What principle of Democracy does
it stand for? What does it propose
to do for the people, different from
what the Republicans are doing? To
Via point is it directing its line Of

The mass of the Democratic party
feel outraged at the way in which
their leaders have sold them to Vail

and a half million men who followed
Bryan, with cheers on their lips and
warm convictions in their hearts, can
now be delivered like cattle to the
Cl~eve1andites who knitted the ticket or
bolted it in 1896. 1 believe that the
great majority of the men who voted
for Bryan are men of conviction;
cannot but hope they will realize that.
I am fighting their battle now.
I call upon the six and a half mil

.crystalized in the Chicago platform of

WRECKED
NEAR HATTERAS
An Unknown Steamer Struck
Diamond Shoals During
a Fog
PROBABLY A FRUIT CARRIER

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 29.-Battered by
heavy seas, an unknown steamer lies
helpless on the inner Diamond Shoals,
eight miles off Cape Hatteras, and
faint lights seen now and then carry
a message to the life swing corps on
shore that there are L4man lives on
board the wrecked craft that cannot
be saved until the wind and sea have
Gained sufficiently to allow the surf
boats to be launched.
The observer Of the United States
weather bureau at Hatteras first saw
the steamer when the fog lifted. At
that time she appeared to be in dis
tress, and later IL was seen that she
had grounded on the inner shoal
known to mariners as "Hell's Hole" in
the graveyard Of shipping. The heavy
seas careened the vessel on her port
side, with seas washing all over her
The steamer has three masts and
one funnel. Her engines and boilers are
aft and the funnel is between the
mainmast and mizzen-mast. From her
description it Is thought she may ne
one Of the fruit liners that ply be-
tween West Indian ports and Balti-
more or New York.
The observer at Hatteras reports
that the life saving crews Of several
stations along the Carolina coast in
the vicinity of Hatteras were on the
beach ready to launch their surf boats
the minute the wind and tide had
abated sufficiently to allow them to
do so. At that time the wind had
dropped from 40 W SO miles an hour
but the mercury was falling steadily

slump In Cotton.

New York, Dec. 29.-The sensational
decline in cotton was continued as a
result of aggressive bear pressure i'm
mediately preceding the publication Of
the ginners' report, after which there
was heavy liquidation and further
pressure, so that the downward ten
dency was continued, with the market
finally barely steady at the lowest
point of the session and every active
option on the list selling we'll below
the seven cent mark, with the near
months around 61a cents.
The government report showed that
737 counties had ginned to December
1S 11.S4S, 11S bales of cotton, counting
round bales as half bales, against s.
427 ,259 bales to the same date in the
same counties last year. The bears
took this as indicating a total crop
of around 100000 bales. The report
was followed by active liquidation.
While some Of the big shorts appeared
to be covering at the decline. support
was withdrawn on every little bulge,
and bear pressure renewed, with the
market showing a final loss Of 81 to
S8 points for the day.

BAIL OFFERED FOR
NAN PATTERSON
West Virginians Say They
Will Go on Her Bond for
$4,000
DECLARE THAT SHE IS INNOCENT

New York, Dec. 29.-Nan Patterson,
the former show girl. who is in tho
Tombs prison, charged with the muir
Ter of Caesar Young, is in better spir-
It's than at any time since the second
Jury which heard the testimony in her
case reported that they were unable
to agree upon a verdict.
She believed, she said, that the free
dom for which she has longed for moro
than six months was about to be grant
ed. Telegrams had come to her from
Wheeling, W. Va, announcing that
four prominent men in that city were
prepared 10 furnish bail for her in any
amount up to $4,000.
Il have received kilograms from
men Offering to go on my bond" she
said, but / do not feel at liberty TO
give out the names si my new-founl
friends until have consulted with my
attorney"
Later counsel for Miss Patterson
gave out the telegram purporting TO
have been received by Miss Patterson
December %, and containing an offer
of bail. The telegram was as follows;
"Fairmount w. Va, Dec. %, 1904
Nan Patterson, care Tombs Prison.
New York City: We will furnish bail
to the extent Of $4,000 If necessary. ~
p. A. Deveny II. J. Price. Edward
Slack c. w. Swisher, secretary Of
state-elect."
Miss Pattersons counsel conferred
with Assistant District Attorney Rand.
Afterwards It was learned that both
sides desired delay. and # seems prob
able that Miss Patterson will not be
put on trial again for several months.
Nan Patterson's father, who spent
the greater part of the day with his
daughter in the Tombs. said after leav-
ing her that he feared she was going
insane
"She is broken down completely" "
he said. 81 tell you my little girl is a

