BRYAN ON EXPANSION.
He Talks Freely To A Kansas City
Reporter Today.


Reporter Today.
Kansas City, Jan. 13-W. J. Bryan
passed through Kansas City this morn.
ing for Columbia where he is to speak
this afternoon. Asked about an inter
view in which he was reported as ex-
pressing his views favorable to ex-
pansion, Mr.. Bryan said: 81 have not
seen the interview as sent out by the
associated press. saw it as it appear
ed in one of the Minneapolis papers
and it contains some things l did not
say, have for one year been discus
sing imperialism and | tried to dis
tinguish between such extension of
the nations limits as would not change
character of the government and the
expansion which converts homogen-
eous republic into a heterogeneous
empire. When the annexation of any
given territory is under consideration,
the question is, first, whether the peo-
pie are capable of sharing in the gov
ernment and the destiny of the ma
tion. believe all people are capa-
BILE of governing themselves and the
Filipinos should be allowed to govern
themselves, but do not think they are
sufficiently advanced to share with us
in the government of the nation. II
the Philippine islands are annexed
the people there must either be citi-
zens or subjects. l am not willing to
admit them as citizens and do not be-
lieve the republic can have subjects;
therefore, want this nation to give
them independence and then protect
them from outside interference. Each
proposed annexation must be consid-
cred upon its own merits, but in con-
sidering these merits the condition of
the people should have more weight
than the geographical position or com
mercial advantage"
New York, Jan. 13-In connection
with the approaching visit of w. j.
Bryan, the Evening POST today
says; 1T was learned today tina. a
great effort would be made to get
Bryan, while here, to treat imperialism
and trusts as the main issue of the
campaign and avoid giving undue
prominence to the 16 to 1 issue. The
dinner to be given to Bryan by o. II
P. Belmont, January 22d, will be a
sort Of preliminary affair. Many Of
the party leaders of the state, as well
as representatives of the Chicago
platform democrats, will sit at the Bel
mont table and 1t is said an attempt
win be made to bring both wings O
the party together, in order that :
harmonious delegation can be sent t
the national convention"

Vienna, Jan. 13-The Neue Freie

from Brussels, saying the news re-
ceived there from Pretoria is to the
effect that the Beers have stormed all
the heights around Ladysmith and
capitulation at that place is hourly OK
pected. 1t is possible this news may
refer to the fighting Of Saturday last
Remsberg, Cape Colony, Jan 10
A strong force of British troops adj
vanced this morning, under cover of a
brisk artillery fire, and encamped at
Slingersfontein, on the Boers' eastern
flank Beers patrol retired, but sub
sequently the Beers attempted to
seize the position, threatening COM
munication between the British en-
campment and Remsberg. New Zea-
landerS, with a brilliant dash, frus-
trated the attempt and seized the po-
sition, first, and then fired volleys at
the enemy who retired in the direc-
tion of Colesburg.
The movement of French troops in
the vicinity of Colesburg this morn
ing, is taken to indicate that General
Lord Roberts has recognized the i'm
portance of their objective point
namely, to obtain command of both
bridges across the Orange river, and
he hastened to send re-inforcements
1t is also thought partially to con-
firm the suggestion that Gen. Buller's
plans include Synchronous moves in
all spheres of operation. About 4,00C
troops left for South Africa this after
noon.

Some years ago Congress. in enact

growing for some time past which was
steadily fostering the cigarette habit among
the young. and thus developing one of the
most pernic!ous evils which assail the youth

Boys We're buying the goods much for

by the fact that prizes We're often offered

Thus the trade partook of the vicious char
acter of a prize-package enterprise, in addi-
ton to its bad effect upon the physical and
moral natures of the young.
The stoppage of this traffic in premiums
resulted in sudden and serious falling off
in the cigarette sales Boys no longer
bought the goods as freely as before when
they could not get pictures and prizes with
them. The evil was in fair way to be con-
trolled. But now the cigarette concerns
have found way to avoid the law by print

the ordinary divisions of parties, as Mr..
Bryan has just discovered to his sorrow.
Mr.. Morgan's is the better and the Drawer

against his own views of his country's in
tercsts: and he has brought his constituents,
who have just voted for Mr.. Bryan for
President to vote much more enthusiastic

A fire occurred this morning in the treas
ury building and despite the remarkably
quick and effective work of the fire depart
ment. some damage resulted among the Old
files of one OF the auditors. 1t remains to
be seen how serious the destruction was.
for it is beyond easy computation to ascer-
tain how heavily the government might
suffer through the loss of its filed vouchers
and records. But whether the loss actually
amounted to much or little, result of
today's blaze, the warning of the affair is
emphatic. Secretary Gage is reported as
being very much in earnest in the hope
that Congress will at this session provide
fer the erection of hall of records. He
can find not stronger text for his plea than
this confiagration. slight though it was.
Had the fire gained Roadway the most pre-

Some kind of army reorganization seems
certain to result from this session of Con-
gress. The legal conditions under which
the army is present maintained will eX-
pire next June. and there is assurance
that the military needs of the government
will not remain substantially great then
as at present. Unless the houses relegate
the matter To the next Congress thus com
polling extra session, il is inevitable
that some Legislative provision be made
for the emergency. Secretary Roots plan
of reorganization commendS itself in gen
eral terms as best suited to The present
and prospective needs of the government
He proposes a flexible organization with
minimum force "f about $3.50 men and
maximum force of about a7,oD. This at
fords opportunity for such engagements as
may be demanded by circumstances. while
il provides opportunity for economy by d
reduction of force when the occasion for
an enlarged army has passed. The main
advantage of this scheme is that ii reduces
the necessity of relying upon raw mate
rislS and state militia in sudden emergen-
ci"s. With a skeleton organization capabl
OF an increase of about TO per cent at short
notice. without requiring any increase in
