CANDIDATE BRYAN'S BOOK

"The First Battle" Is Bryan Biography
Supplemented by Extracts From
Speeches by Silver Advocates.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 5.-A repre-
sentative of the Associated Press learn
ed today the title of w ]. Bryans book
is to be THE First Battle" In the pref
ace he states his reasons for writing the
work in the following words:
THE campaign Of 1896 was remark
able one, whether We measure it by the
magnitude of the issue involved or by
the depth of interest aroused. l have
been led to undertake the present work
by desire felt by myself and expressed
by others, to have the more impartant
events of the campaign put in perma-
nent form for the convenience of people
who have taken part in the contest and
for the use of those who shall have here
after desire to review the struggle. The
amount of work done by the advocates
of free coinage is beyond computation,
and the number of those who took active
part in the contest too great for enum-
Grafton These facts, together with the
difficulty in choosing between so many
meritorious speeches, have compelled
me TO limit the quotations TO the ad-
dresses made and papers issued by per-
sons standing in an official or semi offic-
ial capacity and to the principal peeches
delivered by myself. l have added a
brief history of the campaign, including
a discussion of the election returns and
the significance thereof. 1t has also been
thought best to narrate the part taken
by me in the silver agitation prior to the
convention, and at the request Of the
publishers I have included biograph-
ical sketch written by Mrs. Bryan"
1t is understood that the publishers,
w. S. Conkey & Co. of Chicago, will is
sue the book the early part Of January.

European and American trip, none of

further than that they knew nothing of

on his trip around the world.
UPHEAVAL is IMMINENT.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-According to
Wong Ching Foo, editor of the Chinese
News in this city, China is on the eve of
an upheaval such. as is now going on in
Cuba. He was tonight shown the re-
ports in the cables from London to the
effect that Sun Yat Sen, the Chinaman
who was kidnapped in London and only
released from the Chinese embassy at
the specific demand of Lord Salisbury.
was a member of a society having for it's
object the liberation of China from its
present dynasty. He said that the re-
port was true and he would have pre-
ferred to have kept the story secret for
some time longer, but as it was out he
wished to confirm it in every particular.
The gist of his statement is that there
is in the fiowery kingdom a society called
Hing Chang Wong, which is allied to the
Liberty league of Americanized China
men in this country, and to similar or
ganization in England. He said that
the object Of the organization was to do
away with the eXclusiveness of the Chi
nese kingdom and open it up to modern
civilization. The present dynasty, ac-
cording to Wong Ching Foo, will be ask
ed to get out, and il it refuses it will be
put out. Only peaceful methods will at
first be employed, but if these are not
successful then an appeal will be made
to arms, and England and the United
States will be asked to recognize the re-
form party as belligerents.
Wong Ching Foo said that the reason
that Sun Vat Sen was kidnapped by the
Chinese embassy In London was solely
because he was known to be member of
the reform party and that If the Chinese
government had succeeded in getting
him to China his head would have been
cut off at once. The reform movement
is scheduled to begin active operations
in the very near future.
