CZARINA'S ILLNESS is
BAR TO HER APPEARANCE

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 1s.-The
czarina's illness. although not a dan
gerous one. makes her an infinitely
pathetic figure. Her principal ailment
is a nervous disease. and she suffers
occasionally from acute hysteria. The
case Is also complicated by phlebitis.
She Is never seen publicly at court,
for she cannot face a crowd. and sees
only a few of her relatives and most
intimate friends. The cruise In the
Baltic with the car improved her con-
dition somewhat, but melancholy and
I'm ysticism" soon supervened.

BRYAN ON PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Is Not Question at Present, He
SAYS at Hotel Reception.


Reading. Pa, Feb. T. William ]
Bryan said at an informal reception ut
his hotel:
"The radical difference between the
Democrats and Roosevelt is that he
advocates the national incorporation.of
railroads. which the Democrats object
. on the ground that it deprives the
state of their control over commercial
interests.
Public ownership is not question
and will not be until people are given
regulations which they regard as suf-
ficient test. do not believe the rail-
roads will resist effective legislation
and am in favor of proceeding rapid
~ to test the question by the passage
of measures authorizing the interstate
commerce commission to ascertain the
value of railroads and the amount OF
their watered stock and to make re-
duction of rates where extortionate.
The distinctions between Roosevelt's
policies and the Democratic theories
were made, Mr.. Bryan said, because
he was asked for enlightenment by
some of those present.
