CLAIMS OF ANTI-BRYAN MEN
Nebraskan Said to Be Seriously Con-
cerned Over Outlook.

Chicago, April 1S.-William Jen-
nings Bryan has become seriously
concerned over the progress his op-
ponents are making. His visit to
Michigan has been undertaken in the
hope that that state, which he sud-
denly has learned he was in danger
of losing, can be saved His concili-
atory position in Illinois is the result
of fear that an uninStructed delega-
tion might be sent from the Spring
field convention next week If he gave
aid or encouragement to the oppo-
nents of the state organization.
He has lest New York. The Penn
sylvania delegation will be uninstruct-
ed. New England, it is reported, will
send uninstructed delegates. Senator
Tillman of South Carolina will take
an unlnstructed delegation to Denver,
according to statements he has made.
Not one Atlantic coast state, anti
Bryan men say, will send Bryan del
egate to the national convention.
Ohio presents a hard contest. Min
nesota is instructed for Governor
Johnson. California Oregon and
Washington are claimed for Johnson
and Mr. Bryan faces the probability
that he will fall considerably short of
the two-thirds necessary for nomina-
ton.

Paper on Free List.

Washington, April 18.-That Her
man Ridder of New York, president of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association, has not abandoned his
fight to have wood pulp and print pa
per placed on the free list is indi-
Gated by the fact that he conferred
with Representative James e. Wat
son, the Republican whip" of the
house, on the subject.
Mr.. Watson told Mr.. Ridder that
pers onally he favored the proposal and
suggested that Mr.. Ridder make an
effort to induce the Democratic sem
ators to agree that If wood pulp and
print paper bill reached the senate 1t
should be permitted to pass without
amendment.
''If you can get such an agreement
from the Democratic senators / think
there will be little difficulty in putting
a bill through the house admitting
wood pulp and print paper on the free
list" said Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. Ridder announced his intention
of taking up the matter with the DEM
ocratic senators.

Enemy Left Many Dead on Field.

Colomb Bechar, Algeria, April 1S.-
A French column posted on TalzaZa

number of Berbers, who, with nomad
Arabs, have been concentrating for
some weeks past on the western from
tier of Algeria. Although surprised
the French force rallied and fought
desperately and not only beat off their
adversaries but pursued them for six

the Arabs, in their headlong fight,
abandoned their dead and wounded.
Several green flags of the prophet also
fell into the hands of the French
The French victory was costly.
Twenty-eight men, including an officer,
were killed and 100 men, including

War William H. Taft will resign from
the cabinet if he is nominated by the
Republican convention in June. 9th
erwise he will continue at the head
of the department until the end of
President Roosevelt's term.
Mr.. Taft took occasion to deny q
story printed in the East to the effect
that he intended to retire from the
cabinet at the close of the present
session of congress in order to be un-
restricted in the prosecution of his
presidential canvass.
Should the presidential nomination
fall to the lot of the former Ohio

would be chosen from the following:
Robert Bacon, assistant secretary of
state; Robert S. Oliver, assistant Sec
retary of war; Beekman Winthrop,
assistant secretary of the treasury, or
Charles E. Magoon, provisional gov
ernor of Cuba Each of these men
possess qualifications for the port

SITUATION IN THE BALKANS
Russian Foreign Minister Discusses
Subject In Duma.

st. Petersburg, April 1S.-Foreign
Minister Iswolsky has delivered to the
duma his long expected statement re-
garding the Balkan situation. He
said he was not able to chronicle any
definite achievement toward the set
tlement of the Macedonian problem,
but the loyal support of the Russian
programme by Austria-Hungary, Ger
many, Italy and France and its par
tial approval by Great Britain was full
of promise. Reforms in Macedonia
were imperatively necessary, he said.
Unfortunately there had been no sub
stantial benefits from the previous eff
forts of the powers in this direction
due largely to the interracial quarrel
ing and iealousies of the very nation
alities it was desired to benefit. Any
new programme would be impossible
unless ii was supported by the unani
nous cooperation of all the powers
and Russia was obliged for this rea
son to reject the proposal advanced
by Great Britain. The Russian plan
the foreign minister continued, con
tanned neither egoistic designs nor
dangerous innovations and it could be
put into execution without danger OF
bringing on conflict.
In conclusion M. Iswolsky said that
the cardinal principle of Russia's
present policy was a sound egoism
She needed peace to recuperate from
the effects of the struggle with Japan
and she therefore intended at all cost
to avoid breakup of the European
concert

ALDR|CH BILL KILLED
House Committee Tables Measure
by Unanimous Vote.
NO REPORT WILL BE MADE
Members Decide to Submit Brief
Statement of Action Taken to the
House Without Giving Reasons for
the Conclusions Reached.

Washington, April 1S.-The house
committee on banking and currency
has voted unanimously to table the
Aldrich currency bill, already passed
by the senate.
The discussion In committee was
brief. The only point debated was
as to whether or not the committee
should make a formal report giving
its reasons to the house for its un'
favorable action and that the conclu.
sion was finally reached that no rea'
sons should be given. Consequently
the committees report will be a mere
statement of the action of the com.
mittee.
OF the nineteen members of the
committee thirteen were present al
the meeting. They were Messrs
Prince (nlD, McMorran (Mich), Wal
do IN. W, Hayes (CaD, Durey IN
", Lewis (Ga), Pujo Ua), Glass
(Va), Gillespie (Tex), Crowford IN
c., McHenry (Pa), Weeks (Mass.)
and Chairman Fowler.
Chairman Fowler and other mem
bers of the committee refused to be
quoted as to the probable fate of the
Vreeland bill, now before the commit
tee, but the opinion seemed to prevail
that it would follow in the wake OF
the Aldrich bill.

QUICKLY PASSES SENATE.
Bill Regulating Injunctions Against
State Officers.

Washington, April 1S.-A bill reg.
ulating the granting by federal courts
of temporary injunctions against state
officers in the enforcement of state
laws was considered by the senate.
Senator Overman, in calling up the
measure, explained that 1t prohibits
the granting of such injunctions ex-
cept by a majority of three judges,
two at least of whom are required to
be circuit and the third either a cir
cult or a district judge.
"As Justice Harlan recently said in
his dissenting opinion in the case of
Attorney General Young of Mime
sota," said Mr.. Overman, 1--WE have
come to a pretty pass when one fed
eral judge can enjoin any official of
a state from the enforcement of law
passed by the Legislature of the state. .
Senator Burkett offered substitute
for the bill.
Strong opposition was made by Mr..
Hepburn of Idaho to the bill on the
ground that in the Western part of
the country the vast distances and
small number of circuit and district
judges would cause long delays and
embarrass the proper enforcement OF
the law.
The fact that the bill applies only
to injunctions against the enforcement
of state laws was made prominent by
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, who
declared it would not endanger proper
enforcement of the law under present
methods.
After a brief discussion the Burkett
substitute was disagreed to and the
bill as reported to the senate was
DaSSed
