THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. JANUARY G, 1J02.
CONGRESS MEETS TODAY
PRINCIPAL ITEM OX HOUSE PRO
GRAMME IS CANAL BILL.
DehatetMay Be Loader TIihh nt First
Seemed Probable Very Little
ob the Senate Calendar.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. After a recess
bf almost three weeks, both houses of
Congress will reconvene tomorrow. The
principal Item on the House programme
for the week Is the Hepburn Isthmian
canal bill, which Is the special order for
Tuesday. No limit has been fixed as to
the time for debate upon the measure,
but Mr. Hepburn does not contemplate a
prolonged discussion of It. It is sur
mised in some quarters, however, that
if the proposition of the Panama Canal
Company to sell its property and fran
chises for $40,000,000 should be made to
morrow, as promised, this may have the
effect of opening a wider field of discus
sion than at first seemed probable, and
If this should prove the case, the bill
may be before the Houe for a longer
time than is now contemplated.
Mr. Burton has given notice of a speech
on the bill, and It Is understood that
there, will also be other speeches in crit
icism of special features of the measure,
but Its friends are very sanguine, not
only that tho bill will pass, but that it
will pass speedily. Mr. Hepburn,, the
author of the bill, thinks that only a few
days of debate will be necessary.
It Is expected that by the time the
canal bill Is disposed of, there will be one
or more appropriation bills ready for con
sideration by the House. None of the ap
propriation bills have yet been passed on
by the appropriation committee, but both
the urgent deficiency and the pension bills
are in a forward state, and the expecta
tion Is that they will be considered by
the commlttea during the current week.
The present intention Is to give first
attention to the deficiency bill. The es
timates for that bill aggregate $12,000,000.
and it Is not believed that these figures
will be scaled down materially.
The Senate has no programme for the
week, and very little business on Its
calendar, as the reorganization of the
Senate committees did not take place un
til Just before the holidays. There are,
however, a few bridge bills reported, and
Senator Morgan's bill for the acquisition
of right of way for the Nicaragua Canal,
which la among the measures in posi
tion to receive attention. It is not prob
able, however, that the right of way
bill will receive consideration at this time,
the disposition being rather to await the.
action of the House upon the general
subject and then have the Senate predi
cate Its .action oa the House bill. If this
course should be decided on, the discus
sion of the canal question. In the Senate
will be postponed for a few weeks.
The committee on the Philippines will
take up the Philippine tariff question very
soon, but there 'Is jefc no indication as
to how much time the matter may con
sume in cpmmlttees. Hence there Is no
probability that the Senate itself will be
able to reach, that question for some
time.
Senator "Frye is engaged on his report
on the shipping bill, but Is not yet able
to fix the time for Its completion.
jThe announcement of Senator Sewell's
death will probably be made tomorrow.
In which event there will be an Immediate'
adjournment for the day. An adjourn
ment from Thursday until the following
Monday is contemplated.
M'KINLEY MEMORIAL ARCH.
Bill TIi at Will Be Introduced In Con
gress This Week.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. The "William
McKInley National Memorial Arch Asso
ciation has drafted the following bill,
which will be Introduced In Congress this
week, supported by a petition signed by
the members of the association, and also
tfce members of the McKInley National
Memorial Association, .formed to erect a
monument in Canton, to -which the Arch
Association -yielded the field of popular
subscription:
"A bill to provide a commission to se
lect a site and secure plans for a me
morial arch in honor of William McKIn
ley, late President of the United States,
to be erected in the District of Colum
bia. Be It enacted, etc.

SANITARY REGULATIONS.
Quarantine Report of the Pan-American
Congrres.
CITY OP MEXICO, Jan. 6. The com
mittee on international sanitary regula
tions of the Pan-American Conference will
report this week, unless the conference is
broken up by the delegates over arbitra
tion. The recommendations on sanitary
matters are perhaps of greater practical
importance than any that have hitherto
been submitted to the conference. ThB
recommendation that will attract most at
tention in the United States is that which
looks to the nationalization of quarantine.
