af THE BEYOND. 3
(Sale under tent.)

1t seems such little way to me,
Across to that strange country, the Beyond;
And yet, not strange, for it has grown to be
The home of those of whom am fond;
They make It seem familiar and most dear,
As journeyng friends bring distant regions near
So close it lies that when my sight is clear
| think see the cleaning strand;
know, feel, those who have gone from here
Come near enough sometimes to touch my hand;
often think but for veed eyes
We should find Heaven right round about us lies
can not make it seem day to dread,
When from this dear earth shall journey out;
To that still dearer country of the dead,
And join the lost ones, long dreamed about
love this world, yet shall love to go
And meet the friends who wait for me. | know.
! never stand about bier and see
The seal of death on some well-loycd face,
But that think, "Onc more to welcome me,
When shall cross the intervening space
Between this land and that one over there;
One mere to make the strange Beyond seem fair.
And SO for me there is sting to death,
And so the grave has lost its victory;
1t is but crosSing-with a batcd breath,
And white, set facc-a little strip of sea
To find the loved waiting on the Shore
More beautiful, more precious than before.

Mr.. Bryan Made n Short Speech and
Went to Now Haven.

Mr.. Bryan Made Short Speech and
Went to New Haven.
STAMFORD, Conn, Jan. 24.-wnuam
]. Bryan arrived here on the express
from New York at 1886. A big crowd
assembled on the depot platform. Mr..
Bryan was hurried to q carriage and
driven to the town hall, where an au-
dience Of over n thousand people had
assembled. many of them workIngmen.
within ten minutes after he stepped
OF the train Mr.. Bryan had made u
speech that lasted over three-duarters
OF an hour and barely left time for the
party to take luncheon.
The speech was about equally divided
between the currency question, the
trusts and Imperialism,

to exalt wealth and to debase common

whether the audience was cheering be-
cause they thought the silver question
had been buried or because they did
not believe that that was the case.
When the cheering and noise had
subslded, Mr.. Bryan said that he was
almost sorry that ne came. He had
supposed that the Hudson county DEM
ocrats needed to be leetured, but he
was made glad to see that he was vast
ing time: that he ought to have gone
somewhere else. But IL he could not do
his hearers tonight any good, he
thought they might be able to do him
some good and impart to him some Of
their enthusiasm, that he might carry
it to other parts OF the country where
the people may not be so earnest In the
fight as they seemed to be in Jersey
City. Referring to the remarks OF
Mayor Hoos. who introduced him., Mr..
Bryan said that when a man indulged
in the pleasant prophecy that be was to
be the next President OF the United
States, 1t did not make his heart beat
30 fast as it used to when he tirst began
to hear it. He did not want the people
to think that he was expecting to be
the candidate OF the Democratic party
in the next campaign or that he was
striving for anything in the way of
office, because he said he was in poll
tics for many years to come.

ION Monday slf Charles Warren's
force canonaded and fuslladed the Boer

Acton Homes road. A lyddIte battery
co-operated with the other batteries

losses. The Beers, however, chung des-
perateiy to heir works, from which
they are only being very slowly driven.
To-day the enemy fired their guns Of
teuer, using the captured fifteen
Founders with shrapnel. Our casualties
to-day was less even than those of yes
terday.
"The fighting began about in the
morning and continued until dark, but
there has been nothing like a general
engagement. The naval big guns as
sisted from Potgieters Drift in shelhng
the Boer positions"

Al s o'clock Mr.. Bryan and those who

Mr.. Bryan received most hearty re-

that could possibly get into the hall, to

greeting which he encountered when he
walked In upon the stage. For fully a
minute the hall resounded with cheers
and seemed to be full Of waving hats.
When this had subsIded It was followed
by three cheers for Mr.. Bryan himself,
which wera Immediately drowned by
three cheers for "our next President"
Mr.. Bryan indicated his surprise at
the generosity OF the reception, saying

