BRYAN SPEAKS IN BALTIMORE
Under Auspices OF n Democratic Free
Silver Association.

Baltimore, January ?0.-Hon. ". J.
Bryan delivered an address here to-
night upon the political questions Of
the day TO an audience which filed the
Music Hall, the biggest auditorium in
which greeted him and his remarks
with the greatest enthusiasm The
meeting was held under the auspices
OF the Maryland Democratic Associa-
ton, one OF the free silver wings Of
the democratic party OF the state. and
was not encouraged in any manner by
the regular democratic organiza tion
In fact. the la1ter held strictly aloof
from any participation in the affair
They made no effort 10 discourage il
ii any manner, but not one OF the
democratic leaders appeared on the
platform, and an offer OF stage tickets
was politely declined by the principal
members of the democratic state CEN
trail committee.
With the party who came from
Washington with Mr.. Bryan were SEN
ator Tillman, OF South Carolina: Con-
gresham SulZer, OF New York: Rich
ardson, of Tennessee; Jones' of Vir-
ginia, and DeArmond, of Missouri
Il am going to ask the republicans
here TO think for little while when
they go home of the income tax and
see if it is not in line with that doc
trine of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none in the constitution
When the Spanish war broke out we
had to have more taxes and the repub-
lican party looked around for any old
thing to put a stamp on, and you run
across the stamp taxes all the time.
Every time / send a telegram l have
to pay the regular rate and in addition
thereto one cent is added for the bene-
fetal assimilation Of the Filipino.
why is it that the man who sends
the telegram has to pay the tax? Be
cause the telegraph company says so;
and why was the law so mode that the
telegraph company could shift the bur-
den on to the man who sends the tele-
gram? Because the telegraph compan-
les have more influence with the repub-
lican party than all the poor republi-
cans who use the wires.
I'm an hour of peril, this government
can take the son from his mother, the
husband from his wife, the father from
his child and stand them up in front
of an enemy's gun, but in an hour of
it's hands upon accumulated wealth
and make that wealth bear it's share
of the expenses.
"Why is it? 1t is because the repub
lican party has made money more prec-
ious than blood. My friends, you
heard men denounce our income tax
plank in 1896. I want to say that it
is stronger today than it was then.
And if those who have been Sinking
their taxes think that they have set
tied this question for ever / want to
tell them that the income tax will be in
the next campaign and it will be in the
campaign until the constitution of the
United States is so amended as to spe-
cifically authorize an income tax, so
that neither one judge nor nine judges
can build a bulwark around the for
tunes of the great and throw the burd-
ems of government on the poor"

FREE TRADE WITH PORTO RICO
Arguments For and Against Before
Senate Committee.

Washington, January 2O.-The senate
committee on Puerto Rico and the Pa
cific islands held a long session today
and listened to arguments for and
against free trade between Puerto
Rico and the United States. The Puer-
to Rican commission, appointed by the
federal party, which recently arrived
in this country, was heard. These gen
tlemen were all for free trade with the
United States, wanted a territorial
form of government, desired United
States currency as the standard and
wanted a loan authorized. Most of
them favored an extended suffrage and
believed that under the United States
fair elections could be held.
Henry OXnard, of Nebraska, argued
against free trade because of the eff
feet it would have upon the beet sugar
interests. Mr.. HILL of Louisiana, rep
resenting the cane sugar growers, took
the same view.
Mr.. Frye, of Connecticut, opposed
free trade on account of the effect upon
tobacco interests.
Herbert Myrick made a general ar
gument against free trade between the
of the effect it would have upon the
agricultural interests of the United
States.
Major Awes, who was for a long time
sanitary officer of the island gave
scne information concerning health
conditions there.

SCANDAL IN THE NAVY.

Boston, Mass, January pa letter
received from a naval officer at Ma
Mia, dated December 18th, says that
two scandals in the United states
squadron are causing general talk
One is the shooting of Filipino on
board the Monadnock by Captain Nc
Gowan, because the man climbed over
the side of the vessel forward, instead
of aft, as demanded by naval usage.
1t is maintained that the captain in
tended to fire over the man and scare
him, but he was hit in the hip and
died soon afterward.
The other subject Of comment is the
fact that Commander s. w. Very, Of
the CaStine, up to the present time,
has had every officer on the vessel
with one exception, under suspension,
and one of them has objected. Al
though the authorities desire to quiet
proceedings, the officers will have to
be heard, and the matter will be carri-
ed to the department at washington

