BRUCE IN THE WEST.

SPEAKS AT HIS ALMA MATER - III
GREAT NEGRO REPREsENIAAi'h
GREETED BY MANY THOUSANDS
HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY FROM THE
DOOR. o,.
Especial to the BEE.)
All of Oberlin-citizens, faculty ano
students came out en- masSe 10 houoi
two of her distinguished sons, GOV
Bushnell and Ex-senator B. X. Bruce,
both of whom were former Stuuents
more than thirty years ago.
The old college chapel, Where tney
were wont to attend daily evening
prayers, was crowded; hundreds coulo
not gain admittance.
This was the first meeting OF the
campaign, hence no effort was spared
to make it great success. Inc nleIe 81
mention of these two names was SUM
cient to fill the largest church. me
committee made a mistake IN not Sc
lecting the First Church, which seats
Z, 200, Tor it would have been hlled.
The governor spoke fully forty MIN
utes, when he gave way to Ex-senator
Bruce, who fairly captured the large
audience, and for two hours command
ed the closest attention, discussing the
tariff, the financial question, and a
strong plea for an honest and pure
ballot.
His speech tonight stamps him not
only one of the most eloquent men
who ever addressed an Oberlln audi
enCe, but one of the finest campaign
speakers of the times. His effort was
one to make Oberlin proud of him.
Although this little village has sent
forth into public life many men, Cabi-
net officers, governors, congressman,
Judges and others, and two United
States senatorS-BruCe and kyle-yet
she was never prouder of any of them
than she was tonight of these two dis
tinguiShed visitors.
Mr.. Bruce, after eloquently speaking
Of the topics of the day, urged the vo-
ters to see to it that they give Bushnell
an overwhelming majority and return
legislature that would keep in the
Senate Mark Hanna, that greatest OF
all political leaders. He said at no
time was it more neCeSs ary to do this
than now, that the administration OF
Major Mckinley might receive an in
dorsement that would be complete.
When Mr.. Bruce had finished, many
came forward to grasp his hand and to
congratulate him upon his grand effort.
Among them were some OF his old pro-
fessors, chief among whom was Prof:
Skurtliff, who was his teacher, and
who well remembered Mr.. Bruce as the
leader of his class.
Oberlin is one of the most critical
towns in Ohio for any public speaker,
and he who can pass the test may con-
graduate himself. Senator Bruce fairly
charmed them, both by his eloquence,
logic and his familiarity with the great
questions of the day.
He and the governor will speak at
Akron tomorrow night, and will take
tour through the State together,
Mr.. Hanna will join them at some OF
their meetings, making one of the
strongest teams in this campaign.

THE YOUTH HELD.


JUDGE KIMBALL SENT THE CASE TO
THE GRAND JURY.
Howard Freeman, youth about IA
or IS years old was charged, in the
saulting with intent of raping Irene
Jordon and Lena Sawyer, aged six
years. Several witnesses were exam
ined who testified as to the alleged
assault. Lawyer Sellers, counsel for
the boy, said to Judge Kimball that he
hoped that he would treat the colored
boy as he had treated the white bows
and men. 81 can cite you cases where
white men have been brought here
charged with criminally aSsaulting
white girls and fine only has been
imposed. | hope also that you will try
the case according to law and the
evidence"
At this point Judge Kimball thought
Mr.. Sellers remarks were reflection
on the court. Judge Kimball inform
ed MIR. Sellers that all the argument
and law he could produce would not
change his mind as to the guilt OF the
boy and he turned to Mr. Mullouney
and asked him how much bail he
wanted. The prosecuting attorney
said s., 900 in each case. But, remark
ed lawyer Sellers, "the court has not
heard the testimony Of the other little
girl and | have not examined her" J"
The court has heard enough. The
defendent will give $4,000 bonds for
the action of the grand jury. LAWYER
Sellers became very indignant and
asked tie court could he be heard on a
reduction in the bail. The court said
YES

 Last night the veterans enjoyed campfire at the city auditorium, pre-

This growth of pa- triotic sentiment and good citizenship constitutes a powerful appeal to states manship to make way for these benef- icent consequences.
 '"The proposition Is an accomplished fact in nearly every country in Europe. in the British dependencies of both hemispheres and even In Hawaii. In Great Britain 1000, 900 depositors have upward of s550 000, 900 in savings &C., cumulated during 35 years. and in ten years fewer than 10000 Hawaiian de- positors saved nearly s1,000. 900. These vast accumulations have been made with the least possible loss to the gov ernments which guarantee their pay ment and with a minimum cost to the millions of depositors.
 More than third of the postal sav- ings accounts in European offices are held by minors and over two-thirds by people of the most humble callings It Is essentially the bank of this class. Postal savings would not conflict with other savings banks, but would encour- age savings rather than accumulations. The conversion of money order offices into savings Repositories would soon afford infinitely more facility for receiv- ing interest bearing deposits than the interest paying banks do now"

 Washington, Nov. 17.-Hon. W. Ran dal Cremer, the we'll known English ad- vocate of international arbitration, Is In the city for the purpose of present. ing 10 the members of the senate monster petition from the trades organ ization people of Great Britain in fa- vor of the adoption of treaty on that subject. In speaking of his mission last night, MT. Cremer said:
 '"The petition which I have brought with me on my present visit Is different from those which brought on my for mer trips. Those were signed by per- sons In official life only, while that now to be presented represents emphatically peoples movement. The signers are over 1000 elected officers and represent 2,750, 900 members of the provident, in- dustrial and trade organizations of the country. The petition Is a perfectly unique instrument, and I don't think any such expression of opinion has ever been elicited from the industrial classes before. The presentation of this peti- ton to the senate will show that the common people of Great Britain are in favor of the principle for which it stands and will disarm any suspicion that it Is a scheme favored by the off, .ial classes only"
