Audiences at the Corn Palace
Yesterday.


(From Saturdays Daily.l
Mitchell entertained about the larg-
est crowd Of people yesterday at the
corn palsoe and Bryan demosstratioa
that has ever before been her lot.
From the early morning hours until

band concerts at the exposition build
ing and three times during the day aad
evening was the immense building
packed to the doors.
The concert last evening was one Of
the best that has yet been given by
the band, and in spite Of the faot that
two long concerts had been given in
the afternoon it seemed to make no
difference with the vim and vigor with
which the musicians rendered all the
selections at the evening concert,
several encores being responded to in
addition to the program. Probably the
best number on the program was the
second selection, "The Merry Wives Of
Winsor," which brought out with vivid
effect the foundation on which the
music was written. Another selection
that appealed to the musical taste was
the two numbers ''Pagliacoi," and the
.Cavalleria Rusticana." The latter

BEGGING FOR MONEY.
Bryan Indulged in 4
Peculiar Action for His
Position.

The visit of William Jennings Bryan
made no spprsciable difference in the
political belief of the citizens Of this city
and county. People have had much
respect for the oratoricAl ability and in
telligence of Mr.. Bryan but they never
associated him with the ordinary stump
speaker Of the country. During the
course Of his remarks yesterday Mr..
Bryan resorted to something that was
far beneath the dignity of . candidate
for the presidency Of the United States.
In the course of his remarks on the
money question some snthustastic fus-
ionist tossed silver dollar into the
stand with which to increase the CAM
paign fund in this state. Mr.. Bryan
took occasion to turn . dollar over 70
the committee himself and at the same
time urged the democrats in the audi
encs 70 como to the rescue Of tho CAM
paign fund, that II was their duty to do
this In order that democracy might
win. A great many populists dis
approved of tho action Of the presiden-
ttal candidate in coming down to the
level Of the most ordinary campaign
speaker in thus soliciting funds for the
state campaign committee. 1t was re-
garded by them rs great mistake and
considered 1t entirely out of place for
them to be urged by their presidential
candidate cough up for the campaign
fund. Before the speaking was begun
some of the more Jealous leaders went
throughthe crowd with their hats TAX
ing up acollection for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of the day.

Concerts This Afternoon.

AT the conclusion OF the political
speaking the corn palace doors were
thrown open for the fret concert Of the
afternoon. It was but . few moments
before the immense building was
packed to the doors and the crowds out
on the street were struggling to gain
admission. The concert given by Prof.
Phinney and mis- band was more than
satisfying to the fully 1000 people in
the building. At the close of the pro-
gram the military drill was given and
the vast audience frequently applauded
the efforts of the young ladies as they
went through the intricate movements
of the drill.

The building was cleared OF the peo-

Washington, Feb. 28.-At the confer
ence Of house Republicans last night
on the Porto Rican tariff bill assur.
ances were given that the president
believed the measure constitutional,
and would approve it if it came 10 him,
and an agreement was reached to limit
the operation Of the bill to two years
and to reduce the duty imposed by it
from 25 to Is per cent Of the American
tariff. As a result the Republican
leaders claim that the bill will have
the support Of all the Republicans ex-
cept four, Messrs. Mccall Of Massa-
chusetts, Littlefield Of Maine, Lorimer
Of Illinois and Crumracker of Indiana,
and that this loss will be offset by af-
6rmative votes of the opposition. They
claim the passage of the modified bill
Is certain.
After the conference adjourned at IL
o'clock Chairman Cannon gave out the
following statement Of the amend
ments agreed upon by the conference:
"The conference requested the ways
and means committee to offer an
amendment to the bill as follows:
Amend the title to make it an act
temporarily to provide revenue for the
island Of Porto Rico and other pur-
poses and to add the following section:
This act shall be taken and held to be
provisional in it's purpose, intended to
meet a pressing, present need for reve-
IL for the island of Porto Rico, ana
is not to continue in force after March
1, 1902 These amendments were
adopted with practical unanimity. An
other to reduce the duty imposed by
the act from 25 to Is per cent was
adopted by a vote Of 1O5 to II. A
further amendment is to be offered by
the ways and means committee to
make it clear that no double duty is to
be imposed; that the payment of n
Internal revenue tax is the total tax
on importatlons."
