VacilIation of the Republicans on Money CUES
tons Soundly RidicuIed
Vigorous Assault of Evils of Trusts and Dan
gers of Imperialism

Mr.. Bryan on taking the platform was
presented by F. L. McGhee with a hand
somely bound volume Of the life of Abra-
ham Lincoln. In making the presenta-
ton on behalf of the CoIored Citizens
league. Mr.. McGhee made neat speech,
IN which he stated that the principles of
Lincoln were today exemRIified by Col.
Bryan, and as such he was revered by all
colored citizens of the republic.
Rising to acknowledge the gift, Mr..
Bryan said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Before beginning the address which l de-
sire to make to you, 1 pause to thank Mr.
McGhee and the members of this colored
club for it's Life of Lincoln" given me-

Do not allow them to deceive you by

You must not hurt them. The Demo-

TO put on the free list an article made

WILL DELAY THE CANAL

Washington. April 1.-THE state
Department is negotiating treaties
with Costa Rica and Nicaragua for
concession which will enable this
country to build, operate and control
canal across the isthmus. The con-
cession will be practically the same az
that which has heretofore been granted
by these governments to private ind!-
viduals for the construction of canal.
1t will provide that the canal shall be
absolutely neutral; that there shall be
ten-mile zone. FIVE miles on each
side of the canal, or neutral zone, upon
which at no time shall there be any
fighting although both Costa Rica and
Nicaragua will be permitted to move
troops and arms across the zone. No
Notifications are to be erected upon II
at either entrance of the canal. Should
there be violation of the provisions
of the treaty upon the part of either
Costa Rica or Nicaragua the United
States may enter upon the neutral zon"
with an army and drive out the troops
of the offending nation or nations. The
United States. upon its part, will en-
deavor to obtain the consent of all the
maritime nations of the world to the
terms of the treaty which 1t will make
with the Central American republics.
This is the reason for the suppression
of the Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill
at this session of Congress. The gov
ernments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua
both fully realize that their greatest
benefit is to be derived from the con-
struction of the canal. They have,
nevertheless, become imbued with the
idea that the United States was over
anxious to have the canal in hurry,
and therefore have been holding on.
in the hope of obtaining large sums of
money in return for the concession.
The apparent eagerness of Hepburn
and his followers to push his bill at
this session mas encouraged the gov
ernments of Nicaragua and Costa RiCa
to stand out against the plain terms OF
the treaty which this Government has
been endeavoring to negotiate.

Prof. Erisman is an ardent Republican,
as is his wife also. Incidentally, too,
they are both admirers of Senator Shell
by Cullom. In discussing this inter-
esting family event they had decided If
the expected arrival should prove to be
boy they would name him Shelby
Cullom. When, instead of one, two
boys put in an appearance in the Eris-
man household, 1t was decided at once
to name one Shelby and the other Gull

wrote the Senator, apprising him OF
the advent of the twins and the name
bestowed on each. Yesterday Prof.
Erisman received letter from Senator
Cullom acknowledging the honor:

write me occasionally, letting me know
how they get along. Sincerely yours,
