effort to bring the government into
harmony with those VINO live under
it and to make it reflect more and
more their intelligence, virtue and
patriotism. In proportion as the
democratic party trusts the people
and protects them, it will win the
confidence and support of the people,
and no ore can doubt for the national
triumph of such a party without doubt
ing the correctness and growth OF the
principles of free government.
Referring to the suggestions
of other speakers that he should
be the next democratic candi-
date for the presidency, Bryan de-
clared that he is not now a candidate
for any office; that he never said he
would never again be a candidate for
Office, but that the talk Of candidacy
does not effect him as it once did.
II trust that before the time comes to
name the man for the presidential
race ne said, light may be thrown
upon our party's pathway and that a
man will be chosen who will be best
able to do for the party more than |
have yet been able TO do

Toxic, Sept. 13.-The disaster to the
battieship Mikasa cast gloom every
where. 1t was Admiral Togo's flag
ship and was endeared to the hearts
of the people. The ship was at anch-
or in Sasebo harbor when the fire
started at the base of the main mast
at midnight 1t spread with great
rapidity exploding the after magazine
an hour after the fire had been dis
covered. The Mikasa sank in shall
low water and it is believed can be re-
paired. Rescuing parties were sent
from various warships in the harbor
and there were many casualties among
them.
Various conjectures are current as
to the cause of the fire Some at
tribute it to an overcharge of electric
ity Great relief was fe.t through
out Japan when it was learned that
Admiral Togo was not on board the
ship at the time of the fire.
The navy department announced
that the Mikasa was destroyed by fire
and the explosion of her magazine,
causing the loss Of 500 lives, including
men of other ships who went to the
rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight Sunday, September
10. Before the officers could be res
cued the flames reached the aft maya
zine which exploded, Blowing a hole
in the port side Of the vessel below
the water line and causing the ship to
sink. An investigation is being held
to determine the cause of the fire.

fly Prussian Government in Sup
posed Sale of Undesirable Secur-
ities-Thomas Lawson May Be
Summoned as a Witness.

New York, Sept. 1.-Yesterday's
session of the legislative life insur-
ance investigating committee was de-
voted exclusively to the affairs of the
New York Life Insurance company,
and a searching examination was
made of it's officers, who appeared on
the stand. Beginning with the salar-
les paid the officers, the line Of in
curry extedend through all the details
of the company's participation In vari-
Gus underwriting syndicates for rail-
road securities, the New York Life's
connection with trust companies, and
finally near the close of the day, de-
veloped the fact that it was not an
unusual thing for clerks or messen-
gers in the employ of the company,
with salaries as low as $50 year, to
sign notes for millions of dollars, to
be used by the company in relieving
it's books of undesirable securities.
An interesting feature of the day
was statement that Thomas w.
Lawson of Boston might be called as
witness. The committees chair
man said that if the information Law
son is supposed to hold could not be
secured from other sources Lawson
would be asked to testify
Officers of the New York Life tes-
titled that or one occasion it became
necessary for the company to sell
certain securities in order to satisfy
the Prussian government Two
clerks signed notes aggregating 81
$4,000, and on the books the secur-
tiles appeared as sold to these parties,
although they really had been turned
over to the New York Trust company
as security for loan made on the
notes of the two insurance companies.
1t was, declared that since 1899 the
New York Life had not been connect
ed with trust companies, but subse-
quently it was admitted that stock of
the New York Trust company is now
held for the New York Life by a COM
mittee of trustees. The New York
Trust company is connection of the

pany and the Continental Trust com
pany.

