THE SAME OLD DOGMA
Advanced by Bryan I'm a Speech at
Cincinnati.

Advanced Dy bryan IN n speech at
Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 17.-William Jen-
nings Bryan addressed an audience of five
thousand at Music Hall tonight on pend
ing questions, under the auspices Of the
Cincinnati Bimetallic Council. He said the
time had come when no farmer or laborer
could afford to be a Republican. He said
that party had entirely changed front. He
quoted from Lincolns letter to a Boston
Republican meeting in 1859, and also from
his first message, in which Lincoln said
that he feared monarchical tendencies In
the Republic. Passing to the money ques-
ton, he said he had been asked to drop
that question. He believed in it, that is.
in the double standard. AS to dropping
the money question, he said there was no
man in this Nation big enough to let that
question fall in such way as to break it.
Following up the criticism of the Repub-
lican party he devoted considerable time
to the currency bill before Congress. Pass
ing to the trust question, he argued that
monopolies could be stopped by the exer-
else of powers within the province of Con-
greSS. The greater part of his twO-hOur
speech was devoted to the Philippine ques-
ton. This he said was an issue on which
American sentiment had never been ex-
pressed in any national election. He dis
cussed the defense of the Philippine policy,
and was very severe on the theory that the
possession of the Philippines would pay
His solution of that question would be to
announce to the Filipinos, as had been an
nounced to the Cubans, that they would be
assisted in establishing an independent
government. and would afterward receive
the same protection in maintaining ii as
the South American republics had received
He will go from here at noon tomorrow
directly to Washington, and thence to New
Jersey and New York.

Complaint Filed mt Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE State of
Missouri, by it's attorney general, E. B.
Crow, made application in the Supreme
Court to-day. and asked leave to file bill
praying for an injunction against the State
of Illinois and the city of Chicago, to re-
strain them from operating the recently
opened drainage canal. The court took
the motion, but did not indicate when ac-
ton would be taken.
The principal ground of objection raised
by the bill of complaint filed by Mr.. Crow
is that the sewage from the canal will
pollute the water OF the Mississippi river.
1t is set forth that there are several cities
and towns on the Mississippi below the
mouth of the Illinois river which derive
their water for drinking and other pur-
poses from the Mississippi and that these
waters are indispensable to the life and
health and business of many thousands of
the inhabitants of the State" 1t is con-
tended that Lake Michigan is the natural
receptacle of the drainage of Chicago and
that unless diverted it would find its way
into the lake instead of the Mississippi
river. Mr.. Crow also represents that not
only will the current filth of 100000 peo-
pie be turned into the Mississippi through
the canal. but also that which has &C
cumulated on the banks of the Chicago
river for years past, amounting daily to
about 1,5OO tons of poisonous and noxious
matter" III this is permitted he saws, the
waters of the Mississippi Twill of GER
tainty be poisoned and polluted and rem
dered wholly unfit and unhealthful for
drinking and domestic uses" also that IL
VIII render useless the various water works
plants on the Mississippi below the en-
trance of the Illinois. On this account IL
is urged that the health and lives of the
people will be endangered and their bust
ness interests irreparably injured He asks
for both a temporary and permanent in
junction

CAPT. JEFFERY's GAtLANTRY.
Work of an Acting Quartermaster in
the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Captain John
b. Jeffery. who was acting quartermaster
of volunteers, has been recommended for
brevetship for gallant and distinguished
service by General Marcus p. Miller, In
a letter addressed to Quartermaster Cen
eral Ludington. The officer was attached
to the staff of General Miller as brigade
quartermaster and afterward as depot
says that Captain Jeffrey rendered very
valuable service when Iloilo was captured.
the captain courageously taking possession
of steel vessel, the Samar, lying directly
under the guns of the fort, and with this
vessel towing the small boats containing
the troops to the shore. The officer also
went ashore at considerable personal risk
and seized material with which the en-
gines of the steamer Newport were re-
paired, saving the government from S1O-
900 to $4,000.
Later on he saved the Samar from re-
capture by the natives. When the troops
landed Captain Jeffery hoisted the stars
and stripes over the Spanish bank estab-
lished hospital, drove out a body of in
surgents and saved property valued at
$4,500,0O0, according to the testimony Of a
wealthy Filipino merchant. 1t happened.
curiously enough, that Captain jeffrey was
court-martialed on charge of looting as
a result of this salvage of property, but
he was triumphantly acquitted, the owner
OF the property, Senior Estaban de la
Rama, certifying that it was solely through
the captains efforts that his property was
saved. To add to his brilliant record, the
officer is credited by General Miller with
having saved 1loilo from a water famine
when the city was burning; with cleaning
up the city after the fire through the en-
ployment of a large number of Chinese
enabling travel to be opened up; with pro-
curing transportation for the army, sup
plying the troops, and with being the first
depot quartermaster at Iloilo. General
Miller says in conclusion: II wish to say
that when there was any hazardous or i'm
portant duty to be done he showed marked
executive ability, promptness and readiness
in executing my orders. That he we'll sue
ceeded is matter of record" Jeffrey was
honorably mustered out on July Is, last
and has just arrived in Washington.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Play was resumed
here to-day in the fourteen-inch balk-line
handicap match between Jake Schaefer
who is endeavoring to score 5000 points
against 1,5O0 by Ora Morningstar, the
young Chicago shortstop. Schaefer lost
ground to-day and was unable to break
through the lead which his opponent has
maintained from the beginning of the con-
test. The veteran professional opened his
string from the 723 mark while Morning
star started with 400 buttons to his credit.
The afternoon session was sluggish,
neither player showing any brilliancy. In
the evening Jake made two big runs, 81
and 81, but failed to do better because Of
illness from which he has recently suffered.
The worries rolled badly for him too, while
all the good set-ups fell to the lot Of
Morningstar. The score: Afternoon game,
Morningstar, 100; average, 16 4.6; high run,

