BRYAN AT SHREVEPORT
Received an Ovation From an Immense
 Crowd

Shreveport, La, March 1.-WiFMam J. Bryan reached this clty thts afternoon and received an ovation from a tremend ous crowd, which blocked every access to the depot. He was accompanied by Hon. w. W. Heard, democratic candidate for gov ernor and others constituting the entire state ticket
 At 2 o'clock MT. Bryan addressed an audience of many thousands, delivering hds speech from a large platform erected in the court house square. He was intro duced to the crowd by Judge Blanchard of this city, his personal fraend and coll league in congress. MT. BryaRs address consumed two hours, his favorite themes, the financial question, trusts and imperial ism being treated exhaustively. He se- verely scored the administration for the passage of the Porto Rican tariff bill, de- nouncing it as the firss step towards an fmperia1 policy. The republican congress- men who were whipped into line on that measure, he charged, would vote for any thing for this country if ordered by their masters ito do so. MT Bryan lectured to- might at the Auditorium for the benefit Of the Louisiana Chautauquai and the building was packed to the doors. The distinguished Nebraskan leaves tonight for Houston.

COURT OF APPEALS
 POSTPONES DOCKET
Kentucky Judges Hear Argu- ments in ApriI-$25.000 Paid
 Democratic Treasurer.

Frankfort, Ky, March 1.-The court of appeals to-day entered an order postpon- ing the argument docket till the spring term, which begins in April The order merely state that the judges win hold their consultations at which cases will be de- cided as usual, and that the court will con- vene on the bench whenever the occasion demands 1t. In democratic circles 1t is said this action was taken on account of stories that the lives of two judges had been threatened.
 The case involving contests for governor and lieutenant governor will be argued at Louisville tomorrow before Judge Field on a demurrer, filed by republican Govern or Taylors attorneys to the petition of democratic Governor Beckham. The two factions of the state government are pro- ceeding each in full operation, but with nothing approaching clash pending the litigation over the offices.
 The treasury of the democratic faction of the state government was replenished to-day by payment into 1t of about s25oOo by officials. of Jefferson county. The dem ocrats think the example set by the Jeff ferson county officers will be followed by democratic officers in a majority of coun- ties, where they are in control and that in few days they will have enough money to pay current expenses.

THE MINORITY IS JUb|LANT Underwood, nardson and Bartlett QEv ye the Credit. FIRST WIS s OF THE SESSION
  The Sv of the Democratic Side Will Proudly Delay the Hearing
 of the Contest Case
 Several Weeks

Washington, March 1.-(Special) )-Thc day by twice defeating an effort to bring up the Aldrich vs. Robbins election case from the fourth district of Alabama When the case was called up, Mann of Illinois and Bartlett of Georgia, raised the question of consideration, and by a vote 13S to l43, the house refused to take up the case. Three republicans, Mondell of Wyoming, H. c. Smith of Michigan, and Mann of Illinois, voted In the negative, the latter to be. able to move to reconsider his vote. The speak, CT overruled his motion.
 The first effort to take the case up was at the beginning of the session. Shortly after ? o'clock Mann again sought to take it up, but the question of consideration was raised second time. On roll call the house refused by 129 to 133 to take up the case. This should prevent the case from being considered for several weeks. The absence of several republicans impaired made democratic victory possible. It is under stood, however that some of them were absent Intentionally, not wishing to have a vote against Robbins, the sitting demo- crat. The democrats are very jubiant, and are rejoicing over the victory. Some phoph- esy that 1t is impossible to unseat Robbins, but with 14 majority for the republicans it should be extremely difficult to prevent Aldrich being seated. However, the demo- crats maintained the majority report of the committee on elections, declaring Aldrich :. legally elected, on account of democratic frauds was absolutely unjustified, and they intend to fight to the bitter end.
 The next time the republicans make an effort to get the case up, they will make sure that majority is at hand before act ing.
 To-day's democratic victories are really the first this session. Underwood Richard- son of Tennessee, and Bartlett of Georgia deserve the credit for the management of Robbins side of the case

 Family Quarrel.

