Early in the afternoon reports of the sinking of two Japanese ships on the au thority of Russian refugees from Palny began to circulate and aroused Intense Interest. When confirmation came of the sinking of at least two Japanese war ships the greatest enthusiasm was shown. The people attribute the enemy's disaster to divine Interposition In the Russian cause.

DIFFICULT TO .Ol'ARD RAILROAD Tmentr-FlTe Thousand Russians Can not Keep Enemy from the Line. MIANDONHA (A station on the Man churlan railway). May 18. (Delayed in transmission.) The taak of safeguarding the railroad agglnst the constant and de termined attacks of Japanese and Chinese agenta has caused the Russian military au thorities unremitting labor. The line must be preserved at all hasards, especially for use In case of retreat; and the task Is en trusted to a separate corps of frontier guards made up of fifty-five mounted squadrons, fifty-five foot companies and six batteries of artillery, altogether 26,000 men. The road, which is 1.400 miles long, Is divided Into sections of thirty-three miles, each guarded by a detachment of troops, which Is expected to constantly patrol. The smallness of the detachmenta makes this duty exceedingly onerous. It Is a matter of comparatively little difficulty for aJapanese spy or a Chinese bandit to steal up to an exposed point and dynamite U before the patrols discover' the danger."- . - - . T.

URGES DEATH FOR PRINCIPLES OF PARTY Calls on His Followers to Stand Fast for Kansas City Ooctrlna a ad Meet the Reeraranlsers Seat Wednesday and Win. William Jennings Bryan -last night Ilk ened his followers In the democratic party to the Christian martyrs in the days of Nero. He told an audience as large as Krug theater would hold that the party to achieve true success must adopt plat forms that mean something, and that dem ocrats must live their "democracy "and If neceassry die for their democracy to show the world where they stand." The crowd did not give the speaker an opportunity to finish his peroration, but lent Itself to deafening yells. While sdme what apathetic during the greater part of the speech. In which Mr. Bryan covered much well worked ground, his audience fairly broke loope with voice and hands when he concluded In a final appeal for votes at the primaries May 25. The peo ple that heard the democratic leader filled the theater to the. capacity permitted by the police, and many were turned away from the doors. In the throng were many women and a great proportion of young men. Mr. Bryan said: I hav been accused of not being Inter ested in democratic success. I do not think there I" a man In Nehrnska nor In the na tion more Intensely interested In demo cratlc success than I am, I believe in the principles of democracy. I believe there never was a time In the history of the country wnen we neeoea it more man to day. But I want to win success on a firm foundation. I do not want the party to secure control of the government and then he driven from nower for betrayal of the people'a trust. The democratic party wants something more than success. It wants reform In American government. Stand by Principle. Doubtless vou have had occasion to read of the early Christian martyrs In the days when Rome was at the height of its glory, and how they were led Into the arena and, because they held their faith, were brutally put to death. Had there been a Democrat lo Success league In those days, I suDDOHe It would have advised the Chris tians to take It all bark nnd deny It. But It was the fidelity to principle that caused the spread and the growth of the Chris tian religion until today we see the most magnificent buildinRS of the church on the ground reddened by the blood of the mar tyrs. You ask me how the democratic party can win.. Well, my frlenda, I will tell you. Instead of Benin a down on our knees and begging people to come Into the party people who have no sympathy with It let us drive out of the party those men whose actions belle their words. Let us adopt platforms that mean something. Let us be democrats that will live our platform, and If necessary to die for our platform to show the world where we stand. This country s abandonment of the prin ciples of liberty is causing us to be the butt of laughter and ridicule in the courts of the old world. I found from personal Investigation that our action In the Philip pines Is losing us prestige throughout the world. We must have faith stronger than our appetites for office. You cannot prove Jour faith by what you are willing to en oy. You can prove it only by showing what you are willing to suffer. You will have a chance to express your selves at the primaries on May 25. It Is of hut little Importance whether I am chren as one of the delegates to Bt. Louis or not, but It is Important that there be sixteen deelgates from this state who will stand for democracy and not compromise It. Don't send a divided delegation down there to fight among themselves. Let no man go there who would sell his office for patronage, be tt state or federal. Opinion of the Soccess I.easme, Mr. Bryan began his talk by paying his respects to his enemies here at home, as embodied tti ;the "; Democratic Success league. He said they are practicing fraud when they pretended to compliment him by sending him to St. Louis aa a delegate, but fought against the Kansas City plat form. Personally, he declared he solicited support from no one who was not In full ccord with. the Kansas City platform, to which he constantly referred In comparison with the platform of the New York dem ocrats. After turning the searchlight on the tariff question, and saying that It Is still a live Issue, the orator smote the reorgnnlzers a hearty blow by announcing they are afraid to declare where they stand on the tariff question because they are in league with the