Our Most Royal Greetings,
Six Carloads From Salem Accom
pany Him to Gladstone,
Car Decorated With Flowers,
Handsome Appreciation Shown by
His Salem Friends,
The reception accorded Bryan at
Salem upon the arrival ot his special
train was the most hearty and bois
terous on the line of his journey
through Oregon. Lebanon had the
biggest crowd, but Salem beat Leba
non for demonstrations and determin
ation to get near Bryan.
Only small politicians and sordid
natures could resist the cordial pood
will and generous appreciation for
Win. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, as It was
manifest at Salem Monday.
HIS SALEM ADMIRERS
were notonly boisterously enthusiastic
all over the station grounds but they
kept up their attentions In the Bryan
special and decorated with fruit and
(lowers the two coaches chartered for
Bryan by the statecentral committee.
The long train of eleven coaches could
not be handled to let all the crowd sec
Bryan. At Salem water was taken
and this threw the rear coach far
south of the crowd. The struggling
jam ao once began to surge thai way.
But those near the rear car would not
move on and for a time It was a
pandemonium.
People clambered up the rear plat
form in yain efforts to get close to
Bryan. One or the first to grasp his
hand was Hon. Ben Haydon, who pre
sented his daughter Estclla, but the
veteran with his 75 years was soon
f wept on by the crush. District At
torney S. L. Ilaydcn and Mrs. Hay
aen went to Lebanon, where hun
dreds of prominent public meu, many
of them Republicans and supporters or
the gold standard, wore assombled to
extend personal greetings. Sam Hay
den's modesty is well known to all his
friends, but it was so great on this oc
casion that he did not meet Bryan un
til the train pulled IntoSalem, when
ho merely was introduced and said
good bye.
Many loyal supporters of Bryan, like
the Campbell brothers of the Eugene
Guard, the newspaper that carried
that strong Republican county for
him, were op the Bryan special, but
were never even presented. There
was opportunity if they had sought it,
but the Campbells arc not tuft
hunters. So with hundreds or others.
covered wrrn flowers.
That only faintly expresses Bryan's
treatment by the ladles of the Salem
Bimetallic Union. While he was try.
Ing to talk to the seething, twisting,
good-natured mob under the blazing
sun at the rear of the train, the Salem
women got Into his coach and con
yerted it Into a bower of roses, sweet
peas and carnations. The car wa9
locked at each end and was in chargo
of State Democratic Chairman F. A.
A. Starr, of Portland. He constituted
himself Bryan's body guard and even
threatened to use his cane to secure
for Bryan "some of the coveted n.3t
required for the big effort of the day
at Gladstone Park.
But the Salem women broke througn
Starr's regulations and when Bryan
returned to his coach he was given a
surprise he will not soon forget.
The ladles' committee was com
posed of Mrs. Bayne, Mrs. nail, Mrs.
Dennis, Mrs. Charlton, Mrs. Mott,
Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Leabo and Mrs.
E. nofcr. The double seat in the
center of the coach was one mass of
flowers.
Bouquets were piled on the cush
ions, on the floor, over the rails and
the backs on each side. A large
basket of the best Oregon peaches,
nectarines, cherries and pears were
presented to Mr. Bryan as he entered,
and also a bouquet of sixteen to one
white and yellow roses, tied with the
same proportion of silk ribbons.
MRS. BAYNE'S REMARKS.
Mr. Bryan: On behalf of the Sa
lem Bimetallic Union, I have the
pleasure to present you with this
basket of Oregon fruits and this bou
quet of beautiful roses as a token of
their admiration of the dauntless
battle, which you are making for the
cause of bimetallism and humanity.
The train was behind time,
and the roaring and rolling ot
the car taxed Mrs. Bayno's nerves,
but her effort was a success and her
gifts were smilingly received, and the'
ladies were cordially thanked. Bryan
sat down with the ladles of the com
mittee and proceeded to discuss not
Republican ideas on blmctallsm but
black Republican cherries.
The most beautiful bouquets were
one or white roses from Mrs. Taylors'
avenue green house, and one of sweet
peas from Mrs. D: J. Fry. Two Re
publican women in the crowd below
the platform handed up largo bouquets
of cut flowcrS'that were also presented
in the car.
PULLED HIS LEG.
These ladies were determined to
shako hands, but falling in tills one
of them reached up and pulled his
leg. ItiS8lmply impossible to record
flio scenes enacted In such a multi
tude or to do justice to the efforts of
those who deserve to be mentioned for
their kindness and demonstrations of
affection toward Bryan on this occa
sion. WERE THERE.
The whole force of The Journal
olllce, big and little, male and female,
babies and grandfather, shut up shop
and went out to see and hear Bryan.
In the car was the same confusion.
Some one remarked about the im
mense and cLthuslastlc crowd at Sa
lem and said "there was some of the
ragtag and bobtail left of tills nation
after all." "Yes" said Bryan, "and
niy country bred wife would have en
joyed being here and seeing them
too."
FLOWERS IN DEMAND.
All the flowers presented to Bryan
were again distributed by thatgentlc
men and preserved as souvenirs by
many of the ladies to be, pressed. At
Oregon City and Gladstone women
besieged those so fortunate as to se
cure bouquets for a division of tne
treasures.
THE SALEM MEN
on the Bryan reception committee
were crowded to the rear by the ladles
but were afterwards presented to Mr.
Bryan and divided time with the
newspaper reporters. Messrs. Boise,
Davidson and Sherman went to Ore
gon City, the latter two giln on to
Portland.
