THIRTY MEMORIALS
 HAVE BEEN NAMED
The Election in the Hall of Fame Contest Was Con-
 cIuded Yesterday With Interesting Results

the Filipino, when you get him? Are you going to kill him?
 Ave are not going to kill the Fli- pno unless he tries to kill our soldiers, and he will stop trying to kill our soldiers very soon after he becomes convinced that he will not receive further aid in his efforts from the party of which MT. Bryan is chief. As to what we are going to do with him, the answer is simple. We are going to civilize him and give him the peace, or- der and individual liberty and gradual in- crease of self-government of which Mir. Bryan would deprive him for all time by turning him over to a syndicate of corrupt Chinese half breeds and ferocious Tagal bandits''
 The Attacks on the Army
 MT. Bryan yesterday attempted to an- swer what 1 said about his attacks on the United States army. He says that the President in his message of December, 1893, asked for an army of 100000 men two months before there was any war in the Philipine Islands He asks, Does MT. Roosevelt know this?' Of course 1 know 1t and let me also add that MT. Bryan ought to know that at the very time in December the Filipino insurgent army were at our outposts and a collision was immi- nent any moment. Aguinaldo at that time was trying to organize the remnants of the Spanish army in conjunction with his own army in war against us.
 ''The bill In which the increase of the army was provided, itself sets forth the conditions in the Philippines for the purpose of increasing the army. Every in telligent observer knew there would be trouble In the Philippines if the treaty was confirmed. The bill for the temporary in- crease which MT. Bryan apparently seeks to persua de his hearers, Is permanent in- crease, was introduced by Senator Cockrill of Missouri, a Democrat supporter of MT. nd he hnl Of a Dem- ocrats in both houses voted for it-for at that time the Kansas City platform had not sought to make the dishonor of the flag a national issue, and the Democratic con- ventions in Colorado and Cerfornia had in their platforms called for the retention of the Philippine islands.
 'The record therefore shows this present temporary army of 5000 regulars and S5,OO0 volunteers was called for in December be- cause of threatened trouble in the Philip pines. Any statesman with the slightest pretentions to the name, could but see that trouble was threatening and would have been criminally derelict In his duty to the nation had he failed to provide for it.
 '"rhe trouble was certain to arise, having in view the attitude of Aguinaldo, unless we rejected the treaty; and indeed the out break occurred just before the treaty was accepted.
 "When MT. Bryan did his part in work ing for the acceptance of the treaty by the Senate, he -estopped himself from any right to crlticise the carrying out of the pledge which he said must be made in advoca ting that treaty.
 Now, 1 have answered MT. Bryan's ques- ton on this, as l will gladly answer any question he can put to me Now let him show equal frankness and readiness in answering these questions:
 As .- Nr, .tryaa oine Questions
