He Would Retaliate.

DETROIT, Mich, July %. Straight
cent fares were inaugurated on the
old street railway lines, excepting
during the morning and evening
hours, in which ''workingmen's"
tickets are sold at eight for quarter.
The universal transfer privilege be-
tween all lines of all companies,
which began during the Scent re-
gime, still continues An effect of
the raise was to divert travel to the
newer lines, operated under an eight
fora quarter franchise. Mayor May
bury, who is highly indignant at the
raising of fares has called a special
meeting of the city council to retail
late by prohibiting carriage of freight
over the lines; by pushing test Of
the legality of combinations of the
companies when prohibited by their
ordinances, and in other ways to re-
strict the companies privileges.

veloped at the meeting of the Demo-

and the men who made such belliger-

good. Not single warlike note was
sounded, and no defiances were ut

that so to 1" shall be the rallying
cry in the next campaign, or by those
who oppose its adoption.
The fight against p. j. Devlin, edi-

by him as an officer of the national

OTIS SIDE OF 1T.
The War Department Issues Statement
Replying to tho Round Robin"

I
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The War
department has issued state.
ment quoting certain dispatches
from General Otis in answer to the
press cores pondents round robin. "
The general says in substance that
the correspondents want to send state
mcnts that imperil operations; that
they had no specifications to support
their charges against him and that
the charges are untrue. He denies
that he minimizes the work of the
navy and quotes from naval dispatches
to Justify the statement.
General Otis says he is not con-
scious of sending Misrepresentation,
but thinks that his dispatches at all
times have been too conservative. The
press affair appeared TO be threat
When correspondents were asked to
be informed wherein General Otis
dispatches were misleading they Of
fered nothing tangible except that his
conclusions were unwarranted. When
told that they were disregarding mill
tary authority, it was apparent that
they courted martyrdom which it was
unwise to give them,
He gives the following extract from
a letter just received from leading
Filipino at Tarlac, which is the center
of the main insurgent army:
For some days have been trying to
leave this band of thieves. Watched
SO closely, impossible to leave. A
great many of the people here long
for American troops to advance, for
every one is desperate with so much
savagery committed by Agunaldo's
army"
Captain Barker of the navy, who
succeeded Admiral Dewey in COM
mand of the fleet, in sending the re-
port of the commander of the York
town to the Navy department, makes
this Endorsement
81 am pleased to note the cordial
cooperation of army and navy. AS
bearing upon the statement that tho
operations IF the navy had been min
imized, it may be stated that General
Otis has repeatedly recognized the
work of the navy, as for example
in his dispatch of June Is last, in
which he says: The navy aided
greatly on shore of bay landing forces
occasionally and again under date of
July o: The army and navy are in
hearty accord, and the best of feeling
prevails.

BIG AUDITORIUM MEETING.
Altgeld and Bryan Receive Warm We'll
come In Chicago.

CHICAGO, July %. -Four thousand
people crowded into the Auditorium,
despite the sweltering heat, to attend
the political meeting given under the
auspices of the Chicago platform Dem
ocrats. 1t was from first to last a
silver meeting, an Altgeld meeting,
an antitrust and anti-eXpansion meet
ing. All of the speakers declared in
favor of 1G to and against the war
in the Philippine islands.
About onc-half Of the members of
The national committee occupied seats
on the platform, the balance of them
failing to put in an appearance.
The speech of Mr.. Bryan evoked
great enthusiasm among his hearers,
especially when he declared that the
American government should pursue
in Luzon the same policy as was pur-
sued in Cuba The Philippines, he
said, came into our hands by accident
of war and, being there, they should
have been treated on American prin-
ciples and not on those practiced by
European governments. The policy
of the United States, he claimed,
should have been to create republic
in the Philippines and say to all the
world, "hands off and let the repub-
lie live" His audience was in SYM
pathy with his suggestions regarding
the Philippines, and punctuated his
speech with cheers
His declaration that he felt embar-
raised about speaking in Chicago be-
cause of the split in the local Democ-
racy, and that it was not his business
to employ the secret service to see
who was the frmest Democrat, pro-
vol1ed a little opposition among the
staunch adherents of Mr.. Altgeld, but
his assertion that 'all Chicago Demo-
Gratis look alike to me" put them right
again, and from first to last his speech
was most enthus iastically received.
