Bryan Reaches Columbus Three
Hours Ahead of Time.

Columbus, O., Sept 1.-THE Columbus
Democrats were taken somewhat by
surprise today by the early arrival Of
W. J. Bryan, their presidential candf-
date. Mr.. Bryan was expected to reach
the city ar 1870, but instead he came
in at $50, and he came practically un-
announced. The change in Mr. BTyan'S
programme here was made necessary by
his stopping over in Fort Wayne last
night to make speeches The original
intention had been to have him come
through Toledo to meet Mayor Jones.

rendered it impossible to make connec-

Mr.. Bryan was driven from the depot
to CoIonCl kilbourne's residence, where
he took breakfast and secured brief
sleep before entering upon the duties of
the day. Mr.. Bryan's speech is to be
made at GoodaIl park this afternoon,

Exactly so. Another eminent think
or observes that when Telemachus re
paired to the assembly of the cOnfeder-
ate kings, after the death Of Adrastus
and the Daunians desired peace, as soon
as they espled hin they were all hush
ed in expectation to hear him discourse;
this made him blush and he could not
be prevailed upon to speak. The prais
es that were given him by public accla

added to his bashfulness so, that he
would gladly have hid himself. At

President Steyn.

President Steyn himself is singular
ly frank, unassuming, Straightforward
man, member of one of the English
inns of court, and married to a wife of
half Scotch descent. He had an ex-
ceedingly cordial feeling toward in
dividual Englishmen, although he made
, no concealment of his entire distrust of
Great Britain as a government. The
same distrust, indeed, existed among
the Dutch all over South Africa.
The war, in fact, has been brewing
for, years, and is due to faults on both
sides-to Boer suspicion, unfriendly
and distrust and to our own want of
political sympathy and of comprehen-
sion of the Boer character When two
strong, proud races clash, war must
sooner or later be the result, unless the
greatest tact and forbearance be ex-
ercised; only it would have been better
for our future relations with the Dutch
as well as more consistent with truth
if we could have based our quarrel
avowedly upon race antagoniSm in
stead of being msled into accusing
the Beers of all sorts of barbarities and
iniquities of which they have assuredly
not been guilty.
Anthony Trollope's opinion of them in
1878 is worth quoting, for it is just. as
true now as it was then: cit has been
imagined by some people, must ac-
knowledge to have received such an
impression myself that the Boer was
European, who had refrigerated from
civilization and had become savage,
barbarous and unkindly. There can
be no greater mistake. The courtesies
of life are as dear to him as to any
European. The circumstances of his
secluded life have made him unpro-
gressive. 1t may, however, be that the
same circumstances have maintained
with him that hospitality for strangers,
and easy, unobtrusive familiarity of
manners, which the contrasts and ra-
pidity OF modern life have banished
from us in Europe. The Dutch Boer
with all his roughness, is a gentleman
from his head to his heels" (''South
Africa Volume IL, Page 329).

Queer Stifening.

Oaken ribs of old time Spanish gall
Icons, portions of more modern vessels
wrecked in Philippine waters, cannon
balls of various sizes, and many other
souvenirs of interest were hoisted out
of the hold of the Phelps, mixed UP
with the sand and blackened by coal
dust. A little crowd gathered around
the pile on the wharf early in the day
These people had been informed that
pieces of old ships from Manila had
been brought here by the Phelps, and
they, thinking they must of necessity
be portions of some of the men-of- war
which Dewey sunk, FASTENED to the
scene prepared to break off little pieces
to take home as curios. But Dewey
had nothing to do with the ballast OF
the Phelps. These relics no doubt
formed parts of ships long years before
the hero of Manila bay was ever
thought of.
The bark Olympic, Captain Gibbs, ar
rived in port early in the day from
San Francisco, having left that port on
June 3. The American schooner Inca
also arrived from Newcastle. During
the afternoon the French man-of-war
Protet steamed into the harbor and
dropped her anchor in naval row.

For the inter-island trade and for the
