American ves sels will hereafter be excluded from the coasting trade of Canada. For some yeara the coasting laws ot Canada have been sus pended so far as the Pacific coast Is con cerned, owing to the fact that there was not enough Canadian and British traffic to fill requirements. American bonis have done a large and profitable business be tween Seattle and Nome, carrying between such ports at Vancouver, Victoria, and Sksgwa. It haa been decided by the gov ernment that there is enough British and Canadian tonnage on the coast to look after the trade and the same coasting reg ulation has been put Into force for the Pacific coast aa applies to the Atlantic.

BOSTON, Mass., June 23 The streets of Boston-were crowded '.T&jr wb, vlsltmg lub women from aM"ifrt cf -th country, and the arrival of each train added to the number-already in the city by hundreds. This great gathering of women, of whom 3.500 are expected as accredltted delegates with possibly twice as many friends, are here for the ninth biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's clubs, the opening meeting of which will be held In Symphony hall tonight.

PARTS OF BODY ALONG TRACK Discovery ot Diabolical Addition to New York Criminal Annals la Made. NEW YORK, June 23. The finding of parts of a human body scattered for miles along the tracks of the Desbrosses street trolley line today reveals whst may be a dlalollcal addition toNew York's crime annals. The hands were found where the line crosses the Willlamaburg bridge and the legs at the Desbrosses street ferry In Man hattan, over four mllea away, while the muntllated torso was picked up on the bridge over Kent svenue. So disfigured were the face and body there was no means of Identification. The police were In doubt today whether the victim was accidentally atruck and cut to piecea by a trolley car on the Willlama burg bridge or was murdered. One theory is thst the man was murdered and then placed on the tracka on the Wflllamsburg bridge ao that the body would be mutilated beyond recognition and thus cover up the crime. The only clue to the Identity of the victim is thst he had black hair and was of athletic build. The tragedy was not discovered until a trolley car on the Desbrosses line wss stalled at the ferry and Inspection revealed that the parta of a human body were wound around ths gearing.

