The Party Is in a Formative State and Will Develop Into Something Different From Democracy. Both big parties arc at sea and in a formative condition. Bryan has never represented true democracy. The so-called “new south” is a fallacy: there is no such thing. The development and growth of the south is a result of the sterling character and principles of the patriotic meu who built on the ruins of a devastat ing war a great south. I do not see any one on the horizon yet who can bring back the dem ocratic party to stand for real democracy. Abhuii-iii not given to living inter viewed and leading a retired life, Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, the only gen- Tai of either side now living who ought in the civil war and who em mdies the principles of the old dem wracy, expressed himself on the dem icracy of today and the relation Wil iam Jennings Bryan bears towards this rue democracy. He also “aid that the outh of today was built upon the ’oundation laid by the character of the ■eal southerner. General Buckner, accompanied by his lite. arrived in San Antonio last night ind are the guests of their son. Lieut. B. Buckuer Jr., Ninth infantry, at h’ort Sam Houston. They came from General Buckner’s country place in Kentucky to visit their son for about i month before he leaves with his regi nent for the Philippine Islands on a two years’ service. The general, although 87 years old ind retired from politics since 1890, vhen he was a candidate for the vice .residency of the United States on the {old democratic ticket is in good health md talked freely about his principles. He is a type of the true southerner ,vho resigned from the United States army after having fought, for her in the war against Mexico in 1845 to valiantly struggle in the cause of the ■onth. General Buckner, in the course nf the interview, said: Both Parties at Sea. ‘•Both parties are at sea. It seems to me that the people of the two parties are in a formative condition. Many democrats embrace what are known as republimn principles and many of the republicans embrace what are known as democrat i< principles. The conditions are now very similar to the time of President Monroe in the early twenties. ‘•The old republican party then be came the J.-flerson democrats and the fcdernls became the whigs. It seems to me that both partie.-, are in a eondi tmii to make new alignments. “Some of the republicans are for high prot.-ction aud sonic arc against it. The same condition exists among the democrats. A number of the southern democrats voted for high protection recent It whirl. i« against the original party principle.-. “I don't think that Bryan eve: did represent the pine -I. moeraey and don’t think ha will ever secure the nomina tion again of this party. There wore many of the leading democrats of the south who did not vote for him. “T don’t sec any one on the just now who can bring ilia democratic iparty back to repri ent what detnoc. racy means As I said before, the party is in a formative state and will de velr.p probably into somethiug differ- B. BUCKNER. —GENEBAL S. ent from democracy, although they may । still xall it that. “I know No New South.” “I know no new south. The south j developed and grown by the sterling | character aud worth that was here be ; fore the civil war and after it closed the blood of the south built up a great : country ou the ruins of a most de- I instating war.” General Buckner was governor of 1 Kentucky from 1887 to 1.891. He gradu ated from West Point in 1841 and served in the I’nited States army as an officer in the Mexican war from i 184<i to 1848. He was wounded before ! Churubusco and promoted to a eap taincy. When the civil war broke out | General Buckner gave his services to ; the southern cause and rose to the rank of lieutenant general.

PALM READERS TO ENLIGHTEN TAFT CAR CAUGHT BETWEEN GATES; WOMEN SCREAM Report That Fatal Accident Oc curred at Sunset Crossing Unfounded. Sandwiched in between two moving engines, with rhe safety gates let down, passengers on a street ear were caught in :i trap last night at 7:30 o'clock on the Commerce street crossing of the Southern Pacific and had a narrow es cape for their lives. Track No. 3 at the depot was blocked with another train when the passenger train on the Victoria branch, due at 7:30 o'clock, was pulling into the same lead at the depot. The engine from the other train which had blocked that track was in the act of backing north to the Com merce street, crossing. Through some misunderstanding the tower gatetnan raised the gates for traffic and the con ductor in charge of the ear, thinking that the way was the mo tormnn ahead. .Inst as the car got within the enclos ure the gateman lowered the gates in a hurry and eaught the street ear with a big load of passengers in between the two moving engines. Tn a flash the people on the car saw their danger and began unloading. The screams of the women passengers and the excitement which prevailed for a few moments and the shouts of warning given by men to the two engineers of the locomotives, caused a crowd of over a thousand people to gather on the seen.' when reports were circulated that a number of people had been killed.
