GOING TO GOTHAM
Bryan Greeted by Great Crowds All’
Along me Kuuie,
GENERAL WEAVER IN THE PARTY
And introduces Him to Crow/s
as the Next President
BRYAN MAKES SEVERAL SHORT TALKS
At Every Station Much Enthusiasm Was
Shown and Democracy’s Candidate For
the Presidency Was Kept Busy Making
Speeches and Shaking Hands Ladies
Join In the Demonstrations.
Des Moines, Aug. 8. —On the second
day of its trip, the Bryan party was up
Xvith the dawn. It was booked to leave
Des Moines at 6:50 a. in. An early
breakfast was served at the hotel, and
at the appointed hour the party was as
' sembled at the dep >t, where some 200 or
300 people were assembled to greet Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan, doubtless wisely deem
ing it a better opportunity of reaching
them than in the jam and scrambling
of the previous evening. General J. B.
Weaver accompanied Mr. Bryan on the
trip east, and Mrs. Dr. Watts of Des
Moines rode with Mrs. Bryan as far as
Colfax. The car in which the party
rode was clothed in an air of nonpro
vincialism through the solicitude of the
press gang, which chartered it for their
use and sedulously excluded the over
zealous, a precaution necessary to en
able them to perform their work. Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan had borne the fatigues
of the previous evening’s experience ad
mirably and were apparently in the best
of health and spirits. The train was a
local passenger, stopping at every sta
tion. At Altoona, about 20 men were
on the platform. They cheered until
Mr. Bryan appeared. General Weaver
said they were nearly all Republicans,
who had fallen into line for silver. At
Mitchellville, there were 200 people at |
the depot and Mr. Bryan shook hands
with as many as possible during the
brief stop. Colfax was reached a few
minutes before 8 o'clock, and nearly or
quite 1,000 people were wedged into the
narrow space between the tracks. Many
of them were miners, with their lamps
in their caps.
, Introduced as the Next President. •
General Weaver introduced Mr. Bryan
as the next president, and he spoke- as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
, lam very glad to greet the people who
live-in General Weaver’s home. He was
. a pioneer in this work and was talking for
’ free silver long before It had come to the
attention of a great many of us. And I
never think of one of these pioneers who
blazes out the way, or think of the abuse
generally heaped upon the pioneer, with
out thinking of what somebody said a
year or so ago: That when one person
saw a thing he was called a fanatic, when
a great many saw it, he became an enthu- I
siast, when everybody saw it he became a J
hero.
The train was moving as the last sen- I
fence was ut e.'ed and the crowd was
cheering lustily.
At Newton at 8:14 there were 1,000 to
1,500 persons on the platform, on box
cars, in buildings and in carriages.
There was so much cheering that it
was with difficulty that Governor
Weaver finally succeeded in restoring
order, when Mr. Bryan said:
Ladies apd Gentlemen:
I <tm glad to see you. I believe this is
Newton. If I am not mistaken your
town bears the name of a man who" has
been given credit for starting the law of
gravitation. Some of the law sos finance,
I may say all the great laws of finance,
are as certain in their operation and as ir
resistible in their force as the law of grav
itation. If . >u throw a stone into the air
you say it will come down. Why? Be
cause it is drawn toward the center of the
earth. The law upon which we base our
fight is as sure as that. If we have a
gold standard prices will go down. [Great
applause].
The last words were uttered as the
drain was moving and were drowned
by a storm of enthusiastic cheers for
Bryan. General Weaver bade goodby
to the party here.
The Ladies Take a Hand.
' At Kellogg, 500 people appeared when
Mr. Bryan shook hands with as many
of them as could push their way to the
rear of the car, and there was no de
mand for a speech. All, including the
ladies, shared in the cheering and wav- j
iug of hats and handkerchiefs. In fact
at all the gatherings the feminine repre
sentation and the feminine enthusiasm
were marked features, many of the '
warmest and heartiest handclappers and i
many of the most stentorian manifesta
tions of applause came from enthusi- 1
astic women.
Grinnell was sighted at 8:35 a. m.
and 2,000 people were waiting. In the
i midst of the handshaking there were
many invitations to speak and Mr.
Bryan responded. It was about an even
match between his proverbially effective |
vocal capacities and the rumbling of a ;
freight train switching back and forth
on an adjoining track, but in the end
Bryan’s sonorous utterances prevailed, I
He said:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
lam very much obliged to you. I can
appreciate somewhat the courtesy which
you feel. Our party tried an experiment I
which no great national party has tried be- |
fore, I believe: that is, they nominated a !
candidate for president who has to pass
through lowa before he can get to the
White House. [Applanse and laughter],
I remember with pleasure a visit which I
made to your city three or four years ago
at the fair grounds. I remember what a
beautiful city you have, and I am glad to
see again so many of the faces I saw then
and to see so many new faces. lam also
glad to notice the interest which is being
taken in lowa in this camnaign. Brom what

