BRYAN ON A TROLLEY
Begins a Campaign Among the Smalhr
Cities of New York.
SPEAKS FROM REAR PLATFORM
Two or Three Thousand People
Gathered
TO HEAR HIM AT TONAWANDA
Says Few of the People Have Sufficient
Money This Year to Visit Presidential
Candidates and It Is Only Fair That the
Candidates Should Go to See the People.
No Sectional Question Raised.
Niagara Falls, Aug. 28.—1 n his Sy
racuse speech, William J. Bryan ex
plained his campaigning tour by a re
mark that because few of the people had
enough money this year to visit a presi
dential candidate, it seemed only fair
that the candidate should go to see the
people. In pursuance of this policy Mr.
Bryan left Buffalo by trolley Friday
morning to begin a two days’ campaign
among the smaller cities of northern
New York.
At Tonawanda there were gathered
200 or 300 people. The car stopped in
the center of the town and Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan, standing on a platform, shook
hands with a typical country crowd.
Mr. Bryan spoke to them briefly. His
voice, in its huskiness, shows the wear
and tear of the week, and when the
trolley moved off it was followed by
“three cheers for the next president,” as
the proposer of them shouted. The
speech follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
(A voice—“We arc fighting the aristoc
racy of gold.”) Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Chicago platform, while it was writ
ten and adopted by the Democrats of the
west and south, does not raise any sec
tional question. It simply reasserts the
Democracy first taught by Thomas Jeffer
son and afterwards defended by Andrew
Jackson [applause] and the Democracy
upon which the Democratic party must
always stand unless it decides to
abandon the principles which have
been its principles from the begin
ning and substitutes the plutocracy
that some have called modern Democracy.
[Applause], The Chicago platform simply
reiterates those fundamental principles
upon which our form of government WM*
rest. The keynote of the Chicago plat
form is found in the declaration of inde
pendence, that all men are created alike,
and that therefore as citizens have the
right to appropriate to themselves the
blessings that the Creator intended for all
the people of this country. [Applause].
Why Abusive Epithets Are Used.
The laws should be made so that many
should toil and that few should not enjoy
the fruits of the toil of the many. The plat
form means that every man shall be de
fended in the enjoyment of that which he
earns, but that no man shall be permitted
to enjoy what somebody else has earned
and was taken from him by vicious legis
lation. The reason they use abusive epi
thets and apply hard names to those who
support that platform is because they
know that the platform is a menace to
wrongdoer, not the smaller wrongdoer
only, but also the larger transgressor who
attempts to use the government as an in
strument to wrong others. [Applause],
I do not think it is going to require a
great deal of talk in this campaign. We
are not going to have any difficulty to find
speakers. We can go out into any of the
stores, machine shops, the farm or the
men who work along the road and find
men who know enough about the princi
ples of this government to discuss these
questions and apply them to themselves.
The great common people do not need any
particular class to tell them what they
shall do, they can think for themselves,
and I trust that when November comes,
they will act for themselves. [Great ap
plause],
Mr. Bryan Makes a Statement.
During the morning ride Mr. Bryan
made to the representative of the Asso
ciated Press a statement of views rela
tive to the campaign in New York,
which, in view of the recent visits of
Mr. Hill and State Chairman Hinckley,
may be considered of importance. Mr.
Bryan said:
“I am more than gratified with the
demonstration of last evening. It far
surpassed anything which I had ex
pected. lam also pleased to find so
unanimous a sentiment in favor of the
indorsement of the action of the Chi
cago convention. From what I have
seen in New York, and from the senti
ments expressed by members of the state
organizations, I am satisfied that the
state convention will indorse the plat
form as well as the ticket. Some of the
Democrats may oppose parts of the plat
form, but it is tiie national platform
and will b accepted as a whole.”
During the brief stop in Niagara, the
Bryan party was taken on a special car
of the George railroad to Lewiston, a
distance of several miles down the river.
The road is built under the cliff on the
American side and runs close by the
rapids, commanding a fine view of the
fails. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan stood on the
front platform and at Lewiston shook
hands with a small party, zlfter as
cending the tower for a view of the
falls, they took the train for Knowles
ville, near Medina, to speak at the farm
ers’ picnic.
AN INSANE WOMAN’S DEED.
Mrs. C. W. Greene of Kansas City Kills
Three Children and Herself.
Kansas City, Aug. 28.—Neighbors,

house Mrs. Greene also lay dead on the
floor, sweltering in her own blood.
The woman, supposedly while tempo
rarily insane, had apparently fired on
and killed her children, then dispatched
herself, using a revolver.
Petition For an Extension of Time.
Frankfort, Ky. t Aug. 28.—George
Washington, the attorney for Walling,
filed a petition with the clerk of the
court of appeals for extension of 60
days’ time for the filing of a transcript.
The time expires Sept. 31, and Judge
Helm is in Michigan. Judge Hazelrig
will probably grant the extension.

sultan has sanctioned the scheme of the
powers for the settlement of the Cretan
question.

