NEW YORK, Sept. 25.--The Republic
cans Of Kings county opened the cam
paign tonight at the Claremont avenue
rink, Brooklyn, amid much enthusiasm.
Six thousand people cheered Chauncey
M Depew and Franklin Fort Of New
Jersey and waved thousands of Amer
lean flags, with which every chair was
provided.
All the available space upon the floor
and stand was utilized. Chairman Mark
A. Hama was among those on the plat
form.
When the meeting was called to order
Mayor Wurster made an Introductory
address and presented Mr. Depew, who
was given tremendous welcomel
Mr.. Depew reviewed the Chicagoplat-
form and the recent speeches OF Mr..
Bryan in Brooklyn in wit and sarcasm,
and evoked much cheering.
Continuing his criticism, he took up
Mr.. Bryan's reference to Henry Ward
Beecher, in which Mr.. Bryan had wished
for the presence Of the preacher, and
said: During the first money and un-
limited currency excitement Of 1877, Mr.
DOSShCA NCANSACu a A6ilOuS SCIIIlOA Ou
Thanksgiving day on the perils of the
hour. In it he used this language. which
I commend to the study of the Populis-
tic candidate for the presidency, since
he has called Henry Ward Beecher as
a witness: Whoever hampers with
established standards hampers with the
very marrow and vitality of public
faith. As now. by facility Of intercourse,
all the world Is one open market. the
need Of one and the same standard Of
money, uniform, universal and unal-
terable, bAcomes imperious. Gold is
the worlds standard. Gold Is the. uni
versal measure of value. In the court
of the commercial worlds conscience
we shall be convicted Of endeavoring TO
cheat men who have come to our res
cue in the dark day. This congress
would not have existed, nor any govern
ment of the United States, but for the
strength given to our armies by foreign
capitalists, and now to return their aid
by base treachery is to deserve an in
fanny as deep as the lowest depths of
hell. But woe to these men, bull-head-
ed, without eyes, who are attempting
to undermine the integrity of the ma
tion.'
Much cheering was ELECTED by this
quotation and the crowd was convulsed
when the speaker added:
IF Mr.. Bryan ever says again after
this has appeared in print that Beecher
is good platform for the common peo-
pie to stand upon he has more gall than
gave him credit for and I concede him
the hogs share"
When Mr.. Depew finished there were
cries Of Hanna" which continued un-
til that gentleman came to the front of
he stage.
"If I have been successful in any
thing" said the Republican national
chairman, ut has been knowing enough
not to talk too much. Mckinley says q
Brooklyn Republican meeting is an in
spiration and I agree with him. When 1
see the governor I will tell him bring
the greetings of his Brooklyn friends
and the promise they will make mate
rial expression of on Nov. 3d.
Mr.. Forts address brought the meet
ing to close.

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION
Expects to Make Report in
December
THE WORK MUCH DELAYED
By Slow Progress Made In the Dutch
Documents
All the Other Evidence Obtainable II
at Hand, and Will Be Considered
With Due Care.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25-The report
or the venezuela commission appointed
last January to investigate the British
Venezuelan boundary dispute probably
will be made to the president shortly
before congress convenes in December.
1t was expected that the report might
be ready by November LIST, but compli-
cations in connection with the work in
Holland have caused the delay. The
several members of the commission
have been at work on different branches
of the subject all summer, with a view
of reaching decision as early as DOS.
sible. Justice Brewer, chairman of the
commission, has called meeting of the
commission for October 9th, and it was
thought at that meeting all the neces-
sary data could be submitted and the
decision arrived at. All the work of
the members Of the commission had
been arranged with this purpose in
view.
The material collected in Spain by
the British and Venezuelan govern
ments relative to the original Spanish
possessions in the territory in dispute,
and the material from the propaganda
Catholic missions are kept, is in the pos
session Of the commission, and copies
were distributed to the members as rap
idly as they were obtained. This mate
rial, with the exception of some docu-
ments which Frederick Coudert, one of
the members of the commission, will
bring with him from Rome, Is complete.
The prospective delay will be incident
to the work of Prof. Baer, who has been
charged with the task of ransacking the
Dutch archives in Holland. Prof Baer
was instructed to make most thorough
search for anything that might have a
bearing on the subject, and to obtain
accurate copies of all documents. His
investigations led him to London. Jus
tice Brewer yesterday received ca
blegram from him saying that his work
in London had been completed and that
he would return to Holland, but could
not finish before the middle of October.
This information was a disappointment
to Justice Brewer, who had hoped that
all the original matter would be in
hand by October I'd. However, the COM
mission can proceed with the examina-
ton without the material until Prof.
Baer arrives. the latter part Of October.
Prof. Baer has kept Justice Brewer in
formed Of the progress of his work and
his information has been promptly dis
tributed among the members of the
commission, but as Justice Brewer says,
in the decision of a question of such
grave Importance and far-reaching eff
fects, each member will be. obliged to
examine the documents for himself

HAMBURG STRIKE.
The River Engineers Decide TO Join the
Dock Workers.

