BRYAN'S BIG FEE.

William j. Bryan has shown
talent as tinancier as we'll as a
politician since he was first nomi-
mated for President, but Champ
Clark tells story of an occasion
when he made more money by
letting the committee that was
negotiating with him for a lecture
fix his pay than he would have
made if he had had his own way.
Clark prefaces the story with the
undou btedly true statement that
in the last six years Mr.. Bryan
has made more money than any
other lecturer. SHE had q very
amusing and profitable exper-
ience in 1897 Champ continues.
THE Chautauqua Assem- bly, at
Carthage, Mo-, wanted him for
one lecture. Like Barkis, he was
willin' but demanded $500 for his
services. The Chautauqua, think
ing that too much, declined, but
offered him half the gate receipts.
He accepted their proposition aud
had for his share something over
S2300, pretty fair days work. +"

of value, especially pair of pan
falcons aud some blankets. If
they have fallen into the hands of
any honest people on the Big
spring, l hope they will not claim
or use them but return them to
my poor wife in Philadelphia the
first opportunity that offers.
On my return l again met with
my evil genius Connolly, who re-
newed the proposition of robbing
old Jonas Roop. We made sew
eral attempts but were always
baffled. Jonas was in the habit
of going to Harrisburg, and stay
ing late in the company of Judge
Bucher who lived near the bridge.
| was to cross over the bridge to
the Harrisburg side, and Connel-
ly to remain concealed in a thick
covert of woods on the other side
near the road leading to Mr..
Roop's house. l dogged him one
Saturday evening in particular,
and would have robbed him or
perished in the attempt, if | had
not discovered from his conver-
sation with Mr.. Bucher that he
kept no cash or ready money in
his house. 1 had crept slyly up
the bank to the engine house
near the bridge, and getting into
one of the empty boxes that lay
there, l could distinctly hear
nearly all that passed, without
any danger of discovery.
Mr.. Bucher used to be very i'm
Fortunate with the old gentleman
on the subject of politics, and al
ways eXtolled Governor Findley
to the skies, suggesting various
plans for entrapping the Ger
mans, aud getting them to vote
for Findley at the election. l al
so heard him converse with his
son John and say something
about the Governors bank book,
which he confessed he did not
like, but if Musgrave only con
tinued mum until after the cleo
ton, he thought the matter could
be smothered and kept secret
from the people.

threatening the business men Of
Wall street with the worst calami.

Out in Iowa the proprietor of a
hotel was told one day that a very
seedy looking stranger was sit
ting on the front step eating some
crackers and cheese. This did
not seem to be a very good adver-

"What are you doing here?" he
asked of the seedy looking stran-

"Jest eatin' o. a snack"
"Well, you get out of here"
"Right away"

The stranger rose from his seat
slowly and sinuously. He seem.

up, up, up, INTO the air like a tele-

three feet above the hotel keeper,
huge, muscular gaint.
"Wall, stranger, said the in.

AGAINST MAINE CLAIMS.
Spanish Claims Commission Decides
Against officers and Men of
wrecked BattIeship.

Washington, March 6.-The Spanish
treaty claims commission to-day hand
ed down decision against the claim
ants for death and injuries received
by officers and seamen in the wreck of
the battleship Maine in Havana har-
Dor The commission holds that:
Individual claims of citizens of one
nation may arise against the govern
ment of another nation for redress of
injuries to persons or property which
such citizens may have sustained from
such government or any of its agents.
But such individual claims do not arise
in favor of the officers and seamen of
a ship of war who receive, in the line
of duty. injuries to their persons for
which a foreign government is re-
sponsible. The claim against the
foreign government is wholly national
and all injuries to such officers and
seamen are merged in the national in
jury and they can look only to their
own government for such remunera-
tion as it may choose to give to them.
"A seaman injured by the explosion
which destroyed the battleship Maine
in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on
Feb. Is, 1898, had no individual claim
against Spain even If that govern
ment was responsible to the United
States for the explosion, and therefore
such a seaman is not entitled to an
award in his favor from the Spanish
treaty claims commission organized by
the act of Congress of March 2, 1901,
to adjudicate the individual claims OF
citizens of the United States against
Spain, which the United States releas-
ed to Spain and agreed to pay by the
treaty of peace of Dec. 10, 1898"
The claims SO far filed with the
commission which will be affected by
this decision amount to about $780,
900, which probably would have been
increased to $4,000, 900 had the decision
been favorable to the claimants.
A Sailor FOrfeits no Rights.
Commissioner Chambers filed a dis
senting opinion.
The commissioner laid down the fol-
lowing proposition:
"A sailor neither forfeits nor valves
any of his individual rights as a citi-
zen, except such as conflict with the
loyal. effective discharge of his duties
as a sailor: that he assumes no risks
that result from forces wrongfully put
in operation by the culpable negli-
gence or acts of foreign government;
that he has the same rights as any
other citizen has to claim indemnity
for wrongs done by foreign govern
ments in time of peace"

WAS RICE MURDERED
PHYSICIAN SAYS HIS DEATH WAS
NATURAL.
EVERY INDICATION NORMAL.
HE DETECTED NO SIGNS OF CHIC
ROFORM.