AFTER BART THRASHER.
A Fosse of Men Fired on tlie Bibb County
Desperado but He Escaped.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 28.—Bart
Thrasher, the noted Bibb county out
law, was seen and shot at by a posse of
men at Coalburg about 11 o'clock. Be
fore midnight Sheriff Morrow was noti
fied of the encounter, and accompanied
by Chief Deputy B. A. Thompson and
other deputies, with bloodhounds, went
to the scene of the shooting. The party
followed the tracks of the wanted man
to a switch on the railroad, where they
were lost.
Thrasher was accompanied by a pal,
a desperate man known as “Panther,”
and the two managed to catch a freight
train passing Coalburg shortly after the
shooting and made good their escape.
Members of the posse who came upon
Thrasher and his companion say they
succeeded in wounding him or his part
ner.
Upon information received that
Thrasher and his pal were in the neigh
borhood of Coalburg, Sheriff Morrow
sent out a posse of deputies, fhey went
to the point where, it was thought
Thrashe was and laid in wa t. After
the deputies arrived at the place it de
veloped that Thrasher and his pal were
in the neighborhood of Coalburg, but
were at a different point from the one
named. Another posse was hastily
formed and sent in the direction in
which the desperado was reported to be.
The secqpd posse had not been long in
the neighborhood when Thrasher and
his pal were seen moving through the
woods, making for the railroad tracks,
evidently bent on catching a train which
was heard coming along. Armed with
doublebarreled shotguns, the officers
called to them to halt. Thrasher and
his pal did not obey the command and
four shots were fired on them. Neither
Thrasher nor his pal answered the fire,
but moved on swiftly toward the rail
road and were finally lost to sight. The
men who shot at Thrasher are certain
that he or his pal were wounded. One
or the other were seen to halt, and it
was thought he would drop, but he man
aged to get away.
MONEY FOR A NEW ROAD.
Citizens of Augusta Asked to Subscribe
Two Hundred Thousand Hollars.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 28.—A meeting
of the business men of Augusta was
held in the Ootton Exchange here to
hear the proposition of Mr. Edward A.
Richards of Atlanta in the interest of
the construction of the proposed Ten*
nessee, Georgia and Atlantic railroad.
Hon. Patrick Walsh was chairman of
the meeting.
Mr. Richards displayed a map show
ing the line of the proposed railroad,
and showed that when the road was
completed Augusta would reap rich ben
efits in freight rates on coal, cotton and
other products from and to the - west.
His proposition is that the people of Au
gusta subscribe enough toward the
building of the road to warrant the com
pany putting its headquarters and shops
in Augusta. Said Mr. Richards:
“The road is going to be built whether
this is done or not, but we desire to
place our shops and offices here, and if
the money is raised Augusta will reap
the benefit of having them here. We
want Augusta to subscribe $200,000 in
first mortgage bonds. Chattanooga has
subscribed $300,000 and Washington
$50,000. We want Augusta to subscribe
enough for the building of the line from
here to Athens, which will shorten the
route to Athens by 13 miles. The route
to Chattanooga will be very nearly a bee
line and the advantages gained will be
numerous.”
After Mr. Richards had finished set
ting forth the advantages of the enter
prise a committee was appointed to so
licit subscriptions. Before the meeting
adjourned a resolution was adopted re
questing the city council of Augusta
to grant to the Tennessee, Georgia and
Atlantic Railway company all required
rights of way and terminal facilities in
the city of Augusta.
The Newcastle Coal Strike Settled.
San Francisco, Aug. 28.—The New
castle coal strike is ended. The decision
of the strikers, according to Australia
mail advices, say the end of the strike
was reached on Aug. 18 when a major
ity of the lodges agreed to accept the
masters’ terms. They appear to have
submitted to the inevitable, and at last
accounts work was being fully resumed.
Plundered the British Vice Consulate.
London, Aug. 28.—A dispatch to The
Telegraph from Athens, giving an ac
count of the recent troubles in Crete,
says that the Moslems plundered the
offices of the British vice corn,'Mate nt
Heraklion.

