BRYAN SPEAKS OF T0WNE.
Pays High and Eloquent Tribute to
His Friend and Follower.


Duluth, Mimi. Oct. ls.-Eight hun
dred men of all shades of political opin-
ion attended a farewell banquet ten
dered by Duluth citizens to Charles A.
Towne at the Armory tonight, while
500 ladies were present in the galleries
to hear the addresses by w. ]. Bryan,
Mr.. Towne and others.
The affair was non-partisan and
carried out the intention OF. the pro-
motors to make it a testimonial to
Mr.. TONNES personal popularity among
his friends and neighbors.
Mr.. Bryan's subject was Nor
al Courage" and he took oc-
easion to shower enconiums on the
guest of the evening for his action in
1896, at the time he gave his farewell
to the Republican party to follow sill
yer. 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 bear heavily on the side of civic
virtue. He has faced without fiinching
a fire as hot and hellish as ever came
from cannon's mouth, and he has won
victory greater and more glorious
than ever crowned the life of one who
fawned at the feet of power or bartered
away his manhood to secure an office"
Mr.. Bryan did not inject politics into
his speech. which was brief and .di-
rected largely to Mr.. Towne. He said,
however. that great issues are at
stake; great interests are involved, aye,
our civilization itself, and through us,
the civilization of the world. This ma
ton is world power; it has not ac-
quired its influence by war, but for a
century its ideas have been permeating
the world, and every citizen owes it
to his country. as we'll as to his gener
alton and posterity, to throw the
weight of his influence on the right side
of every public question"

action to the Commodore the latter
had told him to hoist Close up"
Referring to the bombardment of the
Colon, May 81, the witness said that
Commodore Schley's bearing on that
occasion had not been different from

Admiral Sampson. It appeared that
as received by the st. Paul the signal
was as follows:
IF Sampson comes here tell him
that half the squadron is out of coal
and that the engine Of the collier Is
broken down."

said, however, that the word short"
was very indistinct. The signal to

replied:
"I remember being on deck on July
2 and seeing columns OF smoke rising
and apparently moving, as though
vessels were steaming in the harbor.
Also in my watch remember the
burning of blockhouses TO the west
ward of Santiago, which / reported to
the commanding officer"
What was the conduct and bear
ing of Commodore Schley in the differ
ent engagements and on July 3?'
Il never saw Commodore Schley dur
ing the engagement. I saw him imme-
diately after the battle of July and
he was perfectly cool and collected"
on cross-examination, Capt. Lemly
had the witness read from the log OF
the Brooklyn an entry to the effect
that the Brooklyn had steamed out at
night.
The court asked a few questions as
to the blockade of Cienfuegos and the
relative positions of vessels in the
Santiago battle. bringing out little that
was new.
The court then adjourned.

NEARLY $1OO,0O0,000
Amount Estimated for Naval Ex-
penditures for Ensuing Year.


Washington, Oct. 16.-The estimates
Of the navy for the fiscal year ending
Julie 30, 1903, were made public at the
Navy Department to-day. The total
amount is $9S,91O,9S4, against ST 245S5
appropriated for the current year.
Secretary Long in speaking of the
estimates said that they were made
with due regard for the needs of the
navy, and intimated that they had the
approval of the administration. He
spoke of the increased cost of the navy
and said that the building of battle
ship costing $4,000, 900 was not the end
of its expense, as it's maintenance was
very costly. These estimates, he said,
did not cover any recommendations
for increase of the navy over that al
ready authorized but it is more than
likely the Secretary will recommend
three new battleships and two armor-
ed cruisers and number of small
gunboats.
The new estimated items for the
Norfolk yard aggregate $1,20S, 500,
which includes $350,000 for the purchase
of land.

~ eases of modern times. This dis
ease is generally known as dys-
pepsia. At first people try TO cure
themselves by dieting or using some
one of the many pills and powders re-

that generally a doctor is consulted.
The stomach is osculated, the liver
thumped and the blame fastened upon
some one of the digestive organs.
