MRS. ADAIR'S MISSION.
VIII Try to Arouse American Senti-
ment in Favor of Britain.

LIVERPOOL, Feb 1.-THE White Star
line steamer Oceanic. which sails from this
port to-day for New York, will have among
her passengers Mrs. Adair. of the Amer
lean hospital ship Maine committee, who
is daughter Of General Wadsworth, killed
during the battle of the Wilderness. Mrs.
Adair is the owner of one of the largest
cattle ranges In the Panhandle of Texas.
Mrs. Adair is going to America In connec-
ton with the Maine. She says:
az hope everyone will have understood
that / am not going on a begging expedi-
ton. / believe in my heart that there is
among all Americans of English descent
strong feeling of sympathy and attachment
for the mother country. What / am going
to America for is to how best 1t can be
brought out. / am not going to beg, for If
this feeling is not spontaneous, instead of
being gratifying to the English nation 1T
will cast a siur on them. England does
not want our charity. She would not let
wounded soldier be neglected. But
what she does want at this moment, when
almost nearly every continental power is
scowling at her and she is menaced from
every quarter, is that we, who sprang from
her side, should understand her and stand
by her, and we mean to do So"

Taylor and the rest of the Republican

There were no incidents marking the re-

shortly after noon, an hour and half later

NEW YORK. Feb. 7.-During the banquet
of the Society of the Genesee, at Sherry's.
tonight, Mr. Bryan and his party entered
the hall while Oscar r. Williams. ex-con-
sui at Manila, was speaking on affairs in
the Philippines. Mr.. Williams defended
the Philippine policy of General Otis and
President Mckinley. and closed with an ap-
peal to continue President Mckinley at the
helm of state, assuring all his hearers that
such helmsman would bring the ship to the
port safe and secure.
There were loud cries for a speech from
Mr.. Bryan. and he finally rose and thanked
those assembled for the hearty reception.
He said: with some OF the things the
speaker has Just said heartily agree.
When he speaks of governing with the
consent Of the people and by the people
and for the people. 1 agree with him with
ell my heart. But If he means that the peo-
pie of the Philippines are to be taxed with
out representation, then 4 do not agree

TIMES of this country, of what govern
ment of the people, for the people and
by the people means. Republicanism
rests on the consent of the people.
/ don't believe God ever created one ma
ton to cross the seas to sieze and govern
another. I agree with the speaker that
we ought to plant the seeds of our form of
government in all parts of the world. But
/ cannot see why We ought to do 1T with
cannon nor why we should try to give the
people of the Philippines our form of gov
eminent, and If they refuse Ii shoot them
down. The reason this country cannot
speak out as it should in the British-Boer
war is because of our treatment of the
Philippines We cannot condemn England
for doing what We are doing our
selves. And the more Is the pity,
for believe the great majority of our peo-
pie are opposed to the invasion of the
rights of the South African republics by
the monarchy of Great Britain. And that
they will be so inconsistent as to take this

to adopt the English policy of aggression

terests in Ventura and adjoining counties,

Mr.. Bard managed these large estates until
Colonel Scott's death, when he became his
administrator and closed out the property.
He was obliged TO give bonds In the sum
of $1,500,000, all within the county of
Ventura, but he had no trouble in securing
the amount, farmers going on his bond for
all they were worth. Had he defaulted the

southern California and Is one of the chief
executives of the Union Oil Company. He

ing. His home life is described by those
who know him as ideal. Mr. Bard is a
man of fine presence, large frame, keen
gray eyes and pleasing address. His
friends boast that he did not spend so
much the price of cigar to secure his
election.

murder He was very bitter in his denun-
citation of Goebel and offered to bet large
sums of money that Goebel would be as
assinated before he reached the guber-
Material chair. He said near relative of

God be thanked, although we also had

are the concluding words of the official
dispatch from Pretoria announcing the

conflict is by no means so cne-sidci as
the fippant dispatch writer's of the Trans

believe. The story of the shrapnel ball
dropping into Commandant Both.l's pocket
and the persistent efforts to minimize the
