BRYAN NO BOLTER.

Named at Primary.

Lincoln, July 27.-Mr. Bryan will not
bolt any OF the nominees to be named
at the direct primary on August 16,
neither will he give up the fight to re.
store, as he put II. control OF the Demo-
cratic party in the State into the hands
Of men who are not brewers and distiIlers
or their political agencies. His energies
this year will be largely devoted TO help
ing county option candidates for the leg
islature 10 election.
Mr.. Bryan was almost as cheerful as
ever to-day on his return from Grand
Island. He said he made the fight be-
cause he believed it was his duty to save
the party from defeat. and that an
espcusal Of the liquor cause or control
by its chief benehciaries would bring
defeat
His loss OF leadership in the State he
regarded as merely temporary Appar-
emily what he likes least is the oppor-
tunity it affords for enemies to taunt him.
The only comment he made on the propo-
sition was:

New York, July 27.-One of the
boldest ventures in American fnan-
cial history, and, particularly, in the
history Of American railroading,
came to grief to-day, when there
was transferred to Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., of this city and a syndi-
cate headed by them the bulk Of a
huge block Of American railroad
securities, acquired in the past nine
months by British and Canadian
syndicate, headed by DR.. +. S.
Pearson, one of the worlds best
known engineers. The project was
a reminder Of Hartman in concep-
ton, however unlike him in execu-
ton. The men behind it, from the
manner in which they carried on
their operations, contemplated no
more nor less than a dominant in
terest in a chain of railroads ex-
tending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast.
HAD MANY SUCCESSES.
DIT. Pearson. a Canadian, who is said
70 have been professor OF engineering
at Tufts College. is an engineer as well
known 70 British and Canadian fnan-
ciers. from the success OF his operations
in Spanish h-American railroads. as Rob
"a Pearson. Sir weetman. from the
profit derived from tunnel building
in Great Britain and this country. It
was Sir weetman who built the steinway
tunnel under the East River
DR.. Pearson, who Is not related TO the
other engineer Of that name, Eor asso-
ciated with him in business. attracted
the attention OF British and Canadian
investors principally by the organlza-
tion and operation OF tr'mway compa-
niles In South America and Mexico. In
vestors and bankers derived remarkably
handsome profits from these enterprises,
so that on embarking in business in this
country he had powerful financial back
ing.
The first big venture OF Or. Pearson and
his associates in this country was made
In the latter part OF last year. II was
in the stocks and bonds OF the Rock
Island Company, which owns the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Com
pany. which In turn owns practically all
Of the stock Of the old Chicago Rock Is
land and Pacific Railway Company, one
Of the best granger lines.
Buy Rock Island stock.
DR.. Pearsan made a physical examina-
tion OF the company's properties and on
his report the Canadian and British finan-
ciers, who had long followed him and
profited through him. bought heavily Of
Rock Island securities. Seemingly. Judge
W. II. Moore and d. G. Reid. the men
then in absolute control of Rock Island,
were willing 10 sell them.
In the early part of this year DR.. Pear
son and one of his associates, Percival
Farquhar. said 20 be an Englishman,
and man Of whom little IS here known,
were elected directors OF the Rock Island
Company. It was given out at the time
that the syndicate represented by them
had acquired about 20 per cent OF the
cOmpany's capital stock. The company
has outstanding S90.oO0OOO common and
S5OOO0,OOO preferred. The syndicate bought
more heavily OF the preferred than of
the common and also bought heavily Of
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Rail-
road collateral trust bonds. SO here was
a tidy investment to begin with
