BRYAN WAS WELCOMED HOME. RECEIVED AS OVATION OS HIS RE TI'RN TO LINCOLN. The Democratic Nominee Delivered n Speech of Sonic Length—Told Why He I.eaveN Lincoln to Meet l*crsons* Instead of Having Them Come to Him—lllnntrntions Given by the Speaker of His View* on I m perin 1 lain. Lincoln Neb., Aug. 16.—Lincoln tendered a handsome welcome to Mr. Bryan to-day upon tU return to his home here after an absence of ten days. He reached the city at 3:20 p. m . and was met at the depot by a large concourse of peopl? who esccr e:i him to his residence and who, after listening to a speech there and shak ing hards wi h both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, only dispersed to meet in the evening with many others in a reception given in ti e slate < a;.itoi grounds, which partook of the nature of an official function. Mr. Bryan spoke at some length in his reply to the address of welcome, first ex pressing his and Mrs Bryan’s apprecia tion of the good will of their townspeo ple of all parties, and explaining why he went away from home to meet people instead of having them come to Lincoln to see him. On this latter point he said: “I have sometimes been criticized for going away from home instead of stay ing here and having people come lo see me, but I have felt, in the first place, that people could not come here as well as they could go to Canton. Lincoln is not in the center of a thickly populated country as Canton is, and out people have not the means of traveling without cost, as they have in some parts of the coun try under some circumstances, and 1 have felt that it is a great deal cheaper for me to go and see the people than for me to compel them to come and see me. (Ap plause).” Mr. Bryan then discussed national Is sues at some length, saying: “Not long ago a Republican was chid ing one of our people with the fact that the Filipinos were looking to a Demo cratic election for the securing of their rights and the Republican said ‘Are you not ashamed that the Filipinos are expect ing nid from the Democrats?’ nnd this man replied to the Republican: ‘Do you know of any people in all the world who are fightng for liberty who are looking to the Republican party for help at this time?’ Mr. Bryan then explained the reasons ot his party for an apparent change of issues, describing the rise of the silver Question and going on to say: ‘‘But the Republican party has brought into this campaign a question more im portant than any question that merely in volves the system of taxation, the indus trial system or the financial system. The Republican party attacks the fundamental principles upon which our government rests, and when the Republican party strikes at the very foundation of free government, it injects into the campaign an issue of overshadowing importance. know human nature, and we know that if this nation reaches a point where it is willing to deny the universal appli cation of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, it will not be long till thos-o principles will not be applied in our own country, and I want to warn those who toil that whenever in this country we begin to neglect the prin ciples of self-government, the poor will be the first to suffer. Those who to-day say that the dollar of trade is superior to the rights of the Filipinos, will be saying in a few* years, that money is more import ant than man, and that those only who have, great wealth, have sufficient at stake to have a voice in the government here. (Great applause.) “Our contention is that, our government is built upon the doctrine that all men are created equal. Destroy this doctrine and there is no foundation upon which a free government can be built. If all men are created equal, if they are en dowed with inalienable rights, if govern ments are instituted among men and de rive their just powers from the consent of the governed, then this nation has no more right as a nation to claim the own ership of 8,000,000 Filipinos than one man has a right to claim the ownership of an other man. The Republican party, which was not willing that a black man should be sold for a thousand dollars, now claims that a Filipino can be bought for two dollars and fifty cents. The principle is exactly the same.” (Great applause.) TALKED AUDIT LYNCHING. Colored Mon Held n “Von-J’nrdsnn Conference.** Boston, Mam., Au*r. 16 —The e was rath er a small gathering to-day in the North Russell Street African M. E.

