A cable dispatch to the Tribune from Tangier says: Paul Stensland's confession, made to Assistant State's Attorney Olson yes terday, clears up much of the myS' tery surrounding the events lending up to the crash which involved the ruin of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank. He took much of the blame upon himself, but declares that Cnshier Hcrinu was forger and that Hering got most of the money. He exonerated his son Theodore, and the bank directors. He declared it a lie that he had spent any money on Leone Ijingdon Key, or any other woman. He declared that he nev er spent more than $5,000 a year him self, and nil the money he stole he put into real estate or investments in the hope of "making good." In his heart of hearts he was glad he was no long er n wanderer on the face of the earth 'Why," said he, "think of signing a name not your own! It is worse than stealing, I did not know it would be so hard to he a fugitive." Stcnslnnd did not delude himself eith er with the idea of escaping punish ment.

BRYAN SCORESMETHODS Refusal of Illinois Democrats to Ask Sullivan's Resignation Disliked. GOES AFTER. COMMITTEEMAN Nebraskan Unmercifully Condemns Sul livan for His Political Methods--Affirms Stand on Government 1 Ownership of Railroads. CHICAOO, Sept. 4.-W. J. Bryan, as the guest of the local Democracy, de livered within eight hours two ad dresses. His first speech was made at a luncheon given in his honor by the Iroquois club and dealt entirely with the political issue and economic ques tions of the day. His second speech was made at a banquet in his honor by the Jefferson club and was devoted to National Committeeman Roger C. Sul livan, whose resignation Bryan demand ed, but who was endorsed by the recent state convention, which also declared in favor of Mr. Bryan as the next Demo cratic nominee for president. Bryan not only scored Sullivan and his political methods unmercifully, but informed the lnvrats nrrwni. manv of whom were delegates to the recent state convention, flint if they accepted Sullivan they could not endorse him in any way. He informed them emphatically that he would have the non-approval of the Democrats of Illinois, and that he re pudiated their recent endorsement of him. In his afternoon's address in sup port of his recent utterances regarding government ownership of railroads, he said that there was no more corrupt ing influence in politics than the rail roads. He declared he had reached the conclusion that this corruption could not be eliminated until these natural monopolies become the property of the government. He was opposed to central ization, but believes the state can best do that which concerns the state alone. He therefore believes that instead of having all the railroads under federal control, the local lines should be owned by the State governments, and only thfc trunk lines by the federal government.

He mentioned the difficulties to be met, the demands on one side that the stock men be kept off reserves and the de man of the other stockmen to have free access to them. He admitted mistakes had been made, and other mistakes would be. Senator Heyburn followed and took the national administration severely to task. One charge that he made was that two-thirds of the area had been sea aside for reserves and the hopes blasted, that the state would nev er amount to anything except as a good I quiet place for poets todream. Wash ington, he said, was almost in as bad shape. He denied the right of the ad ministration to assume the prerogative of "giving" to the people. The people, he said, were sovereign in this country.