The report recommends an international
arrangement on the following basis:
"First All matters relating to maritime
quarantine should be Intrusted to the na
tional governments, which shall have tho
sole right to institute maritime quaran
tine; to establish the necessary quarantine
stations, both local and floating; to de
fine the length of time during which a
vessel may be detained, and to adopt such
measures as may be deemed necessary to
prevent the Introduction of contagious
diseases.
"Second In the ports of each of the
signatory states there should be estab
lished two kinds, of quarantine first, the
quarantine of Inspection or observation,
and, second, the quarantine of detention
and disinfection.
"Third The signatory parties agree to
recommend that prohibitive quarantine
on all kinds of new manufactured business
between ports and territories of the par
ties shall be abolished.
"Fourth The signatory parties hereby
agree to co-operate with and lend every
possible effort to the municipal, provl
cial or local authorities within their re
spective limit, to the end that efficient
and modern sanitary conditions may bo
obtained in all the ports and territories
of each, for the purpose that quarantine
restrictions may be diminished to a min
imum and finally abolished.
"Fifth The signatory republics further
agree that It shall be the duty of their
respective health and quarantine organ
izations to notify promptly the diplo
matic, or consular representatives ot. the
signatory republics--stationed within their
sovereign limits of the following: diseases,
.namelyi ,, Cholera, 'yellow fever, bubonic
plague, smallpox, or .other serious "pesti
lential outbreaks. It shall be the duty of
the sanitary authorities In the respective
ports to note on the bills of health the
transmissible diseases which may exist
in said ports prior to the sailing of the
vessel.
"Sixth In order to bring health and
quarantine organizations more closely to
gether for mutual benefit and internation
al co-operation, a general convention of
representatives of these organizations
shall be provided for as hereinafter speci
fied. "In order to promote the above alms, it
is recommended that an International san
itary commission be established whose
membership shall consist of not to exceed
seven delegates appointed by each re
public; said delegates to be selected from
the respective health and quarantine or
ganizations of each republic, so far as
practicable; that a general convention of
these delegates shall be held once every
two years. In which convention one dele
gate may represent more than one repub
lic, the voting to be by republics, each
republic represented having one vote In
the convention. The first general conven
tion shall be called by the President of
the United States, at Washington, one
year from the adoption of these resolu
tions by this conference, and the meeting
place or places of subsequent conventions
shall be determined by the general con
vention. The executive board shall con
sist of five members, to be elected by the
general convention, which, with the Surgeon-General
of the Marine Hospital" Serv
ice of the United States, as chairman ex
officio, shall maintain a permanent Inter
national sanitary bureau at Washington,
D. C.
"The functions of the convention shall
be advlsorj In character; they shall make
manifest, practical and active the latest
scientific knowledge which the world has
obtained In sanitation, to the end that
the public health may be protected and
that commerce may be facilitated. The
salaries and expenses of the delegates
and experts of each republic are to te
paid by the respective governments which
they serve."
There is no essential change in the ar
bitration situation. The most hopeful
feature Is that both sides continue to
negotiate, porvlng that they are not anx
ious to push tninga to extremes.
TALES OF THE WRECK.
(Continued troj First Page.)
until later, when I was hoisted out of
the lifeboat to the deck of the Dispatch.
When my turn came, a rope was tied
around me under the arms, and knotted.
I had very little clothing to protect me
from the pressure of the awkward knot,
and as I was raised up with a Jerk I
felt my ribs give way where the knot
pressed against me. Then I fainted and
became so much dead weight. The ves
sel was tosIng about in the waves at a
lively rate, and I swung: with consid
erable force against her side. When I
reached the deck I regained conscious
ness for a few moments and then fainted
again."
Second Assistant Engineer Kottzsch-
raar oi tne united states revenue cutter
service, whose young wife was lost right
before his eyes in the surf as the boat
they were .in capsized, denounces bitter
ly the conduct of the men he had In the
boat with him.
