public expense account -will naturally tend to curtail waste of time and bring things to a focus without unnecessary delay. Still. Atlantic City Is a pleasant spring resort anU there may be no overwhelming desire to set away. a r ' Representative Overstreet ana Mrs. Ovrstreet left Washington for Atlantic City to-day. They will be at Hadden Hall Hotel, which will be the committee's headquarter. There has been a great deal of fun poked at Assistant Secretary Melklejohn. of the "War Epartment, because of the fact that the King of Sweden has undertaken to decorate the American secretary, with the Order of the Sword and to confer upon him the honors cf knighthood. Mr. Melklejohn tak?s the criticisms good-naturedly; Bays he has no knowledge whatever as to why he has been thus honored by King Oscar, but, inasmuch as congressional sanction will be necessary before he ran accept the insigna, it will doubtless be some time before he will le formally constituted a knight of Sweden. In the meantime ilr. Melklejohn continues to be cne of the most efficient of the federal official, irver im-o the outbreak of the war with Spain, now happily at an end, he nas )ef kfpt almost constantly at his desk. Unlikf many of the clerks who are anxious to grab their hats when the clock strikes 4. the assistant secretary can be found at bis desk at almost any time, and he is always ready to act promptly upon any lu.itter which comes before him. A case frustrating this arose the other day when a telegram was received by a newspaper correspondent here late in th evening from a b'iin Francisco paper in which it was stated that i soldier of a Kansas regiment, who Jiad been shot in the head at Manila, had len brought on a transport to the Presidio, where he was in the hospital In charge of jrmy surgeon. It was stated that his condition was of such a critical character that h. surgical operation of a very delicate nature was necessary to save his mind and possibly his life. The army medical men would not permit an expert to perform' an operation in the hospital. Therefore, It was requested that his prompt discharge bo secured in order that he might have proper treatment. Adjutant General Corbin, when een, said that until he heard further details r( the case from th Presidio he could do nothing. Mr. Melklejohn was then appealed to. The tclgcam was shown him and he promptly acquiesced In the request, and. turning to the correspondent, said: "If you can uje a typewriter, sit down and I will clctate a telegram to the commanding otHcrr ordering this man's discharge at once." The correspondent, unfortunately, was not amlliar with the writing machine, whereupon the secretary said: "Then let me have It." and sitting at the typewriter he rattled th keys for a few moments and then landed one copy of the dispatch to the correspondent and illed the other one away. "You had better hurry to the telegraph ofiice with this," he said, "as an hour or two nay make a great deal of difference to that poor fellow." That was a sample of the way George Melklejohn does business. He Invariably reaches a conclusion with surprising rapidity, and it Is seldom that his conclusions are wrong. Recent consolidations of a number of minor railroad companies In this district and the installation of the underground ystem of electrical conduits promises to give Washington, within the next two years, the most complete urban railroad service In the world. It is estimated that by the time the work now under way Is completed there ulll be something like fifty miles of underground electric railroad lines within the city of Washington and not a f-Ingle line of trolley line within the corporate limits of the capital. Under the law, which was vigorously fought by all of the railroad companies for years, the overhead trolley Is absolutely prohibited and this has resulted In giving- the capital what it should have a perfect system of transportation between points without the unsightly trolley poles nd overhead wires. While the underground service is enormously expensive, the fact that it has paid the railroads to put It In seems to be demonstated by the quotations of the stock of the first road to take this . advanced step. Five years ago that stock was a drug on the market at J30 a share. To-day it is quoted at 22T. and there Is very little of It for sale at that price, because one of the newly-formed syndicates has flcreed to take all the outstanding stock at 233 and pay for it next September. Within the next thirty days it Is thought that orders will have been Issued for the mustering out of every volunteer soldier in the service of the United States. Orders to this effect will be transmitted at once to General. Otis in Manila and to General

lirocke iri Cllha although there r verv tavr volunteers still remaining on the latter .Inland. The President has not yet determined whether or not it will be necessary to call Into service the 25.000 new volunteers authorized under the army reorganization Mil, but it Is thought this will be done before the formal order mustering out all of .those now in the service shall have been rromulglted. In that event men who are now in Oie service in foreign countries, especially In Manila, and who desire to regain thVein. will be permitted to re-enllst and willLoe paid the regular travel pay from Manila lo the United States proper, which will amount to the snug little sum of something like for each enlisted man, so that there will be an additional inducement for these men to re-enlist, especially as once r-nllsted If they are ordered back to the .United States, their expenses will t paid by the general government. Commander-in-chief W. C. Johnson, of the G. A. R., has extended an invitation to .President McKinley to attend the National Encampment of the organization to begin Philadelphia on Sept. 4. Commander Johnson was accompanied by Oapt. K. It. .Monfort. of Cincinnati; Cap. W. II. ArmV strong, of IndlarapolK -and Capt. George 'JI. Patrick, of Montgomery, Ala. The -Vresident said that if he were in Washingt)n at the time he would attend the eni4mrnient. It is possible the Vr.tsMen; will oevtn the West. Ills ir.temton now is to "!aJc his Western trip In July or Augur;. .LJje !hou1 .o l" August he may not lejWrTa until some time In September. . The President has designated Col. Samuel S.

