Is About to Leave on Tour of
 the World
DUNNE WARMLY GREETED
MT. Bryan Was Unable to Speak for Several Minutes Because of the Enthusiastic Dem
 onstration.

Chicago. September 12.-"I want to make my position perfectly clear: I want to say to you that not only am I not announcing candidacy, but I am not permitting a candidacy"
 In these words William J. Bryan ad- mlnistered a check to the enthusiasm which at the Jefferson club banquet given tonight in MT. Bryan's honor greet ed the speeches advocating his nomina- ton for the third time for President. There had been warm words of praise for MT Bryan. particularly from former Congressman Ollie James of Kentucky. and Judge J. B. Tarvin of Covington, Ky, who had declared unqualifedly for MT. Bryan as the democratic nominee for President in 1908 and from Alexander Troup of New Haven. Conn.,, who de- clared that Bryan was the natural and legitimate leader of the democratic party in the coming campaign.
 "I am not now" said MT. Bryan, "a candidate for any office. I have never said that l would never again be can didate for office but 1 want to say now that that talk of candidacy for office does not affect me as 1t once did. I believe that my place in history will be determ- ined not by what the people are able to do for me. but by what l am able to do for the people, Applause and cheering) think 1t Is now too soon to choose candidate for President 10 make the race three years from now; 1t is too early to pledge ourselves to any one man. trust that before the time comes to name man for the next presidential race. light may be thrown upon our party's pathway, that that man may be chosen wlo will be best able to do for the party more than l have yet been able to do.'

Rome, September 12.-In connection with the forthcoming visit to Tokio of Bishop William H. O'Connell of the diocese Of Maine, as special envoy of tlN Pope to Emperor of Japan, 1t is not known that the appointment of such a representative has been in contemplation for a long time It was thought that the Japanese people could never be converted indlvldu- ally, but would have to be Christianized if at all by diplomatic methods.
 At the present time the Catholic church In Japan is suffering frtm the lmputa- ton that 1t is a French institution, and France being the ally of Russia the church comes in for a share of popu!Gr disfavor. To counteract this, It was srg- gested that the Pope should come for ward as a sovereign and appoint q repre- sentative at Tokio at the same time re- questing the Japanese government to appoint a minister to the vatican. Tne suggestion was well received by his Holi- ness

AMERICAN CHOSEN
 FOR THE MISSION
BISHOP o'coNNELL WILL CARRY MESSAGE FROM POPE PLUS X TO EMPEROR MuTsuHlTo OF JA- PAN.

Portland, Me-, September 12.-Bishop William H. OConnell of the Roman Cath ollie diocese of Maine announced his in- tention today to leave on Thursday for Japan on a special mission in behalf of Pope Plus x.
 Bishop OConnell declines to state the purpose of his visit but 1t is believed to be an important diplomatic mission from the vatican to the Emperor of Japan, de- cided upon at about the time of the con clusion of peace between Japan and Rus sia. It is understood in Catholic cir cles that the bishop will present to the Emperor the personal congratulations of the Pope on the magnanimous manner in which Japan yielded to Russia and also thank the Emperor for his kindly inter est in the Catholic subjects of Japan and express the hope that this interest may continue.

Tries to Evade Answering.

