Starving Porto Ricans Drag Themselves to San
Juan to Plead For Help

San Juan, Porto Rico August 13.-More
than hundred laborers with their wives
and children, reached this city this morn
ing after two days of weary marching
without food from San Lorenzo, a distance
of q miles. The procession, made up of
all shades and conditions led by a col
ored woman with an American flag and
carrying banners on which were in
scribed the ords "Give us work 4"
marched quietly through the city to the
executive mansion where a halt was
made.
The spokesman Aon called upon Civil
Governor Hunt and explained that the
object of the visit was to ask the Govern
ment TO open a road between Caguas and
San Lorenzo, thus enabling the laboring
classes of the district to get a livelihood.
He pointed out that there was no work
of any kind in the district and that the
people were without bread and were suf-
fering.
. Mr.. Hunt replied sympathetically and
promised that the Government would do
all in its power to relieve tho situation.
The delegation Immediately retired and
the procession left the city an hour after
it had entered and began the return jour-
ney.
Orders were promptly issued for work
to be begun on the road tomorrow and
for the employment of as many persons
as possible who might apply from the dis

(By the Associated Press }

Chicago, Ills, August 13.-This after

a delegation of colored men headed by ].
Milton Turney, of st. Louis, former Min
lister to Liberia. They represented that
there was much dissatisfaction among
the members of their race with the pres

Mr.. Bryan also participated in a con-
ference with ex Governor Stone, of Mis-
scuri: Ex-Governor Altgeld, of Illinois
Mayor Taggert, of Indianep polls Chairman
Martin, of the Indiana State Central Com
mittee and Senator Jones. The outlook
in Indiana was reported as favorable.
The date for the departure of Mr.. and

Mr. Bryan closeted himself with a
phonograph today and delivered over
again parts of the speech of acceptance
he made at Indianapolis last week. Those
sections in which the candidate promised
to call an extra session of Congress to
deal with the Philippine problem, and
the closing periods, were the principal
parts of the speech that went into the

Chicago Ills, August 13.-General
Joseph Wheeler, commander of the De-
partment of the Lakes, today saved the
life of William j. Bryan, Jr., the 12-year-
old son of the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. The lad visited General
Wheeler and the latter, after his first
greeting, turned to his work, and al
lowed the youngster to amuse himself as
best he might. Young Bryan found a
loose chair caster and a big bundle of
rubber bands. These he tied into long
string and then securing the caster to
the bottom went to a window and be-
gan bouncing the piece of iron up and
down ON the sidewalk seventy feet below

ANTI-IMPERIALIsT LEAGUE
Schurz Wants Bryan Endorsed. Third Ticket
Men Suggest Tom Reed.
(By the Associated Press

Indianapolis August 13.-The Congress
of the Anti-Imperialist League will be
called to order Wednesday morning. in
Tomlinson Hall, by ex-senator Hender-
son, of Missouri, and he will introduce
Governor George S. Boutwell, of Mhssa-
chusetts, who will preside over the meet
ings.
There will be no set program for the
first session. A number of speeches will
be made relative to determining what is
the best course to pursue.
Governor Boutwell, is opposed to placing
a third ticket in the field, and will use all
his influence to prevent the nomination
of third ticket and likewise the endorse
ment of Bryan and Stevenson. He be-
leved strong resolutions denouncing i'm
perialism should be adopted and then the
meeting should adjourn.
1t was thought that Carl :Schurz wOuld
not be here because of family aifliction,
but it is now stated positively that he will
be here.
Bourke Cochran is also billed for an
address.
1t is also affirmed that Schurz will in
sist upon an endorsement of Bryan and
Stevenson and that he will be aided in
this by Henry u Johnson, exRepublican
Congressman from the Richmond, or
sixth Indiana district. E. c. Rowland,
of New York, says that the impression
in the East is that the Anti Imperialists
will join in the third ticket movement.
Those who favor a third ticket have
suggested the names of Thomas B. Reed,
Richard Olney, Ex-Governor Boutwell,, of
Massachusetts, and J. B. Henderson.

