Wagner applies the term of coward
to the captains of the tugs Hattie
Gage and Kayak, and Bays they
should be In prison. He told how his
vessel was allowed to drift on the
rocks, white tugs stood by, making
no effort at rescue until she began to
pound to pieces. "And then," said
Wanner, "they cut their lines and
ran like dogs, leaving us to fight
death alone. For hours we burned
lights, something hit and I knew no
more till 1 found myself on the
beach."

most sensational development In the
present campaign was the sending to
dny by W. J. Bryan, democratic can
didate for president, of a telegram
to President Roosevelt, demanding
that he produce proof that Governor
Charles N. Haskell, of Oklahoma,
treasurer of the democratic national
committee, ever wag connected with
the Standard Oil Company. Seizing
upon the opportunity thus afforded,
Mr. Bryan took occasion to serve no
tice upon the President that he would
not permit any responsible member of
the republican organization to mis
represent the attitude of the demo
- tic party In the present campaign
-ml further, that the democratic par
ty was making "an honorable and
honest fight" in defense of lt poli
cies and that it expected and demand
ed fair and honorable treatment from
those In charge of the republican
mmnaien.
Copies of the telegram were given
for nnlillration lust before Mr.
Bryan's departure for Ann Arbor late

five hours in consultation with his
Hvlsera before wilding his telegram
to the president in reply to the state
