Bryan and Hearst.

Mr.. Bryan is supporting Mr.. Hearst for
governor of New York, but when asked
about Hearst and 1908 he answers: Wait
One thing at a time"
There are democrats In New York who
could advise Mr.. Bryan to his benefit in
this matter. An experience entities them
to speak and be heard. They adopted the
lesurely gait with Mr.. Hearst and. poor
things, where are they now?
Last spring and in the early summer the
anti-Hearst democrats were well persuaded
they had Mr.. Hearst about where they
wanted him. He had bolted Mcclellan last
year. and was now organizing a new party,
and those two facts. they insisted, deprived
him of all consideration as a democrat. He
was no longer democrat, and at most
could but defeat the party In this years
contest by running as an Independent can
dfdate for governor. They expected him to
make the race, and did not doubt that by
doing he would put an end to himself
politically.
Rendered comfortable and confident by
this feeling, Mr.. Mcclellan, one Of the men
to whom the anti-Hearst people looked for
leading, spent his vacation In Europe stroll
ing through art galleries, and sampling
good roads with his bicycle. It would be time
enough to take up politics and get things
in shape for the democratic state conyen-
ton when the heat of summer had passed.
He was gone six weeks, and on the eve of
sailing for home sounded by cable what he
intended as keynote by declaring for
Jerome for governor. And he took shin
with the idea probably that he would land
at home to find the Jerome boom for the
nomination invincible Alas for the calcu-
All this time Mr. Hearst had been busy az
a bee. with his eye not only on an indie
pendent nomination for governor, but on
capturing the democratic party as we'll An
army OF his runners was covering the state,
from the Battery TO Buffalo, stirring up the
voters and getting them In line for the
great Hearst day In the morning And the
work was SO thoroughly done that when
Mr.. Mcclellan and, Mr.. Jerome reached
Buffalo they found themselves two poor
boys at frolic. with Mr.. Hearst in com
plete control of the festivities.
Mr.. Bryan may think that 1908, being two
years away. need not now be considered
But, good, easy man. he should consult Mr.
Mcclellan, who knows the danger of put
ting things off where Mr.. Hearst is con-
cerned. Sufficient unto no one day Is the
Hearst thereof. Every day is a Hearst day
so far as the Hearst calculations and ac-
tivities co. and in the Hearst camp not only
first but a second term in the White
House may be found inspiring the hopes of
his followers for him.

Trains on Drawbridges.

All the known circumstances of the At

one prime cause of disaster, the lack or

TO come to a full stop before crossing a
drawbridge. The suggestion has been adj

by many disasters. and 1t Is time that II

Some years ago a loaded passenger ex-
press train plunged at full speed into the
Los COD river, Connecticut. through an open

the worst in the history of American rail-
reading. Immediately laws were passed in
connecticut and New York compelling all
trains TO be brought to a stop at draws.
Other states followed the example but evil

New Jersey, or If on the books It is dsre-

1t is to be hoped that the lesson taught hv

safe rule is based upon the proposition that

The President and Mr. hughes.

OF course the President Is for Mr.. Hughes.
The nomination owed much to his influ-
cree. and naturally he wants to see his
work approved at the polls. It Is not as ii
the President should send message to this
state or that. New York Is the state Of has
birth and residence, and his right to speak
In matters there Is as good as that OF any
other citizen. And Mr.. Root enters the
campaign by the same token. He too Is a
citizen OF New York. and properly Is inter-
ested In the local tickets of his party. The
point. therefore, that the national admins
tration is interfering and that Mr.. Hughes
Is the administrations candidate Is not well
taken. No parallel runs between the Fol-
ger campaign and this one They are UNI
Hike in several particulars, and especially as
respects the manner =, which the two NOM
nations were made. No flaw whatever ap-
pears in Mr.. Hughes credentials.

The Apartment House Lesson.
from the Pittsburg Dispatch

Er0m the PIttSDurg UlspdtCn9
The loss of life and injury in the burning
of the chamber of commerce building of
Kansas City, Kan. which was used as an
apartment house, carry strong lesson
with regard to that class Of structures that
ought not to be ignored.
Apartment houses by their character con-
centrate larger number Of people within
q single structure than the equivalent in
dwellings. This building is stated to have
contained q hundred rooms. It's construc-
ton was brick and stone. and Of better
character than the ordinary apartment
building. Yet it burned with a suddenness
that cut of the stairway and destroyed
nearly O score of lives.
The laws rightly require such struc-
lures to have rear fire escapes as well az
front stairways. Certainly, If they are
not to be made freproof. as many Of them
safety should be strictly observed.

From the New York Herald.
"A Patriotic American" through the coll
umn of letters from Herald readers this
morning argues that it should not be neces-
sary to write ID. c." after the name Of our
capital, Washington.
He points out that no one finds 1t neces-
sary to describe the location of London or
Paris by affixing the county or department,
and after narrating an experience with ca
BILE operators abroad concludes that It
would be more simple and dignified to be
able to wire from any part of the world to
washington, America"
Our correspondent fails to explain how
he would induce surrender of the name by
the big state of Washington. the half dozen
cities of Washington and the various towns,
counties and townships, numbering more
than two hundred in all parts Of the Union,
proudly named for the Father of His Coun-
try. One London" and one Paris will do
well enough for little places like England
and France. but when it comes to Wash
ingtons In this mighty continent Of ours
no, we guess ID. c." will have to stay.

