SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF Taking for His Text the Statement That He is Being Described as Conservative, Nebraskan Declares That Radical measures Against Private Monopolies Are Necessary . to Save Legitimate Wealth From Odium. " i Trondhjem, Norway, By Cable. William J. Bryan has arrived here to attend the coronation of King Haa- I kon. Mr. Bryan, taking for his text the statement that he was being de scribed as conservative, said: . ' ' I am not responsible for the phrases used in regard to me ; but I am responsible for my position on public questions. That position ought to be well known. ! Take the trust question for instance, as it seems uppermost just now. My po sition is, that private monopoly is in defensible and intolerable. , That was the Democratic platform in 1900 and the plank was incorporated in 1904 and it is the only tenable posi tion. ' ' There is some talk of controll ing the trusts you might as well talk of controlling burglary. We do not say men shall not steal a little bit, or in some particular way, but that they shall not ' steal at all. It is ..so of private monopolies. It is not suf ficient to control or regulate them they must be absolutely and totally destroyed. Corporations should be controlled and regulated, but private monopolies must be exterminated, root and branch. Now you can call that ' a radical . doctrine. Yet it is more conservative to apply this rem edy now than 'to wait until predato ry wealth has by its lawlessness brought odium on legitimate accumu lations. "What used to be called radical is now ealled conservative because people have been investigating. The doctrine has not changed but public sentiment is making progress Mr. and Mrs. Brvan will spend a week in Norway and will then go to England. HAIL THREE FEET DEEP. Terrimce Storm Sweeps Over Por tion of Orange County, Causing Thousands of Dollars Worth of Damage to Crops. Durham, Special. From parties who were in the city today particu lars of a hail storm that did great damage in the northern part of Or ange county Tuesday night were learned. Ihe loss was something fearful, large planters losing every thing. The hail belt was from three quarters to amile in width. The storm did not last more than 15 or 20 minutes. In that length of time thousands of dollars worth of prop erty was destroyed. liln some places," said llr. S. T. Pittard, who Host his entire crop of tobacco, oats, cotton and corn, "the ice was piled three feet deep yesterday morning. This was in ditches, or places where it was rifted." Continuing, he said that yesterday morning one of his neighbors gathered a guano sack full of the hail stones and carried thttn to Hillsboro, a distance of 11 miles. "When he reached Hillsboro," said my informant, "the stones were as large as guinea eggs. This gives you some idea of the size of the stones when they fell, these being gathered after lying on the ground all night." Telling of some of the losers, Mr. Pitta i d said that he lost his entire crop of tobacco, 90,000 hills; all his corn, oats and cotton. Fate Cooper lost from S0,000 to 90,000 hills of tobacco, Joe Hurst from 50,000 to (50,000 hills, Rufus Wilkins 35,000 hills. . John Saterfield, D. L. Wells, William Ellison, Will,Wiight, Chas. Wilson, Mrs. Anderson and numbers of others lost practically their entire crop. All of these parties lost corn, cotton and oats, in addition to the large loss on the tobacco crop. ' The first hail belt was 11 miles north of Hillsboro, near Carr's post office. Here the belt was little more than a half mile wide. At Caldwell, a distance of nine or ten miles, the loss was fearful. The average width of the belt was probably from three quarters to one mile. The storm went intowards the western part of' Person county. One year ago this same section was visited by a fearful hail storm ana wind 'storm and the damage occasion ed to the tobacco "crop was fearful. This year some of those who lost a year ago are again losers, but in most instances the storm belt was a little removed from the old belt and the losers this year ,as a rule, are those who escaped the destruc tive storm a year ago. Mr. Pittard said that he did not know what the farmers in this belt would do. The oat crop is not worth cutting and the corn is left stand ing in many instances without a single blade left on the stalks. China Pays for Missionaries. Paris, By Cable.

Coronation day opened with a glow ing but cold sun shining, making it neccessary to ' wear overcoats and winter clothing.

The King and Queen, after a brief delay in arranging the carriages and cavalry escort, started for the cathe dral, preceded by their suites. A great cheer announced the departure of the royal party. The King and Queen who rode in a closed stage eoach, both wore ermine robes, and were bareheaded. They seemed grave as they drove toward the cathredral The King smiled, however, and salut ed in reply to salutations of the people. When approaching the cathedral their majesties faced half a dozen photographic machines and a score of cameras. The procession moved slowly. Handkerchiefs -and flags waved , but the crowd seemingly was impressed by the coming religious ceremony, and the people generally were silent. Occasionally, however, there was an outbreak of cheers. The royal coach drawn by four handsome bays led by footmen, reach the cathedral at 11: o'clock, where the King and Queen were received by the clergy. When the royal party entered, all present in the cathedral arose and the ceremony -began im mediately. The completion -f the crowning of the King was communicated by two army signallers, from the cathedral to Hill batteries. , The first gun, an nouncing the tidings, boomed forth instantly and then there was a roar of guns from ships and land batter ies and the bells of all city churches began ringing.. The sounds carried the tidings over the city and harbor and the echoes were carried up and down the Fjord. The crowning of Queen Maud commenced immediately afterward. Her Majesty, who is of a naturally timid and retiring disposi tion, barvely faced the ceremony. She looked dainty and attractive. Italy to be Represented. Norfolk, Special. Chairman C.
