The Disease Has Brokea Oat on a
Number of Westers Reservations.
WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-Smallpor has
hroken out on a number of Indian res
ervations In the West and It Js feared
that when the cold weather sets in, the
epidemic will become more widespread
and assume a more malignant form.
Every possible effort Is bfeing ma.de to
stay its progress and the Indian Bureau
is forwarding vaccine virus to the various
agencies. Ueutenant-Colonel Rapdless,
In charge of the Kiowa Indian Agency In
Oklahoma, telegraphs that smallpox Is
epidemic on the Wichita reservation and
that 50 cases have occurred aiine fh
children at the Riverside Indian Boarding j
Rwuupi, on mat reservation. The dis
ease also has appeared at the Cache
Creek Mission nnd at the St Patrick
Mission on. the Apache, Kiowa and Com
anche reservation. No deathB have been
reported thus far and no airam Is mani
fested by the Indians.
From the Coivllle Agency, at Miles,
Wash,, Agent Anderson reports that
smallpox Is prevalent among the Indians
on the Coeur -d'Alene reservation, nino
cases having developed so far. A strict
quarantine of the infected district has
been established and disinfectants and
vaccine have been uurchased hv thn. nrant-
From Fort Hall Agency, in Idaho, Agent
Caldwell reports tha$ smallpox Is increas
ing in that vicinity and that many cases
are predicted when cpld weather begins.
A thorough vaccination of pupils is the
only protection for the Fort Hall School
pumis. vooipjaim. js roaae or tne vac- J
clno available, only three out of 50 prl- 1
mary vaccinations of small children prov
ing successful. United States Senator
Shoup, of Idaho, reports that smallpox
Is prevalent at Blackfoot and Pocatello
and that fear is entertained that It will
extend to thetndlans. The disease also
has been reported from Valentine, Neb.,
the Shipping point for the Rosebud
Agency.

Mr. Cleveland's speech, delivered April
24, 1887, In the new ballrooin of the Hotel
Waldorf, was in part as follows:
-"On every side we are confronted with
popular depression and complaint These
are largely due to causes of natural and
certain recurrence, as the Inevitable an
companlmenfof alhhuman endeavor, and
perhaps they are as largely due to ' the
work of agitators and demagogues who
have busily sowed the seeds of discontent
In order that in the harvest they may
reap personal advantage. '
"Distressing Ills, real and Imaginary,
have been so constantly and luridly pre
sented to -the minds of honest men that
they are tempted to accept, without tak
ing counsel of Teason or Judgment, any
nostrum cunningly offered as a remedy
for their low condition'. But evetfc so
promising afleld as this has not satisfied
the designs "of ruthless agitators Whlle

which threatens to choke- or destroy iftat

to the success of our plan of government
"The fundamental truth that our 'free
Institutions offer opportunities to all

ment and improvement of their condition
has been so far .denied that honest accumulation-is
called a crime and the ne
cessity and habit of individual effort and
struggle which are the' mainsprings of
sturdy Americanism are described as un
justifiable burdens,, while- unwholesome
paternalism Is presented In handsome, -Inviting
garb. Those enlisted in this cm

themselves the frjends of the poople;vx

And those whom thoy themselves

have for years, with greater or Iqsv tdis
tlnctness, hovered apput our National
life, lacking effective organization and
concentration, neglected by, those, who
deprepated their existence, and unheeded
by those who partially appreolateij their
dangerous tendencies -v
"In. the meantime there has lain In wait
behind them H an Impatient power to
marshal them In effective- activity, wjien
depression, misfortune neglect and pasr

First Speech, at Addison.
HORNELLSVILLB, N. Y., Oct. 20. Mr.
Bryan began his last day of the New
York campaign tour "at Addison, a few
miles east of this place, where he made
a five-minute speech a fetf minutes be
fore & o'clock. Mr. Bryan entered Ms
coach at Jersey City abqut midnight.
Arduous as had been his duties yesterday,
his rest was not unbroken during tne
night. Mr. Bryan was sound asleep when
his train passed through Elmlra, where
Governor Roosevelt's train was stand'ng
LWhen Addison was reached, the rain,
which had est in a few miles fur liter
east, began a- heavy downpour, but' the
crowd was large and 'enthusiastic, and
Mr. Bryan appeared In. excellent condition.
Mr. Bryan dwelt-brlelly on what he con
ceived to be the pvll of trusts, mllltar-
f Ism, territorial -expansion 'and the coJo-f
nlal policy of the Republican party. "
The train hod ulmdnfahed somewhat by
the time Mr. Bryan's train reached Hor
nellsville. At this point he elaborated on
the -theory advocated' by him yesterday.
f to the effect that the Republicans had
already abandoned their principal cam
paign argument, which -was the- full d!n-ner-pall.
Starting with the proposition
that the Republican platform was largely
devoted to the subject of prosperity, ne
said:
"Copaparo the spade demoted to eon
gratulatlon with the space devoted to all
other questions and you will find that
tbe Republicans expected to moke the
Issue r the grand prosperity argument.
The full dinner-pail Is full of holes: the
full dlnner-pall s the most completely
battered apd beatep-up emblem that any
party ever had."
He went on'fo say that If tbe Nw
York officials were disposed to do bo, they
cpuld get .rid of the Ice trust, just ra
the Democratic tfnd Populist officials had t
gotten no or an ice -jrust in weDrasica,
"We'll have a. President from Nebraska
too," someone Bhotrtedi Bryan respond-