monopolies who want legislation to satisfy their greed. After the tariff had been dealt with for twenty minutes, Mr. Bryan put up the trusts as a punch injf bag, cheerfully leagu ing the reorganlzera as part and parcel of the monopolistic clan and soundFy basted them all. He asked why was not the Kan sas City trust plank endorsed. Answer, "Because private monopoly Is Indefensible and Intolerable." There were more answers. each one severely arraigning the reorgan ises at home and abroad, for Mr. Bryan classed them all together and made no distinctions. He also told the story of the Indiana man who asked him why he didn't quit the leadership and allow some money to get Into Indiana demooratlo politics again. He also accused President Roose velt of failing to enforce the laws against trusts and condemned the reorganlxers for falling to criticise the president. . On the Money Question. Then' the audience was haled back to the money question and Mr. Bryan explained that the 18 to 1 ratio was .not the only phase of the matter. There Is the question of bank notes versus greenbacks and an asset currency; also the law pending to convert 678,000,000 sliver dollars Into pieces of smaller denominations. This latter was to rob the country of the advantage gained under an increased production of gold, said Mr. Bryan. Therefore, It was very bad and designed to help the Wall street financiers, with whom the reorganlsers are chums and playmates. Another fault of the New York plat form, asserted Mr, Bryan, is the failure to promise anything definite for labor; notably forgetting to say anything at all about arbitration and government by in junction, all of which the Kansas City platform had provided for In a very able manner. Lastly, he told how the question of Im perialism, which he said had not yet been settled, had been overlooked by the re organisers. Then the orator closed with the remarks given In substance above, Lifebuoy Soap's made to do things, the odor of health proves this. In "Laundrv" j ... and "Toilet " f size. aroused a great deal nf enthusiasm thereby and finished speaking.- The meeting was under the auspices Of the Loyal Democratic league, and Dr. A. W. Riley, Its president, presented Mr. Bryart, who will speak again tonight at Bohemian Turner hall. Ignore shoemaker. During the afternoon the following letter was sent to the fax ton hotel to be de livered to Mr. Bryan, but he made no refer ence to the queries In his speech: OMAHA, May 19 Hon. W. J. Bryan: Dear Sir As you have come to Omaha to speak tonight, to tell democrats here what they ought to do In their ward and county primaries for delegates to the state conven tion, I ask you to answer from the stage at the Krug theater the following ques tions: 1. Is It not a fact when the .luestion of the appointment of a clerk of the supreme court was up before that body at the time Lee Herdiuan was appointed that you recommended and Indorsed the chairman of the populist stute committee, Mr. EdmJn- ston, tor tnat piuceT t. Is it not a fact also that thcr were three or four other democrats upplicants besides Mr. Iterdman for th.v position. any one of whom was entirely competent and qualitled In every way for the posi tion i S. Should the question of a candidate for the nomination for president at the na tional democratic convention to be held at St. Louis come to a choice as between Minam K. Hearst and Judge Alton B. Parker, ns a delesnte tn that convention. which one would vou support and lend your Influence to nominate? . Is It not a fact that you are aware that the win of the party In this city which you have come here to help out are all for Mr. Hearst for president? 6. Do you not think that It Is humiliating to vou to come hrre tn Omnha nnd encrnec In ward politics to carry primaries? 6. Should Judge Alton B. Parker be nominated by the convention at St. Louis would you support him? A frank answer tn th foresroin (men tions would relieve the minds of, many democrats In. this community. W. S. SHOEMAKER. SIGNS OF A BREAK Continued from 'First Page. being 633. the majority was declared to be present. Immediately Afterward Judge Emll Baensch of Manitowoc appeared on- the platform and released the 'delegates In structed, for him nnd expressed his desire to support Cook. He was cheered for ten minutes. Samuel A. Cook was then unanimously nominated for governor. The nominee, Mr. Cookv was brought Into the convention, followed by Congressmen Bahcock and Minor. This was the first na tional recognition of the convention. Mr. Cook declared himself for honest gov ernment, economically administered. He was loudly cheered. As he sat down Sen ators Spooncr and Quarles, former Gover nor Scofleld, former Governor W. H. Upham and C. C. Rogers mounted the stage. The convention went wild. Men threw up their hats and women screamed with enthusiasm. Senator John C. Spooner, whose speech was the feature Of vthe convention this afternoon, declared that he appeared before the convention to endorse Its action with regard to the LaFolIctte convention, and that he would stand by the antl-thlrd term ers to the end. As he raised his hand to speak the delegates gave the Wisconsin yell. He said: I understand that this is the reniihllmn convention of duly authenticated delegates of the republican party. I have supported the party, though at times It meant a su preme teat of party loyalty. When, how ever, men are deprived of a prima facie right, not by a convention of their peers, but by a convention controlled In the in terest of personal ambition, then manly honesty demands justice. I am here today to endorse your action.- I am with you to ine ena. .- Speaking of the. control of LaFollette over, the administration Senator Spooner sold; .,- He who seeks to strangle the voice of ths people is guilty of moral treason in po litical system.

