Mr.. Bryan Spoke at MaysviIle, KY.
Last Night and Then Resumed
His Southern Trim,

Maysville, KY. Sept. 15.-An easy day
was the way Candidate Bryan character
lied the campaigning experience which
ended tonight in Maysville. At nearly
every place where he spoke. the rain fell
heavily, and the big assemb!age that heard
him here tonight stood in a driving storm.
Mr.. Bryan said manifested great in
terest in a campaign when people came a
long distance and stood in the rain to
listen to a political speech. People should
vote for what they believe to be their in
terest. There is scarcity of money now,
while the demands for 1t are increasing.
When you take gold to fill decayed teech
and to make engagement rings and for
use in the arts, and furnish enough for the
Keelev cure, 1t does not leave enough gold
for use as money.
Down to 1873. silver was the companion
of gold as money. All that We ask is to
restore it to its place before the act of
1873"
Mr.. Bryan reached here at 7:15 and after
speaking a few minutes went back to his
special train and left at s:10 for Lexins-

GOLD MEN RESIGN.
Give Up the Connecticut Democratic
Central Committee to the
Free Silverftes.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 15.-One of the
greatest surprises on the eve of the state
Democratic convention was the announce
ment made tonight that 1ie Democratic
state central committee, which. up to to-
day had been composed of a majority of
gold standard men, had Internationally re-
signed in favor of the Bryan wing of the
state Democracy. The committee met in
the afternoon to arrange the preliminary
programme.
The chief interest centered in the selec-
ton of temporary chairman, and a warm
contest was anticipated. 1t did not develop.
as William Kennedy, of Naugatuck. who
was cne of the delegates from Connecti-
cut who voted for silver at the national
convention, was chosen unanimously.
Chairman Davis and Secretary Fred Brown
then resigned. The names of the commit
teemen, who also resigned, will be an
nounced by the chairman tomorrow. The
designations were all voluntary. Hon. Car
los French, the Connecticut National DEM
ocratic committeeman, sent to the national
headquarters to-day his resignation.
The action of the state committee is con-
sideIe ed a great victory for the silver men,
but the leaders of the latter were deter
mined that unless a temporary chairman
was selected that was acceptable they
would elect one themselves. The gold
standard men will make no fight at the
convention.

THE EXECUTION OF GOWN.
State Department Is Making a Rigid
Investigation of an Alleged
Spanish Outrage. -

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE state aepart-
ment has taken steps to have a thorough
investigation made of the circumstances
surrounding the killing of Charles Gown.
a young American accompanying the Gu
ban revolutionary army in the capacity of
correspondent for a Florida newspaper.
Affidavits procured by counsel for the fam
lily of Gown go to show that while re was
with a force of rebels under Major Valen-
cia at Corredas, near Havana. last July. a
strong force of Spanish troops was encoun-
tered, and Gown. who was unarmed, and,
it is asserted, was non-combatant, surren-
dered to the Spanish colonel. 1t is alleged
that although he was supplied with an
American passport and papers to establish
mis- newspaper connection. he was executed
on the day following his capture. without
an opportunity to claim and to exercise
his rights under treaty as an American
citizen. Consul General Lee will endeavor
to ascertain all of the facts as the basis
for further action by the state department.
directly through Minister Taylor. but the
work is necessarily slow, as is the case In
many such affairs. because of the great
difficulty experienced in securing reports
of the facts when the killing occurs out

Rate. From Nebraska.

About one year ago the Fremont & Efk-
horn Valley line withdrew its tariffs for
shipments to Kansas City and made all Of
them apply to Chicago and ST. Louis. This
act cut large territory in the Northwest
off from the city, and had its effect On the
grain trade. The road has since that time
to itself and has voluntarily placed the
tariffs back in effect and reduced the
charges. The rates are now in effect. but
are still unjust to the city, as the rates
quoted from all points on the line to Kan
sas City are no lower than the rate on
shipments to East ST. Louis. The line is
willing to carry the shipments from Hast
ings. Neb:. to East ST. Louis at the same
rate that is charged to make the short haul
to this city. The rates apply only to wheat
and oats.
