LINCOLN, Nob., Nov. 3.—Mr. and Mrs. I Bryan reached their home in this city yesterday after an absence of several weeks’ duration. In order to spend the day with their children, it was necessary for Mr. Bryan to depart from the rule which he has invariably followed 8since his nomination, cf not traveling ■ on Sunday. They came from Council y Bluffs, where they spent Saturday night with friends, on their special train, covering the distance in little over an hour. There were no stops ot demonstrations on the way, as it was not known in advance when the homecoming would occur. There was quite an assemblage of personal friends at the Lincoln station, and the candidate and his wife were welcomed by many cordial handshakes. Immediately upon their arrival they were ushered into a carriage and driven dir(>ctly to their own residence. Mr. Bryan might have ieen anything but a presidential candiate, so quietly was the day spent after 'eaohiiv home. There were a lew eallrs, but they consisted for the most lart of fellow townsmen, and none of them spent more than sufficient time to inquire after the personal welfare of Mr. Bryan and his wife. Mr. Bryan confessed to all that he felt the need of securing a good day’s rest. DELEGATION ARRIVES ON SUNDAY.

New York.

"Among the accounts that furnished us with the ni' >sr amusement was that published in The Diariode la Manna concerning an attack upon Artimesa a few days ago. I hear that the same account was si lit to the United States and published as authentic news. Still after my visit to New York, Philadelphia aiiii Washington I feel that the readers of American papers have learned to discern the difference between Spanish and Cuban news. "At Artimesa the fight was well earned on and some ot our heavy guns were used to splendut advantage. We did not attempt to pass the trocha, for it was not a part of General Maeeo's programme Artimesa was quite strongiv entrenched, and over -t.ouo men were there garrisoned. Maeeo did not attack with Ins enure fore.-, but desired to give practice to the artillery. The enemy was amazed. I am sure, for during nearly two hours' time there was no responst from the town. "General Mace. > personally directed the attack. We retired in good order about midnight, after the artillery of the enemy had shelled our position. I do not know the enemy’s loss, but our killed numbered 80. Wo loft no deinl on the field, but carried all the budtes away. Among rite killed was Muj r Perez, who you know well, and who has been one of our best officers. “Maeeo's force docs not now amount to so much cavalry, but it has been increased over 2.800 since the arrival ot tho two expeditions.” CUBAN RELIEF AGENT. A. I>. Power., Who 1)1.appeared From ChitMi;; 0 * 1 i Politic! ami I * Demented. Chicago, Nov. 2.—Albert U. Powers, manager of the Cuban relief bureau of this city, lias been found demented in Tennessee. News of his discovery was telegraphed to the Chicago police yesterday by Colonel .1. D. Powers of Owensboro, Ky., father of the man whose disappearance from Chicago a month ago mystified alike the police and friends of the missing manager. Colonel Power’s telegram contained no details of his son's condition or wanderings, and does not name the city in which he was found. The disappearance of young Powers, just at the launching of the ambitious project of the Cuban relief bureau, gave rise to a belief at first that he had been

muruered.

Colonel J. D. Powers, father of the young man, is the president of the FirstNational bank of Owensboro, Ky. BiHinarcVs Organ Again Talking.

High Compliment American IVopta.

Baltimore, Nov. 2.—Cardinal Gibbons in his sermon at the cathedral yesterday took occasion to touch lightly and in a thoroughly impartial way upj on the approaching presidential election

| and its results.

{ He spoke in highest termsof the many good qualities of the American people, such as their fundamental belief in reJ ligion, their love of fair play, their intelligence and their courage. He then i went on to say: "We are on the eve of i a prt.. identiak election, both great purtics eoum.'idm;; for the mastery. They are leaving hC "tone unturned in Older to be sue •ssfu.'- A lorm^ner looking on an witnessing violent denunciation that one party is .JM'' r ' n K against the other and the terrible p'redictious in regard to the future of the Country it the other party were to win, would think that we were on the verge t*

dreadful revolution.

“On next Wednesday morning he would find that it was but a bloodless revolution, one effected not by bullets, but by ballots. A man is to be chosen to the highest |>ositiou in the gift of his fellows and important issues are at stake. Yet on next Wednesday morning the minority will bow gracefully to the mujorif. The country will survive and the nation will flourish and be perpetuated. Is this not good evidence that we arc subject to the law? And the people that bow so to civil law are not

the kind to reject divine law.

“The Catholic church adopts itself to all kinds of nu n and all systems of governient but she is most at home with us. Siie exists under the most absolute sway, but sac blooms like the rose under flic tree of liberty. Nowhere ts she so free as here. Hue holds m her hands tinscale of even-handed justice between capital and labor, the employer and the employe. \\ Idle she is in sympathy with the toiling masses she knows how to curb their prejudices. In all times of political excitement her power for good is potent and shesavs to all peace,’