"In that boat," said Kottzschmar,
"there was not a single person belonging
to the ship's company. All were pas
sengers. I was the only one who knew
anything about handling a boat. The
others knew nothing, would do nothing
and acted like a crowd of cowards. I
took the boat for CO miles. For 30 hours
I was at the helm, trying to manage her
as best I could, aided only by my wife,
who bravely tried to cheer and encour
age the frantic men, who were weeping
and walling. As we drew near land, h
wanted to haul off and lie to, to be
picked up. I did not want to land In
that big surf, and insisted, pl-aded,
threatened with them, but It was no use.
The boat drove In and was upset my
wife being the only one lost."
Albert Meydenbauer. Jr., aged 15 years
whose home Is in Seattle displayed a
courage that Is not often found In a
small boy. During the terrible moments
of excitement that followed the collision
young Meydenbauer's first thought was
for the safety of his mother. A life
boat was Just about to leave tho Walla
Walla, which was fast settling In the
ocean, when the boy led his mother along
the deck to where the lifeboat was toss
ing on the swell below. The seaman In
charge saw the mother and her brave son
and shouted that there was only room
for one person.
"Then take my mother, and Til stay,"
shouted young Meydenbauer. The sea
men marvelled at his courage and they
took Mrs. Meydenbauer aboard and left
Albert to shift for himself. She waved
her son good bye and then began crying
for his safety. After caring for his moth
er young Meydenbauer got on board a life
raft and was picked up by the Dispatch.
Jesse A. Sell, of Angels Camp, who was
pulled out of the water by Captain Hall,
is suffering from a deep scalp wound and
numerous bruises. He Is unable to move
He was taken from tho Pomona by rela
tives to a sanitarium. At a late hour
last night he was resting easily, but it
was feared that erysipelas would follow.
He was on his way to the Interior of
Washington to take charge of some large
mines.
Miss Rose Peters, who was on her way
., attle t0 become the bride of Arthur
Wilkins, of that place, said that after the
vessels struck there was a wild scramble
for life preservers, and many passengers
were frantic because they could not dis
cover where they were kept She finally
secured one and got into the last boat
that left the vessel. Twenty-nine hours
later the boat was picked up by the
Ranger.
Frank Lupp, second officer of the Ill
fated Walla Walla. Is slowly recovering
from the effects of his long exposure In
the water. He denies the story that he
was on watch at the time, and says that
a great Injustice has been done to him
by reason of the reports that he was the
officer In charge He says that shortly be
fore the collision occurred he was re
lieved by the third officer. He says that
both he and the Captain rushed to the
bridge wheri the vessel struck.
Among' those picked up by the Dispatch
was Mrs. John L. TImmonds, of Dawson.
She came out last August and had been
spending the last six months In Califor
nia. She was on her way back to Join
her husband in Dawson, intending to go
in over the ice and had purchased an
outfit and clothing for the trip, all of
which went down on the "Walla Walla.
She Ib loud In her praise of the conduct
of Captain Hall.
The stories of other passengers do not
differ materially from those already
given.
THE CONTEST IN OHIO.
Small Favor "Will Be Shovrn to For
aker Men In the Hoase.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 5-The Republican
caucus last night named the Foraker
ticket for the Senate and the Hanna
ticket for the House. Today the contest
was continued on the same lines over
the make-up of the standing committees
and It Is evident that the chairmanship
and preferred places will go the same
way as the offices. Price, who was de
feated for Speaker by McKInnon, will be
shown consideration as chairman of the
Judiciary committee, and the chairman
ship of tho committee on municipal af
fairs, In deference to George B. Cox. will
go to some member from Cincinnati, but
the courtesy will not be extended further.
The Senate committees are being ap
portioned by a special committee on the
lines of the Republican caucus, with the
Democrats cc operating.
Hohiion Will Enter Politics.
