Trust League, today received a letter
from Mr.. Bryan, written at Constan-
tinople, in which he accepted the in
yitation of the league to be present
at the reception, which will be under
the auspices of the league. 1t is eX-
pected that Mr.. Bryan will visit Lon
don in time to speak at a Fourth OF
July celebration, and will arrive in
this city about the first of August
Some states have already promised to
send delegations and it is expected
that a large contingent of Missouri
Democrats will attend the reception,
which is intended to be a national
affair. The executive committee OF
the league will call upon the differ
ent commercial travellers organiza-
tions, asking their cooperation.
A correspondent at Madrid makes
a calculation of the cost of the we'd
ding, and arrives roughly at total
expenditure of $1O,OOG,OGG, says a
London dispatch. He puts the out
lay for decorations by the municipal
ity and private citizens at $125,OOO.
Having regard for the necessity OF
every woman invited to the wedding
ceremony and the various festivities
eouipping herself with an elaborate
new robe, ornaments, and in many
cases, Jewels, he believes that not less
that $500, 900 was paid to milliners,
dressmakers and jewellers. He in
stances a Dowager Duchess, seventy
years old, who bought new tiara Tor
$4,000. A majority of the $500 no
blemen and others had to get new
uniforms and court dresses, and the
cost of these is placed at $437,5OO.
The restoration of the royal state
coaches, new harness and trappings
cost more than $150,000. More than
$l,25O,OOO was expended in preparing
and decorating the Pardo Palace, in
cluding the building of new kitch-
ems, in furnishing the Chateau of La
Granja for the honeymoon and in re-
storing the apartments in the palace
at Madrid for the new queen. New
uniforms for the troops and court SER
wants cost $150,0O0. In addition to
all these there is the outlay for the
bull fight, a military review, and the
various fetes, which it is known will
amount to many thousands of dollars.
Paris, June 6: Ogden Armour
who was interviewed by a correspon-
dent here said: 1T is preposterous to
believe for a moment that the great
Chicago firms with hundreds OF mil
lions of dollars invested in their busi-
ness, are or could be guilty or the
sensational charges against them. II
is obvious that 1t is to their interests
to conduct their business in the
cleanest and most scientific manner
possible, with the best quality of ma
terial and the most modern apph-
ances. 1 know nothing of the condi-
tions prevailing in some of the small
packing houses. No sane man would
ever believe the newspaper stories
that have appeared on the subject.
The whole of these So-called reVela-
tions have been directly engineered
by Mr.. Roosevelt The truth is that
Mr.. Roosevelt has strong personal
animus against the packers of Chi
cago and is doing and will do every
thing in his power to discredit them
and their business. The reason is too
obvious to require explanation to any
body knowing anything of American
politics and American public life. l
consider the system of inspection in
the American packing industry to be
fully adequate, but even supposing
that some changes were necessary
do you suppose the best way to go
about the matter was to boom news
paper sensation? If what Mr.. Roose-
Welt wanted was only change and
Improvement in the inspection surely
the most straightforward way would
have been to have told us so and TO
have required us to make whatever
alterations he thought necessary"
Jefferson City. Mo. June 5: What
is generally regarded as the most
significant feature of the Democratic
state convention held here today, was
the pointed and absolute endorsement
of VIM. Jennings Bryan for the pres
idency in 1908 by David r. Francis of
St. Louis, former governor and the
secretary Of the interior in President
Cleveland's cabinet. Former Gov. d.
r. Francis was invited to address
the convention. He spoke, in part:
IT wish to ask this convention to send
its congratulations to the national
Democracy on the disappearance or
our differences. There are no differ
ences between US now. In 1904, what
is known as the conservative element
of our party asked that it be allowed
to make the platform and name the
candidate. Right literally did the
radical faction concede the honor to
the conservative element. You know
the result. Now another campaign is
approaching. Those of us who be-
long to what has been the conserva-
tive faction would not be magnani-
NOUS, worthy Democrats. if we did
your candidate and your platform
this time The differences that have
divided the Democrats exist no long
er." Gov. Francis described Bryan
as "a sincere lover of humanity and
a patriotic citizen of the United
States" He eulogized both Bryan and
Cleveland amid wild cheers. Govern
or Folk also spoke, declaring that
Bryan would be nominated for pres
ident in 1908 and would be elected.
He said the principles which Bryan
advocated in 1896 were then con-
sidered anarchistic. but now are con-
sidered the acme of patriotism. For
mer Governor Dockery spoke in sim
liar vein.
There is apparently no limit to the
lengths to which stock jobbers Will
go in the carrying of their points
There is now good reason to believe
that the recent riot at Cananea over
