long been recognized by many that it
seriously blocks the eastward growth

there is probably room outside the linn

however, the cemetery lies directly
across the best route, and that is a
point directly north of the Baltimore

very probably enlist the approval and

HANNA IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
The Senator I. Asked Many sharp Ques-
tions by His Auditors About Trusts aud
Visited by Indians

Huron, S. d., Oct. 1s.-The special
train bearing Senators Hanna and
Frye Travelled up and down through
the counties OF central South Dakota
yesterday, in the districts where the
vote as a rule is close and where farm
ers compose n greater part OF the
population. Four stops, varying In
length from three minutes to an hour,
were made during the day, Senator
Hanna making speeches at Redfeld,
Worthwhile, Groton, Andover, Bristol,
Bradley, Elrod, Bryant, Lake Preston,
Desmet, Iroquois, Huron, Aberdeen
and Webster. Senator Frye also
spoke at some length at the more i'm
portant stopping places. A good deal
Of spice was put into the speeches at
times by sharp questioning on the
part of the audiences, who desired to
hear about trusts and "imperialism"
and were not slow to make their
wishes known. This was true, espc-
cially at Aberdeen, where Senator
Hanna was constantly interrupted
during his speech by questions re-
garding various phases Of the trust
issue. Senator Hanna apparently en-
joyed these interruptions and inva-
riably answered them. During the
afternoon, while the train was run
ming through thinly populated part
Of the state and stops were brief and
infrequent, Senator Hanna spent
about half OF his time at the various
stations in shaking hands with the
crowds who nearly dragged him from
his car on one occasion in the effort
to shake hands with him. At Web.
ster he was visited in his car by
delegation Of Sioux Indians from the
Sisseton reservations. These Indians
are all voters. The most important
meeting Of the day was held at night
at Huron, where the train stopped
for the night and where both Senator's
Hanna and Frye and Victor DolIiver
made addresses OF considerable
length.

IN THE EMPIRE STATE.
New York, hut In Few Places Was There
Marked Enthusiasm.

Syracuse, n. y. Oct. 19.--William J.
Bryan continued his tour of the En-
pire state yesterday, travelling half
way across it from east to west. He
began his journey at Albany and, fol-
lowing the course of the picturesque
Mohawk and the line of the Erie
canal, he reached this point late in
the afternoon. From here he made
run northward to the southern shore
of Lake Erie and made half hours
speech at 0swego. Later he spoke
here at night. The other points at
which he spoke during the day were
Schenectady, Fonda, Johnstown, Clio
versville, Amsterdam, Fort Place, Lit
tie Falls, Herkimer, lion, Frankfort,
Utica, Rome, Oneida, Canastota, Chit
tenango and Dewitt. The attendance
at the majority of the meetings was
complimentary in size and some of
the audiences were large. In COM
paratively few places was there
marked enthusiasm. There was, how
ever, close attention and in no case
was there any interruption of note.
The 0swego meeting was the best
attended and in other respects the
most notable of the day.
