CARNEGIE HALL, NEW YORK,
Sept. 18. Democracy's Presidential cam
paign in Greater New York had its ad
vent tonight, when William J. Bryan,
at a mass meeting under the auspices
of Tammany Hall, spoke before en
thusiastic thousands, who filled Carnegie
Hall and overflowed into the streets. The
ovation accorded to the candidate was a
brilliant climax to a day in which
u n i t ed pa rt y rave M r. Bryan a con-
tinuous reception.
Mr. Brvan spoke for more than an
hour on "Republican Tendencies" at Car
negie Hall. On hie arrival here today
Mr. Bryan spoke at a noonday meeting
and during the afternoon held constant
levees at his hotel, where Democratic
leaders in the city and state called upon
him.
Previous to the Carnegie Hall meeting
tonight Mr. Bryan was entertained at
dinner at the home of Melbert fc.. uarey.
On anDroachinar Carnegie Hall a little
later. M r. Brvan was given an ovation
by a crowd of 10.000 or more persons who
could not get in the hall. The candidate
was taken to a flag-draped cart and from
it he made a brief speech. He was
cheered repeatedly. Mr. Bryan then left
the cart and went into Carnegie Hall.
Ovation as In Old Times. -
When Secretary Smith, of Tammany
Hall, called the mass meeting to order,
every seat was filled Chairman Herman
Rldder sooke on tariff reform.
When Mr. Bryan and his party stepped
from an entrance upon the stage a Bryan
demonstration like those of eight and
twelve years ago followed. Men leaped
to their chairs and yelled and shouted
while the band played lively tunes. Chair
man Bidder's voice was lost as tie Drieny
introduced the Democratic candidate.
When quiet was restored after a ten -min
ute outburst or enthusiasm, Jir. ryan
began his speech on "Republican Tenden
cies." He spoke as follows:
Parties are to be measured not merely by
thn thins antuailv done, but by their tend
encies- Sine It 1 eaaier to remedy evils
In the beginning than after they are full
grown, it la imooruni to Know me w
rinrlM nf nurtlfs Am well ftl' tO know bow
far they have gone. I desire tonight to call
attention to some of the tendencies of the
Republican party.
Take, for examtle. the matter of extrava-
aanre In exDendltures. The tendency of
! th Republican oarty la to Increase the ex-
! tendlturs of the Government out of all
croDortion to the Increase of the popula
tion- At the flrat $esalon of the present
Cona-reaa these appropriations exceeded one
billion. This Is twice the appropriations of
a session of (he Fifty-fin eonsrews, which
wae the highest appropriation known up to
that time.
Explained by Imperialism.
The aDDroDrlations of the last session ex
ceeded the appropriations of the preceding
yar by $10 ovO.ooo an increase of almost
10 per cent, showing that In matters of
appropriations the Republican leaders are
hurrying on at an accelerated pace. The
Increase In the number of office-holders is
likewise enormous. The at proprlatlons in
the Army and Navy alone show an Increase
of $120,000,000 a year over the appropn
, atlona of 11 years ago. What excuse can
be given for the trebling of the appropri
ations for Army and Navy? No Nation is
unfriendly to the United States; no internal
rauMi Justify the Increase. No outside
cause except Imperialism can furnish an
explanation.
There are two reasons why the Republi
can leaders are less careful of expenditures
than the Democrats. The flist is to be
found in the fact that the Republican lead
ers are more Intimately associated with the
taxcaters than with the taxpayers and. be-;
Ing governed by the public opinion with
which they come Into contact, they natur
ally lean toward extravagance.
The second reason Is to be found In the
fact that the Republican leaders have been
representing taxation as a blessing, and
they naturally want to give the toeple as
much of the blessing as possible. They
arrue that we should hare a high tariff
whether we need the revenue or not. but,
recognising that there Is some opposition
to unnecessary taxation, they try to make
the appropriations hicrh enough to compel
the extortionate tariff rates demanded by
the protected interests The Democrat to
party, believing that a tax Is a necessary
evil, endeavors to limit the tax to the
actual needs of t he Government economi
cally administered.
Succession to Presidency.
The present campaign presents another
tendency of the Republican party, namely to
substitute succession for the Democrat lo
plan of popular selection. The President
felt It his duty to select a Republican nom
inee, and having reached the conclusion that
he ought to select auch a nominee, he
brought the Influence of his great office to
bear in behalf of the candidate of his per
sonal choice, and Is now using his influence
to secure the election of the candidate whom
he assisted in nominating. If Mr. Roosevelt
can pick out the Republican candidate this
yar and then use the prestige of his office
ana the influence of the army or orrice-nom-ers
t elct him. may not Mr. Taft pick out
his successor and elect him. and so on from
administration to administration? '
Tho time to correct this abuse and to stop
this tendency ts now. If this attempt Is suc
cMful, It will be accepted as a precedent
for another attempt, and the people, having
submitted once, will be fess aroused by rep
etition of tho attempt.
Republicans Foster Socialism.
The third Republican tendency to which
I call your attention Is the tendency to
ward Social tern. The Republican party is
loud In Its denunciation of Socialism, but it
Is constantly feeding and augmenting the
Socialistic spirit. It its latest National plat
form It boldly declares that reasonable
pro ft t should be guaranteed to the pro
tected Industries. It dtfnds the principle of
monopoly on the theory that competition is
hurtful. In taking this position it supports
the main contention of the Socialists. Mr.
Taft. the Republican candidate, in the
speech announcing his candidacy, advocated
such amendment of tho ant 1-trust law as
would make It apply only to unreasonable
restraint of trade. This Idea that reasonable
restraint of trade Is unobjectionable la the
entering wedge It is the first step toward
th annihilation of the principle of compe
tition. Democrats Argue With Socialists.
The Democratic party has been called a
Socialistic party, and I have been denounced
as a Socialist. I contend that the Repub
lican party, not the Democratic party, la
aiding the Socialistic partv; and this Is evi
denced from the fact that Socialistic leaders
prefer Republican success to Democratic suc
cess. Thev far the Democrat to reforms will
retard Socialism, and they believe that Re
publican abuse can be used to arouse op
position to the entire competitive svstera.
The Democratic party would argue with the
Socialist, while the Republican party de
nounces him; but the Democratic party
would remove the spirit of unrest and dis
content by eliminating the abuses that are
the foundation of unrest and discontent.
We. appeal to the sober sense of the Amer
ican people and ask that thev Join us in- the
Inauguration of reforms which will restore
the Government to its old foundations and
win for the Government the love of all the
people by making it the protector of every
class and the friend of every legitimate in
terest and enterprise.
Travelers' League at noon, that the
police had difficulty in forcing a way
for the candidate's automobile through
the demonstrative throng.
Steel Trust Supporting Taft. '
On his arrival Mr. Bryan was be
sieged with questions about his charge
that the Steel Trust was supporting
the Republican party. In reply to the
question:
"Does your charge that the Republi
can party is protecting the Steel Trust
extend to the Chief Executive?" he re
plied. "I stated what everybody knows
that the Steel Trust has not been
prosecuted and no prominent Republl
can has said anything against it.
ha-re said that the Steel Trust is sup
porting the Republican ticket and that
the Republican National Committee
will not -dare to publish before election
the contributions they will receive
from the officials of the Steel Trust.
Mr. Sheldon virtually admits this to be
true in an intervieiw in the New York
Herald. He is the treasurer of 'the
Republican National Committee, and
as I understand it. a director of con
stituent corporations of the Steel
Trust. He Is quoted as saying:
'If a member of the executive com
mittee or an officer of the United
States Steel Corporation wishes to
support the Republican party, has he
not the same rights as any other in
dividual? "
Mr. Bryan spent the night at the home
of Melbert Carey and will leave tomor
row for New Haven and Providence.

