charge of the train since it left Washing

Wasl ington, Dec. William j. Bryan
came 10 the. House Of Representatives,
about o'clock today and was given a
most cordial reception by his former col
leagues in Congress.
Earlier in the day Representative Bailey
of Texas, the Democratic floor leader,
breakfasted with Mr. Bryan at the latter's
room, and it is understood discussed in a
general way questions OF public and party
policy. When Mr.. Bryan reached the
House he was escorted to the Democratic
cloak room, where he was surrounded by
members and made the recipient of many
attentions. For some time he talked so
cially and politically with that unreserve
which marks cloak room discussion.
Col. Bryan expressed himself very en-
phaucally TO his Democratic associates
upon the duty OF Congress in regard 10
the Philippines. lie believes that the ISL
ands ought not to be held longer than is
necessary for the United States TO estab-
lish there a stable and independent gov
eminent, such as was guaranteed to Cuba
in the resolution which led to the declara-
ton of war, and he believes 1t is the duty
of Congress 10 make declaration Of the
intention Of the United States a the car
lest possible date, in order that there
may be no misunderstanding in the flu
ture, and that the natives of the islands
may rest assured that the ultimate pur-
pose of the United States is TO give them
a free and independent government
The war was fought for humanity's
sake, he says, and the United States In
the hour of victory at the close of the
war when the Philippines have fallen into
their possession, should stand upon the
policy It proclaimed at the outset regard
ing Cuba.
