ANOTHER HITCH ARISES.
zelal Refuses the Proposed Exchange
 of Prisoners.

Tangier, June 20.-Late today it de- veloped that there was another hitch in the negotiations for the release of Perdcaris and Varley, the authorities at the British consulate expressing the opinion that Saturday would be the date for the release of the prisoners. It appears mat Raisuli suggested to Mohammed-El Torres, late representa- tive of the sultan of Morocco, an ex- change of prisoners be made through Zelal governor of the Beni M'Sara tribe. Zelal refused Raisulis proposi- tion to take the exchange away from the Beni Arros tribe, which seems to indicate fear of his own followers.
 Flight of Raisuli's men who were imprisoned at Teluan have arrived here

Bryan's Endorsement
of Folk and Cook,

"Your honorable candidatefor gov.
ernor, Joseph W. Folk, has become
known throughout the nation for
his vigorous and persistent prosecu-
tion Of officials who have betrayed
their trust. He is young, barely 80
years old, and four years ago he was
not known to many outside Of bis
own city, but to day his name is
much more familiar to the people Of
the United States than mine was
when was made the national can
didste OF our party and wherever
his name is known it stands for OF
fetal rectitude. he has been taken
up by the Democracy Of the state
and made the candidate for governor
as a reward for his fearless discharge
OF duty. Having been faithful in q
few things his party desires to In.
trust to him the larger cares and
greater responsibilities Of the state.
"While it was natural that many OF
the Democrats of Missouri preferred
some OF the other distinguished men
who aspired to the honor of the
nomination, no Democrat can now
oppose Mr.. Folk unless he is opposed
to the prosecution of corruption,
and il there be any in the Democratic
party who are opposed to the pun;
