L do not see any use in doing so, since
all the people are here
Seven or eight excursion trains ha
brought their burdens to the city from
the outlying country during the day, and
these, added to the inhabitants, gave Mr..
Bryan one of the largest crowds he has
had during the tour Mr.. BRYAN began
speaking few minutes before o'clock
and continued for about an hour He
discussed the trusts and Imperialism.
Enumeratlng the trusts, he spoke of
what he designated the paper trust, and
exclaimed: What more pitiful sight
could there be than that of an editor
writing in defense of the trusts on pa
per the price Of which has been raised
by a trust?''
Mr.. Bryan said that no relief could be
secured from the Republican party, for
had not Senator Hanna, the chairman of
the Republican national committee con-
stituted himself a defender of the trusts !?
Mr.. Hanna, Mr.. Bryan said. had recently
made three defenses of the trust. First
he had said that there were no trusts:
second, that trusts were the natural evo-
sary by the growth of the manufacture
ing interests of the country, and, third,
that the people needed not to be afraid
OF the trusts, because If they should
prove to be dangerous the Republican
party would take care of them Think
OF the humer of that last proposition. >
1t had reminded him of the fox Of -Aesep's
fable; who had suggested to the farmer
that he (the fox would look after the
farmers chickens while the latter went
on with his agricultural pursuits.
He asserted that neither the geld
standard nor the protective tariff was
calculated to help the farmer. that in
deed the Republicans had no plan for
the Improvement Of the condition OF the
farming community. Taking up the
question of the acquisition of new terri
tory, Mr.. Bryan said he was not opposed
10 expansion under proper conditions, but
he SAID we want to bring people in by
selzing their hearts, not by taking them
by their hair and dragging them in If
the Filipinos came into this Union at all
they must, he said, come either as citi-
zens or as subjects, and you shall not
nave them as subjects if We can prevent
that result. There is no place under tho
american constitution for a subject -
There was no danger then, in undertake

The building which Is an old building,

The building is mostly occupied By
printing offices, although there are also
a number of other tenants In 1t. In q

jim HOWARD SENTENCED
MURDER OF WILLIAM
GOEBEL
NEW TRIAL WAS ovERRULED
Defendants Counsel VIII File a
BiIl of Exceptions with the
Kentucky Court of
Appeals.

! FRANKFORT. KY, Sept 29.-The mo-
! ton for new trial in the case of James
Howard was overruled by Judge Cantrill
| this afternoon, and Howard was sem
fenced to hang Dec 2. 1t was agreed
| that the attorneys should be allowed to
| file their bill of exceptions IN the appeal
| to the court of appeals any time between
now and the third week in October.
Howard did not weaken or appear agi-
| tated when the solemn sentence of the
| court consigning hm to the gallows was
pronounced upon him, but in answer to
the usual question of the court if he
coud show cause why sentence should not
be pronounced, he said in firm, clear
voice: II am innocent"
He stood erect, facing the court and
listening intently to every word uttered
by the judge, who was Wis bly, affected
by the soIemnity of the occasion and
spoke with a voice choked with emotion
In overruling Howard's motion for a
new trial. which occurred only a few
moments before sentence was pronounc-
ed, the court said he did not consider any
of the matters set up in the affidavits
filed by the defense as sufficient to cause
new trial The atfidavits of the defense
attacking the qualifications of several Of
the juorors had been fully offset by
counter affidavits filed by the prosecu-
ton. By the admission of one bit of tes-
timony the court was in doubt whether
the defendants rights had not been pref
udiced though the ruling admitting it
was in accordance with decisions of the
court of appeals.
COURT FOLLOWED PRECEDENT.
The testimony in question was as to a
conversation between Henry Youtsey and
w. H. Culton, alleged co-conspirators,
and the court said: while the court Of
appeals has held that this sort of testi-
mony may be admitted as evidence, I
have grave doubts as to the correctness
of that ruling, and If left unhampered
by that decision I should not have al
lowed that part of the testimony to have
gone to the jury. But the court OF APP
state, and there is nothing left for this
court except to follow the lines laid
down by it"
The other matters raised by the aft1da-
Wits fled were, with one exception, rela-
tive to alleged remarks made by jurors
prior to the trial, showing hostility to
the defendant. The exception referred to
was the affidavit of B. L. Guffy, who
swore to alleged new evidence in How
ards. behalf The court said that these
affidavits were discredited by the fact
that all the persons making them had
been in the court room almost every day
of the trial and on intimate terms with
the attorneys and friends of the defend
ant. That the charges made in them, If
presented TO the court and proven, would
have been cause for diseharging the jury
yet they were never made until the jury
had returned its verdict

