BRYAN DISSECTS
Nebraskan Makes Light of
• “Harmony” Meeting.
HAS ROUGH HOUSE WITH GROVER
-Ex-President Charged Up With
Multifarious Misdeeds—Wat*
terson’s Roast Outdone.
A special from Lincoln, Neb., says:
The absence of William J. Bryan from
the democratic harmony dinner at New
York Is pretty well explained by a
statement given out by Mr. Bryan
Monday evening, commenting upon the
dinner. At the outset Mr. Bryan says
there is no such thing as democratic
harmony where former President
Cleveland is 'concerned. ‘ He says:
“The banquet given on the ovenlng
of June 19 by the Tilden club of New
York city was advertised sb a ‘har
mony meeting,' but it turned out to be
vrhat might bavo been expected df
such a gathering, an ovatlod to the
chief guest, former democrat, drover
Cleveland. There can be no such thing
as harmony between men like him and
those who believe in democratic prin
ciples, and he Is frank enough to say
so. Ho spent no time looking forjmld-
dlo ground' upon which to gather to
gether discordant elements. He bold
ly called upon the members of the par-
ty to abandon their convictions and ac
cept the construction which he placed
upon democratic principles. He even
taunted tho party with being a sort of
prodigal son and invited It to give up
Its diet of busks and return to Its fa-
4b*r'a house.
-“He spoke of his 'retirement from
political activity,’ and said: ‘Perhaps
there are those who would define my
position as one of banishment Instead
of retirement. Against this I shall not
enter a protest. It la sufficient for me
In either case ihat I have followed on
-tho matters' of difference within our
party the teachings and counsel of the
great democrat In whose name party
peace and harmony are tonight in
voked. No confession of party sin
-should therefore be expected of me. I
have none to make, nor do I crave po
litical absolution.’
**He is not only defiant, but he In
sists that party success can only be
•ecured by an open and avowed return
to hla ideas. Harmony is to be secured
not by the suppression of differences,
bat by the elimination of those who
differ from him."
Mr. Bryan saya he will print in hit
paper Mr. Cleveland's speech ‘‘to show
that the reorganiser* do not want har
mony, but control, and that their con
trol means the abandonment of the
party's position and a return to the
policies and practice*' of Mr. Cleve
land’s second administration.”
' Some of the most striking sentences
In Mr. Bryan’s arraignment of Mr.
Cleveland nro the following:
“Ho (Cleveland )secured hla nomina
tion In 1892 by a secret bargain with
the financier*; he filled his cabinet
with corporation agents and placed
railroad attorneys on the United States
bench to look after the Interests of
their former clients.
“He turned tb9 treasury over to a
Wall street syndicate, and the finan
cial member of his family went from
Washington to become private attor
ney of tho man who forced (?) the
‘treasury department to sell him gov-
•eminent bonds at 105 and then resold
-them at 117.
'“His administration, Instead of be
ing a fountain of democracy, sending
forth pure and refreshing streams,
became a stagnant pool from whose
waters foul vapors arose—poisonous
to those who lingered near.
'‘Having debauched his party, he
-was offended by Ita effort to reform
^nd gave comfort to tho enemy.
“And now. still gloating over his po
litical crimes, be Invites the party to
return to him and apologise tor the
contempt which It has expressed for
him. Will It? Not until the principles
of Jefferson, are forgotten and the
works of Jnckeon cease to Inspire.”

SPfiWTOCTIFIKrPAOET
Says Site of Propoge/ktate Depot
' In Atlanta is Entirely Inade* * 1
, . quate as. Regards Area.
Prealdentdlpencer, of tho Southern
railway,’ interposes the following ob
jection as to a depot on the state’s prop
erty in Atlanta in his letter to Gover
nor Candler:
That the state owns, less than half
the needed area, gnd cannot purchase
the rest;that no guarantee can be giv
en that the depot will cost no more {nan
9500,000; that the roads are not pro
tected against the costs of damage
suits by property owners; that no
guarantee can be given that the depot
wilt be cobpleted In. three years; that
the plans do not and cannot provide
for a comfortable or attractive depot.
Should the state determine to build,
the Southern will assent on these con
ditions: That the state prove, by Oc
tober 1, that the depot .will not cost
over 9500,009; that the state, by Octo
ber 1, reach ait agreement -with the
city of Atlanta aa to all matters la
which tty city Is Interested; that the
Committee secure, by October 1, all
necessary propery not now owned by
the state; that a guarantee be glyen
of arrangements to* oontinue traffic
through the present station while , the
new depot is being built; that the depot
be competed within three years, and
the rent not begin until then; that the
contract contain all provisions neces
sary for the full protection of the'rail
roads as the state’s tenants.