 action was that you might be able to tell the superintendent of insurance you held only S32O0.0O0 of International Mercantile Marine shares?"
 The witness hesitated and tried to evade a direct answer, but MT Hughes repeated the question until finally Mir. Randolph said:
 Yes"
 There was . momentary hush, followed by murmur of suppressed excitement. Following up the syndicate of transac- tons, Mir. Hughes referred to all item on the schedule of syndicate transactions un- der date of December 30 1904, by which $500 900 of bonds were sold to J. s. Nor gan & Co. of London for $720,000. MT. Ran dolph admitted that tSJs was an outright sale and the loss of $S0,0O0 was charged off to the profit and loss account Mir. Hughes left the point and took up an association known as Nylic. with the New York Life Insurance company. He got from the witness the admission that on April il, 1904, a sale of $50,000 stock of "Nylic'' was made. Of this association MT Perkins was trustee and "Nylic" bought and sold stock for the benefit of the company.
 The usefulness of the New York Secur- ity and Trust company to the New York Life came out when 1t was testified that while the insurance company was not taking collateral loans, it made practice of lending It's money to the trust com pany. which made the collateral loans.
 Deposits Gradually Decreased.
 MT. Hughes took up the accounts of the money deposited with the New York Security and Trust company in 1902 which was called account No. {. It ran from so,750.000 in May and June to s12,03l.0o0 in September and ended at well over s1,000,00 In December.
 Now said Mir. Hughes, 'why did you reduce the amount deposited with the New York Security and Trust com pany in July, 1904, to A,5Oo,Ooo, and keep 1t at that even figure to the end of the year? Your balance at the beginning of 1904 was ss.000.000."
 MT. Randolph professed ignorance, the lmpossibility of remembering every trans action. and interrupted again and again.
 MT Hughes begged the witness to re- frain from general conversation and repeated the question. Mir. Randolph fi- na1ly said:
 .sThere was a question at this time whether our relation would continue with the company. The consolidation of the New York Security and Trust company was taking place at this time.'
 Now prior to the end of 1904. the trus- tees of the New York Security and Trust company held 5oo5 shares; that is. ma jority of the 10000 shares"
 Yes"
 Well in March. 1904 when the total stock of the company was increased to 300O0 shares. were the holdings of the trustees increased?"
 "No."
 Witness was then led through the change of the name of the trust com pany, and admitted the three accounts with the old company were closed and four opened with the new one. When the

Fatalities Were Few.

London, September 13.-The Tokio cor respondent of The Times says that the cahIalties resulting from the loss of the battlehsip Mikasa are five killed. twenty one missing and 943 wounded.

 spite of the fact there was some relaxa- lion on the part of the public in stamping out the disease in the city, 1t Is the opin- ion of the leaders that to all intents and purposes the fight has been won and the only question remaining Is whether or not the people will pull together to the end or whether the laggards here and there will make 1t possible for sporadic cases to appear right mp to December Dr. White and his assistants have for some time been hopeful of success in stampinR out the disease before frost but owing to carelessness not only Tn tue warning on the mosquito but or calling In doctors they fear that this may not be the case.
 show improvement. although not alto gether encouraging. The state board Is still sending out physicians and nurses, the state is offering financial help wher- ever lt is shown to be needed; hospitals are being established and equipped and everything Is being done that is possible to arouse the pluck of the people but headway is not being made in cuttihg out the disease as Is desired There Is hope that no effort will be spared to curb the fever.
 Talluah Is Most Serious.
 The point of most serious infection now, is. of course, Talulah owing to the de- rnoralizatlon of the community. but extra ordinary efforts are being made to restore the confidence there and at Lake Provi- dence which is not far away. Doctors Chassaignac and Bass were due to reach Tallulah with three trained nurses today and the state board has arranged to send two more nurses and Dr. Allen with this force joining hands with those on the scene the probability is that the sick ness w(ll soon yield to the fight that will be made against it. Both of these towns are in North Louisiana and the effect of the infection has been to tie mp the Vicks- burg, Shreveport and Pacific, and the Memphis, Helena and Louisiana roads, causing a great deal of discomfort and distress to people who are miles removed from the infected zone.
 Dr. White, Professer Boyce, and Dr. Corput took an automobile ride to Ken ner today where they inspected the hos pital and investigated general conditions in that section. Accommodations have been provided for all the sick that can possibly be brought to the institution and the concentration of the patients in it will enable the authorities to keep out the infection for miles around much more rapidly than if patients were allowed to remain in shacks all over the country.
 Mayor Behrman was in receipt today of a letter of sympathy of citizens of the Islen of Pines. They expressed the hope the close of the pestilence would soon arrive and offered refuge to any citizens of this city who would come to them.
 Mayor Behrman acknowledging the ten der of the committee. said he expected a rapid disappearance of the sickness so that there was no longer necessity for citizens to leave New Orleans.

Notable Mark of Esteem.

Chicago, September 12.-William Jen- nings Bryan, soon to leave for 6 tour of the world, was the recipient of notable testimonial of esteem tonight at a ban quet given in his honor by the Jefferson club at their rooms, Randolph and Clark streets. Covers were laid for 300 guests, and among those present were Congress- man Ollie M. James of Kentucky. May or Edward F. Dunne of Chicago. Judge James B. Tarvin of Covington, Ky; E. L.

