motorman, whose name the officials refused
to give, was able to stop the train in time
TO keep IL from going into the street, but
il was a close shave, for the first a hung

As the car left the rails the lights went
out and the passengers rushed for the doors,
but they we're halted by fear when loud
explosions began and the street and all the
buildings near by were brilliantly lighted
up. The painfully bright flashes drove the
men and women back into the car and sew

from shock and fright.
Wreckers cleared the tracks after an

The Hearst people. II was said yesterday,
ave about made up their minds 10 hold
tn cir national convention Of the National
party Uhe National Independence League)
at Chicago on or about July n. There are
four cities under consideration Boston
New York, Chicago and San Francisco-but
in all probability Chicago will be selected,
As TO Mr. Hearst's Official announce
ment that the National party would not
support Theodore Roosevelt, William D..
Bryan or Gov. johnson OF Minnesota, 1t
ia now known definitely That the Hearst
ties are determined first, last and AL the
time 10 defeat Bryan at the polls in Novem-
Der should Bryan be nominated at Denver.
There has never been a settlement Of the
differences between Mr.. Hearst and Mr.,
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan on his recent visits to
New York city has called on MIR. Hearst.
but Mr.. Hearst has not been responsive.
II was said yesterday that when Mr.. Bryan
comes here again on April 10 to tour the
State, on the eve Of the Democratic State
convention at Carnegie Hall on April H..
he will again call on Mr.. Hearst for the
purpose Of talking over the situation.
The Bryan people, II was learned yester-
day from those who have discussed this
Bryan-H Hearst situation with both MIR.
BRYAN and Mr.. Hearst, feel that Mr. Hearst
has been altogether too conservative IN
his recent public speeches and utterances.
Mr.. Hearst and his friends have not as yet
Qiven public expression 10 their views on
Mr.. Bryan and MIR. Bryan's public utter
ances, but IL was minated very strongly

story Of Mr.. Hearst's enthusiastic support
Of Mr., Bryan in 1895 and 1900 OF PIT.
Bryan's refusal TO aid Mr.. Hearst in his
candidacy for the Presidential nomination
in the national convention OF 1904. The
Hearst people say that their chieftain in
that convention was a candidate for the
nomination, that Mr.. Bryan was not a can
didate and that he should have repaid the
LOYALTY Of Mr.. Hearst in 1895 and 1900 by
AoinR all in his power to bring about Mr..
nearst's nomination. Mr.. Bryan refused
aid and support 70 Mr.. Hearst in that con,
yention and got upon the platform and
seconded the nomination OF ex-senator
Garden-sass Cockrell Of Missouri, who had
no more chance for the nomination than a
feather boa has in a blast furnace.
II was stated most emphatically yester-
day by those in Mr.. Hearst's confidence
that while he would not raise a hand TO de-
feat Bryan's nomination at Denver he
would Use every means at his com mand
