Distinguished Orator May Have to
Abandon His Campnigntng.
Chicago, Oct. 10. - A special to the
Chronicle from Webster. Iowa, says:
william Jennings Bryan is a very
sick man. Friends who spent Satur-
day with him at the farm of Fred
White, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Iowa, three miles from Web
ster, are afraid that MI. Bryan may
have to temporarily abandon his cam
paign work, not only In Iowa, but in
Kentucky and Ohio.
When Mr.. Bryan awoke yesterday
morning !, he. complained about his
throat and lungs, but said that he SUI
fered from a similar ailment some time
before, but that it .had~yieided, to treat
ment.s Great crowds from alf'over Ke-
okuk county called Mt the White farm
during the day to see Mr.. Bryan, and
although he tried hard to remain out
doors his physical weakness mastered
his courage and he had to retire sever
al times to his room. A local physician
who was called, to treat the distin-
cuished invalid recommended a long
term of absolute rest and quiet.

POrtland's Welcome; to the Thir'
tenth Regiment Most HOspitable
I'm Oh rnRfor

Portland's. Welcome to h Thir-
teenth Regiment Most HOspitable
in Character.
Portland, Or, Oct. 1O-Too much can
not be said about the people of Port
land for the way in which they have
entertained the Minnesota regiment.
It was q wonderful demonstration of
hospitality and the soldiers arc simply
overcome by the attentions shown
them. AS 500 rs the outskirts of the
city were reached the whistles were
heard %shrieking, bells ringing and men,
ONE and children were seen waving
hands, flags and handkerchiefs. Bust
ness was suspended in the mills, cngi-
neers stopped their locomotives and
footed, the Minnesota bard played
and the soldiers cheered. AS the train
pulled across the bridge the steam
boats added to the general din, the
dispatch boat Mccullough fired the ma
tional salute and the soldiers became
so excited they could hardly wait for
the trains to pull into the station.
There was a tremendous crowd await
ing the soldiers there, but there We're
so many bands playing and whistles
blowing that one could not hear the
shouts of welcome. The Oregon regi-
ment vas lined up alongside the track
and shook their hats in the air as they
saw the familiar faces of their old
comrades. A parade was formed and
the regiment was escorted to the ar
mory where a banquet was served.
The streets of Portland We're filled
with people and business was practi-
cally suspended for the day. The
buildings We're decorated with flags
and Minnesota banners. The soldiers
were handed flowers and fruit. the wo-
mel went among them to see if any
thing special was needed. The COM
ment along the line of march was very
favorable. The people cheered, re-
marked on the size of the Minnesota
men, their style of marching.

New York, Oct. 10. - Old Boreas
again played battledore and shuttle
cock with the great single stickers,
and the third attempt to sail the first
ace of the Columbia Shamrock series
for the international trophy ended in
failure. The race was declared off ff-
teen minutes before the time limit ex-
pired, with the yachts still five miles
from the finish. But the vast throngs
who went down to the sea to witness
the battle royal were in a measure
compensated by seeing a magnificent
light weather duel. In the end the
disappointment to the patriots was
sharpened, perhaps, by the fact that
WREN the race was abandoned the
Columbia was in the lead and improv-

finished the American champion might

After three trials the experts are
about as much mystified as they were

London, Oct. 10.-Whatever may be
the result Of Great Britain's contro-
versy with the South African republic,
every department of the government
is as busy as though actual hostilities
had begun. The electric flash that an
nounced the mobilization of the army
reserves and the summoning of parlia-
ment set every wheel Of the govern
ment machinery. in motion. An hour
after the Gazette appeared executive
orders were being dispatched from
the war Office to every section of the
kingdom and the 10000 bulletins
which appeared posted throughout the
country are said to have been identi-
cal with the proclamation prepared for
use when the Fashoda incident re-
uuired such a step.
At the same time Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Balfour were issuing the necessary
orders for the reassembling of parlia-
ment and the admiralty was oncen
trating it's transports, tw%enty-four of
which are now secured at Liverpool
alone. So complete were the prepara-
tons that $4,000 reserves have already
individually received coupon tickets
which contain instructions where each
man shall report for railway trans
pcrtation to the place designated and
a money order for 3 shillings for pro-
visions en- route.
At WoOlwich it was asserted that u
per cent of the reserves could be fully
equipped within six days. In the ean
time the members of the two houses Of
parliament are arranging to return to
London. A force of men is busily en-
gagged in completing the improvements
at Westminster.
The most important news from
South Africa comes from Mafeking,
where twice on Saturday the British
camp was aroused. the men stood to
their arms. guns We're limbered and
patrols were dispatched in the direc-
ton of the border. No hostilities have
occurred as yet. but the enemy has
moved practically from the border,
eight miles from Mafeking, in force,
estimated ct least ut 5000. comprising.
five commands. The garrisoning and
fOrtifying Of the town are practically
completed. The streets are barricaded
and a perfect system Of mines has
been laid.
London, Oct. 10. - The Cape Town
correspondent Of the Daily Mail de-
clares that the story that a Boer ulti-
matun demanding the withdrawal Of
the British troops from the frontiers
had been presented is without founda-
ton, but he says the republics have
within the past week demanded a de-
claration Of the British intentions in
threatening terms. Hostilities in the
outlaying districts, the correspondent
says, are expected this week. Mr..
Hofmeyr, the A%frikander leader in
Cape Colony said on Friday, according
to the correspondent of the Daily Mail,
that but for him the Beers would have
begun fighting long ago.

Immense Corn Crtn..

Chicago, Oct. 10.-'.This years corn
crop will be one Of the largest in our
history said Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson. WHO is in Chicago with
the presidential party. "T'he total
yield It 10 estimated will be between
$500, 1900 and $500. 100000 of bush
els. There will be plenty for manu-
featuring and feeding, and we will
have all the corn to sell that anybody
wants to buy. The what extent the
crop will be shipped abroad will de-
pend largely upon the price it will
bring. The high prices offered for
meats will incline the farmers to use
their crop for feeding purposes"
