STANDING OF THE CLUB,
Chicago Would Tax All PuIImans.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-That Chicago is
the home of all Pullman cars and that
they should be taxed here was the
claim made by Corporation Counsel
Lewis when he attacked the valuation
of the Pullman company before the
board of review. He contended that
the fact that car journeyed from
state to state on regular or irregular
trips did not exempt it from taxation
in Chicago. In addition to demanding
taxation of the cars, Colonel Lewis in
sisted that the company pay taxes on
$22,0O0,O0O of capital stock, $4,000, 900
surplus and back taxes on $1,65O,0O0

Lashes For Jeering at Them

Give Mile. Smirnoff Twenty seven
Lashes For Jeering at Them.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-Intense pop
ular indignation has been created by
the brutal treatment of Mile. Smirnoff,
refined young woman, at the hands
of the crack Chevalier guards.
While squadron of these guards
men was passing along the Nevski
Prospect Mile Smirnoff, who was ac-
companied by another girl, remarked:
"They are as gay as if they had cap
tured Port Arthur
Pedestrians, hearing the remark, re-
peated 1t, and crowd collected and
joined in the jeering. The commander
of the cavalrymen suddenly wheeled
his squadron and gave the command to
charge with drawn whips.
The troopers then charged the crowd,
laying about them right and lift, and
captured Mile. Smirnoff and her com
papion.
Under the direction of an officer the
girls were forced to enter cab and
were driven to the guards barracks,
where Mile. Smirnoff was taken to the
courtyard and given twenty y-seven lash
es with whips. The girls clothing was
cut as if by knives by the wire thongs
of the whips, and her flesh was horri-
bly lacerated.

UNsTlNTED PRAISE FOR BRYAN
Nebraska Democrats Call Him "F:rst
Citizen Of the WorId.'

Citizen of the World"
Lincoln, Neb Aug. 1G.-The Demo
cratic state convention adopted a plat
form which bestows unstlnted praise
on w. J. Bryan, pointing to him as
the leader of Democrats of the nation.
The resolutions as adopted say in part:
eve rejoice at the rapid growth Of
Democratic sentiment throughout the
country and appreciate the compliment
bestowed upon the party when its
principles and doctrines are bodily ap-
propriated by the few progressive lead
ers of the Republican party. We watch
with interest their efforts to force their
party to accept Democratic doctrine,
and we deplore the hopelessness of
their task. To their followers, how
ever, we extend a hearty invitation to
become Democrats in fact, as they are
in spirit, and to join the Democratic
ranks under the leadership of Ameri-
cas- distinguished statesman, William
Jennings Bryan.
1--WE extend to Mr.. Bryan a hearty
welcome home. We rejoice that he
stands today as conspicuous and cen
tral figure in the great moral and po-
litical revolution which is now sweep
ing over the country. While he has
become the first citizen of the world, it
remains for our state to boast that it
gave him political birth and started
him upon the highway of fame and
usefulness"
Shortly after midnight the conven-
ton nominated A. c. Shallenberger of
Alma for governor.

HITS BACK AT BRYAN.
Roger c. Sullivan Asserts Right to Be
on National Committee.

ncSSF ~ 9uttisdn ftSSoFI5 ftiSnk 10 DC
on National Committee.
Chicago, Aug. 16-Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman Roger G. Sulli-
van of Illinois gave out statement,
which he has mailed throughout ILL
nois, in reply to William j. Bryan's
demand that Sullivan resign from the
national committee and his subsequent
assertion that his opposition to Mr.. Sui
Ivan was prompted solely by his be-
lief that Roger Sullivan and John P.
Hopkins had deliberately robbed the
Democrats of Illinois of their political
right"
Judgment as to my Democracy" he
says, rests with the Democrats of the
district in which / live. My title to
membership IN the national committee
has been confirmed by higher au-
thority than Mr.. Bryan.
''In the letters attributed to Mr..
Bryan there is this plain statement:
Mr.. Sullivan was selected as national
committeeman by delegates who We're
not chosen by the convention Ii this
statement is Mr.. Bryan's then he per-
sists in a contention that was declared
by the last Democratic national CON
vention to be misrepresentation. He
cannot in fairness maintain this posi-
tion. 1t is true that the seats of GER
tain of those delegates were contested.
But these contests were not decided
by fraud, and Mr.. Bryan knows it.
'The national convention by a vote
of CAT to 299 conrmed the right of the
legal Illinois delegates to their seats.
Those delegates elected me national
committeeman by vote of 40 to 5.
The national convention again con-
firmed that action. To allege fraud
against my right to a seat in the ma
tional committee is to indict the last
national convention and its leaders for
compounding a felony"
