BECAUSE OF DISCUSSION
Reason Bryan Will Not Attend New
York Dinner.

X hlS0oNh ~ all" VIII lNOt <AtlCIIO NEW
q York Dinner.
Washington, April 6.-Representa-
tive Sulzer of New York has received
the following telegram from w. j.
tended to him to attend the Jefferson
day dinner in New York:
"Have withdrawn acceptance. The
discussion makes it unwise to co."
The National Democratic clubs in
vitation to Mr.. Bryan to attend the
Jefferson day banquet in New York
was conveyed to him on the occasion
of his recent visit to Washington by
Representative SulZer, who is mem
Der Of the committee on invitations.
MIR. Bryan, in response, authorized Mr.
Sulzer to inform President John Fox
of his acceptance, to apprise him that
he preferred to be the last speaker
and that his subject would be "The
Art of Government"
The making public of this accept
ance was followed by counter move
ment on the part of the anti-Bryan
faction in the National Democratic
club and the statement became circu-
lated that though Mr.. Bryan would at
tend the dinner he would not. be one
of the speakers among whom were
scheduled Governor Johnson of Min
nesota, Judge Harmon and Judge
Gray. An opposition dollar dinner
then was proposed, but it's promoters
did not secure Mr.: Bryan's consent to
attend and speak. The telegram from
Mr.. Bryan to Representative Sulzer
eliminates controversy disagreeable
in the extreme to the Nebraskan, say
his friends, which has been given
wide publicity. Commenting on the
telegram Mr.. Sulzer said:
TT is too bad so many conflicting
statements have been published re-
garding the invitation extended to Mr..
Bryan by the National Democratic
club. do not care to say anything
about the matter except that sincere
ly regret that these conflicting state
ments have placed the National Demo
cratic club and also Mr.. Bryan in a
false attitude"

the actual receipts are that much
more than have been turned into the
state treasury by Mr. Warner and his
deputies.
According to the statement of Mr.
Heilborn, the inspector in charge, the
alleged discrepancies and the report
made by him is as complete as the alb
sence of the most important records of
the department will admit.

ports, afHdavits and out shipment rec

that Mr.. Warner told him they had
been destroyed. The only book of
record left, he says, was Mr. Warmers
record of receipts and his monthly
payments to the state auditor.
Mr.. Warmers bond was in the sum
Of $4,000, given by the National Sc
curity company, and this, according to
an opinion given by the state legal
department, made part of the re-
port, can be attacked for its full value.
Mr.. Warner declares that SO far as
he is concerned there is no shortage
and he denies destroying records

of Illinois, now public printer in the
Philippines, has been appointed pub
lie printer here. Mr.. Leech will sue
coed Public Printer Stillings, whose
resignation was accepted some days

Bloomington, ILL.,, although he served
respectively as compositor, proofread-
er and foreman in the government
printing Office here from 1889 to 1901,
at which time he was selected as pub
lie printer for the Philippines. He
has made for himself most enviable
record as an organizer and an admin
istrative officer there, according to re-
ports in the possession of the insular
bureau. His appointment has been
cordially endorsed by Secretary Nor
rison, speaking for the American Fed

pension to permit of his occupancy of
his present official position.
Mr.. Leech is about forty-five years
of age.

BRYAN SUPPORTERS BOLT
Popuist Convention Names Watson
for President.

st. Louis, April 6.-The Populist
convention nominated Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia for president and
Samuel Williams of Indiana for vice
president of the United States. The
result was reached after two stormy
sessions, throughout which the Ne
braska and Minnesota delegations,
working in the interest of William J.
Bryan, strove desperately to bring
about an adjournment of the conven-
ton until after nominations had been
made by the Democratic and Repub.
lican parties.
Hopelessly outnumbered and with
out any chance whatever of gaining
their object the Nebraska men fought
desperately to the last and when Jay
w. Forrest of Albany, N. Y, mounted
the platform to place Watson in NOM
ination they withdrew from the con-
vention, attended by the Minnesota
delegation, which consisted, however,
of only one man, T. J. Meighan.
At the morning session the Ne
braska men made decided Roadway.
They filibustered cleverly and with a
knowledge of parliamentary procedure
that several times threw the conven-
ton into fearful snarls

T|CHTENS THE SCREWS
House Rules Committee Limits Op=
portunity for Filibustering.
PROVISIONS MOST DRASTIC
Mr.. DaIzeII Declares the Purpose of
the Rule Is ito Release the House
From the Grasp of This Idiotic Fill
buster" Recently Inaugurated.