BIRMINGTON. Ala., Jan. 5. A special

that Captain Richmond P. Hobson will

A HOME FOR THE JEWS
CHICAGO GIVES IMPETUS. TO THE
ZIONIST MOVEMENT.
Rabbi Hlrsch'H ViewsWhy He Pre
fers America to Palestine
PeUin Decorated.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5. Impetus to the move
ment to establish the Jewish race once
more in Palestine was given tonight at a
mass meeting of Zionists at the Medina
Temple Theater. Two thousand Hebrews,
for the most part supporters of the plan
to open again the promised land for the
chosen people, crowded the hall. The
meeting was In connection with the an
nual convention of Western Zionists,
whose organization embraces 10 states.
The plan determined upon at the Basle,
Switzerland, conference was outlined by
Leon Zolotokoff, grand master of the
Knights of Zion, who said that the idea
was to create a legally assured home for
the Jews, and a refuge for Jews who can
not be assimilated by the people among
whom they now live.
"We don't mean to take the Jews by the
neck and throw them Into Palestine," he
said, "nor do we intend to transform
the Jews overnight into an agricultural
people. We want to resume tho br6ken
thread of our nation; we want to show
the world the moral strength, the Intel
lectual power of the Jewish people. We
want a place where the race can again
be centralized."
Rabbi Dmll G. Hlrsch gave his views on
the proposed movement. In view of the
fact that the Zionists consider Dr. HIrsch's
attitude on the question hostile to their
plans, great Interest was manifested In
his remarks. He said:
"I agree wih you that tho condition of
7.000.000 Jews in Russia, Roumanla and
Galicia is a blot on civilization and cries
out to heaven for redress. The world is
stirred by accounts cf suffering of th
women In the concentration camps In
South Africa. No doubt their condition
is bitter, but the condition of the Jews in
Russia is worse. Yet. while voices are
raised In protest to England against her
treatment of the South African women,
no voice is raised in behalf of the Jew.
Why? Because they are Jews. What
matters It that they suffer; they are Jews.
Behind them stand no guns nor armored
ships; they are Jews. They have suffered
38 centuries; let them suffer more. That
Is the condition which calls out to heaven
for Justice, and not for charity.
"It is for these Jews that the name of
their country spells 'hope.' I should not
be a man If I did not realize that for
these persecuted Jews, Jerusalem spells
reason, justice, manhood and liberty.
"Shall we call them to America? 1
would gladly do so If their coming would
be a solution of the problem. From the
prey of Russia to the sweatshops of
America does not spell redemption. It
your plan will offer freedom, take Pales
tine, and I will be with you and we will
all work together.
"I have a nation, and I will npt ex
change It for a nation in Jerusalem. 1
have my flag, and I will not exchange It.
I have a legally assured home, for afte
all what we suffer here Is Inconsequential.
Let the Jew learn to strike back when he
Is struck, and they will learn to leavo
him alone. His condition -nould be bet
tered if he. would keep the rest In whole
some fear of a Jewish fist and a Jewish
kick."
At the business session, the convention
re-elected Leon Zolotokoff, of Chicago, as
grand master.
PEKIN IN GALA ATTIRE.
Foreign Min Inters Will Not Witness
the Rc-Kntry of the Court.
PEKIN, Jan. 5. The Chinese capital on
the eve of the court's return presents
an animated and gaudy scene never be
fore witnessed in its history. All the
palaces, pagodas and temples have been
repaired and painted to form a glitter
ing spectacle. Hundreds of Chinese offl
clite cled In furs and embroidered silks,
ride about the streets of Pekin, and par
ties of foreign soldiers, bent upon sight
seeing, roam everywhere. Thousands of
new soldiers from the Province of Shan
Tung, who are finely uniformed and
equipped with modern weapons, entered
Pekin this morning and marched through
Legation street.
The foreign Ministers have decided, in
consideration of recent events, not to
witness the re-entry of the court.
Negotiations concerning the Manchurian
treaty await the arrival of the court.
