"Mr. bryan's informant took an ac tive part in the caucus and in giving the information minimizes the differ ence between Mr. Underwood and Mr. Clark, but the lact remains thut Mr. Clark offered the resolution, as Mr. Bryan first stated, on the authority of the Omaha World Herald. "It is strange that Mr. Underwood, in denouncing Mr. Bryan, was nt candid no uh to admit that Mr. CU; k introduced tho resolution. "The Issue, then, is not one of fact, as Mr. Lmleiwo d would have It dp pear, but a difference as to toncbi sions. Why did Mr. Underwood oppose the preparation of an iron and steel schedule at this season, or until after the prcsid"nt acted? The fact that he asked the committee to relieve him of embarrassment by reporting a bill n the beginning of the extra session is evidence of good Intent at the be ginning, but is not conclusive as to hU reasons for favoring delay at Uie close of the session. Still of Same Mind. "ThoM who have onfidence In Mr. Underwood may accept his reasons at their face value, but Mr. Bryan does not. have confidence In him and does not accept his reasons. Mr. Uryan believes him tainted with protection nnd regards his selection as chairman of the committee as unfortunate. Th comnrttee will have more work to do next winter.
