Stands by Those Who Voted for Him
- Chicago, July 31.- Judge Owen P
Thompson;, of Jackson, Ills., announc
ed this afternoon th'at in a letter dated
July 17, J William .J. Bryan requested
that Judge Thompson call upon Mr.
Roger Sullivan, with a message from
Mr. Bryan requesting that Mr. Sulli
van, in bie interest of harmony, at
once resign as National committeeman
from Illinois. Judge Thompson says
he saw Mr. Sullivan today, and deliver
ed Mr. Bryan's message. Mr. Sullivan
declined to resign as requested. Judge
Thompson thereupon made public a
letter from Mr. Bryan declaring that
National Committeeman Sullivan holds
the office by a fraud and that it is im
possible for honest democrats to as-
sociate With Mr. "Sullivan; as a mem
ber of the national committee.
Mr. Brian's letter is as follows:
.: "We are, approaching another na
tional campaign, and our party's
cllances depend upon, its ability to
convince the public of its good inten
tions. 'Mr. Sullivan's presence on the
committee contradicts all that we can
say in the party's behalf. His corpor
ate connections would harm the party
far boyond his power to aid the organ
ization, but this could be left for some
future convention to deal with if he
were actually the choice of the demo
crats. The fact however, that he holds
his office by a. fraud, and against1 the
expressed washes of a majority of the
delegates to the state convention, make
it impossible for honest democrats to
associate 'with him as a member of the
committee. If we do not maintain
the right of the majority to control
party, policy, and select ; the party's
representatives, for what can we con
tend. I jam sorry that your convent
tion meets before I return, for I would
be glad to come to Illinois to give you .
any assistance within my power. I
have . avoided taking part in personal
contests jwithin the party but when !
any one who calls himself a democrat
assaults the rights of the party I do
not bestitate to take part in the fight.
I had hoped that he would resign in
the interests of harmony, but his re
. fusai leaves us no choice but to repu
diate him or abandon democratic prin
ciple." .. r . . .
Mr. Sulllyan in replying to Mr. Bry
an's letter gave out the following state
ment tonight: ;
"Mr. Bryan says I hold my seat on
. the democratic national committee by
fraud. That seat came to me by virtue
of a votej of 49 to 5 in my favor. It is
pne to which a democratic national
committee declared I Was entitled. If
I am unfit to associate with honest
democrats, as Mr. Bryan says, .then
men. who stood by me are also, and
surely Mr. Bryan cannot accept a nom
ination which must come, if come it
does, from the men who decided that
I was fit and that Dunlap Thompson
and the Jacksonville convention were
not only ! unfit,, but had lied, slandered
and villified, not myself alone, but the
majority of the delegates who sat in
the Springfield , convention of 1904, and
by virtue of whose votes I hold' my
office. j . '-' ' -' .
"If even I were willing to resign as
requested, I could not so under present
conditions. If I did after the charges
which Mr? Bryan makes, I would be
declaring not only that I was guilty of
fraud,; but that three-fourths of tlo
democratic leaders in the country were
equally guilty."

AX ADDRESS BY BISHOP GAINES
Christian and Educational Congress in
Session in Washington First Days
Session Devoted to Speech Making.
Secretary Bonaparte Speaks on the
Future of the Negro Race in Amer