Berlin, Aug. 28.—A dispatch to the
Vessische Zeitung from Constantinople
says that there was a general fusilade
and massacre near there. At the con
clusion of the riots many hundred dead
bodies were lying at Psamathia, at the
head of the Stamboul bridge. The
Turkish mob, armed with knives and
sticks, invaded the quarters of the Ar
menians, attacking the Armenian houses
and tossing their butchered victims out
of the windows. The police and militia
stood idly by in the streets, where
wagonloads of human bodies were lying

SEABOARD RESTRAINED.
Must Continue to Carry Express Matter la
North Carolina en Sundays.
Raleigh, Aug. 28. The Southern
Express company has brought an action
against the Seaboard Air Line in order
to fight the decision of the Asheville
magistrate that no express matter save
perishable articles can be transported in
North Carolina on trains on Sunday.
The Seaboard Air Line and Southern
railway have both issued notices to the
Southern Express company that orders
had been issued forbidding the carrying
of such express matter.
Last Sunday this order went, into
effect and was rigidly carried out.
Judge Robinson, upon application of
Fleming G. Dußignon of Georgia, and
F. H. Busbee of Raleigh, attorneys for
the Southern Express company, granted
an order restraining the Seaboard Air
Line from refusing to carry express
matter on Sunday.
It is set forth in the express compa
ny’s plea for a restraining order that it
has a contract with the Seaboard Air
Line for the transportation of express
matter on double daily trains including
Sundays, that the enforcement of the
order would be most disastrous to its
business and that carrying matter on
Sunday is not a violation of the state
code.
The case will be argued before Judge
Robinson at Goldsboro«Sept 10, and in
the meantime there will be no stoppage
of Sunday express traffic of any kind.
The silver punch bowl, weighing 400
ounces, the gift of many citizens of
North Carolina to the cruiser Raleigh,
has arrived here. Governor Carr will
make the arrangement for the presenta
tion, which will take place at Southport
in October. Captain Merrill of the
Raleigh, says his vessel can cross the
bar there. At first it was asserted that
the Raleigh could not enter Southport
harbon
Governor Carr has gratifying advices
from the penitentiary farms on the
Roanoke, where it was thought the cot
ton crop was ruined by the overflow.
The crop has improved wonderfully and
will probably be as large as last year.
The corn crop was ruined by the great
freshet.
Found Petroleum Wells In Alaska.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 28.—A. 11.
Eddy of Bartford, Wash., an ex-mem
ber of the state legislature, has returned
from Alaska, where he reports having
discovered two great petroleum wells in
the mountains not fur back from the
coast, and within about 100 miles of
Juneau. He brought samples of crude
oil, which he proposes to have tested.
There is a flow of 200 or 300 barrels
daily, Eddy alleges, from each well, and
he thinks it not improbable that this
section may rival the gre it oil fields of
Pennsylvania. '

