McCreary Served With Distinction
During the War.
FIGHTING UNDER THE STARS AND BARS
In 1866 He Entered Kentucky Politics and Has

natorial Chair ard in
Congress.
(By the Associated
Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 9.—Standing in the
rostrum of the old hall of Representa
tives of the Kentucky capitol, where
nearly thirty years ago' he began his
public career, James B. McCreary to
night accepted the nomination of the
Democratic party to succeed William J.
Deboe in the Senate of the United States, j
He received the nomination by a vote of
v sixty-two to thirty-seven over Circuit
Judge James B. Cantrill, of Scott county, j
nearly two thirds of th% Democratic i
members. He will be elected by the |
General Assembly in joint session on
Tuesday of next week over Senator
Deboe, who was endorsed by his party for
re-election.
The Democratic caucus tonight was
harmonious throughout, the only sur- j
prise being that occasioned several hours
before it convened, by the withdrawal of
Charles K. Wheeler and Congressman
David H. Smith, who have been in the
contest for the past year. They with
drew only when it became apparent that
McCreary would be nominated, and
Judge Cantrill remained in the race only
to receive a complimentary vote.
A special committee notified the nomi
nee of the action of the caucus. He ac
cepted the nomination in a Tow words j
and pledged himself to his constituents
and to his country.
For forty years James B. McCreary
has been prominent in Kentucky’s his
tory. He first came into notice in 1862,
when he assisted in raising the Eleventh
Cavalry regiment for the Kentucky ser
vice, C. S. A. In this regiment he subse
quently was made lieutenant colonel, a
rank he held at the close of the war.
He served with distinction in the army
of the Tennessee under Generals Morgan
and Bragg and under Breckinridge in
Virginia, and surrendered with his regi
in 1566, being
chosen to represent Madison county in
the Kentucky legislature.
In 1875 he was elected Governor on the
Democratic ticket.
After retiring from the executive office
he was elected to the Forty-pinth Con
gress and re-elected to the Fiftieth.
Fifty-first, Fifty-second, Fiftty-third
and Fifty-fourth Congresses.
For twelve years he was a member of
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
He was also a member of the Committee
on Coinage and Weights and Measures
and the World’s Fair and Private Land
Claims.
, Governor McCreary was appointed by
tpe President of the United States in
1892, one of the five commissioners to
represent the United States in the Inter
national Monetary Conference. In that
conference he distinguished himself as
an advocate of bi-metallism.
Investigating Grain Bales
(By the Associated Press.)
Kansas City, Jan. 9.—The Inter-State
Commerce Commissioners examined' seven
witnesses today regarding grain rates
from Western points to the Atlantic sea
toard .and other Eastern destinations.
They returned to Chicago tonight, after
announcing that the investigation would
be resumed in that city January 24. when
it is believed several big railway officials
will be called.
The expected rush of railroad officials
and grain shippers today to confess they
had .made and received freight rebates
or cut rates did not occur. In fact what
information was elicited was obtained
only after persistent questioning on the
part of the commissioners. The most
direct admission was that of John A.
Robinson, of the firm of Hall & Robinson,
of Kansas City, which Is said to control
the export grain business of the Mis
souri Pacific. Mr. Robinson admitted that
W. D. Stith, freight traffic manager of
the Missouri Pacific, made him a rate on
export grain from three to five cents per
hundred lower than the published export
tariff. Other testimony went to show
that Kansas City was made to suffer
from discrimination by through lines be
cause of the arbitrary rate on grain in
anTxploiion.

LEGAL PHASES OF SCHLEY CASE.
The Attorney General is Considering Whether
all Legal Forms Were Complied With
(Fly the Associated Press.)
Washington, Jan. 9. —The Post tomor
row will say:
’’The case of Rear Admiral Schley is
now being considered by the Attorney
General for the purpose of discovering
whether there was any illegality in con
nection with the Court of Inquiry. It is
understood that at the recent conference
between the President and Rear Admiral
Schley, the latter pointed out acme al
leged violations of law in regard to ..ho
court, and these matters have been
deemed worthy of examination.
“Th,e Attorney General is not to pass
upon the meris of the case, hut will deal
solely with its legal phase. If he shall
find that the court was properly consti
tuted, that the precept was legally
drawn, and that the rules of law wore
followed as to the evidence, it will Ihen
be within the province of President to
consider the case upon its merits. If the
Attorney General decides that vliere
'were illegalities, as claimed by Admiral
Schley, the verdict of the court would
be vitiated- It is understood that Ad
miral Schley’s future course concerning
a formaP-appeal in writing to the Presi
dent will depend very largely upon the
decision of the Attorney General.”