Thursday or Friday. g
Washington, July 31. The negro
Young Peoples Christian and Educa
tional congress, having for its object
the educational and moral uplifting of
the race began a five days session in
this cjty today. Several thousand del
egates are in j attendance, representing
every state in the union, and some
have come from foreign lands. The
first day's session was devoted to ad
dress of welcome and "speech-making,
Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, D. D., of At
lanta, and Secretary of the Navy Bon
aparte being the principal speakers. .
Booker T. Washington is expected
Thursday or. Friday.
The meeting opened
voices singing, and was
prayer by Rev. M. W.
with 1,00Q
followed by
Waldron of
Jacksonville, Fla. ; In his quadren
nial address Bishop Gaines, who pre
sided over the congress, spoke of the
fact that the Unegro race had been
brought through many difficulties and
trials since .the last meeting in Atlan
ta four years ago. !
"We have stood almost on the brink
of despair,", he said, "but I thank God
that in the darkest hour we have been
able to gather courage and stand firm
in the hope of a : future of better un
derstandings and better days." In
spite jpf obstacles, he said, the race had
tnaue progress even in four short
years. "In forty one years of freedom
our people have accumulated about
two billion dollars worth of property
and we have advanced so that more
than 50 per cent of our people can read
end write." Taking up he question
of the attitude of the whites toward the
negroes Bishop Gaines said: .
- "We have had to subnui to the awful
humiliation arising from separate car
laws on both railroads and trolley
lines, but we must not be discouraged.
The mob laws, hangings and the
burning at .the stake of negroes in
many southern states, though most
terrible to reflect upon, must not dark
en our minds so that we despair. I
have said we have made great pro
gress, though wetiave still a great bur-
den of ignorance, of lawlessness to
carry and to endeavor to destroy as we
move forward. Yet I find f can thank
God that though we have so many
enemies, we are not without friends. 1
must say , that we could not stay in this
country if it were not for our white
friends and their strength of charac
ter." ; .;- ' I :
Bishop Gaines then ' specifically
named as avowed enemies of the negro
Senator Tillman of South Carolina;
Govenor Vardaman of Mississippi;
Governor Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas,
and Thomas Dixon. He .added that
John Temple Graves could be counted
among them "as the most dangerous
of the group, because he is the most
highly educated." He said that in an
editorial in the Atlanta Georgian of
May 10, Mr. Graves had referred to the
African negro as a helpless barbarian.
Secretarv Bonaparte was then intro-
rduced and spoke on the future' of the
negro race in America. He said tnai
the part the negro would play in civi
lization was a question no less difficult
than interesting. He did not intend to
be a prophet and doubted very much
whether anybody could now give more
than a crude. conjecture aboutwhat the
"fates" have in store for the race and
for the country through it. The man
who spoke with assurance about such
a matter, he said, is probably not worth
listening to. "The very fact that he
thinks he knows all about it is proof
thaV he knows nothing,'" added.
Secretary Bonaparte declared that
the negro race was the only one which
ever has been able to live with white
people, v ... '.' - .' i I

the
Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 31.-Senator
Charles Dick, of Ohio, and Elmer Do
ver, secretary of the republican nation
al committee, made a joint, pilgrimage
to Sagamore Hill today. President
Roosevelt discussed with them for two
hoursthe political situation in Ohio.
Aside from the advantages of the dis
cussion the simple fact that Dick was
a guest at Sagamore mil and came
away with a desire for harmony in the
coming congressional campaign is re
gardedas encouraging. It has been
said in Ohio that Senators Foraker and
Dick did not stand for the Roosevelt
administration and this report bid fair
to cause at least a degree of trouble.
It has now been "nailed to the mast"
if these words from Senator Dick have
meaning. "It is safe to make one pre
diction that President Roosevelt's ad-4
ministration and the work of con
gress will receive sincere and'Pnthnsi
astic endorsement in4Qirftyeblf-iT:
can platform." "as indicating the part
President Roosevelt took in the con
ference. Senator Dick said:
"The president is very greatly inter
ested in the result of the congressional
election and he does not hesitate to say
so, rightfully, he feels that he has in
augurated policies which he is hopeful
of concluding successfully. This can
only be accomplished with the help of
a republican majority mthe sixtieth
congress. The president is ready to "do
all he can to bring about a republican
victory in the coming campaign. This
does not mean that he is going on the
stujnp, he could not do that, it does
jiot necessarily mean that he is to
mingle in local conferences but he will
have a keen general interest in the re
sult and will aid in all. possible ways."
Besides this strong endorsement of
the president with which the Ohio
platform is to, be featured there is to
be a "stand pat" declaration regarding
the tariff.' General Dick expressed
himself freely on this point. "It would
be practically impossible for the six
tieth congress to reverse the tariff," he
remarked, "besides, it; would be decidv
edly mad political sense. There haf
never been an exception to the occur
rence that when a political party in
control of congress undertook to re
verse the tariff two years preceding a
national election it failed to elect its
candidates in that election. The re
publican party, he said, would go be
fore" the people pointing to its record
with pride.