WARD SEEKS AWFUL DEATH
ENGLISH ARMY MAX THROW
HIMSELF IXDER TRAIX.
Driven to Desperation by Anony
mous Letters Accusing Him oX
Murdering His Wife.
WATERINSBURT. England, Sept 18.
Major - General Charles Edward
Luard. retired, whose wife was myi'
teriously murdered near London, Au
Kust 24, committed suicide today by
throwing: himself in front of a railroad
train. His body was found later close
to a railroad crossing not far from
Waterlnsbury.
General Luard had been a guest of
Colonel Charles Edward Warde, M. P.
at Teston. He left the house early thla
morning and, going directly to the rail
road, threw himself in front of an in
coming train. Colonel Warde found a
letter from General Luard. saying his
body would be found under the train.
He explained that such awful accusa
tions had been made against him that
he could no longer stand the strain
The Genera) had received letters accus
inar him of having murdered his wife.
Mrs. Luard was shot near Seven Oaks
on the afternoon of August 24, a few
moments after her husband had left her
to go to a nearby club on an errand.
When he returned he found her dead.
The tragic death of the General, who
was the last person to see his wife
alive and the first to find her body,
has revived interest In this murder,
which the police authorities thus far
have been unable to unravel. The in
quest, which is to be resumed next
week, has not revealed the slightest clew
to the murderer. All the witnesses
agree that Mrs. Luard nad not an
enemy in the world, while the facta
dispute the theory of robbery, because
Mrs. Luard s purse and rings, which
were taken from her body, were of
little value. An expert testified that
it was impossible for the bullets which
caused death to have been fired from
any of the revolvers owned by General
Luard.
The text of General Luard's letter to
Colonel Warde is as follows:
'You will find my body at the Tes
ton Crossing. I am sick of the scan
dalous and lying reports, and I cannot
face my on, whom I expected to meet
today, and I have decided to end my
life."
General Luard's son. who Is an army
officer, is expected to arrive at South
ampton today from the Transvaal.