H;a most for midable rival ia Congressman Clayton of Alabama, and some members of the com mittee suggest the ambitions of both may be gratified by making one of the aspirants temporary and the other permanent chnii man. It la the Intention of the membera ot the committee, however, to krep their mindi open until the time cornea for making 'h cholce In order to render It poasible up to tUa laat moment to obtain, the best man for the place. MORE STRICTURES BY BRYAN Nebraska Candidate Completes His Review of Republican. Platform. NONE OF IT TO HIS LIKING He Sara the Document Is a Silent Repudiation of Almost Every Rooaeveltlan Principle. LINCOLN. Neb., June 23. Denouncing the republican platform as a snent repu diation of almost every Rooseveltlan prin ciple. William J. Bryan today completed an editorial summary of the work of the Chicago convention. Mr. -Bryan w-lll say In the next Isaue of the Commoner: Have you read the republican platform? If not, you ought to read It. The con test In the republican party between the reformer and the stand-patter is for the present at an end, with the stand-patter In the saddle. The platform Is a silent re- 1 udtatlon of nearly every promise: of re form that the president and his followers have given to the country. It begtns with an eulosy of the president "In no other period since the days of Lincoln" accord ing to the platform, "has there been such mighty progress in those ideals of govern ment which make for Justice, equality and fair dealing among men." The highest aspiration of the American people have found a voice. (A reflection Is here implied on previous republican presi dents who have failed to furnish a voice fr "the highest ampliations of the Ameri can people). Their most exalted servant represents the best alms and worthiest purposes of all his countrymen. American manhood hue been lifted to a noble sense of duty and obligation. Without asking why the re publican party lias held office and divided the official salaries among Its partisans so long without giving us a president who represented "the best aims and worthiest purposes of the people," without asking why no other republican president in recent days "has lifted American manhood to n noble sense of duty and obligation." we man, ask why It Is that the republican convention spends so much time In prais ing the president and gives so little st tention to the specific endorsement of the things he has advocated. Aliened Inaction of Congresa. But the president must not feel that he Is the only republican deserving or praise. The recent congresses, according to the platform, have been full of patriots and the republican legislators have been "keeping step in the forward march to better govern ment." What doea the president think of being bracketed with republican senators and members of congress in this Indlscrlm lnate praise? Nothing Is said of the con sptracy formed among the republican lead ers of the senate to defeat the president's railroad rate bill; no Intimation Is here given that he sent several messages to con gress in vain to endesvor to get the lower house to take up the reforms which he was urging. The president must resent the fsct that the platform expresses no gratitude to the democratic membera ana senators for supporting him when the republicans deserted him. Not only does the platform fall to give the democrats credit for help ing the president In every effort to lift up American manhood to a noble sense of duty and obligation, "but It actually con demns the filibuster which the democratic minority instituted and carried on for the express purpose of compelling republicans to csrry out the president's recommenda tions. Mr. Williams, leader or tne minority, time and again called upon the republicans to furnish thirty votes in support of the president s policies snd pledged the demo cratic minority to furnish the remaining number of votes necessary to carry out several of the president's recommendations, and yet the men who wrote the platform presume upon the Ignorance of the public and complain that the filibuster prevented tne enactment or many wnoiesome ana pro gressive laws." Cnrreney Bill Criticised. The writers of the platform especially commend tne passage of the emergency cur rency bill a bill which combined two fea tures, one of which hss been rejected by the senate and the other by the house. So long ss there was a chance for a discussion there was sufficient republican opposition to condemn both features of the bUI, but under the Influence of a few financiers the bill was rushed through during the closing hours, with all the bad features restored and all the good ones eliminated. How proud the republican bosses In the senata and house must feel to have their work thus endorsed by a republican national con vention. Tim plank demanding a permanent change in 'the curfrency system la general enotiRh to permit the republican orators to advocate In each section of the cour-t.-y the system most popular there and sufll clently Indefinite to enable congress to do whatever it pleases or nothing without violating any pledge. The truBt plank nuiBt prove a disappointment to every republican who haa come to understand the iniquity of the trusts. There Is no demand for a rigid enforcement of the law; there Is no suggestion that the criminal clause which has not yet brought the trust malefactor within the walla of a penitentiary should be called Into use. The plttform says that the law can be atrengthened by amend ments which will enlarge the supervision ot tne general government, Dut tnese amendmenta are not mentioned, and there la nothing in this plank of the platform that can be appealed to to secure any real Improvement In the law. If the presi dent, with all his strenuoslty has not been able to enforce the criminal law against a single trust, what progress can be made with such an anti-trust plank aa that In serted In the platform. There ia a plank in the platform in favor of legislation and supervision such as will prevent the future over-issue of stocks snd bonds by interstate carriers. This Is good, but it is coupled with the advocacy of a pooling arrangement which makes a large concession to the railroads without exacting any security to the public, for the convention voted down an amendment proposed by 8enator LaFollett's followers authorizing sn enlargement of the pnwera of the interstate commerce commission. i Race Q aeat Ion Dlacnaaed. The nro comes In for his quadrennial quota of taffy. He la reminded that the republican party gave him freedom and citizenship, and there is the Implied warn ing that he must not use his citizenship against the party that gave it to him. It bua3ts that lie is Indebted to that party for his political rights and for his progress In intelligence, Industry, etc. The republi can party has made political capital out of the negro for a third of a century. In niKny of the close states' it has won Its elections by the negro vote and in the states v. hert It has won Its elections by the n.-".v vote and In the states where It has hti-4 v-ower It has never treated the negro any btter than he has been treated hy the democrats. In 'other words. In the northern states the democrats, without receiving any support from the negro vote, have been as friendly to him as the republicans. In the south the democrats have furnished a large part of the money to provide that education of which the republican party boasta. Yet in each recurring campaign the republican leadera have attempted to appeal to t,ht prejudices of the negro by parading before him the restrictions placed upon suffrage. In some of the southern states. They have beer. In control of the government, with the exception of a few years, now for nearly half a century and they have controlled the courta aa well aa the other branches of tiie government. If the democrats have done anything that they ought not to have done, why have not the republicans prevented it? Why is It that the republican leaders are only solicitous sbout the colored man when voting time comes? , The republican platform says: "We con demn all devlcea which have for their real aim hla (the negro's) disfranchisement for reasons of color alone as unfair, un-American snd repugnant to the supreme law of the land." How can these things be repugnant to the aupreme la wof the land when the re publican supreme court Is supposed to stand guard over the supreme lew of the land? There is scarcely a republican platform that does not approach the negro with the asxiimption that hla only Interest is In the suffrage laws of the south. No republican speaker discusses economic questions before a colored audience, and yet the negro la in terested in every economic question that effects the white man. publican leaders coi.ilnually do, that he thinks of no questions except those that arise between the racea. It is an insult to his Intelligence as well aa to his patriotism to suggest as ths re- ONE MORE JIM GETS PLACE ahnsaiaBnanan Epstein Lands Trillion of Asnlstant Brraeaat-at-Arms of Na tional Convention.

Omaha. ' Though the chief of the Jims does not recognise the Jacka In any particular, the Jacks point to the fact that they receive recognition from a higher power, vli., the republican governor of the state.
