Mr.. BRYAN AT TALLAHASSEE
He Denounces Trusts and Applauds
the Income Tax.
There Should Be Laws Preventing
Trusts From Contributing to
Campaign Funds.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 10.-Four thou.
sand people heard W. j. Bryan deliver an
address To the Florida legislature tonight.
de was introduced by W d. Chipley, the
leading candidate in the United States
Senatorial race. Mr.. Bryan spoke for
about two hours. The speech was sini-
lar to those delivered during the campaign.
He was very severe on trusts.
Mr, Bryan said laws should be passed
preventing them from contributing funds
for campaign purposes, and that the big
criminals should wear the same kind OF
stripes as the little ones. He spoke at
length on the income tax, and hoped that
a law would be passed making the rich
bear their share Mr. Bryan denounced
ex-Seoretary Carlisle, and quoted from his
tCarlide'sl former speeches to show that
he was traitor TO his country. He inn
plored the representatives OF the legisla-
ture to be true to their people, and warned
them OF the influence welded by corpora
tions in other States
About two-thirds of his talk was devoted
to the money question. He stated that
one battle did not decide a war, and the
cause for which he fought would certainly
be victorious in 1900.
AIR. Bryan shoUK hands with l 300 peo-
pie at the close of his address
He seemed to be suffering considerably
from the effects of the accident at st. Au-
gustine Thursday night. but his vigorous
physique enabled him 60 keep up and NOV
ing. A sli ght discoloration was seen above
his left eye and his face was pale. These
were the only outward evidences of the
accident. although tinge of pain would
occasionally sweep across his face. His
legs were bandaged in places where he re
ceived bruises.

GEDDEs May BE CHIEF CLERK.
His Transfer to the Department of
Agriculture Is Significant.

Andrew Geddes, a clerk in the Eastern
division of the Pension Bureau, was today
appointed by Secretary Wilson OF the
Department of Agriculture to a clerkship
in the office OF the Secretary. The transfer
of Clerk Geddes from the Interior to the
Departme mt OF Agriculture was made the
suggestion OF Secretary Wilson.
The salary which Geddes drew in the In
terror was 81 400, and that which viii
he his in the Agricultural Department will
be 81 600. 1t is a promotion, of course,
but this transfer has much deeper sig
nficance than this. The supposition is
that Mr. Geddes viii be made chief clerk
OF the departments Agriculture, and that
Donald McCuiag. the present chief clerk.
will probably retire.
1t is understood that Geddes has been
backed for the office OF chief clerk of the
Department OF Agriculture by some pow
erful influences. Geddes was appointed TO
clerkship in the Interior Department
from Iowa, April 27, 1883, and was pro,
NOTED to his present grade September 8,
1891 He is an old soldier. Donald Mac
Cuaig, the present chief clerk, was born
in Scotland, and was appointed from 0toe
county, Neb., by Secretary Morton. The
salary OF this office is So 800.

Two large steamboats,, a number of
barges and slliffs are at Memphis, pre-
pared to take the supplies to the homes
OF deStitution as soon as the food is OBJ
tsined. Gen. Sullivan thought that the
work of relief would begin tomorrow, and
said that when once inaugurated, it would
be pushed along rapidly.
The Secretary OF War has not yet re
oeived any information from the officers

ST. LUKEs CONCERT.
Sweet Musicians Sing and Play In aid
Of Sweet Charit-ay.

Of Sweet Charit-ay.
a good audience greeted st. Luke's
concert at Metropolitan Opera House last
night, and listened with much interest and
delight to a programme replete with
charming music and effective talbleaux.
The entertainment was given by ST.
Lukes Circle Of Kings Daughters, under
the direction of Miss Eliza Moore, and in
aid of that noble eharity-the Home for
Incurables, of Raleigh.
Miss Moore succeeded In interesting
many of the most talented of Raleigh $
musicians and several of our sweetest vo-
calists.
The orchestra was made mp of dozen
or more Of the musical artists Of the Blind
Institution, and their selections would
have done credit to professionals.
Prof. Bryan, who is at all times well
coined by a Raleigh audience, appeared
on the programme.
The singing of Miss Peay, of Durham,
was greatly enjoyed, and she received the
most fiattering enc0reS. Miss GoOdsOn
and Miss Minor were likewise vocifer-
ously applauded and forced to respond to
encores. The banjo selections were a de-
light to the audience. The banjoists,
Miss Louise Mahler and Mr.. Smith, were
happy in their selections, and the artistic
handling of the instruments by them es-
peciaHy by Miss Mahler, received the
heartiest applause, not only from the spe-
cial friends Of this charming young lady,
but from every person I'M the audience.
The following was the very excellent

viii watch April 9TH aud it's happenings.
They will begin to feel, if never before,
the truth of the warnings SO long accen-
tuated by the News and Observer of the
open attack upon North Carolina by the
railroads through the Federal courts,
which Thomas Jefferson pronounced to
be the greatest danger to Republican in
Stitutions
A lot of directors got together at Bur
Hngton and bargained away the property
Of the people in a way that was not
satisfactory to them They avoided the
Legislatures just behind and before them
for the purpose of keeping the peoples
property "out of politics" They claim
they had the power and tell the people
they have got to abide by their bunghng
bargain, which even the railroad offered
to modify to 30 years. They now refuse
to let the State courts decide the matter,
preferring, for their own rea sons, the
Federal courts
No matter what may be the outcome
as to their legal power in the premises,
the truth will stand eteTnally that a
trustee who has unnecessarily made q
bargain with which his trustor at the first
opportunity expressed dissatisfaction can
never see that bargain established upon
the moral basis that underlies at once
Il property and the willingness of the
owner as to its disposition.
But the question is upon the people
in the flesh, with tyranny of spirit that
was the seed of the French Revolution,
as well as of the American Revolution.
Here comes the outside gang represent
ing in the last analysis London money
bags to force the people of the State to
take only 100000 out OF 100000 earn
ings on the North Carolina Railway be-
cause the Trustees, acting with strange
haste and untimliness, should have lack
ed nerve and Judgment
The people will find a way to stand
against the infamous Invasion of their
inalienable rights. The more turbulent
the storm that beats about the State
house of this staunch Tar-Heel folk,
the more resonant win be that bell-buoy,
which is as musical now with the hymn
of liberty as on that morning when the
Mecklenburgers met and declared them
selves free and independent of Pierpont
Morgan's England.

SALE oF G. f. AND Y. V. R.R.

Mr.. George NJ. Rose, of Fayetteville,
went home yesterday. He is the attorney
for the Cape Fear and Yadllin Valley
Railroad, and has been here for several
days securing the passage Of a bill
through the Legislature preventing the
sale OF the railroad in sections, as is pro-
posed by the New York stockholders, and
as IS asked by the Southern Railway.
The Southern wants it sold in this way
SO that it may get control of the line
from Greensboro to Bennettsville, S. c..
The Baltimore stockholders and the peo-
pie Of Fayetteville, however oppose this
plan OF reorganization, and sent Mr.. Rose
here to secure the enactment of some leg
islation to prevent it. In this he has sue
ceeded, and he went away yesterday
pleased with the result OF his mission
The act passed by the Legislature pro
Vides that the road shall be sold as a
whole, and if sold separately all rights
and franchises are taken away and only
the poadbed and road equipment can be
disposed of.
