THE ATTITUDE OF BRYAN

speech to the commercial travellers: il is
not the attitude that should be pursued
when this question is TO be discussed for
he purpose of reaching an intelligent con-
siusion. Now. our platforms on this prop
sition are not the same. The Republican
party and the Democratic party are both
opposed to trusts Let me read what our
Democratic friends say, so that you will
understand exactly in the beginning what
we are discussing and their attitude They
say: They are the most efficient means
yet devised for appropriating the fruits of
industry for the benefit of the few and at
the expense of the many. and unless their
insstiate greed Is checked all wealth will
be aggregated in a few hands and the Re-

LONDON, June S-The driblets Of news
filtering from the Transvaal fail to throw
much light on the situation in and around
Pretoria. Public interest centers largely in
the fate of the British prisoners, but 1t
seems probable that about $500 have been
recovered, including 129 officers. The fed
erals, therefore, have removed about a
thousand as hostages.
The Lourenzo Marquee dispatch to the
effect that United States Consul Hollis has
been comforting with President Kruger is
creating some comment, but in view of the
Washington dispatch which asserts that
Mr.. Hollis has no official errand to the
Transvaal there IS little disposition to re-
gard his movements as at all significant.
A special dispatch from Pretoria says
that the only shell which took effect in the
town the day prior to the occupation of
Pretoria hit the United States consulate.
A dispatch from Cape Town announces
that the work of organizing the govern
ment of the Transvaal is proceeding. A
portion of Sir Alfred Miners staff has gone
to Pretoria to start the machinery, SO the
proclamation of the annexation of the
Transvaal may be speedily expected.

PROFESS SATISFACTION
DEMOCRATS ON THE MARYLAND AND
NEW YORK PLATFORMS.
Willing to Have support of Those
Who Do Not IndOrse the
Platform of 1896.

In the excitement and hustle Of the clos
ing of Congress there has been subsi-
dence for the time being in the discussion
of presidential candidates. The only poll
tics that has occupied Congress during the
past two days has been that which forms a
part of campaign speeches and maneuvers
in the two houses.
The platforms adopted by the democratic
convention in New York and in Maryland.
although they had been extensively dis
cussed in anticipation. have passed almost
without comment among democrats in Con-
gress. Until today most of those whose
opinion was sought said that they had not
had time to more than glance at the plat
forms reported in the press.
The Bryan people, who have looked into
the matter. say now that they are satisfied
or the whole with the outcome, though IN
the case of Maryland there was neither in
struc:ion for Bryan nor Endorsement of the
Chicago platform. and in New York their
victory was confined to the instruction of
the delegation for Bryan.
1t is commented that in some features the
two platforms are in idcnt.c:.ly the same
language and this suggests that the origi-
nal intention of some of the leaders like
Mr.. German and MIR. Hill was to make
them identical throughout on the plan of
the one adopted in Maryland, and that the
plan miscarred in New York. However this
may be, it is said that the New York plat
form gives great satisfaction, and that
there is no complaint against Maryland in
asmuch as that platform. being an express
sion of the position of democrats not agree
ing with the Bryanitcs. pronounces other
issues of enough consequence to lead them
to support the democratic party, notwith-

those democrats who do not accept their
theories are yet willing to Loyalty support

BIDS FOR ARMoR PLATE.
The Navy Department Will Advertise
for Proposals.

The Navy Department is about to issue
advertisements calling for proposals for
supplying face-hardened armor of the best
type for the battle ships already building;
for the protected cruisers already author
lied and for the three battle ships provided
for in the new naval appropriation bill.
Having been assured that much better
terms could be extended by the armor COM
panies If the contracts were for large
amounts of armor the eNavy Department
will test this by providing in the advertise
ments for the submission of bids of three
classes. namely, for supplying 10000 tons of
armor, then for 10000 tons and finally for
supplying 10000 tons.
There is reason to believe that under the
last provision, at least the companies will
offer to provide arInor, for less than $500
per ton. 1t will be for Secretary Long to
determine whether their terms are reason
able; if not, he must build an armor plant.
The weight of opinion. however, is to the
effect that any rate below $500 will be re-
garded as reasonable"
