LAST DAY IN n. Y.
Col. Bryan Turns His Face
Toward the Setting Sun.
Gets Up In the Night to Speak
at Port Jervis.

HorneIlsville, N. Y.,Oct. 30-Mr Bryan
began his last day of the New York
campaign tour at the town of Addison,
a few miles east of this place. He made
a five minute speech there a. few min-
utes before 8 O'Clock.
Mr.. Bryan entered his coach at Jer-
sey City at about midnight. Arduous
as had been his duties yesterday his rest
was not unbrolSen during the night He
had received a request before leaving
New York to make a stop at Port Jervis
and had reluctantly consented to do so.
When the train arrived there a vast
crowd was in waiting. Mr.. Bryan dress
ed himself and going to the rear plat
form attempted to speak. The people
were, however, so full Of enthusiasm
that it was difficult for him to find op-
pOrtunity to proceed. Mr.. Bryan only
attempted to say that he found them
was necessary to make a speech, even If
he could do so under more propitious
surroundings. He asked them to stand
by their convictions and not to allow
themselves to be sWerved.
Soon after daylight Mr.. Bryan's train
passed through Elmira, where Governor
Roosevelt's train was tied up prepara-
tory to beginning his days work. Mr..
Bryan was sound asleep at the time and
there was no exchange of courtesies be-
tween the two candidates
By the time Addison was reached the
rain which had set in a few miles fur
the crowd was large and enthusiastic
and Mr.. Bryan appeared in excellent
condition. In beginning his speech Mr..
Bryan said:
You show a great deal OF interest to
come out here early in the morning in
the rain to hear a speech of five min
utes. The very fact that you are here
shows that you do not need a speech
even of five minutes. 1t shows that you
have already made UP your minds how
to vote and are anxious for next Tues
register a protest against the trusts
against a large army and against the
imperial policy of the administration"
Mr.. Bryan then dwelt briefly on what
he conceived to be the evils Of trusts,
militarism, territorial expansion. and the
colonial policy of the Republican party.
'I need not tell you" he said. that
if our carpetbaggerS steal in Cuba with
in zoo miles of US, that they will steal
still more when they get across the Pa
cific. All that need to tell you is that
the Democratic party believes in liberty
here and believes in liberty in the Phil
ippines also; that it wants self-govern-
ment here, and is willing to give it to
the people who live in the Philippine ISL
ands. All that I need to tell you is
now and not after the Filipinos are
dead If you are going to give freedom
to the FilipinOs, you want to give it to
live people and not to dead ones"
The rain, which had begun falling at
Addison, had diminished somewhat by
the time Mr.. Bryan's train reached
HornelIsviIle. He spoke here for about
half an hour, and had another large
crowd which was closely attentive.

ALBAUGH-sAPP 6 BLUFF..,
Controversy Has Almost Reached the
Personal STAGE.


The State Journal yesterday stated that
Chairman A1baugh's provisos in the Of
fer. to accept w F. Sapp,s financial prop
ositions in which the chairman was asked
tive
That this was true, is proven by Sapp's
last telegram to A1baugh, which follows /:
Il learn that you are not willing to
back up your statements and accept my
first proposition. My object has been at
tanned, namely, to find out If you meant
what you said when you indorsed the poll.
My money is in Kansas City and Mack
Love will wait upon you If you dare ac-
cept."
Mr. Albaugh sent the following s.hot
stuff back at Sapp:
Your telegram declining to accept my
offer to back the poll with the provision
votes of backing the Democratic poll re-
ceived. As a. furtheF inducement I will
of your Democratic friends, will ACCEPT
my proposition. Money talks. No use
wasting wind. Put up or shut up.
Following this Mr.. Albaugh prepared the

