St. Louis, Aug. 13. — Homer Bassford, staff correspondent of the St. Louis Republic, who is traveling With William J. Bryan, writing under date of Aug. 'J from Zurich, outlines Mr. Bryan's plans for a division of control of the railroads of the country among thi' states and the federal government. The letter follows: San Francisco, Aug. 13.—To tha comimercial mind the bank clearing!) of a city are the index of progress, and taking this as the criterion San Francisco has returned to very near Its normal business conditions. But while San Francisco has resumed business, and Is doing more than it did a year ago, it must not be understood that it Is rebuilt.

New York, Aug. 13.—Unprecedented scenes of rioting und brutality marked an attempt by the Brooklyn ltapld Transit company to collect a second fare from passengers to Coney Island, in disregard of Judge Oaynor's decision of Saturday that a second fare was illegal. Cumberland, Md., Aug. 13.—Secretary of the Navy Charles .1. Bonaparte delivered an address at the Allegheny Chautauqua, near Cumberland, before a large gathering on "Anarchism and Its Ilemedy." lie was introduced liy Congressman Oeorge A. l'earre of Maryland and said in part: "The final and most truly vital condition of success in ridding our conn try of anarchism in practice is that American public opinion should recognize the utter emptiness" the inherent folly of Its theory and of all the kindred ready made, furnished while you wait schemes for the social regeneration of mankind. Civilized society as it exists today, if it be nothing more, is the outcome of all the strivings for Justice and happiness of the human race during thousands of years. What monstrous presumption, what preposterous conceit, for any man, were he the wisest, the most learned, the most Justly famed of his own age or of all ages, to imagine that, with but the Clim, flickering lights of his own dull, feehie mind, with but the few imperfect lessons of his own short, ill spent life to guide his hand, he cotlld cast down and build up again this incredibly vast, tliis infinitely complex, fabric and improve on its structure." President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, Chairman Shouts, of the Isthmian canal commission, and other men prominently identfled with the work have delayed employing Chinese until it bccame evident that the other help available was not equal to the demands. The administration has taken the position that the canal must bo dug at any cost, and although the President urged tliit there be no haste in employing Chinese, he did not stand permanently (in the way of plans to try the coolies. "Anarchism is the product of two conditions, which prevail to a greater or less extent among the less enlightened classes of modern civilized society—namely, the decay of religious faith aiTd a measure of superficial, and therefore unsound, popular education. "Mr. Bryan will attack the trusts in his New York speech, and it is probable that he will go further and give his views on certain forms of public ownership of the utilities, with special reference to railroads, both interstate and within stales. It is also quite likely that, with the support of the original Bryan party wing and the aid of such eastern conservatives as Alvah A. Clark of New Jersey, he will come out boldly for a constitutional amendment that will make an income tax one of the certainties of the next half (loz- Men and women were hauled from cars by men employed by the railroad company for that purpose and scores escaped only after they had been severely bruised and their clothes in many instances literally torn from them. Two men had to be taken to a hospital. Thirty days passed before the ruins were cool enough to permit the handling of the debris and not much can be done in the way of rebuilding a big city In 74 days. The fire began on the morning of April 18, and on the afternoon of July 30 workmen uncovered hot coals which burst Into flame when exposed to the air. This was 98 days after the place had been The purchase also includes all the improvements, buildings, woods, ways, rights, liberties, privileges, etc., of the former owners. The original party of the first pnrt was the Pennsylvania Coal Co.; the party of the second part was Dudley Phelps nnd wife and the parly of the third part was the Erie A Wyoming Valley R. R. Co., who all have joined In the sale of the roadbed. Attorney Dudley originally purchased the right of way for the Lahrel Line and has transferred the same to vice president Conn. "It is sometimes said that anarchism and socialism, as systems, are mutually antipodal and destructive. 1 should be very sorry to diminish whatever hostility the adherents of either 'system' may feel for the other, for the old adage as to the consequences of such strife to honest men embodies no small measure of truth, but, to my ndnd, this view of their relations is altogether superficial. They are two divergent stems growing from the same root. That root is the doctrine that all men of right ought to bo, and should therefore be made and kept, precisely equal. More than lot),000 persons were maroohed at Coney Island, and at midL night, and in a string of ears five miles long, which extended from Kings Highway to Coney island. It Is tho intention of the commission to ask for bid* from labor agents who will arrange; with the Chinese government for the exportation of labor, transport the .Chinese to the Isthmus under contract to work for a fixed wage and sjiip them back to China, thus relieving the commission of all detail work and all responsibil- burned Police were powerless to restrain the mobs, mid attacks were made upon inotormen, conductors and superintendents. Women ami children begged the police to take them home, and, exhausted, lay down beside the tracks to spend the night. Cars began to move slowly before 1 o'clock, but it was daylight before they ilnished their trip. It Is well to remember these facts when considering the rebuilding of San Francisco, and the firm which rehabilitates itself within three and a half months In its old place of business shows an energy which .speaks well for the future of the city. en years "If Mr. Itrynn enters upon the money question it is likely that he will repeat his assertions of recent years that conditions have eliminated money as all Issue. These conclusions are the result of several conversations with Mr. llryan in Loudon, at which time I saw him almost every day in a fortnight. For the past ten days the Laurel Line has had a force of men at work along the old gravity track close by the North Avoca station making excavations for a freight depot to be erected there. It Is the desire of Chief Engineer Stevens to have several kinds of laborers on the isthmus. The employment of the Chinese will not displace the Jamaicans who are already there. According to the estimates of the California Promotion committee 6,000 firms are now doing business In the burned district. Temporary structures to the number of 4,500 have been erected and 86 permanent buildings are being erected. Thirty-five class "A" buildings damaged by fire are undergoing reconstruction, and IS of them are now occupied. General .Manager Dow M. Smith and six employees of the road were arrested at 11 o'clock. Later they were bailed out and set the red lights on all the Culver division, completely blocking the road. VETERANS OF THE WAR Has Plan of His Own "A Socialist is essentially, although not always avowedly or even consciously, one who sees that the equality demanded by this doctrine can be fully, or even approximately, secured only among slaves. A southern plantation before the war constituted, so far as the negroes were concerned, very nearly a socialistic community, and they were probably as nearly equal among themselves us human beings can lie permanently kept. In this community a Socialist merely substitutes for the omnipotent, omisclent master an omnipotent, omniscient corporation made up of the slaves themselves, slaves each one of them as an individual to all, in their corporate capacity and names tills corporation 'The State.' "One of the many striking impressions that have come to Mr. Bryan on this tour has to do with the ownership of the great public utilities by the state, with special reference to the railroads. Mr. Bryan has been in Europe on other occasions. Me has been careful to examine the conditions surrounding the government management of the larger arteries of travel. but it is not likely that any West Indian negroes will be if the Chinese prove u success. move hired LEHIGH IMPROVEMENTS Annual Encampment Mjets GIRL KILLS HERSELF. Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keefe {hen appealed to Assistant Superintendent Durklli, in the Interest of the women and children who were weeping and begging to be taken home, to open the switches and release traffic: The business of San Francisco is estimated to have recovered to the extent of 75 per cent, of what it was before the fire. The bank clearings for the month of July showed an Increase of 8 3-4 per cent, over those of July, 1905. while the building permits for the past month exceeded $3,- 000,000 in value. Twenty-five thousand men are at work on reconstruction In \the city, and the demand for labor ir&the building trades and for ordinary laborers is Increasing dally. One hundred carloads of debris have been removed daily since July 1, but even at this rate It will take fully a year to have It all cleared away. in Minneapolis, Coxton and Ransom the Scene of Important Work. The City Is Crowded With Soldiers Quarrelled With Her Father and Visitors—Vigorous Campaign "In one very important particular he would apply the theory differently to the United States. His plan would admit of the ownership of certain trunk lines by the general government in order that the famously efficient through services should not in any way suffer Impairment, but he would insist that the local lines in every state be owned by the separate states, thus preserving more effectually the Idea of the state Individuality, which, lu Mr. Bryun's opinion, would in time be wiped out if all lines passed into federal control. The enormous patronage that would be the result of such a railroad management in America would of course tend to intrench the party in power and would in time accomplish what Mr. Bryan fears and would contend against—the abolition of state boundaries. Mr. Durkiu, according to the police, refused to take action.