that her mind is giving away under
this dreadful strain. She IS worse than

ing Of the jurys disagreement. have

DR.. Mcguire was sent for later, and
after examining Miss Patterson said,
Miss Patterson Is in a highly ner-
vous and even a hysterical condition,
but in my Judgment there need be no
fear Of insanity from present indica-
tions She laughs a good deal, but the
laughter is more of a hysterical char
acter than from any impulse that
would appear like insanity. She needs
good care and constant watchfulness
and companionship. The latter, as we
all know, cannot very well be supplied
in a prison"

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES
II Is Expected Senate Committee vii
Report Them FaVorably.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has not
yet taken up the several arbitration
treaties negotiated last autumn and
sent TO the senate before the holiday
recess. 1t is expected that a meeting
of the committee will be held next
week and that these treaties will be
favorably reported. Several southern
senators who have been examining
them have raised the question as to
whether under them the bonds Of
southern states, issued during the re-
construction period, could be arbi-
trated and declared valid. They have
given notice that If the treaties pro-
vide for the adjudication of such
bonds they will oppose them unless an
amendment is inserted which in ex-
press terms will declare that bonds OF
state shall not be arbitrated. There
are many million dollars of these
bonds, which, it is claimed, were fraud
ulently issued and for which the states
received no benefit. Their payment
was refused. Other senators who have
looked into the question say that they
believe the arbitration treaties cannot
be construed to cover these state
bonds.

plicated by New Church canons.
Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-There will
be no hearing Of the changes against
Bishop Ethelbert Talbot. of the do
cese of Central Pennsylvania, by the
court recently appointed by Bishop
Tuttle, is the statement made by
churchmen who are well posted in the
canonical laws of the Episcopal
church. A complication has developed
which they say will put a stop effect
ually to the proceedings of the court Of
Inquiry as now constituted.
The trouble comes from a recent
change in the canons of the church re
harding the appointment of a court of
that nature. The first intimation of
the trouble comes in the shape of an
editorial in the Church Standard, the
oldest organ of the church in this
country. Rev. Dr. John Fulton, the edi-
tor, says in reference to the Irvine
Talbot case, that the presiding bishop
has constituted the board of inquiry,
under a canon which was superseded
by new canon of the late general
convention. The new canon will come
into operation on January 1, 1905. The
board of inquiry is called to meet on
January 10, and when it does meet
on that date 1t will not be constituted
as the new canon requires. 1t will
therefore. have no power to proceed
with the inquiry for which it is called
Men conversant with church law say
that the only course now left is to let
the present court meet on the date
named. 1t can then decide that it nc
longer has jurisdiction in such mat
ters and refer the matter back to
Bishop Tuttle, the presiding bishop
for further action.

woMAN,s NECK WAS BROKEN
Marks Of Violence On Body Found In
RiVerside Drive. New York.

Riverside Drive, New York.
New York, Dec. 29 - The young
woman who was found dead in River
side Drive last Monday. and who, it
was first thought, was a victim of
starvation and exposure. came TO her
death b. violence, according to the re.
port of Coroner's Physician Weston,
who performed an autopsy on the
body. The autopsy showed that the
woman's neck had been broken. and
there was a severe bruise on the right
forearm. It also plainly showed, the
physician says. that the woman did
not suffer from either starvation or
exposure. Death was directly due to
the broken neck. Dr. Weston says she
may have been murdered or her in
juries may have been wholly acciden-
tol. The body has not yet been iden.
tilted.
The first clew came In a statement
from w. H. Arnold, who found the
woman's body Arnold told the police
that with Edward F. Phillips he was
in a road house at 18TH street and
the drive Sunday night and saw the
woman drinking with three compan-
ions. two men and q woman.
The search for the men and woman
who were with the girl at the road
house is being continued. The police
are not inclined TO accept the murder
theory. They believe the young wom-
ans injuries were caused by a fall.
