BRYAN A CERTAINTY.

Fort Worth-A letter has been re-
ceived by DR.. G. M. Roeeer of Dallas
county from Senator B. R. Tillman OF
South Carolina, which reads:
"From my study Of the situation as
took it in at the recent meeting Of the
Democratic National committee in Chi
cago think Bryan's denomination upon
the platform of 1896 is certainty OF
course, strong planks regarding expan-
sion, Imperialism and trusts will be in
serted. The Philippine war will drive
hundreds OF men who in 1896 supported
Mckinley, to our standard. Nothing
can prevent McKinley's defeat, in my
opinion, except complete pacificatiou
of the Philippine islands, and this deem
impossible"

Our esteemed fellow citizen. United
States Minister Charles Burdett Hart,
is being treated to the spectacle of one
of the fiercest revolutions that ever
afflicted South American republic.
Venezuela's internal discussions were
quite bloody enough for these FREE
quent periodical ructions, but the
affair that is now on in the United
States Of Colombia has proven to be
more sanguinary than any so far. 1t
will be an interesting experience for
our minister, who, though far re-
moved from the madding crowds
ignoble strife, will have many oppor-
tunities to display his abilities as d
diplomat. and those who know him
will have 40 fear Jul vnat he viii
give a good account Of himself.
As an indication Of the sangninary
character Of the contest now going on
there, in recent battle between the
government troops and the revolution
lists, fought near the capital of the de-
partment of Santandar, 10, 900 soldiers
on each side were engaged. The
sbIuSSlc idSbed wv way ., GHe BoEeIn-
ment troops finally coming out victor
ious. In this engagement ], 900 rebels
were killed and 1000 were wounded.
This fearful mortality shows that
there must have been most desperate
fighting. There have also been sever
al naval engagements in which the
government was the victor. The
most notable one was on the Magdel-
ena river in which two government
steamers sunk one rebel vessel and
captured four others. Two hundred
revolutionists were shot or drowned.
In spite Of these reverses the revolu-
tion does not appear to have been sem
sibly crippled. Wheeling Intelligen-
Ger.

Twentieth Century Offering Of Morgan
town.

DR. Leech writes TO the M. e.
Times of the twentieth century offer
ing as follows:
1--WE determined, at Morgantown,
that our Twentieth Century Offering
should largely be the proper financial
equipment of the church for better
work and greater usefulness. In this
undertaking the following has been
recently accomplished. A mortgage
of eight hundred dollars on the par
sonage property has been paid. About
seven hundred dollars of other indebt-
edness has been cancelled. The ex-
terror of the church is being placed in
first class condition. The auditorium
and Sunday school departments have
been made beautiful. These improve
ments on the editice will aggregate an
expenditure of six or seven hundred
dollars. A new organ costing two
thousand dollars has been placed IN
the auditorium. All of this has been
done without mourning any indebted
ness and within three weeks we hope
to pay the final dollar on these i'm
provements. The entire church prop
erty is free from debt and in splendid
condition. The conference benevo-
lences were the largest in the history
of the church. Almost weekly some
new member or members unite with
US, and the congregation and school
are full. We wish we had the money
to build such church as the seat of
the State University should have.
DR.. Cameron merits and receives
the gratitude of our people for his
heroic and successful efforts in giving
to Morgantown Methodism its mag
nificent parsonage, residence OF
which any Bishop of the church might
be proud were it his private home.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The War De-
partment definitely located Aguinaldo to-
day as on his way TO the town of Boam-
bang about seventy-five miles northeast of
Tarlac The recent calculations have been
that the insurgent leader was in the town
of Bayambang, not far from Tarlac, in
which case the several forces under Cen
erals Macarthur, Lawton, Young and
Wheaton would have had him practically
surrounded.
There has been some doubt, however,
as to the name Bayambang and to-day this
was cleared up by definite information
fixing Boambang instead of Bayambang
dispatch from General Otis mentioned
Boambang, and at the same time reliable
information came through other channels
that Lieutenant Gilmore and other
American prisoners were a Boambang, in
the mountains far to the northeast of
Tarlac.
1t is expected that the insurgent capital
forts of the American military forces will
be directed toward that point. 1t is In
the mountainous country of the north,
and apparently out of the fertile and
populous regions where Aguinaldo thus
far has conducted his operations. 1t is
way of only one route, along a river
which is a branch of the Rio Grande.
This leaves the rebel leader little or no
opportunity of communicating with the
coast or getting in supplies He has also
left the railroad behind.
1t is said al the War Department that
the columns of General Young and Gen
eraI Wheaton will push on to the north
following up the insurgent leader and his
scattered forces

