Bryan and party left Albany early this

state. Schenectady was the first stop.
Bryan spoke twenty minutes, reviewing
the general political situation. covering
trusts and the increase in the army es-
pecially. The crowd was large and en-
thusiastic.
Fondo. Oct. 18.-Another large audi
ence greeted Bryan upon his arrival at
Amsterdam. His speech was an appeal
to republicans to investigate the demo-
cratic side Of the political situation, and s
argued that If he had been elected presi-
dent instead OF Mckinley and had con-
Quoted himself towards the trusts and
army questions as the president had
done, the republicans would not have
condoned his conduct.
Little Falls, Oct. 1S.-Bryan was re-
ceived with cheers as the train pulled

there especially to farmers, contending
there could be no prosperity sufficient

large, but the greeting was less cordial
than at other places. In his speech
Bryan declared the republican party
was placing the campaign upon lower
level than any previous campaign had
ever been placed upon, because it was
lappealing to the stomach entirely and
ignoring all the higher instincts of the
trace. Bryan asserted that the crowd
would have been larger II the manufac-
Iturers Of the city had not prevented the
employees from leaving work in order tc
hear him.
The Bryan train stopped twenty min

ELECTION IN HAWAII.
Natives outvotc whites and Elect Diss-
mist to Congress.

| sniss W NoIkrets.
Robert w. Wilcox, the Independent,
Royalist candidate, has been elected
Hawaiian delegate to congress by a
small majority over Samuel Parker,
the Republican candidate. His strong
vote among the natives in the outside
districts carried the day against the
whites and the intelligent native vote
of the cities.
wilcox was strongly opposed by Re-
puolieans and Democrats alike. His
canvass was an anti-white canvass,
with promises on the part of some of
ms campaign workers that IL he were
elected Queen Liliuokalani would be
replaced on the throne. The result OF
the vote shows the native bitterness
over annexation to be still alive,
The Republicans carried Honolulu
and the island of Oahu for Hon. Sam
nel Parker by 2i9 plurality, the Demo-
cratic candidate, Prince David Kawa-
nanakoa, receiving only about one
>-'iiN 90 many NOttS rs IarKer.
The Independent native party has
carried the house of representa-
by large majority. They will have
fourteen OF their men in the house,
with nine Republicans and six men
who are Independent and Democratic.
In the senate there win be seven Re-
publicans, eight Independents and one
Democrat, With the Independents In
control, lively session is expected, as
they are against the ruling regime and
will give Governor Dole plenty of op-
portunities for vetoes.
1t Is likely, as result of the elec-
ton, that congress will be asked to es-
tablish some limitations on the voting
privilege. The natives have won upon
a race division, and now many of the
whites want property qualification
for voters. 1t is argued that in voting
upon simple color line many of the
natives have shown themselves unfit
for universal suffrage.
1t is claimed Wilcox is a bigamist
and an attempt will be made to pre-
vent his taking seat in congress.

COLORADO RAPIST
BURNED AT THE STAKE
rrsstsa Porter. Who Assaulted and Aiar-
dersd an I1-Year-Oid Girl. Meets
an Awful Fate.

Preston Porter, the lS-year-old negro
who assaulted and murdered i1-year-old
Louise Frost at Limon, Colo, recently,
was burned at the stake on the identi.
cal spot where he committed the crime,
Saturday evening.
The sheriff OF Lincoln county started
with Porter for the county jai! at Hugo,
but the train was boarded at Limou by
determined mob of 400 men, wko
took Porter from the sheriff and took
him TO the scene of his crime.
An iron stake had been firmly set in
the ground, to which Porter was bound
with chains after having knelt in silent
prayer. Boards were piled around the
negro, saturated with kerosene, and
when all was in readiness, r. w. Frost,
father of the murdered girl, applied a
lighted match.
Porter turned his head and an awful
expression changed his face. With q
sudden convulsive tugging he stretched
his head far from tho rapidly increas-
ing flames and uttered cry OF pain.
"oh, my God, let me go men, I've got
something more to tell you! Please let
mo 60. Oh, my God, my God!"
In terrible screeches these words,
the first he had uttered aloud, came
from the negro. A terrible tugging at
the chains, succession of awful
groans and screams, the negro's awful
agony was at last breaking down his
sullen composure. Not an oath escap-
ed him, but he begged and pleaded to
be shot.
No attention was paid to his appeal
aud he was permitted to suffer until
nature came to his relief.
An inquest was held on the few
bones that were not consumed. Tho
verdict was that Porter came to
his death at hands of persons un.
known.

ALLEGED pYNAMirERs KILLED.
Picked q Row with Deputy Sheriff ana
Were Shot Dead.

A dispatch from Gem, Idaho, saws
that Bill Kennedy, who was shot and
killed at Gem Tuesday, was the worst
OF the dynamiters of the Coeur d'Alene
region, and Dan Kildee, who was killed
at the same time, was close second 10
aim as an utterly bad citizen.
Kennedy formerly lived on Wood
river. where he was known as bad
man, and where he committed ono
murder. He was a saloonkeeper there,
though he did some mining. In the
Coeur d'Alenes he also ran a saloon and
likewise engaged in mining. He was
leader of the dynamite element, and
was regarded as one OF the most dan
gerous men of that section.
The authorities have had evidence
showing that he was at the head of the
party that so cruelty murdered Fred
whitney three years ago
lie was one of those held in the
Wardner prison after the riot of 1899
for participating in the crimes of that
time. 1t was hoped that enough eyi.
dence would be found to place him ON
trial for the Whitney murder, but men
who knew about the matter would not
go on the stand and give the informa-
ton which they possessed.
kildee was always with Kennedy,
and was one of the dangerous men Of
that region.
1t Is supposed they were emboldened
by the success of the dynamiters in the
county election, to plan 10 kill Adams,
who had incurred the enmity of that
class by reason of his activity on the
side of the state during the troubles.
Kennedy picked u quarrel with Ad.
ans in dance hall. Later Kennedy
and Kildee returned, both heavily
armed. They met Adams coming
through doorway, and Harrington
raised his rifle to shoot, but quick as a
dash Adams sent bullet through his
head. kildee was drawing his revol-
YER, but second shot rang out before
he could get 1t into action, and he also
ell dead with ball in the brain.
Adams was exonerated by a coron.
