RUSSIANS Threatened
BY JAPANESE IN TOXIC

Yokohama. Aug. 26.-In the midst
OF official Fluctuations over the new
Russian agreement, as removing possl-
blllties of friction. and insuring COM
plete friendship. the Russian minister,
M. Basketzeff, has been compelled to
appeal to the foreign office for pro-
lection for certain persons. against
whom an active press agitation Is be-
ing carried on as suspected spies.
This agitation Is the outgrowth o.
the highly sensational daylight murder
i'm the streets of Toxic of a Japanese
named Mareda by another Japanese
named Imamura. The latter pleads
justification, alleging he suspected
Mareda Of being a Russian spy Hr
says he entered into confidential me-
gotiati0ns with Mareda and his sus-
picions were confirmed. Hence ho
killed the man from motives Of SUI
preme patriotism.
AS these men had been for some
time under the police surveillance be-
cause Of their friendliness with Rus
slams, the police theory Is that Ina
mura killed Mareda In the hope OF ex-
culpatlng himself.
Popular excitement ls great. Sew
eral Russian teachers whom Marcia
had visited are plllorled In the news
papers as spies and their lives have
been threatened.

PLAN TO GIVE BRYAN CLEAR
FIELD FOR NOMINATION

Chicago, Aug. 26.-Vhe nomination
of William Jennings Bryan for presl-
dent by acclamatiOn at next years
convention is a proposition now being
strenuously considered by few of the
reactionists.
The suggestion has, within the past
two weeks been made to prominent
conservatives, both east and west, that
hope has been expressed out loud in
several conferences and In long-dis-
tance correspondence within the last
fortnight.
The plan to make Bryan the noml-
nee by acclamation, II Is reliably re-
ported, was unfolded in Chicago ten
days ago by no less a democratic
chieftain than Thomas Taggart, chair
man of the democratic national COM
mittee.
While II Is not claimed by the har-
monizers that Mr.. Taggart boosted
very sedulously, or hollered his lungs
out for the peerless one, 1t Is under
stood that both he and Roger Sulli-
van. the Illinois member Of the ma
tional committee, considered his pos
sibility.

Legation Guards Take Re-
venge on Unpopular French
men, DemoliSh Drinking Re-
sort and Come to Grief.

San Francisco, Aug 26.-The
American marines composing the le-
cation guard at Pekin have been re-
lieving the monotony of their foreign
service by a series of Informal but
spectacular battles with the soldiers
and marines of other nations station
ed at the Chinese capital The last
battle, which is described by the Off
GERS of the liner Persia, which ar
rived yesterday. involved the total de-
molition of a French resort and led
to twenty-eight courts martial among
the American guard.
The members of all guards except
the American are allowed to carry
side arms when off duty. The Yam
kee marines are dependent in these
international Misunderstanding upon
their fists and such furniture as hap
pens to be handy. SO far the Yankee
weapons have proved all sufficient.
The Holland guard, which is small,
and the American guardsmen, who
number more than 100 are friends in
all scraps. For choice, in the way of
an enemy. the Yankee guard prefers
an English soldier or a French ma
rine. The battle that resulted i'm the
twenty eight courts martial was with
the marines of the European repub-
lie.
A French and American marine met
during the afternoon, and after an
exchange of civillties the Yankee
smote the Frenchman between the
eyes. The Frenchman retaliated by
stabbing his assailant. That evening
about fifty American marines charged
down upon resort patronized by the
French After routing the enemy
somebody suggested wrecking the
place A big marine started the work
of demolition by Impending the piano,
After wrecking everything inside,
they tore down the walls, stamped the
roof into spinters and then set fire to
the wreckage
A report of the affair reached the
legation before the marines and that
night the legation Jail was crowded.
Most Of the participants are now at
the naval prison at Cavite serving
sentences that run from six months to
two years.

Democratic Leader Declares
Corporations Have Sought
Protection From Roosevelt
Against Hostile Local Laws,
C0MM0NER CRITICISES
PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
Railroads, Not the People, that
Demand Capitalization Of
Authority in Washington, Me-
braSkan Says.

