CROWD TRIES TO. HEAR GOOD THINGS IN THE DOWNPOUR

f or the Third "Time Heavy Rain Falls, But It Does Not Dampen Ardour of the Many Patrons of the Chautauqua.

' Yesterday rain once again interfered with the Richmond Chautauqua, making it more manifest than ever before that if the assembly is to be the great success that its promoters have hop ed, there Is absolute need for a perma nent auditorium, one that is storm proof, and one that will accomodate the crowd. Yesterday afternoon's rain came up during the lecture of r.of. Zueblin, and. the great audience assembled was . pretty thoroughly " dampened before it was over. There were spots, here and there, which appeared fairly dry, but there was much wetness" everywhere. The "water proof" canvas acted much like other canvasses under the same conditions, and the " rain seeped through in streams at various points, while members of the audience huddled together, .tried to dodge the water and endeavored to appear good natured even if they did not relish it Prof. Zueblin, who was in the midst of his lecture when the rain began to fall in torrents, ceased speaking for a time, ,but was able to resume and complete his address. One of the very best features of the entire Chautauqua up to this time was the address by Prof. S. D. Fess, whose subject was "Abraham Lincoln." Prof. Fess spoke under rather difficult circumstances for he began just at the time when the first storm of yesterday afternoon had ceased, and had hardly "ot warmed to his subject when a second storm, even more severe than the first, broke. The audience, however remained and it was well rewarded for so doing. Prof. Fess displayed an intimate knowledge of his subject and he handled it most admirably. - Prof. Zueblin yesterday morning spoke on "Art," applying the subject In its broadest sense and endeavoring to show why "the beautiful" should and how it could be incorporated in all of our environments. Richmond, the speaker said, was probably better known through its art movement than in any other way. The Reid Memorial church was held up to the 'audience as a strikingly beautiful piece of architectural work. In the afternoon Prof. Zueblin talked on "Education." Last night the Kaffir Boys' choir was the chief feature. The Chautauqua management is making great preparations for Sunday afternoon, when Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson will make an address. LIGHTNING DID DAMAGE JONES' STORE SUFFERED Telephone system W,?s Burned Out, Motor to the. Elevator Was Disabled and a Small Fire Was Started in the Basement.

During the long speech' which, at times wearied his auditors, an enthusiast on the lower floor proposed three cheers for socialism. He was hooted and hissed down. In an instant the silver tongued ora tor from Nebraska leaped into the breech that had been made in his set speech. "I have no objections to the man expressing himself for Socialism, . - i because a Socialist is generally an honest man," he declared. "He is striving for what he thinks best. I believe he is a mistaken man, but you must meet him with argument and Second only in volume to the enthu siasm which greeted his fearless stand upon the subject of Socialism, was that which was accorded his treatment of the subject of govern ment ownership, and when the Nebraskan declared that the railroads should be under the Federal and State control, a wave of enthusiasm swept j the audience.

Some of our friends who have OUTLOOK III CUBA IS VERY GLOOMY Everything Depends on the Outcome, of the Battle Now Impending. TRY TO CRUSH GUERRA GOVERNMENT IS MAKING AN EFFORT TO GET TROOPS ON BOTH SIDES OF HIM AND THEN FORCE A FIGHT. fPub-ishers Press! Havana, Aug. 30. The outlook In Cuba tonight is gloomy. Everything depends on the outcome of the battle between the Loyalist forces and the Insurgents under Guerra, who is at the head of the insurgents in the Palace Piner Del Rio. Government troops are being hurried to and from all directions against the insurgent leader but all efforts of the authorities have been unavailing, to bring together an army which may have to cope with the force un der his command. A new move on the part of the government is the shipping of a small army to the Western extremity of the island. The plaps are to get Guerra between the Royalists in front, and those who are beinng shipped in, to attack in the rear. If this plan succeeds the government may be enabled to entrap the insurgents leader and deal him a blow which will practicaly end the revolution. Guerra however insists in avoiding battle, and it is doubtful if he can be enticed into an open engagement. The latest advices received in this city are to the effect that the government forces are rapidly advancing toyards the position held by the insurgent leader. Parkins Nominated. W.

Scope Widened by Travel, Great Nebraskan Lays Aside Fallacy of 1896 and Brings Forth a New Issue. THOUSANDS CHEER WHILE KEYNOTE IS SOUNDED In Its Very Principle, Monopoly is Wrong, Bryan Declared and Punishment for Trust Evils Should be Imprison- " men fTublishers" TressJ New York, Aug. 30. Declaring the trust Question to be the overshadowing issue at the present time, Hon. William J. Bryan, fresh "from his trip around the world, sounded the keynotfl nf this national rii'mivrnrv nt Madison Square Garden Thursday night. And thousands in the vast assemblage vigorously applauded the ' sentiment. Mr. Bryan, who was at his best, spoke for more than two hours on the problems now confronting the people of the United States. His response to the reception and welcoming addresses was well received by his 'auditors. It was a great outpouring that " greeted the eloquent Nebraskan. Long before the hour set for the opening of the exercises, every seat in the vast garden had been occupied, while hun dreds thronged the aisles. Many thousands more were unable to gain admittance to the building. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Mnyor Tom Johnson of Cleveland, the latter pronouncing Democracy's leader to bo the foremost citizen of the republic. Addresses by Governor Folk of Mlsrouri. Augustus Thomas of the Commercial Travelers' Anti-trust league, and others preceded the 'introductory effort of .Mayor Johnson. Mr. Bryan spoke in part as follows: "Like all' travelers who have visit ed other lands, I return with delight tc the land of my birth, more proud of Its people, with more confidence In its government and grateful to the kind Providence that cast my lot In the United States. My national pride has been increased because , of the abundant evidence I have seen of the altruistic interest taken by American in the people of other countries. No other nation can show such a record of benevolence, and disinterested friendship. My. love for our form of government has been quickened as I have visited castles and towers, and peered into dark dungeons, and I am glad that our nation, profiting by the experience of the past and yet unhampered by traditions and unfettered Dy caste, nas been permitted to torn a new center of civilization on new soil and, erect here "a government of the people, by the people and for the people." I also return more deeply impressed than ever before with the responsibility which rests upon our nation as an. exemplar among the nations and more solicitous that we. avoiding the causes which have led other nations to decay, may present a higher ideal than has ever before in .1 1 .1 ux--il cuiuuuicu lit a. iidiiuudi eii'i carry human progress to a higher plane than it has before reachtL A Message of Peace. "The first message that I bring from the old world is a message of peace. The cause of arbitration is making real progress in spite of the fact that the nations most prominent in the establishment of the Hague tribunal have themselves been , engaged in wars since that court was lorganfEed. There Is a perceptible growth in sentiment in favor of the settlement of international disputes by peaceful means. I confess that my aversion to killing Increases with the years. Surely, the Creator did not so plan the universe as to make the progress of the race dependent upon wholesale blood-letting. I prefer to believe that war instead of being an agency for good, is rather evidence of man's sur render to his passions and that of ths tests of civilization is mai's willingness to submit his controversies to the arbitrament of reason rather than of force.
