The commission went into secret ses-

whether in its present form it had
been eXpurgated sufficiently to permit
it to be made a part of the commits

Following is the text of the letter:
ITO the commission appointed by
the president to investigate the con-
duct of the war with Spain: Gentle
men: 1 have the honor to hand you
herewith my testimony, which is now
resubmitted and revised, in accordance
with the views expressed by you in
your letter to me of Jan. 13. The OBJ
jectionable features and what is con-
sidered irrelevant matter by you, in
which opinion l entirely agree, are
eliminated. In this connection l desire
to state that there was never a thought
or intention on my part of any dis
respect whatsoever to your commission,
out IN explanation of the language

the attention of the commission to the

to elect or defeat Mr.. Quay.
The features of today's skirmish
were the resignation of David Martin
as secretary of the commonwealth and
the conference of the anti-Quay Re
publican senators and members. Mr..
Martin was elected in November to
the senate from the Eighth PennSyl-
vania district and expected to qualify
tomorrow, after the change in the
state administration. He changed his
mind this evening and sent his resig-
nation to Governor Hastings. to take
effect upon its acceptance. The resig-
nation was promptly accented and Mr..
Martin viii qualify in the morning.
The senator-elect is one of the leaders
in the anti-Quay movement and rumor
was current today that Goyernor-elect
Stone, who is in sympathy with the
Quay movement would not send his
cabinet appointments to the senate
tomorrow, but would withhold them
until the senatorial fight is over. This
would have kept Mr.. Martin in office
as secretary of the commonwealth and
prevented his qualification as senator
until his successor was appointed and
confirmed. To avoid such a complica-
ton. Mr.. Martin resigned and thus
retires a day in advance of the other
members Of Governor Hastings
cabinet.
There were present at the anti-Quay
conference forty-seven of the fifty-two
senators and members pledged not to
vote for Senator Quay while he is
under Indictment in the Philadelphia
courts. The five absentees were ac-
counted for to the satisfaction of their
associates. Congressman John Dali
zell of Pittsburg. Congressman Charles
Stone of Warren and J. F. Downing of
Erie, who have also been entered in
the fight by the anti-Quay people. are
on the ground looking over the situa-
ton
Senator Quay reached Harrisburg at
from Washington and IS
staying at the residence of County
Chairman Weiss. The senator expects
to remain here through the early stages
of the fight He shares the confidence
of his managers.
Ex-senator Durham issued a state
ment late tonight. claiming that only
Republicans had attended
the anti-Quay caucus. and this num-
Der, even If al should vote against
him. would be insufficient to prevent
his election He declared his absolute
certainty of Senator Quays reelection
Senator Flynn denied Senator
Durham's statement with reference to
the Republicans present at the anti
Quay conference, and added:

Denver. Jan. 16.-COlonel William j.
Bryan declared today in a brief speech
which he made at the public reception
given to him by the Bimetallic League
of this city, that the silver issue is still
very much alive. He said:
THE cause lives, because it embodieS
the hopes, the aspirations and the be-
lief of our people. 1t is a strong cause
because the people need silver. The
American people favor bimetaIllSm,
never mind where the silver is pro-
duced. We do not need it because II IS
produced here. People eat because they
need it, not because food has to be con-
sumed And so with gold and silver
They are important in the worlds COM
meTce because they are needed and you
can never destroy silver while it is
needed
''The farmer, the creator of wealth,
knows that the gold standard lowers
prices without raising money And If
the sold standard should once be eStab-
lished, you may set it down that the
date OF bankruptcy is not far ahead To
restore bimetalliSm is TO restore the
parity between money and property.
Those who advocate the gold stand

lar is not stable nor honest The

found in the money centers and its
strongest advocates are those who.
when their dollar is invested, want II
to go up. Every goldbug denies this,
however. and it is this denial that gives
me an evidence of his insincerity.
If our cause is just, and I firmly be-
lieve it is, its triumph is sure Truth
cannot be crushed TO earth The hour
of death is not here"
Colonel William J. Bryan and wife
arrived in Denver this morning over
the Burlington route. They were met at
the depot by a reception committee and
were escorted to the residence of Hon
7. NJ. Patterson, where they had break
fast. At II o'clock Il public receDtlOn
