WAR PRACTICE BEGINS.
The German Contending Armies
Now Hard at Work in a Way That
Approaches the Real Thing.

Now Hard at Work in "a Way That
Approaches the Real Thing.
Frankfort Oder, Sept. 9.-The war
maneuvers began to-day. A peaceful
and sunlit spread of country to the
west of here was covered by parties
of cavalry searching the hollows and
the woods for the supposed
enemy. or seeking to catch glimpses
of him from the ridges, by batteries
galloping into action through wheat
fields and beet patches, and by long
lines of rif1emen advancing along a L.
mile front. Sausage-s shaped war ball
looms swung nigh in the air. and there
were many other signs of warlike ac-
tivity. The artillery of which the in
vading reds and the defensive blues
have each about 100 pieces, came into
action, and there were sounds of ir-
regular firing along the far extended
fronts.
To-day was spent by the contending
armies in playing for positions. 1t was
an artillery duel with occasional
brushes between cavalry. The infar-
try never got into action. The German
army of defense captured one gun from
the Russians, but this was Immediate
ly retaken by the invaders. A cavalry
detachment of the blues fell into the
hands of the invaders, who at the end
of the day had gained the superior 20
sition and were ready to push forward
Emperor William, as umpire of the
meneuvers, visited both sides The
foreign guests were attached to the
reds, or the invading Russians and
when Emperor William was on that
side he was usually surrounded by n
group of foreign officers in rich uni
forms. The American visitors. Gems
Corbin, Young and Wood, wore the
new drab fatigue uniforms of the
United States army, which, among so
many brilliant and highly colored uni
forms, were quite distinctive. The EN-
peror looked the American officers over
closely, and told Gen Corbin he
thought their uniforms sensible and
in good taste" He took Gen. Young
with him on a trip onside the lines of
the blues, and his bearing towards the
Americans in every way was most
| kind,

FOrecasted for To-day


Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 9.-Present

the control of the next state Republi-

uled to open at noon to-day, has not
assembled, and tonight it appears that
the gathering will not occur until to-

Texas, and committee work along this
line has occupied the entire afternoon
and several hours tonight

Craftsmanship is being bitterly waged
by National Committeeman B. B.
Hawley and Cecil Lyons. There are
many anti-local optionist delegates in

a plank in the platform in accordance
with their views. They claim that
with such plank the party can make
great inroads in the usual Democratic
majorities in several counties in the
state.

1t was time to take the tariff off at
last all kinds of trust-maie
goods. The country, he said.
could not look to the Republicans for
reforms in tariff matters, adding that
there were more righteous men in Sod
ON and Gomorrah than there are tariff
reformers in the Republican party.
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Bryan said,
had no remedy for the trust evil, and
some of his utterances on the subject
were absurd.
Continuing, Mr.. Bryan said:
Il tell you one trust magnate in
stripes, behind the prison walls, would
do more to break up trusts than all
the speeches the President can make.
The constitutional amendment the Re-
publicans are talking about is not
meant for the regulation of trusts, but
to take the power to control trusts
away from the states and so protect
the trusts"

TROLLEY VS.. RAILROADS.
Lowering Of Fares Pretty Sure to Re
suit From the Contest.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The New York Central road finds itself
involved in a contest which, before long,
unless the signs of the times fail, will be
common experience to most railroads in
the Tricky populated east. An electric troll
ley line has been projected between Buffalo
and Rochester. The purpose of establish
Ing rates a little less than one-half those
charged by the steam roads having been
announced. the Central road meets the stu
alton by taking steps to increase the service
between the two points and lowering its
rates. The Central is wise in thus so
promptly meeting a situation which threat
ems every railroad running in and out of
large city. Competing trolley lines are
projected to parallel most Of the suburban
lines Of steam railroads, and though by
communication tickets the steam railroads
are carrying passengers at the rate of six
mills mile, they are likely to meet the
competition OF even lower rate.
Steam railroads., granting so low a COM
mutation rate, have looked to transients at
the full rate Of two or three cents a mile
70 average up the receipts Thus. where
the suburban commuter pays 10 cents for
his trip to the city the transient has paid
% cents. What makes the trolley compe-
t1tion feared Is the competition as to the
translents Where steam road charges
30 cents for a single fare the trolley charges
10 cents, and Is in a position to sell trim
tickets for a much lower sum. Over In
New Jersey trolley line now under con-
struction Is pushing its way parallel to a.
steam road. which is. in way the pioneer
Of serious competition to those railroads
which empty into New York thousands and
tens Of thousands every morning At pres

road but under such conditions that it's in.

be well judged. 1t Is promised by the troll

the story. And by all trolley and steam
road authorities the result is being anxious