But His Servant.
HIS SUBJECT IS THE PATRIOT IN PEACE
The Bodies of Boer Dead Hjve Built a Bulwark
Behind Which Lovers of Liberty Will
Fight For Centuries to
Come.
(B ythe Associated Press.)
Boston, Jan. 9. —William J. Bryan ar
rived in Boston this afternoon from New
Haven to be the guest of the Common
wealth Club. He was accompanied from
Providence by two delegates or the club
and was met at South Station by a com
mittee of the members and escorted to
the Quincy House. The Reception Com
mittee included President George F.
Washburn, of the club; Alexander B.
Eruce, former candidate for governor on
the Democratic ticket, and Robert Treat
Payne, Jr., of Boston.
A big crowd was at the station to see
the distinguished visitor, and when he
stepped from the train and passed along
the platform he was loudly cheerd. He
was reognized on the street and heartily
greeted.
At 6 30 o'clock Mr. Bryan held a recep
tion at the Quincy and many men of polit
ical and business prominence paid him
their respects.
Following the reception a banquet was
served to the company and Mr. Bryan
was again the central figure.
In assuming the toastmaster’s chair,
President Washburn read a number of re
plies to invitations extended to men of
prominence. Among them were brief let
ters from Governor Crane, Admiral
Dewey, Lieutenant General Miles and
Rear Admiral W. S. Schley (retired) all
regretting that other engagements pre
vented their attendance.
In welcoming Mr. Bryan and the other
guests, President Washburn explained the
objects of the organization which was
formerly called the Bryan Club. He said
that its love and respect for Mr. Bryan
had not changed, but as the Common
wealth Club its purpose is to continue
an active progressive force in municipal,
State and National affairs. He continued:
“Viewed from the-standpoint of physi
cal and mental endurances, Mr. Bryan’s
experience in two great Presidential
campaigns and the interval between,
r.tanda out as a marvel in the political
history of the ’republic.”
Mr. Bryan’s subject was “The Patriot
it: Peace,” and when he was introduced
everyone arose and cheered. He said:
“I have confidence that in our political
battles of the future we shall fight them
on a higher plane than in the past. The
Spanish war taught us the lesson that
there is a patriotism in the nation suf
ficient for any time of need, and that
there is no portion of a political party
that does not have at heart the nation's
welfare. There is but one basis upon
which peace can be built and that is
justice. I have not been able to find
a definition of patriotism that satisfies
me. To me it is that love of country
which leads a man to give his country
that which his country needs at the time
it needs it, I regard the duties of peace
as imperative as the duties of war.
“It is an enlightened selfishness which
leads a man to do for his country that
which he feels is to do himslf good in
the end.
“What the American people need today
in that form of patriotism that will lead
them to study and understand the prob
lems of government and will give them
the moral courage* to do what they be
lieve to be right, no matter what the
consequences may be.
“Moral courage is rarer than physical
courage and as important, if not more
so. We need the moral courage that will
lead us to rebuke our party when it is
wrong; the intelligence that will teach
a man that his party is not his master
but his servant. I believe this country
would be bette: if the men in public life
had the moral courage to dissent, as did
Senator Hoar when his conscience leads
him away from his party.
“No human being can tell the effect of
a single word or action. In history, al
ready, we can trace the development of
small causes into great results. No one
can measure the influence we can exert
in a righteous cause. The valor of the
Beers in South Africa has already made
more secure every republic on earth and
the bodies of their dead have built a
bulwark behind which the lovers of lib
erty will fight for centuries to come.
“Every time there is a struggle be
tween right and w*rong, the death of those
who struggle for the right blossoms forth
into the blessings from those who come
after them. It is the duty of the patriot
in peace to fight the battles of peace and
win the victories of peace no less re
nowned than the victories of war.”

»THE JUDICIARY ORDINANCE
Its Adoption by the Convention Bright Out
look for Settling Buff rage Question.
(By the Associated PrCjSS.)
Richmond, Va.. Jan. 9. —The Constitu
tional Convention today took a final vote
on the judiciary ordinance of the Con
stitution and it was adopted as a whole
and referred to the Committee on Final
Revision. There was two hours filibus
tering to prevent getting a vote on elec
tion of Supreme Court judges by the peo
ple and it was successful. The commit
tee of the whole adopted the section
fixing appropriations to the university,
adopted an amendment, adding the Vir
ginia Military Institute, and voted down
all other amendments.
The outlook 'for a speedy settlement
of the suffrage question seems to be
growing brighter. Alter wrangling foi*
nearly two hours last night, the Demo
cratic conference determined to meet each
night except Saturday nights, and con
sider the several propositions, as in
committee of the whole, until some con
clusion shall be reached by ihe Demo
cratic members of the, convention.
The most significant thing done, save
that noted above, was the announcement
by Attorney General Anderson on the
part of the minority of the Suffrage Com
mittee that they had determined to with
draw their plan and offer that of Senator
Glass as a substitute for that of the
majority. This brings the fight in the
conference down to one between the two
plans mentioned above and amendments
will be offered with the view of perfect
ing them and then the vote will be ta
ken.