MISS STONE'S CAPTORS.
Being; Untitled bythe Turk Where
They Are Hiding.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 5.-The news
that the brigands holding Miss Stone cap
tive are being hustled by the Inhabitants
of Turkish territory, where they are said
to be In hiding, has caused a sensation
here. A deadly foud is said to exist be
tween the leaders of the hostile bands,
some of whom are reported to have de
serted and as attempting to re-enter Bul
garia. Much anxiety is felt here -with re
gard to the outcome of these develop
ments. The American legation hero has not yet
received news from M. Gargluot, the
dragoman of the legation, who left Sa
lonika for the interior the latter part of
last month with the purpose of confer
ring with Miss Stone's captors. Mem
bers of the legation say the rumors of
Miss Stone's release are quite unfounded.
American Invasion of France.
PARIS, Jan. 5. La Liberie has pub
lished a Report to the effect thnt the
Rockefellers intend to apply for a con
cession to supply gas to tho City of
Paris. The paper vigorously opposes this
scheme, and says it would be an act of
mental aberration to accept such a prop
osition which would be disastrous to na
tional prestige and a powerful help to
the designs of the Americans who wish
not only to expel foreign Industry from
their own country, but who seek to sup
plant foreigners on their own ground.
La Liberte says the Rockefellers would
not use a ton of French coal, and that
the granting of this concession to them
would be a mighty weapon for the real
ization of the economic schemes of Amer
ican Imperialism in Europe.
British Military LosneM in Africa.
LONDON, Jan. 5. The total reduction
of Great Britain's military forces In
South Africa from the beginning of the
war to December, Including deaths from
disease, men reported missing, etc.,
amounts to 24.299 men. Of this number
1S,30 were actually killed or died. A
total of 64,230 men were Invalided home,
the majority of whom recovered and
joined their commands.
German Mormon Conference.
BERLIN, Jan. 5. The German Mormon
Conference has assembled here under the
leadership of Hugh J. Cannon, son of the
late George Q. Cannon, the well-known
Mormon apostle. One hundred and twen-ty-flve
Mormori missionaries are now
working in Germany and have secured
2000 followers. The present conference Is
attended by more than 100 of the Ger.
man missionaries.
Anarchist Plots In Spain.
MADRID, Jan- 5. The police have dis
covered traces of anarchist plots In the
towns of Jerez de la Frontera, Alcada do
los Gasules and Archos do la Frontera,
in the Province of Cadiz. Forty-nine ar
rests were made.
Login; Her Colonial Trade.
LONDON, Jan. 5. Statistics Just Is
sued show that of the total trade with
her colonies. Great Britain only pos
sesses 42 per cent, while the United
States has 12 per cent and that the latter
Is rapidly increasing her trade, not only
with Canada, but with Australia. The
Standard, In an editorial, expresses its
disappointment In this regard and Insists
upon the necessity of tho country bestir
ring itself.
ArabHJihcd by Boers.
PRETORIA, Jan. 5. The Boers am
bushed a party of the Scots Grays last
Sunday near Bronkhortsprult (about 40
miles east of Pretoria on the railroad).
The British casualties were six men
killed and 10 wounded.
NEW YEAR OPENED BRIGHTER
More Cheerfnl Feeling on the Lon
don Stock Exchange.
LONDON, Jan. 5. The atmosphere on
the London Stock Exchange has been
more cheerful since the beginning of the
year than for a long while past. The
activity that developed with the resump
tion of business January 2 was greatly
aided by the abundance of money with
which a stringent market has recently and
suddenly become flooded. Professional op
erators were naturally anxiouB for a rise,
and did their utmost to foster the boom,
hut, however good were tho promises
upon which the predicted advance was
based, the public thus far has not been
responsive. This hesitancy is due equally
to the lack of faith and to the lack of
ca3h with which to speculate. Until the
public can be re-enthused the boom is
bound to drag.
