sitlon to It has my hearty sympathy
and approval
Mr.. Bryan said that he was fully in
sympathy with every effort put forth
to save the nation from the dangers

"The purposes Of the meeting have
my hearty approval. and | should be
glad If | had time to say how strongly
l feel that the policy OF Imperialism or
expansion, in any such sense as pro-
posed at present, threatens equally the
moral integrity Of the nation and the
conditions on which Its prosperity has
hitherto rested"

Heavy Loss of L,re In Greece.

Greece yesterday are coming in slowly
1t is believed, however, that there has
been considerable loss of life, as it Is
known that whole towns have been
RACED and that the west coast has been
swept by tidal waves.

beyond question that the commission
will have 10 executive powers: 1t will
be an advisory council In the fun sense
Of the term. although two of the mem
bers Admiral Dewey and General
Otis. may carry out policies laid down
by the commission in their own single
executive capacity rs military and
naval commanders. There appears TO
be n confidence entertained at the War
Department that the status quo can he

arrival of this commission. II belief
probably based on the character of the

World from Washington says:
General Miller's expedition has land
ed on Guimaras island, three miles
from Iloilo. without opposition, Gen
eral Otis cables from Manila.
Landing was necessary because Of
the crowded condition of troops on the
transports. Experience has proved
that soldiers lose spirit ana fighting
qualities when long on board ship, so
the War Department asked General
Otis to ascertain if it was possible for
General Miller TO land his expedition
near Iloilo. He cabled that it was and
was then instructed TO order landing
1t was deemed inadvisablc to advise
this expedition to return TO Manila
without having landed. because it was
feared the natives of Luzon would
think the filipinos at Iloilo had re-
pulsed the Americans.
The Presidents policy of paciflca-
tion will be continued. and no attempt
to land mt llOlo will he made at pres
cnt. The island on which the men
have landed is healthy and has an
abundance, of water.

London cables have ascribed the rise
to expectations that the lately organized
smelter trust is likely to raise the price
of silver arbitrarily. This was ridiculed
by all silver dealers today and they point
ed out that any such action by the smelt-
ing combination would be equivalent to
binding up the price of their own raw
material.
The smelters were, in fact, taken con-
siderably off their guard by this weeks

as very uncertain; impossible to fore

feast in the Kenyon dining room

seemed to enter into the spirit of the

broken dishes, shipped glasses and
other dainties tossed jovially toward

have eaten embalmed beef if it had
formed part of the menu, just to show
what thoroughly dear old college