The politicians all know him. He is long
on talk but short on performance. MY
proposition is that the printed poll which
shows Mckinley viii carry Kansas by
21000 underestimate the Mckinley vote
on election day by counties and that the
Democratic poll showing that Rrvan will
carry Kansas by from 900 to 20 600 over
estimates Bryan'S strength mere than 1900
to 0,000 In other words that Bryan will
not carry Kansas, mach less carry it by
the majority shown BY the Democratic
poll. 1 am willing TO back my figures If
they will come within from 5000 to 20 600
of backing theirs, and IN addition I will

CHARGE AGAINST JOHNSON.
Alleged That He is Trading Breiden-

The Populist managers are alarmed
over reports from the First congression-
al district to the effect that J. G. John
sons friends are trading Breidenthal for
legislative votes, by which Johnson
hopes to see himself elected United

have come from John H Atwood of
Leavenworth who is in open rebellion
against johnson, whom Atwood charges
with a plan to permit the state ticket

ALL WILL WAIT.
Parsons Case Awaits Another Decis-
ion of Supreme Court.


The members of the state board Of
charities decided they did not care to
take the chances of disobeying an in
junction in the asylum controversy and
effected a compromise by which Par
sons and Clay Center have agreed to
abide by the result of the decision of the
supreme court in the application for
writ of mandamus to compel the board
to proceed with the work Of acquiring
the site and constructing the buildings
for the new asylum.
The members Of the board and c. H.
Kimball, an attorney representing Par
sons, and F. L. Williams, representing
Clay Center, spent yesterday afternoon
in an executive session at the Copeland
hotel parlors.
Grant Hornaday, chairman of the
board, insisted that the board
obey the mandate of the SUI
preme court while G. W. Kanavel, the
treasurer of the board, suggested that
the members should not take action that
would place them in the attitude of vio-
lating the order of Injunction issued by
absence of the district judge, restrain
ing the members of the board from pro-
ceeding in favor of Parsons.
The entire afternoon was consumed
in a discussion Of the proposition and
the board finally determined that it
would proceed to comply with the order
of the supreme court If Clay Center
would force the injunction proceedings.
A compromise was later effected by
which Clay Center agreed to await the
decision of the supreme court, provided
the board would not proceed to con-
denim the land and acquire the site for
the new asylum.
The supreme court will hear the ap-
plication for the peremptory writ Of
mandamus November z, the day after
election. The decision on the applica-
ton for a writ of injunction is to come
on the following day, SO the asylum
controversy will probably be cleared
up in another week or ten days.
While this compromise is pending r.
L. Williams, the Clay Center attorney,
will prepare an answer on behalf of the
board for the mandamus proceeding.
When the former proceedings were had
in the supreme court Mr.. Kimban, the
Parsons attorney, represented the board.
On this proposition honors are now
about even.
The answer of Mr.. Williams, among
other things will attempt to prove that
the authority of the board to condemn
Land and acquire the site, in accord
ance with the dictum of the supreme
court, was abolished when the board of
public works was created and given
such power.
The board of public works has gone
out of business and it is claimed that
there is no way in which such power can
be made available by the board of char
tiles.

BANK ROBBED.
Robbers Blow Open Safe In WIS.,
consin Town md Escape with
About $4,000.

La Crosse, Wis. Oct. 29.-One OF the
most daring bank robberes in the
history of the state occurred early
saturday morning at Prairie du Sac,
4 small town near Baraboo, Wis. The
Prairie du Sac bank, at that place,
was entered. the safe blown open by
means of dynamite and its contents
Dotted. The robbers secured $500 in
silver and about 300 in gold coin, be-
sides several valuable checks. In all
about $4,000 was stolen. While there
S but little trace of the thieves, it de-
yeloped that there were three of them,
md it is further believed that they
eft town by means of saddle horses,
heading for the north. The explosion
,f dynamite was so loud that it woke
several persons who lived near the
bank. and it was but short time be-
fore they were awake and realized
what had happened. They did not
fare to oppose the burglars, who
were, from all appearances desperate
and fully armed. As soon as the
crowd could get together however
posse was formed ana they started in
pursuit of the thieves.
