BRxAN AGAINST ooRMAH.
Nebraskan Would Not Support the
 Marylander.

Washington, Sept. 12-(Special)- )-John P. Miller, correspondent in charge of The Baltimore Suns Washington Bureau, who has been for years an intimate friend of Colonel William J. Bryan. has informa- ton that the late Democratic candidate for President will refuse to support Cor man should he be nominated by the party next year.
 MT. Miller writes his paper today as follows:
 Since MT. Bryan has given his indorse- ment to Hon. John H. Clark of Ohio as Democrat worthy to sit in the United States Senate, notwithstanding his refusal to support the Chicago platform. the opinion has been entertained in some quarters that this might be accepted as an indication of a growing disposition to be more tolerant of those who opposed him on account of the money issue.
 Tt appears however, that he has quail fled his attitude only to this extent; that a man who declined to act with the party on account of disapproval of some fea- ture of the platform may still be a Dem- ocrat. If all his sympathies are with the masses and he was not influenced in his course by a purpose to serve the corpo- ratons and captains of capital. whereas man suspected of sympathy with these powers of wealth is not to be trusted. though he may have remained regular and supported the ticket through the two campaigns.
 Tn other words, MT. Bryan takes the position that the motive should be con- sidered. In MT. Germans case, Mir. Bry- an is not willing to accept party regu- Iarity as evidence of worthiness, and he is said to be more favorably disposed to- wards some men who actually bolted the ticket than toward those who maintained a record for regularity merely for regu- larity's sake. While members of the Ma tional Committee actively participating in the campaign insist that MT. German supported the ticket both times, earn estly and without reservation, though not in sympathy with the platform. MT. Bryan declines to regard him as in harmony with the party"
 Mir Bryan's attitude causes consider able irritation among Democrats who cannot see the situation from his point of view and some, more intense In their feeling, declare that he no longer has 1t in his power to influence the course of the party in convention. MT. Miller nev- ertheless, insists that there is an element of Bryan strength even in the Eastern States which is so decided that small though the minority should be. it Is es- sential to success that some regard be paid to their wishes in the choice of candidate. k.

without power to tax you for my benefit.
 'The tariff aids in creating monopolies and Is the basis of all trusts. The trouble is and has been that our people have not yet given to the trust question the seri- ous attention 1t deserves. The inevitable consequence of combinations Is the elim- ination of competition.
 ''The Republicans say that the money question is settled and wish to keep from your minds all reference to 1t. It may and 1t may not be settled, depending upon the point of view from which you look at 1t. The democracy ever has been and ever win be in favor of a stable and sound currency. It Is as much opposed to trust in money as 1t is to a trust in the products of labor. It Is the funda- mental principle of the Democratic party that the money of our party should be under the control of the general govern ment and in quantities sufficient for all practical purposes. Our friends the ene- my are unwilling that the people should control the money but wish corporations and banks so to do.
 Do you fully appreciate that system of statesmanship which wishes to engraft on the law of our country statute permit ting ten dellar bill to be based upon the assets of some defunct bank and is unwilling to have the ten dollar bill based | on the silver bullion of our country? Which asset would you prefer? That of | the bank In the hands of a receiver or silver bullion In the vaults of the United States? Such is the intention of the Fowl
 CT bill. The Aldrich bill Is along the
 same line. but a step in advance. 1 '"The Republicans say they point with
 pride to the course they have pursued in
 the Philippines. The pride they may feel

THE MINNESOTA IDEA.
Val Zant Says it is Obedience to the
 Law

Chicago Sept. 12-The Chicago Press Club gave a banquet tonight to a large number of visiting newspaper men and several distinguished guests. Among the later were Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, ex-Governor Peck of Wisconsin and Gov ernor Van Zant of Minnesota. Speeches were made by these gentlemen and Joseph Medil Mccormick of The Chi cago Tribune, and President Homer C. Carr of the Press Club.
 In the course of his address, Governor Van Zant said: The safety of our coun- try depends upon the enforcement of the law. Public officials can best serve the people by compelling strict obedience to the law, by all classes regardless of sta tion and infunce. When violations of law by powerful corporations or men of great wealth and influence go unchal- ienged. then contempt for law follows, To maintain its dignity and to make forceful and true the saying that Law is no respecter of persons'-should be our individual aim. Belief in the enforce ment of our laws and in the integrity of our courts is our greatest shield against lawlessness and anarchy.
 We hear much these days about the Iowa idea which contempates a revis on of the tariff. We hear much about the Ohio idea, which would not tinker with the tariff. but would let we'll enough

WAR LORD IN HIS GLORY.
Emperior William at the Weisenfels
 Manouvres.

