Little Falls Oct. 2o.-Rryan was re-
cefved with cheers as the train pulled
into Fonda. He addressed the farm
ers, contending there could be no pros
perity sufficient to justify the farmer
in casting his vote for Il policy which
involved a change of the form of gov
eminent such as was implied in sup
porting the republican policy in the
Philippines.
There was a twenty minute stop at
GloNersville. In a speech Bryan de-
clared the republican party is placing
this campaign upon lower level than
any previous campaign, because it was
appealing to the stomach entirely,
ignoring all higher instincts. He
asserted the crowd would have been
larger if manufacturers of the city ha Il
not prevented employees from leaving
work.
Bryan's train stopped twenty min
utes at Johnstown and five at Fort
Plains. AT both places he was greeted
warmly by fair-sized crowds. At most
stopping places today Bryan was con-
fronted by large, conspicuously posted

ly While he spoke OH trusts and the
increase of the army for five minutes.
large and enthusiastic crowd greet
ed Bryan at Seward parN, where he
devoted most of his time to trusts.
A printed statement to the effect that
in case Bryan was elected the Osborn
shops, one of the largest manufacture
ers of agricultural implements in the
country, would be closed, received Bry-
ans attention. He declared the an
nouncement was intended to coerce the
voters Il thing which was done by
many four years ago, and he warned
the people that this was the method
the republicans We're employing to
deny the common people the freedom
guaranteed them by the constitution.
Bryan's reference to Imperialism was
practically the same as in his New
York speech.
Amsterdam N. Y, Oct. 2o-w. J.
Bryan and party left Albany early this
morning for the second days tour OF
the upstate. Schenectady was the first
| stop. Bryan spoke twenty minutes, re-
viewing the general political situation,
army especially. The crowd was large
and enthusiastic. In beginning, Bryan
said he was glad he lived sin land
where the parties must submit their
platforms and candidates to the voters
and where the people can, ii they want
to, control all legislation and make the
government what they want it to be-"
Discussing trusts, he said If the re-
publican party had properly used the
~ triIr fr n
ing the present administration the
| trust question would be no more prom
inent now than 1T was in 1886, but the
republican party had by its own con-
duct forced the question to the front,
and it must meet it.
Referring to the plea that it is our
duty to remain in the Philippine ISL
ands. Bryan said:
The advantage of the argument of
duty is that you don't have to defend
it. You simply have to say it's your
| duty, and that avoids the necessity of
any defence. They say it's our duty to
stay there. ask them Why? They say
If we come away the F'ilipinos will kill
each other; therefore we must kill them
first and take from them the awful re-
| sponsibility of killing each other.''
| While MIR. Bryan was speaking a
railroad engine pulled along back of
| him, compelling him to suspend his
speech for a minute or two. He referred
| to the circumstance. saying: Its hard
to speak out of doors under the most
favorable circumstances. and l do not
know anything more unfuvorable than
to have u railroad against YOU when

 THE MYSTERY |S STILL UNSOLVED
Nothing to Show the Name of the Vessel Sunk in St.
 Mary's Bay.

St. Johns, N. F., January 1.-The gale has not yet blown itself out, and the sea is still too rough to allow boats to get near the wreck in St. Mary's bay. As yet there is nothing to show the name of the vessel. Ten bodies have been located among the rocks, and others can be seen floating about Plans have been made for the recovering of these as soon as the weather permits; it may then be possible to get at the name of the steamer from pieces of boats wedged in the clefts of the rocks.
 The Roman Catholic priest of the parish while holding services at Holy Rood was given by villager a photograph which had been washed ashore, apparently from the wreck. This represents a seaman wearing a cap upon which are the letters IS. M. s. Falke."
 The priest was also told that the ship had slipped off the rocks into deep water and had disappeared except for the top of one mast, and that a guernsey with the

 In Lewis restaurant, at 12l0 Walnut street, he pointed pistol at Stanley Brush wood, the cashier, and tapped the regis ter while he kept his revolver in plain view of two customers eating near by.
 The contents of the register had been transferred to the safe but few minutes previously, and the robber secured only a handful of change.
 He then gave the waiter and the two customers a parting word of warning and skipped across the street to the restaurant ot Robert McClintoek. Here the robber covered Cashier Joseph Drysdale and com manded two walters and three customers to hold up their hands. They compiled in a twinkling.
 He poeketed the entire contents, $146, and backing out of the door, encountered a grocery solicitor. He poked his revolver into the solicitors face with the comma nd not to make an alarm and forced aim into the restaurant, where all the others still stood with arms outstretched

WASHINGTON ON
 SOUTHERN NEGRO
The Celebrated Educator Speaks
 in Chicago.
GIVES SOME SOUND ADVICE
To Protect Himself In the South the Negro Must Make Himself Use- ful in the Community in
 Which He Lives

Chicago, January 14.JHundreds of colored people of Chicago crowded unto beehei church today to hear Booker T. Washing ton discuss the movement for a new ira dernal insurance organization for negroes. Among those seated on the rostrum were Rev Jenl5in Lloyd Jones, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsoih, States Attorney Charles H. Deneen, Judge c. c. Kohlsaat, Judge Orrin C. Car ter. Judge Richard Tuunill, Hon. Patrick u. oDonnell and Miss Jane Addams. Professor Washington said:-
 In seeking to give encouragement ito this movement I do so because it Is in ithe line with the teaching to which my lie is largely devoted. that of helping the race to prepare itself for industry, business, to exercise thrift and economy, to save money and to help lay up something for a rainy day. Neither actively, officially nor finan- cfally, can enter into the business of this organization, for I am determined to let nothing draw me aside from the work that nave undertaken for the elevation of our people through the medium of sthe Tus- kegee Normal and Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala.
 q am glad to have a part in this meet ing for the special reason that more and more each year the problem confronting our race in these large northern cities is going to become important one The negro who comes from the south to Chi cago, for example, finds certain advant- ages which are not offered him in the south. At the same time he finds certain disadvantages. fIe meets with severer and often almost cruel competition.
 "I have said more than once that I be- lieve that our people can sooner conquer prejudice in the south than northern com petition. The young colored man coming to Chicago from our southern states not only has to meet severe competition, but he finds himself subjected to temptations which don't surround him in his southern home. All these considerations make it most important that any organization in the north that has for it's object the en- couragement of our people in the direction of thrft and economy, the chance which gives them encoura cement ito save money, should receive our special and earnest con- sideration.
 1.-The negro in the north, as elsewhere, will prosper in proportion as he learns to do some one thing well-leanns ito do 1t better than anyone else; in proportion as he learns to put brains, skill and dignity in the common occupation of life.
 "A few days ago was asked by a gen. Sleman in the north in what manner could the negroes in the south be protected. My answer was, Assist in making the negro the most useful man in his community Usefulness will constitute our almost last ing and potent protection whether we live in the north or in the south.