BRYAN AT NEW HAVEN.
The Burden Of His Song is Money,
Trusts and imperialism.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. A.-Wll-
liam j. Bryan arrived in New Haven at
2:15 p. nl., and was driven to the city
hail. where reception was held. Af-
ter brief rest, Mr.. Bryan repaired to
Music hall. where fully 1000 people
aawited his coming, several hundred
were crowded into the aisles after he
arrived.
Mr.. Bryan's entrance onto the stage
was the signal for wildly enthusiastic
demonstration. Men and women rose
to their feet and cheered themselves
hoarse. Mr.. Bryan bowed his thanks.
Mr.. Bryan, in prefacing his remarks,
referred 10 his former visits to the city.
He did not directly refer to the Yale
student demonstration on the city
green in 1896. but his words were SO
pointed as to indicate that he recall
ed 1t.
Mr.. Bryan paved the way hastily for
his speech by remarklng that he had
so little time, scarcely an hour, in which
to say ali that he wished to present,
that he would plunge at once into a
discussion of the three great leading
questions OF the day." namely, trusts,
money and Imperialism" Which OF
them is paramount depends upon the
point OF view OF the Individual and he
said personally, don't care to speci-
fy."
He believed that to assert that the
money question as political issue is
dead, is folly. for the reason that 1t
vitally concerns all men, and because
they are thinking of 1t, no matter what
their station in life.
Taking up the subject Of trusts, Mr..
Bryan said:
"The constitution of the United
States gives Congress all the power
needed to kill trusts. They are mono
poly and nre papable of being outlaw
ed. As remedies under the constitu-
ton would demand that the Congress,
before granting u corporation the power
to do business outside the state in
which 1t is organized. should stipulate
as a' condition that there must be no
water in the stock. Squeeze out the
water and you have gone a long way
toward killing trusts. Next. would
have Congress insist that the corpora
tIons must prove that they have not
been holding a monopoly on any manu-
featured article, do not hold such mono

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-The Demo-

conference to-day TO consider the Ques-
ton Of party policy on the various
questions before Congress. They have
found themselves following somewhat
divergent paths on some of these ques-
tIOnS and concluded that their party in

No definite conclusion was reached,
but when the conference adjourned
there was a general understanding OF
the lines to be pursued.

SCORES THE
MORMOnS
In the Debate on the Exclusion Of
M. Roberts, Of Utah, From
the House.
THE APOSTLES ARRAIGNED
For openly Living in POlygamy.
Prospects Of Majority Report
Greatly Strengthened.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Reutine
business occupied the attention Of the
senate today In a brief session. The
resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
PettIgrew Is, d.. calling upon the
President for information regarding
the treaty entered into with the sultan
of sulu, was passed. after Mr.. Petit
grew had made an attack upon the ad-
miniStratlon for entering into an agree
nent which. he said, authorized slavery.
An extended debate was preclpiated
by a conference report on the census
administrative bill, but the census COM
mittee gained its point and the meas
ure was sent back to conference.
During the debate which followed the
motion, Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. TIllman
were pltted against each other Mr..
Chandler declared that 1t would be i'm
possible for even South Carolina to get
the necessary Information within the
period Of thirty days.
Possibly" responded Mr.. TilIman,
''I am not 70 nervous or so much like a
grasshoppeF as the senator from New
Hampshire"
"A pitch-fork never touches grass
hopper" said Mr.. Chandler In reply to
this sally. and Mr.. TIllman's reply was
drowned In the burst of laughter which
followed.
Mr.. CockrelIs motion to recede was
lost. Ayes 30: nays 50.
The second days debate in the house
upon the Roberts case was less drS-
matte than that OF yesterday. The gal
lerIes were almost as crowded, but the
ladies' were less demonstrative. The
Presidents pastor. Rev. DR.. Bristol,
was in the executive gallery, the great
cr part of the afternoon, listening to
the arguments.
MIR. Roberts was not present during
the day. Had he been he would have
heard the most scathlnE excorIatIou of
the Mormons eveg delivered upon the
floor Of the house. Mr.. Lands, of In
diana, the young orator who distIn-
guished himself during the last Con-
gress in an oratoricat duel with Mr..
Johnson, Of his state, won new laurels
to-day. He charged that Utah had
been admitted to the Union as a result
u Mormon conspiracy, and reviewed
he history of the apostles OF the church
whom he charged With living In open
and fagrant violation OF the statute
against polygamy. to show that they
had basely broken their solemn pledge
to the government. The other speakers
to-day were Messrs. Powers CRep., vt.),
and Mlers (Dem.. 1nd), for the majori-
ty resolutions: Messrs. snodgrass
(pem., Tenh.), and Wilson (sIlver Rep,
Idaho). for the minority resolutions.
Mr.. Lacey (Rep., Iowa>, for his prop
osItion to expel without swearing In
and Mr.. crumppacker Rep., Ind.), for
exclusion by a two-thirds majority.
The speeches to-day greatly strength
ened the majority resolution, which
seemed in danger of falling after Mr..
Littleheld's speech yesterday and
Chairman Tayler was confident to-
night, that they would be adopted when
the house votes tomorrow afternoon.
