"*»'• * lfe" Committes of Prominent "I want to say to you that all over the world there Is a perceptible growth of Democratic Ideas. When I speak of democracy I speak, of course, In that broader sense In which democracy means the rule of the people. I think possibly there lias been less progress In this country In the direction of democracy than In some of the countries of the old world. That may be explained by saying that we have less distance to travel than they have in Europe and that we have to some extent felt a counteracting influence In tile last twenty-five years that, to my mind, can be traced to the dominating Influence in politics of great corporations Interested In favorite legislation and in special privileges." "Hippie, of course," said an official prominent In the Inquiry, "was the principal partner of Segal In the conspiracy. The evidence connecting him with the crime is direct and of tha most positive character. Men Has Been Named.

A pink picture hat completes the costume and she will carry an arm bouquet of white roses. White point d'esprit over white taffeta is the body material of the bridesmaids' gowns. They wear white plume picture hats and carry arm bouquets of pink roses. The flower girls' dresses are of pink silk "batiste, with floral wreaths. Kach will carry a basket of roses. Mrs. Johnston, mother of the bride, will wear pearl gray over taffeta. The color scheme throughout Is pink and white. l*rcpaf|Uioiis for the Campaign Arc "North appears to have been merely the complaisant executor of the Hlpple-Segal plans. The evidence Ihld before me and which my Investigation has developed shows that he knew of and permitted the crimes of Hippie to continue without informing the directors or doing any of the things he should have done to protect the bank. Colllngwood was the assistant treasurer and with North knew what was going on. I contend that tha guilty knowledge of these men that the bank was being looted Is sufficient to fasten them together on conspiracy."Moving Along Nicely—Robert Young Takes a Part In Plan- Vesoel a Virtual Wreck, ning—Arrangements for the Opening Meet- As a result of striking Pen body rock in Itosaiio straits the Host011 Is a virtual wreck.

Mr. Bryan then amid much npplause advocated the election of United States senators by the people and added: "Have you found that North and Colllngwood profited financially or In any other way?"

It Is doubted that Guerra will lay down his arms. "I think It Is time to speak plainly in regard to the United States senate, and in my humble Judgment the reason why reform has been delayed for a decade and more Is because predatory Wealth has put its operating tools in the senate, and until this can be remedied and the senute brought Into harmony with the voters of this country there is not much prospect of reform." "X have made no effort to ascertain that. It Is not essential in the eye of the law that they should have profited financially, although the case against them might be stronger If it should be shown they had been enriched/' The committee will be called to meet shortly at the Republican State committee headquarters in Philadelphia, and is expected to give valuable assistance to the members of the Republican State and county committees in the work of the Republican campaign in the State .

Havana, Sept. 5.—In spite of nil olflclnl denials and the efforts of tlit» government to belittle the Insurrection the belief Is general that the country is on the verge of a bloody Internal struggle, which unless It Is prevented by the efforts of those who are now trylug to bring about peace will sap the vitality of the republic. The temper of the insurrectionists Is such that nothing short of the deposing of the l'nlmu administration will satisfy them. Cuba Loses Foreign Capital.

I have known judges to be elected by railroads, and I have reached the conclusion thut this corruption cannot be eliminated until these natural monopolies become the property of the government.

