No one can read the press re-
ports OF the proceedings Of the
Republican conference at Wash
ington on the subject of the pro-
posed Porto Rico tariff without q
sense Of pity. Barely has so abb
ject : spectacle been presented
BY . national administration as
thst which has just been Witness
cd. And If there be one feature
of the strange occasion more wor-
thy Of contempt than another it is
That furnished by President Nc
Kinley. The shifty, evasive, in
sincere and indecisive character
Of the man is there revealed.
How complete q tool much such
. man be in the hands of the UNI
scrupulous cabal who all but
publicly avowed their ownership
Of him. Taking . stand in favor
Of the abolition Of all customs
tAxdn between the United States
and Porto Rico ut the outset,
which won the public approval,
and, among many, evoked adj
miration, his appearance before
that conference is that of q polit-
ical coward who feels that he is
unworthy Of trust by his friends
or Of serious hostility by his OPP
ponents.

BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN.


Omaha, Neb., Sept. 2S,-W. ]. Bryan
started yesterday from Lincoln upon
his last tour of the country in the in
terest of his presidential campaign.
He made the first stop at Papillion,
the county seat of Sarpey county.
In order to make the point in time
for the meeting Mr.. Bryan left the
Rock Island train at Richfeld and
drove five miles across the country,
The county is strongly democratic
and the national candidate was cor
daily received. He contended that
the policies promised by the demo
cratic party were in the interest of
the people throughout, while those
of the republican party were an
tagonistc to the public welfare. Es-
pecially, he commended, was the demo-
cratic plan of government in the in
terest Of the farmer. The day was
spent in eastern Nebraska and at
night Mr. Bryan crossed the Missouri
river to Sioux City. H., where he
took the special ear provided by the
national committee for his accom-
mediation during the remainder of the
campaign.

THE NAVAL BUREAU.
Estimates for the Navy Now in
Secretary Longs Hands.
no EXTENSIVE PROJECTS INVOLVED.
Tho Chief Item, ~ Usual, Ia That for tAs
Increase Of the Navy. Which Calls
for ~ Expenditure Of About
$4,000. 900:

Washington, Oct. LIN anticipation
of the assembling of congress two
months hence, October / has been set
as the time for receiving the annual
reports from the naval bureau chiefs,
outlining the naval work to be done
during the coming year. Most of the
estimates are now completed and in
the hands of Secretary Long, and the
more detailed reports will go in with
in the next few days. Until they have
been gone over by the secretary no
authentic details are available. In
the main, however, they are under
stood to involve little in the way of
extensive or new projects, and to
cover only the usual requisites of the
service for the year. The chief item
as usual is that for "the increase of
the navy" covering both construc-
ton and engineering work on ships
already authorized. This will be in
the neighborhood of S20,0O0,0O0. In
the branch of yards and docks it Is un-
derstood the total will be not far
from S13,000.000 and will not involve
any additional dry docks or extensive
changes in our naval stations. In adj
dition to the foregoing item for in
crease of the navy there is the usual
sum for repair of vessels already in
service, which is a considerable item,
amounting this year to approximate
ly $7,000,000. In the branch of steam
engineering the estimates do not 60
beyond the requirements for carry
ing forward the regular service. The
item of armor and armament is of
special interest in view of the contro-
versy over armor, but the future
course regarding this probably will
depend considerably on the result Of
the present efforts to get armor with
In the rate fixed by the last congress.
The report contains among other
interesting articles one by Lieut.. W.
L. Howard, summarizing compactly
the increase of naval strength during
the past year by the great maritime
powers. A topical article of value is
contributed by Lieut.. L. R. Desteiguer
on the subject of wireless telegraphy.
This recites just what each of the
naval powers has done towards the
utilization of Marconis discovery and
embodies a thorough review of the
state of the art of long distance wire
less transmission by competent Ger
man authority. In general it appears
that the experiments have resulted
satisfactorily, and the British army
in South Africa, by the use of kites
for the vertical wires have managed
to transmit messages a distance of IS
miles, or more than ten miles further
than the distance which separates
Tien Tsin from Pekin, which still
proves to be impracticable for ordi-
nary telegraph methods

Chicago, Oct. IA special to the
Record from Salt Lake, Utah. says:
Leon Mayhue, private in Troop |,
Eleventh United States cavalry, Nho
return from the Philippines Sunday,
was present when Gen. Henry W. Law
ton was killed last December near San
Mateo. He saw the shot fired and
declares that the man who aimed the
rife was deserter from the Ameri-
can army. He said:
Gen. Lawtop took our troop from
the Eleventh cavalry as scouts when
he came down from the north to cap
ture San Mateo. He planned the bat
tie for December 10 and on the night
before at 1880 we proceeded toward
the town, travelling 20 miles. We
reached the outskirts Of the city at
daylight and firing began about s
o'clock.
~ was with the skirmish line within
50 yards of Gen. Lawton and we saw
a man in black trousers, showing con-
spicuously among the white uniforms
of the insurgent officers, come out on
the tower of tbe church. He surveyed
the ground on which we stood very
carefully, then raised his musket and
fired. At that instant Gen. Lawton,
who was dismounted, moved his hand
across his face as if to brush away
an insect and sank to his knees.
Eve found in the church about 100
yards of telegraph tape, which inter-
preted showed that Gen. Del Pillar and
an American had been in command OF
the insurgents. That night word was
brought in from the insurgent line
that they intended capturing Lawtons
body. We knew then that had there
not been an American in that church
who saw him fall the Fiipinos would
not have known he was dead"

RETURNS FROM STATES NEXT
Giving Dat Of the Populations Of Cities
Practically Finished bv the Gem
sus Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The census
bureau finished the enumeration of
all the cities in the United States of
over $4,000 inhabitants, with the ex-
ception of Los Angeles, Portland,
Ore, Seattle and Tacoma. The work
of announcing the states will come
next, beginning with Arkansas.
The states will be announced in
short bulletins, giving the total pop
ulation, the increase over the two
preceding census reports, the popula-
ton by counties and the population
of each of the cities under $4,000, in
GLIDING all the Incorporated towns
within the state limits.
1t is hoped to complete the work on
the states by the time congress as
vital statistics will be published. In
teresting bulletins are expected.
So far as the work has progressed,
1t appears likely that the present CEN
sus will cost in the neighborhood OF
$15.OO0,00O.