Walker made a strong for the negroes to assert their manhood. “It is a terrible thing.” he said, “to con template the condition of the negro race to-day, outraged and murdered by the people of the South, hut the South alone is not to blame. Ninety per cent, of these murders ctould have been averted, had the I T nited States government acted. This condition exists in the South, and it is gradually working North. Murders of colored men occur in the South to-day and in New York to-morrow. VETERANS OBJECT. Those in New Orleans Don’t Want Gordon to Attend.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1000. BELIEVE THEY ARE SAFE. Continued from First Paffc*. order that there might be negotiations with the commanders on the spot. The reply to this communication is an emphatic denial of the request to atop the troops. "We are advised by Minister Conger that the attacks by imperial troops upon the legations in Pekin have not ceased.” said this government. ‘‘While these attacks continue, we cannot stop the advance of our forces toward Pekin.” At the same time, the American reply contains copies of instructions to Gem Chaffee, which Secretary Adee in his note says would, if the attacks cease seem to provide tor all the action required under the circumstances stated by Karl Li in his dispatch. The authority given to ChnlYee uontemplntes the acceptance by the Chinese government of the conditions laid down in the American, reply of Aug. 10: “If the Chinese authorities commu nicate willingness to deliver the ministers and persons under their protection to the relief column at Pekin, under arrange ments which you consider safe, you are authorized 10 make and carry out the arrangements in concert with other com manders without referring it here.” And liu* instructions make it plain to Gen. Chaffee that the question of the place of delivery, whether it shall be inside Pekin or at the outer gate, is left to him and ther other generals who are on hand. It will be seen from this that the General in command of the American forces has had ample authority to act during the past two days, and that if he reached Pekin on the 14th, as seems likely, there was nothing to stand in. the way of nego tiations for the prompt turning over of the besieged legation people. The authorities here feel positive that the rescue ha c already taken place. They have really had no doubt since the ap pointment of Li that eventually the rescue would take place by the Chinese practi cally accepting the American conditions. A notable fact revealed by these instruc tions is that the face of the 3.000 native Christians has at no time been lost sight of. It will be noticed that the instructions to Chaffee refer to the ministers and the persons under their protection. Tht3 means not only the legation forces, but the. native Christians who would, all of the ministers have reported, be left *o undoubted massacre if abandoned by the relief forces. They are to be taken care of just as are the others. There is. of course, a great deal of anxiety in official circles over the situation because every body is now watching for the news of the relief. Not until that comes will the authorities breathe easy . At- to-day’s meeting of the cabinet there was naturally some discussion of what would follow the successful accom plishment of the relief. Of course nothing has been deckled, because no definite plan would be fixed in advance of complete knowledge of the conditions. It is certain, howox'er. that with Minister Conger and the American contingent safely in his hands, there will ho nothing for the Amer ican commander to do but to withdraw from Pekin. The question of indemnity must be left to and p’orraiU channels It is probable, however, that the American troops after telieving Tien Tsin, will remain there un til the negotiations relative to Indemnity shall have bein completed. A cabinet min ister said af er to-day’s meeting that no determination whatever hzm been reached as* to the course to be pursued after the minsters have ixen securd. As to the lu ure government of China he indicat and that whatever influence this govfrnmen might be able to exert would be cn the line of preventing the dismem berment of the country. He guve it as his individual ot Inior, moreover, that China would retrain intact and under Chinese rule. England, J?ipan and the United States are together in their advocacy' of Chinese av.tonomy. and the jealousy of other Powers would, he thought, contrib ute to a gtn ral understanding ihat there shall be no division of Chinese territory, despiie oil the talk of German. Russian and French plots to increase their hold ings in that end of the worll. BESIEGED SINCE JUNE 23. Wn Hu tided In a Htspateh From Con ner —Report of the Result* of the Chinese Attacks.

Berlin, Aug. 16.—This morning Count von Waldersec. accompanied by the Coun tess and by Vice Admiral von Walderaoe, his brother, visited the United States em bassy and asked John E. Jackson, secre tary of the embassy, to present his best compliments to President McKinley. He spoke in the highest terms of the Ameri can troops, saying: “I know what they can do nnd will consider it a great honor to have such gallant soldiers under my command.” Before leaving Hanover yesterday he made a speech to the Workingmen’s Liedei tafel, saying that he hoped to finish his task and return Boon to Hanover. In his response to the address of the munici pal delegation, ho said: With trust in God and in the firm, cheerful courage of my troops. I hope, to carry out the plans and to overcome all difficulties.” The pres* points out that Count von Wal dersee is talking too much, and advises him to talk less. The Koetnsche Volks zeitung bid* him “follow Moltke’s exam ple and talk with the sword." Several Journals have dubbed him “Fe4t Mar shal.” In the course of a conversation at the office of the general staff to-dov he said: ‘ The general situation for the allies is unfavorable. Even if Pekin is token or is about to be taken, the allies are every where on the defensive, except in this ad vance upon Pekin. It is necessary to adopt the strategical offensive throughout China.” His idea seems to be to have the allies act in conjunction with the Russian force® in the provinces of Kirin and Schong King, by way of Mukden. Count von Waldersec will leave at noon to-morrow for Cassel. where farewell fes tivities will be held on Saturday. These will consist of a military parade and a banquet to be attended by a number of generals. The banquet will also take the form of a celebration of the seventieth birthday of Emperor Francis Joseph. The Protestant Mission has received a Canton cable, saying that the missions at Tchi (Thin, Namon and Luk Hang have been destroyed. 1101 CHET WOULDN’T ACT.

