ARTFUL
DODGER
BRYAN.
He IS cornered by the Boilers
Candidate for Governor With
Some Leading Questions
As TO LOUISVILLE CONVENTION
His Equivoeal Responses Worthy
of the Most Accomplished
Stump Speaker.

LOUISVILLE KY, Oct. 1s.-Twenty
thousand people greeted William ].
Bryan and the candidates upon the
Democratic state ticket at Churchill
Downs this afternoon, the occasion be-
ing the hrst demonstration by local
Democrats in the state campaign now
In progress. The crowd was filled with
enthusiasm and satiated with barbecued
meat and burgOo. It fed upon oratory
by the state leaders, notably ex-senator
j. c. 8. Blackburn and William Goebol.
and the champion of It's cause in ma
tlonal politics, william ]. Bryan.
When Mr.. Bryan arrived at the race
track, he was greeted with loud ap-
plause. The crowd completely filled the
large grand stand, even down to the
bottom of the steps and several thou
sand people were packed and jammed
together on the ground. The speaking
stand was Immediately in front Q the
grand stand. 1t was a sea OF humanity
that the speakers faced. The Chicago
Democrats were seated in the center Of
the grand stand.
Mr.. Bryan began by reading letter
from John Young Brown. which had
been handed him on his arrival in the
city
The letter cited the statements con-
cernIng the agreement of Goebel and
Stone, by which they were to combine
their forces for the purpose of securing
the organization of the Louisville con-
ventIon and asked whether after over
800 men were placed in the convention
instead of the delegates selected" the
convention could give Goebel the noml-
nation of the party He also asked
whether such a contract was not fraud
ulent.
Governor Brown further asked
whether a chairman had the right to
deny an appeal; whether armed police
in the convention was not menace
to free government; whether Bryan was
in favor of the GOebel election law and
lastly whether Bryan had any plea save
that of political expedtency to Justify
submission.
Mr.. Bryan said on the subject Of the
letter: "I want to say that 1 did net
come to sit in Judgment on any con-
ventIon. 1 did not come to discuss the
details OF an election law. l come TO
say, and 1 say with emphasis. that II
there was anything done in that con-
ventlon that Democrat does not think
ought to have been done, ask of that
Democrat what hts remedy is. Is 1t to
elect a Republican governor and Re-
publican officials? The man who tries
to cut Democratic convention by
electing a Republican governor as
sumes responsibility for all that COVER.
nor does after he has been elected"
Mr.. Bryan then urged his hearers to
support the regular nominees of the
Democratic convention. saying that
convention not only reafirmed the de-
clarations of the Chicago platform but
defined the attitude of the party on the
Issues that have arisen since 1896. The
survival of these principles he declared
to be of more Importance than the ques-
tlon of candidates.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Oct. 1s.-The
American Manufacturer and Iron
World will say In the morning:
The export machinery trade is at

present II Is practically In better
shape than the home trade. Manufac-
tureTs Of finished material, better
known us the finishing mills. have sold
their entire output for the first three
months OF 1900. Orders are being book
ed for the second half Of next year. A
number OF sales OF small lots OF Besse-
mer pig Iron were made during the
week at $24 75 per ton. Pittsburgh, for
early delivery. There was little to be
had on the market. Rods were quoted
last week by the American Steel 6
Wire Company Mt S4s per ton This
week the quotation was returned to
S4j per ton, where It had been previous
ly. There IL some mystery about this,
MS the export demand for wire and nails
Is inTge and nil the mills Of the big con-
Germs nre running, II Is thought that
the object in lowering the price Is to
placGte the woven wire fence makers,
who are on the war path because Of
high prices and are threatening to
erect their own rod mills. Ferro man
ganese has been advanced from 500 to
fl25 per ton for small lots, large guam
titles, however can still be bought for
500.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-A half hour
before sunset to-day the Shamrock lay
inside Sandy Hook gently tugglng at
her mooring buoy. An eighth of mile
away the Columbia lay idly rocking on
the ripple within the Horseshoe. On
board she Shamrock there was activity.
Her crew wns completing the adtuet-
ment OF shrouds and stays to secure
the new top mast that had been sent up
at noon TO replace the one carried away
yesterday. On board the Columbia there
was no activity. All were at ease. The
crew sat on deck, where everything
was in readiness for to-morrow's event.
Captain Barr leaned against the sllds
Of the companion way and smoked.
Meanwhile he gazed across the water,
watching the progress Of preparation
on the disabled opponent Conditions
aboard the American craft indicated
calm anticipation and serene conh-
dence. The stress Of preparation aboard
the British yacht well marked the ma
tlonal anxiety there as to the perform
ance of the untried spar and the entire
craft in to-morrow's weather.
Sir Thomas Upton went out on the
Erin to bid Lord Beresf0rd and other
friends sailing on the Oceanic to-day
good-by. A little sloop sailed by within
hRilIng distance. Three men thereon
each held aloft a mug Of beer ana

SERIOUS
FIGHTING
EXPECTED
To Take Place in the Vicinity Of
Ladysmith To-day Between
the Beers and Britons.
ADVANCE OF TRANSYAALERS
Executed with c Considerable skill.
Col. Powell Said to be Hold
ing His own at Mafeking.

LONDON, oct. 1s.-There ls still no
authentic news from Matelkipg, but all
reports tend to confirm the belief that
Colonel Baden Powell is holding his
own, and no credit Is given TO the vague
rumor that dag of truce had been
displayed.
A considerable engagement Is anticl-
pated in the vicinity OF Ladysmtth to-
day. The combined advance of Beers
aud Free State troops in this direction
has been executed with no lncOnsidera'
BILE skill and shows clear appreciation
Of the British position. General Sir
George Stewart White has 1900 men
and forty-slx guns available, besides a
considerable force Of volunteers to hold
Ladysmlth, and no anxiety is felt on
his account. for the Natal country,
where the engagement is expected, Is
fairly open, and although the work Of
moving them will be difficult, the gums
are likely to do good work.
The country is not favorable for Boer
tactics and It viii be very difficult to
them to avoid the exposure of their
fianEs to attack by a vigorous and mo-
bile enemy already occupying useful
positions that is. supposlng they really
F1ean to fight and not merely to at

General White has large body Of ex-
