Washington, Aug. III
A report here is that John Sharp Will
liams, minority leader Oft the House, and
William Jennings Bryan, the peerless
leader, are no longer political allies.
The subject dates back to their meeting
10 London where both we're In atten-
dance on the Inter-parlismentary Union.
Mr.. Williams 80 the story runs, discussed
the political situation with Mr.. Bryan.
They were able to agree on practically all
questions save that of government owner
ship of railroads. The Mississippi states
man warned the Nebraskan against push
ing that subject so far into the fore
ground as to make it an issue. Bryan
is said TO have turned him down with
such emphasis as to seriously offend
the sensitive soulherner. That is why
Williams, instead of waiting one day in
New York to help welcome Bryan, hav-
ing himself arrived only the day before,
hurried away for Yazoo City, Miss,
passing through Washington yesterday.
That is why, it is said, in all interviews
80 readily granted by him, he carefully
avoids reference TO the subject of gov
eminent ownership of railroads.
In exactly the same manner in which
Banker Nipple, of Philadelphia, commit
ted suicide, DIR. James d. Wilson, aged
4S, practicing physician OF this city,
made away with himself this morning.
As in Hipple's case, there was no exterior
mark to indicate that the doctor had
shot himself, the bullet having entered
the mouth and embedded itself in the
skull. The body was found this morn
ing sitting upright in chair near
window 10 the doctors room. Ill health
is supposed to have been the motive for
the deed.
The Department of Justice today re-
ceived telegram dated Valdez, Albsien.
August 80, to the effect that six Jap
anese were convicted on the 29th OF at
tempting to kill four seals on st.
Paurs Island; five others pleaded guilty
OF killing seals at the same place. The re-
naming prisoners were tried and his
case is now before the jury. The Jap
anese we're members of the posching
party that was recently driven off the
island by agents of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. Five of the party
were killed at the time and IL captured.
The right OF boz colt as a pesceable
weapon for organized labor was upheld
today by Justice Stafford, of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia. In
the case of John Bender, local baker,
who sought to enjoin local union No.
.1I8, OF the Bakers and Confectioners'
International Union, from using the
boycott against him because he had at
tempted to maintain au "epen shop,
the court held that the members VI
union "may use the boycott, in the ALB
scence of intimidation and threats, may
refuse to deal with persons employing
non.union labor, and may endeavor to
keep sympathizers from dealing with
persons on the unfair list. " AS it was
admitted by the plaintiff that there had
been no threats or intimidation EN-
ployed, the court dismissed the case
against the union.
The papers in the case of Lieut.. E Ii.
Dunn, who was accused of taking women
aboard the Independence at Mare is
land while he was in temporary charge
of the ship, getting them intoxicated
and creating a disturbance have been
forwarded to the President for review.
This seems, lin all probability, that Lieu
tenant Dunn will be dhchargel from
The service.
Another American owned plantation in
Cuba has been raded by revolutionists.
This time it is the Mercedes es ate. The
raid apparently took place at the same
time as that on the Constancia plantation
and some horses were carried of. Mr..

responding TO the instructions sent TO
him yesterday telling him to make the
necessary repre- .entations to the Cuban
governmental secure protection for these
estates, today cabled the Department
that he had already done so.
Seventeen bids for large quantity of

Hawaii was the banner colony during the
last fiscal year as far as trade with the mair
land was concerned. Her trade with the
United States exceeded that of any other pos
session. Even at that the exports &c this
country decreased on account Of the raw sugar
shipment falling Of Porto Rico is u close
second. while Alaska comes third and the
Philippines next.
