BRYAN MADE BREAK
THIS THE OPINION OF MANY DEM
 OCRATS.
should Have Omitted Reference to Government Ownership of Trunk Line Railroads in His speech
 fin New York.

Washington, Sept. 2.-(Special. )- Representative Clayton arrived here this morning from New York, where he went last week to attend the big demonstration in honor of MT. Bryan. MT. Clayton says the Nebraskan Is surely in fine physical condition and his long address was up to his stan dard as an orator. The gathering was a wonderfully enthusiastic one. Demo- crats from all parts of the country exchanging views.
 The only division in sentiment re- garding the speech that MT Clayton heard was that Bryan might just as well have omitted the reference to government ownership of trunk line railroads As most of them expressed 1t, if Bryan in that part of his speech had confined himself to the claim shat Democrats had driven tho Republicans to adopt their platform n regard to railroads and if the law was not en- forced, then the people of the land might eventually be compelled to adopt snme extreme measures, probably gov- ernment ownership.
 MT Clayton dined this evening with ex-seuatcr and Mrs James L. Pugh, at their residence here. The venera- ble ex-Senator spent the entire sum mer here and is feeling well. MT Clayton will remain in Washington until tomorrow night, when he starts for Eufaula He will not be able to look after any deoertment matters, as the departments on account Of Labor Day will be closed

The output of the prego ent steel plant at Ensley has been ssSS4 ahead for several months to coms 50 that the erection of the new planhs@ill not bring about any over produc,S
 In coal circles there IS a stea.G out put and the pro ucers have nF<trouble l.. disposing of the product If the State Mine Inspectc. IS correct in his argument that If the people will burn the coal, there will be million ton increase in the production this year, as compared to last year." there is no doubt but that the total production for this year will go over thirteen mil lion tons.
 The startling information, given out sast week, trat thu furnace companies would not give employment al their mines to the union miners who had been on strike for two years and long CT. the belief being expressed that such a course was bemg followed be- made to organize the labor in the mines. Is followed by the statement that a large amount of labor Is still being brought to the district from va ious narts where for.iBn'rs are coming in and that not only will the mines be supplied, but that other in- dustries will be furnished foreign la Dor.
 The union miners are considering a proposition or oing to another State where union labor is wanted or where any kind of labor Is needed. The Bir- mingham district could use every miner that applies but the reason given for not employing the union miners ap- pears to the corporation sufficient cause for discriminating against them.

President Palma Will Not Temporfse
 With the Rebels.
 Havana Sept 2-The hopes of those who. on Saturday night, tentatively suggested a proposition of mutual con- cession az a means of ending the re- 'bellion, were shattered today when President Palma called General Ce- breco. one of the proposed Peace Com lnissioners, to the palace. to inform him that the government had no concessions to offer or accept and no intention ether tha fighting the matter through and suppressing the instruction. Gem eral MenocaI. who headed the list CT the proposed Commissioners, sent word to the promoters of the project that he would have nothing to do with If unless he could approach the insur- gents with definite offer of some kind from President Palma. The promoters, however are not entirely encouraged and another meeting may De helo iator'
 The Associated Press learned today from a reliable source that the inner circles of the government had acout reached a tentative understanding that fs the government was unable to con trol the instruction by September 15 It would ask for the assistance of the United States but when this assertion was met with such an emphatic denial as to leave no room for doupting that the government has decided to see the thing through by all the forc@ of arms it can command and abide by the re- suits
 While the publication of the peace project today caused much discussion there was little hope evinced that It would succeed as it was conceded on ali sides that the government. in the present temper of the masses would lose any elections which might result from It. Besides. since the govern ment is unwilling to relinouish the Idea of central government control Of municipalities this also would be se- rious stumbling block tc such set. clement.

SUMMARY OF COTTON CROP Report on Conditions Not
 Agreed. THE WEEK COOL AND DRY Low Temperature Has Not Done
 Serious Damage. Some Picking at All Points, But It Has Become General Only In The
 Southern Districts Of The

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 2.--The Com mercial-Appears weekly summary of crop conditions made up from the re- ports of special correspondents throughout the central States of the cotton belt, is as follows:
 Correspondents are not agreed as to the effects of the past week which was cool and dry. None of them. however. reports serious damage from the low temperature, and, in most instances, the dry weather was boon. though there are sections needing rain. In these dry districts, which are scattered. but most numerous in eastern Mis- sissIppi, some premature opening of the bolls is noted and loss of vital ity in the cotton. Throughout the four States of Alabama. Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas, there has been a material loss from the excei- lent condition prevailing early in Au- gust Shedding continues and the growth in the bottom lands is rank.
 Some picking has been done at all points, but it has not become general except in the southern districts. An other week will witness pretty ger eraI picking.
 Some dissatisfaction is expressed by farmers at present prices. which are considerably below 10 cents on the farms. and where conditions will allow of 1t there will be some holding of early picking.

Nelson fight which will take place at o'clock tomorrow afternoon Among the miners Cans appears to be decided favorite. fhcr- was a de- cided increase in the betting today, dence that for several days. The lar gest individual wager recorded was made by T. j. Riley, lessor of promin- ent mining company.

It is stated that the controlling interest of tho. n ming company will hinge on the resuI: of the fight, Many smaller lsts at oads of 10 to and in some cases 10 to s. w ere made.
 Nehson's manager is not satisfied with the manner in which the betting on the result is being conducted in Goldheld. He goes SO far as to inti- male that a certain clique of San Fran cisco sporting men have something up their sleeves that bodes i'll to Nelson
 Nelson's manager made the follow ing statement tonight concernig his susricions that Nelson would not re- ceive fair play
 "t have notified President Ricks. d of the club, and Sheriff Bradley, of a,y suspicious. and they have assured mc that every protection will be given me tomorrow to guard against possi- ble interference of any sort"
 Beyond taking a very short spin on the country roads during the early morning, Nelson did nothing in the way of training.
 You can inform the wor'1 at large, said his manager. that Nelson weigh ed in today at exactly 131 pounds strip ped and as his fighting togs will weigh less than two pounds see no heces- sity for him doing any more hafe

 Washington. D. C.,
 My dear Mir. stillings:
 I enclose herewith copies of certain circulars of the Simplified Spelling Board which can be obtained free from the board at No, 1 Madison avenue. New York city.

 If any one asks the reason for the action, refer him to circulars 8. and as issued by the Simplifed Spelling Board Most of the criticism of tho proposed step is evidently made in en' fire K. orance of what the step is. nc less than in entire ignorance of the very moderate ad commonsense view; as to the purposes to be achieved, whicl are so excellently set forth in the cir culars to which I have referred.
 There is not tho slightest intention to do anything revolutionary or ini' tate any far reaching policy If tho slight cpanges In the spelling of th' 9aJ words porposed wholly or partially meet popular approval, then thu changes will become permanent with out any reference to what public ofn cials or individual private citizens mal feel; if they do not ultimately mee with popular approval they will b' ercpped and that 1t all there ts abou
