corporate influence having any

How can we expect good gov
eminent from corporation law

A bill was introduced in the
last Legislature barring corpora

NOW, Just as MT. bryan ll0U

emperors, kings and prime min
listers had received him; after he
had been the talk of the Russian
duma and the hero Of the inter
parliamentary conference: when
his friends We're arranging in
his honor a reception in Madison
Square garden on a scale and
with a national distinction almost
unprecedented in American poll
tics-just at that critical time.
when Mr.. Bryan was preparing
an address to his country. an odd
and sinister thing happened.
Thomas F. Ryan went from
New York to London under an
assumed name. accompanied by
amagazine editor with Wall Street
connections. This editor secret
ly called on Mr.. Bryan at his
London hotel and asked him to
meet Mr.. Ryan. Mr.. Bryan
promptly resented the >ugges-

Mr.. Bryan was adamant.
Twice the editor repeated his
visit. He assured Mr.. Bryan
that Mr.. Ryan had grown tired
Of Wall Street. He had with
drawn from every trust but the
American Tobacco company.
He would withdraw from that,
too, as soon a. he could. Mr..
Ryan's nature longed for a closer

Democracy. He was overcome
by a desire TO do something for
his country. He wanted to meet
Mr.. Bryan.

A LIVELY COLLOQUY
BETWEEN SENATOR'S ALDRrCH AND
 PULLMAN YESTERDAY.
south CareIinn's Senator Attempted to Have Senate Pass His Resolution
 Calling for Informaficn on Bank Loans.

Washington, March S.--A lively coi- ioduy between Senators Aldrich and Tillman took place today when the South Carolina Senator attempted to have the Senate pass his resolution calling on the Comptroller of the Cur rency to furnish q detailed statement of all loans made by national banks in New York upon collateral security dur ing the six months from June to Dec. 1, 1907.
 Mir. AidFich suggested that as drawn, the measure had many objectionable features. but he thought a resolution would be framed to give the informa- ton desired If 1t should be referred to the Committee. on Finance.
 Mir. Tiilman demanded to know the objections to the resolution. MT. AL drich replied that the chief objection was the provision calling for the names of people making loans.
 T think that would be the very worst think we could do sr the present conditions" said Mir. Aldrich.
 MT. Tillman disavowed any special purpose in having the names, and Mir. Hale asked that the matter be allowed to go over until tomorrow so that the chairman of the Finance Committee and MT. Tillman might agree on form Of resolution.
 Mir. TiIlman said he did not want to go into the private affairs of banks. but merely wanted to get at the facts concerning stock gambling and the loaning of funds of depositors for stock gambling purposes.
 Mir. Depew said what was done in Now York was done elsewh ere, and the inquiry might be extended to other places.
 But" shouted Mr. Tillman, most States have closed their bucket shops. and New York has not shut up it's big bucket shop, or gambling hell, that is swallowing up the little fellows"
 south Carolina would be the first to suffer if the New York Exchange were closed,'' said Mir. Depew, and her in dustrial institutions would feel the ef- feet of a loss of credit if New York Is hampered."
 "T have never discovered that New York is supplying money from disla- terested motives" retorted MT. TIL man; i've pay for everything we get"
 Mir. Depew said st was safe to say that a majority of demand loans are made for legitimate purposes. He added that he was ready to co-operate in the suppression of gambling in New York.
 The resolution was then referred to the Committee on Finance.

ates Fear of More Bloodslled

The Chinese consul general is work

member of each tong, and the. general
belief In Chinatown is that he will be

The police are taking no chances, and
as there is feeling of unrest among
the highbinders they are not so san

lieve however. that the arrest of the
three imported gun lighters Tuesday
has had a salutary effect. Every pre-
caution is being taken by Detective
Sergeant . McMahon and Sergeants
Matheson and Layne to prevent further
hostilities, and the increased squad has
been instructed to be extra yigilant i'm