by the Manuka.
Meanwhile the survivors have plenty of
food and water and there is shelter for
the women In the houses of a working
camp of some pearl fishermen employed

From the day the Aeon left San
Francisco nothing had been heard of
her until the dispatch telling of the
safety of the passengers on Christmas
Island. This island Is located near
the equator, about 1000 miles south of
Honolulu and S500 miles southwest of
San Francisco. It is nearly 1000 miles
northeast of Apia and It is supposed
that the vessel was disabled in her ma
chinery and drifted or in some other
manner, managed to make the island
n safety. Fanning Island Is Just south
of Christmas Island and both are Brit
ish possessions.
Christmas Island has only a few in
habitants, is off the track of even wind'
ammers and is one of the world's most
solated spots.
In addition to the officers and crew
on the Aeon she carried Chaplain B.
R. Patrick, U. S. N.. and family and
the wife of Naval Lieutenant W. K.
Riddle.
The vessel was placed on the over
due board at 25 per cent reinsurance
and after remaining at the figure for
a time. Jumped to 40 and later to 60
per cent.

CAPTAIN" IX OTHER WRECKS
Master of Aeon Has Had Life of
Thrilling Experiences.
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 18. Mrs. H.
C. Brewster, sister of Captain Downle,
of the steamer Aeon. has received a
cablegram from him, stating he has ar
rived at Fanning Island, leaving the
crew and passengers safe on Christmas
Island. No mention is made of the
steamer In the message received by
her.
Captain Downle, who is commodore
of the Howard Smith Company, owners
of the Aeon, has had many experiences
and has been previously shipwrecked.
When his uncle's ship, Turkish Em
pire, was wrecked off the Newfound
land Coast, 20 years ago, he was one of
nine men saved, after floating for hours
on wreckage. His uncle. Captain West
and others, were drowned.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. A net de
crease of six in the number of cases 4t
cholera In Manila is reported today by
Governor-General Smith of the Philip-
Dines.
The cablegram says the condition
today are more favorable. The report
adds:
"This little outbreak was due entire
ly to Infection from the provinces and
the concealment of the cases by rela
tives and friends. This enabled the
cholera to get a hold before the health
department had any knowledge or th
state of affairs. A large corps of in
spectors and lisfnfectors has been em
ployed and the fire department and
chemical engines are now being used
for disinfecting purposes. This, to
gether with the vigilance exercised by
the police, will Soon put this little out

the Democrats of Churchill County In

HE fruit section is certainly the most
attractive part of the market at this
season, no matter whether you regard It
from a gastronomic or from, a purely
aesthetic point of view. For variety of
flavor and of service, and for beauty and
glow of form and color, the fruits of
September and October must be given the

the wonderful berries and cherries that
are now only luscious memories, or are

Prunes, both Italian and Hungarian,

5 cents a pound, with some reduction on

possibilities of this fruit for preserving.
Whether simply canned, or as Jam, Jelly,

preserving. Citron melons are coming in
and cost 3 cents a pound.
I saw some fine strawberries, "Taft
strawberries," the vendor called them
and the name was not inappropriate, at
30 cents a box. Blackberries are prac
tically over and are higher in price than
last week, costing usually 23 cents for
three boxes. Watermelons, too, have
waned both In quality and popularity
but there are plenty of good cantaloupes
from 5 to 25 cents each. Huckleberries
are 12ft cents a pound. Crabapples are 6
cents a pound, but are getting rather too
ripe for firm jelly, though still fairly good
for pickles.
- New hazelnuts are in and cost 20 cents
a quart. There are also new dried figs,
both in bulk, at 10 cents a pound, or in
packages at 15 cents. Pineapples are very
good just now, and quite large ones can
be had for 25 to 35 cents. Among the
grapes, Oregon Concords are coming In
at 36 cents a box. Tokay, Malaga and
the Thompson seedless grapes are all
about 45 to 50 cents a box. There were
a few green figs at 50 cents a dozen and
nectarines 10 cents a dozen. Apples are
becoming daily better and more plentiful
and cost from 11 to 12 a box.
Among the vegetables, celery, celeriao
cauliflower (10 and 15 cents) and Brussels
sprouts (12ft cents) are the newer arrivals.
while corn (30 cents a dozen) and peas
(three pounds for 25 cents) are Just about

asparagus, and shell beans, all about 6

are "about as cheap as they will be."
From 35 to 40 cents a box seemed the
general price. "Cherry" and "egg" to
matoes, for preserving, are, 26 cents a
basket.
Green peppers are Just now at their
best, and cost only 10 cents a pound.
There are several available varieties of
squash, Including some that I mistook
