Frankfort. KY, Jan. 6.-The senate

the rules for government of the two
houses IN joint session prepared by the

fathered BY the committee on rules,
were reported and adopted after a bit

The an6-Goebel Democrats in the
house 50 far have not shown their hand
and have acquiesced in everything pro-

the fight against the rules as proposed
by the sGuate, ana the fight will at
least be MADE interesting.
The chief feature of the rules is that
the speaker of the house is made the

Jackson Day Observed by
Banquet in Chicago.
MANY DEM0CRATSTHERE
MAYOR HARRISON ACTED as
POSTMASTER.
Silver Leader Speaks ca the Currency
Bill and Says Control Of Paper
Money Is Given to Bank Trust
Fight for Bimeta1lism Not Yet
Lost

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Six hundred Demo-
Gratis gathered in the banquet hall of
the fremont House tonight to observe
Jackson day" in an appropriate man
ner. William Jennings Bryan was the
.honored guest and chief orator of the
occasion. The commencement OF the
banquet was late and it was nearly
midnight when the orators were in full
swing Mr.. Bryan's address was the
last on the list.
Mayor Harrison of Chicago acted as
tOastmaster. OF the pending currency
bill Mr.. Bryan said:
THE currency bill fastens US to the
financial systems OF the old world and
subjects US to all the disturbances
which affect them. while it places the
control of the volume Of paper money
in the hands of a bank trust, which
will be as merciless to the people Of this
country as Weyler was 10 the recon
centrados,
THE fight for bimetalism at the
ratio of 16 to l has not been lost. The
increased production Of gold has shown
the advantage Of more money and has
answered the argument so often made
that the parity could not be MAIN
tanned because Of the production
of silver"
No Hope From Republicans.
He declared. that the Republican
party is unable to enact and enforce ef-
ficient antitrust laws, and that the
Democratic party when in power viii
meet the issue with a plain and positive
remedy. On the subject Of imperial
ism he said:
THE question Of Imperialism viii oc-
cupy a prominent place in the next
campaign. Tt matters not whether the
war in the Philippines ends in the near
future or continues until election. The
people must determine the policy TO be
pursued in regard to the F'iiipinos- That
policy must contemplate the ultimate
independence of the FiiDinOs or their
permanent retention under American
sovereignty If the islands are to be
retained permanently, the inhabitants
must be given the hope of full citizen
ship or they must be condemned to the
lot of subjects, Who desires to ADMIT
them to share and share alike with us
in the destiny Of this republics"
The entire policy of the admiMstra-
ton in relation TO the Philippines he
declared to be utterly wrong His
speech was received with great enthu-
siaSm.

have labored have been demonstrated
repeatedly. At Elanslaagte TWO off
GERS and Two men of the First field bat
terry were wounded at a range beyond
Tnat at which they could fire shrapnel.
Except IN reconnaissance our field
guns are useless as long as the siege
lasts. The BOer shrapmel is fused for
5.2OG-yards, whereas our fuse ceases to
be effective at 400 yards.
The meaning Of this viii be clear
when I say that FOR ], 100 yards or near
y three-Quarters of a mile, our artil-
lery are exposed 10 the fire of practi-
caliy invisible enemy without being
able to fire a really effective shot in
selt-defense- in other words, our guns
would never get within effective range
Of a French or German field battery.
We must have q gun shat VIII shoot
with much greater accuracy at 5000
yards and fuse that is effective at
5000 or 5000 yards. Our equipment is
unduly heavy. Our guns carry too
much weight. The double teams that
brought the Twenty-first battery to
Elanslaagte. a distance Of fifteen or
sixteen miles, had not an ounce left in
them.
Learn Valuable Lessons.
This is the first time the British
army mas raced modern drullefy, ana
the lessons to be learned viii be of the
greatest value. Already we have dis
covered that with the aid of smOkeless
powder and long ranges the enemy may
be invisible, and that when he is rain
ing shells and shot upon us, and that
days may pass without disclosing the
position Of some Of his guns and how
itZers.
The BOer has an advantage, if not
in his Mauser rifle. which many experts
in our army now declare to be more ac-
curate and trustworthy than the Lee
Metford, at any rate in the possession
of field glasses. There is scarcely q
man in the ranks who has not a power
ful binocular, by the aid of which he
is able TO make good shooting at extra
ordinary distances. Our equipment in
this respect is deficient, and should be
improved without delay"
