Cincinnati. Ohio, January 6.-The
Duckworth Club, of Cincinnati, gave
its annual banquet tonight. The date
was early, so as to have Colonel w.
j. Bryan present, as he responds to g.
toast at the Jackson banquet in Chi
cago tomorrow night. This club has
given many notable oanquets, but the
one tonight was the most distinguished
in its history, because Of the presence
of Colonel Bryan. Democratic leaders
from all over the State held conferences
with him during the cay. joining in the
large reception given Colonel Bryan at
the Chamber of Commerce at noon.
over 400 plates were turned at the Glib
son House tonight. and the decorations
were elaborate. Colonel Bryan was re-
ceived with storm OF applause.
COLONEL BRYAN'S SPEECH.
After discussing the Chicago platform
and emphasizing the sixteen to one
plank, Colonel Bryan took up the new
questions that have grown out of the
war. He called attention to the Pres
ident's recommendation OF a larger
army. and insisted that the army
should be divided into two branches
the army for domestic use III the United
states. which.he said. did not need to be
increased, and the army of occupation.
which is temporarily necessary for use
outside of the United States. He said
that the army of occupation should be
recruited at once, in order to relieve
the volunteers, but that the term of SER
l,.
TONS policy is not yet settled. He sug-
sested that the demand for an increase
In the army might be considered as tho
ilrst fruit of that victory TO which the
republicans pointed with so much pride
last November.

QUESTION OF ANNEXATION.

Turning to the question of annexation
he insisted that the nation has not vet
decided what to do with the Philippine
isiands. lie spoke, in part as follows:
The sentiment of the people upon
any great question must be measured
during the days of elaboration and not
curing the hours of excitement. A good

in us still in spite of our civilizing pro-
cesses. 1t is not unnatural that our
people should be more sanguinary inn

before, but 1t is only a question of time
when reelection will restore the condi-
lions which existed before this nation
became engaged in the war with Spain.

GOLD MINE A DREAM.
Ohio Railroad Man Will Seek Wealth
Mysteriously Shown Him.

Youngstown, o, March 1.-E. E. Bal
com, agent of the Pittsburg and west
ern railroad at Wayland, will resign his
position and go to Montana to prospect
for gold. in pursuance of dream he had
in which fabulous amounts of the yellow
metal were spread out in view.
Balloon, after a hard days work, retired
and dreamed that he was taken by a
guide to the top of a mountain range in
Montana, near the border line of British
Columbia. The sun was just rising and
his guide pointed to a certain spot which
was literally covered with gold.
The dream so impressed Balloon that the
next day he drew a map giving the noun
tsins, valleys and rivers as they appeared
TO him and the spot where. he had seen the
gold.
Balloon has never been in Montana and
knows practically nothing of its surface.
yet the map is a perfect reproduction of
that section and is pronounced correct by
experts who have prOspected there.
Balloon has taken carbon copies of the
map and one is in the possession of an
officer of the Pittsburg and Western rail-
road here.
AS soon as Balloon can arrange his af-
fairs he will leave for Montana and he ex-
poets to make rich strike.

AGED COUPLES DEVOTION.
Gould Not Bear Separation and Were
Found Starving.

New York, March 1.-William Patton,
rs years old, and his wife, Catherine, 20
years old, were taken to Bellevue hos
pital from their room, at No. 22S West
Eighteenth street, last evening suffering
from starvation. The old couple have
been supported by the st. Vincent de
Paul society for several years.
They were too weak to go to the
rooms of the society for their regular
ticket for food last Thursday and were
in a frightful condition when found by
neighborS. At the hospital it was said
their recovery is doubtful.
After their cases had been diagnosed
by the hospital physicians, Mr.. Patton
was sent to ward No. IL and Mrs. Pat
ton to ward No. IS. At this Mrs. Pat
ton appealed to the physicians not to
separate them. She said she knew they
could not live long and that they want
ed to be together. She said that they
would have gone to an institution long
ago If it had not been that they could
not bear separation.
1t is against the rules of the hospital,
however, to place male and female
patients in the same ward, and the old
woman's request could not be granted.
They were placed in wards on opposite
sides of the hall, where they can COM
municate with each other freely.
Mrs. Patton said she had son some
where in the west, but repeated efforts
to find him had failed.

