MR.. BRYAN's VIEWS AGAIN.
Banquet at Lincoln Gives the Free Silver
Champion an Opportunity to Reiterate
His Opposition to Expansion.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 31.-A compli.
mentary reception and banquet to
Col. w. J. Bryan was rendered last
night by the Nebraska Travelling
Mems Bryan club at the Lincoln ho-
tel. Invitations were sent to $50 ad-
mirers of Mr.. Bryan. The only nota-
BILE absen tee was Congressman Bailey,
of Texas, who was to have responded
to the toast Democracy" but who
telegraphed from Washington his in
ability to be present. Mr.. Bryan re-
sponded to the sentiment: America s
Mission: Let Not the Crime of the East
Fer Crimson Thy Name; be Freedom
and Science and Virtue Thy Fame ="
After commencing the members of
the club for their fidelity to the Chi
cago platform, Mr.. Bryan proceeded
to discuss the Philippine question.
He insisted that colonial policy was
wrong in principle and unwise, and
he predicted that it would prove un-
proita BILE in practice. He said in part:
You have labored diligently to prevent for
eign financiers from disregarding the rights Of
the American people, now you are called upon
to use your influence so preveRS the American
people from disregarding the rights of others

the republic and go back century to the mon
archical motto which asserts that might makes

Imperialism finds the inspiration in dollars,
not IN duty. 1t is not our duty to burden our
people with increased taxes in order to give
few spectators an opportunity for exploita-
ton; 1t is not our duty to sacrifice the best
blood of our nation in tropical jungles in an at
tempt to Stfle the very Sentim 3ntS which have
given vitality to American institutions; it is
not our duty to deny the people of the Philip
pines the rights for which our forefathers
fought from Bunker Hill to YORKTOWN

those who are in bondage-nOt o place shaCkleS

rejoice in the marvellous victory won by Dewey
in Manila BAY: we would give to him a sacred
place in history and crown his memory with

of the feud, and between whom and
Pete there was bad feeling. Accounts
differ as to who fired the first shot. At
any rate Stewart, who was sitting in
the buggy between Pete and Steve, re-
ceived two shots, from the effects of
which he died. Steve was not hurt.
He went to Athens and gave himself
mp, claiming that he had been fired

SCHEME OF CURRENCY REFORM
HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
COMMITTEE ADOPTS PLAN.
Less Comprehensive Than Ardent Ad-
vocates of Revision Have Urged,
But Agreement Is Possible.

Washington. May 21.-It is under
stood that the house Republican caucus
committee appointed to frame a
scheme of currency reform has agreed
upon a measure along the following
lines:
The redemption of all obligations OF
the government in gold on demand.
Greenbacks, when once redeemed for
gold, to be re-issued only for gold.
Permitting national banks TO issue
notes to the paper value of their gov
eminent deposit in the treasury, in
stead of so per cent, as at present
Permitting the minimum capacity OF
national banks to be $4,000, instead OF
$1,000, as at present.
This plan is much less comprehen-
sive than ardent advocates of general
currency revision have urged, but was
adopted because harmonious agreement
on it was possible, which was not the
case when more radical measures were
suggested.
