He Saw Nothing.

Charles NJ. Schwab. in an address at
Loretto, praised resourcefulness.
"The resourceful man." he said lets
nothing discourage him. In the most

which turns the very untowardness of
things into help. .... ...... .-.

FIRE IN THE SUBWAY
PAssENGEHs IN NEW YORK ARE
 TERRIFIED.
sixth Car of Train Catches and Women and Men Make Wild Stampede For the Streets
 Above.

New York. Sept. 1-There, were excit- ing scenes in the subway last night as the result of fire on a southbound express train at the 14th Street Sta ton.
 Traffic was tied up for thirty-five minutes and condition became so in tolerable on many of the trains that passengers threatened to attack the conductors and wreck the cars If they were not allowed to disembark and make their way along the tracks in the stations.
 Some of the conductors refused to open the doors or move the trains so that the passengers could get off. and it was only after women had fainted that they gave in and the trains Rroped slowly through the smoke that filled the tube to the stations Many trains were stalled until traffic was resumed and hundreds of passengers had to swelter in the cars.
 Stirling smoke filled the subway from about 23rd street to the brooklyn Bridge Station. Trains yere stalled all along the line and thousands of people sweltered and fumed and choked In the carss
 The fire was caused at the Four teenth Street Station by a short cir cult in the motor box of the sixth car of the train. There was a sharp re- port followed by sheet or blue name, which shot from underneath the car and enveloped the rear platform The motorman heard the report and brought the train to a standstill before the first car had passed the platform.
 The blue flame. which lighted up the subway, scared the passengers: women screamed and tainted while men made a bee line for the doors and fought their way out to the platform.
 The guards and station men had to look after the women and get them out of the burning car. Those who had tainted and the hysterical ones. had to be carried out bodily.
 The current in the third rail was quickly burned off and the train crew fought the fire with sand for two min utes before 1t was under control, The train was started down town.

Some of Them Did Not Appreciate Cow
 ernment 0wnersbip Remarks.
 New York, Sept. 1.-The Times today quotes Governor Blanchard of Louis lana, who Is a member of the Demo- cratic National Committee from his State. as follows regarding MT! Bryan's speech at Madison Square Garden:
 Mfr. Bryan's speech was an able, bold. fearless, courageous exposition of the opinions of a man recognized as leader of the Democratic Party, but 1t should be remembered that Mir. Bry- an did not propose to outline the next platform of the Democratic Party. A good many things may happen between now and the next Democratic National Convention.
 MT. Bryan's speech will undoubtedly please thousands of people in the South, but many will take exception to the part of the speech which had to do with the ownership of railroads by the National Government and the States. So far as I personally am concerned. any opinion I may hold on that ques- ton is purely tentative. I have not studied the question enough for pub licaticn.
 T sat with the members of the Dem- ocratic National Committee and I heard some of them express dissent from Mir. Bryan's views on that question"
 Major E. J. Hale of Fayetteville. N. C., who was one of the members of the Committee on platform at the Chi cago Convention of 189G. said
 We are moving along rapidly in the South. The Democrats of North Car olina have passed resolutions favoring an income tax and a constitutional amendment providing for the direct election of the United States Senators. But Mir Bryan's Ideas on Government ownership were a stickler for me. l could not quite digest that part of his speech.
 T think the chief strength of Mir Bryan with the old line Democrats is due to the fact that with new ideas he combines a broad mind and seeing eye which render him the real con servative force in the party at the pres- ent time and that we had better sup port him for fear tho leadership might pass into the hands of some one far more radical than he. In the main I liked his speech.y

MIR. BRYAN IN NEWARK.
Says ROOsevelt's Popularity is Due To
 His Democracy.

