ififtilliilttfiV r i if i 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.” BIO HOTEL COLLAPSES. Seeping Onests Miraculously Escspo With Only a Pew Braises.

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.

Coronation Week Opens With Fairest of Skies. 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.