Eutaw, March 1.--tSpecdal. )-Joseph A. Logan, young man, shot and instantly killed his uncle, R. c. Collins, an in spector of the Alabama railroad, in the main street of this down yesterday even- ing.
 1t is said that the cause of the tragedy was the fact that CoEinks had thraseled Logan's half-brotfer, an over-growu youth of the same name. The allegation is that two or three days ago Collins severely pun ished young Logan with a buggy whip, and then went out on hts road duties, going probably to Birmingham. The elder Logan awaited his uncle's return. and seeing him on the street accosted him concerning the younger brother. One word quickly led to anotlher, and Logan fired three shots, one of which pierced Collins heart.

MURDERED AND THIN MUT|LATED Horrible Crime Committed in Outskirts of Ta|adega' NEGRO ADMITS AWFUL DEED Mans Body Was Gashed With Knife in Fifteen Places and His
 Throat Cut From
 Ear to Ear.
 
NEGRO ADMITS AWFUL DEED

Talladega. March 1.--(Specia1)-Th nude and horribly nutilated body of Pink Dolb- bins, white man, was found in the vest ern part of this city early this morning. There were fifteen gashes in the body, and the throat had been cut from ear to ear. The dead man had been robbed of every shred of clothing he wore, and lay on the cold ground perfectly naked.
 Elbert Curry, a negro about 20 years of age, was suspected, and when arrested confessed to having committed the horrible crime. Tonight he told the story of the murder, giving most revolting details.
 The object of the crime was robbery, and though Dotlbils had boasted of having s65, the murderer only found 15 cents in his pockets.
 Two other negro boys named Hardnut. have been arrested, but 1t is thought that the coroner's jury will order them re- leased. Regardless of his confession, the proof on Curry is positive. When arrested his hands and wrists were bloody, and many blood stains were on his garments. The knife with which the fatal work was done has been identified and traced directly to him.
 Though Curry has not made his confess sion clear, it is evident that he had en- ticed Dobbins ito place near the Talla- dega college, and there murdered him. The only mystery to be cleared is how the ne- gro persuaded: Dobbins to strip. or why the murderer took away all of the dead mans clothes after he had killed him.
 The affair has created intense excitement in Talladega. and threats of lynchiag have been heard.i S..s

LONDON IS WILD
 s.o WITH ENTHUSIASM

London, March 1.--All day long cheering thousands kept up an incessant roar be- fore the Mansion house. and all traffic in what Is London's busiest concourse ceased An elderly gentleman. with his tall hat on the back of his head and his black coat tails flying in the wind, climbed to the top of big lamp post in the middle-of the street opposite the Mansion house and re- mained for about an hour with his legs curled around the post. Waving his hat in one hand and flag in the other he led the tumultious cheering for each hero of the war and the fierce, hoarse imprecations of President Kruger and President Steyn. Pandemonium reigned.
 The news of the Mansion house demon- stration had spread to all quarters of the city and there poured in a stream of hood lums and falSirs laden down with flags, wo- men, boys and all sorts and conditions of people. silk hats flew into the air and small fights were of frequent occurance. The hundreds of policemen on the spot had their hands full, but as long as the enthusiasm of the crowd was only confined to horse play the officers did not interfere.
 Hundreds of fireworks were being bought in preparations for elaborate celebrations tonight.
 In several provincial towns effigies of President Kruger and General Cronje were paraded through hestreets and maltreated. Al Glasgow an efigy of President Kruger was subjected to indignities at the foot of the queens statue. Over one hundred uni- yersity and college students paraded the streets of London singing Rule Brittania." waving flags and cheering for Little Bobs." who seemed to be prime favorite m ths and othas demonstrations although

