prohibits under special laws. The case
on which the decision is based came
from King county, the Commissioners
having ordered bond sale of $4,000

few days ago from William J. Bryan,

will soon be on. He suggests that q
popular subscription, involving the
principle of publicity be employed.
He thought that this means OF raising
funds, with the publication of names of
all giving five dollars or more, would
be a practical illustration OF our belief
in the publicity of campaign contribu.
tions, and would not only show that it
was not paid for with trust money, but
would set good example for the cam.

Battleship Butted by O Tramp.

The battleship Rhode Island seems
to have been unfortunate from the
time she was launched. While on her
first trip in Virginia waters, May 9th,
she ran aground ON York Spit, at the
entrance of York river, in open day
light, and her commander Capt Garst,
was court martialed and suspended
from duty six months with half pay
and his rating was reduced five num-
bers. 1t was nearly high water when
she was grounded and it took the COM
bined efforts OF several tugs aud her
own power to move her off when the
water was at the highest stage.
During a violent storm which swept
over Newport News Tuesday afternoon,
the Norwegian turret steamship Guern-
sey dragged her anchor and crashed
stern on with the starboard side of the
Rhode Island, afro at anchor. Several
plates OF the warship we're bent, and a
hole was stove in the side of the
Guernsey. The Rhode Island was
loading coal in preparation for pro-
cceding up the coast to join the At
lantic fleet. The Guernsey was wait.
ing orders from her owners. Both
ships will have to be repaired before
proceeding to sea.
The Guernsey is we'll known on the
North Pacific coast and during the
past few years had loaded cargos at
Tacoma, Seattle and Portland. She
loaded on this coast in December, 1901 =,
taking flour from Portland and the
Sound and was back about year later

whether fights would really be held at

but he said two Chicago men of means
