BRYAN AGAINST WARFARE.
Does Not Approve the Training OF
Young Men to Arms.

New Haven, Conn, March Civil
liam j. Bryan delivered an address
this afternoon before the Peoples
Church in the Hyperion Theater on
THE Prince of Peace"
Mr. Bryan eventually took up the
question of war and inveighed against
the present war between Japan and
Russia, saying that he hoped there
would be a general demand made to
find out the cause of that warfare
Knowing the exact cause the world
would then be enabled to form
judgment as TO whfcn side has justice
in its contentious.
He deprecated the prevalence In this
country of training boys and young
men in the arts of warfare. The only
warfare that man ought to wage, said
he, is the warfare against evil in all
it's forms.
Society is in danger" continued Mr.
Bryan, because of the terrible con-
fiict that threatens between the rich
and the poor. Shall we say that the
outcome will be a warfare between
class and class, to end only in the
rule of that class which can take the
upper hand and rule because II has the
strength? How much better TO recog-
nize that all are brothers. Recogni-
ton of that doctrine will not rob life
of bravery, II will not make us cow
ards, for II takes a brave man TO live
righteously before men In the stren-
uous world of to-day it requires a
brave man to stand up Against error
I'm his own political party, and to
maintain a righteous principle"

Little Rock, Ark. March 27.--Com-
plete and partial returns from a ma
jority of the counties of Arkansas to-
night show that Gov. jefferson Davis
has probably carried enough counties
to give him the Democratic nomination
for a third term.
In half dozen counties the vote is
so close that the official count will be
necessary in order to decide.
The Democratic state convention,
which meets in Hot Springs on the
second Tuesday in June, will consist
Of 442 delegates, and 222 win be neces-
sary to nominate. On the returns at
hand Davis has 1888 delegates and Judge
Carroll d. Wood 1875. OF the remain
ing 129 delegates, Davis is sure of at
least one-third. 1t is probable that
the total vote in the state will reach
125.0O0.

To-night's returns show that Robert

GREAT DAMAGE DONE
BY THE HIGH WATERS.
Grand River I'm Michigan Surpassed
Former Records.

Former Records.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March a.
Conditions in this city and nearby
towns along the Grand river are very
grave tonight. as a result of the un-
precedented flood. At o'clock to-
night the river gauge here showed a
depth of 1873 feet. This is three feet
above the previous high water record
in 1874.
The water is falling slightly Tonight,
the drop in temperature having check
ed the small streams and surface
drainage. The inhabitants of flooded
houses are suffering greatly from cold
and lack of food. There has been no
loss of life thus far.
There is grave danger of an epidemic
of typhoid fever following the flood.
Inter-urban cars are running only
over portions of the roads out of Grand
Rapids. Steam railway traffic is de-
moralized. The city lighting station
is entirely out of commission. Many
of the west side churches are surround
ed by water and were unable to hold
services to-day. All schools on the
west side will be closed until further
notice.
1t is conservatively estimated that
the loss to property and business on
account of the flood will exceed ST.
100000. Fifteen thousand men will be
unable to work tomorrow, owing to
factories being closed by the high
water. Two thousand homes are flood
ed on the west side.
The flooded conditions at Ionia,
Lowell, Portland and other points
along the Grand river are reported
to be slightly improved tonight, the
water having begun to fall. The
flood loss at Ionia is estimated to-
night at 100000.
Niles reports tonight that no trains
have been run to-day on Michigan
division of the Big -Four, as a re-
suit of the st. Joseph river flood;
that the greater part of the north
end of the city is flooded and that
sand bags are being placed on the
dam across the river at that place
to keep it from going out.

Brothers the Last Victims-They
Were the Cause of All the Trouble,
Having Made the Assault Upon the

Little Rock, Ark, March 27.-A
special to the Gazette from Dewitt
saws:
Two more negroes have been killed
in the clash between whites and
blacks at St. Charles, fifteen miles
from here, in Arkansas county. This
brings the total of dead negroes up
to thirteen, all of them being killed
within the past week.
The last two negroes killed were
the Griffin brothers, Henry and Walk
err, who were the cause of the trou-
BILE. The negroes were reported to
have escaped, but it is known that
they are dead, and it is believed that
they were killed yesterday.
Owing to the remoteness of St.

of the result of the riot is not given
out freely, it is difficult to obtain de-
tails, but there is no doubt of the
authenticity of the death of the Grif
fins.
In the st. Charles neighborhood the
negroes largely outnumber the whites,
and trouble has been brewing for a
long time, and it is said the negroes
for the past two years have been get
ting insolent, and belligerent.
Yesterday was election day and US
ually on such a day st. Charles is
crowded with negroes, but during the
entire day only two negroes were seen
in the town, and these two appear
ed in the morning, and stayed in
the village, but a short time. Near
St. Charles the negroes are quiet, and
are attending strictly to their work.
The trouble originated last Mon
day when the two Grifiins met two
white men, brothers, named Searcy.
The SearcyS, who are hshermen, ana
the Griffins had an alteration few
days before, and when they met, the
trouble was renewed. One of the
negroes armed himself with the leg
of a chair, and with his brother as
saulted the white men, beating them
SO severely that one is now on the
verge of death, and the other is in
critical condition.

RUSSIAN LEADERS
REPORT TO THE CAR,

st Petersburg, March 27.-An official
peror says that at o'clock this morn
ing the Russian searchlights disclosed
four large merchant steamers making
for the entrance to the harbor, sup
ported by six torpedo boats.
A heavy fire was opened on them by
the batteries and some warships.
The torpedo boat Stilni, commanded
by Lieut.. Krinizki turned the mer-
chant vessels from their course by
blowing up the prov of the first and
pedo boats. In the fierce fight which
followed Chief Engineer Swyereff of
the Stilni and six marines were kill
ed, and the commander and twelve
men were wounded.
The Japanese plan to block the en-
trance to Port Arthur was frustrated,
however, and the channel is still
clear.
Vice Admiral Makaroff, commanding
the Russian naval forces at Port Ar
thur, has sent the following telegram
to the Emperor:
Picked Up By searchIight.
II beg most humbly to report that
at O'Clock this morning the enemy
made a second attempt to block the
entrance to the inner roadstead. For
this purpose they dispatched four large
merchant steamers. conveyed by six
torpedo boats, to the entrance.
''The enemy's ships were promptly
discovered by the searchlights and
were bombarded by the batteries and
by the guardships Bohr and Otvajny.
Fearing the enemy's ships might
break through, Lieut.. Kriniski, COM
manding the guard torpedo boat Stilni,
attacked the enemy and destroyed the
bow of the foremost Japanese steamer
with a torpedo. This steamer turned
to the right and was followed by two
others, with the result that the three
were stranded to the right of the en-
trance.
