Bryan at Stockton.

STOCKTON, Aug. 30.-A crowd which
numbered close to 300 gathered at the
Sacramento street depot this evening
to watch the arrival and departure of
William J. Bryan, the silver hope of the
Democracy in 1900. Mr.. Bryan, with
his family, is on his way to the Yose-
mite Valley to spend a week before Wis
iting San Francisco and speaking to
her people. He acknowledged the in
vitation of Stockton to speak here, but
declined, as his dates were filled. In
the brief time that the train stopped
at the depot he was introduced, and in
his short talk declared that the Chicago
platform would be the creed of Dem
ocracy for a generation at least. 1t
was not made to be changed but might
be added to somewhat. He started to
talk on trusts as the train moved out
of the depot.

VANCOUVER B. C.), Aug. 3O.-Mail
advices brought by the steamer En-
press OF China contain a rough trans
lation of the letter recently sent by the
Empress Dowager of China to the En-
peror of Japan. on the proposed alli-
ance between the two countries.
The letter said the writer was in
great difficulties. European powers
were pressing for a portion of the en-
pire. England, France, Germany, and
last Of all Italy had presented de-
mands, and the Empress did not know
what to do to satisfy these greedy
dogs"
England was the worst of all, for
she had not disguised her longings for
the Yang Use Valley and had even set
on Italy to claim Fuhkien. But she
had done more: she had attempted to
Illustrate her (the Empress) relations
with Russia, and was openly protesting
against her advancing her railways in
North China Such indignities were in
sufferable, and she had therefore ad-
dressed herself to her good friend the
Emperor Of Japan for succorl in her dis
tress.
Promises of subsidies. of appointing
Japanese to command the fleet and
armies of freedom of trade to japanese
ships and merchants, accompanied this
epistle, and finally Japan was invited
to enter into an alliance, offensive and
| defensive, to get rid of these danger
Gus enemies.
A treaty of commerce and navigation
recently signed between Japan and

JACKIEs OF THE BOSTON.
Given a Reception at San Fran
cisco Last Night.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3O.-The
theaters of this city We're tonight
turned over to the sailors Of the cruiser
Boston and to the soldiers of the re-
turned California Regiment and the
California Heavy Artillery. The men

the principal theaters.
The Boston arrived in the harbor to-
day from Mare Island, where she went
yesterday previous to the receipt of a
telegram in this city ordering her to

This evening the jackies were landed
and headed by large band and a
mounted escort of police, marched; up
Market street. The same brilliant cleo
trio display which greeted the Cali
fornians on their return lighted up
Market street tonight, and the sailors
marched under a veritable canopy Of
incandescents. Great crowds thronged
both sides of the street, and the men
were given a fine welcome.
The battalions of the Idaho. Wvonl-
ing and North Dakota Volunteer Regi-
ments, which arrived on board the
United States transport Grant last
night from Manila, were welcomed
home by Governors Steuenberg of
Idaho and Governor Richards of wy

tive citizens of their respective States

bay to-day, but We're not allowed to
disembark, owing to the lateness of the
hour at which the quarantine inspec-
ton was concluded. They will, how
ever, disembark tomorrow morning,
