Spoke to 10000.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 9.-Willi&ni
Jennings Bryan was a carnival attrac-
tion in Kansas City tonight. In an
hmphitheater erected on Grand ave-
nue., he spoke to fully 10000 people.
He discussed political and financial
matters, the address being on the lines
of many of his recent speeches
throughout the west.
Fences had been built across the
street in order to compel the crowd to
pay an admission to the seats which
had been erected on either side of the
street. When the seats had been near
ly filed, the crowd outside became so
great and so determined that the
fences were pushed down, despite all
efforts of the police, and the crowd
surged in around the stand from which
the orator was to speak. The carni-
val officials and the Bryan democratic
club of Kansas City, under whose aus
pieces the Nebraskan spoke, were re-
sponsible for this arrangement.
