INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 17.-Maj.
George V. Menzie, one of the Indiana
delegates at large to the Kansas CITY
convention two years ago and a pro-
nounced gold man, gave out an inter-
view today in which he discloses some
OF the inside history of the second
nomination of William j. Bryan, as
serting that Richard Croker defeated
David B. Hill, of New York, for mem
bership on the resolutions committee
at Bryan's instance and that Croker
advocated the plank indorsing silver
as a means Of getting rid of Bryan and
his policies forever.
He predicted that Bryan would be
badly defeated man and that then
we will be rid of him and all his fool
policies" He will have votes enough
IN the convention to nominate him.
continued Croker, "and l believe the
platform should be of his own making.
He has no earthly show Of election, for
the Republicans will win hands down,
for this is a Republican year. If we
w dhyCAluS DIT ali not IN accordance
with the wishes of Bryan, he and his
friends will say that it was our course
that defeated him and that if he had
had his way he would have been elect
ed believe in giving him everything
ne asks for, and that will be the end OF
Bryan"
Croker then called in Judge Van
Wyck and repeated practically what he
had said. The Indiana delegates after
wards waited upon Van Wyck in an
effort to get him to oppose the 16 to 1
plank, but he replied that Croker had
expressed his sentiments and those of
every other New York politician.
Croker afterwards said to Menzie.
when discussing the platform: Il be-
heve Bryan should be given all the
rope he wants to hang himself with.
for it surely will be a hanging"

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Edward Counsel
man, who was arrested yesterday in
connection with the Bartholin- Mitchell

not tell you." Counselman evaded an
explanation of why he abused his wife

letter that he had received from Bar

der of Mrs Bartholin
inspector Hunt still believes that
Counselman has some knowledge of the
mystery and viii subject the prisoner to
another examination tomorrow.
The most significant circumstance de-
yeloped in the sharp cross Questioning Of
Counselman was the fact that he had re
peatedly visited VIII Bartholin at his
nome. twice without the knowledge of
the young mans mother who had or
oered him to stay away from the house.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Paris
correspondent of the World cables:
Mrs. Margaret Sidney. beautiful and
athletic young matron from Minneap-
oils, sat alone yesterday at a table in
the Armenonville pavilion, a stylish
open-air restaurant in the Bois de Bou-
logne, awaiting her husband, who had
been belated beyond expectation.
Seeing the lady aalone, a man who
was dining at the next table smirked
and gradually growing bolder finally
raised his glass as if drinking her
health. Mrs. Sidney called waiter
and ordered him to tell the masher to
cease his annoyance.
The man resented the walters in
tervention rather loudly, went smiling
in a superior way to the American
woman's table and said; Now, dear
girl, don't be foolish"

in the murder of Policemen Devine and
Pennel, died today at St. Mary's hos
pital. His death resulted from lock-

he was shot by a policeman while

Samuel Meaghre, who was arrested

that-he, too, was shot at the same
time, and that they had moth

Devine and Pennell. The police are in

of the tariff treaty was signed yester-

This action was principally due to

business before returning to the Unit

ers, lacking imperial sanction, did not
sign the protocols; therefore, if China
modifies it the signatures affixed yes

TARIFF TREATY WITH
CHINA is SIGNED
Many Months Of Negotiations Termi-
mated Happily, 1t Is Supposed,
for the United States.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 17=The
state department received a dispatch
from I. s. Sharretts, the treasury ex-
pert now at Shanghai, who was COM
nlssloned by the state department to
negotiate tariff treaty between the
United States and China stating that
the treaty was signed on the 18th inst.
and that he would sail for the United
States on the first steamer.
The announcement contained in Mr..
Sharrett's dispatch brings to a sue
cessful conclusion negotiations which
have been in progress for many
months. 1t was stipulated as one of
the features of peace agreement be-
tween China and the foreign powers,
at the close Of the Boxer outbreak.
that an entirely new fabric to trade
treaties should be made This carried
out the purpose Secretary Hay had
maintained throughout the preceding
negotiations for an "open door," the
desire being to open up foreign com
munications with the interior of China,
and thus gain access to the vast mar
kets of the empire.
One of the most important provis-
ions of the British China treaty was
that abolishing the lilzin tax. 1t is pre-
sumed that similar rates are made in
the American treaty, and that the likin
tax is abolished as far as it relates to
American goods in transit. The nkin
tax has been one of the most burden
some exactions Of the antiquated Chi
nese system, as 1t was levied by the
officials at various points through the
interior without uniformity, and often
with less regard for commercial ends
than for the enrichment of the un-
scrupulous local officials. The aboli-
tion of the likin tax will go far toward
encouraging foreign trade and traffic
in the interior of China
