This apprehension is somewhat in
tensified by the fear that Germany
may also contemplate a declaration of

reached the government, but it is re-
garded as not altogether impossible.

minister and the recent reported utter

Of the most drastic character may be
in contemplation. What action this
government would take under these
circumstances is not known, but il has
been suggested that the president may
at once ask for a conference of the
powers with view to arriving at some
basis for a settlement of the questions
involved without reSOrting to war.
It is pointed that the president has

Bryan TALKS ON silver
AND ON IMPERIALISM
Declares That the White Metal is Not Dead Issue
By Any Means.
Discusses the Danger Of Hanna'S System of Empire
Reaches Nebraska from Kansas.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 24.-Mr. Bryan
began the day with a speech here at
1890 o'clock before a large audience.
Mr.. Bryan said he believed most
Republicans would leave their party
when convinced that they could serve
their country better by leaving il than
they could in it. In the first place, he
said, the Republican party had been
silver party. now it had become a gold
standard party. 1t had supported the
greenbacks, now it proposed to sub
stitute a bank currency for the green
backs. 1t had heretofore denounced
trusts, now its leaders were found gen
orally defending the trusts. He asked
what the individual Republicans, eSpe-
cially the Republican farmers, We're
getting out OF the trusts.
We 90 not object to the honest &C
emulation of wealth, he said. What
l object to is a government that pro-
tects a few men in their robbery of
the masses and then denoUnceS every
body as an anarchist that does not like
to be robbed. 1 want you Republicans
to see the change that has taken place
in the Republican party. If you cannot
see the change that has taken place
in Your party's position on the eco
nOmic questions. L am going to ask
you if you can see the change that has
taken place in your party's position on
these few question that have come up
since the SDaniSh war" (Applause.)
Mr.. Bryan declared that a policy of
imperialism was impossible without a
large army.
If we are to resort to imperialism in
the Philippines in order to get the trade
Of those islands, he said. is il not
reasonable to suppose that the same
policy should be brought into requisi-
ton 70 get the trade of other cOun-
tries?
4 believe in the expansion of trade
want this country to expand her
trade, but l would not present one
American citizen on the auction block
and sell him for all the trade OF the
Orient if l had 70 buy it by his blood
Great apDlause.)
Mr.. Bran asserted that the Repub-
hcanS were eVading the question OF
expansion, and said that after having
asserted over and over again that the
silver question was dead, they had res
urrected II far beyond the predictions
OF Democrats. Important as vas that
issue, it could not be used to prevent
adequate discussion of more pressing
questions. In closing, Mr.. Bryan said:
The sDlendOrS of an empire have
lured governments on to destruction IN
the past. We do not want the splen-
doris of an empire. We want a gov
eminent Of the people, by the people
and for the people. That is glory
enough for US (ApplauseD And when
Republicans tell you that We are going
tO do and how we are going to do
reach out and get lands for their eX-
plOratiOn, you remember that passage
. of the scripture, and you can para
phrase ii by an answer they cannot
meet: What shall it profit US if we
gain the whole world and lose the spirit
which prizes liberty as IN heritage to
all men IN all lands eVervwhere?"

ARRIVES IN NEBRASKA
Bryan Is Escorted to Beatrice By
Gold Democrat.


Beatrice, Neb., Aug. 24-Mr. Bryan
returned to his own state today, reach
ing the state line late in the afternoon
and arriving at Beatrice a few minutes
past s O'Clock.
He had been delayed for two hours
IN route and he drove direct from the
train to the meeting that he was TO
address. He had been met at Marys-
vile by a committee Of representative
citizens including +. 5. Bib, who was
he gold Democratic candidate for gov
ernOT in 1896. He is now supporting
Mr.. Bryan for the presidency because
OF the latterS position on the subject of
expansion and he presided over the
meeting tonight. There was large
crowd at the station when Mr.. Bryan
arrived. The speaking took place from
a high stand on a vacant lot in the
center of the city. The attendance was
.arge and Mr. Bryan was received with
4 fine burst Of applause when he
mounted the stand
There were also frequent interrupt
tons on the part Of Mr.. Bryan's ad-
mirers during the delivery of the
speech.
Mr.. Bryan has already made two
speeches of rather more than ordinary
length for him during the day, but he
did not appear fadgued and spoke with
his wOnted vigCr- The address was a
review of the general issues of the
campaign. More than usual attention
vas given to the legislation concerning
Porto Rico. he used this as an illus
tratiOn Of what the Republican party
would do in other countries if the op-
pOrtunity should offer. This legislation
he regarded as a specimen OF imperial
ism, and good illustration Of what
could be expected Of a Republican
congress.
Speaking of the FilipinOs along the
usual line. Mr. Bryan prOpOunded the
following cOnundrum:
Republicans, are you not ashamed
% say that God would make FilipinOs
and leave them thousands of years IN
I'll Hanna found them >"
Mr.. Bryan tainted the Republicans
with failure to formulate any plan for
the control of the Philippines and on
this point said.
Republicans, have you any plan for
the control Of the Philippines? Has
any Republican leader outlined a plan?
Your candidates have not, your COM
mitteemen nave not, your editors have
not; all they ask of you is that you
shall haze confidence in them and let
them run it 10 suit themselves"
Mr.. Bryan will leave Beatrice tomor-
row morning for Lincoln. and in the
afternoon Will go TO Omaha, where ne
viii speak at night.

ali the islands of the Philippines. and
if that doctrine is true, we have got
to take 100000, 900 square miles over
there. 1t is a thousand times better
to haul down the flag in the Philippine
Islands and raise the flag Of the Phil

cheering)
Doctrine Of Chicken Thief.
He derided the doctrine which he
said was Republican, that Eve are in
it and can't get out of it That was
the cowardly plea of policy. and such
a doctrine was calculated to make a
chicken thief out of every man who
might wake up and find himself IN the
neighborhOod of a hennery. Was there,
he asked. nothing dearer than money
in this world. As for himself, he was
not willing to measure human life by
the value of Oriental trade. Already
the bodies Of 1900 dead soldiers had
fiOated back from the Philippines.
What are they WORTH" he asked,
and then shouted, fix the price Of one