dered to return from London. Colonel Sum ner was appointed bnjradier general at the beRln-iir.p of the Spanish-American war and sewed with distinction at the battle of San tlago. Secretary Long ha3 instructed the commandant of the Mare Island navy yard to procure metallic caskets and to send them o':t cn the Hadgrr to Apia to receiw he remains of Lieutenant Lonsdale and Fns'sn Monaphan. of the Philadelphia, whl:h will bo returned to the United States for burial. A cablegram received at the State Department from the United States legation at ttosota states that the Colombian kovernment has Just mailed a drait Kr ?10.O in satisfaction of the claim of the l'anima Star and Herald for damages sustained through the suppression of that n-iw-spaper by the decree of the Colombian KOvernni nt. Director Merrlam hopes to have supervisors in all the S'A census districts of the United States selected within tho next month or six weeks and to Induce the Pres ident to give them recest appointments. This procedure la in the interest of better service and will not cost the government any more money than if the appointments are not made until Congress meets next December. The census law provides that supervisors shall be paid $l.wu for their services, and Director Merriam's intention Is to drill them thoroughly in their work. Senators and Coneressmen have been asked to make their reommendatJoruj. and are re quested to do this as quickly as possble. lhe work of the Census liureau is now about three months ahead of the prelimin ary work, a." compared with the eievemn census organization, and Director Mcrrlam desires to keep In advance. Thomas W. Davis, vice president of the Mine Workers' Association, resumed hl3 testimony before the industrial commission to-day. The Introduction of machinery had increased the profits of operators, he said, and leiencd the powers of strikers. The miners had derived little benefit. He was severe in his condemnation of company tenements, which he said were universally poor and the rent high. Benjamin James, a member of the executive committee of the United Mine Workers' Association, who worked with a pick in the Lehigh valley a year ago, at the afternoon session testified that 70 per cent, of the miners In the anthracite coal regions were unable to upeak English. They were Poles, Slavs, Hungarians and Lithuanians. Most of them hid been brought over during the kreat strike of 1S73. He complained that miners were compelled to pay more than the market price for articles purchased at company stores, and also of the "docking" system In the anthracite region. 0 General Greely. chief signal officer, received a call to-day from a gentleman who desired to furnish the government with a pystem of wireless telegraphy for use in the Hawaiian Islands. General Greely says ho can establish satisfactory communication among the islands by means of hellography. The Navark will eail fn-m the Bermudas probably to-morrow for tho Pacific station in pursuance of the orders Issued some weeks ago detaching her from Admiral Sampson's squadron. She may proceed to Samoa, but it was said at the Navy Department that r.o significance attached to this course, as it had been determined on before the recent outbreak there. The administration has notified tho Cuban planters delegation now here that mortgage obligations in Cuba will be extended for one year. After tho conference at tho White House the representatives of the Cuban council explained that they still hoped to get at leat a two-year extension on existing mortgages. Their argument was that it would take the planters eighteen months to realize on their first sugar vrop and that a mortgage extension of a year only would allow the holders of securities to step in and foreclose on the planters after the latter had incurred the expense of planting a crop. Secretary Alger to-day cabled General Wood at Santiago authority to ship to the United States all bodies of American soldiers that are encased except those of