NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 2S-Bryan
left Buffalo by trolley this morning to
begin a two days campaign among the
smaller cities of Northern New York.
At Tonawanda We're gathered 200 or 300
people. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan shook hands
with typical country crowd. Bryan
spoke briefly. His voice shows the wear
and tear Of the weeks work. When the
cars moved off it was followed by three
cheers 'for the next president" His
speech, in part, is as follows:
Ladies' and Gentlemen: The Chicago
platform, while it was written and
adopted by the Democrats of the South
and West, does not raise any sectional
question. 1t simply reasserts the DEM
ocracy first taught by Thomas JEFF
ferson and afterwards defended by An
drew Jackson (applause), and the DEM
ocracy upon which the Democrats must
always stand, unless it decides to aban-
don the principles from the beginning,
and substitute plutocracy, which some
have called modern Democracy. (Ap-
plause.) The Chicago platform simply
reiterates those fundamental princi-
pies upon which our form of government
must rest. The keynote of the Chicago
platform is found in the Declaration of
Independence, that all men are created
equal, and that therefore no citizens
have a right to appropriate to them
selves blessings the creator intended
for all people of this country. (Ap-
plause) Laws should not be made so
that many will toll and few enjoy the
fruits of the toll Of many. That platform
means that every man shall be defended
in the enjoyment of that which he earns,
but no man shall be permitted to enjoy
that which somebody else has earned
and which is taken from him by vicious
legislation"
During the morning ride Bryan said
to an Associated Press representative:

the dress of the robber. Dan Doherty, one
OF the passengers, is an old resident in that

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 2S.-When
the Armenians seized the Ottoman
bank on Wednesday last, Edgar Vincent
and some of the other directors escaped
to the roof, and when the troops ar
rived the latter fired haphazard at
everybody appearing at the windows.
Thus several clerks who were trying
to escape were killed.
While the fight was proceeding hun
dreds of Mussulmans armed with
crdgels and led by the softas, gathered
in groups, overran the quarter and
killed or assaulted all the Armenians
they met The scene resemb1ed the
riots of September, 1895. Several shops
in the Galatia were plundered and panic
spread over the whole city, especially
in the Pera quarter, where two bombs
were thrown into the midst of a group
of soldiers, several of whom were wound
ed. The people generally We're afraid
to venture into the streets. The officials
of the British postoffice were virtually
prisoners until night and the mail was
not dispatched.
The British charge d'affairs, Michael
Herbert, telegraphed to Tewfik Pasha,
the Turkish minister for foreign af-
fairs, urging the prompt restoration of
order.
1t also appears that while the Otto
man bank was being attacked circulars
were delivered at the different embas-
ses, signed by the Armenian commit
tee, declaring that they inetnded to seize
the bank and hold it for two days. dur
ing which they wanted the powers to
actively intervene in the settlement of
the Armenian question and adding that
if the authorities tried to recapture the
bank they would blow it up with all
its securities.
Mr.. Vincent went to Yldiz Kiosk yes
terday evening to see the Sultan, and
while he was there a message was re-
ceived from the revolutionists, saying
that they We're willing to surrender on
condition that they were allowed to
leave the country. Mr.. Vincent ac-
cordingly returned to the bank and
parleyed with the leaders of the Arne-
mans through the windows. The Ar
menians had revolvers in their hands
and told him they held two of the direct
ors and a number of employees of the
bank as hostages and that they had
seized the bank in order to demonstrate
rot against the Turks nor the banks, but
against the powers who had abandoned
the Armenians. They added that they
had selected the Ottoman bank because
it was one of the most suitable places,
and expressed their willingness to sur
render provided thew were allowed to
retain their revolvers. while yielding up
the bombs in their possession and re-
ceive safe conduct out of the country.
These terms were agreed upon and the
Armenians surrendered last night and

able activity manifested among the

themselves, or some friend or relatives.
Being familiar with the country it is

to out-foot the tenderfoot, and come in
few minutes ahead in the race for the
best lands, which lie close to the line.
At O'Neil's place on Lost river,
twenty miles north of Fosston,
there is small village Of
Some Seventy or Eighty Tents,
habited by men intending to make the
grand rush of the 18th, and with them
are some of the feetest horses to be
found in this section of the country.
On the banks Of Lost river in the last
few days some sooners have erected log
houses on the reserve, but there are
plenty of men who will make the rush
for them and contest the rights of the
builders when they get to the land
office. The weather has changed to
spring sunshine and practically all the
covered wagons in town have been un-
able to withstand the temptation and
have gone out towards the line in spite
