I Special Cabtt Det patch to Tux Sc.
mm Loudon, Oct. 3. There Is a widespread pub-
f lie Impression thnt the tension In the relation
ft between the European powers, or rather betw ten
B Great Ilrltaln and the united Continental pow-
er. has ranch relaxed within a fowdaya. When
B It comes to assigning reasons tor this boltcf It Is
m. ipeodlly found that none exists, none at least
Bt which Is tangible.
U Tho onlr erents bearing on the situation this
IE week, of which tho publlo has knowledco.
I are suoh trifles as tho presence of Lord Sails-
burr at Balmoral during three days of the
En Ctar's visit, a very lone interview between the
IK Prime Minister and tho French Ambassador
Bv yesterday, a special meeting of the National Do-
V fence section of the llrltlsh Cabinet to-day, and
ft the, mere friendly tone of two or three Russian
'( newspapers toward England. There Is nothing
V new at Constantinople. In fact, tho outlook
there seems worso rather than better.
f This last Is really the best sign of all.
I The more evident It becomes that no security
. is possible under the present Turkish regime,
the greater Is the probability that the powers'
IwIU agree upon some effective remedy which
hall not seriously alter tho status quo. Not
even Russia Is w tiling to Insist upon her policy
of non-lnterferenco to the point of the completo
extermination of tho Armenian rce if a reme
dial expedient can be devised which will not
destroy Turkish autonomy or alter the present
boundary lines.
I am far from denying therefore that any
ground exists for the popular belief In the im
provement of the situation. That Improvement,
If It means anything, means the adoption of
drastic measures toward the Snltan. It means
that while the danger of a collision between
the great powers has been reduced to a mini
mum, yet we shall soon see stirring events in
Constantinople.
' The diplomatic clrole In London does not take
inch an optimistic view of the situation as tho
outside publlo and the newspapers, but It Is
certainly more hopeful. Its members are con
fident that negotiations are in progress which
have better prospects of a suecessfnl issne than
has been the case since the present crisis arose,
eighteen months ago. They entertain the Im
bresslon, many of them, that, by the consent of
Russia and England, Franco will be dele
gated to assume the task of establishing a
bettsr order of things on the Bosporus.
The reason of this selection would bo that Rus
sia, England, and Austria each has too great a
selfish Intorest In tho matter, while the discre
tion of tho German Emperor is not to be relied
Spoil. Tho plan has another advantage also,
-.he honor to be derived from such an exploit
would be so gratifying to her pride that France,
Srobably, would bo willing to let the Egyptian
, .tueition rest for soma time, which wpuld.be
tqually satisfactory to England and Rnsala.i;'ln
11 ! fact, a workable schems'for Ujmpora'ry French
v intervention in Constantinople wonld admira-
' bly suit Russia's greater plans, and would in no
': way enhance British interests.
This whole idea is, however, mere surmise, al-
though It Is being earnestly, discussed at the
', present moment by the diplomatic corps here.
The most doubtf ol point seems to bo British as
i cent to such a plan. It is suggested, however,
if that Lord Salisbury would not dare to decline
for he would be unable to justify a refusal In
L face-of tho national clamor for an agreement
f and action.
There can be little doubt that efforts are being
I made by Russia and France to torn tbx great
iv Armenian agitation in England to diplomatic
M advantage. Tho conditions on which those two
E, powers will permit tho Sultan to be disciplined
K all Imply concessions from Lord Salisbury, and
R" """ the probabilities aro that he would be compelled
B' to acctpt some of these conditions.
f , It may, perhaps, be fair to assume that the
t general situation, on the whole, has Improved,
E butnot for Great Britain. Russia and her allies
1 still hold complete control of the game.
h There was a striking scene at tne little High-
E- land station of Ballater to-ulgbt when at the
I" unearthly hour of 11 o'clock the imnerial Rus
sian couple started south en route for France at
the termination of their visit to the Queen at
Balmoral. The visit has been, as It was In
tended, a private family affair, but many as
sume that it resulted In negotiations and de
cisions of the highest international importance.
The Czar is reported to have said gratefully
that the Scottish air bad braced himself and
his wife np for the coming trials and'fatlgues in
France. Certainly both needed such a tonic.