yellow-fever victims. Dodies interred will not be removed until cold weather. All bodies brought to the United States will be buried at Arlington. The remains ef yellow-fever victims will bo sent to this country next winter. Vice President Hobart, who has been sick at his home for som weeks, was resting easily to-day. Representative Illlborn, of California, who Is suffering from blood poisoning at the Garfield Hospital, had recovered consciousness to-night, but is not yet considered out of danger. Representative liaird, of Louisiana, who is ill of inflammatory rheumatism, passed a better day than for some time past, but is still quite ill. CRQKER CHARY. (Conclnded from First I'nuf.) "And didn't he refuse to give you more? Again the witness objected to answer. "I don't remember anything about it." he said. There is no foundation at all for that. Mr. Cockran wanted to be a United States senator, and if you want to know I opposed him because we thought he was not a fit man for the place. We had a 'man whom we preferred." Mr. Croker admitted that the promoters of a new telephone company recently sent a representative to him to get his approval and assistance. Mr. Croker said he had not promised to aid the new concern. He had told them to go and see "the proper authorities." Mr. Moss asked If his help was not given because the New York telephone people, a rival concern, heard of it and also came to Mr. Croker. This the witness) denied. "You never had any stock in the New York Telephone Company?" Mr. Croker declined to answer. Mr. Moss pointed to a man in the courtroom. "Did 5'ou have any conversation with Mr. Cutler about these matters?" he asked. "I don't remember." said Mr. Croker. He had seen Mr. Cutler before. He was at the head of the New York telephone. "Did yof receive any money from Mr. Cutler at a.y time?" asked Mr. Moss. "No. sir." replied Mr. Croker. "Never?" queried the lawyer. "I decline to answer that question." "You have answered it, and then you take your answer back." "I did not answer." Insisted Mr. Croker. "Did j-ou make a five-year agreement with Mr. Cutler for tho payment to you of a sum of money each year?" Mr. Croker declined to answer. Mr. Croker said if he did take money or make an agreement to take money from the telephone people he would consider It dishonorable. "Did you do it?" demanded Mr. Moss once more. "I decline to answer the question," replied thft Tammany leader. The session was then adjourned until Monday morning. Mr. Croker's examination will be continued then. PRESS RAVINGS. (Concluded from Flrnt I'nRf.) Great Rrltaln on the Samoan commission, has given satisfaction. He Is described as being both stronpr and conciliatory and as one of the most versatile men. as well as a distinguished scholar and philologist. The Speaker, referring to the appointment, remarks: "A man who has learned so much, apparently without effort, can be trusted to grasp the situation in Samoa rapidly and deal with the persons concerned with minimum friction." The English newspapers have, naturally. boomed the "brothers In arms." the British and American blue jackets at Samoa, and portraits of Admiral Kautz have figured prominently in the papers. Tripp Summoned to Wnshlnpton. WASHINGTON. April 13. Bartlett Tripp, the member of the Samoan commission, who will represent this country, has been summoned to Washington to receive his instructions. It has been found that he can reach here and still depart from Washington on the 10th. In order to leave San Francisco on the 2Tth. As the instructions are very long, it was considered more advisable to have them delivered to him in person. So far as known at the State Department and foreign embassies concerned, there will be no formal conference of the Samoan commission in this city. Edwin V. Morgan, of Aurora, N. Y.. has been appolnttd secretary to Mr. Tripp, the United States Samoan commissioner. Mr. Morgan I reputed to be well versed in international law. Antl-Scnlpliic 1-nw Invalid. CHICAGO. April 13.

