
The American consurs statement is an
Insult to Cubans. He does not believe In
the practicability of the new republic Civ
Aizing US Is not the same as making
whistles out of pigs tails The consul 5
statement Is deprecative of the Cuban peo-
pie. He would rather live in Mexico than
Cuba. The language used Is hardly choice.
he says We are a rabble. Such declarations
IAN to do credit to the consul, and 1t is
believed they will result in relieving him
They will cost him his post"
NO action contemplating the recall of
General Bragg has yet been taken by the
Cuban government.
A dispatch from Fond du Lac. Wis, yes
terday stated that Mrs. E. s. Bragg had
received a letter from her husband the
consul general at Havana, in which he Is
quoted as saying he is pleased with his Of

Priest Takes Out a Patent.

A Baltimore. Nd. dispatch says: Father
Henry s. Nagengast of this city has been
granted patent on a device to be used as
an aid to the rite OF the blessing of the
throat This ceremony occurs annually In
all Catholic churches on the third Sunday
IN February, its object being to secure the
person blessed protection from diseases Of
the throat.
In administering this Office the priest
noids two lighted candles against the throat
of the petitioner. The flames from the
candles often SINCE the hair and, in some
cases. set fire to the veil or hat Of women
receiving the blessing. The grease from
the candles falls upon vestment or clothing
rather Nasengast's device is a combined
shield for the candles and a drip-pan to
catch the grease. It eliminates the elements
OF danger and discomfort to the ceremony
Cardinal Gibbons has sanctioned the use of
the little invention IN the churches Of this
diocese.

AUTUMN MANEUVERS.
District Militia Invited to Send Repre-
sentatives to Fort Riley

General H. c. Corbin, adjutant general of
the United States army, has written to the
District Commissioners extending an invita-
ton to them as the governing body Of the
District of Columbia, to assign a portion
of the District militia, or to detail an Off
GER to participate in the autumn maneuvers
on the government reservation at Fort
Riley, Kansas, about the end of September.
The letter will be referred to General Geo.
H Harries, the commanding officer Of the
District militia, for his action. General Cor
bin says:
THE department contemplates having
autumn maneuvers on the government
reservation at Fort Riley, Kansas, about
the end Of September. 1t is intended to
division of nine regiments Of infantry, and
as many more can be induced to partici-
pate. from the different states. The cavalry
and artillery contingents will be furnished
by the regular army and not less than three
regiments of infantry.
The Secretary Of War regrets that the
legislation known as the Dick militia bill
did not reach the Senate in time for action
before adjournment of the last session and
the department will not be able, this year.
to give that assistance to the militia regi-
ments participating in the maneuvers which
We had hoped to extend to them; however,
1t is thought that the great good to come
from such joint maneuvers may prove
sufficient inducement to the states, particu-
larly those in the immediate vicinity or
within easy communication Of Fort Riley
to have portion Of their organized militia
mobilize at that point instead of in their
usual encampments.
The Secretary of War desires to extend
to you the invitation to assign such portion
Of your troops as can be arranged for with
the understanding that the United States
cannot. at the present time, pay any of the
expenses Of the movement, but that the
quartermasters, subsistence, medical and
other staff departments will be directed to
furnish at regulation price any subsistence
or other articles which may be required for
use of these organizations during the ma
neuvers. In case no organized bodies can
be designated to participate in the ma
neuvers the Secretary would be plased to
have an officer detailed to attend the pro-
posed exercises, in the hope that his obser-
walton may lead to increased interest here
after.
You are requested to notify the adjutant
general of the army whether or not this
invitation is accepted by you, and, If So
what contingent of your organized militia
will participate in the maneuvers, SO that
detailed information may be given as to
what equipments staff officers, ETC., will be
required. 1t is intended that these ma
neuvers shall extend over a period not ex-
ceeding ten days. A prompt reply is re-
QueSted."

CALLS CLEVELAND DEsERTER.
Sharp Letter From W. ]. Bryan to Til
den Club

The New York World of today says: Off
GERS of the Tilden Club have received from
William Jennings Bryan his explanation
why he did not acknowledge his invitation
to the harmony dinner
Mr.. Bryan takes occasion to denounce ex-
President Cleveland, the principal speaker
at the dinner, as a deserter, and says that
he cannot understand why Cleveland should
be an honored guest at political dinner
given by a democratic club. Mr.. Bryan's
letter in full is as follows:
LINCOLN, Neb., July 8.
Secretary of the Tilden Club:
Dear Sir: Through the oversight Of a
clerk In my office, did not see the invita-
ton sent by your club, and did not know
until last Wednesday that one had been re-
ceived. On that day l received a telegram
from my secretary addressed to me at
Aberdeen, s. D., saying that such a COM
munication had been found
i regret exceedingly that 1t did not come
TO me before the time, for, while l would
not nave thought proper to accept, would
have acknowledged the courtesy and given
my reason for declining.
When Mr.. Cleveland left the democratic
party in 1896 L recognized his right to do
so, and did not criticise his decision, al
though as the party candidate l was COM
PEELED to bear the odium which his admins
tration had brought upon the party-an
odium which had already led to a more dis
astrouS defeat than any since experienced.
He has never yet indicated his intention
to return to the democratic party, and his
business interests are such as to make his
return improbable. Until he does manifest
some respect for democratic principles and
policies, do not understand why he should
be an honored guest at political dinner
given by a democratic club.
Having thrown his influence to the re-
publican party in two campaigns, he is
hardly in position to advise the party
which he abandoned-or. as he expressed
IL, 'banished' him.
L am anxious to see the party grow in
numbers and strength. but 1t is absurd to
expect this result to follow an attempt on
the part of deserters to turn the party over
to the control Of those who find the society
OF republicans more congenial than the
society Of those who believe in the plat
forms adopted in 1896 and 1900
Harmony is only possible between those
who desire the triumph Of the same princi-
pies and policies. and it Is quite evident
that Mr.. Cleveland's supporters are nearer
to the republican than the democratic
party. Yours truly, w. ]. BRYAN"
None of the officers of the Tilden Club
would discuss Mr.. BryanS reply last night.
