BRYAN TALKS OF POLICIES
Democratic Leader Draws n Distin.-
tiOn Between Democracy ard
Socialism.


BERLIN, June 11.-''This is too sudden "
said William J. Bryan, with laugh, when
he was told today OF the adoption by re-
cent state democratic conventions OF reso-
lutions favoring his nomination for the
presidency OF the United States in 1905
This is the first announcement OF this
news to me-" Mr.. Bryan continued. Il
have been or the main caravan route for
some time and have been absorbed In what
l have been seeing and DOING
Mr.. Bryan had been moving so rapidly
since he left Vienna on Friday that letters
and telegrams for him did not reach him
until today. AS to the possibility OF his
nomination he had little to say, declaring
it was too early to speak Of that ques-
ton. but taking up the subject of the
political requirements OF the day, he said
Before leaving home I tried 10 distin-
guish between democracy and what can
properly be called socialism. Democracy
recognizes competition as legitimate and
tries to protect the competitive principle
from attack. Socialism sees competition as
an evil to be eliminated by public owner
ton and and distribution While as this G distinction
between democracy and socialism should
not be overlooked, the democratic platform
not merely of opposition to the republican
policies or socialstic ideas. In our fight
for the absolute elimination Of private mo,
corporations in general it Is neces-
sary that the party shall be free from
any suspicion OF alliance with the cor
porate interests that have been dominating
American politics. To this end campaign
contributions must be limited to-those who
have the public interest to advance. I
trust that public sentiment win require all
parties to keep their books open, 20 that
] hereafter no party will be under private
obligations to shield eorporate ofenders
Abiding to conditions in the meat indus

| The Beef trust is not different In charac-
ter and methods from other trusts The

| Is TO increase the price OF a product and

Herman Ridder OF the New York Stats
ZeitunE and Mr. Bryan had a long talk to-
day on the political situation in the United
| States.
Mr. Bryan will leave here for St. Peters
burg tomorrow, and from there will visit
| Sweden and Norway. He will arrive In
! England early in July and will then visit
France, Italy and Switzerland. He expects

conferences which win begin at Rio Janeiro

seem to have spurred the southern repub-
lies to participation in The Hague confer
ence, In spite OF the protests they voiced
when Russia suggested that early this fall
would be a good time for The Hague meet
ing.
Pan-America has declined from the first
TO take any part in The Hague conference.

HEN THAT RIDES HORSEBACK.
Kentucky Fowl Becomes Famous as
 an Equestrienne.

Danville, Ky.-It has remained for Boyd county to produce the most re- markable hen in Kentucky, if not in the entire country, the bird being an equestrienne of such pronounced abil- ity as to seriously jeopardize the life of valuable horse The hen is owned by John B. Stout, who lives in Lex ington avenue. Two years ago he got a number of Plymouth Rock chickens, among them being bullet.
 She at once took up with the horse, dining from the same trough, and finally learned to ride Mir. Stout's buggy horse. The animal became ac. customed to his unusual rider and could never be gotten cut of a jog. Yesterday Fred Vermilion drove his fine harness horse fin from the coun- try and stabled the animal at Stout's. Late in the afternoon. when he went to get him, the hen was found perched on the back of the horse and riding in circle as though she enjoyed 1t. The animal was nearly dead, as he had been whizzing around the lot at a high speed for hours. Although hen, she is strictly fashionable, rides astride, and the horses never go too fast for her.

 CANN|bAL FEAST
MISSIONARY SAW ELEVEN GAIL.

IS WRECKED ON AN ISLAND.
Mics TuthilI, With Others, arc Pursued In Canoe by Party of Savages- Saved in Nick of Time by Ger
 man Gunnoat.

Chicago.-Miss Beulah Logan Tut hill. 30 years of age, ii Methodist m!s. Eionary, whose ancestors were miS. sionaries before her, told the biz Methodist camp meeting on the Des- plaines river how she saw eleven per sons killed and dsvoured by cannibals. She was taken to the Caroline islands when she was six years of age and be. gan her missionary work when she was IT. In 1900 her parents left the Carolinos and went to Sidney, Aus tralla. She remained on the islands for several months, and then she took passage on the steamer Aragui for Sidney. A terrific storm drove the vessel near the island of New Ireland, 200 miles northeast of Australia, and Miss Tuthill was swept overheard She was an expert swimmer and was picked up by some Christian Malays. They were subsequently, wrecked on a sand bar, on which schooner was go- ing to pieces. This bar was two miles of the cannibal islands
 "As the tide began to rise to free us the horror began" she said. "One of our lookouts gave an exclamation of terror. We looked, and there on the shore we saw horde of sayages com ing down the beach--fully 200 of them in full war panoply, armed with shields and spears and heavy clubs.
 They stole down upon the schoon- CT and then attacked it with a rush. The sailors made no resistance. They had concealed themselves in the hope of escaping. but one by one, eleven men In all, they were found, dragged out and killed with a blow on the back of the head with war club. Then they dragged the bodies ashore and prepared for the feast. They beat on tom-toms and strange drums.
 "The victims were laid in a circle on the ground while the savages brought brushwood and great logs for the fires. Then strange thing came.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-08-30

They seemed actually to make a sort of religious ceremony out of this hor- rible affair. They beat their tom- toms and pulled their hair and uttered their weird, guttural cries.
 "The rest is too horrible-how they cooked their human food. how they danced about their victims. how at last they tore the smoking human flesh to pieces with their nails and teeth in a mad orgy. The chief ate first. and then allowed his followers to partake.
 At last. when 1t seemed to me that surely could stand 1t no longer, the savages formed in line and started to march away. The tide had flowed in and we were free. The frightened sailors who had rescued me made haste to pull away.
 But now we were seen. The sav- ages broke their line and rushed to the beach. A score or more of them entered canoe and pursued us. We had a lead of several hundred fathoms. but their canoe, driven by a score of savage arms. fairly leaped through the water.
