into the air. an old gentleman in the
crowd exclaimed:
"That Is the way he will fall In No vein-*

Mr Bryan took notice of the Incident.
••ring:
' I *l9 not ohjrct to that poster being put

the question in, when was he right? lie
has been on both sides of every question.
Now , which side was he on when he was
right?"
Proceeding with Ms speech. Mr Bryan
made an appeal especially directed to the
college students, urging them to stand
out against what h* denominated th* In
dustry.t despotism of th* trusts. ll** also
presented hfs well-known views concern
ing rh** lncr**use of the army and the ac

He proceeded for some time without any
Interruption, but at last a young man
standing In the audience, but separated
from the mass of students In from of Mr
Bryan, asked him for in explanation of
his attitude tn the quitter of the ratifica
tion of the Par's treaty.
Mr Bryan replied:
"You have asked me a question. I
want to ask you one. I am going to an
swer yours Will you answer mine?
What Is your plan?"
The young man ”J haven't got any. I
©m down here open to your conviction.
You are talking to all of us. You came
here espev'lally to convince us ”
Mr Bryan: "Yes. and 1 am mighty glad
I have found a man open to conviction
and I hope you .ire not like the Scotch
woman who said she woe open to convic

man who ran convince me ' ”
Mr Brvsn then made his customary ex

treaty, and from this time on proceeded
to the ihl of hfs speech without further

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 19 —"A man. who j
knowingly or unknowingly, will circulate i
e.anders about another man la not lit to
be a constable." aald Senator Hanna In
hla speech at the Oliver House In Lin- j
coin tonight, referring to William J. !
Bryan.
In the speech, which waa one of the
longeat delivered on hie present lour, Ben
nior Hanna bitterly denounced Mr Bryan .
for what he termed "hla attempts to
slander me in my own state." This Is
Mr. Itryan'e home town, and the speech ‘
of Senator Hanna was received with
mingled cheers a net hisses.
Senator Hanna referred to the charges
which Mr. Hanna said had been recently
made.by Mr l!ry.m that thr Republican
campaign mnnuger* had entered upon ex- j
tensive systems o' bribery In order to re- !
cure the election\>f the Republican ticket.
"In regard to that statement," aald
Senator Hanna, "before an audience In j
Lincoln, I want to hurl It back In his
teeth ami tell him It Is as false as hell
When It comes down to personalities I am
willing to aland before the American peo
ple, on my record as a
buslnesa man and let htm
aland on his. I have been In business
forty years; I am employing 6.000 men.
pay the highest wage*, treat them like
men and they all respect me. and when
Mr. Bryan or any other man charges
upon me—nd I am willing to appropriate
It all. as I am chairman of the board of
manager* of thU Republican campaign—
any such methods as those. 1 propose, as
I said, to hurl It back and denounce him
as a demagogue-gn his own town."
The ••Labor t rosher" I barge.
Ben a tor Hanna then referred to Mr.
Bryan's alleged reference to him as a
“labor cruaher," ma le first during bit
senatorial campaign in IW7, and con
tinued:
"I want to remind every man that
man. who. In a contest sell I drag an hon- I
orable name Into the mire for the sake !
of making votes, le not worthy to be con
sidered for the high office of President
of the United State*. And I believe that
there are thousands of people In tho
stats of Nebraska who resent It as an
Insult to their Intelligence, and their
ideas of fair play, and Justice; because
when a man has the opportunity through j
newspapers or from the public rostrum j
to make too trifling to be |
denied. and t hose charges go
undented, and enter into the nvin<k< of
she. people whom tho man so charged lias
no opportunity to see. I say any man who
will use those tactics to further hts own
selfish ambition la not At to be a consta
ble."

In hi* New York trip a* teaching fallacies,
and David It. Hill came In for a touch-up
on hi* connection with corporation* and j
trusts. He sakl, after further referring to j
trusts, that the Republican |*irty had
made promises relative to the matter of
trust* and would keep it* promise*.
"81* year* ago.” he aid. there sit free

He claimed that not one of Rryan'a

nothing of. Look back four year* and
see what we had The former*, miners

Washington. Oct. 19 -The Chinese gov
ernment hn# made a request upon 8* '-
rotary diav that negotiations begin to
morrow at Pekin, looking to a settlement
of the Chtneec question
It is sakl at the Btnte Department that
Sir Conger's Instructions are sufficient
In breadth to enable him to proceed with
negvdlatlon* to-morrow without further
orders from the department.
However. a the Chinese counter pro
posals received yeeterdoy through Mr.
Conger appear to warrant further Instru'-
tiona from the President nnd Secretary
Hay. Mr. Conger was wired to-day nn
outline of the course he Is to pursue In
furtherance of the plans already commit
ted to hla care.
For obvious reasons Ihe fltate Depart
ment ha* decided not to make public th
text of throe supplementary Instructions
But It may i>e elan.l that our government
doro not rrxafd the Chinese leister nt
sufficient to meet the neeeasltles of the
ease. It is not Indicated In what respcc:
they fall short The Chinese agree, ac
cording to their note, to express rexret.
admit llabliltlee for nnd yield
anything In the way of treaties'. In con
sideration of the withdrawal of the
troops and an armistice.
It Is Inferred that our objection Is based
on a lack of guarantees for the present
safety of American clllxens. atul the lega
tion In Chita as well as for the protec
tion of missionary and trade Interests in
the future. It cannot be gathered that
the matter of the sufficiency of the pun
ishment* to he meld nut to the Chinese
offending officials enters Into this objec
tion.