BY TWO MASKED MEN
Forced Him to Place All His Ready
Cash in a Sack and Drove


COFELO. Nov. 9.-News was brought to
of the Overland Stage Company OF a bold
hold-up at Usal, forty miles southeast
of here. Michael Freitag, wealthy sa-
loon keeper Of Usal. was banQueting with
d number of his friends when two strang-
ers drove up. They alighted and walked
up to the bar as If wishing refreshments.
F'reitag stepped in from an adjoining
room 10 wait upon them, when he noticed
to his dsmay that they were masked In
a mufflcd voice one demanded his cash
and emphasized the request by covering
him with a revolver The other desperate
man covered the door of the poker and
banquet room, terrifying the guests with
the careless maneuVers of his pistol.
Freitag was stunned by the unusual oc-
cuTence but was brought to his senses by
the stern command to be quick about pill
ing up the cash.
To hurry him up the robber shot at the
defensoless man. slightly wounding him
in the left arm. This had the desired eff
feet Of making Freitag place all the avail
able cash in the drawer and on the poker
tables In a sack which was handed to him
by one Of the highwaymen. They then
cautiously withdrew, backing away to-
ward the door and to their buggy and
drove off at a keen clip. The officers OF
Csal Westport and Laytonville are in
pursuit headed by Deputy Sheriff Steven

The highwaymen are reported headed

HOTEL NYMPH|
IN FAVOR WITH
THE GRAND JURY
Believe 1t Should Re
main Open.

The Hotel Nymphia is to receive a
favorable report from the Grand Jury.
During a long session held yesterday one
of the subjects discussed was the notori-
Gus resort and 1t was the consensus of
opinion among the jurors that it was a
necessary evil The decision reached was
to appoint d committee Of jurymen, who
will be instructed to invite a number of
business men and liberal clergy to CO.
operate with it and thoroughly inspect
the place,
There is no dispute among the jurymen
as TO the nature of the report that will
be made All agree that the recommends
ton will be that the place should be al
lowed to continue with certain restrtc-
lions. 1t will also be suggested by the
jury that the. city levy, a tax on the
resort being conducted under rules framed
by the authorities.
Another matter that was under con-
sideration was the bringing Of an indict-
ment against Oscar Newhaus on a charge
of forgery made by F. Wiltsee, the mil
lionaire mining man. While the evidence
taken by the jury was positive in its ma
ture it was impossible to get a sufficient
number of the jurymen to vote in favor
of bringing a true bill against the ac-
Cused. But eleven of the members ex-
pressed the belief that Newhaus was
guilty, while 1t takes at least twelve to
decide In favor of indictng. 1t Is openly
charged that some undue influence has
been brought to bear in the case.
The school board scandal was not taken
up at yesterdays meeting, but will be
considered at next Thursdays session. A
majority of the jurors are in favor of in
dieting the School Directors who have
been accused of crookedness but it is
feared that the same men who voted to
save Newhaus Will allow their sYnpa thies
to go out to the office-holders who are at

NOT TO BLAME FOR
THE CHILD'S DEATH
Gripman Beggs Exonerated-Testi-
mony Showed He Could Not Stop
the Car in Time.

Gripman William Beggs of the Howard
street car line was exonerated yesterday
by the Coroner's jury from all blame in
connection with the death of Lizzie Dun
ngan. the 17-months-old daughter of
John Dunnigan of 9211a Howard street.
The little girl was damned under the
fender of the car last Saturday in front
of the store kept by her mother.
The Dunnigan children were in the habit
of playing in the street, according to the
statements of the witnesses. The little
girl got on the track so close to the car
that the gripnan was unable to stop it
until the child had been pushed under
the fender.
Gripman Beggs testified that he mad
been working for the past ten years as
gripman and that he does not use intOXf-
eating liquor. On the 18th of last March
q child belonging to the same family ran
on the track in front of the car, and he
stopped the car in time to prevent any
injury to the little one. Last Saturday he
noticed that children were playing in the
street in front of Mrs Dunnigan's store.
He saw the deceased about twenty feet
from the car and about seven feet from
the track. running toward the track.
He was ringing the bell at the time to
warn the other children, and as soon as
he saw Lizzie he put on the brakes with
all his force, but the rails were slippery
with the mud and the rain and the car
did not stop until the child had been
struck by the fender.

BY JOHN WILLIAM PERRIN, PHI

BY JOHN WILLIAM PERRIN. PH.D.
Gouverneur Morris was one of the most
remarkable and admirable men of reVo-
lutionary tines. If we except BENJAMIN
Franklin, who really belonged to pre-
ceding generation, none of his contempo-
raries possessed so many rare qualities
He was a distinguished statesman, bril-
liant lawyer. an able fnanCier, an orator
of great eloquence, g philosopher and "a
fine gentleman, who had sharp wit and
a keen sense of humor.'' He delighted in
the study of men, and in his intercourse
with them was always self-pOssessed. He
himself has said that he never knew the
sensation of fear, inferiority or emhar-
rassment." He was self-confident in his
opinions yet James Madison tells US that
he was ever ready to surrender them
when discussion convinced him that they
had been too hastily formed.
Mr. Morris was born in 1852 at Morris

was carefully educated and graduated With
honor at Kings now Columbia) College

mitted to the bar in III. His political
