WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-W. j. Bryan
Is in this city today. He is to be the
guest Of the Gridiron club.
WuMIHGToN, Del, Jan. 27.-Wllliam
j. Bryan spent yesterday among the
Democrats of the blue hen state and
was royalty received wherever he went.
Although he made only two speeches,
Mr. Bryan put in very busy day.
He arrived here about IL o'clock, and a
few moments later was being whirled
towards Smyrna, about half wav down
the state. The run from NilI ington
to SMYRNA was somewhat of an ova-
ton. Good-slzed crowds cheered the
famous Nebraskan, as he sped past the
little country stations.
Mr.. Bryan was accompanied to
Smyrna by Governor Tunnell of Della
ware, ex-Congressman L. Irving Handy,
also of Delaware, and J. Frank Turner,
former comptroller of Maryland.
On the run down through the state an
interesting incident took place. Abner
Mckinley, brother of the president,
happened to be on the train, lie being
on his way to Norfolk, Va. When he
learned that Colonel Bryan was aboard
he went to the parlor car in which he
was and greeted him. The gentlemen had
met before and recognized one another
readily. They exchanged pleasantries
for about five minutes, to the great
amusement OF the small party in the
car.
Colonel Bryan was met at Clayton,
where trains were changed, by recep-
ton committee and band and was es-
corted to Smyrna amid much enthusi.
asm. The whole population of Smyrna
seemed TO have turned out to welcome
the distinguished visitor.
Mr.. Bryan was entertained at lunch
con by Governor Tunnel and num-
Der of prominent citizens of Smyrna,
after which the party walked to the
opera house a short distance away,
where the colonel spoke to a large aud
1ence.
The return trip from Smyrna to Will
mington was begun about 3:45 p. ~.
On the way back the party was Joined
by John Il. Salisbury, who is said to
have been the first delegate OF the Chi
cago convention of 1896 to cast vote
for Bryan. The two men proceeded to
reteu the incidents of that memorable
occasion, When the train arrived here
Mr.. Bryan was met by another commit
tee and band and was escorted to the
Clayton House, where he had dinner
with a number of prominent Delaware
Democrats.
About s O'Clock the Nebraskan adj
dressed large and enthusiastic audi
ence In the opera house.

PAID TRIBUTES TO HOBART.
Speeches In the House Breathed Love
and Admiration For His
Noble Character.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The greater
portion of the session of the house was
devoted to eulogies upon the life and
public services of the late Vice Presi-
dent Hobart. The tributes paid To his
memory were not the usual perfunctory
eulogles, but breathed the love and adj
miration and respect in which he was
universally held. Those who spoke
were Messrs. Gardner, Stewart, ParEer,
Fowler and Daily of New Jersey Dir.

OIL TRUST NOT TOUCHED.
Others Hurt by New Freight Classification
Miliers Also Favored by the
Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The senate
to the representatives of a number of
business organizations throughout the
country, in support of the bill to amend
the Interstate commerce law. Frank
Barry, secretary of the National Millers
association, commended the pending
bill, saying that it had been framed
with view to doing justice to both the
shippers and carriers. He condemned
the present law, saying that it had be-.
come lmpotent and valueless ana the III.
terstate commerce commission was
nothing more than moot court.
In reply TO questions from Mr.. Till
man, Mr.. Barry said the Standard Oil,
sugar trust and the large Touring mills
OF the northwest and grain elevator
interests were not cooperating Ill this
movement. He had no direct informa.
ton on the subject of favoritism, but he
called attention TO the recent change OF
freight classification made by the rail
roads, which he said left carload rates
on Oil practically where they were,
while it raised the rate on fractional car
load rates from 200 TO 300 per cent. 1t
was not difficult to see that this was i'll
the interest of the Standard Oil com.
pany. MIR. Barry expressed the opinion
that the Minneapolis millers were re.
ceiving discriminatory rates from the
railroads
Mr. Barry also made complaint of the
discrimination by the railroads in favor
of wheat for export as against -four for
export. He thought the discrimination
was due to the fact that many OF the
railroad men were large owners in the
elevators.
Others gave similar testimony

have delayed doing SO until | had re-

However, as no formal notice has been
given me and the time is near at hand

up, | desire to say that after reVoly-
ing the situation over and over In my
own mind, I have come to the conclu-
sion that duty to myself, to my friends
and to the liberty-loving people of the
Second Congressional district and of the
United States; / say that after sincere
reflection and careful study OF the
policy and tendency of the present ad-
ministration toward that of monarchy
duty demands that ] should do all IN
my power TO defeat that policy OF ex-
pansion, and imperialism, and therefore
| decline the nomination, expecting TO
do what can for the election of Bryan

| wish to state further. however
that l have lost no faith in the prin-
ciples of Populism, but l consider the
liberty and freedom of people the
first and foremost issue.
Without liberty and freedom we can
not even hope for any refoun.
| do not want to try to dictate how
any one shall vote, but let me say to
my Populist friends that / hope you
will carefully, honestly and sincerely
study this question OF your own liberty
and freedom and that of your fellow
men, before you cast your ballot.
Let me say that I know that the
POpuIStS are honest In their pollucdl
convictions and that they want a form
of government that will at least grant
US the priilege OF electing our officers
and government that will not spend
the peoples money in buying foreign
people that our army may be employed

STRIKE ORDER READ.

WILKESBARRE Pa, September 10
Nearly all of the local assemblies of the
United Mine Workers met tonight to act
on the strike order In some it was re-
ceived with very much enthusiasm, while
in others there was dead silence. Every
member of the organization will be ex-
pected to quit work Saturday night There
is still a big difference of opinion as to
how many men will so out in this region.
Nothing can be based upon the member
ship of the United Mine Workers. All af-
filiated with the union will quit, but how
many men outside will lay down their
tools is all guess work. The union miners
say all hands will quit when the time
comes The operators say they have
pledges from many men that they will
continue.
