BRYAN ON EXPANSION.

Minneapolis, january 10.-In an in
terview today w. j. Bryan said: Il
am firm believer in the enlargement
and extension OF the limits of the re-
public. I don't mean by that the ex-
tentiOn by the addition of contiguous
territory, nor to limit myself to that.
wherever there is a people intelli-
gent enough to form a part Of this re-
public it is my belief that they should
be taken in.
Wherever there is a people who are
capable having a voice and repre-
sentation in this government, there the
limits Of the republic may be extended.
'@The Fhipiros are not such people
The democratic party has ever favored
the extension Of the limits Of this re-
public, but it has never advocated the
acquisition Of subject territory, to be
held under colonial government.

wreck of the British steamer IA issts

cember 24th, last, fully exonerates the
life saving crew from all blame. He
says that the loss of the twenty-one
lives was largely due to misjudgment
on the part of the unfortunate sailors

fore all hope for help from shore had
