CHICAGO, October 19-This evening
the Right Rev. Bishop Fowler, of Buff
falo, n. Y, spoke to great assemblage
in the auditorium under the auspices Of
the Marquette Club, ON Lincoln and
Mckinley" The bishop spoke for two
hours, holding the close attention OF
his hearers. AT times the applause was
tremendous.
Bishop Fowler said, in part:
II am invited here to talk under the
auspices of the Marquette Club upon
two providential men, Lincoln and Nc
Kinley. In coupling these names in
this order, we are following the logical
order; from knowledge to faith; from
that which we know to that which we
believe; all men honor Lincoln to-day;
all men will honor Mckinley to-mor-
row.
Taking up the subject of expansion,
he said:
CAS- believer in American history,
| am an expansionist. 1t Is Republican
doctrine and Democratic practice. Ex-
pansion is the law of Saxon life. When
he accepted individual accountability
directly to God, without the interyen-
tion of any man. then God gave him re-
lance and sent him about the job of
subduing and saving the world and he
is out and at it. The effort to sweep
back the tide of the ocean is more GER
tain to win than the men who stake
their success fighting expansion; for
they are fighting not merely Mckinley
and the Rough Rider and the American
people. but they are also fighting the
resistless force running through all
ages of nature, the force of natural Sc
lection, and they are also fighting Gods
eternal purpose to elevate the races"

TICKET AND A BIG CON-
TRIBUTION.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. October H.
Mr. A. Maurice Low, the famous Wash
ington newspaper correspondent. and
representative of the Boston Globe. an
independent publication. to-day sends
his paper the following interesting in
formation:
If the gossip in political circles is to
be believed, the Republican campaign
managers have offered mighty bribe
for the support of the brewers.
1t is asserted that the brewers, who
under the war tax have to pay Sc a
barrel on their product. and who ever
since the law went into effect have
strenuously fought to have the tax
reduced, have been promised that IN
case Mr.. Mckinley is reelected their
wishes will be gratified and Congress at
the coming session will modify the in
ternal revenue law so as to cut the tax
in half.
For this concession the brewers, ac-
cording to the story now in circulation
in Washington. have been heavily
MIXED by the Republican campaign
collectors. and in addition to their cash
contributions have been made to bring
all their influence to bear, which in GER
tain States is enormous, to induce men
to vote the Republican ticket.

CHICAGO, October 19-S. I. Morris
was arrested this evening for an alleged
attempt upon the life of John w. Gates,
ex-president of the American Steel &
Wire Company When searched at the
police station, two large revolvers were
found concealed in his pockets.
1t is asserted that Morris also had
designs upon the life of w. j. Crimson,
general manager of the Kansas City &
Southern railroad, whom Morris, it is
alleged, had enticed to this city by
means of telegram purporting to have
been signed by Gates, but which he
himself had sent
Manager Crimson arrived at the
Grand Pacific hotel to-day in accord
ance with the appointment made in the
telegram.
Failing to find Mr. Gates, he called
upon him in his Office in the Rockery
building. After a hasty consultation,
the two men decided that Morris origi-
mated the scheme, both having receiv-
ed threatening letters from him.
Morris was captured near the offices
Of the Illinois Steel Company in the
Rookery building. He was formerly
in the employ of Gates, and maintains
that the latter owes him $4,000.
Tenants Of the Rookery are said to
have overheard the prisoner making
threats to kill Mr.. Gates and the two
men refrained from going to luncheon
at the Grand Pacific hotel, where, ac-
cording to the telegram, they were to
have met. Instead, the attorneys for
Mr.. Gates, with offices in the same
building, were notified, and they at
once despatched a messenger to detec-
tive headquarters and asked Captain
Colleran's assistance. When taken in
to the chief of detectives Office, Morris
could apparently give no ineligible
explanation of the affair and refused
to ign any reason for being in pos

MANY STRONG POINTS
Brought Out by Mr.. Bryan in a Brief
Speech at SOIvay.

AUBURN, n. Y, October 19.-Mr Bry-
ans first stop of the day was made at Sol
way, suburb of Syracuse. Several hun
dred people had congregated at the rail-
road station and all of them listened atten-
lively while he talked to them five or ten
minutes. Despite the fact that he had
made twenty speeches yesterday, Mr.
Bryan was in splndid voice and his words
rang clear upon the crisp morning air.
He made no more direct reference to the
great salt interests of this place than to
say that he did not know enough about
the local conditions to be able to discuss
the things that his auditors were thinking
about
In connection with trusts, he said:
Il do not believe that it is a good thing
for Ireland to have a few landlords and
the rest of the people tenants. Neither do
l believe that it will be a good thing in
this country to have a few men standing
at the head of great industries and all
the rest merely clerks under these indus
tries"
He again referred to the increase in the
size of the standing army and said that
upon the present basis of 100000 soldiers,
less than S75, ,000 year for the military
establishment, or an average OF one dollar
for each individual or five dollars for each
family. Taking up the Philippine ques-
ton, Mr.. Bryan said that the Republican
party was promising ito be good to the
Filipinos.'
That" he said. SIS what every king
promises to his subjects On this subject
he further said:
when the Republicans tell you that
there is going to be a great profit in the
exploitation of the Philippine islands, you
tell them that every dollar of money sent
from this country to exploit the Philip
pine islands will be taken out of the avail
able money in this country, for the estab-
lishment of industries here, and every time
we send over and establish big plant
there we make it less likely that a big
plant will be established here; and if we
allow those people to come over here.
they will bring in their oriental manners.
and we will have the same question on
hand that we had in the Chinese ques-
tion."

women were prevailed upon by a mix
ture of persuasion and threats to take
it in.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for about an hour.
He was received with rousing cheer,

ley had formerly stood on that question
and that his (Mr. Bryan's) position on
that and all other questions was ex-

While Mr.. Bryan was talking, another
picture of the President was hung out
from a window by another batch of
school girls. This bore the inscription,
Mckinley was right" The appearance
of the poster called forth renewed shouts
both of derision and approval, but Mr..
Bryan said he had no objection to the
poster. Il only want you to ask your
selves" he said, when Mckinley was
right, for he has been on both sides
of every question that has ever come to

With this the young ladies allowed
the poster 20 drop, and it foated out
over the crowd When Mr.. Bryan

read by Rev. Thomas A Johnson, for
merly pastor of the Baptist church at
Lexington, Virginia but now of Hagers-
