NO CORPORATE DOMINATION,
Bryan Says Masses Are Com
ing to the Front After
Many Years.

Des Moines, April 3.-William J.
Bryan was the guest Of honor at the
Jefferson banquet here of the Iowa
Democracy, which was planned largely
for the purpose of beginning the reor-
ganization Of the Democratic party in
this state.
"Back to the people" said Mr.. Bry-
an, sis the phrase that best describes
the tendency which is manifesting it.
self in the nation and in most of the
states. For q period Of years the ten
dency was toward corporate DONNA
ton and the voice of the people grew
weaker and weaker in comparison with
the influence OF money. But the tide
has changed and we see evidences ev-
erywhere of the determination on the
part Of the masses to assert themselves
in the management of the parties and
in the conduct of the government.
Evidence of independence.
In support of these statements Mr..
Bryan cited the agitation in favor Of
primary laws in Iowa, Wisconsin, ILL
nois, Minnesota and elsewhere, and the
passage of such laws in some of the
states. He cited further the recent &C.
ton of a Republican legislature in
Kansas in defying the Standard Oil
Company and the general agitation in
favor of the government regulation and
control of railroads, and the steps taken
by congress to this end.
Continuing, Mr.. Bryan said in part:
public sentiment is gradually crys-
talizing on the proposition that the peo-
pie have right to have what they
want in government and this l need not
tell you is the Democratic position.
'This tendency to restore to the peo-
pie their lost rights anu put them in
possession of their own affairs, is not
going to stop with the trust question or
with the railroad question.
cit will be applied to the tariff ques-
ton. 1t will put an end to the system
that has been in vogue for quarter of
q century under which the manufac-
turers have been permitted to write
the schedules and determine the
amount Of collections that they must
take from the people through the oper-
alton OF high tariff laws. The appi-
cation of this principle will bring to-
gether the capitalist and the laborer.
Even the financial question which has
only been overshadowed by the ques-
ton of monopoly but has lessened in
importance by the increased volume OF
money-this question will also feel the
pulse Of the movement.
s'Back to the people.
"The doctrine that few hnanc1ers
can safely be permitted to dictate the
financial policy Of the nation will be
overthrown with the overthrow of the
doctrine that he railroad magnates can
safely be allowed to control the traffic
of the nation or trust magnates the In
dustries Of the country"

that the terrorists have succeeded in

Disorder in Caucasus.
Official advices report continued dis
orders in the Caucasus. Within the
mast week peasants have looted and
burned public Offices in many villages
in the Gore district. sacked schools

The dilatory tactics of the govern
ment in celebrating the scheme of pop

imperial rescript of March tends to
intensity the acuteness of the coming
crisis, as the liberals are firmly con-

OPINION IN MERGER CASE.
Decision Formally Handed Down BY
Chief Justice.

Washington. April An the su-
preme court Of the United States yes
terday, the chief justice handed down
the opinion of the court in the case of
Hartman vs.. the Northern Securities
Company, the decision of which was
announced several weeks ago. The
motion for the immediate issuance of
the mandate was denied, the date set
for issuance being fixed for April Is.
After stating the case at length the
chief justice said:
'In the present case complainants
seek the return of property delivered to
the securities company, pursuant to an
executed contract of sale, on the
ground Of the illegality of that con-
tract, but the record discloses no spe-
oial considerations Of equity, justice
or public policy which would Justify
the courts in relaxing the rigor Of the
rule which bars recovery.
"The circuit court decree and the
action of the attorney general Of the
United States puts at rest any question
that the ratable distribution resolved
on was in violation of public policy,
and it is clear enough that the delivery
to complainants Of majority Of the
total Northern Pacific stock and q rata
BILE distribution of the remaining assets
to the other securities stock holders
would not only be in itself inequitable,
but would directly contravene the OBJ
ject Of the Sherman anti trust law and
the purposes Of the government suit.
"The Northern Pacific system, taken
in connection with the Burlington sys-
tenn, is competitive with the Union Pa
cific system, and, it seems obvious to
us, the entire record considered, that
the decree sought by complainants
would tend to smother that competi.

Stuart l.. PiersOn, the Kenyon Col

railroad bridge at Gambler, Ohio, on the
night of Oct. %, when he was being
initiated into the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity, was bound hand and foot when
he was run over and killed by loco

the young man to the rails are not

THE GIANT GORILLA.
May Be New Species of AnhropoId,
at Least, a New Variety.

