PAWNEE, Neb., Oct. 26.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-W. ]. Bryan and G. w. Berge spoke
here tonight to a fairly large audience, al
though it was entirely lacking in the char
acterisic enthusiasm OF Mr.. Bryans au-
diences Of two years ago. Bryan drove from
Humboldt to Pawnee, arriving about $50.
The fusion reception committee failed to
make connections and the speaker found his
way to the opera house without escort. The
intended street procession was abandoned.
Bryans address was confined almost ex-
clusively to the silver and trust issues The
national administration came in for it's usual
share of criticism. Bryan appears exhausted
as the result of his hard campaign work and
did not speak with his usual vigor. Berge
spoke in denunciation of so-called imperial
ism and in defense of the state fusion ad-
ministration.

SITUATION is RATHER MIXED
English People Are In the Dark Re-
gardinE Progress of the War
in South Africa.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-The war office has re-
ceived the following dispatch from General
White:
"LADYsMITH. Oct. 26.--12:4o p. m.-Gen-
eral Yule's column has just marched in here
after a very hard march during a night of
exceptionally heavy rain. The men, though
done up, are in good spirits and only want
a rest The enemy did not molest them"
The dispatches from the front are so diver
sfied and contrary that ii Is difficult to out
line the situation with any degree OF pre-
cislon. Three or four main facts how
ever, stand out prominently. General Sy-
mons fight at Glencoe was not anything
like the decisive victory at first alleged and
General Yule would in all probability have
been annihllated or have met with the same
fate AS the captured Hussars II he had not
retreated.
General Whites ARTILLERY duel' at Riet-
fontein was very eevere engagement, in
which the rife did great execution and In
which success was also achieved at dis
tressing cost.
