Kansas City Platform Clubs TO Onset
Efforts ok RsorganixerA

GHor8 & Seof& au1&of2
In his Commoner- today william jennings
Bryan will say:
''some of the zreorsanfzers. recognising
that their secret schemes are menaced by
the organization Of Kansas City platform
clubs. as proposed by the Commoner, are
attempting to scare loyal but weakened
democrats by saying that the contemplated
movement is q threatened bolt. This charge
is both false and malicious. and comes with
bad grace from those who have themselves
ooited democratic presidential nominal
ton.
Organization and an open fight are all
that can protect the rank and die from the
designs Of those who desire to emasculate
the democratic PLATFORM
when 1t Is remembered that the more
pronounced reorganixers voted the repub-
lican ticket. and have not changed their
views. it becomes apparent that they CEN
not control the party without making the
platform offensive to those who were loyal.
IF those who believe In the principles OF
the Kansas City platform do their duty
the auestioa-of buiting VIII never arise
That. question viii be left for the con-
sideration OF those who have bolted be-
fore.
"organlze at once. No time should bs
lost"
General Simon Bolivar Buckner. gold
democratic candidate for Vice President in
1896 In an interview at Louisville, KY, last
night said:
mo man who is not acceptable to Mr..
Bryan can be nominated. and as yet no one
has been suggested who meets with his ap-
prevail And. indeed. do not believe that
any one can DO 20 except himself"

NEW BILL INTRODUCED.
Passage of Permanent Cuban Tariff
 Act Now Probable.

Havana, December 29.-The passage of a permanent tariff act at present has be- come altogether improbable as 1t is not expected that a quorum can be maintain ed in the house of representatives longer than the first week of January because of the campaign preceding the election of representatives which will be held ill February.
 A new bill has therefore been intro- duced in the senate providing, as a tenn porary measure, for a straight increase in duties sufficient to offset the loss of revenues under the operation of the re- ciprocity treaty between Cuba and the United States. This measure is likely to be enforced until the new congress passes a permanent tariff bill
 The senate again discussed in secret session the amendments to the loan law.

BLucHER HAS STORMY TIME.
Hamburg-Amerlcan Liner Has Rough
 Passage Across Atlantic.

New York December 2s.-The Hamburg American liner Butcher docketed today after an exciting voyage. During the first night out from Hamburg. while she was running in dense fog. at only half speed, with fog horns blowing, she was run into by 15O0-ton tramp steamship and a hole stove in her bow. The forward campart- ment was flooded, and the ship had to de- lay one day at Cherbourg to have new plates fitted where the collision damaged her.
 After leaving Cherbourg, she ran into a stiff northwest gale. On the night of the 18th. when the fury of the storm had reached it's climax, the Butcher was roll ing and pitching furiously. panic among the steerage passengers was only averted by prompt action on the part of the off, cers. The steerage passengers had be- come so alarmed by the stormy weather that they feared the vessel would sink.
