BRYAN OR "BUST." Inside Facts Concerning the Jones- Bryan Conferences. I'rritarr on Ilrynn to Onut Allvcld— Jones Film to ICurope for it Rent- Sum Cook In OniiKer—The St. I.ouli T« o ltollnr Din ner. "What will he do next?" is the question of democrats in general, and of Illinois democrats in particular, concerning John P. Altgeld. Democratic leaders of this city and state, and most of those so fre quently to be met here from all parts of the country, are at a loss to know whether Altgeld will stay In the party and hope agajnst hope to retrieve his lost leadership, or whether he will go out and train with the new party which the Joneses and Pin greea are to get up at Buffalo. The im pression of most of them is that Altgeld's desertion would destroy whatever chance of success the democrats might have in the next campaign. Next to Bryan, there is rto man in the democratic party of the present day with so large a following. The \iilloiuil Committee. Events are conspiring to force Altgeld out of the democratic party. There is a story behind the recent visit of Bryan to Senator Jones, the chairman of the na tional democratic committee, which rests upon the fact that the Bryanites are in a large majority in that body, and in a position to dictate its course. Stories have come out of the east to the effect that the anti-Bryanites in the committee have decided to reorganize the committee and putin the place of Senator Jones as chair man somebody who would use the machine against Bryan's renomination. The Bryanites can control more than two thirds of the men now in the committee, and it is the Bryanites who have threat ened to reorganize the committee and leave Senator Jones out of the chair. That is as near as the eastern story has got to the truth of the situation in the national democratic committee. Immediately after the triumph of Har rison and the elimination of Altgeld in the Chicago municipal campaign, the braves and sachems of the Chicago Tam many began a clamor for either tiie de struction of the committee on ways and means, of which Altgeld is a member, or Altgeld's removal from that committee. Tom Gahan. a power behind the Harrison throne and the Illinois member of the na tional democratic committee, was a lead er of this demand, which, howevsr. he in spired rather than expressed. Gahan has always resented the appointment of Alt geld in preference to himself as the resi dent member of the committee. He, and the Harrison machine with him. have re garded that act of gross discrimination as being conclusive of Chairman Jones' alli ance with Altgeld against Harrison, and Indirectly against Bryan, Jones and Alt geld serving each other's ends in thi ar rangement. As the committee got to work, and the municipal campaign progressed, it became clearer that the committee was to be used in more ways than one to serve the purposes of 'he men controlling it. Of this more will doubtless be made known in course of time. The official announce ment of the committee's support of Altgeld in the closing days of the struggle was rot, therefore, a surprise to the machine leaders, although they were hardly pie pared for such a bold and defiant avowal of such an unprecedented action in party organization. The demand for radical action came to J'.ryan as the one mcfst interested, as well as the one who had a standing with the national committee, enabling him to bring it to the work of either disbanding the com mittee of ways and m.-ans or getting Alt geld out of it. At first this demand in cluded such a sweeping reorganization as would put Jones out of the chairmanship of the main body, but Bryan, in the con ference where this was proposed, pointed out that it would be unfortunate for the party in accentuating the too general opin ion that it already has more feuds than tt can well carry. He answered the asser tion that Jones would use the committee against him as lie had used it against Har rison with the statement that Jones could In- brought to a realizing sense of bis po sition without going to the extremity of making an open breach, tie had, he said, never failed to maintain friendly personal relations with the national chairman, as he had with Altgeld. It might become nec essary to terminate such relations, but there was no necessity of doing it until it was no longer unavoidable. An interesting piece of inside history is that after Kryan had taken this attitude he was brought to abandon it through rep resentations of how powerful Altgeld might become as a disturber in the ne.'t state convention and the next national democratic convention if he is left in a position of authority in the party organi zation and work. Once out of all official or prominent personal connection with the national committee, the machine leaders said to l'ryan, Altgeld would become a quantity easy to deal with. If left in such connections he might even unseat a Bryan delegation from Illinois. Ilrynn GoeN to Jones. Bryan has been long convinced of the loyalty of Harrison and his men. With a few other men, thoroughly conversant with democratic politics, he felt that the defeat of Harrison would be a calamity to him. The sense of personal obligation he f>-It to the machine, added to the representations of what a menace to the Bryan programme Altgeld might become if left in prominent position, brought him to the point of un dertaking to at least get assurances from Chairman Joins that neither the national democratic committee nor the ways and mi-ans eommlttee, of which Altgeld is a part, should lie used against him or again* l , his friends, for a large part of the Har rison dread is that the ghost of Altgeld will appear on the Illinois hustings next year as an Independent candidate for gov ernor. Bryan appears not to have liked overmuch this attitude of tentative hos tility to Altgeld, but he was given to un derstand, and certainly hail ev< ry reason to believe, that Altgeld had abandoned him. It is understood here that Jones denied, when the complaints of Gahan and tin other Chicago democrats were made known to him