SPOKE THREE TIMES AT ERIE.
Addressed 1000 Workingmen Before
Leaving Yesterday.

Erie, Pa, Aug. -Notwithstand-
ing the three long addresses and the
half dozen short speeches which he
had made yesterday, Mr.. Bryan plung-
ed into the battle again, and this
morning spoke from the balcony of
the Reed House to 1000 people assem-
bled in the street and the opposite
park.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan had been enter
tained at the residence of Otto Germer,
Jr., prominent stove manufactures,
and a Democrat, and at 10:3O they
drove to the hotel, where they held d
reception. He was afterwards escorted
to the balcony overlooking the stree;,
where he received an ovation from the
crowd in which Workingmen seemed
to be in majority.
In this speech he touched upon the
question of patronage, declaring that
none had yet approached him with
requests for offices in case of his elec-
tion, and that he had made no prom
ises. Mr.. Bryan's voice began. to show
the effects of the. hard work of this
weeks campaign and was decidedly
husky. .t
The party left Erie for Buffalo at
1898. There We're few stops on the
way and there were no noteworthy
demonstrations. Mr.. Bryan devoted
himself to the perusal of Mr.. McKin-
ley's letter of acceptance. When ask
ed if he would give his views upon the
letter, Mr.. Bryan said: 81 have read
the letter. / do not care to make any
comments on it. | suppose it can be
considered the golden text of the Re-
publican lesson"

lism are directed toward the intellect

to live while others die. Who in this
nation will defend the gold standard

risen in more than a century of pro-
gress, if no party this year has arisen
that tells the American people that

THE PALACE ON FIRE.

Soon after the palace caught fire
and the walls and roof were sent flying
here and there by the shells from the
warships, Said Khalid and Said Sales,
the latter being the commander of the
usurping Sultan's army had escaped
with a number of their followers
through the back part of the palace
and made their way to the German con-
sulate where they asked for protection,
which was accorded them.
Admiral Rawson, in order to frevent
the escape of Said Khalid and his fol-
lowers TO the mainland of Africa,
where their presence would undoubt-
edly have caused trouble with the
slave leaders and their adherents, sent
attachments of marines, blue jackets
and the local Zanzibaris to occupy all
the roads and avenues of escape, thus
hemming in the enemy pretty etfectu-
ally, although many escaped TO the
mainland and the neighboring islands
in Dhow.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, in response
TO another signal from the flagship,
St. George, re-enforcements of marines
and sailors were sent ashore from
the British warships and the work of
capturing the insurgents. collecting
the dead and attending to the wound
ed was commenced.
No casualties are reported among
the British ashore. and though all bus
iness. naturally is at a standstill, order
was restored before nightfall, and the
foreign residents were enabled 10 re-
turn to their residences ashore.
The dead were buried this afternoon
and for the present the island will be
administered over by Admiral Rawson,
pending the receipt of further instrue'
tions from the British government.

SENATOR BUTLER HAS A PLAN.
II is to Take Watson and Sewall Down
and Put up Clark.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 27-(Spe-
cial. )-There is talk here and in some
of the papers Gt is nothing but TALK
that Chairman Butler has an idea of
proposing that Sewal and Watson
both be withdrawn, and new man
chosen. Here is the story: b5tr4e
IF Sewall funks in Maine and Wat
son takes in the West during his
stumping tour Butler hopes to induce
the withdrawal of Sewall and have his
nominee for Vice-President accepted.
But he probably sees that Watson will
not take in the West. In this event it
is said that Senator Butler will present
a substitute for both Sewall and Wat
son. He has upbraided the Chicago
convention for not casting aside the
sectional bugaboo and nominating a
Southern Democrat for Vice-President
say Walter Clark, of the North Caro-
lima Supreme Court. Some persons
who know how strong the Senator's
admiration is for the Justice, and how
he has recently used his name in con-
nection with the office of Vice-Presi-
dent, say that they are convinced his
programme includes the offer of Clark
to the Chicago convention leaders as q
person entirely acceptable to Popu-
lists"

Soon Arranged.

Washington, August 27.-There
seems to have~been change in the
sentiment at the Populist headquarters
in regard to the question of notifying
Mr.. Bryan of his nomination by the
Populist convention, and it now APP
pears certain that he will be formally
notified on some nearby date.
Senator Butler, the chairman of the
Executive committee, said to-day that
this would probably be done and that
the notification committee and the
Executive committee would soon have
a meeting at which the details would
be decided upon. Further than this
the Senator had nothing to say.

belongs to the state OF Colima, and that
there will be ooaling station established
there The report Is given oircumstantial-
ly in the newspapers, but is not yet con-
frmed. It is also asserted that the Eng

Rovillagiedo, on the Pacific coast. In view
of the present amioahle rotations between
Mexico and England and the maintenance
Of the Monroe doctrine by the United

A large number of Chinese residing on