They are showing in Paris the pho
tograph of giant gorilla which was
recently killed on the Sanga river,
one of the northern tributaries of the
Congo. The French say they have
undoubtedly discovered a new variety
Of gorilla, which differs chiefly in its
enormous size from those found in
Gaboon and other coastal regions of
the French Congo.
This gorilla weighed $50 Kilograms
or more than 200 pounds. and was
seven and one-half feet in height It's
body placed sitting against a tree
was as high as that OF an ordinary
native standing by its side The ami
NAL was killed near Uessu, the chief
station on the River Sanga, and was
one of three gorillas living together
in the forests. They had been seen
several times at a distance, and Tor
some time their movements had been
made known by the imprint of their
very large feet upon the ground.
Mr.. e. t. Hamy writes that others
of these enormous gorillas have been
seen within the last year in the up
per valleys of the LON and the Sanga
rivers. On one occasion they seemed
to be on the point of attacking a
caravan, when a rife shot induced
them to retreat, apparently without
injury. Letters recently received
from white men at German and
French trading stations assert that
the existence of this new anthropoid
of most unusual stature has been
demonstrated in the forests border
ing the frontier between the Gamer
oons and the French Congo. White
stations have only recently teen es-
tablished in this region, which until
now has been very little known.
Mr.. Eugene Brussaux, who sent the
photograph to Paris, says that an eX-
animation of the head of the animal,
and particularly of it's skull, face
and ear, seems to show conclusively
thai it belongs to the gorilla family,
but is differentiated from the gorilla
of Gaboon by its enormous size.
The external appearance is that OF
the true gorilla. The breast and
stomach are almost bare, but the
shoulders and thighs are covered
with long, thick hair.
The animal reached the enormous
breadth of three and half feet
across the shoulders. 1t took eight
porters to bring the body to the sta
ton. Mr.. Dupont, the administrator
at Uessu, writes that he intends to
send the skeleton to Paris. Some
scientific men in Paris who have eX-
amined the photograph and learned
these particulars think that the ami
NAL is not new species, but is a
variety of the gorilla rarely now met
for the first time.
Soon after this information was re-
ceived a letter from the French Con-
go said that another of these enor-
nous animals had just been killed
by Senegalese soldiers near Bayanza
on the Sanga.-New York Sun.

Nelson, as usual. had hoisted several
flags lest one should be shot away
The enemy showed no colors until late
in the acdon, when they began to feel
the necessity of having them to strike
For This reason the Santissima Trini-

The admirafs secretary, Mr.. Scott,
was one of the first who fell; he was
killed by a cannon shot while convers-

double-headed shot struck a party of
mariners, who were drawn up on the
poop, and killed eight of them; upon
which Nelson Immediately desired
Captain Adair to dispense his men
round the ship, that they might not
suffer much from being together.
The master was ordered to put the
helm TO port, and the Victory ran on
board the Redoubtable, just as her

French ships received her with a
broadside; then instantly let down her

and recovered the sword, and then fell
insensible to the bottom of the boat.
Eventually the arm was amputated
and shortly afterward Nelson returned
to England on leave of absence.
Battle of the Nile.
The next great incident in Nelson's
career was the campaign and battle Of
the Nile. The British government had
found it impossible to make peace ex-
cert on impossible terms, and there
fore decided upon distinctly offensive
campaign against France, and to Nell
son, on the urgent recommendation of
the first Lord of the Admiralty, Earl
Spencer, the duty was assigned of di-
recting naval operations in the Med
iterranean. After long chase Nelson
succeeded in cornering the French
fleet in the Bay Of Aboukir. The
French admiral had anchored his feet
behind a series of dangerous shoals.
The Frenchman did not for a moment
believe that the British fleet would
follow. The situation, however, was
one that appealed acutely to Nelson's
love OF daring.
For many preceding days, Nelson
had hardly taken either sleep or food;
he now ordered dinner to be served
while preparations were being made
for the battle. AS his officers rose
from the table to take their separate
stations. he said to them:
Before this time tomorrow I shall
have gained a peerage or Westminster
Abbey"
Nelson took his feet in after the
Frenchmen, and annihilated the naval
power Of France in an engagement
which he directed throughout with

| ton. In the afternoon the wind
changed and the fleeing fleet again
changed it's course. this time to the
southwest. Nelson signaled to Black
wood that he expected him to keep
sight Of the enemy. At daybreak on

tinctly seen from the Victory's deck,

| by Nelson to bear down in two lines,
and the feet ret sail. Collingwood in
the Royal Sovereign led the lee line of
thirteen ships and the Victory led the
weather line of fourteen.
Blackwood went on board the Vic
tory about 6. He found Nelson in
good spirits, but very caim-not in
that exhilaration which he had felt
upon entering the battle at Aboukir
and Copenhagen. He knew that his
own life would be particularly aimed
at, and seems to have looked for death
with almost as sure an expectation as
for victory.
Villeneuve, the French admiral, was
skillful seaman. He formed his
fleet in a double line, every alternate
ship being about a cables length to
wind7vard Of her second ahead and as
tern. Nelson, certain of a triumphant
issue to the day, asked Blackwood
what he should consider as victory
That officer answered that, consider
ing the handsome way in which battle
was offered by the enemy, their appar-
ent determination for a fair trial of
strength and the situation Of the land,
he would consider it glorious result
If fourteen were captured. Nelson re-
piled: Il shall not be satisfied with
less than twenty" Soon after Mel
son asked Blackwood if he did not
think there was signal wanting
Captain Blackwood made answer that
he thought the whole fleet seemed
very clearly to understand what they
were about These words were scarce
ly spoken before that signal was made
