his headquarters while in Annapolis.
The boat in which he is making his
1,200-mile trip is composed of news
papers published all over the country,
from Maine to California, and from
Alaska to the Bahamas. There are
about 20 thicknesses Of paper, the
headlines having been clipped sep

LABOR LEADERS PLEASED
BRYAN CONGRATULATED FOR
STAND ON LABOR PLANK.
Denial Of Gompers Attracts Attention
at Fairview-Taft complet-
Ing Speech.

Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-William j,
Bryan's speech of Friday night to the
members of the Central Labor union
of Lincoln, In which he emphasized
the labor planks of the Denver plat
form, resulted in the receipt by him
Saturday of large number of tele-
grams from labor leaders all over the
country congratulating him on his ut
terances.
The dispatch from Erie, Pa, quoting
Samuel Gompers as denying that he
sent cablegram to William r. Hearst,
which resulted in the latter's denounc-
ing the Democratic party, has at
tracted considerable attention at Fair
view. There is no disposition to ques-
ton Mr.. Gompers' statement, but on
the contrary there is every reason to
believe that an inquiry already has
been set on foot to ascertain, if pos
sible, the author of the cablegram
credited to Mr. Gompers.
Although Mr.. Bryan has reached no
final decision in the matter, 1t is very
probable that on his way from here to
Chicago next Friday he will deliver
several addresses from the train, the
first of which will be at Omaha. He
has refused the tender of a special
train and will travel as an ordinary
passenger.

kATSURA PETS PEACE DOVE.
JAP TO IMPROVE RELATIONS
WITH ALL POWERS.
In Interview New Premier plans Also
to Remodel the Finances Of
lnsuiar Empire.

Tokyo, July 18.-Marquis Katsura,
the new premier and minister of
finance of Japan, Friday granted an
exclusive interview outlining the pol
icies to be carried out during the
governments administration. The en-
tire tenor of the interview showed q
determination to improve the political
and commercial relations between
Japan and all foreign countries, to
remodel the finances of the country,
and to build up the industries Of
Japan. Marquis Katsura said:
The recent change in the cabinet
was caused simply on account of the
continued Ill health of former Pre-
mier Saionji, although there may have
been other unessential reasons, neces-
stating change of policy towards
foreign countries. need hardly say
that my policy will be peaceful, the
prime object OF 1t being to maintain
peace throughout the world. With
this end in view will do my best
to cultivate and increase the present
good relations existing among the pow
ers. Japan must not be misunder-
stood in her sincere desire to main
tain peace. Anything calculated in
even the slightest degree to disturb
the peace of the world shall be most
scrupulously avoided by mo. The ma
uonal finances also will command my
utmost attention. The disturbance
of Japanese finances on account of the
recent war between Japan and Russia
must be allayed within the shortest
possible time. Redemption bonds,
more especially those that are unpro-
ductive, will receive my first atten-
ton. hope to be able to readjust
Japan's finance, and thus dis
pei the aboninable condition now
existing. The upbuilding OF Jap
ans economical and commercial de-
velopment will be one of my most Sc
rious endeavors, but in carrying out
this policy l shall be most careful to
avoid anything calculated to disturb
the peaceful relations of the powers
These are the principal objects to be
pursued. The adjustment of the ma
tional finances and the development Of
the national resources are two insep-
arabic measures, and therefore shall
command my utmost attention, and
the utmost attention of my govern
ment."

Apprenticed.

Yes" said Mr.. Pate, with ill-con-
cealed pride, my youngest boy
makes some smart remarks at times.
Only recently he asked me what 1t
meant to be an apprentice. l told
him that 1t meant the binding of one
person to another by agreement, and
that one person so bound had to teach
the other all he could of his trade or
profession, whilst the other had to
watch and learn how things were
done. and had to make himself useful
in every way possible"
What did he say to that?" asked
one Of the audience.
Why, after few minutes the
young rascal looked up at me and
said: Then / suppose you're appren-
ticed to mother. aren't you, dad?'

The man of affairs addressed the
school, briefly, but in such tones of
earnest appeal that the boys were not
likely to forget his admonitions. His
text was the Importance of little
things. even in an age of great things;
and the pith of his discourse lay in a
single sentence:
Take care Of the millions, and the
billions will take care Of themselves"

upon the impulse Of that moment, to