Washington, April 6.-The commit
tee on rules of the house of represen-
tatives frightened the screws" on the
Democrats with the view to reducing
to minimum the opportunity for OBJ
structive tactics. After Mr.. Williams,
the minority leader, had forced a roll
call on the adoption of the journal
Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.) presented a rule
whereby house bills with senate
amendments shall be sent to confer
ence or the amendments agreed to,
without any intervening motion of any
kind being allowed. This rule will
permit but one roll call on either of
the two propositions.
The rule also contained a drastic
provision that for the remainder of
the session a motion to take a recess
shall be privileged and have prece-
dence over a motion to adjourn, the
question to be decided without debate
or amendment
A further provision of the order was
that during the remainder of the ses-
sion it shall be in order to close de-
bate by motion In the house before
going into committee of the whole,
which motion shall not be subject to
amendment or debate.
When the reading of the rule was
concluded the Republicans broke out
into applause and derlsive laughter at
the expense of the Democrats.
"Will the minority have the usual
twenty minutes to discuss this ruler"
Mr.. Williams inquired.
Right Of Debate Cut off.
"They will not" curly replied Mr.
Dalzell
81 just wanted the house and the
country to know that fact" Mr.. Will
lame remarked.
Mr.. Dalzell then reiterated his state
ment that the purpose of the rule was
to expedite public business, to re-
lease the house from the grasp of this
idiotic filibuster inaugurated by the
gentleman from Mississippi" The Re-
publicans applauded this statement,
but the Democrats greeted it with
boots, jeers and derisive laughter.
Mr.. Dalzell said the rule would en-
able the majority Ito enact and make
into law the great supply bills upon
which the existence of the country de-
ponds" More Republican applause
and Democratic hooting ensued.
Mr.. Williams forced a roll call on
the adoption of the rule and it was
adopted, 1873 to 119.
Consideration of the District of Co.
lumbia appropriation bill then was re-
sumed, but only after another roll call.
The Democrats did not permit the
fact that the appropriation bill had
been taken up to interfere with their
tactics and the filibuster was kept up.
Mr.. Henry (Tex.), with an approving
nod from Mr.. Williams, moved to
amend the bill by striking out the first
six words. The amendment was lost
and it thereupon became evident that
the Democrats would place every OBJ
stacle in the way of the bill.

CAMBRIDGE AGAIN WINS.
Defeats Oxford for Third Year in
Succession,

Putney, Eng, April 6.-For the
third year in succession Cambridge
won the varsity boat race, defeating
Oxford by the handsome margin of
about two and a half lengths. The
light blues-the Cambridge crew
fully justified the confidence reposed
in them by the riverside experts and
forged to the front from the crack of
the pistol and led from start to finish.
The result never was in doubt In
spite of the advantage of the dark
blues-the Oxford men-in winning
the toss, which enabled them to
choose the Surrey side of the river
and thus escape much of the heavy
water at the start, the extra stamina
of the Cambridge men quickly sent
the nose of their boat ahead and en-
abled them to assume lead which
they held comfortably to the end.

convention-co Convention Declares in
Favor of Tariff Reform.

Manila, April 6.-The Democratic
convention in the Philippines defeated
by one vote resolution condemning
the Taft administration of the islands.
The convention endorsed Bryan for
president and adopted a resolution de-
manding tariff reform Six delegates
were elected to the national Demo-
cratic convention.
The adoption of the insular platform
almost caused split in the party. One
faction presented a series of radical
resolutions condemning specific acts
of the government and condemning
the failure of Secretary Taft to secure
tariff reform, as well as acts of the
administration while he was governor.
The other faction declined to dis
cuss local political conditions except
as to the tariff and the need of con-
gressional action to secure the intro
duction of capital into the islands.
After an exciting session of four
hours duration the conservative meas
ures were adopted by large major
