character, strong physique, manly
presence and a level head. He bore

BRYAN SPEAKS
 IN DELAWARE
Was Accorded Hearty Welcome at Both Smyrna and
 Wilmington.

Smyrna, Del, January 26.-William J. Bryan arrived here from Harrisburg to- day and spoke. to a. large audience in the opera house. He was accorded a hearty re ception and was warmly greeted at sta- tions along the route.
 At Smyrna MT. Bryan was entertained at luncheon by Governor Tunnell, together with a number of prominent citizens.
 An incident on the train during the run from Wilmington was a meeting between MT. Bryan and Abner Mckinley, brother to President Mckinley who was his way to Norfolk. The two exchanged pleasan- tries.
 After luncheon Mir Bryan was driven to the opera house where he delivered a leng- thy speech.
 Governor Tunnell introduced Mir. Bryan, who said he was glad to meet and address the farmers of Delaware because the issues of the day were of vital importance to them. He said the tiller of the soil was the most helpless man in business, and even If prosperity swept the land and crops were good, the former would not get his just dues. because the monied men who control trade would not grant the farmer the price he asked for his products.
 In speaking of the income tax, Mir Bry- an said when the Spanish war came on the people of the country realized the mistake that had been made by reason of the in come tax law being relegated to the rear, and necessitating the creation of the war revenue tax. Instead of the rich being taxed now a revenue. stamp stares the poor in the face every time they buy something.

MCCONNELL KNOCKED
 OUT BY BILLY SMITH
Right Hook on the Jaw Did the Work in Twenty-two Rounds, and Smith
 Pulled the Purse.

New York, January 26.-At the Broad way Athletic club tonight Billy Smith, of this city, knocked out Frank Mcconnell, of San Francisco, with right hook on the jaw in the twenty-second round of what to have been twenty-five round bout. Mcconnell was the favorite in the betting, odds of 100 to 70 being laid on him before the bout began.
 The men met at 14S pounds. The western boxer had nearly two inches the better of his opponent as to height, and certainly looked to be in the better condition of the two. Smith forced the pace from the opening, playing for the stomach, but Mo- Cornell sent his left to the wind and head neatly. Smith countered with a right to the face, bleeding Macs nose and at close quarters he pounded the western man all over the ring.
 It was Smiths fight from the seventh round on. Occasionally Mac electrified the spectators with his clever work with both hands, but none of his blows, although they landed quite frequently. on the neck and wind, seemed to have great steam. Mac was on the aggressive, while his op- pcnent used his legs to great advantage in tight places. ef
 Toward the end of the fight Smitt's bull dog rushes Were too much for the western man, but at the close of the twenty-first round it was odds on Mcconnell staying the limit. However, the end came in the twenty second. After some sparring, Smith forced Mcconnell into the laitters corner. There Billy feinted with his left for the body, drawing McConnell's attention to the preservation of his lower parts and this was just what Smith had been laying for. At the moment the Californian dropped his guard from the position of his jaw, Smith with half swinging hood landed his right on the mark and Mcconnell fell Mac lay for several minutes flat on his back, but the clubs proposition. revived him within six minutes. that he was able to walk but of the ring with the assistance of his seconds. .tss
