BRYAN'S MISTAKE
Has Wasted Time in New York
He Says,
Not Knowing Whole State Would
BE at OsWegO.

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct 1s.-William J.
Bryan travelled half way across the EN-
pire state yesterday from east to west
He began his journey at Albany and,
following the course Of the picturesque
Mohawk and the line of the Erie canal,
he reached this point late in the after
noon From here he made a run north
ward to the southern shore of Lake Erie
and made a half hours speech at Os-
wegO. Later he spoke here. The other
points at which he spoke during the day
were Schenectady, Fonda, Johnstown,
GlOversville, Amsterdam, Fort Plain,
Little Falls, Herkimer, Ilion, Frankfort,
Utica, Rome, Oneida Canastoga Chit
tango and Dewitt The attendance at
a majority of the meetings was conpli-
1nentary in size and some of the audi
ences were very large In comparatively
few places was there marked enthu-
siasm- There was. however, close atten-
ton. and in no case was there any inter
TuptiOn of note. The Oswego meeting
was the best attended and in other re-
spects the most notable of the day
Mr.. Bryan spoke from a balcony in
front Of SJanwick hall in Rome Imme-
diately in front Of him were suspended
large portraits Of the Democratic nonni-
ueeS on the national ticket, while only
q few steps away the portraits of Nc
kinley and Roosevelt swung across the
street His audience at this place was
large and attentive and his speech was
punctuated with frequent bursts Of ap-
plause- Expressing his pleasure at be-
ing IN Rome, Mr. Bryan said that the
large attendance could not accounted
for upon the ground Of curiosity, be
cause he had been in this city before
and the people there had had an oppor-
tunity to see and hear him. He accused
the Republicans of avoidance of the real
issues of the campaign and asked:
DO they not insult the intelligence of
votes and yer decline to outline what
they are going to do? Read the plat
form of our party, compare it with the
platform of the Republican party, and
you viii find the difference is that the
Democratic position is stated with a
clearnesS that admits of no ambiguity
while the Republican party states its
position in glittering generalities and
spends more time Dragging about the
rain that the Lord has sent than in tell
ing Of the imperial reign that the Re-
publican party intends to bring upon this
country
Referring to the trusts in the Utica
speech he said:
IF the Democratic party Is intrusted
with power it is pledged to put forth
every effort to destroy private monopoly
in the nation, state and city, and I think
that even the Republicans now give me
credit for being in honest in my deter
mination to carry out the platform. In
fact, senator said the other day that
that was the objection to me, that I
was honest and therefore dangerous-an
objection that can not be made to some
Republicans who have been in power. I

shotguns Instead of winchesters.

For a long while railroad and express
company manag gements have devoted
considerable attention to the question OF
holdups and how they could be stopped,
admittedly a difficult problem for solu-
ton The latest proposition in this con-
nection comes from the express compa-
MES and it is insisted that a shotgun is
a better weapon for the express messen-
ger to handle when. in a tight place than
a Winchester. And all because of the
fact that with a shotgun loaded with
buckshot an express messenger on the
Burlington railroad, last week saved mis-
train as well as his car from a holdup by
stopping the bandit. The question of
using shotguns instead Of rifles has al
ready been sprung and it is more than
probable that a change will be made.

mortgages having a prior lien, was $685.

STEEL RAILS TOO HIGH.
Railroads Object to Paying Agreed
Price of $26 Per Ton.


Regarding the agreement of manufac-
turers of steel rails to fix the price at
S26 per ton during the winter season,
the following opinions are expressed by
leading railway officials:
James J. Hill think that rails should
be sold for $2S or $24 a ton; $24 at the
outside.
Aldace F. WaIker-There won't be
many rails sold at $26 a ton.
Roswell Miller-Rails should be sold
for less than $25 a ton.
w H. Truesdale-In my opinion a fair
price for rails would be $23 or $24 a ton.
Lucius Tuttle-We are not buying rails
at $26 a ton.
William Bliss-Twenty-six dollars a
ton is a pretty stiff price.
Large orders for rails at $26 a ton
have been given recently, however, by
the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio,
and other roads. Tt is stated, however,
that in the $50 600 ton order of the Penn
sylvania system the price is to be sub
ject to any decline that may take place
before the actual delivery of the rails

SECURE ELECTION BULLETINS.
Small Towns Apply Early For Rail-
way Telegraph Service.

Lack of interest in the forthcoming
election is discredited by the prepara-
tions that are already being made for
bulletin service of the returns. Some of
the small towns in the southwest have
begun sending in their applications to
the railroad telegraph departments that
operate the lines in the outlying terri
tories.
The Santa Fe has half dozen applica-
tions to make bulletin arrangements on
hand now. This is sending word in
ten days to two weeks earlier than usual
and is taken as an indication interest
in the elections result is more keen
than has been generally supposed.

The report shows That the urgent

during the past 80 years. in fact.
says General Miles, the force has been
so much reduced that at the present
time there are not one-fourth enough
troops properly to care for and man
the Notifications which have been
erected on the sea coast at an expen-
diture of nearly $55,000000. In addi-

cupy the interior garrisons properly,
or to protect life and property on the

with those of other nationalities, and
praises the Americans.

He Don't Favor Cutting Down South's

Congressional Representation.

The president is said to be opposed

On account of the presidents atti
tude there is, a growing opinion that
such legislation will not be pressed
by party leaders in congress. In this
connection it is suggested that any ac-
ton taken with reference to the suf-
frage of the south in advance of the
adoption of a definite policy in the
Philippines might throw some embar-
rassment in the way of the proper dis
position of the citizenship rights of
the Filipinos, and. moreover, it is felt
