William J. Bryan, in which he accepts
the invitation to the dinner to be given
in this city by the Chicago platform De

speech, stating the stand which he be-
lieves the Democratic party should take
in the national campaign of next year.
1t is planned to have the labor unions
take a very prominent part in the din
ner.
Eugene V. Brewster, who is manag-
ing the Bryan dinner said tonight:
Some confusion has arisen over the

first not to call it dinner of Chicago
platform Democrats, because of Cover
nor Pingree and others, who are Re
publicans. We arranged that matter
in committee all right, however, and
| sent the invitation in the name of the
| Chicago platform people.
I'VE have such financial backing that
we will be able to give a dollar dinner
such as has never been held before.

Florida, from Duluth and from Boston

Sheriff Alfred of this county today got
together a posse and left at 1 o'clock
for Green River station. AS no horses
were telegraphed for from here, as is
usually the custom, it is believed the
band must be near there. There are
with Sheriff Alfred, Ras Anderson and
j. w. Warf, both of this city, who We're
with Alfred when he went after the
Robber BOOSTERS about year ago, and
at which time Joe Walker, another
member of the gang, and Butch Cas-
sady. were killed Sheriff Alfred is fa-

Sheriff John Leamaster left Castledale
early this morning and should have ar
rived a. Green River before the officers
from this county.
OF late the outlaws have been COM
mitting depredations in Grand county
in the way of horse stealing and the
driving off of big herds of cattle, and
as the present sheriff was elected with
the understanding that he was to run
the gang down it is said by those who
know him there will be no stopping on
his part until he has run them to their
holes or brings them back dead or
alive.
Sheriff Alfred arrived at Green River
at 4:40 o'clock and as no word has been
received from him by his deputies here
it is supposed he has gone into the
mountains. Some trouble was expert
eaced by the sheriff in getting posse
together, owing to thu short time in
hich he had to get ready and to the
fact that the men who volunteered to
aid the officers in cases Of this kind are
,,nyer certain of their nav from the
board OF county commissioners.
Private messages received tonight
from Green River station would ind;-
cate that Sheriff Alfred and posse left

Grande Western train going in south
ernly direction to join the sheriffs of

they headed for the San Rafael river,
the rendezvous of he Robber Roost-
ers. This being the case it may be
several days before anything definite is
heard.

PERRY BELMoNTs POSTSCRIPT.
New York Goldbug Still Replying to
Colonel BRYAN.

New York, March 22.-Perry Belmont
has given out a postscript to his letter
to William j. Bryan, in reply to Mr..
Bryan's letter declining the invitation
to the Croker-Jefferson dinner, and
questioning Mr.. Belmont's Democracy,
owing to his opposition to the Chicago
| platform. The postscript is as follows;
In March. 1896, I protested against
| the issue of bonds, mainly to maintain
the endless cllain against legislation
destroying the existing parity between
gold dollars and silver dollars, and
against any legal tender law discharg-
ing with 50-cent dollar valid pronl-
Use to pay 100-cent gold dollars. Subse'-
quently, in a public letter, April q, 1895
to one of my neighbors on Long Island
L condemned the Sherman Mckinley
Allison currency plan, advocating pay
ment and determination of the green
back debt; that the existing Unit OF
value should be full legal tender, and
condemned all 'McKfnleyism' wherever
it showed it's head, whether in coinage.
currency, taxation or the tariff. Later
1 protested before the Democratic cluE
against the creation of any mora in

part of the public debt Although not

Democratic convention of June "a, 1896
/ united with the New York delegation
| in a protest against the Chicago plat
form and it's candidates, as set forth
in my telegram of July 10, printed III
the New York World, as follows:
THE delegation will make Z protest,
both against the platform and the can
didates nominated, of such an emphat-
ic character as to leave no doubt of the
position which the delegation occupies.
So far as l am concerned, neither the
platform nor the candidates nominated
Will be supported.
After the adoption of the platform,
against which the New York delegation
voted, it announced through its chair
man upon every subsequent vote taken
that it refused to participate in the
further proceedings of the convention,
thus leaving each delegate his complete
freedom of action.
Il attended the Indianapolis cOnven-
ton and supported Palmer and Buck-
ner. L have no warrant in asking You
opinions of what the Democracy should
do in the national convention more
than a year from now, vet YOU Will.
perhaps, in view of your DeremptOrY
demands for my opinion, permit me to
assume that you deem the money ques
ton as presented in the Chicago plat
form of 1896 as now paramount to all
others; that you insist On the inTalli-
bility of the coinage ratio CT 16 TO L as
a test of the Democracy, and that all
the Democratic votes must line
up in 1900 on a federal statute making
every contract Illegal which stipulates
for the payment in gold. 4 law to pre-
vent wage -earners and 5alary-oarrers