En route to Gladstone the ovation
continued: At Gcrvais, Woodburn
and Hubbard the crowds were demon
strative. At Oregon City there were
thousands. Col. Robert A. Miller
conducted Bryan to a carriage at Glad
stone and without dinner he went onto
the Chatauqua platform and held the
crowd of six or seven thousand peoplo
for a solid two hours with a presenta
tion of blmetalism that won un
bounded admiration and continous
storms of applause.
THE TRAIN SERVICE
on the Southern Pacific was excellent.
Not a person was hurt. The im
mense crowds were handled with per
fect success, and the greatest credit
belongs to conduotor Lee B. Hon
dricks, of Roseburg and his crew who
run the Bryan special thoough from
Lebanon to Poftland and returned in
the evening.
URYAN AT PORTLAND.
He got off at Madison street bridge
and crossed over in a carriage while
the crowds waited for him at the
Union depot. Ho rested and re
freshed himself at his hotel and then
proceeded to the hall of the Demo
cratic club.
The Oreconian editor, Harvey
Scott was one of the first men to
meet Bryan, at the Golden Rule ba
zaar hall and greeted him cordially.
20,000 AT PORTLAND.
The Oregonlan says today of Bryan's
meeting at Portland:
"There was an Impatient but good
humored crowd of people gathered on
Multnomah Held last evening to hear
the great apostle of sllvcrlsm. There
has been no greater outdoor crowd at
a political gathering in the history of
Portland. Chief Barry was on the
ground with a posse of police to main
tain order, and a band furnished ex
cellent music to entertain the crowd
of waiting people. Mrs. M. L. "Wood
cock created a diversion by appearing
with a bunch of sweet peas, which
she Insisted must be put on the stand
for Bryan, and she got them there.
There were fully 20,000 men, women
and children on the grounds, and, in
the estimation of some, a still larger
number was present. The crowd com
menced to gather as early as 5:30, two
hours before the advertised hour of
speaking, and by 0 o'clock 5000 people
were gathered about the stand and
seated on the benches of the grand
stand." ne was introduced by Mayor Pen
noyer, himself an ardent advocate of
bimetallism.
MAYOR PENNOYEU'S INTRODUCTION.
"1 now have the very great pleas
ure of Introducing to you the man
who last November was the real ad
vance agent of prosperity; the man
who favors restoration of silver as
standard money, whereby alone there
can bo restoration of national pro3
perity; the man who polled over six
million and a half of votes, and who,
If the election were to be held tomor
row, would poll more than ten million
of votes the Hon. W. J. Bryan, of
Nebraska."
A "TO RENT" HIT.
In his speech Bryan said:
"It has been nearly two years since
I had the pleasure of meeting some of
the people here not so many as now,
as the silver caus was notquttc dead
then. You know it Is dead now. On
reaching Portland. I was prepared to
find a great, busy city, nnd I won
dered, witli the mills all running and
the shops all so busy, if the peoplo
would find time, even after dark, to
be here. Instead of this I Unci the
significant sign ot 'To Rent.' all over
jour city 1 wondered at this, as you
know tills Is July, and the Increase of
population in Oregon always takes
place between June and November.
When Mr. Bryan had concluded,
there was a great rush to greet him.
Men and women scrambled frantically
to the stand in the hope of shaking
lifs hand. Very few succeeded in do
ing so. He hurried to the b.irouche
In waiting, and, with Governor Rog
ers, or "VYnshingron; Mayor Pcnnoyer,
Napoleon Davis and F. A. E. Starr,
was driven to the grand central sta
tion, where lie boarded the east bound

Japan Is in for Trouble,
The Proposals to Arbitrate Are
Entirely Ignored.
New York, July 13. A disppatch
to tho Herald, from Washlngton,says:
Hawaii has offered to refer to arbi
tration the Immigration question
pending between herself and Japan,
but the Toklo government has so far
ignored the proposition. Telegraphic
Information to tills effect lias becu re
ceived at the state department, and it
is therefore possiblo to deny tho re
port published that Japan had agreed
to arbitrate the vexed question sho is
discussing with tho Hawaiian govern
ment. The proposition was made In
the report sent to the Hawaiian min
ister for foreign affairs. Mr. Cooper,
In answer to Mr. Shlniumura's last
letter reiterating the demand of his
government that Hawaii recognize
the principle of monetary liability as
a motive of her action in excluding
the Japanese Immigrants.
The Ilawallans do not expect that
Japan would accept arbitration. In
fact, before Minister Slmumura began
correspondence with Mr. Cooper in re
lation to the matter, he declared that
his government would never consent to
arbitration. At that time neither ho
nor his government had any Idea that
the strong arm of the United States
was seen to be thrown around Hawull,
and it was becauso of this ignorance,
state department officials say, that
Japan has assumed such a command.
Ing tone in her ucgotations with the
little republic.
It is said' that Mr. Shlmumura in
his last correspondence with tho Ha
waiian government, demands further
explanation In regard to certain de
tails connected with the Immigration
controversy, Hi which ho holds that
Hawaiian authorities havo committed
an official offense against his govern
ment. The minister refused to ad
mit the prlnclplo of momentary lia
bility, and Insists that tho Japanese
government docs not want to get at
the real merits ot tho controversy,
otherwise it would acquiesce in the
proposition to refer the matter to
arbitration.
In view of Mr. Cooper's refusal, it
Is the general expectation In admin
istration circles that whether the
senate ratifies tho pending annexa
tion treaty or fails to take action
during tho present session, this gov
ernment will havo to settlo tho im
migration question with Japan.
