GREAT SUFFERING IN SEATTLE

Seattle Timus, Jan. 29.-Jammed in almost as tight aS sardnes ln box, 293 men slept last night In the cells of tle condemned city jail. They slept tLere because they were penuiless, without work and friends, and had DO other place to go to keep from freezing. So crowde was the jail and so stiAIng was the atmosphere in the miserably ven- tilated municipal basrile. that three of the men were unconscious when Jailer John Corbett found them this morning. The taintiOg men were carried ouI to the fresh air, water was thrown in their faces, their arms aud legs were rubbed roughly, and after time circu- lation was renewed aud they became

conscious again,
 The scene 10 the old city jail this morning was almost beyond descrIp- tion. Glad to have any place to keep out of the cold, these men, many of them deserving workmen out of em. ployment, had to be content with sleep ing on the cement floors of the cells with pc, haps newspaper or two under them. They lay in rows along the wal g, jammod up as tight agaiost each other ss was possible. Where there happened to be few short men there was room enough between the tier of feet for another unfortunate. In vir- tuallv every cell of the city jail 1t was the same.

William j. Bryan today made an
earnest but highly unsuccessful eff
fort to influence. in his favor the &C.
ton of the pOpulist national con~en-
ton which meets here tomorrow. A
majority of the members of the peo-
pies party, and various reform or
CARNATIONS, which VIII participate in
the convention, rebuffed the Bryan
people at every turn They also re-
fused to classify Bryan as anything
but a Democrat, who has no right TO
participate in councils of the Fopulist
party. or to receive consideration at
its hands
Bryanites will carry the fight into
the convention as last resort. Their
demand was for the postponement of
tomorrow convention. They declare
it would be wisdom to await the &C
ton of the republican and demo
cratic conventions, before placing a
ticket in the field. They admit they
are in the minority as compared with
Watson men, but claim to have a
letter from Thomas f. Watson him
self, in which he expressed the opin
ion that it was unwise to hold a con-
ventiOn at so early a date.

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
Representative Frank Clark, of Flor
ida, recently in a personal conference
with the third assistant postmaster
general, secured a promise to the Ell
feet that an order Will be issued at an
early day which will render a previous
order of the postoffice department re-
lating to mailing privileges of news
papers null and void, to the extent
that editors may be allowed to credit
their subscribers instead of compelling
cash subscription. Mr.. Clark was
accompanied by Col. T. J. ApPleyard,
editor of the Lake City, Fla, Index,
and secretary of the Florida Press
association. Mr.. Appleyard voiced
the sentiment CT the press OF his state.
and related to the third assistant
postmaster-general the hardship which
would be worked On the papers gener-
ally if the order now issued TO go into
effect on the first of April was allowed
to stand
The object of the new ruling will be
10 limit the previous order in such
manner as viii enable editors to Sc
cure subscriptions on credit, demand
ing, however, that when the time Of
the subscription expires that the
names be dropped from the lists, or
an additional subscription secured.
The weekly press will reap an unusual
relief on account of this limitation.
and should be grateful enough to place
the honor where it lies.
This victory of Mr. CIark's will be
heralded not only by the people of his
Owr district and state, but will affect
the country at large.

Four Cent Rate.
1t is the general belief that the
commission has ordered the showing
in order that il may ascertain if the
company can afford to make a rate
of three cents for passengers over
the p. & A. and Yellow River diyis-
ions OF the road, on which a rate of
four cents per mile is now charged.
1t is probable that freight rates may
also be investigated at the same
time. and the books and accounts OF
the business done will also be pro-
dUced to show what amount of bust
ness is done by the road.
Florida Business.
The books and records which the
commission desires TO examine, and
which, it claims in the. order 1t has
right TO so do, are those that relate
only to the business done on the di-
visions having headquarters in Pen
sacola, namely the Pensacola divjs-
ion, the Pensacola & Atlantic diYis-
ion and the Yellow River division, as
these are the only ones over which
the commission has any authority.

are to be examined at the opmpany's
