Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart. whose negro

reputation for her books. but her pride is
much sooner touched by references to her

NJ. Meline opened the proceedings by
yehemently repudiating the statement
that he had engaged i'll an anti-dem-

the accession of socialism to power
would spell ruin for France. NJ. Ri

BRYAN ON THE WAR.
This Nation Shouldn't Acquire New
Realms to Govern.

Omaha, June 15.-The Nebraska
building at the exposition was dedi-
Gated yesterday with appropriate
ceremony Governor Holcomb and
staff took part in the exercises. The
speakers Of the day were Constantine
J. Smith, William F. Gurley and
William j. Bryan. Bryan's Grafton
was notable for one thing, II being
his first public declaration on the war
issue. He took high ground on the
question, urging that the war Is for
humanity and not for extension OF
United States territory. In concluding
he said that the manifest destiny Of
this nation is not TO acquire new
realms to govern, but TO carry out the
fundamental principles Of democracy
to the end that equality among ciI-
zens may be secured.

Washington, June 15.-The eight
hours comprising the afternoon and
night sessions of the house We're de-
voted to debate on the Newlands res
olutions for the annexation of Ha-
wall. Twenty speeches were de
llvered The resolutions, according to
conservative estimates, will receive
twelve, all the republican votes and
will enlist the support of from fifteen
to twenty democrats and members of
other parties.
A caucus of the democrats of the
house was held and resolutions We're
adopted declaring it the sense of the
democrats of the house to be opposed
to Hawaiian annexation as a eonsuma-
ton that would prove injurious to the
interests of the United States and con
trary to the long established and gem
orally recognized policy OF the govern
ment. This action was taken after an
hour had been consumed in discussing
lutions upon the PROPOSE
tion of annexation. Messrs.
Bailey (Texas), King (Utah), Williams
tMiss.) and Dinsmore (Ark.)
were prominent speakers in advocacy
of the caucus action, and Messrs. Sui
ger On. ", Cochran MO- and Dew
ries (Cala,) led in the opposition.
Prior to the caucus there was likeli-
hood of several democrats favoring
annexation declining to go into the
caucus, fearing lest they might be
| placed in a situation that would re-
| quire their votes to be cast in &C
| cordance with caucus action and con-
trary to their convictions. All finally
entered the caucus, however, upon
the distinct understanding that the
action to be taken would be advisory
| rather than mandatory and no dem
ocrat should be bound by the resoln-
! tions. The resolutions were adopted
| by a vote of 81 to II. Prior to the
caucus it was claimed that % would
vote for annexation, but now it Is
believed that IA will more nearly rep
resent the democratic vote in support
| of the resolutions.
