THINKS IF WILL BEBRYAN AGAIN

Cleveland. Ohio. March % Senator
Teller of Colorado WAS asked here today
what, in his judgment, would be toe
Democratic issue in the next Presided
tial campaign.
- thiuk there Is no doubt, replied
Senator Teller. THAT the Democratic
party will make the financial question
the issue"
"Who will be the Democratic Presi
Dental noIDinee?" @2z
Undoubtedly MIR. Bryan will be the
choice of his party" promptly replied tie
Senator.
In regard to Mr.. Bryan's controversy
with Perry Belmont, Senator Teller re-
piled:
~ think Mr. Bryan did perfectly RI bit
in taking the position he did. Those
fellows In that organization are not
Democrats. They are Republicans mas.
ouerading under Democratic colors. They
opposed Mr.. Bryan's election in 1896
sayi1s his election would endanger the
nations welfare and he did perfectly
right in declining to accept the invita-
tion."

On Board the Stesmer Paris, San Juan.
Porto Rico, March IL, (From the Cores
pendent OF the Associated Press. 1.-The
arrival OF the American line steamer
Paris, with a large party of American
tourists before the city Of San Juan on
March 8, revived some of the sensation
OF war times to the inhabitants.
Crowds of the natives visited the wharves
after the arrival of the steamer on We'd
nesday evening, to take good look at
the ship that had kept them In such
dread. 1t was almost shutdown when
the anchor of the Paris dropped into the
open SEA more than half "a mile of Nor

ing her name had scarcely been run up
before answering signals came from the
ramparts.

nasty breakfast had been despatched. the
ship's boats were launc he'd and dashed
70 the steam launch. More than half Of
the passengers prepared to go ashore
The sea was rough and considerable dill
Guilty was experienced in entering the
boats.
General Grant took with him in the

and Mrs Arson Phelps Stokes, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Stewart Smith, Mr.. and
Mrs &. n. Taylor and Mr.. and Mrs.

landed safe On shore. General Grant es-
curted his party at once 10 his residence
where Mrs. Grant and several ladies had
prepared a bountlful breakfast,a la Porto
Rice
After breakfast the party danced for an
hour, and were escorted through Moro
and San Cristobal AT the latter fortress
the guns roared salute to the venerable
gentleman from Ohio.
General Henry's headquarters, the
Palace of Sa nta Catalina was the rende2 :
vous for most of the party. The general
was found in the midst of work, but no
courtly Spanish governor general ever
showed visitors through the palace with
more grace. Santurce, the most beautl-
full suburb of the West Indies was visited
in the afternoon.
Upon returning to the ship that night
Senator sherman fell partially into the
water and another passenger fell into the
sea. Both were Immediately rescued, but
tley received quite wetting.
Inc people of san Juan retain very
pleasant memories of the good ship Paris,
its courteous crew and the good Ameri-
cans aboard of it. Thy hope to be re-
warded with more of such visits.

master General Heath today received a
letter from Captain W. II. Elliott dlrec-
tor of posts of Porto Rico, relating expert
euoes on an official tour of the island
which he has just completed. Director
Elliott states that the people were incred-

tiers would be sacred in the mails an d
that any one who meddled with mail in
transit or in possession of the government
would DO severely punished. He says the
Porto Ricans entrust to the mails only
unimportant letters, never mailing any
matter regarded as private or valuable,
as the malls have frequently been rined.
Tho municipal authorities in the is-
land, Captain Elliott reports regard their
relief from the trouble and expense OF
carrying the mails as tho greatest bless

compelled to carry the mails without
compep sation as ~ sort OF int rchange oil

Captain Elliott, have retur ned to their