through Bryan, that the ways and means committee had been or ganized for or against any candidate or candidates, and insisted that if it had been so used it was without any authority of his. This admission Bryan is understood to have used as an argument for the re organization of tlii' committee, on a oasis of an entirely new membership, at bast as to those members over whose appoint ment or removal any friction has arisen. He made an emphatic protest against the treatment accorded to "Coin" llaj-vey, which, he understood, was administered us a punishment to Harvey for no great'r offense tha?i failing to oppose the nominee of a democratfc convention. Bryan did not insist upon the reappointment of Har vey, but he urged the reorganization of th> committee in a way to remove every source of personal feeling and promote the i nds of party harmony. Jones, who is so far out of toueh with tilings that he was actually expecting, un til the day of election, that 1 iarrison would be defeated, met thi advances of Bryan more patiently than had been expected. Tie- strong position of Bryan in tie party, and in the committee, doubtless appealed to him tnor. strongly after the Chicago election than they did before At the first i»ilervii-w, however, le did not consent to the reorganization plan, and it was not until a Eubserjuer.t intervf.-w, and the dip tomatio assurantft that the reorganisation would be insisted upon, erven If It in volved a reorganization of the national committee, that he was brought tot?* point of conceding any necessity of a Gim:ige. The Bryan calls upon the ator were social in the seris» that they were never acrimonious. But they were very insistent. Theif net result, as it Is viewed here, by machine leaders whose in terest makes thein watchful and well ad vised, is that there is to l>e * reorganiza* tion of the ways and men's committee, which is none the less sure because it may be for a short time delayed. Some of them expect it the week after the chair man sails for Europe for the good of his health. Others rest satisfied with the as surance that it is certainly coming. The Hrjun CnmpHlgn. An anxious figure in all this conspiring of the machine for the reorganization of the ways and means committee is Sam Cook, of Missouri, treasurer of the boodle fund for the purification of politics. Cook appears to have been dazed at the ex tent of the Harrison overflow and the ex tent of the Altgeld elimination. He heard, before the first midnight after the election, that the ways and means committee would be either abolished or reorganized by the friends of Bryan and Harrison. After the election scant courtesy was paid Cook by some of the machinists, who regard him as a "dead one," and, in the first flush of victory, were not averse to telling him so. He has maintained a splendid isolation since the result of the election put Alt geld, who is here regarded as Cook's sponsor as much as Stone, out of the larger calculations of things. In the county cen tral committee rooms, whither he some times comes, Cook is known as "the ger»- tleman from Missouri." That "the gentleman from Missouri" is thoroughly alarmed at the prospect of a reorganization which will leave him out of all connection with the new ways and means committee, is written in his »ir, manner and walk of life. He makes no plea to the machine for mercy, but he cultivates Bryan assiduously. Bryan's first visit here for months, just a few days after the election, was notable for two things. It was the first time he had ever, come to Chicago since his nomination in 1596 without finding Altgeld at the depot. But there, in iieu of Altgeld, was Sam Cook, bobbing about in a small sea of people over whose heads he looked out over the tracks and caught the first view of the anointed. Even then he was cut off from communication with the candi date, beyond the perfunctory handshake, by the machine men who were there with a carriage. And during all of Bryan's stay in the city the fact of Cook's inability to maintain long communication with his ear was marked. The "gentleman from Missouri" is doubt less as well assured as others here that there has been a change in the Bryan meth od. Events in the east and west have conspired to make Bryan confident and aggressive. In every state he lias selected the men upon whom he can rely for lead ership in the line of his interest, and neith er Stone nor Cook Is chosen in Missouri. The anti-trust dinner at St. l>ouis is a peace offering to Bryan. It is a mediation for men who feel themselves out of line with party opinion and want to reinstate I hem selves. At least it is so regarded here. At that function there is to be a pressure brought upon Bryan to prevent the reor ganization of the ways and means commit tee. which would involve the going of Stone KS well as of Cook, and would involve, an one of its further consequences, the de eat of Stone for reelection to the national .-ommittee and the defeat of Cook lor whatever aspirations he may have in Mis souri politics. Doubtless the "gentleman from Mis- souri" will not be as isolated in St. Louis as he has been in Chicago. And doubtless he will make the best possible use of that fact. Hut one misfortune of the St. I.,ouis dinner is that it comes so late in the series tnat Mr. liryan Is already showing signsof indigestion.—Chicago Dispatch in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

