VAiinX!T0N7 Oct. 2.-(8peell ti Astorlan.) -Prominent Democrats who have come to Washington this wwk have wen auufel unanimous in ex- xpresilng aatisfactlon that Mr. Dry la dlpned to respect opposing opinion within Ma party and not press - tht matter of Federal and Mate ownership of railroad. The Democrat la atmo pbrre haa been clarified, they declare, and there I now no reason why a Democrats ahould not l aide to get tnirether and rreent a united front In loos. . As was to he expected, Mr, Brya hat been subjected to a irreat deal of crllleim, largely, from Republican sources, for what la termed bU re cantatlon of the government owner ehln preachment. This criticism ia manifestly tinfnlr'ln view of the fact that from the same aource came poniM for President' Rooevelt when he heeded the opinion of Republican leader and decided not to press upon Congres consideration of tariff revision Mr. Roosevelt was and la convinced that the tariff should he revised) he found he could not press the matter without causing serious discord with In his party, so yielded to expediency and agreed to let 'the matter ret for the preent. Mr, Roosevelt waa hailed as a wise and partlotle stateaman, Mr. Bryan Is convinced that the lederal and state governments should own the railroads he finds within the Dcmoc racy absolute and unyielding impost tlon to such a policy and realize that i to pres it now would dimipt the party jlfe yield to expediency and agrees to AT AND THE CUBANS President Speaks On Great Question. the he Insisted upon government ownership aa cardinal Democratic doctrine, he would have been denounced as a boss, who was bound to rule or ruin. Even had Mb Bryan been "willing to sacrifice himself upon the altar of government ownership, he could not have done so without, at the same time saorlfleirTg his party. It wu!d not have helped the situation a bit for Mr. Bryan to have said i , "I am unalterably commit ted to government ownership, but I ffi.l Demcratie sentiment opposed to Hi theecefore, I shall retire as a prenl- dentlal possibility."! The remilt would have been that In every (te of the Union Mr. Bryan's friends would have set to work to force government own. emhlp upon the party and the conflict would have been just as hurtful as if Mr. Bryan bid held to bis original po sition, naving done the only sensible and logical thing there was for him to do by recognizing that hie own opinion Is outweighed by the majority opinion of hia party, Mr, Bryan certainly is entitled to Democratic gratitude, Hie possibility of a Hearst victory in New York state haa been a thing of dread to old-line Democrats, but now that it la all over the situation la not nearly sq bad as had been .anticipated. It was nt Mr. Hearst's radicalism, but the exigencies of "practical" politics that finally decided the contest.

EXPEDITIONS GOING AHEAD J let the matter rest until the much vaunted rate legislation has been tiled jf Mr. Bryan Is denounced ni a self -seek- f Ing demagogue, whose ambition to be 1 President outweighs every other con i siderntion. There ia no occasion for comment on this sort of politics. It be longs to the political dark ages of a past generation. I Nor can it be forgotten that In a pub- Ho address last winter, Mr. Roosevelt .'.expressed conviction that there should be a tax on fortunes as a means of preventing menacing accumulations of wealth. , That was just aa radical as Mr. Bryan's government ownership doc trines. Republican opposed and even ridiculed the idea. Mr.. Roosevelt saw that he bad not made a "hit," and !sad sense enough to lot the matter drop. The situation was almost identi cal with the one In which Mr. Bryan . now finds himself, yet Roosevelt , was praised for his moderation and Bryan is flayed as a hypocrite. It must be admitted that Democrats treated Mr. Roosevelt with a great deal more fair- 7 nes and consideration than Mr, Bryan : la now receiving at the hands of Re publicans, It is probable, however, that Repub lican denunciation does not seriously worry Mr. Bryan and Ms friends, Had relieve that "Boss" Murphy haa any sympathy with ths thlnga for which Mr, Heerxt stands, and the very live liest doubt Is entertained whether Tammany will give him anything even approaching loyal support at the polls.

The Belen cut-off will secure a grade of les than eight tenths of one per cent as a maximum, and will allow the trains to make more speed. The cut-off will begin at Rio Puerco, and will run to Texico, to con nect with the Santa fe line at that point, thus giving train eay access to Kansas City.. J With the line completed as far as Texio, it will only be a short jump from that point to San Angelo, on the Santa Fe, anl the through line from Galves ton to San Francisco will be opened.

Roy Hoyle, special officer of the Mobile and Ohio Rail road and, one of the most widely known and best liked men in this vicinity, was fatally shot tonight, and Alderman Jones slightly wounded, during a fight at the county jail between deputy sheriffs and a mob determined to cap ture Dick Robinson, a negro, who this afternoon attacked the 12-year-old daughter of Blount Sossaman. . After the attack a detective captured the ne gro within three miles of the scene ot the assault. It was taken before the Sossaman girl and identified. ' Sheriff Fitch, knowing the negro would be lynched if imprisoned here, caused him to be taken several miles up the Mobile and Ohio railroad. : The mob presented itself at the jail nere and demanded the tiegro. The sheriff told them be was not there and of fered to let any one of a committee look through the jaiL ; While the search waa being made a portion of the crowd seized a tele phone pole and dashed it against the door. As the door fell a shot came from a man standing inside the gate.' At once the members of the mob com menced a fusilade. As the shots rang out there waa a stampede by the crowd for shelter. In a few moments Lyons came out, holding up his hands irom which the blood was streaming, and announced that Hoyle waa shot. ' This took all the fight out of the mob and the most of it dispersed. Part of the crowd, however, was not satis fied, and later got word the negro had been taken up the Mobile & Ohio. About 300 men boarded the next train with the expressed intention of lynch ing the man if they could find him. Governor Jenka, who waa in the cjty, at once summoned three companies of militia to this city. - ; Shortly after 10 o'clock another mob gathered and went to the jail, still un convinced that Robinson was there. Search was again made by the commit tee, which informed the crowd that Robinson was not there. The mob was incredulous and was growing decidedly ugly when Captain Frank Lumsten made a speech, asking the crowd to dispersed. This satisfied the crowd and it soon dispersed. ; The temper of the citizens of Mobile was shown tonight when! the crowd gathered before the principal theater with the avowed intention of attacking the ngroes in the theater as they came out.