The following cablegram has just been received by the Navy Department from Admiral Dewey: "The Wheeling arrived six days from Guam. Quiet and order there. Most friendly to Americans. Native government established by Taussing working well. Native soldiers lino body of men. Manshan (United States navy transport) in Guam." DEWEY'S riUZn 3IOXEY. Tlie Admiral "Will Receive About $30,04H) if Claims Are Allowed. WASHINGTON. April 15. Admiral Dewey and his officers and men have presented their claims for prize bounty for captures and destruction by the American ships at Manila. It is estimated that Dewey will receive about $30,000 as his share of the allotment, provided the most favorable view of the claims bo taken by tho courts and the Treasury Department. Dewey and the other claimants are represented by Herbert & Micou, the senior member of which law firm is the former secretary of the navy. It will be contended that the three ships belonging to the Spanish navy which were restored and which will be added to our naval register should be regarded as prizes, a view which will make some difference in the total amount to be distributed. Another question Involved is whether the engagement between the American and Spanish ships on Mav X was with an Inferior or a superior force. If the latter the bounty would be twice as large as if the court decides the Spanish force was inferior to the American lieet. There is a suggestion from a reliable authority to the etiect that the land batteries should be considered in connection with the strength of the opposition, and if this view be taken by the Court of Claims it will be possible to recognize the Spanish force as superior to the snips commanded by Dewey. Still another feature brought outby the lawyers is that the courts should Include as prize money the property captured ashore, such as guns, furniture, and a vast .amount of movable material, of which there has been a survey and which, if admitted, would add materially to the allotment of Dewey and his force. The old prize law of 1S32 was construed by the Supreme Court as being limited to captures on the sea. but in 1&A the law was changed in such as way as to suggest the claim now made that Dewey may have a share in the value of property captured by his ships at Manila, Cavite, and other places. MlMlonnrles for Soldiers. NEW YORK, April 15. Four men started from this city for Manila last night by way of San Francisco in the Interest of missionary effort under Protestant Episcopal direction. One of these men was J. H. Peyton, a layman and a resident of West Virginia, who goes to the Philippines under the personal commission of the Bishop of Albany, and will make Investigations concerning? openings for religious effort. The other three men go under the commission of Bishop SatterUe. of Washington. They are the Rev. Hugh Nethercott. late of Kingston, Jamaica, and once acting chaplain In the British service; the Rev. James L. Smiley, of Washington, and W. H. J. Wilson, of Bristol, la., layman. They will work among the soldiers and are provided with transiKrtatIon on a government vessel from San i.'rancisco. Extra, ray for EulUted Men. WASHINGTON. April 15. The pay corps of the army in the Philippines have been instructed, to continue the payment of the 20 per cent, extra allowed to enlisted men during the time of war. It has been suggested that this payment would be discontinued when the peace proclamation was Issued, but the department has decided that the men in the Philippines shall continue to receive war pay.

April 15.-Reductlons in sleeping car rates between Chicago and the Pacific coast, anticipated at tha time the Great

Northern announced a cut In these rates on its train, have been published by the Pullman Company. Hereafter the rate from this city to Pacific coast points will be $14. instead of $15.50. The reduction was made because of the existing contract between the lullman Company and the railroads, which provides that the Pullman Company shall meet any rate made by lines competing with those which use the cars. DOLLAR DINNER. (Concluded from First Tnge.) ask is that those who come into a Democratic party shall be a part of the Democratic party. We simply insist that a man cannot be a political bigamist. He cannot be wedded to. the name of our party and to the principles of some other party. We simply ask that he shall get a formal divorce, either from our name or from their principles. "The Democratic party has a platform. It does not dismay those who stand upon it to hear it denounced this year by those who denounced It two years ago. We got accustomed to It in lstt, and U is not strange now, but it would be a surprising thin, indeed, to hear that party denounced by those who left it two years ago. But this we do not hear. The Democratic platform is satisfactory to those who supported it in lsC. That platform was written by the representatives of the Democratic party in the most democratic convention that has been held in a quarter of a century. It is a compliment to receive a presidential nomination from any national convention, but I am proud that my nomination c?tme from a convention, not of bosses, but bf Democratic cititens. Loud applause. it has vindicated that platform, and every plank of it is stronger to-day than it was when the platform was written. "Those who believe that we should invite into the Democratic party all those who cannot share