other American women were coming

stoned. The women fell exhausted
and were taken by the Cinnamon in
to the presence of the local officials.
They were prostIated upon the exc

came hysterical and laughed, and
thinking her insane, the Chinese es-
corted her To the coast because of
their superstitions regarding the in

woman was repeatedly criminally as
saulted by her escort.
The other woman, after being ex-
hioited naked for some days, and
suffering assault by several men, was
tortured to death by the same shame
ful methods as were practiced in the
other cases.
Placards appeared to-day in all

BRYAN SPEAK
Eloquent Speeches at
Cumberland, Md.
ABS TRACT OF THE SPEECHES.
Bryans Journey Across the
State Was Devoid of Labor
for Him-Made Brief Ad-
dresses from the Rear Plat
form of the Train,

| aaA w VIC
Cumberland, Md. Sept. 4-The
opening OF the Democratic campaign
Tor the States of Maryland and West
Virginia at this place tonight was
rendered memorable by the appear
auce on the same platform OF the
Democratic national standard bearer,
Hon. w. ). Bryan. and United States
Senator George l.. Wellington, who
was elected as Republican. Both
of these distinguished gentlemen
were in good voice and both spoke
with their accustomed force. Soma
tor Wellington's speech marked his
formal renuncia.ion OF the party ties,
on account Of the issues growing out
of the war with Spain. He had for
this reason prepared his speech with
care and he read it from type written
manuscript
MIR. Bryan spoke without notes,
and he appeared at the meeting al
most immediately after the arrival of
his special train. The journey of
the Presidential candidate across the
State Was not devoid of labor for
hi,h, for while h, left the train only
once, on the journey, he made
number of brief addresses from the
rear platform of the hindmost car.
THAT oAT STORY.
During the DAY Mr.. Bryan's item
tion was called TO an extract from n
New York Republi an newspaper,
saying that MIR. Bryan had made
more money out of the oat crop
rasied on bis Lincoln farm the pres
ent season than the entire farm had
cost him, putting the result at four
teen hundred dollars on one hun
dred dollars on one hundred and
twenty acres of land Commenting
upon this statement, Mr.. Bryan
said
'"The entire farm contains only 30
acres and cost me Dearly four thous-
and dollars, although the land is not
worth that much today. Instead of
having one hundred and twenty acres
of oats, | had only five acres in oats,
and the oats have not yet been
threshed. They will hardly yield
forty bushels to the acre. Oats, in.
stead OF being thirty cents bushel /
in Nebraska, are worth twenty-one
cents in Chicago. My oat crop will
not bring me over forty dollars. The
FIVE acres upon which he oats were
raised cost me little over one
hundred dollars an acre, so that the
gross income this year will be less
than eight per cent. on the original
Investment. After taking out the
cost of seed, cultivation. harvesting
aud threshing, the income will be
reduced to less than five per cent.
The Republican papers use my farm
to illustrate the prosperous condition
OF the farmer. If my experience is q
fair illustration of what is going on
in the country, it is not strange that
the Republican party is losing votes
among the agricultural classes. The
Republicans point to the farmer
when his crop is good, but make 10
mention of the fact that when his
crop fails he not only losses his in
come, but loses the money put into
the CROP"
