BRYAN COMMENTS
ON TAFT'S SPEECH

LINCOLN, Neb., July Exchanging
that Judge William HI. Taft was not
satisfied with the work of the Chicago
convention, which nominated him As
the Republican candidate for the pres
idency, W. j. Bryan today issued a
statement in regard to Taft speech OF
acceptance Bryan said:
tsThe most noticeable feature of his
speech is his attempt to amend the
Republican platform by drafting upon
it some of the planks of the Demo.
cratic platform. He is evidently not
satisfied with the work of his conven
ton and is deeply impressed by the
work of the Democratic convention.
.tHe5 is uncharitable, however, in not
giving the Democratic party credit fol
having pointed out the reforms which
his own convention repudiated, but
which he, in a balf-hearted way, in
dorses. The speech shows that he fear
the uprising which Republican abuses
have caused and yet hesitates to adop
any real and substantial reforms.

WHEN IS A SHOE NOT A sHoE2

When is walking shoe not a walk
ing shoe2
1t sounds like a frivolous question.
but II Is not of the family of when
Is an egg2 Instead it was question
Of sufficient Importance to cause an I'M
pieasantness between two nations and
threatened TO disrupt the athletic rela-
tions between Great Britain and the
United States. The question arose at
the Olympic games when the American
tug of war team refused to compete
with the Liverpool ''bobbiesf' on ac-.
count of the English "'peelers wear
ing shoes the like of which the Amer
leans had never seen. The rules gov
erning the competition state that only
ordinary walking shoes are to be worn
by the competitors; so when the police.
men took up their places at the rope
with their feet incased in footgear
which was studded with ''spikes'' and
the heels reinforced with steel the
visitors naturally thought that there
was something not just right about the
shoes and refused to go on with the
pull. On top of the previous question,
then, comes the query, "when is
spike not spike?'
To a person who has never known
the British :" bobbie' personally this
would seem to be a knotty problem,
but the cause of the trouble is appar-
ent to those who have seen the police
men on duty and been observant enough
to note the style of shoes they wear.
Be it known that in the course of a
week the British peeler gathers in some
thing like So or So as remuneration for
his services and has perforce to be ex-
tremely economical The pavements
which they have to tread are very
hard on leather, so it is customary to
have the soles of the shoes studded with
'tackets' and the heels surrounded
with plate known as heel plate. =
This is the British policeman IS ordi-
nary walking shoe, and naturally they
wore them in the tug fwar.
A "tacket' may seem like a spike
to stranger, but there is a wide dis
tinction. A "tacket' is simply a nail
which is driven into the sole and pro
trudes about a quarter of an inch 1t
is about an eighth of an inch in diam
eter, and there are about so of them
| to a shoe. 'When is spike not a
spike?'' comes easy after this explain
alton. the answer being, when it is
| tacket.'' At that, however, the Brit
ishers had an unfair advantage over the
other teams, although the officials
probably thought that the policemen
| had right to wear their regular foot

from an outing. He had gone down

when he got back the message was
written, occupying him for two days.

his method of dealing with Cabinet Of

Admiral Walker for his Hawaiian mis-

part of the President unusual for him:
The foundation for Mr.. Cleveland s
celebrated Venezuelan message said
Mr.. Herbert, twas the note of Seere-
tary of State Olney to Lord Salisbury.
the British Minister for Foreign AT
fairs. That note was written during
the Congressional recess, three months
before Congress convened, aud before
Mr.. Cleveland IS message was prepared
The Oiney note was drafted after a
consultation between the Secretary or
State and Mr.. Cleveland during the
summer at Gray Gables, on Buzzard 3
bay. Mr.. Olney went there, as / have
always understood, to confer with the
President about the Venezuelan ques-
ton. The note was submitted to every
member of the Cabinet. l remember

summer and copies of the note came

of the Treasury, and Mr.. Lamont, the
Secretary of War, and we considered

and ] heartily approved it. Among. Mr..
Carlisle, Mr.. Lamont and myself some
suggestions were made as to amend

standing is that these amendments
were subsequently adopted. All the
Cabinet knew for three or four months
before Congress convened that this

theless, it was kept absolutely secret.
Nobody knew anything about it. As
Mr.. Cleveland himself said, he did not

MARINE

: Two brothers, both sailors on the
steamer Noeau, took unexpected baths
in the harbor yesterday, but the pres
ence of bystanders averted a tragedy.
About noon one of the brothers mount
ed box on the edge of the wharf.
The box tilted and the Hawaiian was
thrown into the slip between the Inter
Island and Hackfeld wharves. He was
encountered by his clothing and heavy
shoes, bat managed to get hold of a
pier, where he held on. His calls for
help brought numerous other sailors to
the rescue, and he was hauled safely
onto the wharf. About two o'clock
the other brother. considerably inebri-
ated, swung along the waterfront to-
ward the Inter-Island wharf. He
stumbled, struck a stringer and went
over into the slip near the steamer
Mauna Loa. The young fellow was so
drunk that he barely was able to cling
to the post, and some young boys ran
TO his rescue with hoe. Some of his
shipmates finally got hold of him and
yanked him to safety. While walking
down the dock he again lost his ball
anee. and but for a timely hand which
caught his. he would have taken a Sec
ond dousing.

cALLAo FREIGHT LAxITY.

The English Consul General at Cal
lao, writing on harbor conditions at
that port, states that the wharves or
Callao are wholly inadequate to the
modern requirements of the port, and
that there has been, in consequence, an
extraordinary amount of accumulation
of merchandise Vessels had been de-
tanned last year for five to seven weeks
before they could get ALONGSIDE to dis.
charge their cargo. 1t is only fair,
the Consul General continues, to the
Callao Muelle-Darsena Company to add
that the loss of time and demurrage is
not wholly their fault. The railway
companies are deficient in rolling stock
and yards. and the Custom House, too,
is responsible for much dilatoriness, but
this is now being enlarged and improv.
ed. Before CallaO, however, can cope
with the requirements of the trade of
the port, not only viii the dock require
considerable enlargement, but larger
bonded freight yards will have to be
provided. AS things are, the dock
company throws all the blame on the
railways, and these on the dock com
pany, and both on the stevedores. The
last named have it all their own way
and are In constant state of strike
or threatening to strike. the authori-
ties seeming powerless to protect in
dependent labor, since the Callao steve
dores formed union which enjoys a
positive monopoly, making it impossi-
BILE for anv independent labor to be
obtained. They work only when and
as long as they please, and merchants
and shipowners are both helpless and
hopeless. At times the accumulation is
appalling-goods which arrived in
November, 1907, not being despatched
by the end of March, 1908. Similar
congestion is said to exist at Mollendo
and all along the Maritime
Register.
