June 15, In which Mr. Bryan says: “I am sorry that Governor Hughes, of New York, vetoed the two-cent rate bill. He simply gives the benefit of the doubt to the railroads instead of to the people, and that, too where the roads were protected by an appeal to the courts, whereas the people have no appeal. “His veto shows how difficult regu lation Is when the roads have such an enormous influence in politics. But the traveling men ought not to be dis couraged. It takes time to secure reforms, but reforms come—the next governor of New York will not veto a two-cent bill.” OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla., June 19. —Democrats from the two territories met In this city today to ratify the nominations made at the Democratic primaries held June 8, and pass suit able resolutions.

Bryan addressed the dele gates. Mr. Bryan said: “You have the best constitution to day of any state In the union and a be’ter constitution than the consti tution of the United States. Let me suggest that you take as your cam paign keynote: ‘Let the people rule.' I prefer to risk the many rather than the few. You have a constitution that Statistician j you can control.” “Dear -Madam and Sister: I have not heard a word since I saw you The last information. I got was from Alaska. I think Fairfield was the name of the place. I see that awful conditions prevail among the law and order element. Yours very truly, “WILLIAM D. HAYWOOD.” The three letters written by Orchard were commonplace, and contained nothing bearing on the case or Orch ard’s testimony except reference to the arrangement which Orchard says he made with the federation officers for the care of his wife, while he was absent. The defense attacked the letter and Orchard’s story about them, when It got a chance to cross-examine the witness, but Orchard held to the story he told about them. The witness de nied that he had made an arrange ment for the delivery of the letters to Pinkerton agents; that the letters had only made their appearance since he left the stand last week, or tha't he had invented the story because his wife had Haywood's letter in her pos session. He swore positively that Hay wood had agreed to write the Alaska letter and that Pettibone and Moyer knew of the arrangement. Alleged Pettibone Letter. Beside the four San Francisco and Alaska letters, the State procured the admission of a certified copy of an un signed letter which Orchard got at Caldwell jail and which Orchard swears was in the handwriting of Pet tibone.

The defense attempted to mod ify this by getting the-witness to admit that he had not sold his interest in the Hercules, but had pledged it and could have taken It back any time up to his flight from North Idaho before the on coming troops, but Orchard adhered to the statement that he sold outright There was a long contest over an ef fort by the State to show that the con fesslon of Steve Adams had been vol untary. It maintained that Adams had once discussed the matter freely with Attorneys Hawley and Borah, but that was about as far as it got, the court sustaining a series of objections from the defense. At the opening of the morning ses sion, the defense asked Orchard i series of impeaching questions. They all dealt with conversations In which It was alleged Orchard recited his pri vate grudge against Frank Steunen berg, and vowed that he would kill him If he hanged for It. Orchard de nied every query, both specifically and generally. E. D. Boyce, once president of the Western Federation of Miners and now one of the owners of the rich Her cules mine, came after Orchard and was still on the stand when the court rose for the day. He was called to Identify the Miners Magazine as the official organ of the federation and to pave the way for use as evidence of a great number of articles from the magazine. CALVIN M.
