Tour-Cheera az CEica@a

CHICAGO. Oct. %. 19s6-Candidate
Bryan was nearly two hours late in leav-
ing Chicago this morning for his flying
trip to minor Illinois points. His train
was due 10 leave at T.25, but Mr.. Bryan
requested that 1t be held, and ri lid not
reach the depot Until $50. Early In the
morning enthusiastic Organizes began
gathering about the depot and a dense
crowd awaited the coming of their IA
vorite. When Mr.. Bryan finally reached
the scene a storm of applause greeted
him, the assembled multitude refused
to be satisfied until Mr.. Bryan appeared
on the rear platform of the train and
spoke a few words of acknowledgment
for the honor paid him.
Twelve towns are to be visited today,
and the Bryan special is scheduled 10
cover the distance between them at the
the Est is haywood, which should be
left behind at $3.50 and at Z. Mr.. BRYAN
is scheduled TO speak far out on the
northwestern side Of Chicago.
ELGIN. ILL.,, Oct. 20, 1Sss.-The BRYAN
special reached Elgin at 1920 Al. NJ, and
Mr- Bryan was taken immediately to a
stand erected about a hundred yards
from the Northwestern station. where
he made a short speech to a large an
dience. No stops were made by the train
between Chicago and Elgin. Owing to
the iateness of the departure for the
northwestern depot, two hours behind
the schedule originally arranged, a num-
Der of speakers were sent ahead to the
various points Mr.. Bryan is to visit to-
day TO entertain the crowds until the
National candidate put in an appearance.
Mrs. Bryan accompanied her husband.

MYSTERY grows DEEPER
No One Seems to Know Where
Tom Watson's Letter Is.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1S9s.-The mys-
terry Of the Watson letter is not vet quite
cleared up. Secretary Edgerton Of the
National Populist Committee, today, re-
plying to Mr.. Watson's statement that
he (Edgerton) could explain the delay in
the delivery to Senator Butler Of the
missing letter of acceptance of Mr.. Wat
son, said:-"The only reply / have to
that statement is to oppose to it the
testimony of the Senate Postmaster that
neither the personal nor the official mail
OF Senator Butler is delivered to me. /
never saw Mr.. Watson's letter until Mon
day morning last, when Senator Butler
called me up to his house and read it to
me.
mo" he said, in reply to a question,
Il have no copy of the letter to make
public, nor am / authorized to state the
substance of its contents. enato Butler
told me he received the letter on Saturday
night last
This date being accepted as correctly
stating when the letter reached Senator
Butler, the mystery surrounding the nom
delivery of the document still remains
partly unexplained, inasmuch as twice
subsequently to that time Senator Butler
told representatives of the United As
ISOLATED Presses that he had not yet
been placed in possession of the letter.
Delays in the delivery of insufaciently
stamped communications to Senators and
Representatives in Congress are by no
means unusual. They arrive chiefly from
laxity of business methods on the part
of congressman themselves IN the matter
of small dues and charges. Insufici4ntly
stamped letters addressed to Senators or
Representatives are held at the city Post
Office until the Senate or House Postmas-
ter sends the amour of shortage. The
Senate and House Postnasters, owing TO
their inability to collect these amounts
from the members, especially in recess,
are in no hurry to advance the amounts
due, and this may be the explanation whv
Mr.. Watson,s letter to Senator Butler,
being a stamp or two deficient, may have
lain in the Washington Post Office eight
days after its arrival here. Nevertheless,
there seems to be much in the incident
which has not yet been satisfactorily
cleared 1rp.

BOTH CLAIMED TIE COAT.
Perplextng ProbIesn In Police Justice
Pazts, Court.


