Batesville Firebue Busy.

Batesville, Oct. 2.-The Bates
vile bank building was set on fire
last night and but for the prompt
work of the fire department would
have burned down. The fire or
iginated in the cellar under
Reiney & Sons store and was
plainly of incendiary origin. This
is the second fire of its kind with
in a week. Some firebug seems
determined to burn the town.
The loss is chiefly to Reiney &
Son, whose goods were damaged

New York, Sept. 2.-Thomas F. Ryan.
president of the Morton Trust Com
pany, said to-day:
"On my return to New York this
morning after a weeks absence at my
farm in Virginia, 1 heard for the first
time of the exaggerated and, in some
instances, inaccurate statements
which have appeared during the past
few days in the newspapers regarding
the purchase of Metropolitan Securi-
ties stock from Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.
"On July 80 concluded negotiations
with Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb e. Co. for
the purchase of their stock, and with
in two or three days thereafter bought
several other blocks of stock at pri-
vate sale and through the Stock Ex-
change. Mr.. Whitney had nothing to
do with the transaction and 1 have not
spoken to him on the subject.
The statement published yesterday
that Mr.. Whitney and l made repre-
sensations which We're inaccurate, is
absolutely without foundation. Nor is
there the slightest truth in the state
ment that we were or that anybody
was forced to take back securities, or
that Mr.. Schiff or anybody else ever
made any such demand to us directly
or Indirectly"

platform.
Mr. Bryan left late in the afternoon
for Marion, o.. where he addressed a
Democratic meeting tonight.
While in Columbus. Mr.. Bryan gave
out statement relative to the indorse-
ment of John H. Clarke, for United
States senator, in part as follows:
IL would have preferred the nominal
ton of some one who had been active
and earnest in the support of all planks
of our platform, but the delegates who
Endorsed the Kansas City platform also
Endorsed Mr.. Clarke, and after talking
with him and listening to his speech
last night, 1 am satisfied that his SYM
pathies are with the people in their
fight against organized wealth, and that
If elected senator, he can be trusted to
stand for the reform for which the
Democratic party is contending
i" ~S an Income Tax.
He IS vor of an income tar
His views -. Imperialism and the tar
if are sound and in line with Demo-
cratic principles. His one difference
is on one phase of the money question
namely-metallic money-and on this
question, l believe he was grievously
in error in 1896.
But since that time the arguments
made in favor of larger volume of
money have been vindicated. Believ-
ing as 1 do that his sympathies are
right, l shall trust to him to carry out
his platform on all questions that come
before him, rather than give encour-
agement to those who elect a Repub-
lioan Legislature and thus not only
return Mr.. Hanna, but prevent the en-
actment of needed legislation. On the
more acute phases of the money ques-
ton, l believe he will be found in EN-
tire harmony with the Kansas City
platform declarations.
His Plea for Clarke.
ITO oppose him because of his action
in 1896 in spite of the fact that he
helped us heartily in 1900, in spite of
the fact that he has supported John
son in all his reforms, in spite Of the
fact that he is now helping us on. ev-
erything except one phase of one ques-
ton, and in spite of the fact that on
that question I believe his sympathies
will lead him to our side when he
thoroughly understands the subject
to oppose him, l say, in spite of these
things, would be unreasonable and
unjust"
