TAFT TAKES UP
CHALLENGE
OF BRYAN
NEBRASKAN SCORED FOR
STUDIED INSINCERITY
War Secretary Defends His At
titude on Tariff Revision As
Only One Calculated to Pro-
duCe Desired Results.

Tacoma, Sept 7.-Secretary Taft
twice today lifted the gage Of contro-
versy hurled at him by William Jen-
nings Bryan. He spoke at Olmypia
ana Tacoma to two big audiences un-
der the auspices of the Chamber Of
Commerce of Tacoma
Secretary Taft travelled from Port
land to Tacoma today and was the
guest of the same organization at a
banquet tonight Ten thousand peo-
pie cheered him this afternoon at
Wrights park, where he spoke in the
open air. 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 of revision
last year, am still i'm favor of revision.
but l am a party man, and | hope a
practical man, and | realize the lack
of wisdom and the danger. both to
the party and to the country in at
tempting a revision of the tariff in the
midst of Il presidential campaign.
am convinced that the republican par
ty, as Il party will come to n revision
of the tariff Immediately after the
next presidential election. | am in
favor Of practical results Not of theo-
ries and platforms. OF doing things
which should be done. If it can not
be done this year, ! am in favor of do
ing it next year. For two presidential
campaigns Bryan urged with all the
eloquence and force possible, the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of six
teen to one, but now he is postponing
the issue until he can bring it forward
again as panacea in times of finan-
cial disaster, for which it is fitted not
as a real remedy but as a means of
getting into power. He is only now
the subject Of anti-iV-
perlalism and the oppression of the
Filipinos, but he postponed the issue
Of anti-imperialism until by his effort
the treaty of Paris was adopted and
the sovereignty of the Philippine Is
lands was transferred from Spain to
the United states This Is really the
only piece of actual affirmative, CON
structiVe statesmanship with which
Bryan's name has been connected, and
he has now for eight years been en-
gagged in attempting to explain that
away"

SULTANS
MARCH ON
HRABAT
EUROPE NOW AWAITS
OUTCOME OF CLASH
France and Spain Hesitate in
Fear That Further lntepen-
ton viii Provoke Further
MaSSacreS of Christians.

Tangier Sept 7.-Events in Mor
rocco are marching on with great ra-
pidity. Yesterday both Sultans Abdul
AZiz and Malai Hafig were reported
leaving the rival capitals, Fez and
Morocco City, at the head of armies
which had been levied in hot haste
and which may decide within a fort
night the destiny of Morocco's mon
.archy The immediate objective Of
these forces Is the ancient city of RAJ
bat on the Atlantic seabord, the prior
possession Of which great center OF
western Islam's national life proba-
bly, would have an important, If not
decisive bearing upon the struggle Tor
supremacy. Both sultans are sons OF
the same father. and they are daily Isl
suing passionate appeals to the patri-
otism and religious enthusiasm of the
nation, each denouncing his rival as
being worse than an intdel and trail
tor to Islam. Meanwhile the powers
have not yet decided, whether or not
to recognize Mulai Hafig as sultan,
seemingly awaiting the result of an
appeal to the arbitrament of civil war.
The general impression here that
France and Spain have resolved upon
the immediate occupation of all Mo-
roccan seaports, has caused universal
CONSERVATION, for it is feared that any
extension of the intervention Of
France and Spain will infallibly pro-
woke a further massacre of Christians
and Jews in the coast towns.

tlons are that criminal proceedings

from Canada to the First National

been "bofrOwing" the cOmpany's

FAMOUS CLIFF
HOUSE WIPED
OUT BY FIRE
SAN FRANCISCO LOSES
MOST NOTED ATTRACTION
Closed For Repairs Is
Destroyed Before Nearest
Firemen Reach Scene of the
Blaze; Loss 100000.

San Francisco, Sept. THE fa-
nous Cliff house of this city, San
Ffancisco's first attraction for tour
lists, was burned TO the ground this
evening. Fire broke out in the build
ing about 4:45 o'clock, and an hour
later, a blaekened heap of ruins was
all that remained Of the historic
structure. The house was built of
wood. and famed by lively ocean
breeZes, the flames made such head
way that before the nearest fire COM
pany arrived at the scene, 1t was real
lied that the place was doomed ana
more attention was paid to saving adj
joining property than to the burning
building.
The cliff house has been closed for
some time, as the new lessee, John
TAFT, was remodeling the interior.
WorlSmen were about the place until
noon and then departed for the day.
How the fire started is a mystery. This
was the second Gin house to be de-
stroyed by fire. The building which
was burned today was erected about
twenty years ago by Adolph Sutro Of
Sutro tunnel fame. 1t was owned by
the Sutro estate and was valued at
$4,000 TAFT estimates his loss at
$780, 900
The Cliff house was ranked as one
OF the best known resorts of America.
1t WAS located on a rocky pr0mOntOry
beyond the Golden Gate directly
above the lashmg waves of the Pa
cific ocean. and affording a close view
of the seals disporting on the rocks
near the shore.
IL was a strong attraction for visi-
tors, and from its broad porches hun
dreds of thousands of people have
obtained their first view Of the mighty
waters. The magnificent Sutro baths
near by were not damaged.

has failed.
Another important action today was
the decision to eliminate the resolu-
tion protesting against the enactment
of any further legislation favoring the
Philippines. With this latter excep-
ton. the report of the committee on
resolutions was adopted as read, and
the policy of President Roosevelt in
relation to the reclamation service, the
conservation of water and the forests Of
the country and other matters, was
endorsed.
The sugar question was only settled
after great discussion, the friends of
the beet sugar industry making a
strong fight in their interests. Arthur
Briggs succeeded in getting the con-
gress to pass a resolution in the inter-
est of the California fruit growers,
in relation to the use of sulphur in
drying fruit. The resolution asks the
department of agriculture not TO en-
force the regulation of the pure food
law in the matter without further in
vestigation. Congress adopted unani-
mously the report of the committee on
permanent organization.
