BANQUET TO TONNE.
William J. Bryan the Chief Speaker
 of the Evening.

Duluth. Minn., Oct. l6.-Eight hundred men of all shades Of political opinion sat down at the farewell banquet rendered by Duluth citi- gems to Charles Towne at the Armory night. while fully 500 ladies were present in the galleries to hear the speeches of William J. Bryan, MT. Towne and others after the discussion of the menu.
 The affair non-partisan and carried out with the intention of the promoters to make it a testimonial to Mir. Towres personal pop ularity among his friends and nnighbors Scores Of prominent Democclts. however, were present from all parts of he State. Mir. Bry- ans subject was Moral Courage" and he took occasion to shower enconiums on the guest of the evening for his notable display spectacular farewell to the Republican party to follow silver.
 He said: Some may be disposed to stamp the word failure upon the political career of our distinguished guest but he has set an example that must weigh heavily on the side of civic virtue. He has faced without nnch- ing fire as hot and hellish ever came from cannons mouth and he has won vic- tory greater and more glorious than ever feet of power or bartered his manhood to se- cure an office'
 MT. Bryan did not inject any politics into his speech which was brief and directed large ly to Mir. Towne. He said, however, that great issues are at stake; great interests are involved; aye, even our civilization itself and through us the civilization of the world This nation is a world power: it has not ac- quired its influence by but for a century every citizen owes it to his country as well as to his generation and posterity to throw the weight of his influence on the right side of every public question"

RUSSIA AND CHINA.
Former Again Trying to Force
 Treaty on the Latter.

London, Oct. 1.-The new Manchurian convention which has been the subject of regotiatlon between M. Paul Lessar (Rus- sian Minister to China) and Ii Hung Chang. is on the same lines as the con- vcntion which Russia withdrew April 5, says the Pekin correspondent of The Times. but it is more cieverly worded, so Ss to save China's face.
 In consequence of previous disclosures a jealous secrecy has been observed; but the important negt tiations by which Rus- sia seeks to legallze her occupation of Manchuria have been entrusted to Ii Hung Chang. who can be better trusted to serve Russian interests than any other Chinese statesman.
 Prince Ching is indignant because he has been kept in ignorance and both the Yang-Tse viceroys have twice protested acainst the negotiations The same pow erful opposition that was employed before is again endeavoring to prevent the sig nature of the convention: but Russia s p1 omise to rt store the railway from Shan Hai Kwan to Nieu Chwang is a powerful lever in the hands of M. Lessar.

ASToR AS AN ENGINEER.
New York Millionaire at the Throt-A
 tie of Locomotive.

Chicago, Oct, I6.-John Jacob Astor' of New York dropped the role of millionaire and took up that of locomotive engineer for short time today. With blue jeans overals and buckskin gloves the colonel sat on the right side of a locomotive cab and piloted the fast mail on the Lake Shore road It not a record breaking performance but 1t came very near the mark and proved at least one of the New York 400 can do things ou: ot the usual.
 Colonel Astor was scheduled to come to Chi cago in company with Preside ent Stuyvesant Fish of the Illinois Central road to attend the annual meeting which was held today. He missed the train to which attached the presidents private car and the directors gave up the idea of having him at the meeting. Be- fore they reached Chicago their doubts were dispelled by the receipt of telegram stating that he would be here tirle.
 In order to keep his word he took the fast mail at New York at 8. 45 Tuesday morning. When Elkhart was reached at sos o'clock this morning the Colonel decided to complete the trip on the engine Out of South Bend there is fairly straight stretch of track, with a slight down grade westbound The engineer invited his guest to take the reins'' and the invitation was coupled with another to ''push her along" The Colonel accepted both invi- tations. From South Bend to Laporte. dis tance of twenty miles the new engineer made the distance in a trtne under twenty minutes

HAD TO PAY DUTIES.
Canon Fletcher Surprised by New
 York Customs Officers.

New York. Oct. 16-Among the pas sengers who arrived here tonight on the steamer Teutonic was Canon w. G. Fletcher, vicar of Wrexham. The Canon brought with him from Wales box filled with souvenir pamphlets which he intends to distribute to the graduates of Yale college when he attends the bi-cen- tennial anniversary. To his astonishment the customs inspectors refused to allow him to bring the pamphlets ashore until he had paid duty on them.
 The Vicar of Wrexham is the rector of St. Giles Church which is popularly known as "One of the Seven Wonders of Wales" It was built near the close of the Fifteenth Century and within the shadow of its square tower is the final resting place of Elihu Yale, the founder of Yale college. He was buried in 17O2 in the same tomb with his father. The souvenir pamphlets which Canon Fletcher will give away contain beautiful engrav- ings of St. Giles Church and Elihu Yale's tomb and a copy of the epipitah on the grayestone in the ancient church yard.

Willemstad Curacoa, Oct 16.-(Via Haytien cable. )-Advices received here from Maracaibo. Venezuela, under date of yesterday, say that the Venezuelan troops on the Guajira peninsula are in a condition of utter confusion. Robberies and outrages by Indians continue. The entire Indian population is against the Venezuelans and the latter dare not leave their camps. The Indians are am- pushing and killing small parties. Demor- alization Is spreading among the Venezu- elan troops and there is increasing sick ness among them. Four deserters from the Venezuelan ranks were recently caught and shot.
 The Venezuelans at Guajira are in no condition to assume the aggressive against Colombia. hence there Is little likelihood of fighting.