At Cnno.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y Oct 2a-Mr.
Bryan's audience at Cuba was composed
largely of men," and, notwithstanding that
rain fell during the-entire time he was
speaking, he held to the -end. There was
cl6se"attariUon and frequent though not
general applause. He again discussed the
trusts and the Army question, but took
occasion to explain why the subject or
finance was not receiving more attention
at his hands. On that point he said:
"In order that no Republican may go
away and say that I did not say anything
on the money question, I want to tell
'you that there are twp reasons why we
do not spend our time talking about the
questions of 1S96. The first reason- Is that
our platform sets forth the party's por
tion so that everybody can go to the
platform and find out Just where our
party stands, but you. cannot say that ot
the Republican platform. ' The second 13
tfta-tr thft Republicans have done so much
since 1S96 that was T)ad that they keep us
busy Indicting them for high crimes and
misdemeanors committed 'In .the la3t
three years, and a half, and we are not
going toT abandon our contest against
rthem oh new issue merely5-because thy
ara not prepared to defend their record
of tfhe last three years and a half."
Mr, Bryan was introduced to the Iargp
n-Tldl-ence -wirfeh assembled at the ra-llronrl
station to welcome him to Wellsvllle by
Manton Marble Wyvell Mr. Wyvell is a
resident of Wellsvllle, but a student ot
Cornell University. ,Mr. Bryan met him
upon the occasion of his visit to Ithaca
on his first tour of tho state, and took
such a fancy to the young man that
he invited him to make this tour with
him. In responding to the Introduction,
which was gracefully delivered, Mr.
Bryan said that he was pleased to be
presented by the young man. and then
came nearer delivering a lecture on the
aspirations and possibilities of young
manhood than to making , a political
speech.
While Mr. Bryan was speaking at
'WeIlsY411et two boys, one of them much
larger tnan tne oxner, got into a quarroi
and the larser one struck the smaller
fone. with his fist Whn Mr., Bryan had

hands had begun, Mr. Bryan walked
across the platform of the car and called
for tho boy who had received the blow,
saying that he wanted to shake hands
with a youngster who had become a vic
tim of the pdilcy of Torce. The boy
seemed to forget his affliction in. the
handshaking and when Mr. Bryan handed
iiim a rose from a bunch -held in. Mrs.
Bryan's hands, his cup of Joy .seemed
quite complete.
In a speech at Olean Mr. Bryan again
talked to an audience composed almost
k exclusively of men, and among them
were a great many laborers. The crowd
was large and the reception cordial, not
to say enthusiastic. Here- he again re
ferred to charges that he was evading
the old Issues and spoxs at some length
In explanation of his course apd that of
his party Inthe campaign.
Mr. Bryan spoke for about 40 minutes
at Salamanca, end while he was speak
ing Mrs. Bryan wis entertained by a
committee of ladles. The crowd at thl3
place vras large and a fair degree of en
thusiasm wa manifested. Introducing
his speech, Mr. Bryan made an appeal
for Republican votes' He. said:
"No one makes a greater mistake than
the man who assumes that any large
number of the people lack patriotism.
You remember the campaign of 2S26 and
you remember how deeply the people
were stirred, and you remember that
those who were with me in the campaign
were called all sorts of names, and I my
self did not escape; and yet within two
years after that campaign a war broke
out and the President asked for volun
teers, and the people responded, and I
think it is safe to say that more men
responded who voted for me than re
sponded who voted for tho President"
At Jamestown.
JAMESTOWN. N. Y.. Oct. 30 Mr.
Bryan arrived at Jamestown at 4:30, and
a stop of about two hours was made.
Mr. Bryan madeonly a brief speech, but
his principal address was made at Cele
ron, three miles up Lake Chatauqua. He
was escorted to that resort by a local
committee. Mr., Bryan was enthusiastic
ally received when he entered the hall,
and the speech was frequently applauded
as It progressed. He began with a dis
cussion ot tHe question of prosperity, de-
hying that there" .was a general pros
perity, as has been claimed. Giving his
remedy for trusts, Mr, Bryan said he
Vfould take thatariff off of every trust
made article as one means ot presenting
the formation of trust combinations. In
closing, Mr. Bryan said:
"I believe from "What I have seen in
this state that tho Democracy- of this
state are united for victory. You have
fleardup here In this section your distm
gulshed ex-Senator, and It Is not neces
sary for me to make a speech in the parts
of the state where Mr. Hill has discussed
the Issues ot the campaign.. You will
find down in New York our people are
united there. In New York City, in
Brooklyn, all over this state, they are
fighting, and. they are determined that In
this contest 'between an American idea
and a European idea, New York Shall be
on the side of the United States -and not
on the side of Europe." -

ments made by A. J. Blackwood, the

interview printed In Nejv York October
26. tn which Mr. Blackwood was quoted

habitants to continue under the Danish

olutions, but the vice-chairman overruled
them. There .was a torchlight procession
Monday night styled "The People's Pro
test" A very long and orderly crowd,
'headed by a band of musicv marched
through the town.