Both the first and second divisions'

the weather turned foggy, and orders
were signalled to reduce the speed to
five knots, and keep the ships 400

curred, the first division ships were
well into Newport harbor, while the
second was southeast of the light ship.
In the thick fog, the Alabama and Illi

Helsingford, August 1. 1:40 a. m
Sveaborg is entirely in the hands of
the mutineers, who now have in their
possession every kind of armament.
Horrible scenes occurred during last
night when the fierce fighting was
continued. The heaviest artillery was
used during the conflict.
Helsingford, July 31. A gigantic
military conspiracy aiming at the sim
ultaneous capture of Russia's three
great sea fortresses, Cronstandt, Sea-
bastopol and Sveaborg, arranged by the
revolutionary military league, was
prematurely sprung here last night in
an attempt to arrest members of a
company of Sappers who had mutinied
on account of the death of one of their
comrades, alleged to have been due
to ill-treatment. The entire garrison
of the fortress at Sveaborg flamed out
nstantly In revolt. All the artillery-1
men and. Sappers garrisoning the place
were involved. Onlv four companies
of infantrymen remained loyal. The
mutineers seized forty machine guns,
and practically all the quick firers and
light artillery in the fortress, but even
with this aid they were unable to hold
the main fort against the loyal Infan
try. The fighting continued all night
ong., The heaviest firing was heard
from ten o'clock in the evening until
one in the morning.
This morning, a detachment of civil-
an revolutionaries seized the marine
barracks on Skattudden Island, hoist
ed the red flag, and were Joined by all
the marines. Nine cruisers, torpedo
boats and destroyers lying in the har
bor opened fire on the barracks. This
fire was answered from the third story
windows of the barracks with machine
guns and rifles; .
The torpedo boats and destroyers,
which were lying closer to the shore
were subjected to such a hot fire from
the barracks that their crews were
driven below decks. They finally
steamed out and joined in the bom
bardment with the cruisers. This sea
attack was in co-operation wrlth attacks
by Cossacks and infantry from the
land side which began at 9 o clock In
the mprning and continued through
the whole day.
Finally towards evening the firing
ceased and the. authorities announced
that the barracks had been captured.
At once the Cossacks, cleared the
square in front of the palace racing
Sveaborg, and then drove the public
from the entire water front for the
purpose of preventing the sending of
assistance f rom the city to Sveaborg.
The exact situation at Sveaborg Is not
known. Rumors are In - circulation
that the entire fortress has now fallen
into the hands of the Insurgents, but
they lack confirmation. It" is believed
that this 'cessation of fighting Is but
a prelude to the renewal of the battle
between the mutineers and the gov
ernment forces.
An authoritative estimate of the kill
ed and wounded can not be obtained
but the casualties on both sides, must
be heavy.
There are various rumors to be
heard regarding the fate of the4offi-
one rumor almdst all the officers, and
according to another almost all the
junior officers, side with the mutineers.
The marines at Skattudden are said
to hdve convened an elective court ;

