Senator's Speech cabled 10 Hong Kong
Junia and Thence 10 tiIipinos.

John Barrett, ex-United States min
ister TO Siam, Saturday night at Lake
Forest University. Chicago, publicly
named Senator Hoar as the u. s. SEN
ator whose anti-expansion speech was
cabled to Hong Kong and subsequently
put in the hands OF the Filipino soldiers,
causing, as Mr.. Barrett believed, the
open insurrection.
In the course Of his address. which
was on the general subjec, of the "phil-
ippines," the speaker said il had been
discovered in the government invcsti-
CATION that Senator Hoar's speech was
cabled in cipher and in fragments to
Paris, where il was put together and for
warded to Hong Kong. The message
included several thousand words, and
the cost for transmission was said to
have been $4,000. II interested the
Government to know what friends the
Filipinos had at this time who were in
position to send the message.
II was in Hong Kong at the time"
said Mr. Barrett, "and remember the
incident distinctly. ! was coming down
stairs in the hotel. when ] met the
president of the Hong Kong junta, and
he had in his hand the long dispatch he
had just received. II gave large part
of Senator Hoar's speech in full, and a
summary OF the rest OF it, ! asked the
president what he was going to do with
it, and he told me that he meant to send
il to the officers oi the army in the Phil
ippines. He was urged not to do it, but
he protested that it had been printed in
the United States and was public prop
erty.
-Four days after that speech had been
delivered il was in the hands OF those
who saw an opportunity to make pollt-
ical capital OF it. The speech was pub

China About Rsnkruni.

The latest official report upon the for

imports into that county which in 1868
were o4,o43ooo Haikwan taels we're in
1898 I5oo37, 900 Haikwan taels The i'm
ports from the United States, which in
1868 were $4,000 Haikwan taels. had
grown in 1893 to II,oS7.ooo Haikwan

Every year the value OF imports had
exceeded that OF exports, and for the
period of I836-o8 the excess of imports
over exports is 437,o27, ,67o taels, an an
nual average of about $4,000, 900 taels.
These figures have given rise in some
quarters to the belief that China is being
gradually denuded OF silver to pay for

BRYAN IN NEW YORK.



New York, Oct. 17.-William j.
Bryan arrived in this city at 1858
o'clock yesterday. His reception was
an emphatic ovation. As the train
steamed into the annex of the Grand
Central depot that part of the i'm
mense building was thronged with a
multitude. Mr. Bryan was driven to
the Hoffman house in an open car
riage in which he sat next to Richard
Croker and with uncovered head,
bowed and smiled to the thousands
who cheered him. Forty-second street
presented an animated scene. From
Lexington avenue on one side to
Sixth avenue on the other the side
walks were lined with the populace.
The demonstration as Mr.. Bryan left
his carriage and entered the Twenty
sixth street entrance of the hotel was
a repetition of that along the line.
Mr., Bryan at once went to his rooms.
A few minutes later he received del
egation from st. Matthew's Lutheran
church, North Fifth street, Brooklyn
Rev. Augustus Sommers, the pastor
presented him with a gold-headed
cane, which had been won by Mr.
Bryan in receiving the largest mum
Der of votes at fair held by the
church. He made speech of thanks
and then retired to rest before the
banquet.
The dinner rendered Mr.. Bryan at
the Hoffman house at $50 o'clock yes
terday afternoon was not held in the
Moorish room, as at first intended,
but in the Salon Louis Quinze. Fifty
covers were laid, an increase from
what was first intended Fifteen per-
sons sat at the table reserved for the
guest of honor and more distin-
gulshed persons. The remaining
guests sat at smaller tables. All the
tables were decorated with flowers.
The much disputed cost of the din
ner was settled by the Hoffman house
management who said that the cost
was Sl2 per plate, exclusive of the
wines. 1t took from 5;45 to I p. m.
to dispose of the many courses and
soon after the party got into car
rlages. Mr.. Bryan afterwards made
speeches at Madison Square garden,
Tammany hall and Cooper union to
enthusiastic audiences.
