Important Resolutions Adopted
 Yesterday.
STATEHOOD RECOMMENDED
A Resolution FaVoring the UnCOD- dTfionaI CGSSiOn of Million Acres of the Arid Lands to inc States and TerriforieS-Anofh Invoking Federal Aid in Their Reclamation.

Wichita, Kan, June 2.-The trans Mississippi delesates were treated to 2 regular Kansas soaker this morning. The rain fell in torrents and the opening exercises were very thinly at tended By a rising vote the dela- gates adopted a resolution asking the government to extend a1can of $5,000, 900 to the St. Louis worlds fair.
 At the afternoon session there was a larger attendance and final action was taken on matters which had been under discussion during the two pre- ceding days of the congress. The most important was a resolution recon mending the cession of the arid lands to the states and territories in which they lie. Governor N. o. Murphy of Arizona was the strongest advocate of this resolution, urging that such cession was the only manner in which the government could aid in the rec Iamation of those lands. There was no opposition to the resolution except that some of the delegates believed it would be better to ask direct aid from the federal government in the form of appropriations.
 Others proposed a recommendation extending the provisions of the Care< act to territories. The original resp lution, however, fer the unconditional cession of a million acres to the states and territories was adopted. There was also the adoption of a resolution favoring federal aid in the reclamation of the lands. The con- gress adopted a strong resolution recommending the territories for ad mission.

Louisville, Ky, June 2.-The formal visit of William Jennings Bryan to Louisville under the auspices of the Ohio Valley BimetaEic league, was reserved fer today, though he attend ed Wednesday nights banquet to Judge Tarvin. MT. Bryan reached Louisville at 1925 o'clock this afte-- noon. He was escorted to the audi torium, where he spoke to an immense audience. He said in part:
 "The democratic party adopted at Chicago a platform which applied democratic principles to the conditions then existing. The conditions exist ing today require the application of same principles. No questions brought to the attention of the people by the last campaign have been settled since the close of that campaign.
 'The republican Earty in the next campaign must declare either for the geld standard or for the restoration Of bimetallism. If it declares for the geld standard, it must defend the prin- ciple Of gold monometallism which it refused to do in 1S96 If it declares for bimetallism, it must either favor in dependent bimetallism as the demo- cratic party did in the campaign of 1896, or it must make another attempt to delude the people by a promise Of foreign aid.
 "The Ohio Valley Bimetallic league which is holding it's third annual con vention in this city at this time, has adopted resolutions declaring that the contest for independent bimetallism at ratio of 16 to 1 must be continued am in hearty sympathy with this de- termination.
 ''To demand the restoration of bi- metallism does not mean that there are no other issues before the people, but it means that issue cannot be laid aside or surrendered until the financial pclicy of the American people is determined by the American people themselves without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation

 to warn the postmaster general that he must not do the same thing again. But liberal increases were allowed for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900. It is now said on high authority that congress will be asked at the next ses- sion to enlarge the appropriation for this purpose and for the salaries of postmasters
 The business of the country is stead fly and, it would appear from these facts, rapidly growing in volume.
