Pace of Enterprise and various other old timers. J, D. McKennon, who was to join the party here, took au earlier train. At Pendleton other dem ocrats became a part of the crowd aud the train carried a fine line of demo cracy when it reached Portland this noon: Bilker Crowds Henr Commoner. Baker, Feb. 29. Baker democrats were awake and so was W, ,J. Bryan last evening when No. 5 rolled into Baker. As a consequence a large audi ence heard the Commoner in a very brief and Impromptu speech: "With the ex-president and the pres ident fighting it out for the republi can nomination, it surely looks like a good year for democrats," said Bryan to the party of faithful democrats who gathered at the depot last evening. It was hardly expected that he would show himself, owing to the lateness of the hour, but as the train stopped, he was seen coming out of the vesti bule, and a cheer went up. He shook hands eagerly with those who gather ed about him, and in response to a re quest for his -ideas on the political slt- i uatlon, replied briefly as noted above. According to Mr. Bryan, he had in tended retiring early, but learned on, the train that a delegation would meet him In this city, so decided not to go to his berth until after the traia had I passed Baker. ! He inquired after John Thompson, now of Hereford, whom the Co;ii:r.on er formerly knew In Nebraska, and Bpoke of the late Colonel W. F. llutch- , er, who was a personal friend and n delegate .to the convention that nomi nated. Bryan for president In 890. He Inquired concerning the mining and stock industries and asked about the Irilatlon projects now under way In this vicinity. ' . The time of his stop was all too short, hut: those who were present were amply rewarded by the warmth of tlu greeting extended by the great leader of the democratic party. The train pulled In about 11:40 and was In the station only a few moments. At tho warning whistle, Bryan again boarded hlB car and roled out of Baker with a lusty cheer following him.

By deliberately Insulting a superior otlicer at a court martial a French soldier at. Lille Incurred the death pen ally. The Incident is a deplorable one. The fact, that the olllcers had to con demn tho man Is likewise pnlnful, but the military regulations were ' plain aud left no alternative. A dragoon in one of the regiments at Lille was being tried before a court martial. Another dragoon of the same regiment, who was undergoing arrest for some other fault, was summoned as a witness. When this dragoon en tered the room of the court martini he was asked by the presiding colonel to take off his cap. The man. took this in bad part and Hung his cap at the colo nel, following It' up with a storm of abusive language. v When he had finished, the colouel, out of sheer good nature, asked him to rellect and express regret for his ac tlou, which he was willing to look upon as a momentary outburst of tem per. The dragoon merely repeated his insults. The court martial immediate ly deliberated and at the end of n quarter of an hour gave judgment condemning the dragoon to death.
