 Wm J. Bryan let it be known today that he is to be a candidate for the presidential nomination in the Demo cratic convention next year, and his spokesman said that there would be practically no opposition to the Nebras- kan. The announcement was made through Harry II. Walker of The New York Progressive League, an anti Hearst organization, and may be re- garded as official Walker has been the mouthpiece of Bryan for eight years. It was Walker who arranged Bryan's Madison Square Garden meet ing last year. when the Western States man returned from Europe and when there was a question of who should preside, and what man should bo on the reception committee, Bryan frank ly said that all arrangements were in the hands of Walker. For six months past Walker has been in several States in the interest of Bryan, and recently spent several days with the Nebraskan.
 "The situation has developed suf- ficiently,' said Walker in a prepared statement given out tonight, Ito make safe these predictions: Former Cover nor David R.

same time that Mir. Hearst was speak ing in behalf of the San FfancisoD working people certain of them were engaging in one of the most disgrace full riots that ever has occurred in the country. In this affair, dispatches say. protect strike breakers were beaten, kicked and maltreated sayagely. This is almost without 8 precedent in the history of this country. We hope most earnestly. that the great mass of the real working people, not only in nent, will unite in denouncing this conduct. It is bad enough to attack men who are non-unionists: but no class. of American people will stand for disregard of the sacred privilege of sex or justify or excuse mob vio- lence against women.
 MT. Hearst's apparently increasing conservatism is a good sign. We hope it means that he is ridding him- self by degrees of the reckless dispo- sltion to stir ill-feeling between the classes. Perhaps increasing age. cx- a softening and eievating effect. Per- haps he has been taught by defeats that the real underlying tendencies of the American people are conservative, that the agents of destruction, however noisy they may be. and however for midable they may seem, really consti- ute a very small minority. Whatever his motives, whatever the considera- ton which may cause his changed att titude and methods, we are glad to ac- cept this speech of his as another in- dication that capital and labor are ap- preaching nearer and nearer to each other. and that with mutual corces- sions and better understanding, they are coming toward the cordial rela- tions which ought to exist.

(. H. PRIESTER KILLS HARRIS Terrible Tragedy Occurs at Fort Deposit. MEN WERE BRoTHERs-N-LAW Fierce Duel With Shotguns Results
 in Death. Dead Man Accused of Abusing His Wife, Who Sought Protection
 at Home of His
 Slayer.
MEN WERE BRoTHERs-IN-LAW

Fort Depositfi Sept. 5.-tspecial. l--In a fierce shotgun duel late yesterday afternoon near Fort Deposit, c. H. Priester shot and instantly killed his brother-in Jaw, John W. Harris. Priest CT is one of the best known men in this place and Harris was equally we'll known.
 The tragedy occurred at the home of Priester, which is just outside the city limits of Fort Deposit. Priester did not shoot until Harris had discharged his gun twice at his brother-in-law.
 From the best sources of information it seems that the trouble grew out of the mistreatment of Mrs. Harris by her husband It is said that Harris had been drinking several days and had abused his wife. She left her home and sought the protection of Priester. staying at his residence.
 Late yesterday evening. according to report, Harris took shot gun and started for the residence of Priester. saying that it was his purpose to kill his wife and Priester. too. Priester. seeing Harris approaching the resi- dence with his gun in hand, took a gun and went out to meet him. Har- ris discharged the gun twice at Pries- ter, but did not injure him. Then Priester opened fire and both men ad- vanced on each other. both continuing to shoot. When they we're within twenty yards of each other Priester fired deliberately at Harris, and he fell over dead. A full load of bird shot struck him in the head.
 Priester has not been arrested as rhe sentiment of the community is that he acted in self-defense.
 Neighbors of the two men say that the tragedy had been expected. They declare that Harris had repeatedly threatened the life of Priester and that Priester had avoided him as he was re-