INTO THE DESPLAINES
CHICAGO SEWAGE LET OUT OF THE
CANAL INTO THE RIVER.
Dam at LOckport Raised and n Flood
of Water Sent Speeding Towards
the Gulf-St. Louis Outwitted.

LOCKPORT, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE pear-trap
dam separating the drainage canal from
the Desplaines river was lowered by the
sanitary district trustees. with the consent
of the canal commissioners and Governor
Tanner. at 11:16 o'clock to-day, and 100000
cubic feet of water per minute rushed with
a roar into the Desplaines river on its way
to the Gulf of Mexico.
The opening of the drainage canal to-
day was the elimination of all-night
vigil by the board of trustees and canal
commissioners at Joliet, which ended in
their securing the necessary permission
from Governor Tanner. A special train
carried the trustees and commissioners
from Chicago to Joliet at 2 o'clock this
morning. After fruitless efforts to reach
Governor Tanner at Springfield by tele-
graph, communication was secured by tele-
phone, and a conference was held with the
Governor. At 1920 o'clock this morning he
telephoned permission to lower the dam at
Lockport
The trustees and commissioners crowded
together on the top of the south abutment
and about two hundred spectators gained
other points of vantage. Colonel Isaac L.
Taylor, president of the canal commission,
said: This is the completion of one of the
greatest engineering feats of modern times.
We have found, after careful investiga-
ton by one of the best engineers of the
country, that the sanitary commission has
fully complied with the law of 1899, and
Governor Tanner has granted permission
to open this canal. 1 take this occasion
to state that this is but che commencement
of a greater work which will connect the
shipping of the great lakes of the North
with the Mississippi river and the Gulf of
Mexico. Under permission granted by Coy
ernor Tanner. of the State of Illinois,
hereby authorize you to lower the DAM"
The massive machinery that operates the
dam was set in motion and sheet of green
water shot down the incline of the dam
to the Desplaines river Immediately be-
low. Gradually the dam was lowered, and
the sheet of water increased in depth.
Three feet below the surface of the water
the dam was stopped and 100000 cubic feet
of water went pouring into the Desplaines
river with a roar. The water was of
perfect green color and bore but the faint
est trace of odor, scarcely perceptible. Ow-
ing to the falling of the derrick which
operates the anti-friction rollers of the
seven gates Immediately north of the dam
1T will probably take day two to re-
pair the damage, and then the gates will
be opened and the dam raised, allowing the
water to run through the gates into the
Desplaines.

MEASURES BY Mr.. BRYAN
SUGGESTED BY HIM TO THE LEGIS-
LATURE OF KENTUCKY.
Progress I'm the COntests-Black-
burns Election Ratifed-Sixteen-
to-One Speech at Cincinnati.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. H.-Twenty-one
witnesses were examined by the guberna-
torial boards of contest to-day. all of them
being introduced by the Democrats. Twenty
of the witnesses testified in relation to the
so-called tissue ballots, all of them saying
that the ballots used at the polls in Pike.
Martin, Johnson, Knox and Magofin coun-
ties were of so transparent a nature that
the marks made by the voters upon them
could be seen. In almost every instance
the Republicans. upon cross-examination.
brought from these witnesses the state
ment that the vote of the various districts
in which the thin ballots were used did
not. in the last election, differ from the
average vote at preceding elections.
The Legislature met in joint session at
noon to-day to make final comparison of
