Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 11.-AIuch dis
order characterized w. J. Bryan's visit
to Ann Arbor this afternoon. The
students of the state university, which
is located here, were at the meeting
in large numbers, and each one made
his presence felt. A platform had been
erected beside the court house, and the
whole side of the square and street was
packed with humanity, a majority of
those nearest the stand being students
Mr.. Bryan had no sooner shown his
face than the boys began a claInor,
which did not cease for ten or fifteen
minutes. Even after Mr.. Bryan ad-
Vanced TO the front of the stage the din
continued, but IL ultimately subsidized
sufficiently h G'lOw him to begin
I am LAD =~ ak to YOU he began,
''if you're I--- to Hsten.''
A few voices r=sponded:

IF were an imperialist," Mr.. Bryan
went on, I would call out an army
to suppress you, but am not
This sally seemed to please the young
men and most of them laughed and

an extent, however, that a policeman
was compelled to enter the crowd and
arrest several of the nOisiest. After
this, however, while the interruptions
were frequent they generally took the
shape of questions.
One brought out the specific decIara-
ton from Mr.. Bryan:
THE Democratic party is for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1.
without waiting for she consent Of
any other nation
By the time Mr. Bryan concluded
the confusion had ceased almost en-
trely and he closed amid cheers.
At the time of the arrest Of some of
the students Mr.. Bryan's attention was
not called TO the fact, and he did not
know of it until after the close of the
meeting. When informed of what had
been done, he Immediately sent the fol-
lowing telegram:
If it is true, as I am informed, that
some of the college boys were arrested
for disturbing the meeting, please ask
for their discharge I am sure it was
the result Of bOyish thOUghtlessnesS
and not malice"
Speaks of Trusts.
Mr.. Bryan took up the trust question,
at the beginning of his speech and
asked:
Are you willing to defend a system
by which a few men control a great
branch Of industry and sell to the peO-
pie at trust prices, buy of the people
at trust prices, and then employ labor
on such terms as the trust may fix2
You young men do not want that kind
of government. YO do not want a gov
that can punish a horse thief
but cannot punish a trust magnate, de-
you? That is the kind of government
you have nOw?"
A voice asked what he would do
about trusts, and Mr. Bryan replied:
I'VE have remedy, and our remedy
is first to put every truSt-made ar
ticle on the free list; second, we pro-
pose that congress shall provide that
before any corporation does business
outside of the state of its origin it
shall take out a, license from the fed
eral government. and this shall only
be given when the corporation shows
that 1t has no water in its stock and.
that it is not attempting to mOnOpOlize
any branch of business. believe that
that viii be a, remedy for trusts. be
lieVe that no private monopoly could
exist"
McKinIey's Attitude to Negroes.
A voice: How about North Caro-
lina?''
Mr.. Bryan: 'I thought there would
be some North Carolina men here, and
so [ brought a bulletin issued by the
government under this administration,
and therefore know it must be right
1t was issued Aug. %, and when you
people worry about the educational
in North Carolina I want
you to know that your own administra-
ton has fixed an educational qua1lnca-
ton for voters in Porto Rico, and &C
cording TO this bulletin only Il per
cent of the negroes of voting age in
Porto Rico can vote under the educa-
rionaI qualifications fixed by your pres
dent And my friends. remember that
IN the south the educational quaGhca-
ton does not take from the man the
protection of the constitution, so far as
their rights are concerned, but you take
from the people of Porto Rico the pro-
lection of our constitution, and under
these qualifications we shut out IS per
cent of the black men there
In conclusion. Mr. Bryan said
IF you believe in a colonial policy for
his country, vote the republican
ticket. but if you want trusts destroy
size. the Industrial independence mere
and independence in the Philippines,
we will do all we can to carry out the
promises in our platform