in the purpose and the aspirations of that party I cannot speak for others, I speak for myself are wrong, and I say that I would not abstract from it a single plank to get back every man who left it. Nor do 1 believe that we could draw people to us by cowardice. The day for ambiguity ha9 passed. That platform means something, and If you ask me why it was that in the campaign of 1806 the hearts of the people were stirred as they have not been lately stirred I will tell you that It was because- the struggling masses found in that platform an Inspiration, and aggregated wealth found In it a menace to every man who robs his neighbor for hi3 own benefit. It was those who have Intrenched themselves behind abuse of government who objected to that platform, and well they might object, because that platform was aimed at every abuse of government, and 1 was glad that I was supported by those who would have only asked me for Just laws. I am glad that the 6.5u9.U who voted for me simply wanted me to ge,t other people's hands out of their pockets applause, and not to get their hands Into other people's pockets. CHICAGO PLANKS. "Let me recall some of those planks. We advocated the arbitration of differences between corporations engaged In interstate commerce and their employes. The doctrine of arbitration Is stronger now than It was in 1S0. Every great strike which brings loss to the employer destroys the laborer and inconveniences business and brings us one step nearer to arbitration as a means of settling those differences. The Chicago platform favored arbitration. Democrats that stood upon it then favor it now. The platform declared against government by injunction and since the election we have had object lessons which we did not have before. Thomas Jefferson believexl in trial by jury and government by injunction Is merely a disguised method by which a man charged with crime shall be denied the right of trial by jurv. Loud cheers and applause. That plank Is stronger than it was before. "The Chicago platform declared in favor of the income tax and an income tax is stronger now than it was before. When I discuss the Income tax decision I always resort to quotation, because I have a reputation for conservatism which I must protect. Laughter. When I want to be severe I quote, and when I want to criticise a Supreme Court I quote from a member of the court, and I am so cautious that I even prefer to quote from a Republican member who cannot possibly be an anarchist because he is a Republican. Justice Brown, in his dissenting opinion, used these words: 'I fear that In some hours of national peril this decision will rise up to paralyze the arm of the government.' We saw in ISM, but many people were so blind that they could not see. the danger, but the hour of peril came. The war came on. We needed money. We could not tax incomes, because the decision rose up to paralyze the arm of the government. We had to resort to stamp tax. We had to hunt up any old thing to put a stamp tax on. One of the things stamped is a telegram. Whenever you want to send a telegram you go to the telegraph office and you find that the Republican party has so made the law that the telegraph company can transfer the burden from its shoulder to yours. DOLLAR ABOVE THE MAN. "The Republican party. In all of Its politics, is putting the dollar above the man, and In that is departing from the doctrine of Lincoln, the founder, for in 1S59 he said the Republican party believes in both the man and the dollar, but in cases of conflict the man before the dollar. The Republican party is putting the dollar above the man In all Its legislation, and nowhere is It more apparent than in matters of taxation. The Republican party is not trying to restore Justice in taxation. The war has shown that when this government deals with ar. Individual Its power Is unlimited, but that when it deals with the property its power I? limited. It can draft the citizen, but it cannot touch the dollar. In the hour of peril the Nation can take the son from hi mother and the husband from his wife and stand them up in front of an enemy's gun. but it dare not lay ita finger upon the wealth of the rich and make them contribute their share. Tremendous cheering.) The Income tax is stronger than it was. and It is placed upon tho shoulders of the poor, who have to carry the burden, but In the Democratic party you can pay there is one man who is willing to pay his share. Loud applause. "My friends, why should not people be willing to bear their share of the burdens of government? If in time of war your country' needs you you are willing to give your life's blood, why deny the Nation its just due in time of peace? It has been the history of the world that those who can make much have been unwilling to bear their share of the burdens of government and have fought to use the instruments of government for private gain to take from those who can make less than they can. The Democratic party is a protector of rich and poor, and that party which nwkes the rich bear their Phare of the burden Is a better friend of the rich man than the party that takes his money and sells exemption. "There is another plank in this platform which I desire to make mention of. The Republican party and the Democratic party have been burying the money question so often that I almo-t feel I ought to apologize for s-peaklng of the dead before so large an audience. The