Is scheduled 10 speak in Wilmington to-
morrow night
Il is understood of course, that while
here Mr.. Bryan will learn as much as
possible about the real conditions that
exist in all parts of the country in re-
gard to himself, and also in regard 10
the chances OF the Democratic party.
Guests Leave at Midnight.
Il was midnight before Senator New
lands guests left his house. After the
dinner the party adjourned to the draw
ing-rOom. where there was a general dis
eussion Of Democratic and Republican
policies, Mr. Newlands taking a leading
part
Mr.. Bryan had very little to say, con-
hning his conversation mostly to agree
ing to the sentiments expressed by others
present. While the idea of suggesting to
Mr.. Bryan that he withdraw from the
Presidential contest was, perhaps, in the
minds of a few of those present. nobody
had the courage to bToach the subject.
and the discussion ended without incident.
IL was apparent that the movement
among Southern Senators TO have Mr..
Bryan withdraw died then and there. In
the course of the conversation, Senator
Newlands suggested that as many OF the
policies of President Roosevelt had been
taken from the Democratic platform. il
would be well for the Democrats to call
attention To that fact IN the next cam
paign and put the Republicans in an
awkward position
Among the Democratic policies enumer-
ated as having been taken up by the
President We're those regarding the pub
lcity OF campaign contributions, the
physical valuation of railroads. and the
improvement of inland waterways.

Hard to Deal With Castro.
lNew York Timesl

(NeW YORK IlmeS)
So long as Castro has prima facle
legal authority, SO long as he is able
to control the result of elections, to
maintain a force that can put down
armed resistance, and has his hand on
the machinery of government, it is
extremely difficult to deal with him
satisfactorily. Owing to the peculiar
Law of the land, the capital can not be
reached by any military force suffice
lent to capture it, without an expend-
iture out of all proportion to the real
Importance OF the matters involved. In
his mountain lair he is as safe as any
robber baron of the middle ages in his
crag-castle, and much less easily
starved out. Seizure of the custom
houses and bombardment of La Guayra
might bring him to terms, but 1t is
not certain that he could thus be
reached. He could not be unless the
loss to his people should induce them
to cast him Off

lowing statement:
I'm this mornings papers read that

reason for me to discuss the different
claims and therefore 1 have nothing
more to say except regarding one fact.
"The sums already expended and the
names Of the lawyers and others to
whom / paid the money were clearly
stated in the newspapers. There is
only this much to add: Besides the
heavy total of about $417,50O, that I
paid out myself, my mother paid our

Mother also made a present of S25,-

his actual fee paid by me, $4,000 in all
that he received for his able services.
Mr.. Delmas' bill for expenses was less
than $1,000 and is included in the $780,

TRADE CONDITIONS IMPROVE.
Commercial Reports Indicate Gains
Particularly in North and West.

ENCOURAGING reports OF commercial
conditions outnumber adverse state
ments, and in almost every instance
earlier gains are fully maintained,
while the growth of confidence is evil
denced by increased preparations for
fall trade and a revival of structural
work.
Boston.-Trade Improvement is slow
lin fact, lis hardly apparent in some
important branches. The various auc-
ton sales in New York this week are
expected to clear the atmosphere to
some extent in dry goods circles, but
no sharp improvement in trade is an
ticipated to follow Immediately. The
textile situation is no better. cotton
mills passing thru a very depressed
period, while wool goods are not in
much better shape.
Atlanta. = Business with jobbers
and manufacturers is still quiet and
the week has been without special in
cident. Lumber prices are stiffening
to some extent and the demand is
growing better. Collections are fair.
Retail trade both in city and country
is quiet, as is usual at this season.
New Orleans.-Weather conditions
interfere with retail trade and to some
extent with merchandise shipments
Jobbers and manufacturers, however,
report continued moderate improve
ment, and business is very fair for the
season. Rains are excessive, the har-
vesting of rice is interfered with and
the crop injured to some extent Cot
ton turnout Louisiana and Mississippi
has also suffered. Sugar cane is doing
very we'll and prospects are unusually
good. Receipts of new rice are light,
631 sacks comparing with 2,746 last
year; while trading has been light the
market is firm. The local market for
sugar and moasses is dull.
Chicago-Trade moves forward
steadily, and the recovery would be
more distinct were the hot weather
which has prevailed less of drawback
in some lines of heavy production. New
demands show further improvement In
pig iron, WIRE structural iron and lum-
Der. and specifications for early COM
pletion permit additional hands at the
car shops and locomotive repair works.