with the fact that many people who are
Republicans, or have been heretofore, are
going to make an exception this time in
order to restore the gold and silver stand
ard of the constitution. [Great applause],
I trust that the great enthusiasm that is
manifested now will continue to grow un
til election day. I believe that the poli
cies which are outlined in the Chicago
platform are for the best interests of the
whole country, as well as for the best in
terests ot the people of Nebraska, lowa
and the great jvest, and I want you to
study them and give them the considera
tion which their importance demands. I
thank* you for this opportunity of greet
ing you. [Applause and cheeriug].
Calls For Dick Bland.
The previous visit to which Mr. Bryan
referred was made about three years
ago, when he spoke at a county fair. At
the conclusion of his remarks there
were calls for Mr. Bland, and Mr. Bryan
responded that Mr. Bland was not
aboard, but would join the party in
Chicago. Handshaking was resumed
and continued until the start was made
for Malcolm. During the short stop at
Brooklyn about 500 people listened to a
short address, which Mr. Bryan deliv
ered from a wagon, to which he was es
corted by J. L. Tucker, agent of the
Rock Island road at that place, and
chief of the lowa lowshiek county
Democracy. Three cheers were given
at that place after the address, which
was as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I remember some years ago -when I was
in college that a candidate for the presi
dency passed through our town, and I got
up early and Went down to the train and
stood for hours waiting for a chance to see
him, and, therefore I appreciate somewhat
the curiosity which one has to see a can
didate for a high office. (A voice, “yes, but
you ain’t going to get it’ and laughter in
which Mr. Bryan joined.) I also recog
nize in these gatherings that have taken
all along the line, that re pect which
American people have for those who tem
porarily sit in authority. It sho s that
it is the office which we respect, and no
matter how elections go we stand behind
the officer until we‘can replace him by
some one who suits us better. [Cheers
and applause.]
At Victoria, where about 150 people
were in waiting, Mr. Bryan had plenty
of time to shake hands with all of them,
as the train was sidetracked to meet an
other passenger train. He did not speak,
although requested to do so.
FORCED TO LEAVE CUBA.
The Sister and Son of an Insurgent Gen
oral Arrive In New York.
New York, Aug. B.—Among the pas
sengers on board the Ward line steamer
Niagara, which has just reached this
port from Santiago de Cuba, were the
sister and gon of General Lucret of the
Cuban insurgent army. They were
obliged to leave the island for their own
safety, and with the greatest difficulty
managed to reach the steamer at San
tiago from a small boat. They went on
board with a number of persons who
were bidding adieu to friends and were
secreted in one of the staterooms until
after the steamer left the harbor.
General Lucret, with a force of in
surgent troops, had inflicted consider
able damage to the Spanish lines of
transportation, in which the use of dy
namite played a very important pai't.
Much railway property and bridges have
been destroyed in this manner. In con
sequence, Captain General Weyler in
formed Lucret that unless he ceased that
mode of warfare the government would
retaliate by blowing up the residence of
his family near Santiago. The family
being duly warned, immediately aband
oned their home.
Other passengers arriving by the Ni :
agara report that the Spanish troops
suffered a crushing defeat in the battle
fought near Santiago on Tuesday, July
28. The Spaniards were ordered to at
tack the insurgents and three bodies of
troops were ordered to leave Manzanillo,
Guantanamo and Santiago, respectively,
and to march on the insurgents, who
were supposed to be a short distance
from the city of Santiago. With the
approach of the first Spanish column,
the news was brought to the insurgents
that the enemy was approaching. Gen
eral Gomez and General Garcia suc
ceeded in attacking each column before
they could effect a juncture.
Laborers Asked to .Hake Contributions.
Pittsburg, Au.’, 8. —A notice solicit
ing donations for use in the presidential
campaign by the Republican national
committee has been posted in Jones &
Laughlin’s mills, on the south side. The
firm employs 3,000 men. The notice
reads: “All those in favor of sound
money and desirous of getting an hon
est dollar for their day’s work will, of
their own free will and accord, sub
scribe $1 (one dollar) to the campaign
fund of the national committee.” There
is no name signed to the request, and
the company said it would not be com
pulsory for any of the men to subscribe.
Police Corroborate Campbell's Story.
San Francisco, Aug. B.—The police
have corroborated the remarkable story
told by James Campbell, the Hawaiian
millionaire, who says he was kidnaped,
bound and gagged by two men and held
for ransom. The story has been inves
tigated by the police and they are cer
tain that a desperate attempt was made
by Winthrop and a confederate to in
duce Campbell to give up $20,000. Win
throp is missing, and it is thought he
has gone to Mexico. Campbell and the
chief of detectives appeared before the
grand jury, and it is reported that Win
throp has been indicted by that body.
Second Hanging In Utah's History.
Salt Lake City, Aug. 8. —Charles
Thiede was hanged in the jail yard here.
The execution was witnessed by a large
number of people. It is the second
hanging in the history of Utah. Thiede,
who was a saloonkeeper, murdered his
wife on the night of April 30, 1804,
nearly severing her head from her body
with a knife. He asserted his innocence
to the last.