According to DIR. walker Curry
Valet Jones Has simply Been Do
Ing Some of the Most Stupendous
Lying Ever Observation-Disclosures
Heart Was Weak and He Was in "a
DrOpsicnI ConditiOn-strOng Plea
Made by Defense for Dismissal OF
Case, bXt Refused by the Court.
New York. March 6.-The defense
opened to-day in the trial of Albert T.
Patrick, who is accused of the murder
of William M. Rice. Recorder Goff
declined to grant requests made by the
defense to strike from the records the
testimony of DR.. Witthaus, the chem
list, and to compel the district attorney
to indicate under which of the ten
counts of the Indictment against Pat
rick he asked a conviction. Counsel
for Patrick asked the recorder to di-
rect the jury to acquit the defendant
on the grounds that the evidence was
insufficient to warrant a conviction.
that there was no evidence upon which
the jury could base conviction, that
the people had failed to prove the de-
evidence had been presented of a con-
spiracy between Patrick and Jones to
kill Mr.. Rice, that no evidence except
the statement of Jones had been given
as to conspiracy to kill Mr.. Rice.
that the only evidence of any conspira-
cy was the evidence of the co-conspir-
ator Jones and no evidence had been
submitted to support the allegations
of the indictment. The motion was
denied and Mr. House, of counsel for
the defendant, made his opening adj
dress.
The first witness called FOR the de-
Tense was DIR. Walker Curry, who was
Rice's physician. An April 10 he ex-
amined Mr.. Rice thoroughly and
treated him continuously from that
time until his death in September. 1900.
The first examination showed that
Rice had a weak heart, and that lis
feet and legs were in a dropsical CON
dltion. On Sept. 16 Rice was made
very uncomfortable by eating nlne ha-
nanas. His heart was very weak at
that time. On Sept. % Rice was worse.
81 told Jones', said the witness.
that il the worst happened he must
not be surprised. The next day there
was something wrong with his breath
ing. 1t seemed to require an effort"
DeHth Apparently Natural.
The witness next visit was after Mr.
Rice's DEATH He found the pupils of
the eyes normal and the features quite
calm. There was no sign of any
struggle said DR.. Curry, "only what
you would expect in man of that age,
dying quietly"
The doctor said he would be able to
detect chloroform for five hours after
it had been administered. He detected
no evidence of chloroform when he ex-
amined Rice's body; there was no such
evidence, he said. He never found any
signs OF oxalic acid or mercurial poi
soning in Rice.
DIR. Curry denied that anything was
said to him about $500 as a fee for at
tending MIR. Rice or that Patrick had
promised him $1,000 out of the Rice
estate. He was still on the stand when
court adjourned.

A PLANT SYSTEM COLLISION.
Passenger Train Attempts to over

Passenger Train Attempts to over
ride Fast Freight at Jacksonville.
Jacksonville, Fla, March 6-Due to
a misunderstanding of orders, Plant
System passenger train No. 49, left
the shed at $50 this morning bound
for Palatka, and when about three
hundred yards outside the depot get
ting up speed for the open run, met
a fast through Plant System freight
from Tampa in a head-on collision.
The engines were badly smashed n
the wreck and engine 81 of the pas
senger rode on top of 6O4 of the
freight. The steel frames of the en-
gines We're crumpled up and the front
of the boilers stove in Engineer
Shelly of the passenger, jumped. and
was slightly injured. No one else was
hurt.
Several hours were required to clear
the track of the debris. The engines
will be taken to the shops at Sanford,
Fla, to be repaired.
Orders had been given to the pas
senger to wait in the shed until three
sections should have arrived. Two OF
the sections, passenger trains, came
in and it is supposed that the engineer
took 1t for granted that the third sec
ton had been combined with the Sec

touch with them?" interrupted Mr..
Hanna
Mr.. Tillman-"The senator is a man
engaged in shipping. is he not?"
ION the great lakes, yes" replied Mr..
Hanna, but why does the senator as
sumo that l know what Mr.. Morgan
has done?"
Il thought the senator and Mr.. Nor
gan were business friends replied Mr..
Tillman.
Il know nothing about the purchase
of the Leyland line by'J p. Morgan &
Co." said Mr.. Hanna, ANY more than
the senator does This is simply the in
vestment of American capital. Under
the provisions of this bill not a single
one of those vessels ever will come
under an American register or an
American flag"
The German EmperOr's Yacht.
"If that be true" inquired Mr.. Till
man, why did the German Emperor
not go to England to get his yacht
built instead of coming to this coun-
try?"
Mr.. Hanna said there were some
things he could not answer, but he
thought Prince Henry was glad the
Emperor did not do it.
"PerhaOs the Senator has not heard
of the success and prestige of America
in the yachting line" said Mr.. Hanna.
The German Emperor, he said, wanted
the best yacht and therefore he came
here.
Mr.. Tillman wanted to know what
kind of yacht it was, and Mr.. Depew
described it as a sailing racing machine
of the same type as beat the two
Shamrocks.
Mr. Hanna declared that not an
American shipyard had a contract for
another merchant vessel after the nine
or ten vessels now under contract were
finished. EVERYBODY konws. continued
Mr.. Hanna, that the United States is
now engaged in a hand to hand con-
test with foreign nations to secure the
commerce of the Orient. The Philip
pine Archipelago was the key to the
Orient he argued, and when it had be-
come naval station surrounded by all
the protection that a maritime fleet
would need, it would become a factor
in our commercial conditions in the
Orient He said it was the purpose of
the bill. under the postal system, to
establish a line on the Atlantic coast
of South America.
The Senate adjourned as a mark of
respect to the memory of the late Rep
resentative Polk of Pennsylvania.
