Washington. D. C. April 30. "I

W, J, Bryan the. other day; whereat
many scoffed, predicating their scof
fing on the report, widely published.
that National Committeeman Guffey,

pro-Standard Oil, had won an un
equivocal victory in the Pennsylvania
primaries.
While Sir. Bryan haa sometimes
missed a guess as to a general election
result in the nation, as, indeed, all pol
itlclans flften do, he usually has made
specific assertions as to 8 particular
stato only when he knew , his facts.
These "facts are:
At least two thirds of the delegates
chosen at the recent uniform primaries
In Pennsylvania, are committed to
Bryan.1 A majority of the dolegates
selected are under absolute instructions.

Fleet Weighs Anchor.
(United Press Lae4 Wtr.
Santa Barbara, Cal., April . 80. The
Atlantic battleship fleet weighed anchor
at 6 o'clock this morning and sailed for
Monterey, its next stopping - place.
Toklo, April 10. In nearly every
household of military tod naval fame
today there s sorrow,' ;A projectile
in ' the rnagaxlne - room of the "Japan
ese royal training ship Matsushima
exploded early this morning1 and
killed over 200 men, among whom
were the flower of youth of the em
pire. .The ship sank to the bottom
of the sea instanter and left none
but struggling cadets, seamen . and
officers and torn bits of woodwork
over her grave.
Field Marshal Oyama has probably
lost his son who is listed among the
missing. Vice " Foreign Minister
Chlnda's son was killed and the sons
of many of the best known naval of
ficers and 'military commanders of
Japan are among the dead." It la a
sad day for Japan, recording as It
does the very worst accident that
ever befell the Japanese navy. .
Admiral Moshjamatsu reports that
the ship was blown to , pieces . while
maneuvering ' off the Pescadores
Islands and that , 141 of her comple
ment, of officers, cadets and Bailors
were saved. About 214 officers, cadets
and sailors were lost.
The disaster was .caused by the acci
dental explosion of a projectile In the
stock rnagaxlne. The entire magaslns
was iirnltad and before any of the boats
could be- launched the ship was torn
into shreds and her shattered sections
of hull went to the bottom like a plum
met. The men near the magasine were
torn to pieces by the explosion and
others were hurled into the water by
the terrific shock.', '
. Those below had no chance to? escape,
and were either killed Instantly orwent
to the bottom with their ship. '
The cruisers Hashadate and . ttsuk
kushlma, which were : accompanying the
Matsushima, quickly stood by and
picked up survivors. ' k
The captain and most of the other
officers are among the dead. None of
the survivors were able to explain the
cause of the explosion, and as all of the
men In the magasine perished it la
probable that it will never be known.
The Matsushima was the flagship in ,
the battle of The Yalu. and rarrled SO