purpose is TO consider the question Of
constitutional right, not of power. as
1t is conceded that the house has the
power to exclude. with or without rea-
son. right or wrong. The exercise OF
such power, without constitutional
warrant, would simply be brute force,
a tyrannous exercise of power. unre-
viewable by any tribunal"
After citing the constitutional pro-
vision as to the qualification of a rep
resenta1ve in congress. the report pro-
ceeds:
This house, by its independent ac-
tion cannot make law for any pur-
pose. The adding by this house, acting
alone. of a qualification not establish
ed by law would not only be a viola
ton of both the constitution and the
law. but it would establish most dan
gerous precedent which could hardly
fail TO return to plague the inventor"
The report concludes as follows:
"A small partisan majority might
render the desire to arbitrarily exclude
by majority vote, in order to more
securely intrench itself in power, ir-
resistable. Hence it's exercise is con-
trolled by legal rules. In case of ex-
pulsion, if the reCTis e Iwo-thirds can
be hal, the motive I the exercise of
arbitrary power no longer exists, as a
two-thirdS partisan majority is suffi-
cient for every purpose. Hence expul-
sion has been safely left to the discre-
ton of the house, and the safety of the
members does not need the protection
Of legal rules.
I'VE believe that Mr.. Roberts has the
legal, constitutional right to be sworn
in as a member but THE facts are such
that we further believe the house in
the exercise of it's discretion is not only
justified, but required by every proper
consideration involved, to eXpel him
promptly after he becomes a member. -

terday, was recalled for additional
cross examination. He said he had
been urged by Mr.. Clark to secure the
vote of Represente i've Marcye, MI.

THE BoERs WELL PREPARED

New York. January 20.-Exporters in
the city who make a speciality Of the
South African trade believe that the
Beers are remarkably well provisioned,
and that any attempt TO starve them
out is hardly likely to succeed soon.
The United States is the source of the
cereal supplies of the fighting repub-
lies.
"The British government has shown
q remarkable lack of foresight" re-
marked one of the largest local food
exporters to South Africa today, lin
forming a just estimate of the pre-
paredness of the Beers for war and the
bad work of the intelligence department
in gaining any accurate Information
concerning their military supplies Is
only one aspect of the case. As mat
ter of fact, the Beers have not only
been laying up an almost inexhaustible
supply of powder and cartridges. but
an abundant supply Of food as well"

Attempt to Break Jail.

Atlanta, Ga, January 20.-Edward G.
Flanagan, the triple murderer, led
eight desperate prisoners today in an
attempt to escape from Jail at Decatur,
five miles from Atlanta Flanagan
felled the jailer 20 the floor with blow
from a heavy piece of iron, but the
injured man was game, and, drawing
his pistol, fired into the gang of pris-
oners. Flanagan was shot through the
thigh and fell. The other prisoners,
cowed by the fate of sheir leader, hes
itated. The shots attracted the at
tention of the jailer's family, and,
summoning assistance, they managed
to overcome the prisoners and all were
locked up. Flanagan's wound is not
dangerous.

THE BUBDNIC PLAGUE.
A Valuable Article Thereon Issued by
Surgeon General Wyman.

Washington, January 20.-An inter
esting and valuable brochure giving a
complete history of the bubonic plague.
together with means which have been
adopted for it's prevention, has been
prepared and made public by Surgeon
General Wyman, of the marine hos
pital service. Partly, it is a reproduc-
ton of a somewhat similar work is
sued by DR.. Wyman several years ago,
when the plague made it's appearance
in some of the eastern countries. sup
plemented by facts and data gathered
since then. 1t is shown that the plague,
under various names, is a disease
which has ravaged the several coun-
tries of Africa, Asia and Europe almost
from time immemorable. A pestilence
supposed to have been the plague pre-
vailing IN Athens from 432 to 429 B. C..
One --sskoTian calculates that one
fourth the population of Europe, or
q, ,OO0, 900 persons dies in all the epidem-
les in the Fourteenth century.
A very interesting account is given
of the origin and spread Of the present
epidemic Of the plague, the first re-
corded instance Of it's occurrence in the
western hemisphere being at Santos.
Brazil, in October last.
The opinion is expressed that in the
light of experience in other parts of
the world it seems reasonable to be-
lieve that even were the disease intro
duced here it's spread would be very
limited in cities where the sanitary
conditions are good and where the
precautions as to the isolation OF pa
tients and the segregation of those ex-
posed to infection could and would be
practiced. The death rate varies in
different epidemics and is estimated at
from so to 80 per cent.
