From Oar Regnlai Correspondent.
William Jennings Bryan was. in
Washington this week and gave
an interview, tending to correct
some inaccuracies that he said
crept into the talk he made in New
York. He says that he did not
say as attributed to him that
there were more important issues
than the tariff before the people.
What he said was that there were
three issues before the people, the
trusts, the railroads and the
tariff and that they were of equal
importance. There were other
issues, he said, but these three
were paramount. He said he did
not think it necesary to give su
preme importance to any one of
the three issues named. The Demo
cratic party, he said was deter
rained on all of them Through
revision of the tanB, examina
tion of the trusts and strict regu
lations of the railroads. He did
not say' it will be rioted, govern
ment ownership of the railroads.
Col. Bryan has come to the con
clusion that he is too nearly a-
lone in his government owner
ship theory to attempt to make
it a part of the creed of the Demo
cratic party, but he knows that
strict supervision and control of
the railroads is a thing on which
all members of the party agree.
As to the possibility of Presi
dent Roosevelt nominating his
successor, in office, Mr. Bryan
said that it was hardly a neccesa
ry or laudable proceeding. He
said a candidate with' a clear
record needed no sponsor. ,
; Speaking of candidates, there
is a good , deal of quiet amuse
ment among the politicians m
Washington and there are a good
many of them still here, over the
solemnly raodcat way in which
Senator -Knox received the en
dorsement of the Pennsylvania
convention on . the launching of
his presidential boom. Senator
Knox is a good man in a great
many ways and is personally well
liked in Washington. But it is
thoroughly understood among
practical ; politicians that his
boom. is being worked up by
corporate interests as a stalking
horse in the fight, that the mana
gers of the Republican party are
afraid to make openly against
any man lor. President Roose-

a man to succeed Quay and was
hesitating between several pos
sible. candidates when II. C. Frick
and" President Cassat of tho Pa.,
Railroad , walked into his office
.and said that they wanted Knox
appointed. 'There was not a
moment 8 hesitation. Knox was
given the place and rumor has it
that the place cost someboby
$250,000, that, -went where .it
would .dp ,the- most good. Now
ifKnoi should ever be elected
Presideut and have a trust fight
on his hands, it is hardly likely
that the trust would get the
worst of it. -
The Kt.rlft fliirrv nvpr the hold-
inor ud of two or three diplomats
in automobiles near Washington
on the Conduit road ' for exceed
ing the speed laws has grown till
it is becoming quite a respecta
ble sized wane; - The holdups re
ferred to was the work of the
mavoriand the sheriff of Glen
Echo, a little hamlet on the out
skirts of Washington. The town
is just outside the .District line
and is so small that one would
hardly know.vit .was , there if it
were not lor the sheriff with, his

Which he runs down and convict

much in the habit of
using
the
road, and as it is a fine road,
kept in repair by the War De
partment, there is every tempta
tion to let out the machines and
dp a little Speeding. There waB a
great deal of talk in the newspa
pers over stopping the diplomats
because a diplomat is under trer.-
ty protection and exempt from
arrest no matter what he does.
One would think that under the
circumstances they would be par
ticularly careful about not viola
ting police ordinances. But they
aie not and they havecomplain
ed bitterly to the War Depart
ment about being stopped on
the Conduit road. Now the may
or and sheriff of the little town
have become incensed at the pres
ident violating the local laws and
they say that though they can
not arrest a diplomat, that there
in no law against stopping him
and warning him about the law.
This is just what the diplomats
object to. They say it is humilia
ting. But sheriff Collins Bays there
is nothing to distinguish an am
bassador or a minister from any
body else under a bear skin coat
and a pair of goggles, so he pro
poses to stop every foreign en
voy and make him establish his
identity or else carry a flog or
some other distinguishing mark
on his machine. The whole corps
diplomatique declares it is an
outrnge. The State Department
says it cannot do anything about
it and up to date it looks as tho'
the mayor and sheriff had scor
ed. '
There has been a good deal of
graft and rake off in the purchase
of the supplies for the Panama
Canal, and it appears now that
the whole of buying is to be ta
ken over by the army which will
handle practically all 'the pur
chases for the work and the men.
The purchases of machinery and
material for the work are to be
made by the chief of engineers,
those pf medicines by the surgeon
general' office and those of com
missary material by the commis
sary general's office. There is one
thing to be said about the new
scheme and that is that the offi
cers in charge of these depart
ments are about as nearly incor
ruptible as human beings can be
and there is not likely tobemucti
more talk of graft.
Accounts are being cast up at
the end of the fiscal year and it
is found that the expenses of the
President for travelinghave been
almost ridiculously small. There
was qn appropriation of f 25,000
made for this purpose by the last
consress and there was some
talk about its not being large
enough. The railroads which
had been furnishinc: presidential
special trains had been spending
m'onevlike water and going to
extravagant lengths. The Presi
dent likes comfort but does not
care for luxuries, and since he has
beeu paying his own way with
government money he, has cut
everything down to very plain
first class accomodations. The
result is that.the total traveling
expenditure comes inside of $3,
000 nnrl about two .thirds of the
appropriation will be turned
back into the Treasury.
Remarkable Rescue.
That truth is stranger than fiction
has once more been demonstrated in
the little. tpwn of FedoraTenn.,the
residenceof . V. Pepper'. He writes
"1 was in bed, entirely disabled with
hemorrhages of tbe lungs and throiit.