KILLED A BANKER. A Nrtt Vork .Man 'lnril. r» an A|fod I »l>tt.ill»( A tl) ill a Hold. New Vork, May 4. —-Alexander Mas terton, a director of the Farmers' Loan nnd Trust Co., and 7" years of age, was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon b.v James X. I'Lumb in the Burlington hotel mi West Thirtieth street. Mas terton ~.is shot five times and died within an hour or two. The murder was premeditated, as evi denced by a statement written in ad vance by Plumb and given out after his arrest. At present the real mo tive for the crime is unknown. Plumb in his statement issued "to the public" and entitled "why I, .1. X. Plumb, shot Alexander Masterton," declared thait he had done the shooting because of a systematic hounding of him by Mas terton. Plumb declared further that Masterton had not only ruined him financially, but had attempted to alien ate the affections of his wife and chil dren and to cause his social downfall. Plumb's statements, one of which was addressed to the press, deal with a period of his career embracing the past ?,'< years, are rambling in many places and conclude with the following: "Xo man has a higher regard for human life than I have. But the just and righteous punishment of Alexander Masterton is decreed by an outraged God and I am simply the humble in strument in his hands, as he has select ed me as his chosen instrument of wrathful vengeance. I have rid the world of a man who was not fit to live, and whose death a thousand times over could never atone for the monstrous wrongs done me." Masterton and Plumb met by agree ment in the Burlington hotel at 1:30 p. in.in the apartments occupied by Manager Cole. They had been there but a short time when five shots were tired in rapid succession. Plumb then came out of the apartment and walked into the reception room, awaiting ar rest. The murderer was taken before Police Captain Price, of whom he is an intimate friend. He was later taken before a magistrate and held. V chambermaid at the Burlington, who was the only one near the room in which the shooting occurred, told the police that she. heard the men in angrv conversation just before she heard the pistol shots. <»uj- of the men. she said, and she was positive it was not Masterton. said in a loud, angrv tone: "I will not be satisfied with that amount." Two shots were fired a moment later and then three more. Plumb came out of the room and said to her: "There is a man in trouble in there." lie then went down stairs and into the reception room, where later he was arrested. Alexander Masterton was a leading resident of Mt. Vernon, where he occu pied a handsome home with his wife and two daughters. He had the man agement of many estates, and was in terested heavily in real estate. He had held a number of public otliees. He was a prominent member of the Ma sonic fraternity and was a popular man in Mt. Vernon. ,1. X.

Startling Statement* viatic by a tiov ermncnt I lieinl*! ua to tlic Kxtent oI Tliin Practice. (liieago. May 4.—According to Dr. 11. W. Wiley, chief chemist ot' the United States department of agriculture, who testified yesterday l>efore the senatorial pure food investigating committee, now in session here, fully 'JO per cent of the articles of food and drink manufac tured and used in this country are frauds. In milk, according to his testimony, the most common practice is the ab straction of the fatty substance in taking away the cream. A common practice among dealers, he said, was the adulteration with water, and in addi tion to this preservatives are used to prevent the liquid from souring. In butter the common way of de frauding the public, according to the testimony, is the substitution of other fats, both animal and vegetable, for the natural fat of the milk. Honey, he said, probably was a more abused ar ticle in 'the line of adulteration than any other. The principal method of adulterating lard is the mixing of vegetable oils with the natural fat of the hog. Probably among all the foods men tioned by Dr. Wiley, none attracted greater attention tli&n the adulteration of coffee, even in the berry. In recent investigations he has found molasses and flour moulded into berries, colored, mixed with the genuine'and sold as high grade coffee. According to Dr. Wiley there is very little pure beer made in this country. Seventy per cent, of the beer is made of some article other than malt. In regard to the extensive use of glucose the witness said that it was not <>l>- jectionable for food purposes, if used in moderation. Very little pure jelly is manufac tured. There is also a great amount of adulteration in the manufacture of vinegar. Dr. Wiley said Vermont maple sugar was manufactured in Dav enport. la.. out of brown sugar and an extract of hickory bark and it was not deleterious. In fact he said, it was impossible for chemists to distinguish the two. The sugar was the same and the natural ether that gave the maple sugar its flavor and the distinctive quality was too small to segregate in analysis. The extract of hickory, he said, was about the same as the maple's in flavor. Olli'r s | .-,0,000,000 for 4 ariipgic'* !»lill* New York.

" 'Edward Atkinson.* "Xo answer was made to this letter except to send an official copy to the postmaster general, who issued instruc tions to the postmaster at San Fran cisco to hold the pamphlets. The spirit ind design of the pamphlets will be indicated by a feiw extracts. In one of them Mr. Atkinson says: 'I w ill ap pend one question to each reader: How much increase of taxation are you will ing to bear and how many of your neighbors' sons are you ready to sacri fice by fever, malaria and venereal dis ease in order to extend the sovereignty of the I'liiteil States over the West In dies and the Philippine islands?' "Again after describing whait he mils ''Pile Hell of War and Its Penal ties,' Mr. Atkinson says: 'Lest others should lie entrapped into enlistment in the regular army or volunteer service in the tropics, it will only be fair and honest on the part of the recruiting otji cers to be putin possession of facts.' Again Mr. Atkinson says: 'The way has already became plain for the youth of the land to avoid disease in the tropics bv refusing to volunteer or enlist in the army or the navy of the United States. The way will be found for the volunteers now held against their will to get their release from un lawful service in any other country than their own after peace is declared.' l, Mr. Atkinson not only speaks thus of and to the soldiers of the Tinted States, but he encourages the Filipinos to insurrection when he says: They have the power to enter into interna tional relations, and they may yet be. recognized and rightly recognized by other powers.'
