Bryan Denies False Reports.

Washington Court House. Ohio. Oct.
19.-There were short speeches at
Xenia and jamestown and good-sized
crowds listened to the speeches OF the
nominee at the latter place. While the
crowd was enthusiastic there were
quite a number of Mckinley shouters
and badges in the crowd. washington
Court House was given q ten-mlnute
talk and the large audience was ap-
parently in sympathy with the speaker.
William j. Bryan's attention was
called to several newspaper reports.
One was that he had been upon the
stage. another stated that he had
thought about going on the stage. and
still another that he had written a
criticism Of a play and had applied for
a position as press agent. He SAID
there was no truth 20 the report that
he had ever been upon the stage, that
he had never written criticism of
any production and had never applied
for any position In connection with
any theatrical company and had never
had any thought of going on the stage
nor had he ever discussed the matter
with any one. He said that at the time
he was reputed as contemplating the
stage he was writing editorials In
favor OF free silver and delivering lec-
lures upon the subject throughout the
country. He looked upon the matter
with considerable amusement.

San Francisco. Oct. 1s.--Advices by
the steamer Peru from Singapore and
Hong Kong state. up to Sept. q. that
the rebellion In the Philippine Islands
is much more serious than has been
generally recognized. II Is said that
the reports Of revolutionlst defeats,

greatly exaggerated and that SO far
the rebels have more than held their
own In the struggle for independence.
1t is stated that the revolution 10 now

thorities and that unless reinforce
ments are sent to Manila Immediately
the Spanish forces are In danger Of
final defeat. The rebels now hold the
province of Cavlte. are well organized
and have more than 1000 Mauser rifles.
There are many natives in the Spanish
troops and the officers are afraid to
take native regiments into the Interior
because their loyalty is doubted. The
Hong Kong Press says editorially that
there is no longer room for the least
doubt that affairs in the Philippines
will In a short time assume the pro-
portions OF the Cuban rebellion. The

For long time the natives have been
consplring to overpower the govern

make a strong attack on the 18th OF
July. Governor General Blanco was to

swoop down upon the body OF officials
who attended the funeral. kill as many

troversy for determination was wheth-
er the city OF Great Falls or the county
was liable TO repair and maintain Q

river In that city. The case was sub
mitted % the district court upon an
agreed statement OF facts. The court
rendered Judgment in favor OF the
county and the city appealed.
In 1883 a private corporation built a
bridge. At that time the city extended
10 the river but did not include the
bridge. TIE county bought the bridge
from the private corporation. In 1899
the county rep.anked the bridge and
insured II for three years In favor OF
the county. In 1891 the city OF Great
Falls extended It's limits TO the other
side OF the river. 50 that now the city
includes the bridge and Its approaches.
The bridge Is In a bad state of repair
and bouh county and city refuse TO re-
pair II. The supreme court affirms the
