Encouraging News Brought to Candi-
date Bryan.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 6.-Bryan
had a call from Mr.. Harrington Of
Boston, who is visiting his son, a
Catholic priest, in this State. Har
rington said the laboring and farm
ing classes of New England are
coming over by thousands to Bryan
and silver. Bryan Is much pleased
with the action of the Nebraska Pop
ulists Convention Wednesday. But
he is shy in discussing the Nebras
ka situation.
Many leading Populists in this
section are quite positive the rank
and file of that party in the West
will vote for Bryan and ignore Wat
sons demands.

The allegations in the bill filed are that

left in Judge Taylor's hands claim
against Mantz for collection by suit.
The summons was duly issrcd, and proper

Judgment was given by default of defend

Later an execution was applied for, which

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
A subcommittee was appointed aud di-

forth the Monroe doctrine, the full commit
tee by an almost unanimous vote, deciding
that this doctrine should receive the af-
firmation OF Congress. The wording of the
resolution will be reported to the fun COM
mitee at the next meeting.
Mr.. Gray was alone in his opposition TO
the resolution. The discussion of the Vene-
zue.aD question brought out the fact tha;
the loop-hoie left in the Presidents mes
sage, siDctiouiDg any amica bic settlement
made between the Venezuelan government
and Great Britain by the cessicn OF terri
tory would be acquiesced in by the United
States, would probably be accepted by
Great Britain as the best way out of the
difficulty. This probable result of the diff
ficulty was depiored, but the ground was
taken that. inasmuch as the President had
committed the United States to this policy
in this particular case, there could be no
protest.
The Monroc doctrine, as it Will be az

territory in the future. The report has
