Chicago, June 13.—William Jennings Bryan was in Chicago to-day and the cen ter cf much political discuss! n. all of it beating cn what may ho done at the Demo‘ratio National Convention next month. Mr. Bryan saw scores of j> oplc during the day. He talked "business" with Sen ator Jo:ie§, chairman of the Naional Committee; J. G.

The platform to be adopted at Kansas City aid the vice presidential question, especially the Towne-Populist ncmira ion angle cf it, were considered a: some Pngih. On the question of platfbrm, the trend of discussion forecasted to seme extent the differences of opinion which may arise at Kansas City, oven among the loyal Bryan men. The question is whether the money plank and other troublesome legacies from 1896 shall be handled by .reaffirmation of the Chicago platform in n lump, or whether some planks of the 1596 platform, and es pecially the money plank, should be re written. Mr. Bryan favors rewriting much of the 18S6 platform. ■Senator Jones, accoid.ng to credible ad vices, advocates reaffirmation of the C hi cago platform as u whole, and then a quick trans.tion to the newer issues of im pel - alh-m and trusts. N3r. Ilryun Reiterate*. “I say, as I have before so many times," Mr. Bryan said when asked what he thought of the platform and issues this year wofild or shouH be, "that 1 think the three big questions before us are money, trusts and imperialism. The money question, of course, includes the quest! n cf silver and of paper motley; the question of Imperialism includes militarism and the policy of which our national ndminis tiation’s work in the Philippines and at titude on the Boer question are samples. "I believe the principles adopted in the •platform of 1893 were adopted as a part of the party creed, never to be departed from. 1 do not think they should be or can be departed from this year. That plat form must, however, be added to as new issues arise. As I do net expect to be a delegate to the national convention, I cannot presume to discuss the form in which these principles shall be stated in the platform to be adopted <here. "I cannot undertake ro soy what will be the paramount issue. No man can. Qne thinks one question is the biggest and another man thinks another is. Tin* IMiiEppinc Question. "What do I Chink should be done in the Philippines? I think this country’ should tell those people that we are there only for the purpose of establishing a stable government, and when we have done so w should turn the islands over to the people there and protect them airainn foreign aggression as we have protected the South American republics. "The conditions ahead nnd the plan of campaign? Why, conditions are much more /favorable than they were at this lime in 1893. The Pi publican party is on the defensive. It will talk prosperity, of course, but we’ll be willing to take the votes of alt the people who have not had their share of prosperity, and leave them the votes of the people who have had their share. "I should say our plan of campaign will he to carry every’ state in the Union. Can not carry all of them? I wouldn’t speak so harshly’ of the people of any state as to say that I thought the peopl? there In tended to support the Republican party." ISSUES’ AND THE SITUATION. Statement* Made by Col. Bryan and Chairman Joue*. Chicago, June 13.—The foil wi g s ate menis- by William J. Bryan and Chairman Jones of the Democratic National Commi!- tee w ill be published by’ the Tr bune to morrow : "Money, imperialism and trusts will be the three great issues in the Democratic platform, money including silver and paper. Imperialism carries mii iiuii-m and the Boer war. Th rt contest in Sofuh Africa is one where impellalism fis now specifically applied, and therefore it concerns the people of this country. The Chicago platform will bo reaffirmed and the new issues that nave arisen added to its principles. 1 have not been asked by Senator Jones or anybody else to drop 16 to 1. William J. Bryan." "I believe ihat Col. William J. Bryan will carry every state he curried in 1896. and moreover will carry Kentucky and Maryland. He has a splendid chance in Indiana, Ohio and New York. The great figh* will be in New York and Ohio nnd we have gained in both states since 1896. The l’aciflc coast is stronger to-day for Col. Bryan fhan in 1896. Kansas and Col oredo we will carry and the situation in the two Dakotas is most encouraging. "James K. Jones." SOLDIERS KILLED CIVILIAN. Ilml Horn Ordered by nn Officer to Recover Hi* Suord.
