MUST Be NO RETREAT
Bryan Talks to Young Democrats
at Columbus.
A WORD ABOUT TRUSTS
A Boom for George Fred Williams for
Vice President : Tammany De-
nounoed in q vitriolc Speech
by Judge Tarvin.

Columbus, Ohio. July 7.-About 900
people attended the dollar dinner given
by the Young Mems Democratic club of
Columbus in the Auditorium tonight.
The affair was strictly democratic in it's
simplicity, all classes being represented.
The chief guest was Colonel William
Jennings Bryan. The entrance of Col
onel Bryan was greeted by an outburst
of applause, which lasted until after
he had become seated
Judge Tarvin, president Of the League
of Bimetallic Clubs OF the Ohio Valley,
responded to the toast, Party and
Principle" In vitrolic speech he de-
nounced the attempts being made to
relegate the silver question to the rear.
He insisted that the issue must be made
as prominent in 1900 as it was in the
Chicago platform. The party must not
pose of obtaining the vote of New York.
He declared that the men in control of
the democratic organiZatin in New York
city We're notoriously out of sympathy
with the Chicago platform and said it
was known to all men that the organ
lied wealth of the country owned the
New York city organization body and
soul. He denounced the efforts now
being made by the organized wealth of
the country in New York. in Chicago
and Indianapolis to destroy the force
and power of the democratic party by
mutilating the Chicago platform of
1885,
When Colonel Bryan was introduced
there was another outburst of applause
that continued for several minutes
When quiet had been restored Colonel
Bryan launched upon discussion of
the issue of the day in response to the
toast, Democracy
Colonel Bryan insisted that there
must be no retreat from the position
taken in 1896. He spoke also of the
trust question, declaring that the trusts
must be taken in hand by the federal
government and recalled a recent state
ment of Attorney General Griggs to the
effect that 'if anything is done to con-
troll the trusts, 1t must be done by the
states"
Colonel Bryan n.tdntained that the
president, through his attorney gen
eral, could enforce the law now in ex
istence, but he declared that the repub-
lican party had mortgaged itself to
the trusts to obtain money to carry on
the last election ana SAID When the
methods employed in that election were
understood, mo one can wonder that
the attorney general is undisturbed by
the watering of stock, the discharge of
travelling men and the extortion prac-
ticed on the consumer
Mr. Bryan deplored the taking of life
in the Philippines and insisted that the
people of those islands should be given
the same freedom as had been promised
to the Cubans.
The last speaker was George Fred
williams, his toast being THE Eastern
Democrats"
The boom for Hon. George Fred
Williams of Massachusetts, as candi-
date for vice president in 1900
launched by Hon. c. T. Callahan in his
speech created a stir among the Ohio
republicans, who have been hoping
that this honor would be landed by

Surprises,

The Last Day of Races Contained No
Surprises.
Henley-on- -the-Thames, July THE
Henley royal regatta came to an end
under the most favorable conditions.
The weather to-day was perfect, but the
attendance was not so numerous as
usual The racing contained no sur
prises and no close finishes. There was
feeling Of relief, however when in the
Stewards cup Magdalen disposed so
easily of the German crew that many
had predicted would win. The cheers
that greeted the winner were much
heartier than those given to any vic
tors and emphasized generally that the
trophy was not to be taken abroad
There was also much enthusiasm
when the young Etonians fairly rowed
down their strong opponents, Pembroke
college, in the Ladies' Challenge plate
and re-established their claim as the
holders of the trophy. Howells victory
in the Diamond Challenge sculls was
also immensely popular. When Lady
Esther Smith presented the prizes after
the races, Colonel william, the umpire,
made brief speech, in which he well
coined the foreign crews to Henley.
He said:
I'VE are especially glad to renew ac-
quaintances with the Argonauts, who
made such favorable impression when
they were here two years ago. Although
we should be extremely sorry to part
with the cup, there is no place where
we would rather see it go than Can
ada"
When Gold came up to receive the
prizes for the Grand and for the Stew
ards he was greatly cheered in recog-
milton of the skill with which he piloted
the two crews TO victory. Gold stroked
the Leanders when they defeated Yale.

Galveston, Texas, July THE situa-

proving. The river is falling There is
an unconfirmed rumor that five lives
were lost near Sartarta, in the Fort
Bend country. The report sent out
Wednesday from Brookshire, Waller

Relief committees are now well or
ganized. At Brookshire the relief COM
mittee have opened a commissary and
issue half ration per capita. They
nave taken precautions so that only
the deserving shall get these rations
ana therefore they issue to the planter

flood came. Those who owned their
own farms and lost everything. as is
the case with most of them, are allowed
to draw their rations direct

at Brookshire to last for a week or
more. Along the BrazoS alone, it is
estimated more than 10 900 negroes
have lost everything. The loss by
drowned horses, mules and cattle is
something enormous

tor over Dal Hawkins of San Francisco

The winner came to the ringside as
the short ender in two to one bet
ting proposition and won almost as
he pleased. The fight, although fast
and game, was not satisfactory. IT was
first announced that the men would
fight straight Queensberry rules. Then,
in the second round, they agreed to
break clean and failed to do so.
There was no announcement of the
latter agreement until later, and as a
result there WAS an immense amount
of wrangling and confusion. The
crowd hissed both men for fouling,
but Referee Johnny White contented
himself with rather mild cautioning
The men did about as they pleased.
They hit in clinches, hit with the free
arm and hit at the breakaway.
In the 18th round White took mat
ters into his own hands and at every
clinch forcibly broke the men. Even
at that they continued to hit awar at
one another both in clinches and after

IT'S THE THIN EDGE.
Likely to Render the Present Govern
ment Unpopular.


London, July In the house of lords
to-day the secretary of state for war.
Lord Lansdowne. introduced a bill
which was regarded as the thin edge
of conscription, and is, therefore, likely
to render the government unpopular
The bill, which is entitled the militia
ballot act" is intended to simplify and
resularize an existing act now prac-
tically suspended In favor of voluntary
enlistment. In his speech introducing
the measure Lord Lansdowne carefully
explained that the government only
wanted ii read the first time, as there
was no intention to pass it, and he
repudiated the idea of trying to in
tr"duce conscription by a side wind.
Personally, he said, he did not favor
conscription, but he thought it "advis-
able that such a bill should be in
readiness if wanted" and that the
country should realize how it stands
with regard to this question"
Already the liberal papers are attack
ing the government and asking what
need there is of such measure unless
conscription is intended and, looking to
the fact that recruiting is dwindling
the bill will be regarded with great
suspicion,

AMERICAN EXPORTS.
An Increase to Every Part of the World
Except Europe.

Washington, July Tn a study of
the details of exports from the United
states during the fiscal year just end
ed, the bureau of statistics shows that
every part OF the world has evinced an
increased desire for American products.
Europe is the only part of the world
which has failed TO increase the amount
of money paid to us for our products
and this, the bureau says. is due solely
to the plentiful supply of bfeadstuffs irs
that part of the world in 1899 as COM
pared with 1888 and the consequent de-
crease in price paid per bushel.
The reduction in value of wheat seat
to Europe in II months of 1899 compared
with the corresponding months of 1893
is, in round numbers, $1s,000,000 The
United Kingdom has also reduced her
purchases of live cattle about 1000 900
in the months of 1899 compared with
the corresponding months of 1898, due,
it is believed. largely to an increase in
price demanded by the dealers of the
United States
