BILLY RYAN HERE.
Syracuse Boxer Wants to Meet Nj
CIelland Or Either of the Gardeners.

Syracuse Boxer Wants to Meet Me-
CIelland or Either of the Gardeners.
Billy Ryan, of Syracuse, N. Y, the
plucky little boxer, VINO had Oscar
Gardner going in Cleveland last June,
but who was sent to Copeland by a
swing on the jaw-the only defeat IN
his career-arrived in the city yester-
day afternoon. He comes to Wheel
ing for the purpose of trying to get on
a match with Jack McClelland, or
either Eddie or Oscar Gardner. He
says he is open to meet any 1872 pound
man in the world, and he has a record,
Notwithstanding he is but % years OF
age, which entities him to match
with any of the top-notchers in his
class.
Ryan has defeated Jack McClelland
twice, securing the decision over him In
Syracuse and Utica, N. Y. McClel-
land professed to be anxious for an
other meeting, and he is now given an
opportunity, as the M. A. G. officials
will endeavor to arrange match to
follow the bout next of Monday night.
Ryan fought twenty round draw with
Jack Hamilton, and has defeated rom
my Sullivan and other good ones.
He was to have been matched with
Gardner in Cleveland, o., when their
previous battle was fought, but arriv-
ed too late. and the Cleveland club
officials substituted the name OF KID
Broad. Broad has not yet signed ar
ticles, however. and there is an under
standing that if he does not do so by
Thursday of this week, the match will
be made for October End, between Ryan
and Gardner.

Many NOVEL FLOATS
WILL FORM A FEATURE OF THE
GERMAN-AMERICAN CELE-
BRATION IN OCTOBER.
FINE MUSICAL PROGRAMME
viii Also BE Rendered by a Monster
Chorus, Representing the German
singing Societies of Wheeling and
OTHER PIaces-Other Arrangements
For the Coming Notable Event.

While no definite arrangements have
yet been made for the proposed Ger
man-American celebration on OCTOBER
9Th, to commemorate the Landing OF
Pastorius, the first German settler on
American soil, it is very likely that the
features will consist principally of a
street parade of a novel and interest
ing nature and an outing. 1t Is the
intention to provide for long string
of floats in the procession represent
ing various industries. There will like
ly be displays of the nail industry,
sheep raising, sheep shearing and the
spinning, weaving and knitting OF
wool.
A series of floats will be in line, rep
resenting the more important scenes
and incidents in the history of Ger
many during the period from 10 to II,
with characters impefsonating EN-
peror William, Emperor Frederick, the
present Emperor, Bismarck, Moltke and
others. One Of the most picturesque
floats will he in the shape of boat
portraying the landing of Pastorlus, the
first German settler, who founded Ger
mantown, which Is now Incorporated
as a part of Philadelphia, Pa.
Pastorius first touched American SOIL
on October 9th. but the local organlza-
ton has found that the 9Th of the sec
ond fall month of this year is the
day nearest the exact date for most
conveniently oserving the occasion.
Other floats will represent German
farming industries in this country.
The new and old fair grounds, the
city building and Mozart Park are I'M
der consideration for the outing to foi-
low the street demonstration and the
new fair grounds may be decided upon
as the most advantageous place for this
feature. The programme will lnclude
three addresses, two in German ana one
in English, by prominent members OF
different German-American societies;
selections by a monster chorus COM
posed of all the German singing socle-
ties of Wheeling and neighDorlng
places and also an orchestra, consist
ing of musicians of Wheeling and Bel
Iaire. under the direction Of Prof. E.
w. Spell There will be at least a
dozen bands in the procession.
A meeting of Beethoven Singing So
ciety was held last evening to arrange
for the coming festivities and elected
additional delegates to the meeting
called for Thursday night. Those
chosen were Fred. Schnepf, Joseph
Korn and C. #. Biery. Previously A. A.
Schramm was the only delegate from
this society. He was also appointed
a qnerlber Of the executive committee.
At the delegates meeting Thursday
night every society of this city and Vi
cinqty will be represented and definite
arrangements will be made for the eel
ebration.

reason why they should not, and that
will be long while.
THE Republicans are now boasting

regard that as an evidence OF prosperity.
Why should any man send his money
to Europe for investment If he could
find place in this country to invest 1t?
Money sent abroad for investment must
be sent for one of two reasons-either
because the man who sends the money
over there thinks more of the people
over there than he does of the people
here, and does 1t for love and devotion.
or because it is matter of business
that is, because he can invest 1t to bet

Mr.. Bryan was also greeted by good
crowds at Pierce City and Sarcoxie,

About one hundred foreign-speaking
miners left Hazelton to-day for New
York, where they will take steamer for
Europe. These men expect long strike,
and rather than remain idle here, they
prefer to go to their former homes.
President Mitchell tonight gave out
the following:
Information received up to this
time indicates that $4,000 mine work
ers are on strike in the anthracite
regions. Of this number 10000 are in
District No. /, 10000 in District No. 9
and 10000 in District No. T.
Reports received here are to the eff
feet that large numbers of those who
went to the mines to-day will join in
the suspension tomorrow.
Eve feel confident that the entire
number of men employed in and about
the coal mines of the anthracite dis
trict will be idle in the next few days.
'@The men appear determined to con-
tinue on strike until their demands for
justice have been acceded to.
THE number of men now out on
strike exceeds that of any other indus
trial contests in the history Of our
country

GALENA, Kans., September I'M.
Bryan addressed large crowd here,
speaking from an elaborate and beau
tifully decorated stand erected at the
intersection Of two streets. The crowd
extended we'll up and down each street
and not only filled the adjoining yardS
but covered many of the house tops.
Mr. Bryan made a general review of
the political issues. He took up the
Philippine question at the outset de-
claring in this connection that the
Democrats were quoting the declara-
ton of independence more in this
campaign than the Republicans were.
He repeated his former declaration
that the Common soldier suffers great
err hardsnips than the officers and made
an appeal for the soldier vote. Il be-
lieve," he said, that the Democratic
party can be trusted to do justice to
the soldiers and their dependents, and
| am satisfied from all that have heard
that if | am elected. l shall be able
to find a commissioner Of pensions who
will be as satisfactory as the present
ore
He continued on this point:
why should not a soldier support the
Democratic ticket? The questions at
issue in this campaign are those which
concern the very foundation of prin-
ciples of this government. The soldier
was willing to fight four years to apply
the Declaration Of Independence to a
black man, why should he not be will
ing to vote once to apply the Declara-
ton of Independence to brown man?
II believe that the soldiers interests
are safer in the hands Of people who be-
lieve in small standing army and a
citizen soldiery than they will be in the
hands of those who believe in a large
standing army. If you have a large
standing army to run your expenses up
to 800, 100000 a year, and increase the
expense of the war department of the
army, you will find that the great cor
porations will prefer to reduce the ap-
preparations for pensions rather than
| the appropriations for the standing ar
my. The nations that have large ar
mics are the least liberal with their
pensions, and the nation that relies
most upon its citizen soldiery is the ma
ton that is the most liberal in provid-
ing for its soldiers whenever they suffer
| in the army.
| Mr. Bryan made his familiar argu-
ment against trusts and Imperialism.
In closing, he asserted that all wars of
conquest were the result of covetous-
ness, and he warned the country of the
| fate of Nahab when he coveted Ma
| boths vineyard. 1t was, he said, bias.
phemy to say that God, the same yes
| terday, to-day and forever should pro-
tect us in our efforts to tax the Filipi-
nos without giving them representation
| when we had depended upon that same
divine assistance when we made war
upon England for denying us represen-
| tation while insisting upon taxing US.
