allel. In view of these facts, he had
no doubt but that Mr.. Bryan had often
had occasion to regret his utteranceS
in the campaign.
THE most unfortunate utterance a
public man ever made" he said, was
Mr.. Bryan's frequent inquiry, upon
coming into towns, whether general
prosperity had arrived. That inquiry
was beneath the dignity of a great
mana man made great by a great is
sue, if not by his own personal magni-
tude."
The Chinese wall of foreign trade had
been broken down, and, for the first
time in our history, Europe was look
ing to the United States to fix the rate
of exchange. He maintained that while
there had been an unprecedented in
crease in the revenues derived from
abroad on our agricultural products,
the expectations of our manufacturers
have kept even pace with them.
He proceeded in some detail to show
that American trade was penetrating
all corners of the earth, and concluded
with an appeal to the country to sus-
tain the policy which was doing so
much for it.
Mr.. Underwood Oem., Ala-) replied
briefly to Mr.. Grosvenor, urging the
futility of recent tariff legislation in
securing prosperity. and the inaction
of the party in power on financial
questions.
Mr.. Cox (Dem., TENN also took up
the political theme, arguing that if the
government was on gold standard,
it was not due to any legislation by
the party in power, but through the
course of the secretary of the treasury.

ADMIRAL How1soN,s RETURN.
Arrives at Barbados About a Week
Ahead of His Schedule.

Word was received at the Navy Depart
ment today of the arrival at Barbados to-
day of the flagship Chicago, with Rear Ad-
miral Howison, commanding the South At
lantic station. on board. Admiral Howison
is about a week ahead of his itinerary, and
if he feels so disposed, and is not interfered
with, have his flagship in New York
harbor in ample time to participate in the
naval demonstration in honor of the return
of Admiral Dewey. In order to do he
must coal and provision his vessel and
cover the distance between Barbados and
New York inside of thirteen days, an un-
dertakng which can easily be accomplish
ed, provided 1t is necessary and agreeable.
AS is well known, the Chicago has just
completed cruise to Europe, Africa and
South America, covering over $4,000 miles.
She is due in New York October 5, and it
is possible that her future movements may
be arranged so as to delay her arrival there
until that date. Admiral Howison is known
to be an intimate friend of the hero of Ma
Mia and there is reason for the belief that
personally he would like to contribute to
the full extent of his ability to the glory
of Admiral Dewey's reception.
There are reasons, however, why 1t may
not be altogether agreeable to the naval
authorities to have Admiral Howison in
New York harbor until after the conclu-
sion of the Dewey demonstration. Admiral
Howison stands number four on the naval
list. and as he ranks Rear Admiral Samp
son seven numbers his presence in New
York harbor during the Dewey reception
ceremonies might possibly complicate and
disarrange the naval program prepared by
Admiral Sampson and approved by the
Navy Department. There is an unwritten
law in the navy under which the officer
highest in rank is always in command, and
under that condition Admiral Howison
would naturally supersede Admiral Samp
son n command of the naval vessels par
ticipating In the Dewey ceremonies.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
Admiral Howison is not likely to reach
New York in time for the Dewey reception.
1t is not known whether this impression is
based upon the knowledge that Admiral
Howison has received an intimation that
he had better delay his return until the
date originally fixed whether it is due
to the belief that the admiral himself has
no idea Of eXpeditfng his return. The i'm
preston prevails, however that If Admiral
Howson fails to reach New York in time
for the Dewey reception it will be because
he has received an intimation from the
Navy Department that he had better visit
some ports in the West Indies not In his
original itinerary, or to touch at some
southern port in the United States, instead
of going direct to New York.

Spanish Planter Says That the
Prisoners Are Treated Cruelty.


News concerning Lieutenant Gilmore and
his fourteen companions of the Yorktown,
who were captured by the Filpinos at
Baler. more than six months ago. comes
to naval officers in this city by mail from
the Philippines. The latest definite informa-
ton was received from Spanish planter,
Garza by name, who recently escaped from
the insurgents, after having been in cap
tivity for some time. He claims to have
seen Lieut.. Gilmore and the enlisted men
from the Yorktown at Bfgan, where they
are imprisoned. He says they are allowed
one peseta day for each man. not more
than enough to supply them with rice.
There are also about zoos Spanish prison
ers held at Bgan, and they are worse off
than the Americans, being allowed only
half peseta a man a day. The planter
says that nearly all the Prisoners, Spanish
and American, are sick. Their treatment
is cruel, and he believes the Americans can
not hold out much longer on thefinsufficient
supply of food allowed them.
