BRYAN IN CHICAGO.
THERE is NO DOUBT BUT THAT HE
IS WORRYING REPUBLICANS.
They Affect to Make Light of the At

That Many Hundreds Attend Mere

"Encouraging,.' Reports.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Telephone messages
and personal callers kept the campaign
managers in constant state of activity
today at Republican national state and
county headquarters.
The rank and file of the party were
concerned about the effect which Mr.,
Bryan's campaigns in Cook county might
have on the election day result in the
city ana state. To all such inquiries, the
Republican leaders returned the answer
that the eleventh hour effort of the
Democrats 70 capture the majority of
the Chicago voters would not change any
MA terlai number of votes already fixed
on the Republican side, and there was
no fear expressed at any headquarters
tnat stampede was possible.
The big crowds were accounted for by
the fact that this was Ch:cagos first
real chance TO see and hear the presi-
Dental nominee. and hundreds of Re
publicans went to. each meeting chiefly
from curiosity without having their vot-
ing mind affected in the least by the
arguments of Mr.. Bryan
National Committeeman Jameson, of
Illinois. who has been the most conser-
vatlve of any party manager here, when
dealing with the Republican side of the
situation, said:
4 feet justified in increasing the
figures of Mckinley's estimated majority
in Cook county, as a result of Bryan's
visit There is no such thing as defeat
here. The Bryan and Altgeld managers
are straining every effort to carry Illinois,
on the theory that this state holds the
key 10 the presidential situation The
labor vote here for Mckinley will be
bigger than the, Democratic managers

per cent of it and win in a walk"
Fenton r. McCreery of Michigan, late
secretary of the legation to Chile, has re-
turned from a stumping tour of Cali
fornia. He reported that the outlook for
Mcklnley's success in that state was

were from Indiana. He said they xhowed

in this respect for three weeks.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
Oct. 2S.-W. S. Stratton, the rich
gold mine owner of Cripple Creek,
today made an offer to bet $780,
900 against 100000 that William j.
Bryan is elected president. Mr..
Stratton agrees that if he wins he
will give the money to the Colo
RADIO Springs free library, and, if
the others win they are TO have
the money.
A syndicate of rich men of the
city is trying to raise the 5000, 900.
Mr.. Stratton says. that he does not
make the offer through any point
ers that he has on the election, but
believes their patriotism and good
sense will arouse the workingmen
to the necessity of voting for Bfy-
an. Mr.. Stratton is the Colorado
Springs carpenter who became a
multimillionaire in Cripple Creek.
He says that the maintenance of
the gold standard would be better
for him, but not for the masses,
and he believes in the masses.

NEW YORK, Oct. ga special ca
bic dispatch TO the Herald from Ha-
yana gives the following account of an
interview with General Weyler by the
correspondent of that paper on Mon
day evening:
What do you think about the pros
poets of putting down the instruction
in the province of Pinar Del Rio?' was
asked.
The general replied that he thought
the chances were excellent for the COM
plete success of the Spanish armies in
that province. He has been of this
opinion for some time, he said, and the
recent victories of General Hunoz at
Cscarajicara, and of General Arolas at
Artenisa, had only confirmed him IN
his belief of freeing the province OF all
insurgents.
washington dispatches have alleged
that General Lee is to return to the
United States. Have you talked to
General Lee on the subject, and do you
attach any Significance TO the fact if
true?"
The general replied: my relations
with your consulate are of the most
friendly nature, but / have had no
conversation with General Lee on the
subject of his return
AT this point the reporter determined
to ask the general a leading ques-
ton, which would put an end to all
doubts on q much mooted topic.
rs it a fact that you have decided
to take the held in person. General
Weyler?'
Placing his hands on the arms of his
chair, and leaning back, as if to give
emphasis to his words, the general re-
piled:
s.There is nothing absolutely decided
on that subject here in Havana. | am
In telesraphic connection with my gen.
erals everywhere, and can direct the
movements of all my forces. Here 1
can follow the course of events, both
civil. political and military. I have so
far believed that my best work could
be done here.
Here L can better direct operations;
here 1 have in my hands the control of
telegraphs, heliographs. railroads and
steamships-in fact, everything which
can further my efforts to bring the war
to a close. Only in the field my scope
would be limited to that of a COM
mander of an army corps.
Still. If the exigencies of the situa-
ton should in my opinion demand my
taking the field, l should not hesitate
to do So but any definite statement to
that effect is. to say the least, prema-
fure.
In reply to a question about the pro-
ceedings against the Competitor pris-
oners, General Weyler explained that
at present simply a preliminary hear
ing had been accorded. the nature of
which would not be made public When
the military tribunal should begin the
regular inquiry, the testimony taken.
the general said, would be given out