The Empress is really physically unfit to under-
, take such a Journey with its attendant pomp
and excitements, but when she realized the ev II
construction whioh would be put upon her ab
sence, no matter from what cause, she insisted
upon accompanying her husband.
Tho young counle left Balmoral Castle as
they arrived, escorted by torchbearers and
cavalry, and their railway journey will be sub
jected to the same rigid precautions as upon
their arrival. Practically every hundred yards
V of the whole long route is guarded, for all the
railway companies over whose lines the Imperial
J! train travels have turntd on duty their whole
i Indoor and outdoor staffs. The British and
f Russian detectives havo two cars for their
accommodation, one at the front of the
. ' train and the other In the rear, and,
by almost unprecedented favor, two newspaper
I reporters aro allowed to travel with the detec
tives. The most prominent figure among tho
' latter Is Chief Inspector Melville, the famous
chief of the political branch of Scotland Yard.

fi A few weeks ago. as related hero at tho time,
!Aplk Oundjiun Kffcndl, thu millionaire Ar
tneninu contractor In Constantinople, was ar
rested on the charge of bribing Statu function
aries and embezzling Government funds.
1 Within a week he managed to cecuro hlo re
lease, and It has since been learned that the
S operation of unlocking the prison doors cost
It him $100,000. Hod ho been wise, Aplk would
havo realized as much on his property ns pos-
, slblo without attracting attention, and took
the first steamer for Marseilles. Ho chose to
i dally, with the result that he Is onto more In
' prlbon with less chance of getting out. for he is
1 charged with high treason, iinu If this Is proved,
i at there Is little difficulty In doing, fnrwllnrsses
I are uuusually cheap In ritamboul, tho traitor's
property can bo confiscated. 1iU moment Is a
h if mighty bad one for wealthy subjectspf the Sul-
A tau, particularly Armenians.
Grumbkow I'asha, a German who has done
, well I" tho Sultan's service, has benii tour-
' Ingln Europe on the desperate mission of rals-
i lug a loan for his imperial master, no matter
I what iuterest might bo demanded, for the Sul.
J tan's bodyguard hod U en In a state of Incipient
i mutiny ow in to arrears of pay, and if their
I fidelity failed his much-worried Majesty knew
'. that he would be lost. Grumbkow u as treated
almost with contumely In every European cap.
Itai. but In Berlin, It Is understood, he managed
to obtulu 8300.000 at 12 per cent, or more, ao-
Isjiifli """ttot"'BT"'1nft' tbgttoryj, W4lb.tht
money the troops around the Vlldlz Kiosk wero
paid something on account and tho rest of tho
cash was exponded In new rifles and full
supplies of ammunition for them; and then tho
Bultan felt that ho needed pocket money.
It was at that critical juncture that a police
report reached the paluco that on one of tho
Armenian consplrntors recontly arrostcd had
been fonnd a document giving a list of subscrip
tions to the revolutionary treasury, nnd thai
the list contained tho name of Aplk Oundjlan
Effendl with a Very big sum placod opposite.
Within an hour Aplk was once more under lock
and key. llo protested that he gave money to
tho revolutionists under threats of assassina
tion, and the statement is probably truo
enough, for Aplk was never known to
glvo anything previously, and thero Is pretty
ample proof that the conspirators who seized
the Ottoman Bank extorted largo sums from
rich Armenians, practically at tho revolver's
mouth, Banker Karaglveslan among them. But
this Is not likely to sa o Aplk. A moderate esti
mate of his fortune puts It at 810,000,000, and
the Sultan would be flying In tbo face of I'rovl
denco to let such a chance go of replenishing
his colftrs. Whatever may bo Abdul Hamld's
weakness In the matter of bloodletting his
piety is undoubted, and he would not bo likely
to offend Allah by neglecting thoroughly to
bleed tills particular Christian.
Millionaire Aplk's factories, shops and villas
and his fine palace overlooking the Bosporus
aro now In the hands of the Sultan's confiden
tial trcaron smellers. They have planted and
tubsequently discovered compromising docu
ments galore, so that virtually all that remains
to be done Is to find Aplk Oundjlan guilty. In
what passes in Turkey for due process of law,
and then confiscate his property. If he manages
to keep his head on his shoulders ho will bo an
exceptionally fortunate Armenian.