WATTERSON TO EDITORS Veteran Y.wipaper Uin Tells Eii Fellow About the Editorial Page. SHOULD BE MADE A STRONG FEATURE Speaker Deplores Present Tendency to l.rvlty and Would Elevate Tone of Lending Articles in Kewspapcrs. ST. LOUIS. May 19. rhe National Edi torial roclatlon held Its final sessions today. The forenoon session was devoted to addresses and the afternoon to election of officers and completion of routine busi ness. So grest waa the desire of delegates to ltdulge in talk at the opening of the ses sion today that President P. V. Collins ex perienced great difficulty In calling the convention to order. After continually rapping with the gavel and appointing extra sergeant-at-arms to seat delegates, order was finally secured and Henry Wat terson of Louisville waa Introduced. Mr. Watterson spoke on "The Editorial Page," and said: Kvery profession may be said to have Its mice and l's men; Inevitably more mice than men. There is the mousing politician with hi confusion of the little and the big in public affairs, a great nun, as JefTerHon said of Burr, In small things, a small man In great ones, seeking the bauble, reputation, e'en at the barrel's bung, and, along with It, the wherewithal to pay for the dance. There Is the mousing man of letters, who has drunk not deep of the Plerean spring, quite top heavy with his critical fads, his fancied originality, his spites and envies, rattling around in borrowed plumage and playing hide and seek through a few half vacant chambers chiefly furnished with stolen goods. And then, let us confess It, there Is tho mousing Journalist, whose wares are mostly second-hand, who Im ports his wit and manufactures his news, affecting Jove's thunder in the turn-turn of a finger bowl In case he happens to be acquainted with that homely utensil. The antitheses to these several discreditable, though not always disreputable, persons is the public man of Integrity and Judgment, who is not afraid to do right; the literary man, who, possessed of some knowledge of the world of life and thought as well as of books, Is not so cock sure of himself and his opinions, nor so free with his re sentments; mid the newspaper writer who can give and take without brutality or malice, and who, no matter how bellicose, brings to the combat clean hands and a little accuracy both of Information and statement. In making this brief resume I hope that no one of you will consider me needlessly aggressive or personally offensive. History of Yesterday. Primarily, the dally newspaper Is the history of yesterday. If It should perform this function simply, having no other end In view, Its value to the community would be priceless. Intelligent readers, entrusted with the facts and unhindered by pressure, could read their own conclusions. The editorial page is valuable In the de gree that It aids the reader to digest the news. It should either be reformed or abandoned. Rnles for Editorial Writing. Disinterestedness being the soul, good humor Is the solar svstem of the editorial page, which should be held subject to these precepts: Write of a man nothing you would not fay to his face, and might not aay in the hearing of deoent people. Avoid equally Intimation and Intimida tion, making no suggestion you are not Prepared to reduce to assertion and to sus sln with proof. The "leading article," being the rationale of the most Important and interes'Jng piece of the day's news, should have a c-egln-nlng, a middle and an end; should be con cise and incisive; seeking to assist the reader in nis effort to comprenena tne situ atlon. 8atlre should keep within the bounds of the probable; wit under the restraints of sense; ana even invective snorn or aajec tlve and adverb, and stripped to the waist Should strike out from the shoulder to hit only above the belt The pert paragraph should be allowed to aia a natural aeatn. rso nowers, . Cure It or Kill 11. The editorial nssre thus conceived and. ex ecuted, thus Inspired and partitioned, could not fall to impress Itself upon the thought or tne tune, at once a power ana a reaiure, an arm of the service and a commercial asset. Excent it be thus delivered the editorial page were best extinguished. To set apart a certain number of columns for the equivo cal dignity of large type; to fill these col umns with perfunctory matter; with mat ter aa lifeless as dolls stuffed with saw dust, equally wanting 'he elements of con viction and continuity: one thing today, another thing tomorrow: unirradiated by any gleam of llgght. undlverslfled, even by a trick or rancy,' unirorm ony in auuness. Is to dlsflcrure the once, to degrade the edi torial. But directed and made up by a man of Intelligence, not necessarily what Is caned an able or a nrimant man mereiy a man ef sound understanding, constant and conscientious In his work, upright and elevated In his purpose, having a sufficient knowledge of affairs, an honest heart and & level head the rood of such an adiunct of the dally news such an Index to the nistory or yesteraay were mcaicuiaoie; and, though it lead to a personal Journalism somewhat discredited of late, U will at least embody a responsible journalism; much to be preferred to prevailing tenden tlea, which.

The amount assessed by the city on the household goods of the national bank presi dents of the city and the taxes paid thereon by each for the current year, have been tabulated the result of a poor woman's plaint In the office of the city treasurer. She protested bitterly against releasing a tax of something more than $14 on a $1,000 mortgage and a small amount of household good. The fact that one national bank president, M. T. Bar low of the X'nited States bank, had paid a tax of but $3 last year on hi household goods, was brought Into play aa illustrative of the rampant Injustice done to the poor to the benefit of the rich. Investigation of the records in the tax commissioner' office do not bear out thi tatemont. On household goods alone the assessments range from $12,670 to $800, the highest being that of Herman Kountse.