Finally the rising tide, which throws a strong eddy from the gulf of Georgia into the strait, forced the Jones to leave the Boston to her fate and proceed to Belllngham without her. for lla-fli Act In his evening address Mr. Bryan explained why he asked Roger Sullivan to resign from the national committee as member from Illinois. "1 explained to him," said Mr. Bryan, "that his corporate connections made It impossible for him to help the party so long as he was in an otllctal position, but stated thut If that was the only objection the matter might be dealt with at the state convention two years hence. I pointed out to him that as he held his seat by fraud there could be no harmony in the Democratic party in the state until he, by resigning, shaved his respect for the wishes of the majority at the last state convention." Several others who have been invited to serve on the committee will probably be heard from within a few days. Peter F. Yoos, a Scranton tinsmith, 40 years of age, committed suicide this morning by shooting himself in the brain. The tragedy occurred in the toilet room of the New Wyoming cafe, corner of Wyoming avenue and Center street, Scranton. Grief over the death of his brother, who was accidentally drowned in Harvey's Lake last week, is given as the cause for the crime. Preparing Troop« For Service. It is learned from an authentic source that a big uprising has been planned to take place soon In Santiago prov- Xt was announced that United State® Bank Examiner Moxey, who pat President Lear, of the Doylestown bank, in jail, has been sent here by the government to work with Receiver Earle In the trust company wreck. The participation of Robert K, tA«* lifting out of troops to take the lieltf against the insurgents, is being rushed day and night. General Itodrigucz, commander of the rural guard, said: "We have worked hard and have accomplished already more than we expected. • We have millions of cartridges, and we have all the guns we can use. There will no longer be a shortage of horses, as we have 1,CD00 here and 2,000 coming from the United States." K. Young at the meeting of the Republican State candidates, when the campaign committee was agreed upon, is taken as Indicating that Mr. Young has concluded to accept the Republican nomination for auditor general. Mr. Young wanted a change in the chairmanship of the Republican State committee, but sentiment of the rank and file of the party seems to have decided that matter. Ince The Boston reached Bellingham under her own steam after a rising tide released her. Roosevelt Will Run, Says Johnson, Within two days Treasurer North will be arrested, This has been definitely decided on. Cleveland, O., Sept. B.—Mayor Tom L. Johnson declared that Bryan's advocacy of government ownership of rnllroads would force Mr. Roosevelt to run for president again. He said that capltnl would compel the president to nuike the fight for another term. The barkeeper In the cafe heard the report of the pistol shot and rushed into the toilet room, where he found Yoos breathing his last. Blood was flowing from a hole In his left temple. In a pool of blood on the floor lay the weapon with which the man ended his life, a new revolver of 38 calibre. Only one cartridge had been exploded. Yoos' friends and relatives were dumbfounded when they heard that he had ended his life. About two weeks ago the deceased purchased his partner's Interest in the tinning business. Business had been good at the shop, and it was known for a certainty that financial troubles had not led to thd crime. Although Mr. Yoos seemed to be in good spirits, It Is known that for the past two weeks he had brooded much over the loss of his brother, Theodore, who was drowned in Harvey's Lake last week. Coroner Stein viewed the remains and decided that no inquest was necessary in the case. As a result of the wreck the bank report showed that $900,000 In deposits have been withdrawn from the I'hiladelphia banks within a week. There has been a steady run on all the trust companies. Such narratives as have reached the shore indicate that the 300 bluejackets who saved the Boston and incidentally savod themselves after the vessel floated have gone through an experience that they will never forget. Interest Is attached to the coming tour of Edwin S. Stuart, the Republican candidate for governor, and his colleagues on the State' ticket. Mr. Stuart is booked to go to Lehigh county on Saturday next when he will informally address the Republicans of Lehigh at their county meeting. Ho will make the initial address of his campaign at the mass meetng which is to be held in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, on Wednesday, September 12. Army officers admit the seriousness of the rebellion and admit that its suppression will be a matter of a long time. General Rodriguez denies the rumor of a conflict near Cienfuegos between a government force under Colonel Valle and the insurgents under Guzman. Dispatches from Lincoln, Neb., say the largest crowd In Its history is expected for the homecoming of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan; Governor Mickey, at the ■tate capltol, will Welcome Mr. Bryan to his home on behalf of the state and Mayor Brown on behalf of the city. Mr. Bryan's response Is expected to be extemporary and In the main nonpolltlc. At the conclusion of his address the reception- proper will be held In the corridors of the capltol.

The first two men were discharged by the Judge, the evidence not 'being strong enough to hold them. In the third case the bail was placeA at *500. The man held Is Charles Paldo, and the State constables have a strong case against hTm. The Interests of the prosecution were looked after by Evan Jones, assistant district attorney. There are six foreigners still under arrest In the riot case, in addition to the one remanded tXis morning. SHE Everything that the revolutionists nre doing nnturally Is beiug belittled by the government. Those who have investigated the situation say that the rebel leaders have a well defined plan mapped out and that they are carrying this plan forward slowly but steadily. Already niuny big tobacco plantations are being burned by the insurgents, and it Is estimated that the loss to the tobacco planters alone will be almost $20,000,000 before the end of the year. The managers of the Insurrection have permitted the publication of a document whose orlgUi#l Is believed to be In a deposit vault In the Uulted States. The document gives the full programme of the revolutionists' policy and declares that the Insurgent movement Is Inspired by the fact that the last elections were void. It Is therefore* said to be Imperative that the first stej be to declare vacant the offices of preSdqnt, vice president and civil governors of the six provinces and also of those senators, representatives and provincial councllmen who should have been elected lust December.

Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 5.—The Democratic state convention here renominated John A. Johnson for governor. The renomination of UovernoT John Ai Johnson and enthusiastic Indorsements for William J. Bryan as the party candidate for president in 1008 were the chief features of the convention. The platform protests against "government by Injunction," indorses the movement for a working lay of eight hours and demands revision of the tariff and the election of United States senators by direct vote.

James Setherton, of Nicholson street, Wilkesbarre, who Is employed as a driver for Daniel Cummlskey, the contractor, met with a peculiar accident this morning, which almost resulted fatally. Setherton drove to a sand pit near Plymouth, to get a load of sand. He was In the pit filling his wagon, when the accident occurred. Suddenly the sand walls above him began to cave and. In an Instant, had settled upon the man and his horses and wagon. After the Ilr3t cave only his head and the heads of the horses wore visible. The caving stopped and the man remained in this position for over an hour unable to help himself. At last he managed to summon some passersby, who. after a time, were able to extricate him from his predicament. They found Setherton very severely bruised, and he was taken to his home. The horses do not appear to be much Injured as the result of their queer experience. 75 Cemte fPer OPair It was a terrific fight—as stern a tussle flfl these tried men of the seas ever encountered In battle.
