Spoke Yesterday in Portsmouth, NAM
chester and Concord = Met With Con-
siderable Euthusiasm Particul arly In
the Latter City-In Speaking Thore He
Took Up All the Time of the Other
Speakers.
Speakers.

Concord N. H., Feb. 1.-Colonel Will
liam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska ar
rived in this city this afternoon AND
received welcome that will live long
in his memory. 1t was the third city
he had made a stop in since early
morning, the first being in Portsmouth
where he addressed a large number OF
people and awakened much enthu-
siasm; the second was at Manchester,
where he spoke a few words to quite
a crowd which greeted him at the sta
tion.
AT Concord, when the train bearing
the party reached the station, over $500
people crowded around him and despite
the intense cold, the warmth of the
greeting gave an earnest of what was
to be encountered in the evening. Af-
ter a short rest the distinguished visi-
tor held a reception and then attended
banquet at the Eagle hotel, at which
230 of the prominent democrats Of
the state partook. A list of speakers
had been prepared, each speech being
limited to five minutes. But after the
tables were cleared Mr. Bryan, who
was introduced by Nathaniel e. Martin
talked so interestingly that he used up
all the time allotted to the other gem
tlemen. Mr.. Bryan said in opening
that he brought good tidings from
other parts OF the country and found
in New Hampshire and other eastern
states thousands who would not bow
their knee to Baal, men who believe
in the true principles of democracy,
who made and won the fight and res
cued the democratic party from the
rule of plutocracy.
Phoenix hall, the scene of the even
ing's meeting, was jammed an hour
before the Nebraskan visitor had con-
cluded his address at the banquet In
the Eagle hotel. The audience num-
bered fully 2,500 Hon. Samuel B.
Page of Woodville called the meeting
to order and then introduced Colonel
Kent of Lancaster as presiding officer
Mr.. Bryan was late in his arrival, but
the audience rose and cheered for some
interrupting the speech Of Mr..
Page to do so. Mr.. Bryan, although
tired out from his exertions of only an
hour before still seemed to have an i'm
mense reserve force upon which he
drew for an hour and held his audience
Interrupted every few min
utes by wild cheers and cries of appro-
baton.
Mr.. Bryan entered into lengthy dis
cussion Of the taxation question and he
said he believed In the income tax and
will advocate it. His concluding argu-
ments upon trusts and imperialism
were similar to those previously made
in New England. He read a speech of
Lincoln's made in 1859 in which Lin
coin appealed to dissenters to come back
in the party and declaring that he was
willing to die himself If the Declaration
Of independence might live. Hanna
said Mr. Bryan, is willing that the dec
aration shall die if there is money in
1t. AT the close of his address Mr.. Bry-
an was cheered.

BRITISH GOTERNMENT SAFE.
Belief That n Vote VIII Give "a Larger
Minority Than Ever.

London, Feb. 2.-The gossip in the
Hobbies Of parliament to night indicates
a belief that Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
nerman's support of the amendment to
the address has landed him in tight
place. The amendment as a party
move to unite all sections of liberals
has failed 1t has only resulted in raj
lying the supporters of the govern
ment who had been considerably en-
barrassed by criticism even on their
own side Moreover the followers of
Lord Rosebery will probably support
the government. As the Irish men,
bers will abstain from voting the ulti
mate majority will probably be even
larger than usual 1t is felt that the
liberals have been trying to make capi-
tai out Of the crisis, an attempt which

Kinley has received long message
from Governor w. s. Taylor of Ken
lucky dated to-day at Frankfort. Gov
ernor Taylor recites at length the situ-
alton in Kentucky; declares that he
considers himself the legally elected ex-
ecutive of the state and asserts that
the condition of affairs at the present
time is most critical. He says that a
riot may occur at any time, which will
cause much bloodshed. Governor Tay-

power to control the situation and ap-
peals TO the president to end the mat
ter and secure peace in the state by
recognizing him as the governor of
Kentucky. The appeal Is very earnest
and the aid Of the administration is

That Have Not Yet Been to the Front
No Ohicial News That Butler Has
Again Crossed The TugcIn.

Again Crossed The TugcJa.
London, Feb. 2-430 a. m.-Under
War Secretary Wyndhams remarkable
declaration in the house of commons to-
day that Great Britain will have in a
fortnight 100000 regulars in South Af-
RIGA, 1000 Canadians and Australians
received with wonderment OF this total
of $4,000 troops, with 452 guns, all are
now there with the exception Of about
$4,000 that are afloat Beyond compari-
son this is the largest force Great Brit
ain has ever put into the field. AT the
end of the Crimean war she had scraped
together $4,000. Wellington had at Wa
terloo $4,000.
Mr.. Wyndham's speech was the
yet put forward as to what has been
done and is being done The general
tone of the morning papers is that his
figures will astonish the country.
Roughly speaking, only $4,000 men are
at the front. Ten thousand others have
been lost and 10000 are shut up at La
dysmith.
Excluding these, there are 10000
troops who have not yet been in action
in addition to those at sea. Why so
many effectives have not yet been en-
gagged is explained by the lack of land
transport and the organization of sup
plies to which Lord Roberts is devoting
his experience and Lord Kitchener his
genius for details.
1t seems as though the weight of these
masses must destroy the equilibrium
which now holds the British forces sta
tionary whenever they are in contact
with the Boer army. Lack of trans
ports will not explain why when gem
eral at the front request reinforcements
they get them in rather small numbers.
Knowledge is slowly penetrating to
London that large garrisons must be
kept in Cape Colony to hold down the
Cape Dutch, who, as every one knows, |
outnumber the British residents three |
to two.
Gable scraps received during the last
twenty-four hours do not further illum-
mate the situation or the public. 1t
is believed in some trustworthy quar-
ters that General Butler Is again as
sailing the Boer line, but at late I
hour the war office had given no con-
firmation Of such belief.
A further list of casualties published
by the war office brings the total from
the crossing of the Tugela to the
abandonment Of Spion Kop to 1885 Of
fcers and men.
Exceptional activity at the navy
yards continue, but correspondent of
The Associated Press learns that this is
due chiefly to new construction and re-
fitting work. Three ships will be COM
missioned at Devonport this month
Some unpleasant criticism of the war
office has been caused by the discovery
that the sights of the Lee carbines are
defective. Old carbines have been sup
piled to the outgoing Fourth brigade
of cavalry. The only announcement
fresh military preparations
is the formation of three additional bat
terieS.
