BRYAN AND NEW YORK.
He Will Not Be in the C.mp.,.

He Will Not Re in the Campaign. Lincoln Special
 Mir. Bryan Is not likely to take part in the New York campaign in behalf of MT. Hearst. Notwithstanding the fact that he announced Some time ago that 1t was likely he would make some speeches in New York. no arrange ments for them have been made.
 Next week MT. Bryan starts East, going to Indiana for three days and to Ohio for the next three. The next four days have not been filled and the last four days before election are to be de- voted to Nebraska. AS 1t will take one of these days to return 70 Nebraska and another Is Sunday, the most that Bryan could give New York would be two days, the first of last week of De- tober.
 Nobody seems to know whether MT. Bryan has backed gently away from the Hearst campaign or whether Hearst did not ask him to come to his aid.

DISAGREE ON PIPE LINES.

Straw Without Result.

Washington, June IS. - In the alb
sence Of Representative Sherman, of
New York, who was out of the city. the
conferees on the railroad rate bill were
in session lees than an hour today, and
reached no decision on any subject.
The pipe line amendment was dis
cussed, Senators Elkins and Tillman
opposing any change in the provision
making them common carriers and con-
tending that most of the companies
that have protested the amendment are
subordinate companies of the Standard
Oil company.
Opponents of the amendment pro-
posed that the amendment which pro-
hibits common carrier from carrying
commodities it produces be changed to
read: "railroad carrying commodities
it produces, in order that this amend.
ment shall not conflict with pipe lines,
which are constructed for the sole pur'
pose of carrying their productions. Il
this we're done, they agreed to support

lively that the governments allegation
thar the trouble began in consequence

ridiculous falsebood. Bialystok lie still
in the hands of the drunken Cossacks,
who are determined that no Jews shall
be allowed to escape or go unrobhed.
"The military have deserted the rail-
way station and every passing train is
held up and the passengers plundered.
Panic reigns in the neighbor'ng vii,
laees, which fear they will be the next
object OF attack. Numerous German
firms and individuals are among the
sufferers at Bialystok and cause the

from Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska
points. But one hailed from Connec-
ticut, while another gave his address
as South Carolina.
The Northern Pacific brought in

Congress Likely to Divert Money
Meant for Irrigation.
use IT TO DRAIN PRIVATE LANDS
Bills Now Pending for North Dakota.
Virginia, North Carolina, Florida
and Other States.

Washington, June 23.-Esrly In the
present session Of congress Senator
Hansbrough, Of North Dakota, intro
duced bill authorizing the expendi-
ture Of tl 900. 900 out OF the national
reclamation fund for draining swamps
In bis state. When the bill went be-
fore thescommittee on irrigation 1t was
found that every acre TO be benefited
was in private ownership, and the bill.
II enacted, would not open to entry 9
single acre Of public land. Notwitn-
standing these disclosures, the senate
committee ordered q favorable report
out Of courtesy because Hansbrough il
member of the committee. 1t was
then stated that majority Of the COM
mittee believed the bill bad one, and
| II wss srtaed by several senators that ii
would never be permitted to pass the
senate. Nevertheless the bill did pass
and is now before the house, where its
chances Of passing seem equally good.
4 bill 10 now pending TO divert ST.
900, 900 from the reclamation fund to
drain the Dismal swamp in Virginia
and North Carolina; another is pending
10 drain the Everglades Of Florida;
only few days ago bill was intro
duced to take another So, ,000, 900, and
expend 1t in draining the big swamps
Of Arkansas and Missouri, and, in sd-
dition, there are two bills pending for
the drainage Of swamps in Minnesota,
and three general bills providing for
the government drainage OF swamps in
al parts of the United States.
II the Hansbrough bill passes, it will
open the way for these other measures
Of similar character, and it will be only
short time before the greater portion
Of the reclamation fund, instead Of be-
ing used for irrigating the desert lands
Of the West, as originally intended
will be expended In reclaiming swamps
In states that have contributed not g
cent TO the reclamation fund and never
will contribute. This legislation is q
rank injustice to the West, which is
counting on using its ewn public land
receipts for the reclamation of its des-
erts, and unless somebody calls halt.
the work OF government irrigation will
soon be brought to 3 standstill.
It must be remembered that, once
this precedent is established, it will be
easy for delegates from the East and
South to combine and force through
bills for the drainage OF the swanps in
the non.a.id states, and il the East and
South ever do combine for this purpose,
the West will never have enough votsi
to check the onslaught.
