Semi-OmciaI Statement Regarding
AnEIo-German Agreement
Made by Portugal.

Lisbon, Jan. s.-A semi-official note
to the press regarding the Anglo-Ger-
man agreement has just been is
sued. 1t is as follows:
"The British and German governments
having previously reached an agreement
between themselves. informed Portugal
that in the event of her contracting large
loan for the purpose of reorganizing her
finances, the two governments were dis
posed to guarantee the success of the OPP
Grafton. AT the same time the govern
ments of Great Britain and Germany as
sured Portugal that the basis of the agree
raent between them was the recognition OF
the integrity of the Portuguese colonial
dominions and the legitimacy of Portu-
guese sovereignty over the Portuguese
possessions. They further suggested that
in the event of Portugal accepting pro-
posal concerning a loan the latter should
be guaranteed by the colonial and GUS
toms receipts. The Portuguese govern
ment then declared that 1t had no need
of such loan and. according to our in
formation. has no such need to the pres
ent Cay."

BRYAN IN CHICAGO.
cies of the Administration mt n
jackson Day Banquet.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Jackson day was
celebrated by the William j. Bryan
league at the fremont house Satur-
day night. The celebration began
early and ended long after mid
night with the closing address
of William Jennings Bryan. Other
speakers were Mayor Harrison, Joseph
B. Doe, of Wisconsin; Thomas f. Bark
worth, of Michigan, and James II. Null
ligan, of Kentucky. EX-Gov. Altgeld
was not in attendance. a synopsis of
Col. Bryan's remarks follows:
He declared that the reason the oppo-
nents of Imperialism sympathized with
the Beers was not because England
was the aggressor. but because of the
American belief in the American charter OF
liberty.
In his attack on the currency bill which
is pending in the senate Col. Bryan eNcori-
ated the republican party for its alliance
with the banking interests and declared
that the bill. as passed by the house, would
have condemned the republican party 10
overwhelming defeat IL it had been pro-
posed by the president in his letter of ac-
ceptance. Mr.. Bryan added that the cur
rency bill would fssten on to the United
States the financial systems of the old
world and would subject the people OF this
country TO all the disturbances which af-
feet them, while II places the control of the
volume of paper money in the hands OF a
bank trust which would be as merciless TO
the people of this country as was Weyler
to the reconcentrados.
On the subject of trusts Col. Bryan had
little TO say that has not been covered In
his former speeches. He insisted, how
ever, that the republican party would be
unable to enact efficient antitrust laws,
ant that the trusts would play fast and
loose with present trust laws until the peo.
pie forced a remedy.
Mr. Bryan insisted that the increased
production of gold had shown the wisdom
of the quantitative theory of money ad-
vanced by the democratic party in 1896. and
had answered the argument that the parity
between gold and silver could not be main
tained because of the overproduction OF

TWO MEAN TOWNS.
tories Told by Travelling Men About
n Couple OF Decidedly Poor
Places to Live In.
They were talking about bad town.. :.

They were talking about bad towrx..
The meanest place l ever was III" said
the man who travels for Chicago house, ''is
down in Massachusetts, Say, do you know
what happened while | was stopping there
once? A man had fallen through hole in
the sidewalk and sustained injuries that re-
suited in the loss of his right arm. He sued
the city for damages, and the case was tried
before a jury, which, the papers said, was
composed of representative citizens. Well,
what do you suppose they did to him?
Brought in verdict in favor of the city,
holding that inasmuch as he was eft-handed
his injury didn't amount to anything"
Yes" the cigar man said, that pretty
mean town, admit, but know of worse
one: This place is in Pennsylvania. An ac..
quaintance of mine down there was injured
some time ago in pretty much the same way
the man you mentioned got hurt. He fell on
bad sidewalk and lost one of his legs. He
sued the city, and didn't get anything. 1
never heard just why, but probably because
the Jurors didn't believe he neededV1ore than
one leg in his business, seeing that he was
a barber and couldn't hone a razor or shave
a man with his foot anyway. But wait, /
haven't come to the point at which the real
meanness developed. Being poor man, he
couldn't afford to buy cork leg, so he had
to get along with wooden peg, and one day
while he was crossing the principal street
this peg in some way got wedged between
couple of paving stones right in the middle OF
the street car track. 1t took them nearly an
hour to get him loose, and what do you sup
pose happened then? Blamed if they didn't

GRAND JURY ADJoURNS.
More Indictments Are Returned
Against Michigan State
Omcin1s.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. S.-After seven
weeks hard work the Ingham county
grand jury, which has been investi-
eating charges of official corruption
in state offices, was discharged at
noon Saturday. The net known result
of the investigation is the indictment
of IL persons, nine of whom are now
holding or have recently held offices
under the state government. The fol-
lowing are the persons who have been
indicted and the offenses alleged:
Edgar ]. Adams, speaker of the house OF
representatives; two indictments for
bribery.
William A. French. state land commits
sioner: Offering bribes.
Charles II. Pratt, agent for law book
concern; Offering bribes.
ID. Judson Hammond. of Pontiac, state
representative; soliciting bribes.
Fred A. Maynard, ex-attorney general:
misdemeanor in retaining portion of his
chief clerks salary.
Will l.. White, state quartermaster gen.
eral.
Col. Harold A. Smith, assistant quarter
master.
Arthur F. Marsh, adjutant general and
chairman of the republican state central
committee.
Eli r. Sutton, regent of the University OF
Michigan and member of Gov. Pingree's
military staff; charged with fraud and en-
bezzlement in connection with sale and al
legged repurchase of military supplies.
One person besides Sutton was in
dicted Saturday, but his name is not
positively known as yet. These will
be arraigned to-day. All the others
appeared for arraignment except Gen.
White, who has disappeared. All the
military men indicted were appointeea
of the governor, but it is regarded as
settled that the governor had no
knowledge of the alleged frauds. The
eleventh person under indictment,
against whom true bill was returned
Saturday is thought to be j. II.
Brown, of Battle Creek, president of
the state live stock commission, who
was accused by another member of
the commission of defrauding the
state by putting in bills for work
never performed. The grand jury evil
IDENTIFY reconsidered its determination
to indict other persons, not officials
of the state, who were instrumental
in defrauding the state in the mill
tary supplies transactions. These in
dividuals reside at Kalamazoo. and
they gave valuable testimony tending
to establish the guilt of military Off.
cials.