There was an amusing scene in Justice
Potts court this morning when the Court,
Chief Murphy. Captain Kelly and a half
dozen other gentlemen attempted to de-
eide the ownership of an overcoat.
Alfred Kahn, a travelling salesman, of
No. 113 Green street, New York, came in
frem st. Louis on a train due early this
morning. When the train was approach
ing the city Kahn discovered tina his
overcoat was missing. With the conduc-
tor he went through the train. In the
rear passenger coach he found a young
man apparently asleep wrapped up in
what he claimed was his overcoat. When
he demanded the garment the pessessor,
Joseph A. West, of Butte, Iowa, object
ed When the train pulled into the train
and he took the two claimants of the
coat TO Police Headquarters. In court
both men tried on the coat and Ii fitted
one about as well as the other. Both de-
scribed certain marks and pointed out
where repairs had been made. Kahn said
his name was tackled in the back OF the
coat on q tag. That mark of Identification
was missing. West admitted that he had
torn the tag, which bore his name, cut
just after the train left st. Louis. Jus
tice Potts, finally decided that he would
keep the coat for one week, giving both
men in the meantime an opportunity to
prove their property.
West was satisfied with this arrange
ment and made a great fuss about getting
down the date. Kahn on the other hand
objected and said ne would not 60 away
without his coat. This turn of affairs
convinced Chief Murphy that the coat be-
longed to Kahn, and turning to West he
said:-sYou have worn the coat a year.
1t is shabby, and IL / were in your place
I would let Kahn have it and save
trouble"
West readily consented and delivered
the coat to Kahn. When told he would
not be prosecuted West said he may nave
mistaken Kahn's coat for his own. He
said he had a coat when ne boarded the
train. He did not complain much about
his alleged loss.

AUTHORITIES ALARMED.
Health Inspector Reports a
Large Increase in Diph-
iberia Cases-To Be
Investigated.

Health Inspector Benjamin made a re-
port to the Beard of Health at its meet
ing yesterday afternoon relative to the
number of contagious diseases found m
the city during the past moaah- There
were 50 cases OF diphtherias Il Of scarlet
fever. 7 of typhoid fever. % of measles
and 1 OF membranous Group.
The number Of dfp1theria cases startled
the member Of the Board.
Three months ago when diphtheria
seemed to be rigging, G. Kraus, a bacteri-
olegist, was appointed to investigate each
case. An examination revealed the fact
cases of diphtheria were really that DIS
ease. Commissioners Feeney said yester-
day that if the 50 cases reported during
the last month We're genuine, there was
cause for alarm, and imnedapse action
should be taken. He suggested that it
would be well to have Bacterielogist
Kraus examine every case and report mis-
finding to the Board Mr. hsalS is now
He has asked for more pay, but the MEM
bers of the Board could not, they said,
see their way clearly to increase his re-
enumeration.
Yesterday Commissioner Feeney recon-
mended that Mr.. Kraus be paid a regular
salary and hired by the year. The sag-
geStion was considered al gC9G one by his
colleagues, and President Abernethy was
authorized TO see MT hIduS ana arrange
with him about permanent employment
and remuneration. 1t is believed that
his examination of the reported cases of
dipirtheria will result in cutting the num-
Der of cases down considerably. The
Board is anxious to avoid putting up
diphtheria placaTds where it is not abso-
luteiy necessary.
In October DR.. Gray had Is cases and
made S6 visits; DR.. Wolfson, q cases, 35
visits; DR.. Henry, Is cases, 10 visits; DR..
Brinkerhoff, 5 cases, % visits; DR.. Everett,
Is cases and "a visits. No report was re-
cetved from DR.. Hof1manm. He IS lam
gerously Ill.
Inspector Benjamin reported that he
had had 343 complaints filed with him.
He abated 34S nuisances by sending out
$50 notices.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Street and Water Board to have
Plymouth street, between Washington
and Warren streets cleared. People have
been making a dumping ground Of the
street, emptysng all kinds OF refuse there.
Residents a complained that the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 1ses.-Mr. Cur

yesterday issued an order designed to
bring under the immediate discretion Of
the higher Treasury officials the assurances
of leaves of absence to Treasury en-
ployes for the purpose of returning to
their respective States to vote. Hereto
fore the method of passing upon the ap-
plicants for leave of Absence has been
such that only those applications which
received the favorable action Of the chief
of the bureau in which the applicant
worked ever came before the Secretary
for his final approval.
This established a system of favoritism
and discrimination, to remedy which act
ing Secretary Curtis yesterday issued an
order to the effect that hereafter appliea-
tons for leave of absence shall be sent to
the Secretary for his final action.
The case which called out the order is
said to have arisen In the office of Sixth
Auditor George A. Howard, of Tennessee.