Leadsa North Carolina News and Circulation

They knew there was some revolt but
had no idea how deep seated it was. A
leading Chicago public man said TO me on
Friday: There are ten indications of
a revolt against the Republicans in this
State this year where there was one in
1892. In September the Republicans vir-
tually conceded the election of Altgeld
For Governor and said the foreign born
vote would be cast for Harrison for
President This year, you hear ii said
that Auschuler, the Democratic candi-
date Will run far ahead of Bryan and will
probably be elected while Mckinley may
carry the State. This is born OF Repub-
lican desire to get the Germans, who
will vote for one of their own men for
Governor, to vote for Mckinley In 1892
they not only voted for Ahgeld but also
for Cleveland and Stevenson, and this
year they will probably go the whole
hog as they did in 1892"
"Straws show which way the wind
blows" l met ON the train very in
telligent educator who spent the last two
or three years abroad, and as he was
passing through indianapolis we fell to
talking of the great gathering there. I
have been astounded at the change of
he said. In 1896 in the coll
lege out of 21 professors, every one but
two voted for Mckinley and one of the
two threw away his vote on Palmer and
Buckner. That was the feeling when I
went abroad. Returning a few days ago
| find that 16 of these men will vote for
Bryan certain and two Others are against
Mckinley. Why the change? These men
say that the silver question is not an
issue in this campaign and they are
against the foreign policy of Mckinley
that will destroy the very mudsills of
the Republic. That accounts for their
change and it is going to change many
more of the quiet, thoughtful citizens than
the politicians know about
"The notification meeting at Indian
apOlis will become historic There were
10000 people in the parade, on the line
of the parade, and at the park where the
speeches were made. They stood un-
covered in the sweltering O'Clock sun
for nearly three hours, seemingly re-
gardless of the heat or anything else. 1t
was fine body of men and women, rep
resentative of the worth of the Hoosier
State. The mayor of the city, Thos.
Taggert, who had charge of the arrange
ments, had everything in aple-pie shape,
and made a model introduction speech.
The address by Hon. James d. Richard
son, notifying Bryan Of his nomination,
was of a high order and had added to the
reputation of the able Tennessee leader.
Governor Thomas's speech notifying Vice
President Stevenson was wanting in Moth
ing to make it perfect. The replies have

the powers, so long as the Ministers and
Legationers are restrained and in danger.
Then follows a specific statement of
what the United States expects as con-
dition precedent to a cessation of hostil-
ties, viz, that body of the relief force
be permitted to "enter Pekin unmoles-
ted" and escort the Ministers back to
Tien Tsin.
1t developed during the day that the
reference to "the powers" employed in
the American reply was not without
distinct meaning. Exchanges between the
various powers have been going on con-
stantly and as a result the officials had
the satisfaction of knowing late in the
day that the position of the United
States had the approval and support of
all the great powers. While this had
not been expressed in any formal man
ner by all the parties, yet the exchanges
in the chancellories of Europe and
through the foreign representatives in
Washington, made it positive that the
powers ere acting unitedly in approval
of the course of this Government Several
of the foreign representatives, in
cluding the German Charge and
the Russian Charge, were with
Mr.. Adee during the afternoon.
These added to the assurances of unan;-
nifty among the powers. The presence
or the Russian representative was graft
flying in clearing away some misappTe-
hension, which was not shared by the
Government here, as to Russa's course
in authorizing M. De Giers to leave Pc
kin under Chinese escort 1t was pointed
out that this in no way brought about
a difference between the attitude of Rus
sia and that of the other powers as all
were acting on the theory that the Chi
nese Government must first give an abso-
lutte guarantee for the safety of the ..in-
listers 1t seems evident that this abso-
lutte guarantee cannot be given by China
unless it allows the international forces
to enter Pekin, so that in effect The
Russian position does not differ material
ly vfom that of the other powers A.
least Russia is included among those
who fully approve the course taken by
the United States.
PROMISES NOT ENOUGH.
"a member of the Cabinet stated today
that no consideration would be given
promises of the Chinese Government un-
til the demands that have been made by
this Government are actually and fully
complied with.
We have made our demands on the
Chinese Government" said this official,
''in very definite language, and in view
Of that Governments persistent failure
to meet them, although fully understand
ing them, mere promises will not now
be considered. Nothing, as l see it, will
stop the march of the relief force to
