House. as II by authority. that the
President had decided to stand firm and
make another demand on Germany.
would not listen to argument, but
would demand first an absolute and alb
ject surrender by Germany to the terms
of tho first note of May IS.
To this, 1t is said, the rift so widened
as to make the resignation of Mr..
Bryan matter of only his own con-
venience. He refused to accede to the
rciteration Of the Presidents policies
at last Tuesdays Cabinet meeting.
Then came the Cabinet meeting OF
last Friday. Mr.. Bryan made his argu-
ment again. stating what he thought to
be the real sentiments of Germany
toward this country, and Gcrmany's
real object in sending the friendly note
of May IS. He expressed the view that
Foreign Affairs Minister Won Jagow
had manifested the desire of his gov
eminent to safeguard. whenever posi- :
bic. the rights Of American merchant
men. and to adopt the principles of
President Wilson'S investigation and
arbitration treaties which went out
after those treaties were written by
Mr.. Bryan and necessarily Endorsed by
President Wilson
The break was absolute on last Fri
day. Mr.. Bryan saw then that the con-
nict was irreconcilable.

| 1t was ascertained to-day that Mr..
| sryan secured in the note of May 10
the insertion of the following sentence:
expressions OF regret and offers of

OF neutral ships sunk by mistake. while
they may satisfy international obliga-
tion. II no loss of life results, cannot
| JUSTIFY or excuse the practice, the
natural and necessary effect of which is
TO subject neutral nations and neutral
| persons TO new and immeasurable
| risks"
The opinion of Mr.. Bryan, while on
us lace indicating a rigid attitude has
peen taken to mean that the question
at issue should not be closed abruptly.

CONTINUED TO PRESS
! HIS VIEW OF CASE
| The talk among the officials to-day
is mat Mr.. Bryan continued TO press
| on the President in his three or four
| personal talks with him that view of
the case He became even more in
| Slstent when Herr Won Jagow sent his
! reply TO President Wilson on Nav IS
| some officials have been decidedly of
| the opinion that this note should have

| fect on the friendly character of the
: German response. and especially on the
| denhitc statements that Germany would
| not have attacked the vessels which
had been lost had she known they were
! American ships. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Bryan was willing to give full
| value and accord the due measure of
international courtesy and good faith
| TO these statements of GERMANY
Then came the preparation of the re-
| ply TO Herr Won Jagow. The faction Of
the Cabinet opposed TO Mr.. Bryan. and
! even others higher in authority. had It
! sent out to the world that the Presi-
| dent intended to stand fatty and un-
| compromisingly on the declarations Of
his first note. which were in all re-
f, spects an ultimatum to Germany, all
though not phrased in the language Of
an ultimatum. The only respect in
which these declarations differed from
an ultimatum was that no time limit
| was set for Germany's compliance.

part before Prof. Seligman Of Column
bia and Judge Cohen and that lawyer,
James A. Dill Of New Jersey. who is
in partnership with Attorney General
Griggs and who is big corporation
lawyer.
"You see have tried to get all the
advice could and have endeavored
to make it a satisfactory document.
Il need not say that want you to
make suggestions and criticisms with
the utmost freedom.
A letter dated Feb. 1, 1900, from the
executive chamber at Albany and ad-
dressed to Senator Plat, was read. In
part it follows:
First and least important if you
happen to have seen the New York
Evening Post recently you ought to be
amused, for it is moralizing with
lofty indignation over the cringing SER
witty have displayed in the matter of
insurance superintendent. fear it will
soon take the view that it cannot pos
sibly support you as long as you asso-
ciate with me.
Now as to serious matters I have,
of course, done a great deal Of think
ing about the Vice Presidency. Since
the talk I had with you followed by
the letter from Lodge and the visit
from Payne Of Wisconsin I have been
reserving the matter to talk over with
you, but in view of the publicity in
the Sun this morning I would like to
begin the conversation as it were by
just a line or two now.
1 need not speak of the confidence
have in the judgment of you and
Lodge, yet 1 can't help feeling more
and more that the vice presidency is
not an office in which could do any
thing, and not an Office in which a
man who is still vigorous and not past
middle life if he has much chance of
doing anything.
CAS- you know, I am of an active
nature, in spite of all the work and
all the worry and very largely be-
cause of your constant courtesy and
consideration, my dear senator l have
thoroughly enjoyed being governor. I
implied, made on the stump and feel
that the Republican party is stronger
before the State because of my in
cumbency. Certainly everything is
being managed now on a perfectly
straight basis and every Office is as
clean as possible.
Now l should like to be govern o-
for another term, especially if we are
able to take hold of the canals in Sc
rious shape. but as vice president i
don't see that there is anything that
l can do. / would simply be a presid-
ing Office and that l should find bore.
Il am by no means sure that l
ought to go on in public life at all pro-
viding some remunerative work pro-
Ivides itself. The only reason that I
should like to go on is that, as l have
not been money maker. l feel rather
in honor bound to leave my children
the equivalent in way Of substan-
tial sum of actual achievement in pol
itics or letters. Now as Governor. l can
achieve, but as vice President should
achieve nothing. The more 1 look at
it, the less feel as if the vice presi-
dency offered anything to me that
would warrant my taking it. OF
course l shall not say anything until
after hear from you and possibly I'M
til see you"
A recess was taken soon after that.

LITTLE HOPE GIVEN
FOR AMERICAN NEED

Washington, April 26.-State depart

in reports from Berlin that negotia-

on potash indicate a favorable con-
clusion. The negotiations are predicat-
ed on an exchange of American cotton
for potash and the British Order-in-
Council excludes cotton, except some
shipments made before it was pro-
mulgated. Ambassador Gerard proba-
bly, will try to-. arrange to exchange
some American cotton shipments al
ready made for detained potash ship
ments. That much, officials say, may
be accomplished.
