END OF BALLOON RACE
 CHICAGO 10 THE OCEAN
The Last Craft Fell 800 Miles From
 the Starting Point.

Chicago. July 5-The Chicago to the ocean" balloon race ended to- night when the last of the nine con testants came to earth at West Shef- ford, Quebec, 500 miles from the starting point. This craft was the Fielding. owned by F. J. Fielding of San Antonio. Texas. It covered ap- prOximately 100 miles more than the nearest competitor and it is also be- lieved to have captured the prize for the balloon which remained in the air the longest
 The Vile De Lieppe dropped into Lake Michigan soon after the start. For an hour or more Col. Mueller and George Schoeneck the pilots. were swept across the surface, fin ally arising with the craft to a height of 1000 feet from which they descended to Benton HarbOr, Mich. A similar experience fell to the lot of c. H. Perrigo and J. D. Case of the Illinois. While endeavoring to effect q landing near Lake Ontario the balloon fell into Bay Quinte. The aeronauts dOnned life preservers and managed to keep afloat until a yacht rescued them.
 The third accident took place near Clinton, Ont, the balloon Columbia could not be controlled by Capt. NJ. Peterson; and c. H. Leichleiter. and they were dashed against trees, drag

His Almost Angry Demand for Harmony

 What kind of scrupulOus abstention from interference does Bryan call that What particular brand of hypocrisy is indicated by these salving words ut tered by Bryan at the Iroquois club last December, when he stood up and said: We must forget the past and work for the future. We must forget all. forgive all. For myself I may say I have no grievance. no longer judge a man by what he has done. The fu- ture is everything to me. I want to know what he is going to do in the future
 How can we account for this abrupt change from burtal assault to smirk- ing palaver? Had Sullivan changed :? Was not his office held by fraud then as much as in 1906? What happened to suddenly make it possible for hon est demOcrats' to associate with him? simply this; as everybody knows, Bryan wanted the Illinois delegation to the convention and to accomplish his purpose he did not hesitate for an in- stant to eat his own vicious words. Brayn views me with sanctimonious horror. as a political boss who shall never be in the party organization ex- cept over my protest; as a 'bushwhack- CT who should not be put into my councils to betray me- My councils, indeeGi Is the democratic party real ly absorbed? Has it no councils? Is Bryan the whole organization?

Does he turn to vituperation against me because l am boss? Not at all. l am no more a boss now than I was during the two campaigns when I won his appreciation by trying to elect him. The only boss he hates Is the boss opposed to his own arrogant self-the most impudent, domineering and devesatating boss the democratic party has ever known. But there is another reason. 1 am a corporation man. Well, I am. l was in 1896 and 1900, and l am today. But I have all ways been connected with the corpor- atiOns.

 When the cornerstone of the build ing was laid on March 31 last year the imperial couple were represented by the court chaplain, Dr. Dryander, and Baron Von Mirbach, who was the per sonal representative of the Kaiserin. The ceremony took place in tue pres ence of the governor of Jerusalem and a representative of the sultan of Fur key of whose empire the province of Palestine is a part It was quite inn pressive but far from enough so to satisfy the kaiser and he therefore wants to throw splendor upon the ded- icatiOn of the home by his personal presence and will endeavor to induce the sultan to come too, though it is more than doubtful if he will succeed in this for Abdul Hamid dreads to leave Yidiz Kiosk and fears for his life as soon as he is outside the pal ance walls.

the Hotel Metropole. Descending the steps of the hostelry, Bauer de- clared to the reserves and others gathered about him that if the peo- pie of Avalon were ashamed of the uniform worn by the boys in blue, they were of necessity ashamed of the stars and stripes, and the Offi- cers of the navy reserves. If the dance hall was too good for enlisted men it was also too good for the officers.
 A cheer went up from the hearers, and the officers when informed of the occurrence. immediately left the dancing pavilion. returning to the ship, where a quick consultation was held. It was decided to cancel all orders for supplies that the gunboat had previously left with Avalon merchants, to hoist anchor and get away from that island as soon as possible.
 The bugler was ordered to sound the assembly call and in twenty min utes time almost the entire ships crew ashore was aboard and at their posts. At F o'clock the anchor came up and the ship got under way.

Denver, July 5.-Col. J. NJ. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, yesterday attacked by Mir. Bryan in a speech at Lincoln, to- day issued the following statement in reply:
 Tn the course of a Fourth of July speech to twelve or fifteen out of the sixty eight delegates from Pennsyl- vania, MT Bryan made certain explicit declarations. He charged that the Pennsylvania delegation was taken away from him by conspiracy against the expressed wish of the great majority of democratic voters. The statement is false. The state conven- ton voted down a resolution endorsing his candidacy by substantial major ity and there is no basis whatever for Bryan's assumption that the members of the convention did not accurately represent the voters who elected them.
 Bryan personally forced the issue before the people, when in flat con- tradiction of his boasted policy of non- interference, he came to Pittsburg, and pleaded his own cause before thou sands in Exposition hall and put his own ticket in the field against the regular candidates. The result of his fervid appeals was the election of three and one-half Bryan delegates and twenty-siX and one-half anti-Bry an delegates to the national conven tion.
 Bryan further asserted, with all solemnity that his opposition to me as national committeeman was the first instance of any interference on his part in local or state politics. l believe. as he unctuously declared, that the people of each community know best what they want done better than any outside person can know. There fore, he Virtuously observes, he has abstained scrupulously from taking part in these controversies. What then was he doing in Kentucky during the last campaign for senator? How does or can he explain his opposition to McGraw in West Virginia, or his begging appeals to democrats in In- diana to defeat Taggart? Did he or did he not try to humiliate Roger Sul- livan and drive him off the commit tee? Did he, or did he not, write this letter to his friend Judge O. P. ThOmp son of Illinois, July IT, 1906?
 '''Mr Sullivan's presence on the committee contradicts all we can say in the party's behalf His corporate connections would harm the party far beyond his power to aid the Organiza- tion, but this could be left to some future convention to deal with if he is actually the choice of the democrats of Illinois. The fact however, that he holds his office by fraud. against the express wishes of a majority of the state convention, makes it impossible

