DENLY TURNS AGAINST BRYAN
The Former Minister to China Writes a
Letter on Main Issue Of the Campaign Of
1900.

1900
CHICAGO, Aug. 26. - Hon. Charles
DENLY of Indiana. ex- United States min.
lister to China, and member of the first
commission to the Philippines, lifelong
democrat, has written letter urging the
reelection of Mckinley. 1t is entitled
Organs Attitude Towards the Philip
pines" and is made public by the republi-
can national committee. The letter in
part is as follows:
''ln his speech of April II, 1900, in the
senate, Senator George Hoar said that he
could not forget that Mr.. Bryan, unless
he is much misrepresented, used all his
power and influence with those of his
friends who are ready to listen to his coun-
sells, to secure the ratification of the
treaty meaning Paris treaty. There were
II democratic senators who voted for the
ratification. two-thirds majority was
necessary. The treaty was ratified by
one vote. Mr.. Bryan has squarely as
sumed the responsibility OF the ratiiica-
| ton. We had taken Manila OH August
I3, 1898. In December 1898, Spain had
made treaty ceding the islands to us.
We had occupied them until February S,
1899. On that day Aguinaldo made war
on us, our soldiers had to fight for their
| lives. The treaty was ratified February
T. 1890. Mr.. Bryan advised his friends
| ;,,t tl,.ae 70 a.,
after the battle of February had been
fought. He knew that war had begun
He might have foreseen what compli-
cations might possibly occur out
of the existing conditions. Then was
the time to have talked about the
consent of the governed and not
now when every speech he makes adds
10 to the roll of our dead ami 100 to
the Filipino dead.
"This puts Mr.. Bryan in the attitude OF
desiring independence for the Filipinos
very ardently. Why should he become
so suddenly imbued with antagonism to
the democratic principle Of expansion as
exemplhed by all statesmen from Jeffer-
son to Vorhees? If he could stand the
annexation of Hawai-, why balk at the ac-
QUESTION Of the Philippines Mr.. Bry
ans own explanation is as follows: Il
believe that we are now in better posi-
ton to wage a successful contest against
imperialism than we would haye been
had the treaty been rejected Here, then
we have the real reason for this strange
parody of Jeky II and Hyde. He wanted
to create the bogy of imperialism in or
der that he might fight and overcome the
monster. If Mr.. Bryan had opposed the
ratification of the treaty the Filipinos
would have gone their way either into
the arms of Spain or of Germany or into
discordant, warning and petty states. AT
all events we would have done with them.
This would not have suited at all, be-
cause Mr.. Bryan wanted to wage sue
cessful war against Imperialism And so
imperialism was born and its actual
father is w. J. Bryan. He is endeavorng
to destroy his own child. Let it be re.

tleman who has accepted the nomination

roads in the interest of the people i

INDIAN TEA MERCHANT.
Harold weddIe Talks OF Conditions i'm
that Country.

Harold Weddle, a bright young English
man. a member of firm Of London tea
merchants. is staying at the Bates for a
few days. He is engaged in the tea bust
ness with his brothers. They handle India
and Ceylon tea entirely and have large
plantations in India.
Mr.. Weddle says that India TO him Is a
wonderful country. On their plantation in
India they employ about LOO coolies. Were
these people paid In American money they
would receive about s cents a day. Mr..
Weddle says it Is not the power of the
English army that keeps the natives of In
dia in line and prevents open rebellion. II
is the power of the rajahs, OF whom there
are about one hundred. They have a
mighty influence with the people and the
English government realizes this The gov
ernmen treats the rajahs royalty and
through them rules the people.
Every once in while we bring a rajah
to London and show him the big buildings
and everything that is TO be seen," said Mr.
Weddie. He goes back to India more than
ever impressed with the greatness Of Eng
land" In speaking of the in South
Africa Mr. Weddle asserts the belief that
had England known what she was taking
hold of when she started a fight with the
Beers she would not have commenced the
row. Now, since the fight is on, he says ii
must be to finish, so far as his country is
concerned, because Of the effect such a vic.
tory will have on other countries and
China in particular.

INDIANA INSTITUTIONS
Have the Finest Laundries to BE
Found in the Country.

Not long ago mention was made in the
papers of the fact that electric irons in
stead of gas irons were being used in the
laundry of an insane asylum at Pontiac.
Mich. which, according to the article. were
peculiarly adapted TO insane asylum serv-
ice. as IL prevents any chance of setting
anything on fire with the irons. In speak
Ing OF the matter yesterday, Secretary
Butler. of the State Board of Charities, said
that the writer of the article was probably
unaware that the model institutional laun-
dries of the United States were to be found
in the State of Indiana. The electric irons
and every other up-to-date utensil that
are used in laundries have been in use for
more than three years, both at the Central
Hospital for the Insane and the Southern
Hospital for the Insane. Said Mr.. Butler:
Indiana has the proud distinction OF being
come here from all parts of the country to
see our laundries. and all have unhesitat-
ingly pronounced them TO be the best
equipped of any in the country" Mr.. But
Ter said that not long ago the superinten-
dent OF the lunacy commission of New
York paid the Indiana institutions q visit
and during his conversation with the super
intendent of the Central Hospital said that
New York contemplated the establishment
OF the finest laundry in the country. In
cidentally he asked 10 see the laundry OF
the Central Hospital and when shown

ply threw up his hands and exclaimed,

TO TAX THE GAS MAINS
COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND GAS CON-
PANY OFFICERS CONFER.
Arguments Are Presented by Both
sides-Property Owners Protest
-Municipal Affairs.

For several hours last night the men,
bers Of the committee on public property
and improvements Of the City Council were
closeteu in the city clerks office with City
Attorney Kern, Judge Lamb, representing
the Consumers Gas Trust Company. and
Attorney Winter. representing the Indian
apolis Gas Company, for the purpose of
discussing the ordinance recently intro
duced before the Council to assess tax
OF cents foot on the gas mains in the
city,
The meeting was almost as important as
the many held for the purpose of arguing
the gas ordinance which was defeated
few weeks ago. President Grail, of the
Council. called during the evening. and was
an interested listener to the proceedings
This ordinance was brought up through
the contract between the city and the gas
companies made in 1857, when it was agreed
that after five years the gas companies op-
Grating in Indianapolis should be assessed
a tax of cents foot on all gas mains In
the city. Several years ago an ordinance
was introduced providing for tax upon
the gas mains but II was killed. 1t was
resurrected again short time ago. and
committee for consideration.
At the committee meeting last night the
representatives of the gas companies made
speeches in which they said that owing to
the financial condition of their respective
companies and the decreasing pressure OF
gas they could not stand such tax upon
the companies. They claimed they were
| furnishing all the gas they possibly could.
but were still running short In receipts, and
| their incomes We're decreasing SO that
| such a tax would be too much of a hard
| ship TO be imposed upon the companies.
City Attorney Kern. speaking In favor of
| the ordinance, said the contract was made
| In 1887 and the fulfillment OF 1t was long
| past due. He referred to the gas compa-
| MES in this matter. comparing them to a
| man who gave a note, and when 1t was
| due the holder expected payment. whether
| the other was able to meet IL or not. This.
| he said, is the situation In regard to the
| ordinance now under consideration. 1t was
| drawn up under the contract between the
| city and the gas companies, and 1t was due
| the city that the companies should now pay
| that much revenue into the treasury OF In
| dianapolis. 1t is estimated that should this
| ordinance be passed the two companies
would have to pay to Indianapolis In the
| neighborhood of $4,000 a year. The COM
mittee will hold another meeting soon, be-
| fore arriving at any decision.