The greatcsrSitallty at the close of the
last week was exhibited by Kaffirs. This
vitality was based not so much upon the
genuine hope of the proximity of peace,
as the belief that the completion of the
blockhouses would soon render Johannes
burg safe for miners, whether the war
stops or not. There was considerable ac
tivity in De Beers, on reorganization, but
in conservative opinion the current quo
tations are quite as high as the reorgan
ized prospects warrant. It is alleged In
some quarters that much of the buying
of De Beers has been on American ac
count. The American section of the stock ex
change showed little business. American
quotations perfunctorily follow New York
prices. There has been so much talk,
however, of the high point having been
overreached In the United States
that investors have grown decidedly cau
tious. Copper continues to be an unsolved
question. In spite of the talk of a further
drop. It is apparent that substantial inter
ests here have sufficient money and faith
to buy liberally on every decline, so a
serious break is not likely unless there
arc unexpected developments In the United
States.
Both in Germany and in France the
outlook for the new year Is more hope
ful. There Is considerable money in Paris
awaiting some encouraging lead to seek'
Investment.
THE BERLIN BOURSE.
Marked Improvement In All Depart
ments. BERLIN, Jan. 5. The bourse begins the
new year with a marked improvement In
all departments, and It Is the general
opinion that a considerable bull move
ment has commenced. A favorablo fac
tor during the last week was the ease of
the money market', the mining boom In
London, the strength of the Vienna
bourse, the utterances of President Koch,
of tho Relchsbank, upon the German busi
ness situation, the reduction of freight
over Prussia railroads In Iron exported
from German ports, and finally, tho re
ports on the American Iron and copper
markets. All the German state loans were
heavily bought as investments. American
railway shares were neglected.
Irons were strong at the week's end as
a result of the announcement of the re
duction of stocks and through reduced
production, diminished imports and in
creased exports, as well as numerous
other indications of 'an improvement In
the iron situation. The Vossische Zeitung
already warns the public against a too
optimistic view of the iron situation,
which, It says, Is still very bad. y The
bourse reportB, however. Indicate that
outsiders have been speculative, buying In
iron and coal shares. Yesterday all the
Industrials were In strong .demand, and
many advanced 10 points during the week.
These latter include iron and coal shares.
During the past week the money market
was extremely easy, and the press pre
dicts that the Relchsbank will make an
early reduction In the rate of discount.
Money has been heavily offered since the
first of the year.

LEAK QUICKLY STOPPED.
Repairs to the Steamship Pembroke
shire. ASTORIA, Jan. 5. The leak in the
steamship Pembrokeshire has been
stopped by Captain Kennedy, with the
assistance of his engineering force, and
now she Is not making any water. Af
ter the seat of the leak was found the
cement was cut away to disclose the ex
tent of it, and It was considered so easy
to repair that Captain Kennedy put
wooden plugs In, and In a short time the
pumps showed that the repair had been
successful. A surveyor is on his way
from San Francisco, under orders from
tho owners to make an Inspection of the
vessel, and is expected to arrive tomor
row. Captain Kennedy feels perfectly
confident that the Injury is only trivial,
and that the surveyor, upon examination,
will so decide.

BRYAN SPOKE FOR BOERS I
MAYOR JOHNSON ANOTHER.ORATOR
AT A CLEVELAND MEETING.
The Nebraakan Believes the Demo
crats Will Insert a Money
Plank in Next Platform.
CLEVELAND. Jan. 5. Four thousand
people attended a pro-Boer meeting in
Gracy's Armory this afternoon. There
was enthusiastic applause for every ex
pression of sympathy and encouragement
for the struggling Boers. An unexpected
occurrence In the meeting was the appear
ance of Hon. W. J. Bryan, who was In
this city for the day as the guest of Mayor
Johnson. When the committee In charge of
the meeting learned that the Demo
cratic leader was In the city, an Invita
tion was sent to him and the Mayor to
attend and address the gathering. Both
gentlemen accepted and when, towards
the close of other speeches, Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Johnson entered the hall, the
audience rose en masse and repeatedly
shouted the names of "Bryan" and "John
son," and greeted them -with hurrahs and
handciappings.
