FILIPINOS MADE OFFER.
Bryan Says Aguinaldo rendered
100000 for Campaign.

Salem, Ill, July 1o.-William j. Bry-
an confirmed the statement that
Aguinaldo's agents attempted to cor
rupt MIN during the last presidential
campaign.
Mr.. Bryan explained how the offer
was made and refused. Some time be-
fore the emissarics of Aguinaldo
called at the Hoffman house in New
York last fall Mr.. Bryan received 4
letter telling him that Aguinaldo's
representatives would call and that
they would make the proposition to
Mr.. Bryan that Aguinaldo would give
100000 to the democratic campaign
fund. .:s..
In addition they would promise for
the Filipino leader that he would
surrender in the event that the Ne
braskan was elected and that the
surrender would be immediate and
unconditional. In return they would
exact a promise that a reasonable
form of government founded on the
principles in force in the United
States be given the Filipinos.
Therefore, when the Filipino agents
appeared at the Hoffman house Mr..
Bryan was ready for them. He re-
fused to see them. They clamored
for an audience with some one who
represented Dir. Bryan. 70 all these
appeals the Nebraskan was needless.
He not only refused to see them, but
ne refused to delegate to anyone
authority to consider any proposition
that they might make.
Finally after trying to the utmost
to get to Mr.. Bryan and put the prop
osition before him they abandoned
the plan and took the advice of some
of the attaches of the national head
quarters staff, which was to leave
New York and report to their princi-
pals that the democrats would have
nothing to do with the overtures
made. :..-.......
Mr.. Bryan said: II was prompted
to refuse to meet them, so that my
opponents could not have the oppor-
tunity to misconstrue or misrepre-
sent the objects of such a confer
cnce. I would not consider the prop
osition which they were anxious to
make in person for the reason that
considered it my duty to act as {
did,"

during the all-night session of the

claimed that the Mclean and Kill

in the committee on resolutions and

The Johnson men won on their fav-

no reaffirmation of the Kansas City
platform. There is no mention of
previous platforms or of Bryan.

nearly all were ruined in business
and many of them were driven out.
The claimants number several hum
bred.
The outrages date back to 1886, and
it is declared that the city council
of Butte upheld the rioters and the
boyeotters; that the state courts up
on appeal decided in language SO un-
judicial as to be itself subject Of
complaint, that the city council was
right, and that finally that relief

MISSION PUPILS KILLED.
Riots In Quelpart, on an Island of the
Kingdom Of Korea.

Kingdom of Korea.
Berlin, July 12.-The Cologne Ga
zette publishes dispatch from Zeoul,
Korea, dated July 6, saying that
bloody conflicts, extending over a per-
iod of ten days, have occurred on the
island of Quelpart between Roman
Catholic missionaries and their pu-
pills and the populace of the island.
Fifteen of the natives and about 300
of the missionaries are reported to
have been killed during the encoun-
tiers.
The governor of Quelpart, accord
ing to the dispatch, says the trouble
was the fault of the pupils and arose
from their support of the tax col
lectors in levying Illegal taxes upon
the natives.
Upon hearing that two French mis-
sionaries had been killed in the isl
and, a French warship proceeded to
Quelpart and upon finding the mis-
sionaries in question alive. the war
ship returned.
The Korean government has COM
missioned Haun Khan and an Ameri-
can court official to investigate the
matter and is sending a company of
Korean infantry with them to Quel-
part.
Quelpart is in the Yellow sea, sixty
miles south of Korea, to which coun-
try it is subordinate. It is a penal
settlement.

Small Insects.
Minneapolis, Mimi, July 9.-The
grasshopper situation in some Sec

ing State Entomologist E. B. Forbes

ment of the existing conditions. He
defines the boundary of the scourge
in these words: ..-
''The Red River Valley, all the way
from Wilkin county to Kitson county,

The Rocky mountain locust is most
prevalent. In the vicinity of Moor
head they are present in sufficient
numbers to do great damage if the
weather conditions favor their work.
In many places, he says, the insects
have cleared up acres of young wheat,
fax and potatoes, and the fields are
as bare as they were previous to
planting.
