Kansas City, Sept. 19.-Armourdale,
the center of the packing and stockyard
interests of the vicinity of Kansas city,
was invaded late yesterday afternoon by
w. j. Bryan The employees Of the va
rious institutions of the vicinity gath
cred in great numbers when Mr.. Bryan
arrived. and he spoke in the rain. At
night, Mr.. Bryan spoke IN huge tent
in this city. Mr. Bryan's speech was ad-
dressed entirely to the labor element, of
which his audience was composed. He
plunged Immediately into the 'full din
ner pail" subject, and in that connection
referred to the anthra cite coal strike as
proof. He said that the dinner pail is
not always as full as the Republican
orators would have their audiences be-
lieve. Mr.. Bryan also repeated his argu-
ment against the trusts, contending that
they were calculated to cut off all the
old-time opportunities for young men.
Speaking of the election of senators
by the people, Mr.. Bryan said: 1--WE
ask for the election OF senators by the
people. You cannot get any remedial
legislation until your bill passes the sem
ate as we'll as the house. Under the
present method Of electing tors, the
corporations have more influence in the
selection of senator than they should
have, and the common man. the ordinary
voter, has less interest than he should
have.

COCHRAN A MAGNET.
Thousands Fight to Hear Eloquent
Democrat in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Thirty-five thousand
or more persons tried to hear Bourl1e
Cochran speak at the Coliseum Satur-
day night at the opening Of the Demo-
cratic campaign in this city. Half of
these thousands were able to crowd their
way into the giant Auditorium. The re-
mainder had to content themselves with
listening to the orators at two overflow
meetings in Wabash avenue.
1t was the greatest political meeting
ever held in Chicago" said Robert E.
Burke. He had tried to make his way
within the hall along with the county
Democracy, which had come as an escort
to the distinguished visitor from New
York, but like the many thousands of
others had given up the struggle and
stayed outside.
Such was the press through which Mr.
Cochran, Mayor Harrison, Senator Jas.
K. Jones and wife, Judge Dunno and
others in the party were obliged to pass
that for several moments it was a ques-
tiOn whether even the combined efforts
of the police could make a way for them
without the use of clubs. Mrs. Jones
was so severely treated that she scream
ed with pain and fright. Her husband,
the senator, raised his arm as if to strike
those nearest, but help came to him and
Mrs. Jones was extIicated from her peril.
The entire party finally pushed its way
through the throng and to the platform.

WISCONSIN GERMANS
Protest Against Present Policy
of Imperialism.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. If the action
of the Milwaukee Turner society can be
taken as an indication as to how the
German vote is going there is dark
outlook for President Mckinley. The
society is composed of the leading Ger
mans of the city. and Saturday night it
discussed at length the policy of the ad-
ministration with reference to its new
possessions.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed, and they will have a wide effect on
the German vote of the state, as the
society is one of the most prominent
organizations in the northwest.
I'VE recognize in all nations alike the
right to defend their liberty and to as
sert their independence by force of arms.
I'VE consider every war for the pur-
pose of territorial expansion to be an
act of brutal force, hostile to our
American spirit of civilization and hu-
manity.
I'VE condemn any and every attempt
to spread the blessing of civilization at
the point of the sword, because it is a
hypocritical pretext merely, behind
which there are lurking the greed and
avarice of concentrated wealth.
I'VE protest against the policy of con-
quest pursued by our administration and
against all expansion of the territory
of the United States by force of arms"

Canadians he told them that If the Eng
lish doctrine was right for the Trans
vaal, it was also right for Canada If
they wanted to protect their own rights,
they should be in sympathy with every
people struggling for liberty.
Mr. Bryan referred to a recent speech
by Senator Davis. He said:
Speaking of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. it is rather interesting to read
that when a distinguished Republican
made a speech in this city not long ago
and mentioned the Declaration of Inde-
pendenee. the Republican papers said
Laughter Laughter in a Republican
audience when he mentioned the Declar-
alton Of Independence There was a
time when that Declaration Of Inde-
pendence meant the blood of our fore
fathers, and if you had the spirit of
your forerathers there would be no
laughter when the Declaration OF In
dependence was mentioned
He also said: Take your Porto
Rican bill. Your Republican senator
who spoke here did not dare to mention
the Porto Rican bill, because he voted
against it, and your congressman voted
for it. Am L correct when I say that
your congressman voted for the Porto
Rican bill? (Voices, "Yes) 1t did
not make any difference whether you
said yes or no. If the senator voted
against the bill, would then ask him
why he did not support a. Republican
administration and would then ask you
to arrange a joint debate between a
senator who voted against it and a con-
gresham who voted for it and see who
was right

articles of steel manufacture. There

JONES TO DEBS.
Golden Rule Mayor Willing to Be
come Private Citizen.