The remarkable Increaeo In the numbers of
golf clubs and plnyers resulted, at the beginning
of this year. In an agitation having for Its object
tho establishment of some central authority for
the settlement of disputes and Interpretations
of rules, nud, generally, for the regulation of
this mbst ancient game. All other games havo
such central authorities, but heretofore golf has
been regulated In a haphazard sort of fashion,
althongh, as a rule, golfers have mostly gtven
the chief voice In disputed matters to tho Royal
and Ahclont Club, whoso headquarters ate
at St. Andrews. The agitation soon took a
definite shape, and, being conducted by men
dovoted to the game, early success promises to
attend it. Tho Royal and Ancient Club has ap
pointed a commlttco to draw up a working
scheme, which will bo submitted to a general
meeting of the club next spring. The present
Idea Is to establish a golf executive of fourteen
members, to which tho Roval and Ancient, as
tho parent club, shall have the rlcht to nomi
nate seven members, the rest consisting of dele
gates from the leading British and Irish clubs.
But the promoters of the scheme look forward
to obtaining tho cooperation of all clubs In the
British colonies and the United States.
It Is peculiarly disconcerting to Englishmen
In political as well ns sporting circles that
American wrath against this country should bo
aroused again just now when, goodness knows.
Great Britain has all tho trouble un hand she
can possibly attend to. There has been no
representative declaration of the English atti
tude over the Niagara yacht dispute. There Is
uo doubt that many Englishmen are heartily
ashamed and disgusted over tho action of the
iracht" Committee, but there will be no apoWy.
-Englishmen' -collectively never apologize, whaU
ever thky may do Individually.
Slnco Mr. Howard Gould's correspondence
was published In the middle of the week the
press have been almost silent on tho subject.
The Globe to-day. commenting on the fact that
the American newspapers introduce the names
of the I'rlnce of Wales and the Royal Yacht
Squadron, says: "It Is for this that we are
tempted to remind our friends that gentleman
Is an English word and that we understand Its
meaning ns woll as they do. But we don't say
all we think."
This is the only comment I have seen in a
dally newspaper. The Globe also makes the
asinine assumption that American anger is as
sumed for local political purpo.es. This silly
pretension, which Is always advanced In this
country when any antl-Engllsh comment Is
made in the United States, is another evidence
that Englishmen both can not and will not un
derstand American sentiment.
I am impelled to urge again the suggestion
that absolute non-Intercourse In all sports Is
the only proper policy for Americans to adopt
tnnard England for the present
Englishmen have just realized bow embarrass
ing is their political isolation In Europe. They
no longer describe it an splendid. A little of tho
same treatment with regard to sport Is the
only thing they will eventually understand and
take to heart.
Paris next week will be simply the greatest
sight this world has ever seen. The town Is
already transformed, and all Its I',000,000 in
habitants are literally mad with ffito making.
The accounts of the preparations for the Czar's
reception are fabulous and grotesque. Tbey tell
of the expected assembly of ten millions of
people In the streets on Tuesday. They
gravely describe tho members of the French
Academy assembling to hold a rehearsal of a
special sitting which the Emperor will attend.
Francois Coppee read somo complimentary
verses which he will present to the Czar. Count
d'Haussonvllle read a work entitled "The
Visit of Peter tho Great to Paris," nnd M. Snlly
Prudhoiumeun address in verse, which will be
features of tho proceedings in the Emperor's
presence.
Another kind of a rehearsal took place at the
samn time in the stableyard of tho tflrsCe.
where a band assembled to play the loudest
Russian airs and a crowd of employees shouted
"Vive l'Empereur" In tho ears of thu horses
which aro to draw the Imperial carriage. It Is
almost a generation since that cry has been
beard In Paris, and the republican animals
which are to draw tho Czar were exceedingly
resttvo at first when It was dinned In their ears.
President Fnure, according to all accounts, is
no less mad than his fellow citizens. The Paris
correspondent of Tnr SUM writes that his pet
project to design a special Presidential dress or
uniform came nearer realization than the publlo
has been informed. Ho appeared before his
astonished Ministers at a recent Cabinet meet
ing in a man elious array of his own conception.
