Mr.. BRYAN'S PLANS.
He Will Undertake an Extensive
Lecture Tour.


LINCOLN. .Nep., Nov. lit has
been definitely arranged that William
Jennings Bryan is to take the lecture
platform and his first address will be
delivered at Atlanta, Ca, early In De-
cember. His route, as far as it has at
present been arranged, will be, after
leaving Atlanta, Jacksonville, Savan-
nah, Charleston, Augusta, Birmingham
and New Orleans, After leaving the
latter city Mr.. bryan will go through
Texas, then on to California and Ore
gon and will not reach the cities Of
the East before the latter part of Feb
ruary, 1897 The man behind the en-
terprise is ". E., McBee, Of Norfolk.

Air line. On election night Mr.. McBee.
who had been a hard worker for the
Bryan ticket, wired to this city offer
ing Mr. Bryan, very large amount for
a series of lectures in case the cleo
ton should turn against him.
No attention was paid to the matter
at that time by Mr.. Bryan, but after
the defeat Of the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. tMcBee once more renewed his
offers, negotiations were begun and
the result has been that Mr.. Bryan has
signed contracts for a series of lee
lures under the mana gement of Alex
ander Comstock, who is the representa-
tive and associate of Mr.. McBee in the
enterprise. The terms of the agree
ment from financial standpoint have
not been made public, but it is re
liably understood that the remunera-
ton which Mr.. Bryan is to receive will
exceed the salary he would have re-
ceived as president of the United
States in the event of his election to
that office. Arrangements are already
under way to have the delivery of Mr..
Bryan's first lecture in Atlanta made
Tho cin Of q a.
which will be in the nature of a mon
ster reception. The lectures to be de-
livered by Mr.. Bryan will be non-parti-
san in their character and will for the
most part be upon governmental and
social topics as it is expressly stipu-
lated in the contract that the tour shall
have no political aspect or coloring.

MUST THE DAM GO?
A Complication Which May Make
Trouble.

serious complication which is almost GER
tain to find it's way into diplomacy is re-
ported by interested parties now in Mime
apolis, touching the overflow of about 800
square miles in Northern Minnesota as a re-
suit of the erection of dam across the out
let of Lake of the Woods at Rat Portage.
The facts as stated are to the effect that the
dam has raised the water in Lake of the
Woods about three feet. In addition to the
raise by the dam the lack of drainage caused
by the dam has been in effect equivalent to a
raise of six feet during wet weather, such
as was experienced this spring. The coun-
try about Lake of the Woods is singular.
North the land lies high and is rocky in
parts but on the south side, in Minnesota,
the land is low and marshy and a rise of
a few feet sends the water back for miles.
1t is estimated that the lake now covers 500
square miles. which were above water two
years ago. The lake shore for miles has been
entirely changed, and all is attributed to the
dam. The cost of the dam has been several
hundred thousand dollars. but the damage
done to the land is many times as great.
The claim is made that the law provides
that neither the United States or Canada
should in any way interfere with the water
courses so as to damage the persons or prop
erty in the other country. This provision is
specific and definite enough to cover the case
in point and the talk is made that the Rat
Portage dam must go.

from the Hon. Carl Schurz, New York /:

most momentous Of them ALL The character

moral and intellectual qualities which fit
great people for SELF overnment, especially
the capacity for subordinating non-essentials
to essentials have never been more distinctly
tested-and let us rejoice to say most sig
nally indicated. If there is anything to be
regretted it is that Mr.. Bryan should have
received as many votes he did, notwith-
standing the evident weakness OF his cause.

popular ignorance and blind partisan spirit

ALLEGED TENNESSEE FRAUDS.
Republicans Determined to Have an
Investigation.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE
Republican state executive committee
with 200 leading Republicans from all
parts of the state, closed it's session last
night, after having unanimously re-
solved to investigate election frauds
in this state and inaugurate a contest
for the governorship and indorse a con-
test upon the part Of candidates for
congress, who were defeated by frauds
1t was one Of the most deliberative
political bodies which has ever met in
this state. All the speakers seemed to
be impressed with the gravity of the
occasion. The Republicans claim that
these frauds are far-reaching and sur
pass anything heretofore practiced, and
that in five West Tennessee counties
alone, enough votes were transferred
from the Republican to the Democratic
ticket in the count to overcome the
alleged Democratic majority in the
state. 1t is known that f. B. Stahlman,
who managed the Republican cam
paign, feels keenly the disappointment
of a failure to carry the state, and be-
lieves with fair count the state would
have been placed in the Republican
column by large majorities. Mr. StahI-
man, who is regarded as the brains and
force of the party in Tennessee, is not
talking, but it is believed that he has
been systematically at work ever since
the election to unearth these frauds.
and the action Of the leading men Of
the party yesterday gives evidence Of
his success.
The returns are not all in, but
the Democratic sheriffs and the secre-
tary of state have refused to give out
the returns as far as received. Enough,
however, is known, to indicate that Nc
Kinley and Tillman ran close together,
while Taylor, Democrat for governor,
ran five thousand votes behind Bryan.
The Nashville Banner is leading in the
fight for a thorough investigation Of
the frauds.