before the imperial clan court This il
the supreme judicial tribunal of China
and Is the only one having Jurisdiction
over the members of the imperial family.
1t is presided over by Prince Ii, with the
well-known Prince Ching as first vice
president. Prince Ii is the first of the
eight princely families Of China, and is
regarded as friendly to the progressive
element.
Clan COURT PRO-FOREIGN.
The attitude of Prince Ching has been
notable throughout the trouble as friend
ly to foreign interests. There are five
other members of the court all of them
high personages. They occupy a building
at Pekin and are in regular session for
the trial of cases affecting members OF
the nobility and the highest persona ges.
Chinese officials here say that the refer
ence of the case to this high court is Of
itself the fullest assurance of the gravity
with Winch the throne regards the mat
ter. 1t is noted also that even before the
trial Prince Tuan is stripped of his salary
and official servants. Being a man of
large and independent means the loss of
salary would not amount to much, if 1t
were not that this, and the loss of the
servants is a special means of humil.a-
ton. The names Of the four princes
who have been degraded are not known
here. either by the state department or
by the Chinese-legat:on
The action of the Chinese government
in overthrowing the reactionar.es is likely
to give the most intense qualification to
the friendly viceroys of the South Of
China and to all the ministers here, in
London, and in Europe, who have SO
strenuously resisted the Boxer move
ment. 1t may be specially noted that
only today Minister WI received informa-
ton that these v.ceroys, including Ii
Hung Chang. had memoriatzed the throne
TO punish the very element which has
now been overcome.

SHENANDOAH, Pa. Sept. 2e-The
only incident of any Importance here to-
day was the conference between Gen.
Goblin, Sheriff Toele and representatives
of mine operators relative to the with
drawal of the troops. The meeting was
held at the solicitation of Gen Goblin,
who said he did not believe the pres
enee of the troops necessary since there
is absolutely no indications of evidence
of violence on the strikers part, par
tieularly as this district is completely
tied UP. The opinion was divided as TO
whether the troops should be ordered

was decided to leave 1t to Sheriff Toole
to decide. Sheriff Toole was unwilling to
assume the responsibility and told the
Associated Press correspondent that the
matter was in the hands Of Gen. Gobin.
The general said there was no necessity
for keeping such a large body of troops
here, and that he had decided to send
one regiment away on Monday.

speeches were generally addressed to
farmers and Mr. Bryan spoke to them as
a farmer The weather was again good,
but al places where somewhat too breezy

BRYAN ON ARBITRATION.
In response to a request In regard to
the advisabii1ty Of arbitration as the
means Of settling the strike iii the
anthracite coal regions, Mr.. Bryan said
today: Arbitration is the only just and
equitable means of adjusting disputes be-
tween corporate employers and their en-
ployes. While arbitration is usually
asked by the employer it ought to be ac-
ceptable to the employers if they believe
they are treating the miners fairly and
1t ought to be demanded by the public
generally because every great strike af-
fects the public at large even more than
1t does either the employers or the en-
ployes. Those who refuse arbitration
confess that they are not prepared to
submit their arguments to an impartial
tribunal"

be decided in a convention of representa-
tives of all anthracite miners Our opin-
lon, In case such an advance be offered
Is that 1t will not be sufficient to end the

there is not a fixed price on each kind
