BRYAN REPLIES
To HIS CRITICS
Takes Rap at Clark, Waiter
son and Hearst.
LATTEk'S Aid IS HARMFUL


Benefit to the Nominee When He
Fights the Ticket Than When He
Supports 1t.
Lincoln, Neb., July 13.-Defending
his course at the Baltimore conven-
tion, William j. Bryan, in the forth
coming issue of the Commoner, re
plies sharply to attacks made upon
him by Editor Henry Watterson and
Champ Clark. Answering the speak
er of the house he says:
'If, as We now learn, Mr.. Bryan has
been under suspicion for twelve years
in the Clark household, how shall we
explain the fact that Clark orators
were so profuse in their declarations
of loyalty to Bryan and Organism?
IF Mr.. Clark ever writes an article
on Mr.. Underwood's progresaiveness'
IL is safe to guess that he will not
quote any of the eulogies he formerly
pronounced on the distinguished reac-
tlonafy from Alabama"
Used to Watterson's Venom"
As to Colonel Watterson, Mr.. Bryan
says that be has been for years an
object of the venom of the Kentucky
editor.
Mr.. Watterson," continues Mr.. Bry-
an, "boasted few weeks ago that Mr..
Bryan had included him in the list of
men available for the Democratic
nomination. He must not use that en-
dorsement any more. Recommends
tions, like eggs, depend for their val
ue upon their date"
Mr.. Bryan twits w. r. Hearst as
follows:
IF Mr.. Hearst is going to advocate
the ticket by attacking the candidate
Governor Wilson will soon be praying
for an Independent ticket like that put
up by Mr.. Hearst in 1908.
MIR. Hearst's power to harm the
party is less on the outside. He is
more fatal as an adviser than as an
opponent. Mr.. Clark owes his defeat
more to Mr. Hearst's counsel than to
any other cause"

Illinois Scion Renews Attack on Colo

ing the Republican Campaign Fund
in the Election OF 1904.
Washington, July 13.-Renewing his
attack upon his opponents Senator
Lorimer began the conclusion of his
speech of defense in the senate.
His belligerent attitude was ap-
parent from the outset He launched
once more in an attack on Colonel
Roosevelt and characterized as "inac-
curate and unreliable" the report OF
the minority members of the commit
tee that investigated his election.
Well filled galleries and an atten-
tive audience of house members heard
Mr.. Lorimer. Dramatic gestures again
characterized his delivery, as he strobe
back and forth in the center aisle of
the senate chamber
The attack on Colonel Roosevelt.
win hN OpGhId MS cIBttAus WAS
based on testimony given by George
B. Cortelyou before senate commit
tee regarding the $1,9O0.O 900 campaign
fund raised for the Republican presi-
Dental campaign of 1904.
Mr.. Lorimer referred to Colonel
Roosevelt as the custodian of all the
morals of the country, private and
public"
"Of course" he exclaimed, mot
cent of that $1,000, 900 could have been
contributed by the predatory wealth
of the country. Surely all OF IL was
the free gift of the common people OF
whom this man is the great champion.
No malefactor contributed to that fund
only the common people of whom he
was the guardian"
Tsft-Roosevelt Letter.
The letter from President Taft to
Colonel Roosevelt expressing the hope
that Lorimer would be ousted, which
became public In the pre-convention
campaign, again was taken up by Lori
mer. He drew attention to President
Taft's phrase emphasizing the "neces-
sity OF winning" He declared his ene-
| mics had tried to win mot by free
and fair fight" but by sneaking up be-
hind like thief in the night.
Was ever mortal man more com.
pletely surrounded by conspiracy and
intrigued" exclaimed Lorimer dra-
matically. The president of the
United States, William Taft; Theo-
dors Roosevelt, the ex-president; a
former Democratic candidate for the
presidency, William Jennings Bryan,
| and the trust press of the country; all
were in it-all joined in the conspiracy
to poison the minds of the citizenship
in order that one man might be de
stroyed to satisfy the malice of the
| most corrupt set of newspaper owners
| known to the history of the country. /"
| Mr.. Lorimer contended that the
Helm committee of the Illinois legis-
| lature was subterfuge to bring about
second inquiry by the United States
| senate. He contended that the Helm
| inquiry had not been conducted by
| Illinois legislators, but by Editor
Kohlsaat-the priestly Kohlsaat-John
j. Healy and the Hearst newspapers. !"