DuCh W uAhtIna
HAMBURG. Dec. 1.-The river engineers
have decided TO go out ON strike in SYM
pathy with the striking dock workers, and
the situation is growing more complicated
and serious.
Two steamers have arrived here from
England and Denmark with nonunion la
borers TO take the place Of strikers. The
Heidmann coal firm has dismissed all
strikers. The masters have rejected the
warehousenen's demands, and they refuse
to negotiate. The wages committee for the
sailmakers of Hamburg and Altoona have
pledged themselves not to aid the masters.
Many grain handlers, however, have re-
sumed work.
The Hamburg American Steamship
company, which had ordered the steam
ship Adria, from Baltimore, TO go to Nor
denham TO discharge her cargo on account
of the strike, has since instructed that
steamship to come to Hamburg, where, il
is said, the influx of foreign labor win on
able them to unload the steamship
The workmen on the state quays have
also decided to stop work if they are asked
TO discharge the steamers of the Hamburg
American company.
There were stormy scenes at Alton
near this city, at meeting of the stT...-ssrs
wives. Many Of the women were unable
to enter the overcrowded hall and created
disturbances outside. Finally a detach-
ment of police was summoned from Ham
burg to assist the local police force and
they were compelled to intervene with
drawn swords

have made an active search to ascertain
his whereabouts. Flickenger was one of
the students who was suspended recently
for participating in a bonfire on the insti-
tute grounds, and it was while he was un-

thought that he has either gone to Cuba

NOT DISCOURAGED.
Mr.. Bryan Regards tho Late Ilcction
only a Tom rorary Defeni.

only "A Temporary Defeat.
NEW YORK. Dec lin the December
number of Tho North American Review,
Just out, MIR Bryan published an article
in which he discusses the result of the
election as affecting the status of the sill
yer question. The issue on which the
election turns he describes as the greatest
issue ever submitted TO the American peo-
pie in time of pcaca. The declaration OF
the Chicago convention in favor Of the free
coinage Of silver forced upon the people of
this country study of the money ques-
tion in general, and within the last four
months more people have been stimuli
taneously engaged in it's consideration
than ever before in the history of the
world. The result of this study, Mr.
Bryan declares, to be temporary defeat,
but permanent gain for the cause of BIZ
metallism. Mr.. Bryan regards it as a
significant fact that the silver sentiment
was strongest where the question had been
longest considered-that is TO say, in the
west and south.
In Mr.. Bryans opinion, the cause OF BIZ
metallism made more rapid progress than
any cause ever made in such a short time.
Mr.. Bryan expresses his assurance that
the election can be by no means regarded
as a conclusive settlement of the question
at issue. The advocates Of free coinage are
convinced, he says, that they are laborine
in behalf of a large majority Of the people
not only here, but throughout the world
and, according to the writer, they propose
to continue their contest, confident thai
four more years Of experience viii convince
many who have thus far resisted argu
ment. This confidence, Mr.. Bryan says
is confirmed by the history of recent elec
tions Mr.. Greely was defeated in 1872
and yet Mr. Tilden was elected in 1876
Mr.. Blaine was defeated in 1884, but Mr.
Harrison was elected in 1883. The Repub
lican victory of 1883 was followed by thl
Democratic victory of 1892, and the elec
tion of President Cleveland two year
later.
Mr.. Bryan counsels the successful party
to remember that thousands of Republic
ans have been held to their party this yeai
by the pledge that they will try 10 secure
international bimetallism.
In regard to the gold Standard Demo.
Gratis, Mr.. Bryan is assured that they can
not do as much in 1900 as they have done
this year. They have declared their affec-
tion for Democratic principles while they
spared no effort to secure the success OF
the opposing ticket "They cannot, he
says, " disguise themselves again. "
