The determination of Gov. Deneen. an nounced to-day. not to surrender Private eZThd aro TaY KkJ gee, rouowing nia oraera guaru io car. has a deep significance.

It Is felt that unless a firm stand Is taken In behalf of the soldier who kills In the discharge of his duty, even though such action would sppear over-sealous In civil life, the morale of the Natlqnal Guard will be injured. It was this sentiment which was freely expressed to Gov. Deneen by offl- cers of the National Guard with whom he consulted regarding the case. It was authoritatively stated to-night J-that the appeal to Gov. Deneen and the action of the business men this morning calling on good citizens for information which would lead to the conviction of those e-uiltv of rlotlna bore aulck fruit.

Tou know about these avents and their re sults In bloodshed 'and property loss. I believe that out of every ten men In this city nine are law-abiding, faithful cltl-aena. Of the persona In that mob there waa not one to whom any of us would Intrust a single dollar. Not one ot them felt any degree of responsibility for the welfare of this' community." Resolutions promising aid of the members In bringing disturbers of the peace to luitlce were read. At 4 o'clock this afternoon Gen.

White miners at the Woodstde coal mine, a mile out of town, and the Tux-horn four miles distant, refused to-day to work wlj.h the negroes! The two mines employ about 500 men, about 130 of whom' are colored.

Several whitea who lived at of near the mining camps have gone to the towns, fearing that a guerrilla warfare would start through the mountains.

A renort has Just come from Jellieo that a mountain cabin near Anthras was burned early this morning with Its occupants, an old negro woman and five children. This report has not been verified.

It' Is said, the President has been In constant communication with Prof. Bailey, and hasJ repeatedly urged him to reconsider his letter.

Wink, Out of Work, Fires at Himsslf Twice the Flatlron Building. Herman Wink of 183 Fourth Avenue. Paterson, N. evidently thought be was trying to commit suicide yesterday afternoon in' front of the Flatlron Building. But he used a revolver with blank cartridges.

He held the weapon so close to his breast that his clothing was ignited by the flashes of the two shots which he fired at himself, but no hullet holes oould be found either In the man or In his clothing. He was taken to Bsllefue suffering from several bad burns. He was put In -the-psychopathic ward. The peculiarity of the attempt was added to by the fact that the cylindrr of the revolver contained one unexploded bullet cartridge. Wink appeared in the midst of the homeward-bound crowds on the Fifth Avenue side of the Flatlron Building bout 5 o'clock, muttering to himself and darting about.

The attention of several people had been attracted to him when he suddenly drew the revolver and, placing it against his breast, fired twice. Po llceman Kreutser of the West Twentieth Street Station knocked the weapon out of his hand and beat out the flamea which were burning around his chest and shoulders. It took two policemen to get Wink Into the ambulance, and he had to be held down all the way to the hospital.

BRYA1I WILL DEPOSIT 6UARAHTEE Issues a Statement on the Oklt homa National Bank Situation. i NO LONG SPEECH LIST Candidate Wilt Not Close Campaign, aa In Former' Years, with a Swing Around the Circle, Jserisl is Tk ffw Yfk Tmm. LINCOLN. Aug. J.

Brraa made a statement to-day about the move, ment among the national banks In Okl. homa which are giving up their charters obtained from the Federal Government and reorganising under the laws of tht State, ao aa to come in under the deposit guarantee law. Mr. Bryan blamed Con, gress for the situation. He said: X.do not know, of course, to what tent the national banks will surrender their charters, jifty-four national banks tn Oklahoma took advantage of the guar antee system and they have found It very profitable, for they have Increased their deposits while the unsecured national banks have lost In deposits.

Under the ruling of Attorney General Bonaparte, they will have to choose bow Dei ween remaining national banks or se. curing the, benefits of the guarantee sja, tern. They will either have to surrendee their charters or surrender the protectee which the guarantee system gives to theis depositors. They ought not to be dtlv to this alternative. Congress had ample time to past a law permitting the national banks of 0k.

lahoma to take advantage of this aystem. The Oklahoma law was enacted In Pe. camber and went Into Deration In ruary, and Congress was la session for several months sfterwsrd. but while the Republican leaders In Qongress could ftni time to put through the currency bill In the interest of the stock market they could not find time to enact legislation li the Interest of the depositors, or even la the Interest of the smaller national banks." Mr. Bryan and the Democratic earn- palgn managers expect make much of tne plank In their party platform oa Ute subject of guaranteed It Is by no means certain that the Democrats will be allowed to have a monopoly on the deposit guarantee issue.

however. In Nebraska, many Renuhliteut leaders "favor It. and a number ot legislative of that party are oa a platform favorable to the plan. That there will be a large element In the Republican State Convention committed te guaranteed deposits Is a certainty. and there is a large probability of the adoption of.a plank by that assemblage de flaring for the Oklahoma system.

The same tendency is observed In Kansas, Iowa, and other States of this section- -which have been formerly in the Re publican column. The Democratic campaign In Nebraska this year will lack the spectacular finish, of a swing around the circle by Mr. Bryan Just prior to. election. feature was an accompaniment of both hla former contests for the Presidency, In lHlWand 11MXX but no plans are being 111 for It this year, according to the statement of Chairman T.

John A. Johnson of Minnesota will be one of those whom it hopes to net for a series of addresses. It is believed that be will draw bigger audiences than any other man, owing to tbe fact that he was Mr. Bryan's leading- rival for the Presidential nomination, and also because he has twice bee elected Governor of a atrong Republican State. Senators Gore snd Owens of Okla- homa will both make speeches in Ne--braska If the National Committee caa -give this State some of their time.

Henry Warrum ot Indiana will also! be hears1 from. President A. F. Mullen of the Brraa volunteers for Nebraska will start, out this week to fill a series of speaking dates which haa been arranged for him. with the purpose of promoting the organise ion of new clubs.
