80 as mug

Mr.. j. w. Glass, one of the MANY

chicken fever, has dined ON the
most expensive hen fruit that
ever tickled the palate and filled the

Ing of some eggs that he bought of a
breeder in New Jersey or the rough
handling of the package by the ex-
press company was responsible for
it. When the eggs arrived in Daw-

fifteen of them were cracked, and as
they could not be used for setting
purposes the next best thing was
done with them.

that at least 5000 persons were pres

Never in the history of the nation

political affairs of the country, the
army, the navy and every walk in life
almost were represented.

the electric display, the splashing
fountain and the gay throng within.

Bryan Writes Sensational Arti-
?|e in His Comm0ner.

Lincoln, Neb., June 16.-In q sensa-
tlonal reply 20 men who have accused
him of trying to be dictator w. ].
Bryan bids defiance to Democrats who
are criticising him and intimates they
are the same men, who, he says, have
been ~treacherous in the past.
His declaration, which will ppear
in the forthcoming issue OF his Com
moner, goes back to the time when he
was a candidate for president, when
he declares, through three campaigns,
he was knitted by Democrats claiming
to be his friends, even committeeman
being in league against him and CIV
ing comfort to the opposition. The
Commoner will say in part:
"Mr. Bryan's body, politically speak
ing, is SCARED over by knives that
have been welded by the representa-
tives of the p%lutocracy inside of the
Democratic party and outside. He has
made three campaigns and in every
one of them he has had to meet
treachery within the party as we'll as
be assailed from without. He has had
to conduct his campaigns through
committeeman, some of whom were in
league with the opposition and in Sc
cret correspondence with the enemy.
He has had to meet false and malic-
ious Misrepresentation on the part of
the papers subsidized by predatory in
terestS."

M'CUMBER ASSAlLS MEASURE
Declares Reciprocity Will lnjure the
American Farmer.

Washington, June Ex-senator NC
Cumber of North Dakota opposed the
reciprocity agreement in the senate
on the ground that it would injure
the American farmer.
Il believe this treaty." said Senator
McCumber, IF enacted into law,
would not only postpone for many
years the consummation of a hope in
dulged by the farmers of the country,
a hope held out to them by every
speaker and writer who sought to Sc
cure and hold their votes for the pro-
tective policy of the country, but that
it's logical result would be to destroy
the policy itself. l must, therefore.

for years or oppose the consumma-
ton of this agreement"

MOVEMENT LED BY DIXON
Republican Opposition to Reciprocity

Washington, June 2O.-Republican
opposition to the Canadian reciprocity
bill in the senate reached the stage of
open revolt. Led by Senator Dixon
or Montana, who again failed in his
demand for an explanation or a speech
In favor of the bill from some of the
Republican leaders who champion the
measure, the Republican opponents
declared that, if the bill passed, many
Republicans would join the Democrats
in an attempt to lower the duties on
all manufactured products.
When TIE corner stone is pulled
out of the system of protective tariff
said Senator Dixon, when the farm
ers' products are thrown into a free
market while his purchases continue
to be protected, there are many good
p~rotectionists in the Republican ranks
here who wifi vote to have the duties
pulled down on iron and steel, chem
1cals, cotton and many other things"
Other Northwestern Republicans
signified by their approval of the
Montana senator's words that the pas
sage of the reciprocity bill, which, it
is admitted, will have a majority of
the votes in the senate, will be at
tended with a fight that threatens to
throw open the whole tariff subject.

clared Senator Crawford of South Da-
kota. I'VE find the senators from

vest of protection, advocating this

in a new political propaganda, it is

ton Is Increasing Depth.

Havana, June 1S.-"No further de-
velopments of Importance in connec-
tion with the ~uncovering of the wreck
of the battleship Maine are probable
said General w. H. BiXby following
the complete circumnavigaiion of the
wreck in a launch by the board of
American officers who are supervising
the work. A minute examination was
made of all portions of the ship now
exposed to view.
This survey convinced the board
that before further exploration is pos
sible it will be necessary to remove
masses of mud, ~aggregating hundreds
of tons, on the spar deck and almost
completely filling the interior spaces
of the i'll fated vessel. The greater
portions of the mud is a tenacious, tar
like mass, extremely difficult of dis
Indignation and removal and complete
ly prevents any satisfactory examina-
ton being made.
In many places the mud is five to
Six feet deep and can only be removed
by the use of streams of water pro-
jected by the most powerful pumps.
Ten Feet of Water Removed.
The water level in the cofferdam
now stands at ten feet below normal,
which is somewhat higher than Sat
urday, owing to a cessation of pump
Ing and consequent slight %percolation
of water. This leakage will necessi-
tate the caulking of some sections of
the cofferdam.
The board has been much embar-
raised by the enormous number Of
visitors to the wreck who are drawn
there mainly through curiosity and in
%terfere seriously with the workmen
and it is probable that access to the
cofferdam will be prohibited to all ex-
cept newspaper correspondents.
The principal result of the investi-
cation of the wreck was the discovery
that the deterioration of the steel
structure is so great as gravely to i'm
peril the project of placing bulkheads
In and floating out the real sections of
the Maine. 1t is impossible, however,
to determine positively whether this
can be done until the water is further
lowered, which probably will be a
week hence.
