BRYAN HAY RUN AGAIN.
Bay Ha Won't Decide Until Tims
Comes to Act.
Ban Antonio, Tex., Nov. 18. In an
swer to the direct question "Will you
run for the presidency again If condi
tions arise to warrant It?" William J.
Bryan said:
"My friends do not require me to
prejudge the future. I shall continue
to write and speak In defense of things
which I believe to be good for th;
American people. I hope It may never
become necessary to run for office
again, but I will not attempt to decide
that question until the time conies to
act. I do not see any necessity to say
more on the subject.
"I am not at all discouraged as to
the future of the Democratic party.
There must be a Democratic party In
every country, and I want our party to,
be Democratic, and I have no doubt
that the country will see the necessity
for the adoption of the reforms advo
cated by the Democratic party. It Is'
already a great educational force, and
I have no doubt that conditions will so
Indicate the party as to make the
voters turn to It as the best instrument
for the accomplishment of the neces
sary reforms."
"Will you allow yourself to be elect
ed United States senator from Ne
braska?" he was asked.
"Nebraska does not elect a senator
this year."

Angry Demonstration In
Court Terrifies Accused.
I1REATS TO MRS. GUNNESS.
Prosecution's Witnesses Tell of love
Affairs Between Farmhand and
Woman Who Lured Him
to Her Home.
Laporte, Iud., Nov. 18. Kay Lain-
phere, the farmhand accused of mur
dering Mrs. Belle Guliness and her
three children by setting lire to their
home, wept In court when the spec
tators, Indignant ut the revelntlons
made by witnesses for the prosecu
tion, shouted out angry threats against
him.
Several witnesses testified that Lara-
phere made numerous threats ngalnst
Mrs. Belle Gunuess. Through these
witnesses Trosecutor Smith tried to
prove that a strong motive existed for
Liunphere to nunoy Mrs. Gunness and
that this alleged annoyance terminat
ed on the morning of April 28 In Lain
phere setting tire to the Gunuess house
and burning the murderess and her
children.
The love affairs of Mrs. Gunuess and
Lampherc were told by William Sla
ter, and his testimony tended to veri
fy the state's contention thnt it wns
because of the falling out between the
two that Lamphere sought to harm
his former sweetheart and mistress.
The relations between Lamphere and
Mrs. Gunuess as described by Slater
caused a demonstration in the crowd
ed courtroom, which was packed to
suffocation, while hundreds hung
around the outside unable to gain ad'
mittance.
Peter Colson said he left the em
ployment of Mrs. Gunness because he
had been infatuated with her, but
later he became suspicious, and, fear
ing her, he concluded to get away. He
said he had been suspicious of the
woman since the death of her hus
band, retei Gi.7ir.es3. He said Lain
phere had threatened to get even with
Mrs. Gunness, who had turned Lam
phere down for Helgelein.
The troubles of Lamphere and Mrs,
Gunness, as shown by the records of
Justice Grover's court, were offered
In evidence. The court records show
ed one trespass case, one surety of the
peace action and proceedings to have
Lamphere adjudged Insane, all insti
gated by Mrs. Gunness.
Joseph Mnxson, a hired man, who
escaped alive from the burning Gun
ness home, described the premises and
the Gunness family circle fully. He
told of seeing Lamphere skulking
around the premises at night and said
that Lamphere ran when discovered.

PRESIDENT PRAISES Y. W. 0. A.
Says No Movement Better Deserves
Support of People.
Washington, Nov. 18. "I doubt If
there is a movement, among the move
ments that one can broadly term phi
lanthropic, In the country which bet
ter deserves the interest nnd support
of our people than the movement for
Young Women's Christian associa
tions."
Thus spoke President Boosevelt to
a gathering of young women of Wash
ington who called at the White House
mi the president's Invitation to receive
his congratulations on the splendid
work being done by the Young Wo
men's Christian association.
"There has been in the past," con
tinued the president, "a tendency to
do more for young men than for
young women. I remember twenty-
five years ago, being very much
struck, in Ner York, at a time when
I had some connection with work on
the east side, with the fact that there
was so much more opportunity for a
young man without friends In the city
to get a place for himself, to escape
temptation, to receive aid, than there
wns for a young woman; that too of
ten there was no chnncc for the young
woman who came to the city to re
ceive help and have the human sym
pathy which she so much needed."
The president then reviewed the
work being done by the Young Wo
men's Christian associations. Con
tinuing, he said:
This association Is peculiarly to be
commended for the way in which it
works in harmony with all other bod
ies. You have striven to make your
work part of the general helpful work
of the community. You try to work
In connection with the various church
es of all denominations, to help hand
In hand with them. You try to work
in connection with the other philan
thropic organizations. I do not know
an Influence which has a greater need
and which lias n Juster warrant for
asking outsiders to help it than this."