Toledo, Ohio, Oct Mayor Jones has
answered the criticism of Eugene Debs
on the formers support of Bryan, and
in a letter addressed to the Social Demo-
cratic candidate he says in part:
My Dear Mr.. Debs: During the past
few days the papers have been quoting
you as saying in a letter to L. A. Russell
national politics that Mr.. Jones has
made a mistake, and, unless I am wholly
mistaken about its consequences, he will
never again be elected to office
well, suppose the prediction is true
and I am never again elected to Office!
And supposing that, in return for the
implied deprivation, 1 have the con-
sciousness of having been true to my
highest convictions of truth, true to my
own soul VIII not that be for me a
sufficient recon pense?
I'VE do not all see the truth from the
same view point. We have not learned
the lesson of faith in humanity, not
learned to believe in the good (the Cod
in our fellow men. And when we reach
the point where we can accept without
question the integrity of our fellow men
who see duty in different line than we
do, we are on the highway that leads to
the fullest kind of liberty The con-
spicuous thing about our present stage
of DEVELOPMENT is our lack of belief in
people, our want of a social faith and
our belief in and dependence on 'organiz-
ation,' machines parties, 'sects,' fra
IernlUeS.' etc
Il am as Indifferent to the ridicule of
the Social Democratic Herald and the
abuse of a few of the party Socialists as
1 am to the abuse Of the Chicago Times
Herald the Toledo Blade and the other
party Republicans who do not approve
my course. I know this sort of work is
melted by the spirit of partyism, not
patriotism or socialism, and one kind
OF partyism is as hopeless to me as an
other. It is a duty of the people to gov
ern themselves; to select their own can
didates without the aid of the self-con-
stituted machines, organization or dele
gates, which, after all, only take the
place of the kings Of olden time. This
is my belief. do not seek to ispome IL on
others or to ridicule or misrepresent
the opinions Of those who differ from
me. I do not believe in the Democratic
party. I am against imperialism in
North Carolina as much as in Luzon.
and I am forever against the parent
of every political evil that aff1icts US to-
day, and that is partyism- As I see it,
we must not only leave the old parties;'
we must leave all parties and all party
methods and learn the lesson Of work.
ing together for the good of all''

BUCKET SHOPS WIN.
Injunction Asked For by Board
OF Trade Is Denied.

Milwaukee, Oct 1.-The application of
the Chicago board of trade for tenn
porary injunction restraining the Mil
waukee outside commission men and
brokers from making use of the Chicago
quotations was denied by Judge Sea-
man today The answers of the brokers
the court said, raises an issue as to
whether the board of trade has not lost
its right Of property in the quotations by
publication which can only be deter
mined by the taking of proofs. And un-
less the proofs are taken and the clear
right of the board to an injunction ap-
pears, a restraining order will not be
granted The case will be sent to a
referee to take testimony.
A. G. Goodwin said today that the de-
clsion Of Judge Seaman would not effect
the Topeka commission men as they
nave a direct wire from the Chicago
board OF trade and that the Milwaukee
men got their quotations as best they
could.

The trial in Italy Of persons accused Of
the murder of Emanuel Notarbartolo. a
prominent Palermo banker, is bringing
out the secrets Of the Malta. When the
murder first became known in Palermo
the police endeavored to find out the per-
sons who had committed the crime and
the causes Of II. Many people were ar
rested, but by the degrees that the in
quest proceeded the tracks OF the Grim
lnal plot vanished. so that the prisoners,
after being questioned several times,
were released and the matter remained
just at the same point as It was at the
commencement of the inquest.
Owing to the belief that justice might
miscarry II the trial had been held In
Palermo. 1t was taken before the court
OF assizes at Milan. AT the beginning,
among the first witnesses was young
and handsome naval officer. Sir Leopold
Notarbartolo. the son Of the victim. who
had imposed upon himself the mission to
discover the murderers of his father,
from whom he had Inherited n brave and
frm character.
Speaking In the courtroom, he said
boldly that his father had been killed by
mandate Of Deputy Palizzolo and some
other high functionaries Of the bank.
Deputy Palixzolo wrote and published
u letter In his own defense asserting that
