WHAT WILL TEXAS
 DO WITH BRYAN? IF AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO MAKE HIM LEADER. A Possibility in the State Convention at Galveston Tomorrow.

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 7.- Texas Democrats, who will meet here on Tuesday in state convention, are very much agitated by the question as to what they shall do with Bryan. The Nebraska statesman, who was recently shorn of his power in his home state, has announced that he will soon become a citizen of the Lone Star state. Mr. Bryan has all ways been highly popular in Texas, but any attempt upon the part of his friends to make him the recognized leader of the party in this state will doubtless provoke opposition from those whose power would thus be Iessened.
 Just now the livest issue in Texas politics is the prohibition question. The party is divided on this matter. and both sdes are seeking to secure the influence of MT Bryan That he will range himself with the "drys" 2 is entirely likely. in view of his recent action in Nebraska.

Proposed Clerical Demon
 strdtion at San Sebastian EXPRESSIVE MEASURES
Prevented What Was a Car list Movement Rather Than a Religious Protest. Vatican Without Sympa- thy With the Former.

San Sebastian, Aug. 7.-The govern ment's rigorous measures and the formal renunciation by the clerical junta of the threatened demonstration insured comparative quiet today and a largely attended bull fight was the chief incident of the day. From day break the streets were patrolled by cavalry, infantry and gendarmes. while heavy bodies of troops were held in readiness at the barracks of Mira mar palace.
 The gravest incident occurred last evening, when groups of clericals as sembled shouting Death to Spain; long live the Pope" Thousands of in dignsnt people rushed toward the manifestants. and only the personal in tervention of the governor at the head of a platoon of police prevented an at tack There were nearly 15O arrests.
 Many amusing scenes were wit messed. Priests leading trudging bands of peasants took to their heels when they found the city in possession of the troops. The peasants, with all their courage gone, were disarmed, and easily persuaded to return to their homes
 The local authorities are convinced that the clerical demonstration marked Carlist plot. The clericals are extremely indignant at the gov ernment's oppressive measures. Senor Urguijo, the chief organizer of the movement, declared that the policy of the government was opposed by the whole Spanish people. Even the queen mother is bitterly hostile to it, he added. Some apprehension arose that the bull fight would cause trouble. as many thousands of manifestants were in the crowd. A large number of them proceeded to the arena, but it passed off without an untoward incl dent Official advices indicate that all is quiet throughout the Basque prov inces. All except a few of those ar rested will be liberated tomorrow.

THERE'S HOPE AT THE VATICAN.

Rome, Aug. 7.-The feeling at the Vatican is optimistic. Hope is enter tained that an understanding with the Spanish government will soon be reached. It was pointed oyt by the Vatican that Premier Canalejas must be grateful to the papacy for restrain ing it's followers from disorders, which might have led to civil war. The Va tican, through Cardinal Merry del Val. the papal secretary, personally in structed the bishops throughout Spain to prevent demonstrations and disor- ders.
 Another reason for the conciliatory attitude of the Vatican is found in the fact that the organizers of the pro- posed demonstration were for the most part Carlists, and any movement that might eventually take on a revolution ary, or anti-dynastic character. which the Vatican has determined 60 be ab- solutely exclusive from the present situation, is countenanced.

AN EDUCATION !. ID CONGRESS IN The Investigation of the
 Charges by Mr. Gore NEW INDIAN LEGISLATION
For Protection of Wards of Government from the Rapacity of Attorneys Will Result, Is Opinion of Officials.

McAlester. okla, Aug. That d congress has dawned for the Indians as a result of the congressional inves- tlgation into the McMurray contracts, is the belief general among the sena- tors. congressman and other govern ment officials assembled here.
 The committee headed by Congress- man Burke of South Dakota arrived here today to inquire into the Gore charges. McAlester is the home town of J. F. McMurray, the attorney. who, with others, holds the contracts. The name of Vice President sherman. who, according to Senator Gore, was men toned by Hammon as the man high CT up." has been eliminated from the investigation so far as MT. Gore is concerned. The senator said he had no object in mentioning Mir Sherman's name other than to relate all that Hammon had said to him.
 It is evident that the whole Indian situation needs to be gone over by the government" said one official today. The Indians are the wards of the gov ernment. and yet they have become the prey of attorneys. For instance one attorney received $12.OOO year for representing one tribe and he resides in New York. only in instances where the interests of the government and the Indians conflict should attorneys be employed.
 "Wbere the sale of land is concerned, the government itself has agreed by treaty to dispose of the land and give the proceeds to the Indians. The evil dence that has developed certainly will enIighten congress on what ought to be done"

PORTUGUESE WAR
 WITH PIRATES
Destruction of the Sea Robbers Stronghold-A Friendly Storm Aid
 ed Many Pirates to Escape.

