Guarunty of Deposits.

Will Discuss BOnaparte's Opinion M to

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN. NEB.. Au-
gust s.-No incident worthy OF note
Only a few callers journeyed out in
the sweltering heat, and these for the
most part came merely to pay their
respects. Mr.. Bryan thus was enabled
to transact good deal OF business, he
having been occupied nearly the entire
day with his secretary, Mr. Rose. an
swering letters and outlining several
speeches which he will make in the
course of the next month.
In view of the Bonaparte opinion,
that national banks cannot comply
with ollahomas State law with re-
spect to the guaranty Of deposits. a
subject In which Mr.. Bryan is vitally
interested. it is to be presumed that
he VIII make 1t one of the leading
issues Of fthe campaign Already he
has decided to make 1t the feature OF
his Topeka speech. the latter part OF
August.
Mr.. Bryan was not advised OF the
causes which yesterday prevented his
unanimous election as member of the
Typographical Union of Lincoln, along
with Governor Sheldon. and he was dis
inclined to DISCUSS the subject beyond
stating that only a short time ago
large delegation of the Central Labor
Union, with which the Typographical
Union Is allied, had visited his homa
and presented him with resolutions
expressing confidence in him. It is
said tonight that trade reasons and
a desire to avoid politics were the fac
tors which controlled those Offering
objections to the election.
Secretary Of State Junkin late to day
renderedeh his decision In the case Of .hss
protest OF Victor Rosewater, RepuSli-
can national committeeman, against
the placing OF the same names on the
official ballot for presidential electors
under the title OF Democratic and Peo-s
ple's Independent party.
E Secretary Iunkin decides against this
protest on the ground that the same
men were named for electors by both
conventions and that no protest having
been entered by any member of either
party, he assumes that the action OF
the convention was satisfactory to the;
voters they represented. s3f

Candidate Taft has consented
n to make several short
speeches into talking ma
chimes for reproduction, AS
the process of making phonograph
record is somewhat different from
making a campaign speech from the
back of car platform or from a
front porch, Mr.. Taft to-day found
doing a bit of rehearsing for the real
records. Several experimental talks
were made and repr reduced with vary
Ing degrees of satisfaction. The
speeches which single record will
hold average about three hundred
words in length. The topics to be dis
cussed for repetition in this way have
not as yet been decided upon. AS a
sample OF what the machine can do,
the candidate was treated to the re-

as the date for the rally OF Virginia
Republicans here. He will make a
political address from the porch of the

Representative Siemp and Sheriff
Brown.
With the Homestead comfortably
filled with the legal fraternity of Vir-
ginla and their families, and with a
prevailing desire to meet Judge Taft,
his spare moments to-day were few.
Ir. Taft's mail continues to increase,
and every letter receives his per-
sonal attention.
Friends and Enemies.
The members OF the Virginia Bar
Association, which begins Its twen-

members of the Virginia bar differ
with Judge Taft in politics, he found
many personal acquaintance and
friends in the delegation, and an In
terchange of Fluctuations took place.
Mr.. Taft was complimented on his evil
dences of good health. He will address
the association on Thursday, and has
been invited to assist In the entertain

YSTER BAY. N. ". August a.
Whether the dismissal from
the West Point Military
~ Academy OF the eight cadets
who had been found guilty OF
hazing is to be made permanent or the
young men reinstated through con gres-
sionaI action or executive clemency, is
still undetermined. The attitude of the
government is set forth in an official
statement issued to-day by President
Roosevelt. through Rudolph Foster,
who is. the acting private secretary to
the President in the absence Of Sec
retary Loeb, now on his vacation.
The President characterizes as err
earlier by Secretary Loeb and Sec
retary of War Luke E. Wright. To-
days statement explains that the
President has not as yet. heard final
ly from the Secretary of War as to
the latter's recommendations in the
matter and that Therefore the ma
tional Executive has reached no final
decision. BY Secretary Loeb the Pres
ident had been reported as favorfnE
kthe dismissal Of the cadets. Suisse
quentIy and following a conference
| with Mr.. Roosevelt, Secretary Wright
told the newspaper men that de-
cision to reinstate offending cadets had
been reached.
The statement issued by the Presi-
dent at Sagamore Hill to-day follows
| "No action whatever has been
taken by the President in the cases
| of the cadets, the statement that
they were originally ordered dis
/ missed and that they had been

eous. An appeal was originally
| made to the President to interfere.
He declined to take any action or
Interfere in any way until the
Secretary of War had expressed
his opinion, the view of the de-
partment then being seemingly
that the cadets should be turned
out. but the secretary not having
! come TO any final decision. The
secretary then notified the Presi-
dent that instead of making amy
report, he would like to discuss the
matter with the President In per-
son. He accordingly came. and
the discussion was held, but no
final decision was reached, the
| secretary stating that he was
not able to make final
and definite recommendation as
to all the cases, and pre-
ferred to make none as regards any

therefore. of course. he came to no