emonies, the baud of the flagship New
York playing “The Star Spangled Ban
ner.” Shortly afterwards the crews of
all the ships were busily engaged in pol
ishing’and burnishing ceiling, vigorously
placing the finishing touches upon the
naval finery displayed in all its glory in
honor of Uncle Sam and preparatory to
welcoming Li Hung Chang, the “Grand
Old Man of China,” the statesman of
many titles, in an appropriate manner.
The sun was shining royally, a brisk
northwest breeze gently stirring the wa
ters of the upper and lower bay and J
over the encircling shores the grayisff
haze hang picturesquely enveloping
forts, wharves and green slopes in a
morning mantle most soothing to the
eye.
Shortly after the announcement, at 9
o’clock, that the St. Louis was sighted
east of Fire island, throngs of people
went by ferry or by other routes, .to
Fort Wadsworth, Fort Hamilton, Bay
Ridge, Quarantine, Tompkinsville and
other points from which the arrival and
greeting of the distinguished guest of
the nation could be witnessed to the best
advantage.
Other crowds flocked to the gallery,
ana still others stationed themselves at
an early hour in the vicinity of the
American line dock, where the traveler
was to land. It is doubtful if New York
harbor ever presented a grander sight
than that of Friday morning where an
chored was the fleet of 12 stately war
ships, the embodiment of grace and
strength and speed and offensive power.
The statesman’s review at Spit Head,
after he visited Queen Victoria at Os
born, was a fine display, 47 waships, 20
battleships and cruisers and 20 torpedo
boat destroyers being there alligned for
his inspection, but he never set eyes on
a finer fleet than that commanded by
Admiral Bunce. Each vessel repre
sented the very latest improvement in
everything.
VeAaels Composing' the Fleet*
The gallant fleet, which swung in
double column to the flood tide at 10
o’clock, cams pointing seaward, con
sisted of the following vessels: The In
diana, firstclass warship, 10,288 tons,
four 13-inch guns, eight 8-inch, six
4-inch quick firing and 30 smaller quick
firing guns; about 500 men.
The New York (flagship), firstclass
armored cruiser, six 8-inch, 12 4-inch’
quick firing and 16 smaller guns, car
rying 484 men.
The Massachusetts, firstclass warship,
10,288 tons, four 13-inch, eight 8-inch,
six 4-inch and 30 smaller quick firing
guns; about 500 men.
The Maine, armored cruiser, 6,682
tons, four 10-inch, six 6-inch and 20
smaller guns; 400 men.
The Texas, secondclass cruiser, 7,475
tons, one 8-inch, two 6-inch, eight 4-inch
and 20 smaller guns; about 500 men.
The Newark, cruiser, 4,003 tons, 12
6-inch and 17 smaller guns; 300 men.
The Raleigh, cruiser, 3,183 tons, .one
6 inch, ten o-inch quick firing gnus and
14 smaller quick firing guns; about 300
men.
The Montgomery, cruiser, 2.000 tons,
nine 5 inch quick firing guns and 17
smaller guns; about 200 men.
The Amphithrite, double turret mon
itor, 3,900 tons, four 10-inch, two 4-inch
quick firing and six smaller guns; 155
men.
The Terror, double turret monitor,
3,990 tons, four 10-inch and eight
smaller guns; 155 men.
In addition, placed at the disposal of 1
Major General Thomas H. Ruger, com
manding the eastern department of the
United States army, was the steel
cruiser Dolphin, two 4-lncli quick firing
and six smaller guns; about 150 men.
The Dolphin had on board General Ea
ger and staff and lay off Governor’s
island preparatory to steaming down to
meet the St. Louis at noon as the lat
ter was signalled in the lower bay.
Troops Stationed at the Pier.
At the American line pier were sta
tioned troops of cavalry of the United
States and the detached reserve. The
former were detailed to escort the great
Chinaman up Broadway to the Waldorf
hotel and the latter acting as a guard of
honor at the dock, which was appropri
ately decorated for the occasion, the
United States flag and the yellow stand
ard of China, With its black dragon
rampant, predominating. It was orig
inally intended to take Li Hung Chang
off the St. Louis at Quarantine and
convey him to some pier up town and
I nearer the Waldorf than the American
j line pier, which is down town, but the
Chinese minister represented to Gen
, eral Ruger that the age of the Chinese
statesman precluded any such feat of
1 strength and agility as clambering from
the St. Louis to the Dolphin, and so
this feature of the program was aban
doned.
On board the Dolphin with General Ru
ger were the Chinese minister, Rang, and
suite, ,the Chinese consul, a few specially
invited guests and a representative of
the Associated Press. Also hovering
about the bay were a number of small
sail and steam yachts, excursion boats
and tugs, loaded with passengers, which
were probably more interested in seeing
the ships of thesocailed “White Squad
ron” fire their 21-gun salutes than wit
nessing the arrival of the Chinese envoy.
The Chinese statesman has so many
titles that the officials here for a time
were in somewhat of a quandary as to
how to address him. Some of his titles
are:
Chief of the Chinese mission at the
coronation of Moscow, ambassador,
envoy extraordinary, special envoy,
senior guardian of the heir apparent,
prime minister of state, earl of the first
rank, first secretary Li Come Li Hung
Chang, and so on.
Eventually, however, it was decided
to address the Chinese statesman as
“your excellency” and so he will be offi
cially termed during his stay in the
United States.
The Chinese Statesman's Suite.
Li Hung Chang’s suite consists of
about 40 persons and he has with him
about 300 pieces of baggage, some of
them being of immense size. The sump
tuous coffin, which he carried with him
as a matter of precaution, has been sent
back to China, via the Suez canal, which
would seem to show that the traveler
has no fear of dying before reaching his
native land again.
Coming next t<j the great Chinese
statesman in rank of the party visiting
the United States is Li King Fong, or
Lord Li, the adopted son of Li Hung
Chang, who has been chief of the Chi
nese legation at London and minister to
Japan.
Then comes Le Fong Luh, the prin
cipal interpreter who was educated in
England and was chief of the naval
school at Tien-Tsin.
After him in rank come the four sec
retaries, Yu-Shih-Mei, Lien-Chun-King,
Lin-He-Shu and Li King-Shu, the. sec
ond son of Li Hung Chang.
The attaches are next in rank; they
are Chang Lieu, Hunk-Ki, Sieh Pang-
He, Pah Pin, Huang Ching, Lo Chung
Sung and Hung Chai Sang.
Also accompanying Li Hung Chang is
Dr. Irwin, an English physician. Major
Von Hanfieken of China-Japanese fame
and a force of valets, cooks, etc.
The Chinese flag is floating from the
Waldorf hotel, where Li Hung Chang
and his suite occupy the state apart
ments and have special kitchen accom
modations. The Dolphin steamed down
the bay with General Ruger and the
guests on board. Shortly after 10:30
she dropped anchor at Quarantine,
awaiting the arrival of the St. Louis.
Welcomed to the United States.
The St. Louis arrived off Quarantine
at 12:30 and was immediately boarded
by the government welcoming commit
tee from the Dolphin, who extended to
the Chinese statesman on behalf of
President Cleveland a welcome to tho
United States.
The St. Louis moved up the bay, sur
rounded by all kinds of gaily decorated
craft and with the Dolphin quite near
her, amid the music of a tremendous
chorus of steam whistles, giant crack
ers, etc. The American fleet’s first gun
in honor of the Chinese vis tor was
fired from the flagship New York and
continued until 21 shots had been fired.
New York was the only ship to fire a
salute, but the other ships dipped their
colors as the St. Louis passed. The
warships presented a magnificent ap
pearance and were watched with great
interest by the Chinese ambassador and
his suite from the position which they
occupied on the port side of the upper
deck of the American liner.
Li Hung Chang stood the voyage re
markably well and he had not been sea
sick. The St. Louis proceeded up the
harbor, greeted on all sides with the
tooting of whistles and guns and other
salutes, eventually reaching her dock at
1:10. But the party was unable to land
for some time owing to the necessary
delay in placing the ship along side her
wharf.
All kinds of craft were dashing here
and there, escaping accidents by mira
cles.
The Chinese standard was hauled
down from the American line at 1:50 p.
m., and the Chinese ambassador lauded
on the wharf and entered a carriage in
waiting. The procession left the pier
headed by a detachment of the Sixth
cavalry and having another detachment
of the same regiment in its rear.
The route was to West street and
Bowling Green, up Broadway to Fourth
street, then through Washington square
and up Fifth avenue to the Waldorf.
The route of the procession was guarded
by police and densely packed with spec
‘ators.

