speeches since the Mckinley administra-
tion first evinced disposition to plunge
into the mysteries of Imperialism. 1t has
made hit in Washington. The Demo-
Gratis are overjoyed, the Republicans en-
Vious and sullen.
Administration Republicans had hoped
that Mr.. Bryan would blunder, and ex-
pose himself to the fire of their sharp
shooters. He has disappointed them.
They were led to believe that he would
insist upon laying more stress than he
did upon the Chicago platform. In the
light of the declaration on Puerto Rico,
the Philippines, Imperialism and militar-
ism, they are convinced against their will
that sixteen to one was purposely forced
into the background, where 1t is destined
to remain until the close of the coming
campaign. Curiously enough, this feature
Of the Bryan platform, as the Nebraska
declaration of principles is being called
in Washington, IS gratifying to nine out

tions and was opumistical in Its deduc-

and Christian science and to books that
dealt with religious problems showed, the
speaker thought, that the people were be-
ginning to take more profound interest
In all things that touched upon divinity,
and though they might be misled at first
this seeking after the truth could only
bring the best results.
A resolution presented by g. r. Lathrop
recommended change of the probation

was filed for future consideration The

NO SIGN OF PROGRESS
IN SOUTH AFRICA
Continued From First paee.

sentative Of the Associated Press today
he said:
Nothing could have exceeded the hos
p1tahty and warmth with which the
American DOCTORS nurses and attendants
were received in South Africa, The
stories OF internal dissensions on the
Maine, are quite unbiased. Lady Randolph
Churchill antagonized no one. On the
contrary, 1t was owing to her tact that
several little threatened annoyances were
avoided.
Perhaps our most remarkable case was
that of an officer of the Gordon High
landers, who was shot clean through the
brain and has completely recovered on
board the ship
Mauser wounds in the intestines, which
from the Springfield or Remington
would surely have been fatal, healed
without operation. 1 had seen similar
cases in the Philippine islands and avoid
ed operations upon such wounds with sue
cess. the Mauser wound being so clean
and small that it heals best when left
alone.
Il have seen no cases of explosive bull
lets, and believe the reports that Beers
are using such bullets are exaggerated.
From my experience in Manila and South
Africa 1 believe 1t is almost impossible to
distinguish between the explosive bullet
and that Of the ordinary Mauser when
the latter is fired at point blank range"