Lincoln, Neb, Aug. 26.-In com
menting on President Roosevelt's re-
cent speech at the dedication of the
Pilgrims monument on Cape Cod, this
weeks issue of the Commoner, Will
liam j. Bryan's paper says:
The president has at last disclosed
his scheme for Capitalization, at which
he has limited in former speeches. In
his Provincetown, Mass, address he
proposes the national Incorporation
of railroads and other corporations
engaged in interstate commerce.
Here is the secret--it's out at last.
The states are annoying the corpora
tions, and the corporations demand
federal protection from state legisla-
ton. The president thinks that action
rs most pressing as regards those cor
porations, which, because they are
common carriers, exercise quasi pub
lie function The states have been
enacting two-cent fare laws, and laws
reducing freight rates, and the rail-
road managers demand that they shall
be relieved from further fear of such
legislation. The presidents Hamilton
ian ideas make him an easy victim,
and he yields to the entreaties of the
railroads.
IF 1t was the public he sought to
protect he would recommend federal
remedies which would not interfere
with state remedies-but 1t is the rail
road not the public, that demande
the removal of authority to Washing
ton.
"The democrats can be depended
upon to oppose with all their might
this movement toward Capitalization.
If any democrat wavers, his constit-
uents who should look into his business
relations, and see whether he Is under
obligations to the railroads. A Ham,
iltonian republican like the president,
may honestly think that the farther
the government Is removed from the
people the better 1t will be, but JEFF
fersonian democrat does not cherish
any such delusion. Even the Hamil-
tonian republican ought to hesitate to
trust congress with any more power
while the United States senators are
elected by legislatures.
at is fortunate that the people haV,
had an object lesson so recently. The
federal law stopped rebates and
passes, but the railroads make more
money than they did before. The
states, on the other hand, gave the
people a reduction In rates. and these
were receiving the benefit of these re-
ductions will be slow to surrender the
advantages thus far obtained.
1T is very doubtful whether the re-
publican congressman from the west
will dare to support the presidents
proposition. but If an attempt is maie
to put such a measure through co /
gress the democrats will stand a good
chance of retiring every western re-
publican who votes for 1t. Let the
democrats present an unbrOken front
on this vital proposition"

HEAVEN S NOT

WEALTHY INDIFFERENT
TO SPIRITUAL WELFARE
Cardinal Gibbons Declares the
Growth of Religion Does Not
Keep Pace With Growth of
Material Wealth in America,

southampton, l.. L. Aug. 26,-James
Cardinal Gibbons, who is spending the
summer here, believes that the in
crease of wealth in America is far
surprising the spread of religion. The
thoughtful man is invited to carry the
theory to its logical conclusion Cor
himself. His eminence, a prinee Of
the Holy Roman church, as we'll as Of
the realm of thought. will go no fur
ther.
With his keen, far-seeing eye look-
ing into the future, he said yesterday
afternoon.
"Tha man of wealth no longer seeks
the kingdom of God. He finds the
kingdom and the joys thereof on this
earth"
Wealth, then, is spreading faster
than the religion of Christi" he was
asked.
81 fear that is So" was the reploy.
with what result, do you venture
to say?"
Verify, a rich man shall not enter
the kingdom of heaven" answered
the cardinal, quoting the words of the
Man of Galilee.
"Do you mean that that is literally
true"
"T am afraid So" said the cardinal.
wv liOl lilCdH lllil II II lIlDbo0lblN
= know some rich men who are
pious and devout; but of the great
majority it can only be said that they
are Indifferent as to their spiritual
welfare; they prefer the things Of the
earth, of which they have an abund-
ance. In the luxury of our civiliza-
tion they heed not the hereafter, They
are blinded to the truth.
1t is to the poor and lowly, Cardl-
nal Gibbons went on to say. that the
church looks for the maintenance of
the true spirit of religion. But he
stopped there, and would not be led to
say whittier the trend of religious
indifference among the great and in
fluential of the nation was leading.
"In the creation of the great cor
porations," he stated, "each one that
is created takes from the young man
just starting life the opportunity and
the incentive to labor honestly In his
chosen field; competition Is killed and
the young man Is without the means
of putting his talents and abilities 70
