NEBRASKA THE BRIGHT star
MIR. Bryan Promises TO Remodel state
Laws on Democratic
Lines.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 5,-william j.
Bryan today issued the following state
ment:
The election has gone against us by a
deciSive majority. The returns are not all
in, and It is impossible at this time to
analyZe them or to say what causes con-
trlbuted most to the republican victory. We
made our fight upon a platform which en-
bodies what we believe to be good for the
American people, but II Is for the people
themselves to decide what laws they desire
and what methods of government they
prefer.
Il have faith that the publicity we asked
for will yet commend itself to the American
people, that the election Of senator's by the
people will be secured, that the iniquities
OF the trusts will arouse an opposition that
will result In the elimination of the princi-
pie OF private monopoly. I am confident
that the people will see the necessity for
the labor legislation and the tariff reduc-
tion which our platform demanded. am
confident, too. that the educational work
done in this campaign will result i'm secur-
ing greater protection to bank depositors.
The above are the most prominent reforms
for which we lsbored, and l believe that
these reforms will yet come, together with
more effective regulation OF railroads and
independence for the Filipinos.
BOuQuet for MT. Mack
Il desire to commend the work Of our ma.
tional committee. am entirely satisfied
with MIR. Mack as the chairman and with
the work of the members of the committee
do not see what they could have done
more than they did, and as for myself ]
put forth every effort in my power to .
cure victory for our cause. The nonnira-
ton came from the hands of the voters:
have obeyed their command and have led
as best l could. Words will not express
my gratitude for the devotion which has
been shown by millions Of democrats dur
ing the last twelve years. Neither am
able TO adequately express appreciation for
the kind words which have been spoken
since the election.
IF could regard the defeat as purely
personal one, @ould consider It j
blessing rather than a miSfortunate, for
am relieved Of the burdens and responsible.

BALKAN SITUATION ACUTE
RumOr that Austrian Troops Are
Throwing Up Intrenchments
Near BELGRADE.

LONDON, Nov. 5,-The Balkan situation
has taken on an alarmst aspect IN the last
day or two, owing to renewed rumors that
hostilities are imminent between Servia
and Austria Hungary. The Austrian troops
are said to have been intrenching on the
Servian frontier, while Servia has been
making hasty preparations for war and the
removal of the seat OF government from
Degrade TO less exposed city.
II is difficult TO ascertain the extent of
the truth OF these reports. which are be-
lIeved 10 be greatly exaggerated. although
doubtless both countries are preparing for
possibilities. At the servian legation 1t is
asserted that the rumors are unfounded
and that Servia is maintaining a correct
attitude pending the proposed international
congress.

Never in the history Of the Buckeye

certainty about the election of

G. P. Taft in minutes but they are
more afraid Of their constituents at

held out the newly elected members
would prefer for personal reasons to
vote for Mr. Taft, but there Is strong
feeling prevailing throughout The state
against him, and the best politicians
declare today that he will not wiz
in the race unless there is decided
change in sentiment in the next few
weeks.
Foraker is holding his own and /,

women followers, dressed In white,
went to Oak Hill cemetery yesterday

superintendent of the burying ground
drove them out. Scores of other ad-
herenAS OF Spangler climbed South

promised ito meet them, saying there
together they could view the passing

the hours passed and the predicted

Spangler himself did not appear they
plodded their way down the mountain