Mrs. Mckinley also sued. the American

Mrs. Mckinley has filed a suit in a jus.

the clock. The justice informed her that
she owed the court so in fees, and that
she would have to make monthly pay
mentS on the timepiece to the wringer
company. Mrs. Mckinley will take the
matter into higher court.
Although jury has given her the pos

until she has paid sum three times it's

the timepiece, she says, if it costs her

So Says the Jury in the Jesse
James Case.
Is Unanimous For Acquittal on
First Ballot.
ABOUT AN HOUR OUT.
Did Not Credit the Story of
COnfessor Lowe.
Demonstration of Approval in
the Courtroom.

Kansas City, March 1.-Young Jesse
James, son of the notorious bandit,
whose name he bears, was last night
adjudged not guilty of completely in the
robbery of a Missouri Pacific express
train at Leeds, in the outskirts of Kan
sas City. The robbery which the police
accuse young James of leading, was
committed on September 23 last, and
was the last Of numerous train rob
berries in outskirts of Kansas City.
The jury was out less than an hour
reached on the first ballot. The court
room was packed with friends of young
James, among them being his uncle,
Frank James. of ST. Louis, and the
announcement of the verdict was the
signal for applause and cheering that
neither judge nor bailiffs could sup
press.
In returning their verdict. of acquittal
the jury was compelled to diScredit en-
tirely the confession of Witness w. w.
Lowe, who admitted being a member
Of the band and who described the rob-
berry in every detail, duplicating as his
accomplish young James, Andy Ryan,
Evans" alias Bill Ryan, and several
others. After returning the verdict
members of the jury said they could
not accept the Lowe confession or the
theory of the police, adding that the
police located James in too many places
in very brief time, and that they
could not believe that q, youth of his
years could take such a part in a train
robbery as the police charged and ap-
pear in so many different places in less
than an hour. The police were unable
to show that James was away from his
home in Kansas City a full hour on the
night of the robbery, and witnesses for
the defense made this time much
briefer, Mrs. Samuels, the defendants
aged grandmother, even testifying that
Jesse was sitting on the porch with her
when the robbers exploded the dyna-
mite that wrecked the safes, and that
they heard the explosion.

HANNA IS CLEARED
Of Bribery Charges By a Majority of
the q. S. Senate Committee.

Washington, March 1.-Senator Chand-
Ter from the committee on privileges
and elections has presented to the SEN
ate the report of that committee on the
charges of bribery in the election to the
senate of M. A. Hanna as made by the
Ohio senate. The report sets out that
no direct remonstrance setting out that
Mr. Hanna was not elected ought to
be expelled from the senate has been
received by the senate. He also shows
that no one has appeared before the
committee and that no papers have
been received beyond the formal report
Of the action of the state senate. Not
withstanding these failures the COM
mittee has investigated the charges.
1t finds that there is no proof submit
ted either that % MI. Hanna was elect
ed through bribery, or 90 that he had
any agents engaged in carrying on his
canvass for the senate who were direct
ly or implicitly authorized by him to
resort to corrupt methods or to any
form of wrong doing; or 90 that he had
any personal knowledge of the facts
of this case. 1t may be said that there
is no evidence which fairly tends to
prove either of the foregoing three pro-
positions. In view of these facts the
committee on privileges and elections
have reached the conclusion that 1.-The
United States senate is not called to
take any action in the premises
A minority report signed by Senators
Turley, PettuS and Caffery was pre-
scented by Senator Turley. This report
igatiOn should be made and enters quite
fully into the statement of the case pre-
scented by the Ohio senate. The minori-
ity contend that the attempt on the
part of Boyce to buy Otis vote for Mr..
Hanna is clearly proven. Seventeen
hundred and fifty dollars, the report
continues was paid in cash by Boyce to
Campbell as attorney for Otis. Boyce
agreed to pay $1,750 more when Otis
reached Columbus and a balance of &c.
500 if Hanna was elected.
They claim that it is shown that
Hannas managers, Dick and Rathbone,
were at the Neil House in Columbus
where Hanna had his headquarters and
they repeat the details of Boyces con-
versations with them over the telephone
from the Gibson House, in Cincinnati,
as overheard by clerks of the Gibson.
''It was in their Interviews the mi
nority say, that the terms for pur-
chase of Otis vote were finally agreed
upon between Boyce and Campbell"
The minority report deals at length
with the conversations over the tele-
phone, giving full extracts from the
testimony before the committee of the
Ohio senate as to what was said in
these conversations. They also say that
there was other evidence to show the
intimate relations between Boyce and
Hanna's managers, but they conclude
that to quote it would carry the report
to unnecessary length.
The minority then say:
1--WE think the evidence to which we
have already referred, standing as it
does, uucontradicted and unexplained,
shows that certain of Mr.. Hanna's