Value of Our Mineral Products.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Jan. 9.—The value of tho
mineral products of the United States
in 1900 exceeded for the first time th’e
billion dollar mark according to the
Geological Survey report on mineral re
sources which has just been issued. The
exact figures were 51,067,603,606, as com
pared with $971,900,894 in 1899, a gain of
$95,702,712 or 9.85 per cent. Iron and coal
alone yielded more than half of the grand
total, their combined value being over
$666,000,000.
The total value at the mines of the 27.- '
553,161 tons of iron ore produced in 1900
was $66;590,504 as compared with $34,999,- j
077 in 1899, a gain of 90.26 per cent. The
average price was $2.42 per long ton, as
compared with $1.42 per ton in 1899, a
gain of 70.1 per cent.
In 1899 the production of coal in the
United States exceeded for the first time
that of Great Britain; in 1900 the lead
over Great Britain was much increased,
thus fixing the United States firmly in the
first place among the world’s producers. ,
Next to this the most interesting sea- ;
ture of the production of 1900 was the '
marked increase in value compared with
the increase in tonnage. The production
in 1900 was 269,881,827 short tons, valued
at $306,891,364, the increase over 1899 be- !
iug more than 16,000,000 tons in amount
and more than $50,000,000 in value. The
advance in value of bituminous coal was
unprecedented, the avrage price per ton
having risen from 87 cents in 1899 to $1.04
in 1900.
Fully 95 per cent of the total coke pro
duction in 1900 of 20,533,348 short tons, an
increase of 864,779 tons over 1899, was
taken from the Appalachian fieids, which .
embrace the great coking regions of Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Alabama, Vir- j
ginia and Tennessee.

TO FIX THE BLAME
Jerome Begins Inquiry into
the New York Central
Tunnel Disaster,
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Jan. 9-—District Attorney
Jerome began an inquiry into the tun
nel disaster today. A number of wit
nesses were examined, including the
trainmen on the wrecked trains and Di
vision Superintendent Franklin. They
all refused to discuss their testimony.
At the conclusion of the investigation
District Attorney Jerome announced that
as far as the evidence which is to be
submitted to the coroner at the inquest
is concerned, the investigation has prac
tically been concluded, lie added, how
ever, that the investigation will be car
ried on for some, time yet and some
more witnesses will be examined this
week. He declined to comment on the
evidence. He admitted that the present
grand jury may be asked to act in the
matter. All the evidence went to -how
that the engineer was a careful man and
of good reputation, both as a citizen and
an employe. It was learned, Ahoueh,
that Wischow passed his examination as
engineer only last August, before that he
was a fireman. Os late he had been act
ing as engineer at intervals. Wischow
was said to be in a state of nervous col
lapse in prison today. His wife visiced
him during the day.
District Attorney Jerome said he wish
ed his investigation to be as thorough
as possible, and that he would conter
with Coroner Scholer to that end.
' It is possible,” said Mr. Jerome, “that
the engineer only was at fault. It is also
possible that the railway, company did
not provide the engineer with the device
known to the knowledge of men in rail
road affairs. If there was a duty im
posed upon any person, did that person
do it ? If he did not, no matter who he
is, he shall be punished.
In New Rochelle, where all but one of
tlie dead lived, business was almost en
tirely suspended today. Os those hurt
twenty-nine lived in New Rochelle, and
numbers of their relatives spent the
niftht in New York near the hospital.
Today several of the bodies of the (load
were taken to New Rochelle. The town
was in mourning and many persons who
had no relatives ih the wreck made vis
its to those who had suffered loss and
offered sympathy and assistance.
THE PL ANB TO’.BK CHANGED.
Bids For Building at Methodist Orphanage
Were Excessive-
The bids on the plans for the construc
tion of the central building at the Meth
odist Orphanage were all in excess of the
amount tgreed to pay for the building.
The result is that the contract will not
be let for the construction of the build
ing until the plans are altered-
A $25,0000 building is to be constructed
and the bids ran all the way from $35,000
to $46,000.
The plans call for a really larger build
ing than was needed. It has been de
cided to cut down the plans in size, but
at the same time preserve the architec
tural design. The building will be on
the same handsome design when the
plans are reduced. The building will be
a handsome $25,000 affair.

rate of interest.
At the meeting yesterday . the South
Dakota Rond suit was discussed along

of the Road be authorized to employ
counsel to assist in the State’s defense
of the suit and protect the interests of
the road. It was agreed that if occasion
should arise necessitating the employ
ment of counsel the president could call
the directors together for such action as
might be required.