Upon the stage were seven native Boers
who had been in some of the early con
flicts of their countrymen against the
English forces. They were driven from
the country and are now residents of
this city.
The meeting continued for four hours,
the principal addresses being delivered
by Hon. John J. Lentz
Wbcn the formal speeches were con
cluded, Messrs. Bryan and Johnson were
called upon to address the audience. Mr.
Bryan spoke for about five minutes, dur
ing which time he said:
"Sad will be the day. fallen will be
the star of our destiny, if the time ever
comes when struggling free men feel that
they cannot look upon the people of these
states for sympathy."
Mr. Bryan who said that he was in
entire sympathy with the Intent of the
meeting, eulogized the fighting South
African farmers, and urged that they con
tinue the struggle. He said he was glad
the war had cost England dearly and tjiat
the disastrous cost in money and life
would be a much needed lesson for the
English Goverr.rnent. because it would
teach, and has already taught, a lesson
that will not be soon forgotton. Mr.
Bryan said that he considered It a com
pliment that the Boers looked to the
United States for aid and sympathy In
their struggle. He considered it a dis
grace, he said, that no official expression
of sympathy had yet been made by this
Government.
Mayor Johnson also spoke briefly. He
said he was In full sympathy with the
Intent of the meeting and expressed simi
lar sentiments to those given by Mr.
Bryan, saying tho English people general
ly were opposed to the war
Resolutions passed will be sent to Presi
dent Roosevelt. They call attention to the
denunciation by President McKInley of
the system of reconcentratldn camps and
a quotation from the Manchester (Eng
land) Guardian, of September last, which
states that a degree of suffering exists
In those camps without a parallel in
history. President Roosevelt is asked to
continue the efforts of his predecessor to
bring tojan end the horrors of concentra
tion came and a warfare which by "Its
unexampled ferocity and enormous cost
of life and treasure has astonished the
civilized world."
He is also asked to enforce the treaty
of Washington, of May 8, 1871, denying
the vessels operating under British au
thority opportunity for the augmentation
of supplies of war from the United States.
W. J. Bryan will go to Wooster. O., to
morrow to speak at a Jackson day ban
quet tomorrow night, thence to New
Haven, Conn. Concerning the Democratic
platform Mr. Bryan said he thought it
too early to forecast such a document,
but believed the party would stand by
what It has fought for In the past two
campaigns, and that the money plank
would be Included In the platform.
Regarding his own candidacy for the
Presidency, Mr. Bryan said that he was
not a candidate for anything. Asked if
he considered Mayor Johnson the logical
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency In 1S04, Mr. Brynn
sold:
"There is nobody In the United States
wher is at present qualified to name the
Democratic candidate. It would hardly
be proper for rhe to assume the right to
discuss any particular candidate at pres
ent. This is because I am not prepared
to discuss the relative merits of men
who might be associated with the Demo
cratic nomination. As far as Mr. Johnson
is concerned, every well-informed man
in the country knows Mr. Johnson and
his work; but when you come to discuss
Presidential possibilities, that Is another
question."

armed citizens, who will be expected to
keep the town free of the criminal class.

selves when called upon, and falling to

of their reasons for being abroad, will be

lice Magistrates will be urged to mako
punshment for crime so heavy as to
deter even the most desperate. For
months past thugs and thieves have
overrun this city. Women have been
criminally assaulted In their own houses
and on the streets, hold-ups and rob
beries have been of almont dally occur
rence, and even murder has been com
mitted at times when the occasion, from
the standpoint of the vicious, demanded
it. Tho murder of 11-year-old Harold
Fridborn and the assault on his sister
New Year's night aroused the people to
a fury that augurs poorly for the thug
who falls Into their hands In the future.

out and completely restored the color."