A LAYER STORY.

Fairmount, w. Va. March 22.-Fif- teen men are known to be dead, twenty five injured and from twenty five to seventy-five missing and be- lieved to be dead as the result of an explosion of gas in the shaft Of the Century Coal company at Century. a small mining town south of Fairmount. on the BellingtOn and Buckhannon branch ot the Baltimore and Ohio.
 The explosion took place al 4: 30 this afternoon, but owing to the telephone wires being put out of commission by the high winds of today details are lacking. The names of the victims, six of whom are known to be foreigners, were not secured at a late hour tonight. The Century mine, owned by Shaw Brothers of Baltimore. is one ot the largest independent operations t1 northern West Virginia.
 over 25O men are employed daily in the shaft. and had the explosion been an hour earlier the loss of life would have been appalling. As it is, there were but a few remaining in the shaft, the main body of the miners having quit work for the day.
 The giant fan which furnished air for the shaft was partially wrecked by the force of the explosion, but was re- paired immediately and within an hour after the accident Superintendent Jas. Ward had a relief gang in the mine.

Washington.

Attachment of the Senate Measure to One
 of Speakers FavOrite Appropriation Bills
The Bill goes Conference the Appointment of the Senate End of Which May Occasion an Exciting Tilt Between Senators Foraker and Beveridge Today.

Washington. Mar. 22.-C Special b. The general belief is that there will be statehood for Oklahoma, but it is certain that if it comes, it will come over the dead bodies-figurative speaking-of the speaker and his lieu tenants. If they ultimately consent it will be when they have no resources at their command to prevent the in evitable.
 There is no compromise in the make up of the conference committee. If it yields. it will be to the pressure of the senate, and nothing else. All eyes are now once more directed on the latter body.
 An interesting fight is expected on the floor of the senate tomorrow. Sen ator Foraker today asked that the matter of appointing conferees go over until tomorrow. This means that ne is clearing his decks for a grapple with Senator Beveridge. The latter will insist that the complexion of the senate conference committee shall re- fleet the attitude of the committee on territories, while the former will ask that the makeup of the committee to be appointed by the presiding officer shall harmonize with the majority of the senate itself on the statehood question: ana that will be the bone or contention over which both sides will Wrangle tomorrow. MT. Beveridge de- clares that he will fight Senator For aker's effort to control the makeup of the committee to the bitter end.
 When statehood does come. if It comes, it will be when the senate plays some trump card that the house lead CTS can not take. It may come at the end of an exhaustive conference eX- tending over weeks or it may come in the nature of a parliamentary coup. There is talk of such a coup, and the senate statehood bill may be attached to an appropriation which will tie il up with the fate of a measure that the house can not afford to defeat.

 Rivalry or the acquisition of special spheres of influence. it is urged, would thus be avoided. The suggestion is President Roosevelts, who considers that such a combination is most con formabIe to the principles laid down by the conference.

BILL GOES TO CONFERENCE.

Washington. Mar 22-Tne state hood bill was taken from the speaker $ table in the house today, placed in the hands of three selected confeTees, and a request made of the senate for a conference on the disagreeing votes of the two houses. This action was not accomplished without many words and votes. It was developed at once, how ever that there were votes enough to carry out the program of the leaders. Then followed forty minutes of fiery speeches, some of which provoked the amusement of the large attendance of members and the crowded galleries Then came the final vote on the adop- tion of the rule. which 115 members approved and 156 opposed.
 The features of the debate were the remarks by J. Adam Bede. of Minne- sota, during which he told of his ap- provaI of the president, particularly because he had given his daughter in marriage to a member of the house, and not to a degenerate prince or to a representative of that house of de- tention at the other end of the capi- tol.'
 MT. DalzeH, of Pennsylvania, cham pioned the special rule, and Mir. Will Hams. the minority leader, suggested that the republicans would need the special prayers of the chaplain after they had made their records on state hood. Several other short speeches followed.

THE REAL EXTENT
 OF JAPANESE FAMINE
It Is Said that a Million People are

New York. Mar. 22.-The New York state branch of the American National Red Cross today issued a statement as to the famine conditions in Japan
 "The famine in Japan," the statement says, which has been considered for some time moderately serious, is nov known, as the result of reliable private advices received by the New York state Red Cross, to be one of the most terrible starvation emergencies of modern times. The failure of the rice crop, which at one time was believed to be limited to certain places in the northern provinces, has been found to be general in these parts of Japan. and conservative estimates place the num- Der of starving Japanese at from S0O, 900 to 10000 600 persons. For this there is no relief in sight until next October when the next harvest will be obtain able. The sum of S16,000,000 will be required to save the Japanese country people,
