(WashingtOn Lottery

Mr.. Bryan's trip to Mexico is likely
to be burdened with some rather trou-
blesome commissions. The average
citizen who goes abroad is liable to be
called upon by his friends to undertake
certain trifling missions. sometimes OF
q personal and sometimes of business
character, which frequently grow bur-
densome when they come from num-
bers of people. Mr.. Bryan is liable to
find this featureof his Mexican trip {:
somewhat embarrassing one. judging
from developments which have, just
come to surface here. A distinguished
labor leader, who has been in the city
this week. has just written Mr.. Bryan
calling his attention to series If
statements regarding wages and prices
in Mexico which were placed before
the public few months ago by a
commission representing prominent Ia
Dor organizations in the United States.
These statements made such an I'M
favorable showing of the condition
OF labor in Mexico, now the most
prominent free silver country in the
world, as compared with that existing
in the United States. that the friends
of labor, whether organized or other
wise, are inclined to call upon Mr..
Bryan, who makes special claim as
the friend Of labor, to take up the facts
set forth in the statements in question
and give to the wOrkingmen Of :ie
United States, upon his return, any in
formation or explanation which ne
may be able to present bearing upon
the subject.
While number Of statements upon
this subject have been presented 10
the public during the discussion of The
currency question since the beginning
Of the campaign of 1896, the one 10
which Mr.. Bryan's attention has been
especially directed Is that of a con-
mission sent to Mexico by the Traie
and Labor Assembly of Chicago in
August of last year. This commission
was made up of men selected from both
parties Of whose standing in labor and
business circles was such as to place
their report beyond question both rs
to accuracy and freedom from prejl-
dice.
The members of the commission
were Paul ]. Mass, a Free Silver Re-
publican. general organizer of the

the banker rose abruptly and said in
a sharp voice:
Enough for the day, gentlemen: the

Lucien leaped to his feet. Roughly
he pushed the players aside as they
fingered about, cycling him with en-
vious admiration: hurriedly he cleared
the stairs and ran to the stone bench.
Thank God" he cried: "she is still
there" He seized her hand.
"Ah! how cold she is, poor little
one"
AS he lifted her in his arms the
child's head fell back limp, and she did
not waken. How children sleep, he
thought, pressing her to his breast for
warmth: and, vaguely anxious, he was
about to kiss her lids to draw her from
this heavy slumber. when he saw with
terror that the child's eyes were half
open, showing CLASSY pupils, extin-
guished and motionless. With terrible
suspicion Lucien brushed her little lips
with his own. and no breath came from
them. While Lucien had been winning
a fortune with the louis stolen from
her. this little beggar had died of cold.
His throat contracted in awful agony.
he tried to cry out and in
