Conference.
Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE exciting de-
bate looked for last night between w.
j. Bryan and Bourke Cochran on
trusts did not take place. Central
thusiastic audience. but the people
without the oratory of the famous
Nebraskan. who. however, occupied Il
seat on the platform. Mr.. Bryan
reached the city early in the evening.
He went direct to room upstairs,
where he was greeted by Chairman
Franklin Head. Congressman Gaines,
Ralph NJ. EaSley and other members
of the programme committee of the
Civic Federation conference on trusts.
Mr.. Bryan surprised the committee by
declining to speak at the night session
with Beurke Cochran, in accordance
with the programme previously ar
ranged. Mr.. Bryan explained that he
did not wish to let the impression go
out that he was to enter into debate
with Mr.. Cochran. For that reason
he said he would not speak with Mr..
Cochran at the same session. The
programme was then changed to meet
Mr.. Bryan'S wishes. Mr.. Bryan said
he Was anxious to address the ronfels
ence, and repeated that his only
reason for changing the programme
was to avoid any indication of a pub
lie debate With Mr.. Cochran. Mr..
Bryan will speak at to-day's session.
While disappointed at not seeing Mr..
Bryan and MI Cochran pitted against
each other. the audience nevertheless
enjoyed 4 rare treat. as Mr.. Cochran
was at his best, and the speech was
punctrred with frequent and pro-
longed applause. When Mr.. Bryan
made his appearance at the entrance
it was the signal for tumultuous
cheering which lasted until the Ne
braskan had taken his seat on the
speakers stand. Mr.. Foulke of In
diana. who was in the middle an adj
dress when the outburSt occurred. put
tho audience in good hearing by say
ing: Il guess YOU came here tonight
to hear somebody else speak, MI.
Foulke was followed by Hon. Edward
RcSewatcr of Omaha. whose address
drew notably close attention from his
hearers.
At the close of his speech Mr.. Cock
ran won the hearts Of his listeners by
paying Mr.. Bryan Il few well chosen
compliments which the Democratic
leader blushingly acknowledged. Mr.
Cochran ljkencd Mr.. Bryan to mo-
nopOly. and claimed he was Il bigger
monopoly as the leader of the Demo-
cratic party than any of the corpora
tons in the world.
Mr.. Cochran spoke for about two
hours, and when he concluded cries for
Bryan came from all over the house.
Finally Mr.. Bryan arose and said for
the good of the conference all partisan
feelings haG been eliminated from the
gathering. and. although he agreed
with Mr.. Cochran in many of his argu-
ments. it was necessary that his side
of the controversy should be given,

Will Be Given Command Of the South
Atlantic Station.

Washington. Sept II. - Some time
ago Admiral Schley applied to the
navy department for sea service At
present he is head Of the retiring
board. Tie navy department has now
granted the request and has notified
him to hold himself in readiness to
command the South Atlantic station.
The department is about to take steps
to make the command commensurate
with his rank by increasing considera-
bly, the number of vessels on the sta
ton. The Cincinnati probably will go
there. The Detroit is already on her
way to join and the Marblehead is
likely to be attached. Altogether there
will be five or six ships on the station
when the quota is filled. 1t is said at
the department that with threatened
war in South Africa. which is part Of
the station. and the disturbed condl-
lions in South and Central America,
the South Atlantic command is likely
to become an important one in the
near future.