"On January ?, 1904. there is an entry of purchase of sS00,OO0 From whom did you buy?"
 U. P. Morgan & Co.,"
 Why did you sell to J. P Morgan, then buy from J. P. Morgan & Co. on the next business day?"
 Because they desired to reduce it. ''Yes, but why then did you buy 1t back the next business day?'
 Here MT. Randolph began to explain and wandered several times from the sub ject. He was lead back by the lawyer who seemingly was unable to get re- ply. Finally he asked:
 "Who sold the shares for the New York Life?"
 MT. Perkins,"
 'Who bought them again?'
 "Ar officer of the company"
 "Wno was it?"
 MT. Perkins"
 "As matter of fact there was a report to the superintendent of insurance on De- cember 31, 1903?"
 Yes"

Sensational Admission is Made
 by Treasurer Randolph
TRIES 10 EVADE QUESTIONS
Company Sold ssoo,ooo In Bonds on December 31 and Bought Them Back January to Deceive
 Commissioners.

New York, September 12.-Sellng S0O- 900 in bonds one day and buying them back the next but one, holiday inter vening, in order to keep within state- ments made in the New York Life lnsur- ance companys report to the superin- tendent of insurance was the sensational disclosure made today at the session of the legislative insurance Investigating committee.
 The fact was drawn from Edmund D.. Randolph, treasurer of the New York Life Insurance company late in the day after Attorney Hughes of counsel to the committee had labored for over an hour to get direct answer from MT. Randolph to a direct question. The in- quiry had dragged through mass of fig ures during almost the entire day, but 1t was not until near the ending of the session that the sensational feature was brought out.
 Schedule of Syndicate Underwrltlngs.
 Earlier in the day Mir. Randolph had handed MT. Hughes a schedule of syndi- cate underwriting, and transactions of the New York Life for the last ten years. This statement was to show and foot note to the schedule so stated, that the company had participated in no syndicate transac- tions that had been closed out witt a loss. Among these syndicate transactions was the underwriting of the navigation syndicate or International Mercantile Ma rine.
 MT. Hughes drew from the witness that there was an aggregate of four million the New York Life paid J. F. Morgan & Co., on this joint account" MT. Hughes then took up a sale item dated Decem- Der s1. 1903 of $S00OoO of International Mercantile Marine stock. MT. Randolph replying tc MT. Hughes said this sale was made to ]. P. Morgan & Go. MT. Hughes continued his inquiry into the matter, and asked:

The New Swedish Flag.

Sweden presented a unique spectacle yes
terday in celebrating the hosting of the
new national flag of that country minus
the emblem of partnership with Norway.
The occasion was marked by all the signs
of a popular rejoicing. Guns were fired the
people chcered and saluted the flag and a
holiday spirit pervaded the atmosphere. Yet
this ceremony marked the formal separa-
ton of Sweden from its national associate
of many years against which some of the
leaders OF the state had protested even to
the point of menaeing war with Norway.
In truth. there was every reason to re-
ioice, conditions being as they were. 1t
was inevitable that Norway should with
draw from her co-statehood bargain. The
two members of the union had for years
fallen into disagreement. There had been
mo real coalition of spirit between them
for generation at least. The partnership

flag that stands for unified, compact
national organization is infinitely better
than one that stands for badly knit dual
kingdom. Thus the new flag of Sweden,
which revives memories of the old days
when Sweden was homogeneous national
ity, is welcomed with hearty applause And
this applause means much for the future
OF the state. 1t signifies that there Is a

Religious Differences in Russia.

An ugly feature of the Russian situation
Is the disposition of mobs in some cities to
turn on the Jews. Reports have been re-
cefved from several points telling of crowds
looting and beating residents of the Jewish
quarters. In one case the mob marched i'm
d body to the cathedral and there solemnly
participated In a religious service before
descending upon the unfortunate represen-
tatives of another faith. thus giving the
demonstration the sinister aspect of holy
warfare" in miniature
The Russian government stands pledged
To protect the followers of all faiths. and #
Is most unfortunate that its difficulties. al
ready great. should be increased by this
outbreak of religious prejudice. 1t is I'M
just at this juncture to recall in ATTEMPTED
justification or excuse the fact that the gov
crnment is primarily responsible for the
anti-Jewish feeling 1t is true that the St
Petersburg authorities might have pre-
vented the klshineff massacre and other
tanatcal outbreaks of q similar character

clearly responsible for the outrages But it
Is also true that there has been a change in

that the pledges OF freedom. political and

but 1t is willing now to give the car a chance

Of bringing peace to Russia is through a.

The terms of the recent manifesto may not
please all Russians But the beginning is
encouraging, and to the extent that fac