That they vote for those can didates for Congress, in their respective districts, who will oppose this policy of imperialism. Support for Brran. “Third. While we welcome any other method of opposing the re-election of Mr. McKinley, we advise direct support of Mr. Bryan as the most effective means of crushing imperialism. We are convinced of Mr. Bryan’s sincerity and of his earnest purpose tc secure to the Filipinos their Independence. His position and the declar ations contained in the platform of his party on the vital issue of the campaign, moet our unqualified approval. “We recommend that the executive com mittees of the American Antl-Imperinlist League and its allied leagues continue and extend their organizations, preserving the Independence of the movement, and that they tako the most active part possible In the pending political campaign “Until now the policy which has turned the Filipinos from warm friends to bitter enemies, which has slaughtered thousands of them and laid waste their country, has been the policy of the President. After the next eleotion it becomes the policy of every man who votes to re-elect him nnd who thus becomes, with him. responsible for every drop of blood thereafter shed. The following resolution, proposed by W. S. Houlen of Chicago, was added to the platform as reported: A Word for tle Negroes. “Resolved, in declaring that the prin ciples cf the Decloratlon of Independence apply to all men. this congress means to Include the negro race in AmeriJa as well as the Filipinos.

Aug 14.—Armsnd Smith of this city was before Alderman Donohue to-day on the charge of at tempted murder. There are elements of humor In the case, but Smith does not i see them. A few day* ago. with his wife, he went to Lake Wlnola, and there camped In a tent along the ehor# Everything went beautifully until Monday night, when a rainstorm drove a lot of flies and mos quitoes tnstde the tent. The Invasion oc curred Just a* Smith was falling asleep, and his bald Ueod was a shining mark. It wo* hot, end he became hotter, and after o couple of hours' vain effort with a polmleaf fan to keep the files from his head, he conceived a brilliant scheme for catching them. Acting on the idea, he epreud molasses thickly over the fan and placed It on the pillow- between himself and his wife It sin effective In thnt it caught flies, hut when his wife rolled over, her foe# struck the fan, end It stuck to her. She awoke with a scream to find the molasses In her eyes, noee and mouth, and dashed out of the tent, shrieking murder.

Once more las the old superstition bean fulfilled according to which royal or im perial couples who make the pilgrimage to Jtru.-a em are overtaken by misfortune. For the t aw king and quern of Italy visi ted Jerusalem together Just bn da>e prior to the nKn*rinnt|on of Humbert, which plunged thorn Into mourning. It may be remembered that the vlrtt of the Archduke and .Archduchess Charlea Louis Of Austria was followed by the sud den death of the former, who as second brother of Emperor Francis Joseph stood next In the line of succession to the crown. Another Imperial couple whose pil grimage to the Hrjy Lund was followed hy equally disastrous results were th* criwn princess of Austria, for th# qttarrsl which culminated | n Rudolph’s tretglo death at Ma>frllng fol'owed immerlately on ther return o Vienna from Palestine. 1 rlnce Frederick of Seto.swlg-Holsfeln. uncle of the present German empreos, af ter marrying a New York girl, MJ* S Ma-y L e, took his bride on a honeymoon trip to rile Holy Land, and died suddenly af er a few hours' Illness on his way home, hi* w 1 'low subsequently becoming the wife of Count Wokiersce. one of the most dis tinguished commanders to-day of the Ger man army The visit of Emperor Will lain s oldest sister and her husbsnd to .Lr.isalem, atte-del by Baron and Bar on, s Kotz, h'ud aa its nitural conse quence the anonymous ktter scandal Which forred Priicrss Charlotte to trans fer her homo from Berlin to Breslau, while Baron Kotge, lwsides having to fight Innumerable duels and bring a cripple fop life, had lo undergo a long period of im prisonment. The Kaiser’s own pilgrimage was foto lowed hy a whole series of misfortunes, which Included the Empress's breaking her tog and becoming sfrlou.sly 111, th* death of h< r moth r and the singularly tragic suicide of Prince Alfred of Coburg, who had been confided to the paternal care and control of the Kaiser at Berlin by hi < own parents, whose only son he wna. Bcnetal analogous cases could be cited, and It to probably due to this that the vast majority of the Imperial nnd royal pc sonages who visit the Holy Land make a point of doing so a’one, leaving their huahands or thfir wlvr* at home. It to thus that the late Empress of Austria, the late Emperor Frederick of Germany, [ King I.e qrold of Belgium, the Prince of j Wales, the Ernie ror of Austria, the Em preps Eugenio, Prince Henry of Prussia and n number of oth"rs have been able to make their p Igrlmage to the Holy liand without litnt overtaken by subse quent misfortune.