to refer to state issues, as he believes
the people know all about them, but
that he will devote his whole time to

The secretary of the Baptist state

The Public Service In China.
Ex-Secretary John W. Foster, who
was the confidential adviser of the em
peror of China in the peace negotiations
with Japan, contributes a paper on
“The Viceroy Li Hung Chang” to The
Century. Mr. Foster says of the vice
roy:
He does not regard the competitive
educational system of admission to the
public service as a perfect method, and
moio than once he has recommended to
his emperor material modifications in
the existing system. But it must be
confessed that it has stood the test of
centuries with much benefit to China,
and its practical operation has demon
strated that it possesses two merits of
inestimable value to any nation. First,
it brings all the offices of the empire
within the reach of the lowest subject,
and, secondly, it diminishes the incen
tives to and opportunities of corruption
and favoritism in securing entrance
into official life. But in China the com
petitive examination ends with the ad
mission. Beyond that step promotion
must come though other methods. Li
Hung Chang secured the right of ad
mission to office through his assiduous
application to study, and every succeed
ing step in his upward career has been
attained by his own genius and capacity.

HERE’S HIS POSITION
Cleveland Said to Favor a Gold
Dfmocraiic Ticket,
NOW PREPARING A DECLARATION
So it is Generally Believed by
Politicians
CLEVELAND WANTS BRYAN DEFEATED
Will Soon Come Ont Squarely For an in
dependent Ticket and Secretary Hoke
Smith Will Immediately Resign His Po
sition—Ollier Members of the Cabinet,
However, Will Uphold the President.
Washington, Aug. B.—lt is gener
ally believed now by politicians in touch
with the administration that as a result
of Mr. Cleveland’s conference with
those of his cabinet who support him in
his antagonism to the Bryan ticket,
some declaration will be made within a
few weeks aliging the administration
with the movement for an independent
gold Democratic ticket. There is no
concealing the fact that Mr. Cleveland
would be greatly pleased at Bryan’s de
feat, and if this could be brought about
by placing an independent ticket in the
field he would be clear of any suspicion
of having in any way aided in the elec
tion of Mr. McKinley.
In his support of an independent
ticket he would be upheld by Carlisle,
Morton, Lamont, Herbert and Wilson,
while Secretary Smith would immedi
ately resign and line up with the regu
lar Democratic organization. It is be
lieved that Mr. Cleveland has now prac
tically concluded op his course and that
he is waiting only to confer with those
of his cabinet who are in sympathy
with him, and to consult with some
other prominent Cleveland men before
giving his approval of the proposition
to nominate a gold Democratic ticket.
Will Not Act Under Sudden Impulse.
No one can say now fo£ certain how
or when he will maktT-his position
known to the public, but the belief of
those best informed as to his state of
mind is that he will not as yet, do more
than give certain leaders, who are close
to him, to understand what his position
is, so that they may act accordingly,
and that he will not take the public
fully into his confidence until the cam
paign shall be- well on. It is not b -
lieved, though, that he may act under
sudden impulse—that he will take thd
occasion of Mr. Bryan’s notification to
write a letter defining his position.
Those who ought best to be able to judge
do not expect that he will make any
public declaration before the middle of
September. His idea is said to be that
the gold Democrats ought to organize,
so as to make their efforts effective in
in accomplishing the defeat of Bryan.
The consideration that is expected to
turn the balance in favor of the nomi
nation of an independent gold ticket is
that such a ticket would draw the sup
port of gold Democrats, who cannot un
der any circumstances be led to vote for
McKinley, and many of whom would
vote for Bryan, if given but the one
choice, while, on the other hand, those
who are willing to vote for McKinley
can and will do so, even if there is a
Democratic gold ticket in the field.
The Nomination Will Not Be Binding.
The nomination will nqt be made
with the idea that it will be binding on
any Democrat to support it, if he thinks
that he can better serve the cause by
voting directly for McKinley, but it will
merely furnish a means of escaping
from the support of Bryan for such as
cannot bring themselves to vote for the
champion of protection.
The belief that Mr. Cleveland has
fallen in with-this idea is strengthened
by the fact that men who, it is quite
certain, would not act in the matter
without first consulting his wishes and
being assured that the movement was
going to culminate in some definite ac
tion, have, after deliberation of the
question, and, presumably, after con
sulting him, taken off their coats and
gone earnestly into the work of organ
izing for a gold Democratic fight.
It is believed that, after lending his
approval to the nomination of an inde
pendent ticket. Mr. Cleveland and all
of the forces that he can control will
exert their influence to throw as strong
a Democratic vote to McKinley as pos
sible.