To TREAT
WITH THE UN|O n

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The demands OF
the freight handlers union for an in
crease of 10 per cent. in wages or arbi-
tration of their demands. and the de-
mand for conference were refused
yesterday The general managers OF
the % railroads centering in Chicago
notified President Flannery of the un-
ion that negotiations were ended
News of the refusal to grant the in
crease of wages, to arbitrate their
dispute and the declination to hold a
conference was received angrily by
the men. They Immediately arranged
to call a series of mass meetings to
consider the action of the roads.
At the meeting of the railroad Of
ficials they pledged themselves not
to deal individually with the company
of freight handlers. 1t developed
after the meeting that the general
freight agents and general managers
had communicated with the freight
handlers as individual employees and
informed each that the railroads were
paying the highest wages it was pos
sible to pay. Notwithstanding the
feeling of confidence said to have re-
suited after individual interviews with
the employees, that there will be no
strike, the railroads are going ahead
with preparations for one. Cots are
being hauled to the freight houses and
hundreds of men have been tentative
ly hired to take the places of the I'M
ion men should they vote to strike.
Chief of Police Collins has promised to
furnish the freight houses with police
protection.
1t was stated late last night that
both sides will make every effort to
avoid a strike. The railroads yester-
day, the first time since the beginning
of the controversy, recognized inter-
national union freight handlers by
mailing to the union officials re
gret" that they were unable to meet
the demand for increased wages, but
expressing willingness to meet the
employees and discuss matters. The
executive board of freight handlers
will today seek to arrange a confer
ence with the railroads, individually
or collectively.

Jefferson club. Covers were laid for
500 guests and among those present
were many leading democrats. The
first speaker was Congressman
Rainey of Illinois, who spoke of Our
Obligations as World Power, at
Home and Abroad
Mayor Dunno spoke on The Pro-
gress of Municipal Ownership, at the
same time referring to MIR. Bryan in
words of high praise.
Ollie NJ. Jones of Kentucky brought
out round after round of applause by
the eulogy Of Mr.. Bryan and the plea
for democratic harmony with which
he closed a speech in which he de-
clared that Bryan had long ago de-
clared i'll favor of crushing the trusts,
reforming the tariff and bringing to
arbitration all international disputes.
In brief address Judge J. B. Tar
vim of Covington, KY, declared for
bryan as the standard bearer of the
democracy in 1908.
When Bryan arose to speak he was
greeted with an enthusiastic demon
stration and it was some minutes be-
fore the applause subsidized sufficiently
to allow linn to proceed. In respond
ing to toast, Democracy VS.. Cen
tralization, he said that there are
two forces constantly at work in every
nation, one force tending to bring
government nearer to the people and
the other tending to carry govern
ment farther away from the people"
This tendency to remove authority
from the locality to center farther
away he described as Capitalization.
Just now he said public attention is
being directed to the encroachments Of
great corporations upon the rights of
the people and the discussion of rem
edies reveals the fact that among
those who really desire to effectively
restrain the corporations there are two
distinct elements-those who desire
to enlarge the scope of the federal
government and those who desire to
preserve the integrity and authority
of the several states. This he consid.
cred as likely to he the rock upon

less there is a clear understanding of
the situation.
FIe entered upon a lengthy explana-
ton of the difference between Jeffer-
sonian democrats aid the advocates
Of Capitalization. The former would
insist upon the constitutional division
of powers of federal and state gov
eminent, neither encroaching upon
the other. The advocates of central
ization distrust the people, favor oblit-
Grafton of state lines and would re-
move t1e government from the con.
troll of the voters. He opposed ma
tional control of life insurance and ma
tional charters to large corporations.
He would control the trusts by means
of license similar to the license
controlling liquor traffic, so that the
trusts, while under government reg
ulation, would still be amendable to
state laws. In conclusion he said:

MEASURE TO

MILWAUKEE CONFERENCE
congressman Who Fathered Important
Bill Decide to Make Only Minor
Changes in Wording-WII Make 1t
More ExpIcit-Include Control of
Private Car Systems.

