Bryan is to remove to Texas. He said so in an interview preceding his delivery of his lecture. He declared he intcuded to go to Texas to live fol- lowing a South American tour on which he will start &his fall. “l am not to seek election to the senate from Nebraska,” he said. “I am not going to be a Nebraskan, for I am going to remove to Texas. 1 expect to continue in politics in Texas Slow, but Not Sure. ™ “Your daughter is not engaged to young Johnson yet, then? 1 suppose 1t is a case of slow and sure?” “Well, yes—he is slow, and she is not at all sure!” I have often wondered how every man loves himself more than all the rest of men.—Antonius. HARRY C. PULLIAN'S | WOUND IS FATAL President of National Basehall League a Sulcide, New York, July 30.—Harry C. Pul|, Ham, president of the National League of Professional Baschall Clubs, is dead after shooting himself through the head in his room in the New York Athletic club. Although a bullet from his revolver passed entirely through his head, severing both optic nerves and causing instant blindness, Mr. Pulliam lived for nearly twelve hours. He became unconsccious soon after the shooting was discovered and was unable to make any statement’ as to his reason for committing suicide, but the deed is gemerally attributed to ill health. No note or other explana- tion of the suicide was found in the room. President Pulliam’s health, and perticularly his nervous condition, had been so poor for several months as to | cause much alarm among his friends. After the spring meeting of the Na- Uonal league in February he was granted an indefinite leave of absence and spent several months with rela- tives in Tennessee and Florida. He returned to his duties about a month ago and seemed to be considerably improved by his long rest. His HARRY' C. PULLIAM. health soon began to give way again and it is,reported that he recently spent a week in a sanitarium. Mr. Pulliam was born in Scottsville, Ky., thirty-nine years a2go and was successively reporter and eity editor of -the Louisville Commercial, presi- dent of the Louisville Baseball club, secretary and treasurer of the Pitts- burg club and president of the Nation- al league, to which office he was elect- ed in 1902.

ANARCHY PREVAILS AT HOME Barcelona the Center of Riot, Pil- lage and Incendiarism, SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION The desperate conditlon of Spain both at home und abroad was dis- closed when the Spanish government officially admitted the defeat of gov- ernment troops in a great battle in Morocco and at the same time re- ports showed that Barcelona was com- Dpletely in the hands of a revolutionary mob, the streets running with blood and the Spanish artillery using ma- chine guns in a vain attempt to check the onslaught of the revolutionary ele- ment. The battle in Morocco has brought a crushing defeat to the Spanish forces. The casualties on the Spanish side reached 3,000, giving the defeat an aspect akin to that which the Italians met in invading Abyssinia. The Moors, flushed with their vie- tory, are now advancing to attack the Bpaniards at anothor strategic point, Alhucemas. The latest dispatches in- dicate that Melilla, the Spanish strong- hold, is so pressed by the Moors that its safety is in danger and that capit- ulation to the Moors would not cause surprise. The internal condition of Spain is bordering on anarchy. Barcelona, the second largest city of Spain and the commercial rival of Madrid, is a cen- ter of riot, pillage, the burning of public and religious institutions and continued bloody fighting between the Spanish troops and rioters entrenched behind high barricades. The gravity of the situation, as related from points along the Spanish frontier, suggests the bloody days of the Paris com- mune. LOSE THREE THOUSAND MEN Spaniards Defeated in Fierce Battle in Morocco. Madrid, July 30.—Official dispatches received here admit that the battle between the Moorish tribesmen and the Spanish forces outside of Melilla July 27 was a disastrous defeat. The Moors cut off the communications with the Spanish outposts and the main force of the Spaniards was driv- en back under the walls of the city, where fighting continued desperately. The Spanish killed and wounded num- bered almost 3,000, which takes no ac- count of the men at the advance posts who evidently were cut off and aban- doned to their fate. Melilla is full of wounded men. The extent of the disaster is plain- ly apparent from General Mariana’s dispatch as given out at the war of- fice. He says: “On July 27 the Moors cut the rail- road, severimg communications with our outposts. Our batteries shelled the Moors, but the advance posts were endangered and they had to be abandoned. The situation at Melilla is grave, despite the desperate brav- ery of the troops, who are now fight- ing under the walls of the city. “Our losses in the engagement were General Pintos, a colonel, two lientenant colonels, five captains, many officers and subalterns and about 1,000 men. The wounded num- ber at least 1,500, including many offi- cers. The hippodrome is full of wounded soldiers. Two generals were mortally wounded.” That a great battle had been fonght between the Spanish troops and the Moors is now officially admit- ted from Madrid for the first time. The extent of the engagement was at first minimized in Spain, in an ef- fort to pacify the public, and dispatch- es concerning the battle were rigor- ously censured. Early reports gave the losses at a few hundred. The of- ficial 'admission- that the killed and ‘wounded reached 3,000 gives the bat- tle the importance of real warfare, the casualties being far greater than in any engagement during the Spanish- American war and exceeding some of the most sttbborn fighting of the Russp-Japanese war. INDICATES GRAVE SITUATION Mobilization of Spanish Army Ordered. Madrid, July 30.