Bill Pending in Parliament Giving
Women Who Own Property Power
to Vote for Members of Parliament
Trying to Kill Bill.

"LONDON, July 7? Conservative
-and progressive leaders today ore
planning and devising ways to
"smother" a suffragette bill pending
in, parliament designed to permit
women who own or rent property to
Toto for members of parliament. The
bill restricts tho Toting power to those
women only who aro now entitled to
vote in elections similar to the city
and county elections In American cit
ies. Tho best substitute offered by the
leaders, who admit their fear of the
effect of the bill upon the governing
class should tho measure become a
law, Is tho Introduction of an amend
ment or substitute measuro limiting
nuffrago to thono women who actually
own property. This latter measure is
practically assured of passage.
Members of parliament aro tho
most important candidates for whom
.anyone In England can vote. Tho
pending bill, if passed, would place
English women on the samo footing
politically as Englishmen, in the par
liamentary olectlons an I the next step
would be tho granting of womon of
all electoral rights possessed by men.
And as women generally outnumber
the men, it would mean that Eng
Jand would be governed by women.
Beretoofre Englishmen -ave looked
upon woman suffrage as a thing to
como at some tlmo In the Indefinite
future. Now it appears very near,
jand Englishmen aro growing uneasy.
"It would bo absurd to dlsguiso,"
-says the Globe, "that the bill now
before tho bouse of commons is tho
first step toward a gigantic change.
Wo are not concerned to argue at this
moment whether tho change be good
or bad. Wo only ask that tho logical
outcome of this measure be appre
ciated.
"If the bill passes it means inevit
ably tho enfranchisement of all adult
women. Since women compose tho
majority of tho adult population, It
follows that thoy will determine tho
results of election, will make ami un
make governments and will guide tho
- policy of tho nation at homo and
abroad. It may bo a very good thing
that thoy should do so. On tho other
ihand, it may not."
LINCOLN, Neb., July 7. William
J. Bryan has issued a formal state
ment that he will not bo a candidate
for election to tho United States sen
ate Bryan said that he intends to cam
paign against the liquor interests in
Nebraska and that he did not wish
to be hampered by his own candi
dacy for any office.
"I stated somo months ngo that
I was not a candidate for the sennte
and that i did not expect to be,"
says Bryan in his statement. "I
told my friends that while I would
not promise not to becoino a can
didate the possibility was too rc
moto to bo considered by any one.
I was clad when others announced
their candidacy.
"A number of reasons convinced
me that it was inadvisable for me
to enter the race. One was that
I caw that the liquor fWit coming
nnd I thought I could do ray duly
better unhampered by candidacy for
any office. Later developments jus
tified this decision.
"The persons of Nebraska have
done much for me and I have lind
no chance to do much in return."

"Physically he was nil- right until
three days before tho fight," said
James J. Corbett in discussing Jef

at Itono. "Then a change came over
him nnd nil that we could do wa
not sufficient to lift him from his
slump. All this talk about his being
tho "hope of the white race" got on
his nerves.
"There nro other reasons for what
happened, somo of which wo realized
all along. All through his training
ho would not listen to advice. 1
tried to get him to do mode boxing!
but if ho wanted to go fishing he
simply would take up his rod and
go. And if he got a notion thnt road
road was what ho needed ho would
go on tho road and refuse to box.
"Several times I mado up my mind
to quit him. Then I considered that
the public would say I was a traitor
and so I stuck on.
"But wo knew he wns in good phys
ical condition up to three days be
fore the fight. What happened to
him I can't describe any more than
to say he went into a state of com
plete nervous collnpsc.
"Before the first round I went over
to Johnson's corner and looked nt his
hands before ho put his gloves on.
This wns not my purpose, however.
I wanted to see if Johnson wns ner
vous. Ho was. When I came back
I said to Jeffries: 'Jeffries, you
hare that nigger scared to death. If
you wado into him you can lick him
in one round.'
"But Jeffries acted like a man who
did not hear what was being said
to him. If ho hnd shown the slight

I told him thnt I would have thought
that there was somo hope for him.
