SCHURz SCORES BRYAN.

special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Lake George, n. Y, yesterday quotes
Carl SchurZ as saying: Bryan is the evil
genius of his party, the incubus of democ-
racy." Mr.. Schurz made the remark In the

While Mr.. SchurZ, by inference disclaim-
ed the authorship of the recently published
open letter of the anti-imperalIsts to the
President, he did not deny the generally
accepted theory that the document was
penned by Charles Francis Adams of Mas
sachusetts. He said that Mr.. Charles Fran
els Adams, chairman of the committee
that signed the letter, called the meeting
and presided over 1t.
Mr.. Schurz resented the suggestion that
Mr.. Adams was a figurehead and merely
lent his name to the letter to the President

He is the real chairman and leader Of
the committee.

TROUBLE ON THE MAYFLoWER.

The New York World of today says:
Serious trouble has developed on the May
flower, until recently the Presidents official
yacht. She has now been assigned to the
North Atlantic squadron, and the gunboat
Sylph has taken her place for the Presi-
dents use.
Nine desertions from the crew Of the
Mayflower have occurred within a few
days. A member of the crew said yester-
day that not less than seventy men on
board the ship were awaiting a favorable
opportunity, after pay day, to take French
leave" of the vessel
The trouble seems to revolve around the
executive officer of the ship, Lieutenant w.
w. Phelps, who, the men assert, is a hard
taskmaster. Ordinary privileges, it is al
legged, have been curtailed; the men are on
watch eight hours and off four, and when
on watch are kept hustling all the time;
smoking is practically prohibited on board
ship, and shore leave is difficult to obtain