—In view of the grave situation at Barcelona, which is steadily growing worse, the naval in fantry has been ordered to that city. Senor Lacierva, the minister of the interfor, now termed the Spanish Tre- poff, announced that any newspaper printing reports disagreeing with the official information would be prose- cuted and the editions suppressed. A statement was issued by the min- istry of finance designed to stop the fall of Spanish securities, It says that the treasury balance is $18,000,- 000, of which $13,600,000 is in gold. No extraordinary taxes are contem- plated. Since the declaration of —martial Complete law throughout- Spain the censorship AT HOME THE MOORS over néws has been moreé severe. The complete mobilization of the Bpanish army has been ordered and all officers on leave have been re- called. The reserves of all classes have been summoned to the colors. The railroad lines in -the north of Spain are strictly guarded and no one is allowed to enter Spain without the permission of the military authori- ties. The garrisons at Burgos, Logrono, Vitoria and other towns are under arms. The censor forbids telegraphic communication with Bilbao. SERIOUS FIGHTING AT BARCELONA Artillery Attack Barricades Oc- cupied hy Rebels. Cerbere, France, July 30.—Spanish couriers arriving here report that ar- tillery is battering the barricades be- hind which the insurgents are desper- ately fighting in Barcelona. Heavy fighting is in progress on the Rambla, in San Anne square and the Calle del Fpino. The gutters are running with blood. The number of dead and wounded cannot be esti- mated. Five convents and several private residences have been burned at Llanza, where the excitement is grow- ing. Grave cvents are anticlpated at Flgueras. Comparative calm had boen restored when orders were issued to the recruits to report for duty. The entire populace is preparing to re- sist. All places where public funds have been deposited are guarded by the military. Business is at a complete standstill. The merchants are panic stricken and are placing their funds in foreign banks for safe keeping. Many instances of soldiers refusing to fire on the mob are reported. A lieutenant of infantry threatenmed to shoot a policeman who was about to fire his revolver in the crowds. Reports from the interior say that the situation is constantly growing more alarming. A mob, including many soldiers, is reported to have made a manifestation before the royal palace at Madrid, crying ‘““‘Down with the war.” FRENCH VIEW OF SITUATION Internal Insurrection Overshadows Moroccan War. Paris, July 30.—The internal insur- rection in Spain completely overshad- ows now the war in Africa. Although official dispatches from Madrid predict an early restoration of order in the province of Catalonia grave fear is entertained. The decision of Premier Maura’s cabinet to place the country under martial law and employ the army to repress the revolt in Catalo- nia as an alternative to convoking parliament may prove an extension of the insurrection which would endan- ger the dynasty. Preparations now being made in Madrid to quell the disturbances in- clude the dispatch to Catalonia of the entire Third and Fourth army corps and the Madrid cavalry brigade, un- der command of Prince Charles of Bourbon, who was about to leave for Melilla. Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria is one of the squadron commanders of this brigade. The scale upon which the military intervention is planned proves that the government entertains no illusion about halfway measures and is ready to take the responsibility of putting down the’ revolt ruthlessly as a warn- ing for the future. Both official and frontier reports leave little doubt that the workmen’s organizations and revolutionaries and anarchists made common cause in old Catalonia and have thus far had the best of the situation. The withdrawal of troops for the campaign in Africa left less than 5,000 men in the garri- son at Barcelona. The infuriated mob has erected barricades after commit- ting all sorts of excesses, Including the burning and sacking of churches. EVEN MADRID IS NOT SAFE Garrison at Spanish Capital pered With. London, July 30.—Information re- ceived through diplomatic channels in London tends to accentuate the grav- ity of the situation in Spain. it is in- timated that there is reason to fear the garrison at Madrid itself has been tampered with by the insurrectionists. METEOR CAUSES A SCARE Marinette People See Huge Rock Fall Blazing From the Sky. Marinette, Wis,, July °9.—Three hundred people returning in a street car train from Chautauqua were thrown into a.state of excitement when a huge meteor, dropping to the earth in the shape of a long, blazing comet, crashed Into the ground less than 100 feet from the train. A num- ber of people are excavating for the meteor, which is imbedded deep in the earth. It is the first meteorite known to have fallen in this section of the country, Tam- Resentment. - An old toper, being very hard, up, went into his favorlte bar and asked the puhlican for a glass “on tick.” “No,” sald the proprietor, “I won’t give you whisky on credit, but there’s a sixpence. Now, what do you want?” “Nothing here,” replied the tippler, lifting the coin and putting it in his pocket. . “The man who refuses me credlt won't get my*ready cash,” and with an elevated nose he marched out at the door.—London Telegranh.