It consisted of a cocked hat trimmed
with white ostrich feather?, a full cm
broldered Ambassador's frock coat of tiltu tit
l'tanee, white silk bouffant knickerbockers,
callod culalte tic Ic caur, white silk stockings,
and gold-buckled patent leather shoes. Some
members of tho Council had the greatest dlfD
culty In keeping countonance. Prime Minister
Mellne, who Is usually an Iceberg, looked
pleased and said: "I knew you were a id
hwnttii. but never had I better proof of It."
The President was gratified, but when he Inti
mated his lutentlon to wear the costnme In the
presence of the Czar the Prime Minister ob
served i
" Yes, It Is a magnificent dress, but what when
you will no longer he In power? Youcaunot,
like a retlriM Admiral or General, don your
dress out of office, and It will become ridicu
lous." Tho Idea was therefore regretfully abandoned
by the chief of State.
The grave Illness of Mr, Du Maurler and the
death of William Morris are causes of genuine
publlo grief, Tho novelist's condition to-day
shows tome slight Improvement, but it Is still
most serious. During the early portion of bis
Illness he corrected all except the last portion
of the proofs of his current work, "The Mar
tlan," which now await final revision.

DAxnunr, Conn., Oot. 3. An elopenunt which
took place from a village near llarrlsburg. Pa.,
flvo months ago resulted In a tragedy in this
city last night. Afterachoso which extended
from Pennsylvania to Maine and back to Con
necticut. Thomas Gurno found his wlfo here,
where sho was living as tho wife of Frank Gil
lott, who had been Gurno's closest friend in
their former home. Gurno was a farmer In a
small way, and ho took Olllolt to board with
him. Gurno went to work nuo morning lait
spring, and when 8 returned his wlfo
ana his friend were gone. Gurno gave
up his homo and started out to search
for the wlfo and friend, lie went to
Bangor, Mo., where his wife had somo relatives,
lie thought that they might have gono there.
Ho was disappointed, and he turned back
toward Pennsylvania, working his way from
place to place and seoklng any trace of the
eloping pair. He reached Danbury n short tlmo
ago and found employment on the public works.
He worked on a sewer as a mason. Unknown
to him Glliott was working on the came job, but
on another prt of tho sewer. Ourr.o went
to tho place where Glllolt was working and
recognized him. He left hla worx nnd followed
his falthlojs friend home. Ho watched the place
and saw his wlfo about the houe.
When he had accumulated rufllclcnt ev Idcnco
Gurno had them arrested. His wife entreated
him to withdraw tho charge and be relented.
He remained here with her. and Glliott. vrbo
was also forgiven, also stayed In town. Gurno
suspected that his wlfo was still untrue to him
and he watched her. Lnst night hu went to
Glllott's house and secreted himself beneath the
porch. He vvalud thero an hour. Mrs. Gurno
nnd Glliott entered the yard and started to go
Into Glllott's apartments. Gurno sprang In
front of them and barred the way. Then. v. Ilh
out a word, he pulled a revolver from benenth
his coat and fired at the woman's bend. His
aim was bad, and as sbe tied Into tho darkness
ho turned upon her companion,
Glliott nan nt the door, but before ho could
cloto It Gurno sprang after him, Tlicr met In a
room on tho first floor of tho tionse. and Gurno
closed the door and stood with his back against
it nnd the revolver levelled at Glliott. The shots
attracted tho attention of the nelgnbnrs. and
they saw Glliott ns he sprang toward the weap
on. Th men grappled as the revolver was dis
charged, anil In the scuttle tho lamp In the room
was overturned and extinguished. No sound
came from the house, and the people githered
ontslde believed that tho men had killed each
other.
The police, who entered the house with tho
expectation of finding two dead men. discovered
the men locked in an embrace upon the floor.
Ourno still clutched the revolver, but Glliott
held his hand. Glliott held a dirk knife, but
Gurno held his wrist. Both were nearly ex
hausted and covered ith blood. Neither was
seriously wounded. The policemen dragged
them apart and disarmed them. Even then
Gurno sprang at Glliott and would havo throt
tled him if thopol'cehadnntlnlerfcrrid. Gurno
larhnrged with attempting to murder his wife
and Glliott, He was arraigned in court this
morning, and his wife smiled as the Judge held
him for trial. Glliott was discharged from cus
tody and left tho court room with Mrs, Gurno.

