Gov. Roosevelt Makes This Charge
Against the Nebraskan.
CITES ALLUSIONS TO PORTO RICO
He Reiterates the Statement to
All of His Audiences.
TOUR OF CENTRAL NEW YORK

NORWICH. N. Y. October 24.-Gov.
Roosevelt. the third day of his second cleo
toneering tour of New York state, arose
about s o'clock and breakfasted at 9. He
was in good health, and suffered only a
little from hoarseness. The days trip,
which began at 10 o'clock, takes the vice
presidential candidate to Utica, stops being
made at Earlville, Casanova, Canastota,
Oneida and Rome. There will be stay of
two hours and a half at Utica in the after
noon, then a run to Herkimer, where
stop of twenty-five minutes will be made,
after which Gov. Roosevelt will return to
Utica for the big evening demonstration
At Earlvile where the first stop of the day
was made. the governor took up the state
ment of Mr.. Bryan that the people of Porto
Rico particularly the blacks, were disfran-
chised. He said:
Charges Bryan With Insfncerfty.
Il challenge Mr.. Bryan because of his
absurd insincerity, as shown in this state
by answers he made to certain questions
and by statements he has made as to us.
The other day Mr.. Bryan was asked how
he reconciled the demand for self-govern-
ment for Malay bandits with the denial of
his party. the denial of those who intend
to give him electoral votes. of the right of
lf-goVernment to our fellow citizens of
duskier skin in North Carolina and he an
SWered that every not allowed to
vote in Porto Rico; that all men of color
were not allowed to vote in Porto Rico
Now, | say that answer was utterly insin-
cere; that, using the word dishonest in it's
larger sense. 1t was not an honest answer
That IS serious thing to say. and | would
not 8 y it if ! could not prove it by docu-
menf iry evidence. Mr.. Bryan either knows
or ought to know the qualifications of the
suffrage in Porto Rico. There is not in
Porto Rico the slightest restriction on ac-
count of color. Every man IS treated on his
worth d man. In North Carolina the
black man IS diSfranchiSed as such by quail
ifications that apply to him and not to the
white man. In Porto Rico a man is allowed
to vote. l have got here papers issued by
the governor of Porto Rico. setting forth
the qualifications of voters.
Qualifications of Voters.
'If he either possess any property or can
read and write, whether he is white or col
ored. In Massachusetts he has got to be
able to read and write. That Is, there are
men who cannot vote In ssachusetts, but
who can vote in Porto Rico; but any man
who can vote in Massachusetts can vote in
Porto Rico In short, the present condi-
tions Of suffrage in Porto Rico represent a
stride toward enfranchsement"
Gov. Roosevelt took particular delight
along the route today in asserting that Mr..
Bryan was absolutely insincere, as was
proven, ne alleged, by the fact that the
state Of Nebraska had labor laws, and
that Mr.. Bryan while in Congress never at
tackled a trust.

Ing the AnglO-G ermnn Agreement.


In view Of the widespread comment that
the Arglo-German alliance concerning
China was open to the possible construc-
ton of an implied or indirect menace or
threat against some other power interested
in the Chinese question, the attention Oh
Count de Quadt the German charse
daffares, was today drawn to the point
which has aroused so much discussion
Count de Quadt said he did not wish TO
publicly discuss a matter of that character,
vet in view of the misapprehenslon "hlcn
had got about he was able to give a cafe
gorical and very positive statement, on the
highest authority, that the, agreement IN
volved no menace whatever to any power
concerned in China.
Without going into details as to any par
ticular power, he said, that statement ap-
piled to all the parties which had taken a
hand in Chinese affairs. Moreover. Count

that there was no foundation Tor reports
that there was any further or additional
features to the agreement beyond those

RATIoNs FOR MARINES AT CAvITE.
They Can He Purchased From the
Naval stores.

According to AN opinion Of the assistant
controller of the treasury Mr.. Mitchell, the
marines at Cavite have been having hard
time about getting ra,ions. According to
decisions heretofore made, the marines
were allowed navy ratiens when serving on
shpboard but when on shore duty were on
the same footing soldier of the army,
and drew the supplies of soldier. AT Ca
vite, however, the commissary department
of the army appears to have been unable
to supply the rations, leaving the marine
corps to hustle as best it could For long
time the corps bought supplies from difer-
ent places. sometimes from naval stores.
The native contractors could not be de-
pended on to furnish supplies, being worth
less. Mr.. Mitchell comes to the rescue OF
titled to purchase supplies from the naval
stores thereby relieving the situation at
Cayite.

MONEY SCARCE IN SWEDEN.
Manufacturers and Business Men
Comnlain of StrimEemcN.

LONDON, October PA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Stockholm, Sweden, says:
THE extraordinary scarcity of money,
which has been growing more acute for a
month, is so seriously affecting commercial
circles as to threaten crisis, The balance
of foreign trade continues against Sweden
and the repeated contraction Of gold loans
abroad fail to palliate the situation. In
dustries are daily launched, but adequate
capital is not available, and the newspapers
are filled with appeals from manufacturers
in desperate straits for money.
Rural people attracted by the industrial
activity are fiocking to the towns and, con-
sequently, the demand for houses Is so
great that rents have advanced 70 to ~
per cent. The civil servants have already
been granted 20 per cent increase in pay to
meet the hard times and it Is expected en-
ployers generally will have to follow suit.

Mr.. Hamaun, at the request of Mr..
Kane, made statement. He said be

authority to pursue the course he had
adopted, and as there was contro-
versy over the money and he did not
know where it properly belonged, he
had decided to place it in separate
account to remain to his credit until
he knew where to place IL.
At the request of Mr.. Kane, Clerk
Morrison read the following from the
law governing the actions of the city
| treasurer:
IAN moneys belonging to the city
which shall come into the hands Of the

posted, every day, in some incorporated

shall be deposited in tho name of the
Mayor and Council of Wilmington for
the special purpose or use for which
the debt was authorized and shall only
be drawn out for such special purpose
or use."
After il had been read, Mr.. Kane
said the treasurer had no right to de-
pcsit money belonging to the city te
his own account, and IL he did not de-
posit it daily to the credit of the Mayor

PEELED to take some action.

WHY AUDITOR HOLDS THE MONEY.
Because He Has Been Ordered to Do So by
CITY Council

Because He Has Been Ordered to Do So by
City Council
Some city officials were discussing
the controversy between City Council
and the Street and Sewer Department.
over certain moneys Friday morning and
the question was asked, by what
authority Auditor Pyle is retaining
some money received from wharf rents.
which is usually Immediately delivered
to the treasurer.
Subsequently, reporter Of the
Gazette visited Auditor Pyle's office
and asked for information on the sub
ject from Mr.. Pyie's clerk, John Boueh-
man, Mr.. Pyle being out at tie time
MIR. Boughman replied that the money
was retained because Council had
ordered Mr.. Pyle not to doliver it to the
treasurer unless he could be assured
that it was to be deposited to the
credit of Council, and there was moth
ing contrary to this course in the
charter or ordinances, provided the
money is not retained too long. The
charter requires monthly statements
