Miss Walker being an excellent
horsewoman and having full conf

BRYAN A WINNER.
Henry Wattsrsoa Says He Will
Be Nominated ami Elected.
Thinks Gov. hughes, OF New York,
is the Only Republican, Who Can
Defeat the Great Commoner.

Bryan is as good as nominated.
Just so sure as the convention O.
the Democratic party meets in Den
yer next July Bryan will be named a:
the standard bearer or the party
IT the country remains in its pres
ent condition OF unrest, Bryan viii
be elected
Governor Hughes is the only can
didate the Republican party car
name who could defeat Bryan under
normal conditions"
These quotations express the lat,
est opinions OF Henry Watterson, the
famous editor OF the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal, and are part Of an in
terview with him while in Washing
ton recently.
The fact that Col. Watterson hal
been leading the fight against Bryan
nomination by the Democratic party,
makes his utterances significant.
''It is too late to defeat Bryan for
the nomination" said Col. Waiter
son. Had I been given six months
ago the support OF those Democrats,
who are now clamorins for another
nominee, We might have accomplish.
ed something.
when I suggested that It Bryan
were to withdraw from the contest,
I could name q man who measured
up to all the requirements, a good.
winning Democratic candidate for
president When I named him and
found that he possessed all the quail
ifcations I claimed for him, some
Democrats gave me credit for hay
ing some perspicuity is now too late.
Then followed the quotations made
above.
"I am not personally unfriendly
to Mr.. Bryan" said Col. Watterson.
"On the contrary, I like him, and I
am convinced that II the country re-
mains in it's present state Of unrest.
Bryan will be the victor 10 the next
election. Gov. Hughes is the only
man the Republicans could name
who would have chance to defeat
the candidate OF the Democrats, how
ever he may be and with the coun-
try in normal state be would prob
ably be elected. But repeat, Il the
country remains in state OF unrest.
victory will perch on the banner Of
the Democrats in the national e.ec-
ton next November.
"Who appears to you to os in the
lead, so far as the Republican nomf-
nation is concerned" Col. Waiter
son was asked.
"If Taft is not nominated on the
nrst ballot, Gov. Hughes will he
chosen on the second" was the
laconic responce.
What about the senatorship out
in Kentucky-would you become
compromise candidate, II Gov. Beck
ham is not elected?"
ST would not come to Washington
to take the oath Of Office if certi-
fcate Of election were handed to
me-" replied Col. Watterson. t

sengers, some apprehension being Ell
tertained that the Japanese cruisers
in Hong Kong harbor might attempt
a rescue, in which event it is deemed
probable that the Chinese gunboats
would have sent the Tatsu Maru to
the bottom without further ceremony.
The fat then would have been in a
fire with vengeance.
Further inquiry has ELECTED the in
formation that the seizure of the
Tatsu Maru was brought about
through a report sent from Kobe or
Osaka to the Chinese to the effect
that although the rifles and ammuni-
ton were consigned to firm in
Macao, they we're really to be
smuggled into the hands Of insurg.
ents in the interior of China. Acting
on this assurance the Chinese authori.
ties took immediate steps to seize the
steamer. 1t is surndsed that the in.
formant of the Chinese may have
been Chinese residing in Japan.
