I said hundreds of these Immigrants have ma.ie tneir way across tne Mexican acllv and were told that the best move we could make was to our own city Wh'Te we knew our people. "We left Pekln on the morning of June t. forcing our way through howl ing mob. There were twenty-three of us In the party when we left Hurahoso and struck out over the deic-rt ten men. seven women and six children. The children were all very young and the progeny of tlw Hwedlsh niiHsiona (les. We had twenty camels, twelve horses and six camel cart. To take care of the camel we had seven Mon gol camel driver, who were afraid of their live every minute. We were compelled to keep continual watch on them to Insure that they would not de sert. "Lasson, w ho had charge of the cara van, told us when we started out that If we traveled In the daytime we would kill th camels and If wo traveled at night we would have to take chances on killing tome of the people, "It turned out that when we got through we had a sufficient amount of food, but we were sfrald all along that we would not have nough and all through the trip across the des ert we were on short rations, our main difficulty was shortage of water. Our Journey was between wells and re called to me the Journeys made In Scrip tural times in Palestine. "Camped about each well we found Mongols. They were quite Insolent, but we had fire arms and our men would go out and otenibly hunt and make a great noise with the few shot guns and revolvers that we had and I verily believe that If It hud not been lor this display we would never have reuch'f!

It was a puny little thing and had been brought up on condensed milk. After a few day our cond.-nsed milk was gone. I had charge of the little one and tried my best to save It, but the only milk we could get was milk we bought frm the Mongol women and It was not nourishing. The Mongol wo men never wash the utensils In which tney keep their food. "The little one died, but we kept the body and a little grave In the beautiful cemt tcry In Kiachta.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 9. The St. Louis vast exposition coliseum was crowded tonight In honor of Governor Roose velt, who spoke a little more than an hour. The governor was tired, having ridden In the pwade this afternoon. Afterward he was the guest of hon or at a luncheon given by a St. Louis club. He was escorted from the Plan ter's hotel to the coliseum In the even ing by a large procession. At the con clusion of his address he was escort ed to the union station, where he took his special train for Chicago whence, tomorrow mornins, he will start on his Indiana tour. Governor Roosevelt spoke In part as follows: "If any of you are fortunate enough to know w hether Mr. Bryan If elected will pay the obligations of the Nation In gold or in silver I wish you would divulge this knowledge, for Mr. Bryan won't. There is no doubt about where we stand. We are for the gold stand ard and we are for it on the Atlantic seaboard and in the Rocky Mountains alike. We stand for it everywhere, for we arc fortunate enough to have is sues which do not wear thin In any part W the country. "Now, gentlemen, some people ' say that the sliver Issue is dead. Silver cannot be dead when the people are uncertain as to how a candidate of one or the two great parties would pay the obligations of the government No Is sue is dead when you cannot tell wheth er a creditor or a pensioner, whoever he may be, is to get 48 cents or 100 cents on the dollar. It Is dead to the extent that nobody ventures to argue In its behalf. But If they paid our debts in 4S cent dollars we would care little as to the precise arguments by which they reached the conclusion that warranted that conduct. "All I want you to do from a mater ial standpoint Is to exhume Mr. Bry an's prophecies with their signal non fulfillment." Governor Roosevelt then enumerated some of the predictions which he de clared had been made four years ago by Mr. Bryan, which the facts today proved erroneous. He continued: "Mr. Bryan said mortgages would go up and they were the only things that went down. Mortgages have dl- mimsneu in amount by nearly 40 pjr cent. V hen these things were nointed oui to air. iiryan the other day and it was shown to him that we were pros perous, he answered that It was not the Kepublican party but Providence that made us so. Now I am perfectly will ing to admit that there has been a fus ion between Providence and the Repub lican party. The Democracy has fused with about everything else but some how or other It has never managed to connect with Providence. "Now, gentlemen, I do not wonder that. In the hard times, when things were looking preiiy black, men turned to strange gods. It has always been so since the day that Moses broke the decalogue. I do not wonder when a man feels sick and does not know what Is the matter with him and he can not find out, that he should try a quack medicine once: but If he tries It again I must question his Intelligence. "If the people of this country want to go back Into the siough of despond out of which we have so painfully emerged If they want to do that, why under the constitution It 1s their Inal ienable right. But when they get back do not let them advance the 'I did not know It was. loaded' excuse." are also reported as faying In that connection we fought then for th adoption of a constitutional amendment that provided that no man could own a jtlave, and yet before the Philippine ar is ended we have the Bulu treaty, which recognizes slavery. "Permit me to Invite your attend m to the following extract from a lettsr of the secretary of war to Major-General Oil, commanding the United States forces In the Philippines, undr date of October 27, 1899. "The president Instruct me to advise you thnl the sgrement signed August 20, 1VJ, between Brlgadler-Gtneral J. C. Bates, representing the United States of one part, and the sultan of Jolo. of the other part, 1 confirmed and ap proved, subject to action of congress provided for in the clause of the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain which provides that the civil rights and political status of the na tive Inhabitants of territory hereby ceded to the United States shall be de termined by congress' and with the understanding and reservation which should be distinctly communicated to the sultan of Jolo, that this agree ment la not te be deemed In any way to authorize or give the consent of the United State to the existence of slav ery In the Sulu archipelago, a thing which Is made impossible by the nth amendment to the constitution of the United States."

GEORGETOWN, Ky., Oct. 9.-One of the most remarkable scenes ever enact ed h: a Kentucky court occurred tn- nlght in the Youtsey trial, th defend ant himself being the chief participant The court rcom was crowded and the excitement was Intense. Then Arthur Goebel was put on the stand and Judge Ben Williams, who for the first time appeared for the prosecution, did the questioning. Arthur Goebel said: "I talked with Youtsey the day he was arrested, late in the afternoon in the Jail in Frankfort. In reference to the murder of my brother." Just at this point Youtsey arose behind his attorneys and In a loud voice said: "It is untrue! It Is a lie! I never spoke a word to that man In my life nor he to me." Colonel Crawford told blm to be quiet and sit down and others took hold of ... . ... mm. i win not sit down. I never ald a word to that man. It Is un true." He was shouting by this time ami every one was on the tip toe of expectation. Youtsey's wife sprang to his side and while endeavoring to make him sit down could be heard saying: "Now you have killed my husband I suppose you are satisfied." Then Youtsey hysterically shouted again: "I am Innocent There Is no blood on my bands; these men are swearing my life away." Two or three deputies went over and grabbed him.' He struggled wildly and ' said: "Let me alone; I will not sit down." After Youtsey was forced In to his seat he shouted again: "Goebel Is not dead. All the demons In hell could not kin him." Youtsey settled back in his chair, closed his eye3 and seemed In a state of collapse. Judge Cantrill then post poned the case until tomorrow. Deputies carried Youtsey to Jail as he was unable to walk. Various reasons are assigned for this unseemly outbreak, the first being that his long confinement and the strain of the trial caused him to become hys terical and lose control of himself. Another Is that he Is really demented, as shown by his remark that Goeb.-l was not dead. His condition Is deemed critical. BRYAN ANSWERED.
