Although c. l.. Weems has just
made a public announcement of his
candidacy for the Congressional nom
nation, his intentions were privately
made known to the party leaders some
weeks ago, in fact as soon as the va
cancy occurred. There is nothing
new. however, in Mr.. Weem's declar-
ations either private or public as he
has been looked upon as an eager re-
cipient for the honor for the last four
wears, and it was generally understood
that whenever an opportunity pre-
scented itself he would come forward.
He is the sort of a politician that sees
a long way ahead and in present con-
ditions he can no doubt discern an OPP
ening which may lead to an epoch in
his career, but which, if lost, may
close the avenue in that direction for

Mr.. BrYan's Speech.

Chicago, Sept. 16-Wm. J. Bryan be-
gan his address on the subj CT Of Monop'
oies" this forenoon before the national
conference on trusts and combinations.
Every seat in the building was filled,
and dense crowd unable to gain ad-
mission filled the entrances TO the ball.
Mr.. Bryan was given rousing recep-
ton. He was introduced by Governor
Stanley, of Kansas.
MIR. Bryan before addressing tho con-
ference presented to the resolutions
committee set of resolutions ienouDc-
ing trusts and monopolies.
The committee was reconvened to re-
ceived these after it had deCi led at
meeting held last evening not to report
any resolutions to the conference.
Mr.. Bryan will endeavor with the
support of the radical element to put
hia through the conference. In accord
snce with his statement last night, the
Nebraskan made no attempt to reply
to the specific arguments OF Mr.. Cock
ran, but devoted his TIM to the dis
cussion Of the methods by which mo-
uopolies could be destroyed. National
control of combinations and the with
drawal of special favors were among
his proposals. Ia bis speech Mr.. Bryao
urged that trusts were special enemies
of workingmen and that the high tariff
aided monopolies. He favored an
amendment to the constitution that
will give 10 the Congress power to des
troy every trust in the country.
He closed by saying II believe the
doctrine that God made all men OF the
same dust and did not make some to
crawl on hands and knees and others
to ride upon their backs. Let Us show
what can be done when we put into &C
tual practice those great doctrines of
human equality and of equal rights and make
this government what the fathers intended
so that we shall lead the world step by step
into higher grades

VANDERBILT'S INCOME

Great interest continues to be taken
10 the distribution which the will OF
Cornelius Vanderbilt will be found to
make of his great fortune, estimated al
S15O,0O0,OO0.
Young Cornelius, eldest son OF the
dead millionaire, is believed by Wall
street men to have the best prospects
of getting the largest share of this i'm
mense sum.
The income which the elder Cornelius
enjoyed during his life was one of the
largest in the country. OF his estimat'
ed wealth of $150,000,000 it Was said in
Wall street, about S10,000,000 was in
unproductive assets. II was also said
that the average income on the remand
err was between and per cent.
Calculating 40 income of 4 per cent.
on S140,O00000, it would amount to
s., 500, 900 year or SO .342 day. Di-
viding this sum of S15, 342 by ]. 40, the
number OF minutes in day, gives an
income of about S1065 minute. This
would amount to a little less than is
cents second.
The only member of the Vanderbilt
family not in New York now is Alfred
son of the dead finance king, who was
located Thursday in the interior of
Japan. He has been travelling. Word
of his fathers death was sent to him On
Tuesday, and Thursday afternoon at 8
o'clock q cable message WAS received
from him, saying that he would start
for America at once.

BRYAN AND COCHRAN.

The Joint debate looked for last night
in Chicago between VIM. J. Bryan and
Burke Cochran on trusts did not take
place. Central Music Hall was packed
with an eager audience, but the people
present had to content themselves with
out the oratory of the famous Nebras
kan, who, however, occupied seat on
the platform. MIR. Bryan reached Cen
trail Music Hall early in the evening.
h went direct TO room upstairs snd
surprised the committee by declining
10 sneak at the night session with W.
Bourke Cochran, in accordance with
the programme previously arranged.
Mr. Bryan explained that he did not
wish to let the impression 60 out that
he was to enter into debate with Mr..
Cochran. For that reason he said ne
would not speak with Mr.. Cochran at
the same session. Mr.. Cochran was
seut for and he aud Mr.. Bryan discuss.
cd the situation. The committee
withdrew to allow the two ore.
tors to settle the dispute among
themselves. MIR. Bryan asserted
that he never said he would follow Mr..
Cochran with an address on the same
evening. If the committeeman got
that impression from the conversation
he had with them over the long-dis
lance telephone Thursday, he said,
they misunderstood him.
Mr.. Cochran wanted to talk at the
same session with Mr.. Bryan, and OF.
lered to flip a coin to determine who
should have the privilege of delivering
the closing address. Mr.. Bryan would
not accept this proposition. Mr.. Cock
ran then agreed to appear at
Y time the committee desired. The
programme was then changed to meet
Mr.. Bryan's wishes. Mr. Bryan said
he was anxious to address the confer
once, and repeated that his only reason
for changing the programme was to
avoid any indication OF public debate
with Mr.. Cochran. Mr.. Bryan will
speak at today's session.
Though disappointed in failing to
see Bryan and Cochran pitted
against each other the audience
seemed to ENJOY MT. COCHRAN,
who was at his best, and his speech
was punctuated with frequent and pro-
longed applause. When Mr.. Bryan
made his appearance at the entrance, it
was the signal for tumultuous cheering,
which lasted until the Ne0raskan had
taken his seat on the speakers stand.
AT the close of his speech Mr.. Cock
ran paid Mr.. Bryan well chosen com.
pliment, which the democratic leader
blushinsly acknowledged. MIR. Cock
ran likened Mr.. Bryan to a monopoly,
and claimed he was bigger monopoly
as the leader of the democratic party
than any financial corporation in the
world. Mr.. Cochran spoke for about
two hours, and when he concluded
cries for Bryan came from all over the
house. Finally, Mr.. Bryan arose and
said that for the good of the conference
all partisan feeling should be eliminat'
ed from the gathering, and, although
he agreed with Mr.. Cochran in many OF
his arguments, it was necessary that his
side of the controversy should be gwen
today,