Democratic party denounced the gold standard, called It unAmeriean and anti-American and pledged the party to destroy it at once and substitute in its plaee independent bimetallism at the ratio of 16 to 1. If the gold standard wua un-American In 1ST it's un-American now. If it was anti-American two years ago. it is anti-American now, and If the gold standard was bad In 1S06. you were oonvinced that it was bad in 1S97. because Mr. McKinley sent three distinguished commissioners to Europe to get rid of the gold standard. "AN ABSURD PLANK." "And why did they not succeed? It was because they asked from the financiers of the old world a favor they ought to have known the financiers would not grant. Why did we oppose the gold standard? Because it has raised the purchasing power of the dollar and lowered the price of the products of labor. When our commissioners went abroad they went to supplicate from persons who had profited, and how absurd to expect them to Join In doing away with a thing out of which they had made money. Then, my friends, I want to suggest to you that the Republican promise of International bimetallism, coupled with the pledge that the gold standard would be maintained until other nations came to our relief, was the most abpurd plank that any party put into a platform. Think of it? Let me make a speech such a man would have to make to carry out that programme. If the Republican party had delegated its representatives to present this subject to the financiers of Europe along the line of that senseless platform, the spokesman of the commission would have to make a speech about like this: 'Oentlemen. we have had the gold standard for twenty-three years and do not like it: the American people have tried it and suffered from it, and they have sent us over here to ask you to help us to get rid of It: they recognize that you have made money while they have lost. and. therefore, we ask you to join us In restoring the state bv which we won't lose so much and by which you won't make sor much.' Rut then candor would have compelled the spokesman to have added another sentence. He would have said: 'But while we suffered a good deal, ue can suffer more if necessary. While we have had a hard time, we have not reached the limit ot eudurance; and IX you

people would rather go on plundering us Indefinitely we will stand by you while the world lasts.' "That is the Republican platform. That Is what it says-that while still trying to get along on national bimetallism, yet if we get tho leading commercial nations of Europe to Join Lwlfh us we wil maintain this thing which they want. "My friends, our plan is different. We would not have sent a man over to beg, because we read in history when we were children that more than a hundred years ago our people, by their blood, bought the right to legislate for themselves. According to our plan, when we send a man over there It will not be to ask a man to help us. but to announce to them what we are going to do. It will be to say to them that seventy millions of people have as much right to protect their property from depreciation as a handful of foreign financiers have to legislate values Into their hands. And our ambassador would have said to them: 'The people of the United States have decided to restore independent bimetallism at the ratio of 16 to 1. We believe we can maintain the parity, but you have a good many investments over there, and if you have any doubt about our doing it, you had better join us. Xecause if anybody suffers it will be you not us.' Long continued applause. "Now. my friends, an argument like that would have some effect. I recall to your minds an Item that crossed the ocean while our commission was over there. It ran like this: 'That while there was a good deal of Fentircent over there, yet the financial Interests were solidly opposed to making any concessions to bimetallism and that there was only one argument we had any weight with them, and that was. if they did not do something to help restore international bimetallism, free sliver would win in the United States and restore bimetallism by Independent action, and that British Investments would suffer." And it was said in this dispatch that that argument was being made by one of the commissioners. I could not but applaud the common sense of the commissioner who abandoned the Republican platform and got onto a common sense platform and appealed to them by an argument they would under- ' MILITIRISM CONDEMNED. Mr. Bryan spoke at length on the money question, giving his well-known views on the subject. In concluding, he said: "There Is another subject not included in the Chicago platform and Is yet included in the principle it sets forth. The President, in his message of 1SW, asked for a standing army of loo,) men. We have had no national convention since that time. But Democrats do not have to have a national convention to learn that the Democratic party is opposed to militarism in the United States. Seventy thousand more soldiers needed than in 1J. Why? For internal protection? Why, what has happened since 1S96? Except the Republican administration? Does a Republican administration make more soldiers necessary? When prosperity comes and confidence Is restored. Is it necessary to have soldiers to point It out with bayonets? But they tell us that we need them for outside service. Where? In Cuba? Oh, no, not permanently, because the President ha