Interstate Commission Meets
With Railroad Official. -
WILL CARRY OUT TERMS OF ACT
Rallroad Men Desired to Arrive at
Some Understanding as to the Rest
Way to 3Ieet the Requirements.
They Ask for a Broad Construction
on Parts of the Act Three General
Requests Made of the Commission.
Washington, July 31. An important
informal conference between the Inter
state Commerce Commission and rep
resentatives of the Western Trunk Line
Association and the traffic officials of
various southern and southeastern rail
roads took place here today. Jt related
to the construction to be placed by the
commission on tne recently enacted rail
road rate law. While no conclusions
were reached both the railroad, men
and the commission regard the. con
ference as profitable because it has
brought them into touch, as to the
various phases of the law and will'
enable each the . 'better to understand
the uosition of the other. Chairman
Knapp and Commissioners Clements
and Cockrell were in attendance on the
conference, while the railroads were
represented by sixty four of the most
important freight and passenger traffic
officials of the lines interested. Among
them 'being J. M, Gulp, of the Southern
railway and Darins Miller, of the Chic
ago, Burlington and Qulncy.
At the outset the railroad officials
made clear their intention to comply
with the hew law -without unnecessary
bickering. They desired, however, to
arrive at some understanding with the
interstate commerce commission as to
thm best way to meet the requirements
of the law and of the commission. They
pointed out that in some instances the
technical compliance with the law -
would be futile and they asked the
commission , to assist them by placing
a broad construction on parts of the ,
act.
In brief the railroads made three
general requests of the commission.
Firsts that a reasonable extension of
time be given them to prepare and
publish and file with the commission
their new , tariff schedules under the
law. In this connection they asked
also that the book containing the rates
might 'be left with each station agent
instead of being posted at the .station.
iSecond, that the requirements of a
notice of 2b days in changes be elimi
nated, particularly as to import and
export traffic. It was pointed, out that
often these Tates had to be changed
within a few hours to meet the exigen
cies of occasion . transportation and
that it practically would be impossible .
to anticipate these changes even by
one day, not to mention thirty days.
Third, that the railroads be relieved -from
the publication of terminal rates
at points of destination and allowed to
publish' them only at the point where
the changes originate. This would make
no difference in the rates themselves
but would be a matter of convenience
to the roads. The passenger traffic of
ficials requested the commission! not to
insist upon the filing of new rates at
this time, as their rates under the new
law would be precisely the same, for
a time at least, as they are now and the
present rates on file with the commis
sion. The conference will be continued
tomorrow.
' PROGRESS OF HARTJE TRIAJj
Attorneys for Hartje Unexpectedly
Close Their Case Vigorous"lle marks
From -the Bencli Otlier Witnesses
on the Stand.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 31. Attorneys
for Augustus Hartje who is seeking a
divorce from his wife, Mrs. Mary Scott
Hartje, somewhat unexpectedly closed
their case today.
Attorneys for Mrs. Hartje asked for
and obtained an adjournment until to
morrow morning to prepare their pleas
for putting evidence for rebuttal.
The trial was marked today by some
vigorous remarks from the bench to
attorneys for Augustus Hartje when
they sought to explain through detec
tives some discrepancies between the
detective's evidence and that of Andrew
Fisher who became confused yesterday 1
on cross-examination. Judge Robert
S. Frazer allowed the testimony to be
given, but said that it was irregular
and declared that the irregularity that
had been permitted . throughout - the
case would have weight when the court
made its decision.
Members of the city police were call- .
ed to prove that "Tom" Madine had
reported the rifling of his trunk.
Augustus Hartje then took the stand
and denied the charges made by Ma
dine regarding the blonde woman epi
sode, and that he had offered Madine
money to testify that a man was at the
Hartje home alone with Mrs. Hartje,
while Hartje was away. ,Hart je ad
mitted owning a house at which he
was said to "have visited Josephine
Wright. He swore that he did not
know the woman. ' ..- -
Tfie much-disputed Helen Scott let
ters were today- admitted as evidence.
A lengthy and heated argument pre-'
ceded their admission which is regard
ed as a signal victory for the libelant.
These are the letters purporting to be
from Helen Scott to her sister, Mrs.
Hartje which counsel for the libelant
assert prove that Helen was a go-between
for "Tom" Madine, the coach
man co-respondent and Mrs. Hartje.