In order to provide space for the additional tracks through the narrows, the road bed is being widened, and a large force of men are engaged in the work. Several train crews are at the place, and considerable broken rock haa been dumped along the river bank to protect the tracks from encroachments of the floods. At the Ransom end of the section a force of about 200 laborers The rehabilitation of the big newspapers speaks volumes for the energy of San Francisco. The fact that the issues were continuous owing to the use of plants across the bay in Oakland, is not a matter of great credit to the enterprise of the publishers, but when it Is known that the "Call" was printing Its paper in its old building within six weeks of the day of the lire, and that the "Chronicle" had installed an entirely new plant in its building, and was issuing its papers regularly, within 90 days, something of the rapidity with which San fYancisco is being rehabilitated may be understood. Unusual efforts have been put forth by the city authorities and citizens to make the stay of the visitors as pleasant as possible. The city has been decorated and the streets repaved. Arrangements for receiving the visitors and supplying them with quarters, food and other accommodations are completed. Thousands of private homes have been opened for the veterans, families and friends. Tents have been erected on the parade and Northrup fields for veterans who wish to camp out. Committed A mysterious tragedy occurred yesterday afternoon at Throop, near Scranton. when 15-year-old Susie Gallo, after quarreling "with her father unhesitatingly drew a revolver and sent a bullet crashing into her brain. Death followed about 30 minutes after the trigger was pulled. There are several mysterious features about the affair, and the police have as yet been unable to learn how the girl came in possession of the revolver, a 32-calibre one of the Smith & Weston make. A coroner's jury- was called and after listening to several witnesses rendered a verdict to the effect that the girl "came to her death by a bullet wound at the hands of some one unknown to the jury." The accepted theory in the neighborhood, however, is that the girl blew out her "Over here it Is interesting to note thf) almost entire absence of confusion I11 passing from one government to another.

