NO CROWDS FOLLOW
MR. BRYAN IS NO LONGER A
 ESTIMATION,
Newspaper Men Do Not Seek Hisj Views on Matters Political as They Were Wont in the
 Days of Fore.

Washington. April i4.--tspecial )-Lasi winter Col. William !. Bryan visited Washington and called upon friends a, either end of the Capitol while Congress was in session.
 It was noted at the time that his com Ing and going was without sensation. He has again been In Washington, this time to speak at the Thomas Jefferson anni- versary banquet. It Is little singular but 1t is a fact that not a newspaper man sought Mir. Bryan on this occasion of his visit for his views on politics, men and measures. Perhaps 1t is partly ex- piained in the remark of former Bryan follower made today:
 We got his views, anyhow, in The Commoner,'' he said.
 But the Jefferson banquet was made severely non-partisan, and MT. Bryan's speech on the occasion is said to have been rigidly respectful of that under. standing.
 Again Mir. Bryan. twice candidate for President, has come to the National Cap ital and gone away, and here in Wash ington. where there used to be crowds who ,foilowed him about and hung upon his words he comes and goes about the streets and places of public gatherings drawing Ito his side no more semblance of a crowd thar any average visitor.
 MT. Bryan spent today !n the city.

TEN REPORTED DEAD
HuMoR OF sEvERE,sToRM NEAR
 EvERGREEN.
Numerous Residences, Barns and Out Houses Swept Away-Mea- gre Information as to the
 Casualties and Prop
 erty Damage.

Birmingham, Ala, April t.-Specials to the Age Herald from Evergreen, Ala. say:
 News has just reached here by eele- phone confirming the riimors of appalling loss of life and property in the neighbor- bod of Peterman and B~rnt Corn. wrought by the tornado which passed near there yesterday
 Ten persons are known to have been killed and numerous barns. residences, fences and outhouses were swept away. entailing a loss which will reach high in the thousands. On account of the bad condition of the wires. communication Is difficult and the only name that could be obtaied of the dead is Henry Salter, a we'll known planter.
 Several residences were completely de- molished. the timbers falling on the occu- pants, killing and injuring- all within them. It will probably be several days before a correct list of the casualties can be gotten, as there is no telegraph or railroad connection. The heavy rains have rendered the roads almost impassa- ble.
 Peterman is in Monroe County. just across the line of Conecuh and is not within twenty-five miles of railroad or telegraph station. All news so far re- ceiyed has come over telephone lines which are several miles from the path of the storm.

 New York, April 14.-As a first result of the Northern Securities decision, the pur- chase of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad by the Rock Island. according to semi-off1ciai admissions by. lending of- ficials in both interests. mas been allowed to lapse.

 A leading interest in the Rock Island Company announced today that the pro- posed purchase of the St. Louis and San Francisco road had been abandoned for the present. Negotiations have been dropped, but may be resumed.
 This same authority declares that the failure of the plan has nothing to do with the recent decision in the Northern Securities case. It was simply a case of price. and the parties concerned failed to come to terms.
 Gossip in Wall Street has 1t that those in control of the Frisco asked more cash than the other side saw fit to give.