he battle of Manila, General King

the battle of Manila, General King
having given orders to that effect.
a letter was received here today from
Lieutenant D. L. Badley of company
A, giving a vivid account of the battle,
with particular reference to the part
played by the Idahos. He says:
General King was personally direct
ing the troops, and he would give the
order advance and halt and fire. and
it went all right for about twice, and
there the boys got the bits in their
teeth and when he gave the command,
halt and fire they fired all right, but
they did not halt, and he began to yell,
halt halt but it had no effect.
"The boys went on, firing as they
went and when he saw that they were
not going to stop, he yelled out, Go it,
then, you Idaho savages,' and he took
off his cap and whirled it over his head
and shouted, There goes the American
soldier; all hell can't stop them. Go it,
boys, you don't need me- and the smile
on his face was beautiful to see.
II want to say for King, that l never
saw a drawer man. He sat on his
horse and rode out into the battle and
back and forth under thousands of
guns Cannon balls whizzed past him;
shells exploded over him; he was in a
perfect rain of bullets, and he paid no
more attention. to them than man
would to a fly.
after the battle King came around
to see us, and the boys sprang to their
feet to salute him. He said sit down,
boys, I want to salute you, for you are
as brave men as l ever saw. You have
not only honored yourselves, but you
have honored me, and he took off his
cap as he rode by"
General King in telling of the charge
afterward, said: ''In all the annals of
history nothing has been recorded that
excels that gallant charge"
STORIES OF BRAVERY.
Among a number of stories of per-
sonal bravery, Badley tells of "Adju-
tant Roosko, who located sharp
shooter in a tree and, taking up a
Springfield rife, shot at him four times.
The native exchanged shot for shot.
The adjutant got disgusted with the
rifle, and taking out his revolver, ran
up to where he could get a better view
and at the first shot he killed his man.
1t was a foolishly brave act, but il
lustrates the spirit and bearing of the
members of the First Idaho, both Off
GERS and men.
Captain Stephenson went right into
the thickest of it and discharged his
duty as fully as any man in the army.
'I went down to the hospital to see
our wounded boys and found them
cheerful, and happy. Some with fear

KANSAS MANS CONFESSION.
Why John Moore Murdered His Five
Children

Mcpherson, Kan, March 22.-John A.
Moore, who murdered his five children
at Hutchinson and who was brought
here as a precaution against threat
ened lynching, confessed his crime to-
day before a notary public. The pris-
oner stated that he had quarreled with
his wife, and that q separation was
talked of, in which event he feared that
his children would come under the con-
troll of his wife's family, whom he dis
likes. 1t was brooding over the pros
pect of his children being reared amid
such surroundings, he deposed, that
prompted him to crush their skulls with
a hatchet, cut their throats and fire the
house in which their bodies lay.

Cubans that under the new regime
"civip' government as far as possible
under military officers and men will
obtain The word civil will not be
substituted for military because that
would appear incongruous in view Of
the authority under which the President
is operating. Nevertheless, it is the de-
sire of the President that General Wood
shall cut loose from rigid military
methods and allow the Cubans the
widest latitude possible in municipal af-
fairs. Indeed. that was his prindipal
motive in selecting General Wood for
the Governorship. The number of de-
partments in the island will probably
be reduced in month or two. so that
there will be no necessity for all the
general officers now there General Lud-
low desires. it is understood to come
home when General Wood takes com
mand.
Notwithstanding the opposition from
the line Of the army to the appoint
ment of General Wood as Major Cen
eral of Volunteers, the confirmation by
the Senate of his nomination may be
accepted as a foregone conclusion A
favorable report by the Military Com
mittee may be looked for on Tuesday,

mediately follow. General Wood will
remain in Washington until he has re-
ceived his new commission, and will
then proceed to Santiago and arrange

RossER's STORY.
Says He Did Not Intend to Shoot
Slater.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Walter Ros-
ser. who originally gave his name. to
the polise as Willis Rosser, a student
at the Post Graduate Hospital, who
shot Fred F. Slater at Madison Square
Garden last night. was arraigned in
the Police Court to-day.
The wounded mans condition was re-
ported as favorable. and on the request
held in 81 600 bail for examination on
Tuesday. He was, however, unable to
furnish bail and was locked up.
Rosser declared to-day that he had
no intention Of shooting Slater. that he
had been drinking and met two or three
students, who were guying him and
b1uffing him about betting on the bicy-
Gle contests, and that finally they
made an attack upon him. He drew
his revolver he says. and fired one shot
simply for the purpose of frightening
them away, and did not aim at Slater
or intend to shoot him.
BELIEVED TO BE ROSSER.
STEVENSON (Ala~), Dec. 10.-No
such man as Rafters is known in this
city. Walter Rosser is in New York
taking a post graduate course in medi-
cine, and 1T is generally believed here
that the party who did the shooting in
New York Is Walter Rosser, who while
attached to the hospital corps of the
First Tennessee Regiment shot a man
in San Francisco, and from which
charge he was released on a plea of
insanity.
A room mate of Rosser at 1S9 Lex
1ngton avenue, where he has lived since
he came here to attend the lectures at
the Polytechnic, said tonight that he
had never seen any signs of alteration
during his acquaintance with the
prisoner. Rosser, he said, had often
spoken to him of San Francisco and
of the First Tennessee Regiment, but
had never made any reference to any
shooting affair.