Milwaukee, Sept. 13.-1he Esch>
Townsend railroad rate bill will be in
troduced at the next session OF con
gress practically in the same form in
which it passed the house of repre-
sentatives at the last session. This
was determined upon at conference
at the Pf1ster between Congressman
Charles E. Townsend of Jackson,
Mich, and Congressman j. ]. Esch OF
La Crosse, who fathered the bill.
1.-THE bill will be presented the same
as the one which passed the house In
February" said Mr.. Townsenn. IF
anything, it will be strengthened by a
few changes which we have practically
agreed upon. These changes are all
made with a view to making the bill
more specific, and are largely merely
alterations in Technology. The SEN
ate committee has been having hear
ings on the subject this summer ann
some of these changes are the result
of their suggestions.
For instance, the first bill provided
that the commission should have
power to regulate rates and prac-
tees I thought and still think that
this provision covered private cars.
But, to make it stronger the private
cars will be specifically mentioned in
the new bill.
1.-THE object of the bill is to clOtAe
the commission with the power that
it was always intended to have. That
is the power not only to declare a
rate illegal, but to substitute for such
rate a legal one. believe the billy
will accomplish this end and l have
every hope that it will pass at this
session"
Congressman Esch came to Milwau-
kee in response to a Geographic re-
quest from Mr.. Townsend, on his way
to Chicago. lie conference was con-
tinuel until late hour in the after
noon. No other congressman partic1-
pated in the discussion.

New Orleans, Sept. 13.-The fever

deaths, total of 319 to date. Though
the death list did not remain clear
the local fever situation presents an
unusually favorable aspect, with the
authorities more concerned over con-
ditions in the country than here. The
conditions in the country, while un-
doubleday showing signs of improve
ment in some sections, are not alto
gether encouraging.

Flew Flag of Togo.

The Mikasa was the flagship Of the
Japanese navy, flying the flag of Vice
Admiral Togo, the commander in
chief She was present at all the
principal engagements during the war
and was on several occasions report
ed severely damaged in action. At
the battle of the sea of Japan she led
the fleet into action and her name was
mentioned in connection with some
of the most stirring events of this ia
nous sea fight.
The Mikasa won a lasting name
May 27. At noon on that day Admir-
al Rojestvensky, with a fleet of sc
ships, including eight battleships,
three coast-defense ships, three ar
mored cruisers, five protected cruis-
ers, four hospital and repair ships, and
13 destroyers, was met by Admiral
Togo in the Mikasa. The clash came
when the Russians were passing Tsu-
shima island, at the narrowest part of
the straits, midway between Japan and
Corea. Here Togo gave battle.
The Russian fleet was formed in
on the west, the battleships on the
east. Togo's fleet swung around from
behind the island of Tsushima and at
tackled the Russians from the west.
The Russian formation was fatal. Be
tween Rojestvensky's light battleships
and Togo were all of his smaller ships,
and his heavy gun fire was b1anketed
-
As the afternoon wore along Togo
crowded the Russian fleet nearer and
nearer the Japanese coast. The bat
tleships BOrodino and Kniaz Souvaroff
were sunk early in the fight After
sunset the Japanese torpedo boats at
tackled The Russian fleet was prac-
tically wiped out before Sunday morn
ing. One battleship and three cruis-
ers surrendered on Sunday.
Battle of Sea of Japan.
Togo sunk OF captured rs Russian
warships. Only the little cruiser AL
MAJ and few destroyers escaped to
Vladivostok. Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky, seriously wounded, was taken
prisoner, as was Rear Admiral Nebog-
atoff. Rear Admiral Voelkersam and
Rear Admiral Enquist were killed.
More than 5000 Russian sailors
were killed or drowned, and more
than 5000 were taken prisoners. To
COS battleships and cruisers escaped
practically unscathed, and he lost only
three destroyers in the battle. About
200 of his men were killed and wound
ed.
In the battle of the sea of Japan the
Mikasa was the heaviest loser of all
the Japanese ships, having 63 killed
and wounded. She approached near
er to the Russians than any other bat
tleship.
The Mikasa was also the flagship of
Admiral Togo after the great naval
battle fought off Port Arthur on Au-
gust 10, 1904, on which occasion the
Japanese flagship also suffered the
most, but continued in the fighting
line. On that occasion the MIkas'
had four officers and 20 men Killed,
six officers and 20 men severely
wounded and four officers and 29 men
Slightly wounded.
The Mikasa was launched in 1898 at
Barrow, in England. The vessel has
displacement of 1920 tons. a speed
of Is knots and an armament of four
12-inch, fourteen 6-inch, twenty 3-inch
