CRITICISES THE ; MODERN NEWSPAPER. One of the Evils is the Publication of | Crimes and Domestic Infelicity. Philadelphia, March 13.—William Jennings Bryan and Rollo Ogden, ed- itor of the New York Evening Post discussed The Influence of the Mod- ern Newspaper here tonight at a meet- | ing of the Contemporary club. Mr. Bryan said that the modern newspaper has lost much prestige and influence. Among the causes for this loss of influence, he said, was the de- votion of too much space to crime and domestic infelicity. Becaus2 the pub- lic: seem to demand news of this de- scription, he said, was no reason that it_should be used. A journalist should n sell: things that are not good for the public to read. Sensational Treatment of Public Ques- tions. Another evil, Mr. Bryan declared, is the discussion of public questions from a sensational standpoint. For example, ‘he decried the manmer in which the present movement of troops is being described in some newspapers. Such discussion .is apt, he said, to engender a situation which might easily -cause an international controversy. -Editorials from ‘the Business Office. Editorials which do not express the opinion of the writers, but arz ordered by the business offices of the papers, are anothor'treat evil, ‘declared Mr. Bryan, interests that are practicing cény on the people. Many of our greal newspapers are owrled by interests ‘which have their hands in the pockets of the peeple and.use the papers to chloroform the readers.” Require Publicity as to Ownership. Mr.: Bryan -advocated the passage of a law which would compel newspapers to publish not -only the names of their nominal owners, but also the holders of mortgages upon the properties. RUSSIAN- TROOPS ADVANCE ON KULJA. China Can Stop Occupation Only by Executing Treaty Obligations. St. Petersburg, March 13.—Only the ediate execution of China's treaty obligations towards Russia can inter- rupt the advanee of the army which is to -occupy Kulja. Two. brigades of sharpshooters, four sotnias of Cossacks, two batteries of fleld guns and eight batteries' of machine guns were des- patched from Margelan in Forghana, Turkestan, shortly after the receipt of Chine’s second reply. Advites to the war office tonight say that the expedition is within a hun- dred miles of the frontier and steadily advancing in order te reach the fron- tier about the time of the presentation of the ultimatum. The Russian force is considered entirely sufficient to re- ooccupy and hold Kuija, as the -Chinese troops, although nominally 10,000 in number, actually number a bare counle of thousand.

V., March 13.—Plans for a conference on the senatorial ques- tion at the executive mansion tonight between Goverrior Dix, Mayor Gaynor of New York and Charles F.

The absence of the Tammany leader, however, did not prevent a thorough discussicn of the situation by Govérnor Dix and Mayor Gaynor within the se- clusion of the mansion tonight, and it is not impossible that they may have some solution of the yvexed problem to present te Mr, Murp‘hy at tomorrow’ conference.

Why cannot that e done?” Governor Called the Conference. The following pight the governor conferred with the mayor in New York, leaving next morning for his Ad- irondack camp.
