who are the strongest bulwark against
the danger of any foreign alliance"

WASHINGTON, JAN 2S.-A spirited
debate was precipitated in the senate
today while the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill was under con-
sideration. The appropriations com
mittee was sharply criticised for not
providing adequate salaries for some of
the consular officers and secretaries of
legations of this government in foreign
countries and the parsimony of the
government in this respect was de-
nounced as a disgrace. Mr.. Hale (Me.)
was in charge of the bill, and despite
his protests. several amendments were
incorporated in the measure. The bill
was passed, carrying nearly s., 800 900.
Mr.. Gallinger called attention to the
starvation wages" paid to the Unit

Mr.. Hale explained that the appro-
priation committee had not considered

known as la grippe. every winter since
that disease was discovered I have

This spring I was induced to try a bot

just about empties life Of all meaning

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The following
letter from William ]. Bryan to Willis
]. Abbott, written in March. 1898, was
given out by Mr.. Abbott today. MI
Abbott explains the circumstances In
connection with 1t is follows: In
March, 1898, some of Mr.. Bryan's ad-
mirers in New York learned that he
expected to be in the East in the fol-
lowing month and would pass through
New York. They came to me, saying
q reception should be rendered him,
and that he should be asked speak L
responded that, in my opinion, the
regular Democratic organization should
be the ones to give a public reception,
and Mr.. Bryan ought not be asked to
speak under any other auspices. l
accordingly consulted Mr. Carroll, and
was by him referred to Mr.. Croker.
Mr.. Croker asked me to write to Mr..
Bryan and find out whether he would
be willing to speak in New York, but
refrain from discussion the money
question. I wrote to Mr.. Bryan accord
ingly, and received the answer which
follows. This letter 1 sent to Mr..
Croker at the Democratic club in or
. der that he might have no Illusion
concerning Mr.. Bryan's position. As
Mr.. Croker has now definitely antago-
nized the Democrats who hold to the
Chicago platform, 1t Is the BELIEF OF
many friends of Mr.. Bryan that this
letter, in which he declares that New
York Democrats should show their
hands or accept the hostility of the
members of the party in the South
and West, should be made public:
