PERDICARIS AND VARLEY.

French Agents Now Working For
bandit Cnptives' Release.
WASHINGTON, June lit is stated
at the state department that several
days will elapse before the result OF
the efforts of the French agents in be
half of Ion Perdicaris and Marley, the
captives of the Morocco bandits, can
be known.
Reports that other tribal chieftalns
are talking about kidnapping Europeans
tend to confirm the officials here In
their original reluctance to compound
Il felony by paying ransom and thus
encourage kidnapping. When the Euro
pean squadron, commanded by Rear
Admiral Jewell, joins the south At
lantic squadron. commanded by Real
Admiral Chadwick. at Tangier, Ad-
miral Chadwick will have command of
the combined fleet of seven vessels.
He has been specially charged by the
navy department with the conduct of
the naval operations in connection with
the Perdicaris case.
1t has been learned from London that
the British minister at Tangier, acting
on instructions from the foreign Office
at London. is cooperating with the
French minister in the endeavor to Sc
cure the release of Messrs. Perdicaris
and Marley. 1t is believed that if the
captives' release is possible it can best
be achieved through French influence.
A rumor has reached here that the
United States will allow eight days for
the release of Perdicaris, failing that
Tangier will be bombarded.

MR.BRYAN'S WAY
Continued From Page i.

the fear of standardization is entirely answered. A board composed of rep resentatives from the various states could deal with the interstate traffic of the various lines. If the federal gov ernment had railroads to build there would be constant warning between the different sections to secure a fair share of the new building and devel- opment. but where this is left to the state the people can decide whetheY they desire to build or to buy.
 With the democratic party in the country, advocating government own ership of rail1o oads, the democratic par ty in cities should upon the same the ory espOuse the cause of municipal ownership of municipal franchises.
 We have also reached a time when the postofIice department should em~ brace the telegraphic system as well as the mail system. While the tele- graph lines do not reach as many peo- pie as the railroads do, and while the abuses of private ownership have not been so open and notorious, yet there is no reason why this nation should not do what other nations are doing in this respect. Private monopoly must be destroyed. The democratic platform adopted at Kansas City declared pri- vate monopoly to be indefensible and intolerable.
 The democratic party has in two campaigns stood for an income tax. The plank was omitted this year be- cause the men in control of the party thought it would jeopardize success in the eastern states. This objection may have weight when an appeal is made to a particular section and the wealthy men of that section, but it cannot have weight when the party goes forth, as it ultimately must do, to appeal to the masses. The contest above outlined must be made whether the party wins in November or not.
 A single election is but an incident in the life or a party. For more than a century the democratic party has stood forth as the representative of certain great ideas. Jefferson found ed it. Jackson defended it, and even Cleveland could not destroy it. If MT. Parker is elected, his administration will rid us of imperialism and of the threat of a race issue and give us greater freedom !n taking up economic questions"

coNJueAL DEVOTION OF BIRDS

The wagtail frequently migrates from one part of the country to another and sometimes congregates in focks, but he pairs for life, and the same pair always reappear, sometimes when they are at least expected, and all the more welcome from their occasional absence, on their favorite lawn. Their devotion 10 one another is extreme, as a scene l witnessed some 40 years ago, but which is as fresh in my memory as if had seen it yesterday, will show.
 A wagtail had been killed probably by a stone, and was lying dead in the middle of the circular drive in front of the Down House. Blandford. The sur vivor seemed beside himself with grief, Like Eve in Paradise" he knew not what death was" or at the most the reality was only gradually breaking in upon him. He kept running up to the body, with loud and plaintive call note. He called, but there was no response. He caressed the body, caught hold of 1t with his little bill coaxed it to move, drew it after him for a yard or two. He even tried to rise with it in the air. Then, like one distraught, he dashed away to the edge of the gravel drive. and then as quickly dashed back again to go through the same mournful pre- cesses. Sometimes he would fly right off in Wavering. uncertain flight as reT as the eyes could follow him, as though he could bear the sight no longer, bu. without stopping to rest, he hurried back in straighter and quicker fighT unable to tear himself away, or as if Ee hoped that something might have han pened in his absence. This long drawn tragedy, this abandonment of grief, I watched from the window throughout the afternoon till darkness came on. Next morning the body had disappear ed, and I saw the survivor no more Nineteenth Century