This is a big job, on account of the necessity of removing the substantial stone ballast which forms the roadbed and replacing the same in a now location for the track. It is also necessary to operate trains on a single track along the stretch where the work is In progress. A long stretch of the west bound track [was removed on Saturday and Sunday, and work was in progress today on the east bound track. Nearer Coxton a force of 200 men were at work today laying/ heavy new rails on the third line, the purpose being to make all four tracki? along this stretch of road of standard equipment, with stone ballast and heavy rails, so that heavy trains can be run at high speed over all of the tracks. There ha3 been a third track along this section for several years, being used as a leader for the yard, but the track has been of less substantial construction than the main tracks. A glance at the character and extent of the work that is being done along this section of the line gives the impression that the Lehigh Valley management regards Coxton and the vicinity of the new storage yard at Ransom as of the utmost importance from a traffic point of view and Intends to expend a large sum of money to make the track equipment substantial and adequate. The "Call" saved the larger of Its presses, and rushed orders for its linotypes and other machinery, and was able to utilize its old home lji a very short time. The "Chronicle" had to set a complete new plant of mammoth presses and linotypes, stereotyping machinery, and all the accessories of a big newspaper. The old building of the "Chronicle" was destroyed by fire and the new  lng was not completed. When It Is known that J6S.000 worth of marbla facing was destroyed In this new building some Idea may be had of Its character. Hubert V." Brown, of Zanesville, O..

Many women who, being unable to speak English, had not been able to understand what the trouble was all about, got down on their knees In some of the ears and offered thanks to the police. Squads of policemen stayed on duty In each car and with clubs drawn compelled the motormen to creep ahead as rapidly its was possible. grant own brains "80 much of the evil. How can it be cured? If we mean cured in a day, a mouth, a year, a decade, 1 answer unhesitatingly—not at all. Anarchism will not be removed within a given time or through a special measure or set of measures. Perhaps it will not be wholly removed in any time or by any means. It is the product of causes Which cannot be eradicated by legislation, however drastic, of causes which lie deep in the scheme of modern civilization. But because I have 110 panacea to recommend it must not be supposed that I would have nothing done. I believe that anarchism lias .been already made less and can be made much less dangerous and harmful by being dealt with seriously and rationally.Looks For No Clash From at? much as was possible to learn from the parents and the neighbors, the act was committed at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon after a lone quarrel between the young girl and her father. It was said around the house that the entire family had been drinking during the morning. At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon Susie approached her father and told him that she was going out in the afternoon with the Comrot girls, who live in that vicinity and who were her chums. This the father objected to and warned her not to go. Susie did not mind that, however, and ran out of the houae to meet her friends. The three had gone down as far as the corner when they were stopped by a whistle from behind them. Susie was the first to turn around and there she saw her younger brother, who asked her to come back to the house.

Drastic Penalties Recommended TRIES TO SAVE LEG; DYING OF GANGRENE "In the first place, the unlawful nets prompted by anarchism should be made crimes, in so far as they are not, strictly speaking, crimes already, and as crimes there should be visited with Bitch penalties as are particularly distasteful to the criminals and therefore the most effective deterrants to crime. In dealing with a convicted anarchist two facts may well be remembered— the chances of his real reformation are so small that they may be safely neglected, and we can appeal for practical purposes,to but one motive on his part to discourage a repetition of his offens—namely, the fear of physical paiu and death.

Joseph Raczewski, a Plymouth Polander, who was employed as a iaborler, is dying at his home as a result of his refusal to undergo an operation. Six weeks ago. while Raczewtiki was working in the Parrlsh mine, his left leg was crushed beneath a fall of rock. He was taken to Mercy hospital and amputation was decided on. Raczewski refused to hear of such a thing and felt confident that the limb could be saved. He wan removed from the hospital to his home and in a short time gangrene set in. He was taken to the Wilkesharro City hospital but it was found that there was no hope of saving his lite. He was again removed to hi« home and is growing rapidly weaker.

Before he was able to raise the weapon, however, it was thrown out of his hands. "On anarchists the death penalty should be unequivocally Imposed by law and inflexibly executed whenever the prisoner has sought, directly or indirectly, to take life. For offenses of less gravity I udvise a comparatively brief but .very rigorous Imprisonment, characterized by complete seclusion, deprivation of all comfort and denial of any form of distraction and which could be, to my mind, ndvantageously supplemented by a severe but not a public whipping. The lash, of all punishments, most clearly shows the culprit that he suffers for what his fellow men hold odious and disgraceful and not merely for reasons of public policy.