example of pugilistic skill. “He had

minutes. While he was away the driver
addressed her in tones she did not like.
‘Tom,’ she said, when her husband re
appeared, ‘this man has spoken imperti

[ RELEASE OF A GYPSY MOTH.
A. Careless Frenchman’s F'.periments Have
Led to Trouble.
On a certain ill omened day in 1869
I a gentle breeze rippled through the
streets of a quiet town in eastern Massa
chusetts. It left chimneys unharmed
and hardly rippled a tree, yet if it had
been a cyclone it could hardly have done
more damage, for in a bare little frame
tenement house on a side street stood
Pandora’s box full of troubles waiting
to be spread broadcast over the land,
and the breeze furnished the needed
key. Presently the owner of the house
and of Pandora’s box, a FrenchmSn,
known to his neighbors for his curious
experiments in silk raising and for his
absorption in the study of strange in
sects, was seen searching anxiously in
the grass outside his window. People
who saw him said that he seemed much
disturbed at the failure of his quest.
Well might he be, for he had just let
loose one of the plagues of Egypt upon
a fair and fertile land. He had lost “le
zigsag, ’ ’ and the new world has gained
the gypsy moth.
Mr. Trouvelot, the silk grower of
Medford, can hardly expect to have his
name pleasantly remembered among
his quondam townsman and country
men, but he should be given credit both
for intelligence to foresee the conse
quences of his negligence and for the
candor immediately to give notice of
the danger to which the public was ex
posed. But his warning fell on deaf
ears. No one realized that the pest,
which is a nuisance rather than a dan
ger in Europe, would gain such head
way in a new home, and, freed from
its hereditary enemies, was to deviate
wherever it went. It would have been
economy, if the future could have been
foreseen, to appropriate $1,000,000, if
need be, to quarantine the whole neigh
borhood, to fell the trees, to raze the
houses to the ground, to plow the fields
under and leave that part of the town
a desert. But no one rose to the emer
gency till it was too late.—Springfield

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
The Startling Result of Firing a Cannon
Buried Under Water.
The most curious experiment ever
made with a piece ofc ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark; on this an armstrong gun of the
110 pound pattern was mounted. The
gun was then loaded and carefully aimed
at a target—all this, of course, during
the time of low tide. A few hours later,
when tire gun and the target were both
covered with water to a depth of six
feet, the gun was fired by means of elec
tricity. We said “aimed at a target,”
but the facts are that there were two
targets, but only one was erected for
this special experiment, the other being
the hull of an old vessel, the Griper,
which lay directly behind the target and
in range of the ball. The target itself
was placed only 25 feet from the muzzle
of the gun. It was composed of oak
beams and planks, and was 21 inches
thick.
In order to make the old Griper in
vulnerable, a sheet of boiler plates 3
inches thick was riveted to the water
logged hull, in direct range with the
course the ball was expected to take if
not deflected by the water. On all of
these—the oaken target, the boiler
plates and the old vessel hull—the effect
of the shot from the submerged gun
was really startling. The wooden target
was pierced through and through, the
boiler iron target was broken into pieces
and driven.into its “backing,” the ball
passing right on through both sides of
the vessel, making a huge hole, through
which the water poured in torrents.
Taken altogether the experiment was
an entire success, demonstrating, as it
did, the feasibility of placing submerged
guns in harbors in time of war and do
ing great damage to the vessels which
an enemy might dispatch to such points
for the purpose of shelling cities.—ln
