LINCOLN, Neb, Dec 23-Col w. J..
Bryan returned to Lincoln this afternoon and
was tonight rendered a reception at the
Oliver Theater by the Woman's BimetaIlic
League. The house was crowded and Col
Bryan received AN ovation. He was intro
duced by Governor Holcomb, who formally
welcomed him home and complimented him
for his patriotism in enlisting in the army.
After thanking his neighbors for their cor
dial wecome and complimenting the MEM
bers of his regiment and Colonel vifquain,
In whose charge he left them, he justified his
resignation as follows:
II had five months of peace in the army
and resigned in order to take part in a
fight. L am as much interested in the people
of the United States as l am In the people
of Cuba. and unless j am mistaken in iudg-
ing We are called on TO meet more important
problems in the United States just now
than Will confront our army in Cuba. Some
of these problems were under discussion be-
fore hoSulitieS began: others have been
thrust upon lis as result of the war Let
me improve this my first opportunity to as
sure you that my zeal for the reforms ad-
Vocated a few months ago has not in the
least abated. Vital questions cannot be
killed or buried. and we were dealing with
vital questions when the call to arms re-
sounded through the land.
THE American people have not accepted
the gold standard as final 1t has wrought
more injustice in our country during the last
twenty-five years than Spain has wrought
in all her colonies. and opposition to ii will
grow until the gold and silver coinage of the
Constitution is fully restored. The trusts
which now flourish in defiance of laws are
more merciless than Weyler was, and the
new trust-the paper money trust which is
seeking to obtain control of all the paper
money of the Nation--is a greater menace
TO the country's welfare than any foreign

BEEF RATION SCANDAL.
General Miles Says Bad Meat Caused
Much Sickness in the Army.

Much Sickness in the Army.
CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 23-General Miles
| returned to Washington to-day, after being
| the guest of honor here last night at the
New England banquet. The Commercial
| Tribune says that when asked to the in
vestigation into the beef-ration scandal he
is now making to which he referred in his
! testimony last Wednesday, General Miles
| said:
MY suspicious were aroused several
| months ago. and | at once instituted an in
VeStigatiOn into the matter of sending beef
| TO the army in the West Indies. The item in
my testimony of Wednesday, relating to 327
| of canned fresh beef, which sswas unfit for
| food, is only an item. This quantity was
sent to one town in Porto Rico alone. How
much more was sent to Porto Rico do not
| know
How about the beef supply for the army
1T was just as bad. The conditions there
were no better than they were in Porto Rico
as | indicated in my testimony"
How about rations before the army en-
! barked? Was the supply no better before
! the transports sailed than after the army
/ was established in Cuba?"
1T was the same at Tampa and the same
| at Jacksonville
Twill you give a little more light on what
you meant by this assertion in your testi-
| mony before the war commission yesterday:
| General Miles suggested that the food was
| sent to his large army under pretense of an
| experiment? -
Il think" continued General Miles that
| that sentence is sufficiently plain. Pre-
tense, he said, lis the precise term to be
used. 1t is absurd to pretend that these
| enormous quantities of beef were sent to an
| entire army simply as an experiment. To
| expect that beef can be exposed to the trop-
| ical sun for sixty hours without notifying
| is out of the question
How about the chemicals used in prepar-
| ing this beef?"
| 'As ] stated in my testimony / believe
| that the action of these chemicals was large
| RESPONSIBLE sickness
| l have medical authority for this statement
! and l believe it to be true.
| How far along has your own investiga-
| ton into this subject progressed?'

| testimony of a large number of officers and
men upon this matter, some of which l gave