Ivosdok, Oct. 3. SJncrteCxar' accession to
the throne" there havo bemltnany reports of the
change In hla disposition. ITa has become grave
and taciturn, as though he felt the burden of
his tesponsbilittes. Reports from Balmoral,
where he and the Czarina are now visiting tho
Queen, confirm these statements. His manner
Is extremely quiet and retiring, and be appears
to prefer tho company of tho women of the
royal household to that of tho Prlnco of Wales
and tbe other notabilities nt Balmoral In his
honor.
Since his arrival his Majesty has had but one
private Interview with thoQaeen. This lasted
for half an hour. In some quarters attempts
have been mado to attach political significance
to the interview, but It Is genarnlly believed
that nothing but pergonal and family matters
were disoussed. It Is not at all likely that anr
Information on tho bubjeel will bo vouchsafed
to the public.
The Czar does not appear to take the slightest
Interest In the "deer stalking" that has been
arranged for him. There Is good reason for
this, aside from tho fact tlmt he Is a poor
shot. Real sportsmen despise the kind of sport
which tho Prince of Wales provides for tho
guests at Balmoral. Tho gamekeepers start
out early In tho morning and make large
circuits of tbo forest, driving tho deer In
the direction of an open space, which Is
like a lawn. The royal huntsmen wait on
one side of this space, and when the deer ap-
? car they get easy shots without any of the
atlgue and also without any of the excitement
that only those who have actually stalked deer
have experienced, 'lho Czar Is very patient
and displays no signs of anger when ho repeat
edly mines the game. In fact, he partnkes of
the sport In n perfunctory manner, and It can
readily be seen that his presence I duo moro to
k desire to please others than to any enjoyment
he derives from the shooting.
The Czarina is described as a serious, strong
minded woman, who. In many respects resem
bles the Empress Frederick, mother of Emperor
William and dnughter of Queen Victoria.
The Czar's new yacht, the Ktandart. arrived
at Portsmouth yesterday morning, vvhitreshu
excited much ndmlralinn. Mie Is a magnificent
veenelof 5.UD0 tonsand earrles a crew of over
U00 inert. She Is about y.000 tons larger than tbe
other Russian Imperlsl yacht, the Polar Star.
On the upper deck Is a handsome saloon, which
has accommodations for ISA guests nt dinner.
Thavesel is Insured In London for 4(10.000.
PoiiTHMnt'Tll. Oct. a. Tho British Channel
fleet has been put in readiness to escort tbe Czar
and Czarina with their suites on their way to
Cherbourg. Thu Russian Imperial yachts Polar
Star and Utandart will each be attended by three
battle ships, which will he aligned upon the
quarters of til Russian vessels. Cruisers will
be stationed at tho bows of the Imperial yachts
and torpedo destroyers astern. When the Rus
sians learn English waters on Monday morning
the British siuadron will fire asnlute, whlcli
will he repeated when they are mei by the
French fleet off Cherbourg on .Monday after
noon. The Duke of Connnught will Mil the Czar
nnd Czarina adlou at Portsmouth on behalf of

nouncement has occasioned much comment.

upon doiuestlo politics. Neither Dr. von Bon

Aldtrmnn Seeker's Daughter Thought He
Wna Her Father.
Alderman Gcorco W. Decker of Jersey City
lives In n three-story frame building at 18 Clark
avenue, a neighborhood not much frequented.
The family consists of the Alderman, his wlfo,
his daughter Lillian, I) years old, and a son
about 7 years old. The family sleep In tho
rooms on the second floor, the Alderman nnd
his wife occupying the front room, the boy a
ball bedroom, and Lillian tho room In the rear.
A burglar got Into tho honso through n rear
window on the ground floor nbout 3 o'clock
yesterday morning and made his nay upstairs.