Victoria, B. C., August Full de- tails of the fighting between the Chinese Portuguese forces and the pirates at Colowan. near Macao. were received by the steamer Empress of India yesterday
 After a weeks bombardment, dur ing which many fights between land ing parties and the pirates took place, the allied forces rushed the walls and captured the village. They found the place practically deserted. most of the pirates having made their es- cape during a storm. There was much loss of life during the fighting. and 40 pirates were captured
 The bombardment was heavy. the Portuguese gunboat Macao alone fir ing 400 shots from her finch guns, wrecking the pirate village and set ting fire to a portion of it.
 The origin of the trouble was the wholesale kidnapping of Chinese boys from schools in Canton. It was found that the majority of the pirate force, nearly 2,5OO had managed to escape by junks, which broke through the blockade during a storm
 Commander Woo, disguised as a coolie, made number of trips to the pirate stronghold to secure informa- tion.

NEAL LYNCH WINNER
 IN RACE WITH DEATH
LINEMAN DISCOV- BRED BY FRIENDS IN DYING
 CONDITION.
Is Rushed to Hospital Where Heroic
 Measures Are Successful.

Rushing Neal Lynch, a lineman in the employ of the Overland Telephone company, through the streets of Phoe- nix in a cab and landing him in the Sisters hospital at an early hour yes terday morning, pr. Win Wylie. with the assistance of an efficient corps of nurses, baffled death which had al- ready laid it's hand up on the brow of the man, and won race as spec tacular as it was gruesome. To the trained eye of the medical man it was apparent that dissolution was rapidly approaching and that the end was but matter of few minutes. when he ordered the patient removed from his bed in rooming house near the cor ner of Washington street and Central avenue and taken to the hospital with all haste.
 That Lynch was suffering from heat prostration was the diagnosis of Dr. Wylie, a condition that to the layman might seem incongruous, considering the hour at which he was discovered by friends, who heard his groans and summoned the physician. And accord ing to pr. Wylie, his friends were do- ing the very one thing they should not have done and were but hastening the mans end while believing they were keeping life in his body.
 Heroic measures were necessary to save the mans life once he was in the hospital A great ice pack was made and the man placed therein. At the first opportunity pr. Wylie took the mans temperature and the mercury in the clinical thermometer, which will register 109 degrees, ran up to the end of the column, so that it was impos- sible to determine accurately, just what his temperature might have been. De- gree by degree the-temperature was brought down until the man began to regain consciousness. Then fearing a subnormal condition, warmth was ap- piled and the man placed in bed. Dur ing yesterday afternoon, the condition of Neal was such as to indicate that the crisis was passed and that he will recover.
 Friends of Neal claim that he had been drinking during the early part of Saturday evening, but claim he was not intoxicated when he went to his room shortly after o'clock. It was three hours later that he was heard grooming and gasping. His friends did what was in their power to bring him to consciousness. but were unsuccess- ful and pr. Wylie was summoned. Realizing the mans condition he or dered his instant removal to the hos pital
 The appearance of a man at Gass brothers chop house shortly after mid- night, who asked that an ambulance be telephoned for, and who an instant lat CT caught hack on the street and dis appeared, gave rise to a story that a man had been assaulted and that his condition was critical. The grooming of Neal had been heard and it was but natural that the presumption should grow that crime was being concealed. The police took a hand in the matter and soon solved the mystery.

ANOTHER THEORY OF
 THE RICE MURDER.

Cleveland. Aug. 7.-The first tangible clew in the mystery surrounding the murder of Will jam l.. Rice it is claimed was discovered today. Private de- tectives this morning produced d bag containing six dead chick ems, which it is said was found near the place where the body was discovered The theory ad- vanced, that Rice on his way home, encountered the chicken thieves and was killed in a fight following an attempt to arrest them. The police refuse to ac- cept any explanation except that the murder was revenge.
 Mrs. Rice and her four daugh- ters arrived at Cleveland this morning from Wianno, Mass. > accompanied by William Nelson Cromwell. Cromwell was asso- ciated with Rice in business ventures and it is reported that he would assume charge of Rice's affairs.