Newark, N J., Sept William Jen- nings Bryan was given a warm recept- ion on his brief visit to Newark to- day The streets through which he passed on the way to the Military Park where he spoke to an audience of fully 10000, were lined and the visitor was cheered continuously throughout the ten minutes ride. He told his auditors that he could speak to them only on time that really belonged to Jersey City.
 But I remember that Essex County gave me a majority of 10000 in 1900, so just had to come to see you" said he. and I hope that by coming here could help a Democratic to be elected to the United State Senate over Sena- tor Dryden and to help two Democrats to Congress over Republicans"
 MT, Bryan declared that the strength of the Republicans was rapidly waning and that the Democratic success at the polls was not far distant.
 "In 1896 they won a tremendous ma iority." said he and they also had very respectful lead over us in 1900"
 And they'll do 1t again" shouted a man to the right of the stand. Instant Iv half a dozen policemen had seized the ihterrupter and were rushing him through the park, when MT. Bryan cried out;
 Don't put that man Out' ohiSSl S' don't put him out Hes the man m trying to reach"
 continuing he said that the Repub- Iicans now admit that if Presiden- tial election were to be held at this time they have only one man who could have any chance of success, and he Is a man with all the great prestige of the Presidential office.
 "He would have that chance only be- cause he has followed the Democratic platform." said MT. Bryan.
 Roosevelt has not an atom of pop ularity that he does not owe to the fact that he differs from the party which he leads, and If Roosevelt can become as popular as he is by occasion ally doing something Democratic. what would be the popularity of a President who always, is a Demoorat?"
 MT. Bryan discussed the tariff and the trusts at length. He said that If the tarim is to be reformed it must be done by those who believe in tariff reform. He declared that while he Is willing to give Republicans credit for what they have done toward the reg

INTERVENTION IS HOPED FOR

Havana, Sept. 1.--Neither side can whip the other. Is the concise state- ment now heard everywhere in Ha- vana, and 1t may also be fairly con- strued to be the growing conviction of thoughtful persons throughout tho Island. In Havana at least this con- viction has led among all unparalleled persons to expressions of an ardent hope that thes prerogative of tho Piast amendment will soon be utilized by the United States for the purpose of efSec- tua1ly putting an end to condition that everybody believes is otherwise bound to grow more and more tntoler- able
 Nobody apears to believe that the in- surgents will take Havana although this is not regarded as impossible, es. peciaIly when it is considered that CO., operation in such a movensant assured- ly would come from within. Every body comedies that the Government troops can continue their record of victories in almost all open fights with the insurgents. but how the Govern- rIent, with the forces now at it's conn mand, and In view of the small num- ber of enlisted men, can ever prevail against its enemies who fight In the same old method of guerilla warfare. Is a conundrum which nobody pretendS to solve.
 Tmsurrec1aOn Es Growing.
 That the insurrection Is growing con- stantly is undeniabiy evidenced every day and the decree of pardon recent- 1y extended by the Government has brought no appreeiable change fin the situation.
 One of the few Americans who Joined the insurgent ranks came fin to Havana tonight. He has been Q farmer in Cuba for several years past and presumably is reliable source of information He told the correspondent of the Associated Press that the 15.000 insurgents now south of Artemesa in scattered portions shortly will concentrate with others from the vicinity of Guanajay, and holding the entire width of Eastern Pinar del Ric Province, they will thus control of the situation far better than did the Spanish troops in the dssrs or the famous trocha. and at presnseiy inc same points. The insurgents also have taken cabanis and Bahat Honda on the north coast of Pipar del Rio province and according 10 conserya- tive statements they have easily ~ per cent of the people of the district with them.

 The Republican nominee for Cover nor, John I. Worthington, has given oue no estimate of the probable vote. There is no nominee for U. S.

Speech of Bryan.
 New York, Sept. 1.--William J. Bryan today received from the American Anti- Trust League the following letter en- dorsing his speech of Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, especially that portion referring to q war on trusts and the Government ownership of railroads: @ >. x. :. Hon. William Jennings Bryan:
 "on behalf of the American Anti- Trust League and expressing as we firmly believe the sentiments of the great majority of good cttiEens who are opposed alike to the evils of nfonopo- lies and the dangers of socialism. we welcome you home and express to you our gratification and appreciation for all of your great speech of Thursday night at Madison Square Garden and more especially for your invlncible stand in favor of not the regulation but the destruction of criminal trusts and for the Government ownership of railroads.
 we hold that the experience of all civilized nations has firmly established the principle that the maintenance of highways Is one of the chief functions of Government or of the few great at- tributes of sovereignty of which no state can divest itself without endan- dering the very existence of the Gov ernment and utterly destroying that great principle of equality of rights which Is the very cornerstone of the American Republic. We rejoice in your courage and are proud of the ability of which you are teaching the doc- trines of Jeffersonian Democracy and tho principles of the American Anti Trust League. We recognize your lead ership in America for the coming bat tie for the achievement of the last and the greatest of the rights of man, namely. the economic liberty of all men and women. We pledge you our hearty and enthusiastic support and bid you God speed in the good work.
