Tacomah. Wash, September SEQ
retary Taft twice today took up the
gauge Of controversy hurled at him
by William J. Bryan. He spoke at
Olympia and Tacoma to two big audi
e2ces. Ten thousand persons cheered
him this afternoon in this city where
he spoke in two open air meetings
He said in part:
''Mr. Bryan. in discussing some OF
my views on the tariff and other mat
ters has done me the honor to call me
The Great Postponer'. With respect
to the tariff was in favor or revision
last year and am still in favor or
revision, but am a party man and I
realize the lack OF wisdom and the
danger both to the party and to the
country Of attempting a revision OF the
tariff in the midst OF a presidential
campaign. am convinced that the
republican party as party will come
to a revision Of the tarifr Immediately
after the next presidential election and
am | favor Of practical results not
of theories and platforms. II II cannot
be done this year | am in favor OF
doing 1t next year
For two presidential campaigns Mr.
Bryan urged the free coinage OF silver
at the ratio of 16 To 1. but now he Ia
pOstponing the issue until he can bring
1t forward again as a panacea in times
of financial disaster Mr. Bryan Is
emphasizing anti-fmperialism and the
oppression of the Filipinos, but be
postponed the issue oof anti-imperial-
ism until by his effort the treay OF
Paris was adopted and the sovereignty
Of the Philippines was transferred from
Spain to the United States. This Is
really the only iece Of actual, affirm
ative. constructive, craftsmanship with
which Mr.. Bryan's name has been con-
nected and he has for eight years been
engaged in attempting to explain that

tent

Pittsburg, Sept. 6.-Peter Boyle, ag-
ed 35 years, gardner today forced
himself into a rooming house in this
city, where his wife was staying and
dragging her from the bed, where she
was sleeping, with her 7-yearold son,
fired bullet into her head and then
killed himself by putting a bullet into
his right temple.
Peter, the 7-year-old son of the cou-
pie, fought with his father to prevent
the latter from shooting himself but
his efforts were unsuccessful
Later Mrs. Boyle died in a hospital.
Boyle is said to have been out of
work for some time and to have been
drinking heavily. He is said to have
left a letter saying that he was tired
of living
This was the third time within six
months that Boyle had assaulted his
wife with murderous intent. The first
time he shot at her but his aim was bad
an dthe second time he attacked her
with bicycle bump.
For the second attempt he was COM
mitted to the workhouse and was but

IN RIGHT OF WAY CONTEST
Both Roads Claimed Priority in

tic Seaboard Iinpeded for Months
Decision Gives South and Western
Right to Build Line and 100000
Worth of Grading Done by Southern

Bristol, Va, Sept. TN the superior
court of Yancy county at Burnsvi.le
\. c., today, Judge PEBBLES rendered
la sweeping decision in favor of the
South and Western railroad On right
of way contest betWeen the latter and
the Southern.
The Southern railway attempted to
block the construction OF the South
and Western some two years ago. and
organized the Johnson City Southern,
to parallel it for a distance of more
than a hundred miles.
The contest came up over the right
of way from Embreesville, Tenn, 10
Burnsyille, N c., and thence through
the Nola Chucky Gorge, both claiming
priority in the location of their
lines.
For months this has seriously imped-
ed the construction of the South and
Western, the new trunk line from
Eastern Kentucky to the South At
lantic seaboard, the selection of anoth-
er route being impossible.
Judge PEBBLES decision gives the road
the right to build its line and the ad-
vantage without compensation, Of

CUT IN RAILROAD
RATES.

The Southern Pacific Company
has announced cut in rates which
amounts to nearly a so per cent.
reduction on all freight handled
in the State of Nevada. This will
be some help, but it really makes
very little reduction in interstate
hauling. This latter is a point
which will have to be adjusted by
the Interstate Railroad Commits
sion. Under the new rate freight
from Reno or Hazen to Wabuska
has been materially reduced, but
the rate from San Francisco or
eastern points is about the same.
1t is possible that by shipping
freight from the East or San Fran
cisco to point just within the
boundary line of Nevada and re-
shipping to point of destination,
some saving could be made to the
consumer.

EXAGGERATED
STATEMENTS

Frequently we see some of the
widest kind of statements made
regarding mining properties-the
amount of ore in sight, the value
per ton and the great percentage
of value that can be extracted,
sometimes stagger the writer who
has any horse sense at all regard
ing these things.
The extravaganza and absurd
tiles of many of the mining items,
appearing from time to time in the
mining press-and even in widely
circulated dailies of large cities.
is unfortunate for the industry.
Many of them are SO palpably RI
diculous and unreasonable as to
make superfluous on our part any
comment thereon or refutation
thereof. Occasionally, however,
there comes TO our notice specific
statements, SO fiaringly absurd and
unbelievable to those versed in
mining matters that we cannot re-
frain from saying word or two,
says the Mining Reporter.
We are never surprised to run
across wild statements in the pros
pectus of the promoter, or III the
columns Of paper remote from
mining localities. But their pub
LEGATION in the press of mining
camps is inexcusable. The editors
of these local papers assuredly are,
or ought to be. better posted on
metallurgical matters than to give
space to such exaggerations. No
reputable metallurgist would be
bold enough to make so unreserved
statement, nor will the average
mine operator believe it. The un-
Informed investor may, however,
and in this lies the greatest harm.
For, should he chance to be inter
ested III some particular property,
or one in the same, or even one in
any other locality, he will expect
similar value recovery.
The metallurgist, mill superin-
tendent or manager at the Elm
vestor's' property will be expect
ed to render as satisfactory an &C.
count of reduction operations, and
in failing to SO will surely be
counted out as unfit" 1t will
end in the investor discrediting
the mining industry. To be sure,
such cases may be rare-and yet
we have known of several. In
defense of the local editors, we
must admit that very often they
are misled by the conversational
statements of the metallurgist or
mill superintendent. Many of the
latter, as. we know by experience,
give information as to percentage
of values recovered which is ex-
aggerated and metallurgically non
otto ., hto

GREAT RED PLOT is FOILED.
Plot Against Gar Greatest Since That
of Eiohty.Two Years Aoo,

London, May 1.-THE Daily Tele-
grams st. Petersburg correspondent
reports the accidental discovery and
foiling Of the greatest terrorist plot
since the great D~ecembrist conspiracy
eighty-two years ago. The CORE
spondent says he has the sensational
story from two reliable sources. Ac-
cording to these versions no fewer
than eighty conspirators resolved a
couple of months ago TO assassinate
Emperor Nicholas and plans We're
finally fixed for carrying out the deed
during Easter. The plotters included
reserve officers and other officials and
civilians whose loyalty hitherto had
been undoubted. A large number of
plotters, the correspondent says, was
necessitated by the elaborate precau-
tons adopted nowadays to protect
imperial personages. The plan was,
according to the correspondent, to APP
proach the Tsarskoe-S elo in distinct
groups and then execute a sudden and
daring attack on the palace. The first
group, consisting OF t%hirty-four men,
arrived on the Russian Good Friday,
when, from some means unknown. sus.
picions against them were aroused.
The whole thirty-four of them were ar
rested at Tsarkoe-Selo and documents
found in their possession led to the
apprehension of the other members of
the band in St. Petersburg.