promised the Cubans that our occupation is only temporary, therefore he could not need soldiers permanently in Cuba. Nor are they needed In Porto Rico. My opinion has been that lhe people of Porto Rico should be permitted to choose for themselves between annexation and a republic of their own. But so far they have expressed no desire for a republic, and seem to desire annexation. So that there does not seem to be any necessity" for a large army there. "Where do we need a large increase in the army? In the Philippines? Why,, my friends, the President in his Boston speech said that the question was to be settled by the American people, and until the American people settled it. how do you know it will need 70.000 soldiers there permanently? But if we do, according to their argument, need 70,(00 soldiers there permanently, then I ask you, my friends, what is the expense going to be? It is estimated that it costs $1.)0 a soldier to keep the army in the United States and Jl.aCO a soldier to keep the army outside the United States and 70.000 soldiers would mean over a hundred million a year. Who pays the money? The Filipinos? Why, my frienus, if we make the Filipinos pay the expense of our army we will have to tax them several times as much as Spain overtaxed them." Mr. Bryan's reference to the United States as a bully for striking down the Filipino natives created 'the greatest enthusiasm of the night. There was a mighty demonstration when he said that it was this country that had Inspired the Filipino with love of liberty. The American government of the Filipinos Is a despotism, he declared, and this was loudly applauded. It was not surprising, he said, that a country should send to England for a financial policy as it had two years ago, should now send there for a colonial policy. This was received with wild applause. When he intimated that he wanted to stop he was told to go on and many requested him to talk more on imperialism. When he said: "We may fail in lfioo" there were tumultous cries of "No, never." When he concluded another hurricane of applause broke forth. Men and women acted wildly. Men threw up their hats and women waved their cloaks and handkerchiefs and shouted and Jumped up and down. Bryan spoke one hour and nine minutes. He was In as good voice when he finished as when he began. When Mr. Bryan had finished there was a great rush to him on the platform. He was almost suffocated in the crush. It required live policemen to force a way through the crowd for him. He shook hands on all sides. He had a few minutes reception In the Inside room. He shook hands with a number of persons and with great difficulty he went downstairs. There was a very large crowd here, and Colonel Bryan had to make a short speech to the gathering. He was enthusiastically cheered as he got into a carriage, which started for the Hotel Bartholdl. Of the dinner Mr. Bryan said: "This Is the greatest dinner I ever attended. I think It is the greatest ever held In the United States. The hearts of the people are all right." Another Chance for Brynn. ST. LOUIS, April 15. It was announced to-day that a banquet will be given in the Coliseum here on or about May 25, under the auspices of the Jefferson Club, of St. Louis. Col. W. J. Eryan. Senator Teller and Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago are among the distinguished guests to be Invited. Plates will be laid for from 1.D00 to 2,000 persons. The reason for the uncertainty about the exact date is that Colonel Bryan does not know at this time whether he can be in St. Loui3 May 23. He will determine when he returns to Chicago from New York. Colonel liryan has signified his willingness to attend the dinner, and the date will be set to suit his convenience. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

IRVING RETURNS TO STAGE. London Audience of Celebrities Glvei Sir Henry m. Hearty Greeting. LONDON", April 13. An enormous audience assembled at the Lyceum Theater this evening to welcome Sir Henry Irving' return to the stage, but those present were somewhat disappointed with 'Robespierre." which proved long and harrowing, and which, though staged with the wealth ot scenery and costumes that always characterized Sir Henry's productions, did not afford either him of Miss Ellen Terry an opportunity to bo seen to best advantage. There wa9 a special heartiness In the applause showered upon Sir Henry, to which he responded In a brief speech at the end of the play, thanking all for their kind reception. He said he was glad to see that the "Spirit of old relations still lived in this theater," and expressed the hope that It would be continued for many years In the future, when he would be associated with his old friend, J. W. Comyns Carr. Miss Terry was very nervous and was imperfect In her lines, but her part was a very small one. Kyrle liellew wys warmly applauded and did ample justice to his prominent part as Robespierre's illegitimate son. The house was full of celebrities. United States Anflassador Choate and Mrs. Choate occupied trie royal box. In the stalls were John It. Carter, second secretary of the American embassy, and Mrs. Carter; Gilbert Parker, the novelist and dramatist, and Mrs. Parker; K. S. Wiliard, Anthony Hope and Sir Kills Ashmcad Bartlett. Toward the end ct the play, which lasted until midnight, a. host of actors and actresses began flocking in from the other theaters. IT ENDED HER TROUBLE.
