suit in Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 16.-CoI Bryan
last night gave to the Associated Press
the following interview relative to the
late election: While l do not under
stard that service in the volunteer
army prevents a soldier from express
ing opinions upon political questions I
declined to take part in the late cam
paign lest 1 should be accused by par
tisan opponents of attempting to en-
barrass the administration. Now that
the election is over l shall exercise n
citizen's privilege Of discussing the re-
turns. Compared with the election OF
1898 the Republicans have gained in
some places and lost in others. 1t was
not sweeping Republican victory. On
the whole, the result is not surprising
when it is remembered that the admin
istration is just concluding a success
full war.
Calls 1t a Continuance of the Case.
while a majority OF the soldiers are
probably anti-Repubncan the manage
ment Of the war has been entirely in
Republican hands, and the strongest
argument used during the campaign
was that n Republican defeat would dis
credit the president in the eyes OF for
efsn nations while his commissioners
were engaged in making a treaty. 1t
was not u trial upon the issues now be-
fore the people, but a successful plea of
continuance of the case. The people
have not accepted the gold standard;
they have not fallen in love with the
plan to give the banks a monopoly of
the issue of par money; they have not
decided TO retire the greenbacks; they
have not surrendered to the trusts.
War Took the Front Place.
These questions were forced into
the background by the declaration of
war but they must be faced again as
soon as peace is restored. The Chicago
platform presents for public considera-
tiCn certain vital economic questions
That platform has rot been abandoned
by those who indorsed it in 1896 1t will
be rcafirmed in 1900 because it gives ex-
preston to the hopes and aspirations
of large majority OF the party. When
the Democrats. PopuIists and Silver Re
pJbiicans favored Cuban Independence
they understood that war would give a
temporary advantage to the party in
power. but they were willing TO risk de-
feat in order to aid the people fighting
TO Be free.

negotiations will be opened at an early day
toward so modifying the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty as to meet the conditions of the
present day concerning American con-
struction and control of the Nicaraguan
canal. But while recent events on both
sides of the water have made this move
obvious, the British ambassador, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has not up to the present time
received any instructions to open negotia-
tons on this subject nor is there any in
timation that instructions are about to be
received. For this reason some surprise
is expressed in high diplomatic quarters
at seeming authoritative announcements
that Sir Julian has such instructions in
hand, or is about TO receive them and will
execute them during holiday week by open
ing conferences with the state department.
In the absence of all instructions on the
matter, the ambassador could not have
made an authoritative statement, and had
such instructions been received he is not in
the habit of giving authoritative disclo-
sures of his purpose. At the same time it
is thought to be quite likely that the near
future i'll bring forth negotiations of this
character. The United States charge
d'affaires at London. Mr.. Henry White.
is at present the guest of Lord Salisbury
at Hatfield House. and unafficial cable re-
ports have indicated that the visit might
have some connection with the abrogation
of the C,ayton-Bulwer treaty In diplo-
matte quarters here this construction is ont
placed upon the visit, which is said to be
quite in line with the usual social feature
OF the holidays. If hoover it has an Of
fetal significance. there are phases likely
to come up outside of the abrogation Of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty 1t will be re-
called that the presidents recent message
referring to American construction of the
canal, was misinterpreted by the English
press to mean that the United States in
tended to disregard the Clayton Bulwer
treaty and go ahead with the canal with
out reference to England. This view was
promptly disavowed by officials here
Since then there has been about time for
the official mail to reach London. and this
doubtless permits a fuller clearing I'D OF
the erroneous impression that the English
press and public had probably formed.
IL IS felt that this better understanding
may naturally lead up TO instructions from
the foreign Office to take up the whole sub
jet, but as stated. no such Instructions
have been received up to this time. and
there Is no intimation that they are about

"AGIN THE GOVERNMENTS
General Howard Accounts for the
soldiers Takin This Attitude.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Before the war
investigating commission today General
Howard said he strongly opposed 5urea-
cracy and ne thought commanding gen.
eral should be in absolute control of has
camp or corps. General Wilson became
incensed at this and asked If General
Howard thought the management Of
Camp Thomas had been hampered by
bureaucracy. II took about fifteen min
utes TO get a direct answer 10 this, the
officer answering by numerous illustra-
tions in explanation of what he thought
constituted bureaucracy. But tn the third
repetition Of the question General How
ard said he thought there might have
been something of the sort in connection
with Camp Thomas.
As to the lessons of the war, General
Howard said ne thought X had been thor
ougAy proven that troops could not he
acclimated in southern camps for service
in the more nnalarious regions Of the West
Indies.
General Howard said that he had never
approved of the law which prevented the
president from calling on retired army
officers for service in time Of war. HIS
experience confirmed this. and he thought
there were many experienced retired OFF,
GERS who could have served the govern
ment better than some OF the young in
experienced men who were appoin-ed from
civil life. He thought all officers not reg
ulars should be examined as 20 their fit
ness before being admitted 10 service.
General Howard was aIs) IN favor OF
STAFF school for officers and said ali san
appointees should be compelled TO receive
this training.
General Howard sail he had met ne
Segurauca on 4ler return from Santiago
and returned with her from Tampa 20
New York. The men were IN a very run
down condition and thought they had been
badly treat ted and were generally "agin'

ton. lie thought t1eir first complaints
