BRYAN COMES DOWN THE BAY.
he Speaks on Trusts and the Race Question at
Eastern Shore Towns
(By the Associated Press.)

Easton, Nd, Oct. 24.-The Demo-
cratic Presidential candidate last
night abandoned railway coaches and
other landcarriages, for trip on the
water. He came down Chesapeake
Bay from Baltimore to the hamlet of
Claibourne, on the eastern shore of
Maryland, and he devoted the day to
canvassing that section of the State
He left the boat at Claibourne, and
from that point travelled by special
train. At ST. Michaefs, the first stop
ping place of the day, Mr.. BRYAN
spoke to small number OF people
who had congregated there Among
those in the crowd were some colored
people and to them Mr.. Bryan adj
dressed himself to some extent. Be
fore speaking to colored people, he
referred to the question of trusts. He
again charged that the Republican
party was suggesting no remedy for
the trusts, and that the reason why
this was so was that the Republican
campaign contribution came from the
trusts.
On the race question Mr.. Bryan
said: ut is one of the strange things
we see in this campaign that the Re
publican party goes to a black man
and urges that man to say by his
vote that the brown man in the Phil
lppine islands has not IL right to a
voice in this government. And it
seems to me that before black man
votes to disfranchise a brown man he
had better find out upon what basis
his own right stands, for If we deny
to the Filipino the right to govern
himself, what right have we to gov
ern ourselves. 1t cost hundreds of
thousands of lives and millions of
money to give the black man the De-
claration of Independence, and now
we are spending hundreds and thous-
ands, yes, millions of dollars and
wasting lives to take the Declaration
of independence away from the brown
man. Before the black men of this
country, vote the Republican ticket
they had better look into the matter
and find out what the chance of the
black man is 10 be when we draw a
race line and say that because man
in the Philippine islands is brown
and not Of our race we will send a
carpet bag government over there and
hold the government of force over
them by a standing army. We believe
in the Declaration of independence,
and if we have a race problem to
solve here we think it is better to
solve this than TO go seven thousand
miles away from home to get another
race problem and enter upon it's solu-
ton
Easton was the scene of large
gathering. This is the county seat of
Talbot county, an important agricul-
tural center, and here Mr.. Bryan adj
dressed himself TO the farmer. Re
ferring to the trusts Mr.. Bryan told
his hearers that they were especially
to the farming community.

Cities of Hill Show Hold Cut
Against Rebels.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 24.-In view
or the widespread comment that the
Anglo-German alliance concerning
China was open to the possible con-
struction of an implied or Indirect
menace or threat against some other
power interested in the Chinese cues
ton, the attention of Count De Ouadt,
the German Charge D'Affairs, today
was called to this point. Count De
Quadt, said that he was able to give
categorical and very positive state
ment and of highest authority. that
the agreement involved no menace
whatever to any power concerned in
China. He said this applied to all the
parties which had taken a hand in
Chinese affairs. Count De Quadt
stated with equal positivcness that
there was no foundation for reports
of further or additional features to
the agreement, beyond those trans
mitted to the various governments,
and made public. He said that docul
ment covered the entire transaction.
Based on General Chaffee's advice,
the opinion that all of the American
troops included in the order of evac-
uation have not only left Pekin, but
probably are now at Tien Tsin or
nearby. The Quartermaster's Depart
ment has made all arrangements for
taking them aboard ship, so there is
no longer much danger of the troops
being prevented by ice from leaving
north China. 1t is now said that in
all probability General James ii. Will
son, the second in command in China,
will soon be detached. and will not
remain in Pellin according to the orig
inal program. Instead of having the
negotiations for final settlement
conducted through a fully organized
commission on behalf of the United

ed it begins to appear that they will

PATRICK's COUNSEL ARGUES.
Contends There is no Evidence of Attempt to
Defraud.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct 24.-The examination
Of Albert T. Patrick and Chas. F. Jones,
attorneys and valet, respectively, of the
late millionaire, VIM. Marsh Rice, who
are accused of forging a 900 check
which they tried to cash at Swenson and
sens office, was resumed today. Mr..
House, for the defense, made a formal
motion to dismiss. He contended that
there had been no evidence introduced to
show that the signature of the $25, 900
check had been forged; that there was
no competent evidence, that it was not
the signature of Mr.. Rice; that assum-
ing it TO be forgery, there was no evil
dence that either Patrick or Jones forged
it, and that the presentation of the
check at the bank of Swenson and Sons
did not constitute an attempt to utter
the check within the meaning of the law,
and that there was no evidence of an
intent to defraud. Inasmuch as nothing
had been proven that the State had at
tempted to prove he made separate mo-
lions of dismissal of the complaints
against both defendants asking for their
discharge from custody. Magistrate
Brann reserved decision until tomorrow.

THE MAINE TO BE REMOVED
The Wreck is an Obstruction to Navigation in
Havana Harbor.
(By the Associated Press.l

Washington, d. c., Oct 24.-The battle
ship Maine is to be removed from Havana
harbor, as it is considered an obstruc-
ton to navigation Several times since
the close of the Spanish war. there has
been talk of raising the wreck, but it has
been postponed from time to time for
various reasons. Now General Wood
considers that the removal of this OBJ
struction to navigation has become i'm
perative. 1t is sinking deeper and deep
er into the mud of the harbor. and the
longer the work is delayed. the more
difficult 1t will be of accomplishment.
Today General Wood saw the Secretary of
the Navy, and after laying the matter be-
fore him in detail, secured the Secretary's
consent for the removal of the wreck.
The work will be undertaken Immediately
upon General Woods return to Havana,
which will be within the next week.

If you ask me to construe a Republi-

BRYAN ASKS FIVE QUESTIONS.
Having replied TO the questions,
Mr.. Bryan then propounded some of
his own. He said:
Now | want to ask five question,
and when | ask these questions | want
some responsible man to answer them.
1T is hardly fair for a man who has no
responsibility placed upon him by a
party, and l want your party leaders
to answer the questions that | am
going to ask Mr.. Bryan then quoted
from the Presidents message of De-
cemDer 3, 1898, recommending the in
crease of the army to 10000 and asked
II the republican party through any
one authorized to speak will declare
mat Republican success this fall

The second question was: eff the
Declaration of independence is true
that governments derive their lust
power from the consent of the gov
erned, want to ask how you can buy
the right to govern people, or secure
title to them by force?''
The third question was: SIS the
Filipino going to be a citizen or a
subiect?"
The fourth question was: Can YOU
purchase trade with human blood?"
The fifth question related to the es-
adjustment Of a protectorate in the
Philippine islands, concerning which
Mr.. Bryan said:
Republicans say that we cannot
protect the Filipino without a great
deal of trouble. We have protected
the republics of Central and South
America for seventy-five years, and
we have had no authority in those
South African republics. We have
never governed them, but we have
protected them from outside Interior
ence. 1T has never cost anything but
it has been valuable to them.
THE Republican doctrine is the
doctrine behind which the monarchies
of the world have hidden when they
have wanted to plumber people under
the pretense of protecting them. Ours
is different protectorate" Conclud-
ing his presentation of these inquiries.
Mr.. Bryan said: when the Repub-
leans get through arguing those five
questionsI will have some more for
them. The trouble is that the Repub-
lican party is not attempting to meet
the issues of this campaign" Mr..
Bryan then took up the various other
questions involved in the campaign.
