Principle and VIII Prove Improbable.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Dec. 30.-Col. William J.
BRYAN was the guest Of honor at a reception
and banquet given here tonight by the Ne
braska Travelling Mems Bryan Club. Two
hundred and fifty covers were laid. Tho af-
fair was In part a celebration OF the safe re-
turn from the war OF Col. Bryan and in part
an annual %festivity. Congressman Bailey OF
Texas was down on the. programme to re-
spond TO Democracy but at the last mo-
ment he teleRraphsd his regrets because OF
illness in his family. Representative A. j.
Weaver of Falls City was toast master.
Col. Bryan's speech was the last on the pro-
Rramme and was not reached until after mid
night. He responded to this toast:
Americas Mission:
let not the crimes of the East Ger crimson thy name;
Be freedom and science and virtue thy fame
He said tina. the mission OF this nation was
to liberate those in bondage. not to put the
shackles upon those who are struggling to be
free. The boast Of the American nation In
times past was Tint right makes might, and
he urged that this motto Of the republic be
not abandoned and that we turn not back to
the doctrine of Europe, that might makes
right. The American pme0PIe have shewn that
strain, the spirit Of, conquest The colonial
idea he beloved TO be wrong in principle and

A Americans rejoice with Dewey in hit
marvellous victory. To us he Ia a hero: TO
the Fill 1inos he can be a savior. Don't let
him be known to p~osterity as the svbiugator of
an alien race, but as the redeemer OF an op-
pressed people: not as a Lord Give, but as a
Lafayette. The gratitude of a people is better
than n Iewelled sword.
"Self-restraint Is a difficult virtue to prac-
ticei but we have labored diligently TO prevent
foreign tlnanciers from disregarding the rights
of the American people. Now you are called
upon to use your influence to prevent the
American people from oisregardlng the rights
of others. Imperialism finds it's inspiratiNn

4 NEW SUBMARINE BOAT.
Successful Trial of tho Invention of a Brit
ish Naval Onicer in Australia.

VANCOUVER. B.. c.. Dec. 30.-A former Brit
ish naval officer. said to be Lieut.. lines, has
for some time been secretly at work in Aus
tralia on a new submarine torpedo boat. A
trial Of the invention has just taken place be-
fore the Chief. Admiral Pear
son. in Sydney harbor. There were few per-
sons at the trial. An eyewitness OF the expert
ment said:
The shape Of the boat is like that Of the
torpedo itself. 1t is cigar-shaped and pointed
at both ends. The model was made in seven
different engine shops to insure secrecy. The
performance of the craft was marvellous. This
driving powe- was electricity, and compressed
air was supplied for the occupants. The boat
was only fifteen feet long, but now that Its
success is assured. a model to hold six men
will be built at once. The man in the coming
tower can manipulate the vessel or it can be
manipulated from below. The submarine
on the under side than on top. to give 1t trim.
The Engines are. placed amidships. They
drive a shaft which turns the stern wheel. In
addition to this propeller there Is another which
works at the end OF a vertical. shaft directly
under the centre of the craft and causes the
disappearance and temperance OF tile boat. '"
The eyewitness, who is close to Admiral
Pearson. and is supposed to voice his opinions.
added:
"The submarine invention Is the most re-
markable Of modern times. The model was
not fitted, with torpedo tubes. as this was a
matter Of detail. The. trial was to test the
efficacy of the central screw in submerglng
and raising the vessel. The experiment was
eminently successful"

The State Prison Association Recommends
That He Be Retained at Sing Sing.
ALBANY. Dec. 30.-The State Prison Associa-
ton Of New York has watched with great
interest the improvements in Sing Sing Prison
under Warden Sage's administration during
the last four years. Secretary William F.
Round. who was in the city to-day. said:
up to four years ago. Sing Sing Prison was
a mere yard full Of sheds and unsightly build
ings. with no systematic industries. except
such as might return a profit to the State under
favorable contracts. Warden Sage has changed
all this. He went there a novice. became
thoroughly interested in the work. and has
made such a change in the policy and tone OF
the prison that, for the first time after fifty
three years of existence, the Prison Associa-
ton has ventured to. recommend that he be
continued as warden
Secretary Round said he recommended to-
day to Superintendent of State Prisons Collins
that solely on grounds of improved, discipline
and economies as represented In the reports
of the State Superintendent OF Prisons. Warden
Sage should be retained. Mr.. Sage is a Demo-
crat.

projected for Charles w. Couldock. and which
the aged actor on his deathbed begged them
to give for his Rrandchild. took place yesterday
at the Knickerbocker Theatre. The receipts
were $500. and the expenses very light. as
almost everything was done without charge.
It would require far more than that sum to
hire those who performed for charity. William