honest democrat My counsel and my help is no longer desired. It was not always so. In 1896 and 1900 the late Senator Jones many times declar- ed that there were just three upon whom he never called for financial as- sistance in vain. One was the late Marcus Daly, another William R. Hearst and the third, myself Through his friend and manager Bryan not only accepted gratefully. but beseech- ingly sought our aid and we gave free ly thousands and thousands of dollars. Bryan knew then and knows now that was as much of a corporation man in 1896 and 1900 as I am in 1908, but did he 'scrupulously abstain from the use of our money to help his cam paigns? Let him answer at his liesure. And what followed?
 After his defeat. Hearst became his patron and paid him thousands of dollars, only to be turned upon without a qualm, though now when again a candidate Bryan lawns up- on him in the hope of gaining sup port. I reap my reward in a vicious, brutal attack from the man who professed to be my friend. Daly died soon enough not to feel the in gratitude of one who accepts a mans assistance and at his first refusal to serve his selfish purpose, spits in his face.
 'I have replied to Bryan's vituper- ative assault upon me with calm ness and restraint. The use of eX- pletives is clearly unnecessary. This simple recital of the plain facts shall be sufficient to enable my fair mind to determine with cer- tainty, at a time when harmony is the chief requisite for party sue cess, who is the self-convicted fal- sifier, who the hypocrite, who is really the most arrogant boss ever known in the democratic party, and, regret to add. an ingrate."

THE ITALIAN MONARCH
 SOMETHING OF SCHEMER
The Neat Manner in Which He Cir cumVented a Visit ot Wife's Rela- tives.

Rome, July fixing Victor Eman- uel, who is not on the best of terms with his wife's relatives, has neatly got the best of them in little scheme they devised to invade Rome. Queen Helena's brothers and sisters, the Mon tenegrin princes and princesses. have made the king very tired by their fre- quent visits to this city where they ran up the bills and left him to settle.
 Recently several members of the princely Montenegrin family discovered that their teeth needed attention and decided that no dentist but Dr. Webb, the American. who looks after the teeth of the Italian royal family, would be good enough. so they planned an- other visit to Rome
 King Victor Emanuel happened to hear of it and immediately ordered Dr. Webb to go to Montenegro and attend the princely patients at their own home. In this way he very cleveFly spoiled the plans of his sisters and brothers-in-la law who had intended to spend several weeks in Italy.
 Another Venetian tower is threaten ed with the fate of the campanile of San Marco which collapsed five, years ago. The beautiful campanile of San StefanO has been weakened in it's foundations and it is feared that the whole structure will have to be taken down.
 Although more than $2O.000 has been spent on strengthening the tower it leans out of the perpendicular to an alarming degree and the authorities have about decided that it must be taken down as it is apt to tumble down any day.

THE DEMOCRATIC ALLIES"
They Are Trying to Form a Combi-
 nation Against Bryan.

Denver, July 5-Convention throngs have been pouring into the city by every train today. Most of the lead CTS and half the delegates are now here. The weather is almost perfect
 The chief interest of the day cen tered in the movement of the allies to galvanize the opposition to Bryan into something like a formidable movement. But their efforts, begun yesterday are not entirely success full. Chief Murphy of Tammany, on whom the hope of the allies" is mitting his forces against Bryan. On the contrary, his lieutenants were passing the word around today that New York's vote will be for Bryan.
 Today Mayor Dahlman of Omaha. one of Bryan's chiefs. said: Bryan will be nominated on the first bal lot and the platform adopted will be in accqrdance with Bryan's personal views"
 Many interesting convention fig ures are added as the delegations come in. The California delegation brought at its head, Theodore Bell. the temporary chairman of the con- vention who will sound the key note when the assemblage meets on Tuesday. There is talk tonight that if his keynote speech struck the right chord, hesitating delegations might be borne by the force of his oratory to the choice of a Yice pres idential candidate from the Pacific coast
 The vice presidential situation has undergone a change during the day owing, it is certain, to very definite subterranean information from Lin coin to the effect that Bryan feels 1t is wise to defer any definite ac- ton on the second place until the first place is disposed of. This is the probable cause of the postponing of caucus action by the New York or other delegations. The arrival of John Mitchell tonight is expected to give impetus to the Mitchell move ment
 Conservatism has been the prevail ing note in the discussion of the subject of the national democratic platform today. Discussion was in dulged in freely among the prospec- tive members of the resolutions com mittee as well as by the leaders of the party generally. Bryan has been quoted as being in harmony with their ideas
 There promises to be a struggle before the resolutions committee over the anti Mormon plank. It is as serted by the Utah delegation that no such plank will be adopted. Their argument is that the Mormon ques- tion is a dead issue. They assert that the practice of polygamy has ceased in Utah and that the only remnant of it lives in a number of old Mormon patriarchs who mar ried their wives long before the practice was declared unlawful.

Senator Long wants one thing dis

to White as writer, or newspaper
man. but to White as the manager for

says he has no purpose in replying
merely to an unfavorable newspaper
criticism, because it is White, any more
than he would give notice to any other
fact that White attacked Senator
Longs record-challenged it--as the
manager of Mr.. Longs senatorial OPP