Foreign Affairs.
4-
r Berlin, Nov. 18. There is universal
tttolclnc throughout Germany over
lOnancallor von Bulow's victory In se
ring Emperor William's pledge to
abandon his policy of personal Inter
ference in foreign affairs.
j,It is regarded as a personal victory
(or Von Bulow and puts him on a par
with Bismarck as a history maker in
the German empire.
The Badicals and Socialists declare
It means a peaceful revolution and
that it secures real constitutional gov
ernment for the first time.
, By his complete surrender to the
rcichstag and the people the kaiser
has averted a clash with the nation
that seemed fraught with prospects of
disaster and caused satisfaction and
Joy to replace muttered threats and
grave discontent in every part of the
German empire.
After a conference with Chancellor
von Bulow, in which the demands of
the nation were put before him and
the ultimatum of the chancellor to re-
CHANCELLOR VON BULOW.
sign if he did not give up his personal
policy in government affairs, the em
peror yielded completely.
"It was the bitterest hour of ray
life," Emperor William said wearily
after the conference had ended.
Another effect of the kaiser's history
making interview with Von Bulow is
the effectual quenching of almost the
last flicker of the mediaeval torch of
divine right.
Bluntly and almost brutally the
chancellor told William III. that he
must capitulate to the demand of the
German race people, who required of
hliu that he would in future refrain
from unwarranted meddling with the
affairs of the state and practically
leave the conduct of the public busi
ness of the country in the hands of
his ministers and the reicbstag.
The conference was perhaps the
most momentous of the kaiser's reign,
All Germany heaved a sigh of relief
when it was announced that the em
peror had yielded satisfactorily and
completely.
Had the emperor stood firm even his
fawning courtiers were afraid to fore
cast the outcome, for it would have
precipitated a direct clash between the
emperor and the empire.
The meeting between the chancellor.
who In this instance acted as the tri
bune of the pcoplo rather than the rep
I resentntive of his ruler, and the kaiser
; was dramatic In the extreme.
, Worn and nervous and with none of
the old defiance that he used to flash
in every look, the kaiser listened to
the unvarnished truth boldly and mer
cilessly related.
Public opinion everywhere applauds
the emperor's decision, and where
twenty-four hours ago there was gen
eral revilement of him he is the object
of greater esteem than at any other
time in his life.

St. ricrre. N. F., Nov. 18. The up
rising against the authorities here
continues, and the limited police force
is unable to maintain order.

In the custom house, where the hear
ing Is being conducted before Referee

Mr. Rockefeller appeared in court
for a brief time, but was disappointed
at not being called during the fore
noon. He appeared smiling and In
the best of health.
In addition to John D. Rockefeller.
three other dominant figures In tit
Standard Oil company namely, 'Wll-
-WILLIAM. ROOKBFJXLISR. .
ilam Rockefeller, John D. Archbold
and James A. Moffett have received
notices to appear.
Testimony of a technical nature .re
garding the pipe line service of the
company prevented the calling of any
of the Standard Oil heads, and the
spectators were disappointed. There
Is a strong probability that John D.
Rockefeller may take the stand to
morrow morning, for it is expected
that by that time the prosecution and
the defense will have finished with
the present witnesses. The four prom
inent witnesses will not appear in
court until the defense Is ready to put
them on the stand.
Morris Rosenthal, senior counsel for
the Standard Oil company, will ex
amine John D. Rockefeller on the
stand. Then Special Attorney Frank
Kellogg will conduct the cross exami
nation, which is expected to be the
most interesting feature of the entire
hearing. The defense will aim to se
cure from Mr. Rockefeller the early
history of the Standard Oil company.
Great leeway is granted to Mr. Kel
logg in the cross examination, as he
Is permitted to ask any questions he
deems important to the case. Referee
Ferris will not have the power to pass
upon the legal points involved when
the lawyers for the defense make ob
jections, and the witness will be com
pelled to answer and rest content with
the objection of his counsel noted on
the records, subject to being stricken
out later. If Mr. Rockefeller should
refuse to answer on advice of counsel
Referee Ferris' probable course would
be to apply to a federal Judge for a
ruling on the point involved.
J. W. Vandegrlft, general manager
of the Southern Pipe Line company,
and B. W. Schroeder, professor of hy
draulics at Cornell university, were
called by the defense to prove scion;
tlflcally the intermixtures of oils o
varying specific gravities when ru
through the same pipes, one following
or preceding tho other. The defens
introduced this evidence to substai
tiate the testimony of the Oklahoma
and Pennsylvania oil producers, who
claim that to make the pipe line com
mon carriers would be neither prac
ticable nor profitable.
