Many reckless people will to nc esmjiany the president on that Afri ca hunt. They come from Phila delphia, and want a good excr.se for suicide.

General Grosvenor has predicted the defeat of Bryan, although he knew very well that he could create a greater sensation by prophesying the contrary. , "In proportion to Its sire," says the Pittsburg Dispatch, "a beetle is stronger than 100 horses."

With regard to an assertion tiat the preseut struggle Is between the railroad and union leaders rather I than the men, J. H. McVety said: I "Such a statement is absurd.

A.I that was submitted to the men wai the award ot the commission with the question whether the men would accept or not. The vote for a strll.e was an absolutely spontaneous movement by the men themselv-B and they are sticking to It with prac tical unanimity." Local strikers emphatically deny that the engineers' union will sup port them. The strikers Bay that In enother week many of the trains will Li unfit for the road. AtA Brandon, Man., where 200 men are out, the strike situation wis given new life last evening when the company brought In from the Hait 1 men.