Weisenfels on the Saale, Prussia, Sept. 12.-The army manoeuvres were this year more than ever vast spectacle, affordinS a gorgeous background for Emperor Will liams's massed cavalry attacks and storming of batteries The Emperor turn- ed the working out of the days stratc- gical problem prepared by the general staff into a glorified sham battle that de- lighted many thousands of spectators as- sembled on the elevated grounds.
 The manoeuvres were preceded by four parades. four provincial banquets and the State entry of the Emperor and Empress into Halle for the purpose 1f attending the ceremony of consecrating a church. All these functions were attended by the various sovereigns of the minor German States, like the King of Saxony, the Grand Dukes of Oldenburg and Sake Vel mar and the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and foreign princes such as the Duke of Aosta, of Italy and the Duke of Teck from England. These distinguish ed personages. accompanied the Emperor eevrvwhere and formed a brilliant pie ture when they were grouped about him The value of the manoeuVres. as usual! is again seriously discussed. Every one appears to agree that they have the political result of stimpulating interest in inc army and of propagating mar tial spirit among the Germans.

 E.. 5sion. FIRE ON THE OLYMPIA Crew Had Stolen Barrel Of
 Alcohol. One Had Struck a Match in Order to Obtain a Drink and Explosion Followed-Two Men
 Killed.

Norfolk, Va, Sept R-The explosion Of a barrel of alcohol on the superstructure deck of the cruiser Olympia. in dry dock at the Norfolk navy yard tonight, killed two men, severely injured several others and set fire to the ship.
 The master at arms of the vessel is missing. The dead: Corporal Yerkes, U. s. M. C.; White, seaman, unknown.
 The damage by fire was confined to the deck of the vessel and embraced only the canvas awnings and their fixtures. The decks, however, were slightly injured. Inn mediately after the explosion fire quar- ters were sounded and the crew, navy yards fire department and detachment of marines under Captain Boots. soon uuelled what looked to be a very danger ous blaze.
 Stole Barrel of Alcohol.
 The explosion. according to eye witness es was the direct result of the theft of a barrel of grain alcohol. containing fifty six gallons, by party of sailors This barrel, 1t is said, was taken from one of the storehouses of the yard and remov- ed to dock near the Olympia. There il was broken open.
 Ship Keeper Daily, on board the Olym- pia, detected the odor of the spirit and a search led to the discovery of the barrel which was taken aboard the Olym- pia and placed on the hurricane deck Only a small quantity had been taken by the thieves.
 The incident cerated much excitement and in the confusion the guilty men es- caped. While this was going on Yerkes and the unknown sailor went to the bar rel with the intention, it Is reported, of getting a drink and one of them struck match. The explosion was tnstantan- eous, and both men were enveloped in flames. They perished before hand could be raised to save them.
 Ship Catches Fire. The ship at once caught fire and the blaze, for a while, was stubborn, but was ] finally extfngNished. A search around the ship revealed two marine caps in the bottom of the dry dock, together with the ships parrot. . A letter report from Portsmouth states that a boat was sighted pulling away from the Olympia's vicinity immediately before the explosion and the suspicion is held that the master at arms was foul ly dealt with. The ships company was assembled and the master at arms failed to respond to his name. It is said posi- lively he was not on the ship at the time of the explosion but was near the end of a dock searching for the alcohol thieves. No one was admit. ed to the navy yard and all accounts of the ex- plosion and attendant circumstances were secured from outside sources. The in jured are said to number from four tC seven.

Democratic Candidate for Governor
 Opens His Campaign.