He wont into Mr, Decker's room first and got
(30 nnd a gold watch, which ho found in tho
Aldorman's trousers pockets. In his search for
more plunder the burglar went Into tho rear
room whero Lillian was sleeping. He mado a
light noise, hut It was sufficient to awaken
Lillian, who Is a very light sleeper.
"Is that j ou. papa?" she asked.
The burglar crouched down on the floor and
mado no answer until the child repeated tho
question. Then hu crept over lo thu bedside,
and In a whisper said:
"Yes, my child. It's papa. Now go to sleep,
like a good Utile girl."
As he said this the burglar lay down on the
lilo of tho bed nnd pulled tho covers over Lil
lian and himself.
"Oh, you frightened me awfully, papa." said
Lillian, nutting her arms around tho man's
neck nnd kissing him. Her hand came In con
tact with the man's hair, which was rrlsp and
curly. She realized at once that tho man was
not her lather, and screamed.
Tho burglar jumped out of bed nnd fled down
stairs, making his escape by the window through
which ho had entered tho house. Alderman
Decker rnn down stairs, hut could see nothing
ofthe burglar. He thought that Lillian micht
havo had a nightmare until he discovered that
bis money and watch were gone. Mr. Decker
thinks that tho crisp, curly hair which Lillian
felt Indicates that tbo barglarwas a negro.

Hold-up Attempt In Ncn Mexico.
Ai,nuciUEitcUE. N. M., Oct, 3. An attempt to
rob tho east-bound passenger train No. on the
Atlantic and Paclllo Railroad was mndeeurly
last ovcnlng by n gangof outlaws nt Rio Puerco,
a water tank station thirty miles from this city.
The train had conic to a stop and Engineer Ross
had stepped down from tho caboose to adjust
an engine pin Hint was out ofgenr whonthreo
masked men appeared with draw n revolvers.
They coiniellod Ross to nncouplo tho engine
and express car from tho train. Then tbey
made for the express messenger and commnnded
him to open the door of his car.
Deputy United States Marshal I.oomls, who
happened to bo on the car, heard tho commo
tion, and rushing forward from the rear end of
tbo train, drew his revolver nnd fired sereral
ebots at the robbers. The flro was returned,
and for several minutes tho fusillade of bullets
was hot. One of the outlaws staggered toward
the bridge about 100 yards, and then dropped
dead with a hullet through his brain. The other
two robbers became frightened and ran away.
Tho train men hail many narrow escapes, ono
brakeman having a Isntern shot from his hands.
The passengers were terrorized during tho
fight, many of them seeking safety under tho
feats. The dead outlaw was recnenlzed ns Colo
Young, a noted desperado and leader of the
gang. The men are believed to be members of
tho band of roberswho have been operating In
the southern part of New Mexico for some time.
The train left tho scene of the attempted hold

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 3. When Mr. Bryan left
Lincoln for his socond Incursion Into tho
enemy's country be left Mrs. Bryan at home,
but It was agreed that sho should Join her bus
band about Oct. 1. Had she followed her In
clination, the wlfo of tho candldato would have
left the city with him, and Mr. Bryan was eager
to avail himself of her assistance and advice
The only thing that Interfered with their plans
was theciltlclsm of tho press nud tho oppo
sition of tho leaders of tho Popocrollo party.
Mrs. Brian enmu home from tho trip to Maine
thoroughly disgusted with newspapers.
"The newspapers aro horrid." she told n friend.
"They lied nbout us constantly." But this was
only part of her grievance Her efforts to in
troduce n feminine element Into political com
mittee meetings nnd receptions met with such
unpleasant opposition from certain prominent
Popocrals, who in tho early days of the cam
paign sought to exert some lnfiuence on tho Boy
Orator, that at times she was in a state of ex
citement. For two or threo weeks Mrs. Bryan has been
giving her lntlmato friends an account of the
slights sho endured. 1 hu friends wero cau
tioned against repenting her remarks, but much
that she has said has found Its way outside of
the friendly circle and many people havo been
interested In the recltnl of tho Incidents of tho
trip. One thing that particularly annoyed Mrs.
Bryan was tho so-called character sketch of
what purported to be pictures of her gowns,
boots, &c, which appeared in a Now York
caper.