SHE SPOKE TO MOTHERS
MRS. II. c. BURBANK READS AN
INTERESTING PAPER


and the Beauty of the Lesson of
Obedience - Speaks Strongly
About Ill-Advised Marriages-
DIR. BisseH Delivers an Address.
One of the most vigorous papers ever
| read before the mothers Of st. Paul
was that of Mrs. H. c. Burbank, read
yesterday before the union meeting of
ST Paul Mothers clubs in the lecture
room of Unity church.
Her paper was not prepared for this
! occasion, but was read by request and
| had to do with the training of children
| and the beauty of the lesson of ODE
| dience. She gave examples Of different
| classes of mothers, who from various
| reasons, are unsuccessful in the right
development of their children's charac-
| tiers. Her paper also had to do with
| heredity, and she expressed herself
! strongly in regard to ill-adviSed mar
| riages, saying:
"Stockmea will go to Australia or
France to Insure proper breeding of
! their horses or cattle, but for the babies
| anything is good enough"
In reference to clothes, she said:
They are absolutely nothing in them
| selves while children are growing up.
They are merely things to make them
comfortable, to play and have a good
| time in: a means to an end that is
| all, and anything that interfereS with
climbing trees and fences playing with
the dog and making mud pies is chains
| and slavery.
| II once heard a physician say that
clothes had sent more women to the
| devil than any other one agency on
earth. This is all the fault Of the
mothers who had taught them from
their cradles up that the one thing to
be considered first, last and always
| was their clothes. That to be we'll
dressed, in the latest fashion, was the
whole of the law and the prophets"
In closing she spoke of the value of
comradeship between the mother and
child, saying: 1.-The center of all prog
ress is the mother"
DR.. Helen Bissell spoke briefly on
the great advantage it would be to
the mothers clubs to join the fedora
ton. She said
I'm a primitive state each person is
sufficient to himself, but as the world
| advances there comes the necessity for
enlargement. 1t is of vast importance
to bring the mothers into touch with
the state work. The mothers need to
turn.
People who absorb and do not give
out are not of any use to the commun-
| ity."
DR.. Bissell spoke Of a proposed plan
of cooperation in regard to child study
which will be brought before the fed
Grafton at Winona in the fall.
The clubs represented were: Lower
Town, Dayton's Bluff, Monroe, st. An
thony Park, Merriam Park, Jackson
Drew, Crocus Hill, Sibley, Arlington
Hills

Mrs. David Colville and Master Golfer

obtain any portion Of 1t they must meet
the rates which have been made by the
Canadian Pacific. To refuse to meet
those rates would permanently divert
the traffic from their lines, and would
be an act of dnjustice to the stockhold-
ers whom they represent"
This, in bfdef, Is a statement of the
facts pertaining to the controversy now
existing.
At a meeting in New York some three
weeks ago the first resolution offered
was for arbitration Of all differences
between the Canadian Pacific railway
and Its competitors in the United
voted solid for this arbitration, ex-
cepting the Canadian Pacific, who re-
fused and voted In the negative.
One Of the principal questions which
the Canadian Pacific refused to leave
to arbitration was the matter Of colon
list rates from Ontario to points in
Manitoba. It was shown that full 80
Ontario originated on the line Of the
Grand Trunk railway. The Grand
Trunk had made a proposition to the
Canadian Pacific to divide the business
equally; that Is, send 30 per cent via
North Bay and the Canadian Pacific
railway, and so per cent of 1t over Its
own lines to Chicago and it's connec-
tions, thence to St. Paul and the North
ern Pacific railway to Manitoba. This
very fair proposition was refused point
blank by the Canadian Pacific, and
they further refused to allow this mat
ter to be arbitrated, claiming that the
Canadian Pacific railway was entitled
absolutely to ali business originating
in Ontario going to points in Manitoba;
and this in the face Of the fact that
the Grand Trunk railway via Chicago
xxyif NO q
actually from 100 to 200 miles the short
est line between the two territories re-
ferred to.
In other words: The Canadian Pacific,
while demanding the right to come into
the United States and take business
into Canada and back into the United
States even as far west as Oregon
and California, at rates from IS to $3.50
less than prevailed upon the United
States lines, utterly refused to allow
that the United States lines had any
right to do business, for example, be-
tween Toronto and Winnipeg, where
the lines via Chicago and st. Paul were
actually the shortest route by more
than 100 miles.
The Canadian Pacific railway claimed
they were willing to arbitrate coast
rates, but as the Transcontinental lines
had several other important differences
hanging in the wind, they naturally re-
fused to fix up the only thing that
seemed to be- disturbing. the Canadian
line and leave other and equally impor-
tant matters unadjusted..
Since the, interstate commerce COM
mission decided that the Canadian Pa
cific railway were in no way entitled
to any diffefential the United States
lines have stated they were not now
at liberty to4arbttrate any question or
set Of questions