A Trip to th Exposition.
(Continued from the 6th. )
At the close of my last article
we had just entered the Exposi
tion grounds. Our party was con
siderably augmented by the addi
tion of Messrs John Shepherd,
W. 0. Garris, Mr. Young, the
hat man. known by all merchants
of Watauga, his wife and five
children, also a Mr. Harman, of
Beech Creek, making a party of
thirteen.
On entering the grounds we
take a seat on the "Lee Parade
Grounds," a flue level grassy plot
of. several acres where soldiers
are daily drilled during the Ex
position. We are just in time to
see them at the morning drill.
Their movements were fine, seem
ed almost perfect. We decide that
if war did not reach a more seri
ous stage than this we would
make pretty good fighters. After
taking in the drill we proceeded
to make a tour of the grounds.
We soon discover that the Ex
position lacks a great deal of be
ing completed. Carpenters and
masons are busy everywhere.
There are a great many build
ings not yet completed, also
nnite an amount of work in the
way of pavements and beatifying
1
the erounds vet to do. Great
piles of lumber and debris are ly
inir on every side. Yet there is
much to be seen,
much that is
completed.
. The government buildings,
believe, are all complete and their
exhibits installed. We make
pretty "straight circle" to the
water frontthe famous Hamp
ton Roads. There has been built
a broad plank walk on the water
edge the entire length of the , Ex
position's water frontage.
Here we sit down to view the
many things of interest that lie
before us. The most interesting
Rpene that meets our eve. in fact
the thing we most desired to see
lies in full view Uncle Sam's
great grinning.Jsnarling war dogs
and a number of war ships from
other nations. There were per
haps, thirty war ships lying at
anchor, a number of ships of oth
er nations having left, some for
New York, some for Washington
and some had gone to .other
points for target practice. We
had the pleasure of seeing such
ships as the famous Oregon, Ala
bama, etc. Our ships are nearly
all white, which, to one knowing
nothing1 of naval warfare, wolftd
be a disadvatage as they are
more easily seen by the enemy
unless it be on a foaming sea,
however I did not make any sug
gestions alone: this line.
Brazil has some good looking
ships lying close by ours. Japan s
ships are nearly all away at thia
time onlv temporarily I think.
. i
There were but Jew of the wur
ships that had fire hvtheir furna
ces. unceauu awnue you cuuiu
soe great clouds of black smoke
rise slowlv from a shin, then Bui
awav to some other port, une o.
those war ships, under steam,
plowing the foaming waters, is,
indeed, a fine sight.
Two nights before we arrived
there was one of the finest dis
plays in Hampton Roads that
-has ever been said in any waters;
so said by those in position to
kuow
All the warships in the Road
American and foreign, were drawn
inline and illuminated by elec
tricity, the light on the ships ap
peared to be only a few inches a
part, which made each shipiooic
like a huge ball of fire. The great
se.irch lights were turned on the
fla.rsof the ships which caused
them to appear to be great
! flames of fire high in the air.
War is much in evidence at the
Exposition; more than has ever
beeninanv other of our Expo
sitions, owing to the fact, that '
this is largely a historic Kxposi-
tion.
The next thing of interest to
us is the great rolling 0cean;that
lies at our feet. "Restless and
never still." For the first time in
life we understand such Biblical
expressions. As "Unstable as
water," and "as the sand that is
by the sea-shore."
Having restedlnicelyweprocecd
down or up the great plank walk
taking in anything that falls
under our vision. We first pass
a great tower, not yet completed.
that appears to be 100 or 151
r, hio-h. built of wood frame
work and when completed will
-
be filled with huge blocks of coal
rom Virginia, so that it will look
ike a solid tower of coal. Some of
the blocks are about 8x4x4. We
pass on next by the "Inside Inn,'
a hotel that is capable of accom
odating 3,000 guests, consluco-
ed on tiie European plan, you
order what vou want. The dining
ball is an open portico. You en-
oy the seabreeze while you eat.
We take in the Kentucky Build
ing, which is located in ine ex
trptne northern corner 'of the;
mminilu Tf. ia n. rpnresentatic n
VI11IUCI AV .w M
of "Boonsboro," Daniel Boonr s
home in Kentucky. It consists of
five buildings made of round pine
ogs, "chinked" but not dobed.
The logs were shipped from Ky.
The largest building is in the
center of the ground and has two
room 8 with a large open space
between, floored and covered.
Each of these roCmshave a large
chimney at the end made of logs.
The fire places are very large,
with a great pile of logs in them
slightly burned. In one of the
rooms is a very large old-fashion
ed-stead, posts turned, with a
bed on it, a table in the center
with a spread that looks like the
old fashioned woven coverlets.
The other room has a rng carpet
also the old gun and horn in its
usual place, a large painting of
Boone, said by the lady in charge
to be the second best ever paint
ed. On either corner of the lot is
a two story building of the same
construction, with the second
story projecting over the first
about two feet. The "up ladder"
is the sleeping apartment. The
old well with the old well sweep
is in the yard. The curbing is
raada of round logs set on the
end in the ground. The well is a-
bout "knee deep to a duck." You
.ill'
can reach uown into tne wen,
turn a faucet and get agood cold
drink of water. This plot is loca
ted in a very densegrove of pines
and enclosed by a palisade of
slabs aboat three feet high. They
are built lower than Boone had
them so that visitors can see
over them.
This is indeed a cozy corner
After reeordintr our names as
visitors to the Kentucky build
ing, we pull on.