Mrs. Brvnn denied tlmt her boots or dresses
had ever been photogiaphed orsxetched. So
much had been said about Mrs. Bryan's part In
tho campaign that It was decided sho should
remain homo for a few weeks, or until the publlo
bad lost sight of her. The separation from her
husband has been Irksome, and sho has eagerly
waited the time when she could again be with
Mr. Bryan.
Menntlmo she has had charge of Mr. Bryan's
mall, which Is still large, being assisted by Pri
vate Secretary J. W. Outright. The stones
about Mr. Bryan's health havo alarmed Mrs.
Bryan, and while sho hae received word from
her husband that he Is in good condition, sbe is
still considerably worried. It was known hero,
at tho time of tho candidate's departuro that he'
was suffering from tho effect of the high ten
sion of his steeplechase cnmpalgn. and his
friends are concerned lest he shall break down
belnro the campaign Is over. They are not
pleased at his statement that he will not return
to Nebraska until the day before election, and
the growing feeling among the I'npncrnts that
the btate is In a fair way to go for McKlnley has
made them anxious to havo Mr. Bryan come
home and give some attention to his own State.
Mrs. Bryan was expecting to be with her hus
band several days ago, but she has been unex
pectedly detalued. One thing that has demanded
her attention was an experlenrr-of herjoungest
daughter, Grace, aged six. Grace Bryan Is at
tending the public schools. Politics has. entered
the schools, even to tl e primary department,
and yesterday a boy of about Grace's age came
no to the daughter of the boy candidate for
President, and said:,
"lamforMoKlnley yon' ri Bryan." v, -
Then he slapped her face. Excitement ensuea.
Mrs. Btyan visited the school and made a vigor
ous protest, and the principal made an address
to the pupils in which she said there must be no
politics In the school hereafter. So the primary
echol-its will no longer discuss 10 to 1, and
Grace Bryan's face w ill not bo slapped again.
Mrs. Hryon expects to leavo In a few days.
The Associated Pros telegrams from lopeka
5 estcrday morning contained this paragraph
concerning the campaigning Union Gonernls:
"The memhersof the party unite In saying
that the most pleasing Incident so far of their
Journey was a delic te bit of courtesy show n by
Sirs. Ilrvan. wlfeof the Democratic candidate
for President, who. while the procession In
honor of the v (siting Generals was mov lug past
her house In Lincoln, dlsplnved over her door a
large portrait of William McKlnley, tastefully
draped In tho national colors. It was a touch
of womanly grace, beautiful as It was unex
pected, and Gen. Alcer toys ho will cherish It
as a sweet recolhctlnn plucked from an ncrl
nonlnus campaign until the end of his days."
Gen. Alger anil his companions will tear this
"sweet recollection" from their memories. It is
feared, when thev learn that the ulctuio was
put on tho linnve by some .'McKlnley hoodlums
the night beforo the parade, and was rather
violently removed as soon as Itwaseecn ther
next morning. They will bo pained somo more

Black Asphalt Tor Truck nnd Whit A.
phult for Hleycle.
Geo. C. II. T. Collls has a plan which he hopes
will solve the question of trnflln over the West
ern Boulevard. He suggests that the roadways
on cither side of tho car tracks, each about
twenty-six feet In width, shall be divided each
Into two strips of asphalt of equal width, and
that the strip nearest the gutters shall be laid
In black asphalt far trucks, the other half in
white asphalt for light vehicles nudblcjclcs.
An alternative plan Is to leavo the asphalt as It
now Is. hut to divide tbe roadway by laying a
strip of white asphalt about a foot wide over
the entire length of the boulevard. This plan of
course hinges mon Alderman Olcott's nblllti to
get the Hoard of Aldermen to pass his proposed
ordinanco compelling the trucks and heavy
laden vehicles to keep to the gutter side of the
thoroughfare when north or south bound and to
pursue their courses In single file. The Inner
sldeof the roadways AldsnuanOlcott wants for
the exclusive use of bicyclists and light pleasure
vehli les.
The strip of parkway that divides the broad
avenue Mr. Collls would line on either slito with
a row of trees and put between them nil asphalt
walk for pedestrians. Rows of trees with a
hedging of green grass he would set next to thu
gutters on tho extreme edges of tho roadway.
