"I have tried to express my appreciation of the generous outpouring of friend3 who have listened to me speak," said Mr. Bryan. "As I said at Madison Square Garden, my heart would indeed be flint if I were not deeply touched in the most personal way by the kindness that has been shown me. Nothing in my life has so stirred me as the welcome that I found on my return to the shore of the best country in all the world, our own United States." Mr. Bryan does not take kindly to the published stricture by former leading Democrats on his attitude in public uestlon and he did not fail to make that public before he leit tnis city. "My views on public matters," he declared, "are my own personal opinion but I believe that they are sound. True I have been called too radical, but let me tell you this, so far as I am concerned, it makes ittle, difference what- the 'leading Democrats' say. I will stand Dy my views no matter whether or not I am ever again a leading figure in public life."

HE WILL TOUCH ON THEM SENATOR TILLMAN THOUGH KNOWN AS A NEGRO HATER HAS WORDS OF PRAISE FOR CARROLL. Few cities in the country are more interested in the race problem than Richmond, and for this reason the address of Richard Carroll, the col ored orator and educator at the Chau tauqua, tonight will be of more than passing interest. The population of this city is pe culiar in its makeup. Few Indiana cities have so many negroes in pro portion to size as does Richmond, yet few centers are more enlightened Many living here have given much thought to the problem of what is to become of the colored race, brought about largely by the prominence the colored people are taking. Each Sun day they have a ball game here at tracting many persons to the east end of the city. There are many of them on the business streets during the day and night. In general their conduct is good but some complaint has been to the police about insol ence on their part. There have been attempted criminal acts with colored men involved. These and many other things have tended to bring the sub ject home to Richmond. The attention of Mr. Carroll has been called to these things and he will touch on them In his address tonight. Mr. Corrall Is doing a great work and his words will be especially signifi cant. The character and work of Mr Carroll have called forth works . of commendation from many quarters. "Washington, D. C.

ROOSEVELT GIVES PHONETIC CRITICS

A TELLING BLOW With Characteristic Deter mination, the Presiden Strikes Back at Those Who . Have Been Criticising Him WRITES STRONG LETTER TO CHAS. A. STILLINGS Roosevelt Holds That Govern mnet Should Make Ad vance Abreast of Popular Sentiment and Not Lag Be hind it. Publishers Pressl Oyster Bay, Sept. 2. President Roosevelt has, with characteristic de termination, waited until he sensed the extent of the criticism of his spelling reform manifesto, and has then proceeded to smite his critics shoulder and thigh. The smiting has been done in letter to Charles A. Stillings, the Public Printer at Washington. The President says the government shouldn't lag behind popular senti ment, but advance abreast of it and abreast of the views of the ablest scholars. Ignorance of what new spellings are to be introduced, Mr. Roosevelt thinks, accounts for much of the criti cism, as well as ignorance of ttie purposes to be achieved. He denies that the language of Shakespeare and Milton is being attacked, and shows wherein the change is in some instan ces a going back to the forms of their time and in others an extention of the changes that have taken place since their time.

The fact that President Palma has openly favored this scheme Is increasing the sympathy for the rebels. It is now reported that it is the intention of the government not only to employ Americans in the service, but that from those who are enlisted there is to be picked, so soon as the insurrec tion is put down, one regiment which is to remain permanently in the service and be detailed for guard duty in and about the Palace.

GRANDPARENTS

GRAND PLEA FOR LARGE NAVY AND UNIVERSAL PEACE Richmond Hobson, Before Chautauqua's Best Crowd Shows- Why Navy Should Be Greatly Increased.

NOT FOR WAR PURPOSES BUT TO PROMOTE PEACE Speaker Shows Need for United States Supremacy in the Orient-China is Nation to be Greatly Feared. TODAY'S PROGRAM. 10:30 a. m. Band Concert. 2:30 p. m. "An Untitled Adventurer Napoleon," Hon George E. Clark. 4:00 p. m. Band Concert. 7:00 p. m. Band Concert. 8:00 p. m. Richard Carroll "The Negro Problem." Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, late of the American navy, now a "plain American citizen and Democratic nominee for Congress in his home district , in Alabama, expounded the doctrine of peace from a new standpoint before an audience of between 4,000 and 5.000 at the Richmond Chautauqua yesterday afternoon. The "hero of the Marrimac." was at his best, mentally and physically, and for one hour and fifty minutes ho kept his hearers entertained. In fact his line of argument for a great navy, to become an implement of peace, was so fasslnating that before he had concluded the great audience enthusiastically placed its seal of favor upon it by the unanimous endocscment of a resolution which calls upon Congress to bring into practice the teachings of the young naval expert. Capt, Hobson's personality Is perhaps his greatest drawing card, but once he has an audience before him, it is not personality alone that holds several thousand people for two hours. .Capt. Hobson has a -message to give to the American people and he gives it so well and backs it up with such forceful argument that he holds his hearers almost spellbound. Address Had No Title. Capt. Hobson's address yesterday was not dignified with a title, but It might appropriately have been called. "American, the Peacemaker," for his line of thought throughout was that of all the nations, none stood so es sentially for peace as America. His central Idea was the need of a great navy for the protection, not only of American prestige and commerce, but as a means of belne the dictator of peace for' the entire world. An im plement of warefare !n the hands of a peaceful nation, Capt. Hobson argued, would not convert it Into a fighting nation, but on the contrary would simply be a means of showing the world as a whole that the peaceloving people of the United States not only demanded peace but wera prepared to enforce it. Endorsement of Roosevlt. Capt. Hobson's resolution, which is printed in another place in this issue, is destined to cut some figures in Congress before he has finished. Richmond was the 292nd city In the United States In which it has been presented and adopted In the past three years and when the young naval expert reaches the halls of Congress as he will next winter, he will be In shape to press his claim. Threughout his address yesterday be displayed his great admiration for President Roosevelt and It is asserted that he has the endorsement of the President in his present undertaking. Capt. Comstock Presided. Capt. Paul Comstock presided ove tjje great Hobson day audience and introduced the speaker with a brief address in which he alluded to the services of Capt. Hobson. both as a fighter in time of war and as an ad vocate of peace. When Capt. Hobson arose and faced the crowded pa vilion, the audience arose and three thousand tiny American flags were waved, the scene from the rostrum being an inspiring one. Capt. Hobson preluded his address with a few brief remarks relative to the beauty of Richmond, the' enterprise of her people and of the worthy undertaking to establish a Y. 31. C. A. in the city. He said that he had , numbered hlrtK self as a member of this organization for twenty years and was s:lad to be able to give a hearty and sincere endorsement of Its great value to every community. Capt. HobBon spoke In part as follows: The Power of America. ."I shall beg of you. my countrymen, today to point out some of the phases of American Influence that (Continued on Page Five.)
