Mr.. James Angus was over from the
Clara Belle mine last Tuesday and in
answer to our inquiry he said the new
organization had made a very liberal
offer to the old stockholders to take
stock in the new company and some of
them we're taking advantage Of it. He
said that everything looked favorable to
an early resumption Of work, and he
thought they would have the stamps
dropping on some of that rich ore in a
short time. He thought what had been
done was actually necessary to be done
and the only thing that could be done
to pay off the debts and put the mine in
shape to run and take out some money

by fire Of unknown origin Tuesday

badly crippled. The latter was rescued
from the flames with difficulty owing to
his condition. Everything in the build
ing was destroyed and the loss will be

vior all the afternoon. The girl babies
bore placards attached with blue rib

The speeches of Bryan in Michigan
are notable ones In his tour.
He replies to President Roosevelt's
open letter in regard TO the Foraker

the leaders OF the Republican party
knew OF the Ohio senator's affiliations
and retainers, they did not expose and
disgrace him but waited, in the in
terest of party harmony, until William
Randolph Hearst made hisd isclos-
ures.
The Ann Arbor and Detroit speech
es will be key-notes- OF the national

on the station platform that was not
able. The Wayne County Bryan club
had turned out In force and the local

out In the state.
When Mr.. Bryan appeared at the
gate. escorted by Mayor Thompson,
and others OF the party that had gone
to Buffalo to accompany him here,
there was a burst Of cheering. The
band struck up Hail to the Chief"
and the great Commoner made his
way through lane OF open space be-
tween ranks OF cheering men.
Automobiles were in waiting out
side and the distinguished guests and
leaders, as we'll as the squad OF news
paper correspondents who accompany
Mr.. Bryan, were loaded In these and
taken to the Hotel Pontchartrain.

Hearst Compares
Haskell to Burglar
Caught in Act

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.2-William r..
Hearst, woh has been campaigning FOR
the national ticket Of the Independ-
ence party In the south and middle
west, returned to this city and issued
statement concerning the challenge
of Gov. C. N. Hakell. of Oklahoma.
In his recent speeches Hearst had
charged that Haskell, who Is now
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee, had sought. In 1899. to In
fuence Attorney-G General Frank 3.
Monentt. of Ohio. to dismiss suits then
ppending against the Standard OIL
| Co. In a telegram to Hearst, which
he made public last night, Gov. Has
kell invited Hearst to publicly prove
| his charges before a committee OF
editors.
Hearst refuses to accept the sug'
gestion of an editorial board of arbi-
tration In the following language:
Mr.. Haskells proposition reminds
me Of the well-known story of the
burglar who was caught In the act
by the police. When the police burst
in upon him they found hi min front
of safe which had been blown open
WIFI NIB tOOis III uib pOCkct, uhI

The police dragged the burglar to the

yourself?'
The burglar said: Looka here

question whether he really repre-
sents the principles that his consti-
tuents desire supported and put
into practice. The issue really Is
wether the Republicans Of Ohio,
therefore,, as the constituents OF
either a senator or a presidential
candidate, support the main poll
cies maintained by the administra-
ton or the opposition to those poll
1ctes.
Representing the policies of the
administration, / cannot stultify
myself by acquiescences in any
proposed compromise which neces-
sarily involves the admission that
this fundamental difference of
opinion as OF no importance and
one that can be waived In the in
terest OF party harmony or the set
Element OF fractional differences
There Is not the slightest doubt
that the next national convention
OF the Republican party VIII sus-
tain in full the vital and main
principles maintained by President
Roosevelt and Will express no sym
pathy with the opposition repre-
scented by Senator Foraker. Be-
cause I believe In these principles
and because In my judgment the
Republicans of the state and ma
ton are overwhelmingly In favor
OF them. I cannot favor any action
by members of the committee who
do me the honor to support me and
wish TO aid me, which Will have
the appearance OF acquiescence In
the proposed compromise.
Very sincerely yours,

ed what comment he desired to make
as to what william r. Hearst said re.
garding him In his Memphis speech
Saturday night, he dictated the fol.
lowing:
Assuming that the Sibley matter
which Hearst read Is genuine and that
1 am the Senator B. to whom II re.
fers, I am very glad It has been Civ.
en- to the public, for 1t clearly refutea
a charge which my enemies have been
making against me In this state for
the last two years. They have been
asserting that am an attorney for the
Standard Oil Co. and insinuating that
l have been friendly to 1t In matters
Of legislation.
This letter distinctly shows that
am not their attorney and II also dis
tinctly shows that my position could