Serious State of Affairs.
New York, Aug. 28.—The Herald’s
correspondent in Rio de Janerio, Brazil,
telegraphs that the Italian representa
tive has protested against the outrages
committed upon citizens of his country,
and has asked that prompt reparation
be made. It is believed that Italy sent
to the Brazilian government an ulti
matum covering all the questions at
issue. The greatest secrecy is observed
by all parties concerned, but it is under
stood that Italy asks what Brazil in
tends to do and fixes a time within
which an answer to the ultimatum may
be made. The Italian government sup
ports the course taken by Consul
Brichanteaux.
At a cabinet meeting in Rio Janeiro
there was a sharp debate as a result of
which the minister of the interior re
tired. The minister of foreign affairs,
Carvalho, insisted upon his dismissal.
Three steamers, carrying Italian im
migrants, arrived at Rio Janeiro, and
the Italian legation asked for an official
guarantee of their safety.

chamber criticizing Minister Carvalho.
There wag an angry dispute, which cul
minated in Dr. Carvalho’s slapping the
deputy in the face.

deputies was held at which the dis
missal of the minister was accepted.
The government is seeking to reach a
peaceful solution of the difficulty.
The minister of foreign affairs, Car
valho, had a conference with President
Moraes on the serious state of affairs
existing between the Brazilians and
resident Italians. Before the foreign
minister parted with the president, he
assured the latter that there was an in
creasing probability of a peaceful solu
tion of the existing differences, and he
advised a continuance of the govern
ment’s present policy.
Unimportant meetings of citizens con
tinue to be held in the capital.
During a conflict between Brazilians
of the Jacobin faction and Italians on
the Minas estate, in Pessauha, two men
were killed and 11 wounded, some of
them seriously.

which insults were heaped upon the
Italians.

Want Italy to Employ Force.
Rome, Aug. 28. —The newspapers here
make vigorous demands that the Italian
government insist upon reparation from
Brazil for the outrages on Italian sub

ing that unless Brazil grants Italy’s de
mands, Italy ought to insist upon it by
employing force.