ToRNApoEs OF EXCITEMENT
All Englandis Swept by Great Patri-
 o0ng Fs otic Wave

London, March 2A:30 a. m.-Britons feel that they are living in the presence of momentous events. Tornadoes of excite ment are. wnirling through the country. Even the dlalest soul must have been stir red by the emotions of yesterday, and Lon don's 6,0O0OO0 inha ab1tants were raised to a high pitch of patriotic exaltation.
 It was a wonderful sight. Old men have nothing in memory to compare with the day. Some likened 1t to Lucknow, others talked Of tine fall of Sebastapol. It was a time of sanguaGr abandon. The usual con- ventions5 of society ceased to exist and everybody knew every body else, all join ing in smiles, their dispositions moved them. Lord Landsdowne cheered the cleo trical moment to announce estimates of e61, ,000, 900, and rather startled the pub aic by unfolding the programme of the war office toosend out, in addition to the SO,0OO troops now aofat, 56,O00 fresh soldiers.
 Lord Roberts will ultimately have a force of a quarter of a million. An order has reached WooiwGcih arsneal for the con- struction of f224 new guns, from 3-pounders to a 2-inch gun. Of these, 10 are U Oe naval guns. Already e5,OoO workmen are eIUpOyeu at lu6 dIg5tHdi dilQ o,VVV iilOh . will be engaged.
 41 Isoers Lost No Guns
 The Boers seem to have gotten quite away from around Ladysmith without losing a gun or their baggage. Van Reenan's pass is only about twenty miles from Ladysmith The enemy had artillery in action Tuesday and thereby probably utilized both rail roads in retreating, sending the heavy pieces to- Pre- toria and lighter ones into the Free State. Dr. Leyds says that General Joubert is assembling 50000 men at Vim borg, fifty miles north of Bloemfortein. Colonel 1Aibrecht, according to a dispatch from Paardeberg, affirms that the Boers have 75,000 men left. Lord Kitchener's mis- sion is to combine the forces under General Clement and General Gatacre and to ad- vance along the line of the railroad to Bloemfontein The railway will simplify immesneiy the perplexities of transcorta- tion. The conditions at Ladysmith, some of which were explained by Charles Will jams yesterday and cabled to the United States, are now better understood, as the military authorities no longer retain their special information It appears that since the middle of January the horses have been half starved, and altogether too weak eith- CT to drag ,.g guns or carry cavalrymen. Hence, the impossibilty of dashing out.

states His Qualifications for the Office Of
District Attorney.
DALLAS, Ore, May 4, 10

DALLAS, Ore, May 4, 1900.
EprroR JOURNAL: In justice TO myse
and those who nominated me, desir
10 correct some statements that hav
been made in your columns regardin
my candidacy for the Office Of distrlc
attorney. / do not think these state
ments were made through maliciou
motives, but rather from a misappre
hension Of facts; and, therefore, pre-
sumo that you will accord me space 10
statement Of the facts.
Il has been urged against me thai
am very young, too young, to hold TN
office of District Attorney. lam thirty
one years Of age, and have been resi-
dent OF this district for fifteen years
Mr.. Jeffrey my opponent, is also thirty
one years Of age, bnt has resided in thu
district lees than two years.
Again, il has been said that am just
out Of school and have never had a case
in court. The records show that
passed the required examination before
our supreme court aud was admitted TO
the bar in 1895. My opponent was also
admitted in 1895, hence you are mis-
taken when you say that he has been a
practicing lawyer for Oyears. You are
also mistaken when you say that he was
prosecuting attorney for four years.
NY experience in the law includes
both criminal and civil cases; and j
have practiced in all state courts. Jus .
tice, County, Circuit, and Supreme, and
also in the Federal Court, in all OF
which have had reasonably good sue
csss. n any one doubts these state
ments, let him consult the records Of the
courts. As 10 my ability as lawyer,
| am willing 10 leave that to my clients,
10 the attorneys who have been assocl-
ated with me, or who have tried cases
against me, or to the judges before
whom | have appeared as counsel.
IL Is true, | have been superintendent
OF schools in Polk county for two terms.
and so far as know have given satisfac
tion TO the patrons and teachers OF the
schools. At the same time the work OF
the Office has not materially interfered
with my law practice, owing TO the fact
that Polk is a small county and the work
of the Office is not more than half as much
as in some Of the larger counties.
II am elected TO the Office Of district
attorney, every criminal will be prose.
cuted TO the full extent of the law, but
shall not use the Office to persecute
any one. Every one will be treated
with fairness and consideration.
Please give this letter space in your
paper in the interests Of justice.
Yours truly,
Iuttua N Hmm
