CHARGES BRIBERY
A Resident of Peoria Repeats q
Very Unlikely Story Told
A0dlnSt BrVdn.


PORTAGE. Wis, Oct. 3-Bryan and
his party left Lacrosse at midnight
and arrived mere at 3 o'clock this
morning Mayor Rose of Milwaukee,
and gubernatorial candidate Boehm-
rich are travelling with Bryan. They
say the sentiment for Bryan in Wis
consin is increasing.
Watertown is the only democratic
town to be visited by Bryan today.
AS in Minnesota he is to speak to
great extent in republican strongholds.
Bryan this morning branded as a
malicious campaign lie the story sent
out from Peoria last night to the ef-
feet that he had received $3.50, 900 from
syndicate of Colorado mine owners
for forcing the insertion or the silver
plank in the Kansas City platform.
The story about the bribe, referred to
above, is as follows: Cyrus NJ. King
man, of Peoria, Illinois. says young
woman acquaintance of his. who had
also long been an intimate friend of
the Bryans, is his authority for the
charges. This young woman, whose
name he refuses to reveal. but whose
home is in Jacksonville. ILL.,. visited at
Bryan's home in Lincoln for one month
this summer and left the city the day
the democratic convention convened in
Kansas City.
She asserts. says Kingman, that rep
resentatives of silver interests OF Col
orado offered Bryan $150.000 il he
would refuse to accept any nomination
on any other than a free silver plat
form. She further asserts that Mr..
Bryan accepted the offer.
When Bryan was asked about the
charge he said:
1T is hardly worth while to deny
the charges of a man who hides be-
hind a woman whose name he will not
give. but in order that the most un-
republican may have no
reason for repeating the charge, 1 will
say it is absolutely false in every par
ticular. No one ever offered. promised
or gave me that sum or any other
sum for urging that that plank or any |
,ther plank be inserted in the Kansas |
City platform or any other platform.
II do not know anything of Mr.. |
E<ingman. but the papers say he is a
cousin of Senator Cullom and / do /
know something of Senator Cullom.
rhe senator ought to know whether
MS cousin is trustworthy, and if the
senator will state over his own sigma
.ure that he believes what his cousin
;ays and is willing to represent him
n an investigation of the charge,
will make him a proposition which
will give him an opportunity to pro-
luce his evidence"

THE LULL IN OPERATIONS
1t Is Not, However, without Its Interest,"
Ing Incidents.

London, March II, so n, m.-Whlie
there is lull in the military opera
tions, the present surroundings of tho
war show interesting developments.
The colonial Office has telegraphed to
Cape Town the text of the proclama-
ton concerning the destruction OF
property. This will not be published
in London until after its PRONUNCIATION
in South Africa, but it is known it
will convey an intimation that any
wanton destruction of British proper
ty during the war will be regarded as
warranting claim for compensation
and as justifying levy upon private
property, should the resources of the
Trunsvaal republic prove inadequate.
The fact that the proclamation is is
sued by the colonial Office is regarded
as II significant indication that the re-
publics will be administered as crown
colonies.
In this connection it Is understood
that the leaders of the opposition in
parliament now admit that no other
settlement is possible, since the repub-
lies insist upon their demand for abso-
lutte independence.
in view of this the efforts of the
liberals will be confined to securing in
the settlement the best treatment for
the Dutch population including securi'
ty against their disfranchisement'
Mr., Stcyn's reply to Lord Roberts
charge of the misuse of flags of truce
is commented upon as impertinent and
ridiculous, and Lord Roberts course
in closing n useless discussion is COM
mended as wise.
The government has decided that
Ma. .-Gen. Frederick Darlington shall
command colonial force Of 5000, in
cluding the $500 men Mr.. Chambers
lain asked from Australia, which viii
be stationed on the northern Trans
yaal border to prevent Boer retreat or

THE OLD STORY.

stand beside the window here
And gaze at John and May.
As hand in hand, unheeding aught,
They wend their wooing way;
And, oh, 1t brings me back the days,
Ere age had changed my view,
And every tale heard or told
3 still believed was new.
30 on, go on, my happy boy,
And read your brief romance
Youth is the time for love and rhyme,
So do not lose your chance.
The joys that blessed my early days
would not keep from you;
For soon you'll find the happy tale
Won't. always seem so new.
We used to stroll, long years ago.
About the same old way;
You were blushsng maiden then,
And / lover gay.
{ told you how my heart was yours,
And that I'd prove 1t true.
Twas an old, old tale told you, Kate,
But ah, we thought twas. new.
And as 1 stand and watch them here
II all comes back to me-
The shady walks. the loving talks,
In days that used to be.
There they go walking slow, absorbed,
Just as we used to do;
It's an old, old tale he's telling, Kate,
But, ah, they think 1t new.
But can It be that am wrong.
Have / grown grabbed with age?
Let me turn back lfe's closing book.
And view that older page.
I'm partly wrong, I'm partly right,
Loves story's DID, tits true;
But though twas born in earth's hrst
morn,
Loves self Is ever new.