 NOT IMPLICATED

Seoule, Korea. July H.-The direct ex- animation of the 123 converted Koreans, charged With plotting against the govern ment and the life of Count Terauchi the Japanese governor general of Korea, de- veloped a most confusing situation. The preliminary examination began June 2t and majority of the prisoners set up I denial of all the charges.
 Tn answer to the judges questions they said their previous statement before the police examiner were false and were made because they were beaten or threatened. A few of the prisoners admitted connection with an organization which had for its purpose the independence of Korea. Baron Yunchiho, former member of the Korean cabinet. openly admitted having made false statements at the preliminary trial to save himself
 A majority of the prisoners are Presby- terian converts. Yunchiho is a Methodist At the preliminary hearing several prls- oners made alleged confessions implicat ing a number of missionaries, asserting that the missionaries were cognizant of the plans and approved the conspiracy The chief judge probed deeply into the alleged connection of the missionaries in the conspiracy but the prisoners em- pratically denied they were implicated

 Ten Days

 If is understood that nearly all the in- iured have recovered sufficiently to re- turn home wit hthe company and that but few will be permanently injured.
 The sad occurrenc cast gloom over the company and while those who were not injured took part in the maneuvers, the bows were too much depressed to re ceive much benefit from the instructions. Company l., East Lake, under command of Captain Tom Lea, and Company B. under command of Captain Carlisle, both of the Fourth regiment, will leave for Anniston on the 18th to attend the en- campment

Panama, July 14.-The presidential cleo tions which were held today throughout the republic were conducted in an or derly manner All the electors belong to the Porras party, which lnsures the unanimous election of Dr, Beisarlo Por- ras on August 30 next when the electoral assemblies convene.
 Pedro Dlaz, candidate of President the impossibility of election, withdrew at the last moment.
 The government published fly sheets of correspondence with the American com mittee regarding the manner in which the elections should be coiseucted. The com mittee insisted that the police should not be armed and that the authorities should not persecute citizens during the election period.
 Although President l.rosmena had is- sued decree prior to the municipal cleo lions that the police authorities should be under the American commissioners control, he gave contradictory instructions after the defeat of his partisans in those election. The police force was increased and other measures were taken which the American commissioners thought would make possible freedom of elections and for several days there was a strainng of the friendly relations between the President and the Americans.

CONGRESS- EXPECTED
 ID ADJOURN SOON
Panama Canal Will Be the Unfinished Business of
 the Senate

Washington, July 14.-The end of the Lorimer case and the disposition of the Senate to postpone until autumn the im- peachment trial of Judge Robert w. Arch bald of the commerce court, rorecast an earlier adjournment of Congress than has heretofore been indicated.
 The Panama canal bill, despite Great Britains request for delay, has been made the unfinished business of the Sen ate It must go to conference with the House however. The British contention that the provision which practically gives free tolls to certain American ships IS in contrayention of the Hay-Pauneefote treaty. is not without support in both House and Senate
 The democratic tariff bills and the sup ply bills are not expected to take much of the Senate's time.
 The Beall bill to prohibit dealings In cotton futures and the bill to create a department of labor with a secretary in the Presidents cabinet, will come up In the House this week and both seem as sured of passage.
 The Lever bill, much the same as the Beal bill, but drawn against trading in futures in wheat and other grains, may also come up. The Stanley committee which investigated the so-called steel trust meets tomorrow to discuss the re- port drawn by Chairman Stanley. At least two and probably three reports from the committee are expected.

TENDENCY IN STEEL
 MARKET UPWARD

New York, July 14.-There has been a seasonable decrease in the volume of or ders for finished steel products after six months of unprecedented activity. The tendency of prices is still upward, how ever, after an advance of g to $i per ton, which means that specifications on a heavy tonnage are assured in reasonable time. There is also a large volume of latent business.
 The Steel corporations June statement indicates that shipments were 56363 tons less than new orders which aggregated 1,o00, ,000 tons last month, while operations were 90 per cent of full capacity, a net gain of 15 per cent in six months.
 Railroad equipment orders called for about 100000 tons of steel products last week. Rail contracts are unusually light, less than 15,000 tons, but soms desirable car orders were quietly placed.
 Steel building contracts called flor 10000 tons of fabricated shapes including 16000 tons for railroad structural work.