Mr. Spencer names October 1 as the
time when the state shall submit Its
final answer to his letter, but he also
' ' ‘ Snmit Is
states that If that time limit is too
short or too long the officials of the
Southern would agree to change of
date.
After recapitulating, as above noted,
the objectionable features which the
present site presents to the Southern
road, Mr. Spencer proceeds to outline
the conditions which will have to be
met before the depot will be accept
able to him.
Governor Candler stated Friday
night that ho did not expect to call the
depot commission in session before
July 3, and naturally no action can be
taken before that time.
THIS IS THE ESII THEREOF
Another Fruitions Effort to “Harmo
nise” on Hcc proclty Bill.
A Washington special says: If
there were any question about the
Roosevelt-Spooner Cuban bill being
dead for thla session—and that means
dead forever—all doubt* were removed
by the failure of Friday afternoon's
republican caucus to take any definite
action. Without doing anything but
listen to speeches, the caucus adjourn
ed subject to the call of the chairman.
This in all probabllltjr means that
there will be no other meeting of the
caucus and nothing further will be
done toward bringing forward the bill
to advance which President Roosevelt
has written two messages, and tor
which he haa used’the whole Influence
of his administration.
Tho cabinet also discussed the ques
tion and the president announced hie
determination to negotiate a reciproc
ity treaty with Cuba. Steps toward
this end have already been taken. It
was the unanimous opinion of tho cab
inet that thla was the only thing left
and the president promptljr set the
wheels in motion toward that end.
Senator Alllion said there would be
no attempt to bring the Cuban blit in
the senate before adjournment.
On top of this Senator Spoooner said
congress would adjourn before the
Fourth of July. There is not the re
motest possibility* that such adjorn-
ment could be accomplished it the Cu
ban question were brought before the
senate In any shape.

SIGHT-SEERS EARLY ON GROUND
Rumors Regarding King’s Health
Crop Out on All Sides But
Are Promptly Denied.
A London special says:9 Th^<reap
pearance Sunday of a brilliant sun
shine after weeks of rain and murky
weather gave to the first day of coro-
nation week an air of unusual gayety
and gladdened hearts of thousands of
British subjects from all parts of the
empire,and.the .thousands of foreign
ers pouring Into London eager to wit
ness as much of the week’s events as
possible.
The announcement that King Ed
ward, Queen Alexandra and the court
would return to London from Wind
sor Monday at noon increased tho uni
versal anticipations for that day and
served to quiet, to some extent, 'the
flood of extraordinary rumors concern
ing the king’s physical condition, va
ried in some quarters by weird tales of
plots tp assassinate his majesty and
other fictions, all of which were
promptly denied by the officials most
intimately connected with the king.
King Edward's health was authorita
tively declared to be good at Windsor
castle Sunday and during the morning
his majesty attended divine service,
accompanied by other; members of the
royal family. Sunday evening-he en
joyed a drive through the royal gar
dens of Windsor castle In a closed car
riage. ‘
At the command of the king many
thousand persons were admitted to the
east terrace-of Windsor castle for the
Sunday band performances. The ter
race was crowded. The king and the
queen listened to the music from the
windows of their private apartments.
King Edward's appearance does not
Justify the sensational rumory of his
Illness..
Thoroughfares Crowded.
The congested condition of the
streets of London throughout Sunday
furnished an omen of the condition
of travel through these streets the
latter days of the week. The barriers
across the streets which Intersect
those through which the coronation
procession will pass, and which are
completed, are proving an impediment
to ordinary traffic.
Kensington gardens and the beauti
ful groves about the Crystal and Alex
andra palaces ace filled with colonial
and native troops, clad in scarlet,
white, khaki and blue uniforms.
The throngs in the street ty night
find much to engage the eye. The
fronts of Innumerable buildings are
hung with lighted decorations and the
venetiAn masts are covered with gar
lands and connected by strands of
roses. The streets are filled with mile
after mile of colored lights and the va
rious stations of the royal coronation
procession are marked with arches
representing Great Britain’s colonies.
American flags were in evidence at jl
great number of windows.'Some hotels
are flying both American and British
flags from their staffs In honor of the
American visitors domiciled within.