Denlson. Ia. Sept 12.-Jerry B. Sulli- van, Democratic candidate for Governor opened his campaign here today. Cover nor Cummings was taken severely to task for not standing by hls former attitude on the tariff question. MT. Sullivan said in part.
 ''The tariff policy of the United States is a selfish one. Its promoters are men who believe in upbuilding their own for tunes. They are not looking after the interest of the farming and producing class although nearly 70 per cent of the export trade of the United States is the product of agriculture. All tariff laws should be enacted on a strictly revenue basis. Any other theory of levying taxa ton Is contrary to the letter of the con- stitution and to the spirit of free insti- tutions.

 Turks Continues. In the vilayet of Adrianople the Sul- tan Now Has an Enormous

 Growing.
6O,ooo HAVE MET DEATH

Sofia Sept. 12.--With the arrival of new and startling reports of the wholesale massacre of Christians in Macedonia. tha situation is hourly becoming more alarm ing
 If the latest messages, which say that 60,000 Bulgarians have been slaughtered in the districts of Okhrida and Leeren. shall be confirmed, no doubt exists that the government will be forced to order the mobilization of the army immediate ly.
 According to information brought by a courier to the revolutionary paper Auto nomye. force of Albanians. assisted by Turkish regular forces. acting under or ders direct from Yildiz Kiosk. massacred the entire Bulgarian Christian population of the Okriga and Leeren districts. Fear full descriptions are given of the sights seen there, the soldiers slaughtering men. women and children i nevery direction. displaying a barbarism never before witt messed.
 The number of killed is not given in the courier's dispatch. but according to re- ports from other sources the total num- Der of victims will reach 6o.o0o
 To Mobilize Army.
 Official circles are so far without in- formation regarding the reported massa- ere, but in view of the character of the
  the news is only too true. Rumors are current that at a council of the minis ters to-day 1t was decided to mobilize inn- mediately the first and second army di- visions. This Is officially denied. but well informed persons do not doubt that the cabinet, which is meeting in council dailys is seriously considering such a measure. A deputation of leading professors and representatives of the professional classes kA6 ho fuf faft urged the government to order immediate mobilization. Premier Petroff replied to the delegation that the ministry was un- able to admit the necessity for such & step at the present moment. ss | The Turkish government is believed at | the present moment no less than COCO soldiers in the vilayet of Adrianople large
 bodies of them within ten to fifteen kilo- meters of the Bulgarian frontier. Bulgaria Justified.
 Confronted with such situation, 1t Is
 urged Bulgaria would be amply justified
 in mobilizng the first and second army
 divisions, the headquarters of which are | at Sofia and Philiopopolis and which com | prise the forces nearest the Turkish from | tier. The government appears to be firmly | resolved to avoid giving Turkey the | slightest pretext for declaring hostilfties | and is doing its utmost to restrain the | war fever The situation. however, is rap
 idly becoming worse and popular excite | ment is increasing.
 | An engagement is reported to have oc- cured between a force of insurgents and
 Turkish troops at Suchindol. in which not
 single revolutionist was killed while | the Turks lost heavily.
 Telegrams from Burgas say the Bulga-
 rian, population is fast disappearing from
 the district of Losengrad, and that every | one unable to escape to the Bulgarian | frontier is killed.

KAISER AND ARTIST.
Williams Criticism of Herr Kampf's
 "Two Sisters"

Berlin. Sept. 12-The Prusslan cabinet order of Wednesday taking the National Gallery from the control of the Berlin municipality and placing 1t under the Ministry of Public Instruction, is badly received by artists and by the city au- thorities.
 The order Is ascribed to the initiative of Emperor William whose opinion as to what ought to go into the gallery has several times diverged from that of the municipal art commission and Herr von Tschudi, director Of the gallery. For instance, the commission recently bought Kampfs Two sisters of this seasons academy. What the emperor thought of that work is related by Kampr, who as principal commissioner In charge of the academy's exhibit showed the emperor around.
 Who painted this abominable thing?" inquired the emperor, stopping in front of the Two Sisters"
 "l did. your majesty" replied Herr Kafnpf.
 Director von Tchudi wanted the gallery to have a Whistler and had arranged to buy his "Nocturne No. 3, St. Marks" but the city commission in this case refused to support Herr von Tschudi because, 1t Is said, the emperor suggested that the picture was not needed.
