BRYAN KISSED AT KANSAS CITY.
Uncomplimentary Reference to Roose-
welt Met Disapproval Of Audience.


A dispatch from Kansas City. Mo-, last
night says: William ]. Bryan tonight ad-
dressed an audience that taxed the capacity
of Convention Hall. Mr.. Bryan explained
why he wished his friends to give their
active support to Parker and Davis, saying
that while the election Of the democratic
ticket would not insure the immediate
adoption OF the policies for which Bryan
stood, it would pave the way for their
adoption, and that the election Of Roose-
welt and Fairbanks would delay for four
years the beginning of needed reforms. The

This sentiment was loudly applauded.
Part OF Mr.. Bryans remarks on the
Philippines were apparently misunderstood
by large portion OF the audience. and
the words were greeted with Kisses which
drowned the sound Of his voice. He said:

Canada After Colombian Trade.

A dispatch from Montreal says: Mer-
chants in the Republic of Colombia are de-
sirous of boycotting American firms from
whom they have purchased goods in the
past. according to P. T. M. Oswin, who
writes to the Canadian government to say
that the southern republic offers splen-
did field for Canadian trade. Mr.. Oswin.
who Is the representative in that country
of British textile houses, says: 1.-THE people
Of Colombia have not forgotten the Pan
ANA affair, nor are they likely to. The
feeling of hatred toward the United States
Is not transito-y. The most important i'm
portations from the states are flour, kero-
sene, sewing machines. canned goods, soda,
biscuit furniture. tools and rope. Canada
can get this trade If your government ap-
points commercial agent here" The Ca
madam government will probably act on
Mr.. Oswin's suggestion soon after the
elections.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Senator

gestion. 1t is rs follows:
In reference to your letter of Feb

punchbowl would be much more suit
able as a present for the Tacoma than
a silver service. Secretary Hays ex-
perience shows that bell or a tablet
placed on the turret is more s9tisfac-

was to be sent to the Orient soon, l

POPE PLEASED
WITH AMERICA
Expresses Admiration on
Hearing That Baltimore
VIII Rebuild WithOutHelp
ARCHBISHOP GIVESNEWS
Everything You DO Is on a
Grand Scale, Even in Case
of Fires" Exclaims Pontiff

ROME. Feb 25.-The Pope received
Archbishop Farley in private audience
to-day. The Archbishop presented a
letter from Cardinal Gibbons. thanking
the Pope in the name Of the trustees
Of the Catholic University at Wash
inEton for the letter, issued immedi-
atoly after he was created Pope, in
dorsing the Resolution of the trustees to
have general collections in the United
States for the benefit of the university,
the first collection amounting TO $llO,
600. The Pope was much pleased TO
hear OF the progress made by the uni
versity.
Regarding the Baltimore fire the
Pope referred with admiration TO the
report he had received that Baltimore
would rebuild without help, and ex-
claimed: 1t IS the true American
spirit You DO everything on a grand
scale. even in the case Of fires.
Archbishop Farley introduced former
Mayor Seth Low and Mrs. LOW, John
j.. Crimmins and others from New
York The party was accompanied Dy
Mgr. Kennedy, rector Of the American
COLLEGE. When the Pope heard MIR.

mediately, and pointed TO a table on
which lay the engrossed resolutions

death Of Pope Leo. The Pontif con-
graduated Mr.. Low, saying that he
knew that. although he was not a
Catholic, he was a good Christian, ana
gave each Of the visitors his hand TO

The Pope afterward addressed Jll
present Archbishop Farley translat-
ing his remarks. The Pontiff said he
could not adequately express the graft
fication which he experienced at re-
ceiving Americans in the Vatican.
America was known in his heart for
her greatness as a nation and her gen.
erosity as a people. The Pope then
gave the Americans his benedictiCn and
extended it to the members Of their
families. adding, This blessing comes
from a full heart" While tears came
into his eyes, affecting those present,
the Pope continued, Il must give you
something" and began rummaging in

OF PIECE WORK
New York Shipbuilder Says
American WOrkmen Are
Behind European Brethren
STATEMENT Is DISPUTED
Wallace DOwney Gives In
teresting Testimony Be
fore the House Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-"Do you
mean the Scotch, the Irish or the Eng
lish laborers in the shipyards at Glas-
Cow can do so per cent more work with
the same tools and in the same time
than can be done by American ship
yard workers. demanded James O'Con-
nell, president OF the International As
sociation of Machinists, Of Wallace
Downey. a New York shipbuilder and a
representative of the New York Metal
Trades Association, during the progress
of a hearing to-day on the eight-hour
bill before the House Committee on
Education and Labor.
Il do mean to say that, most en-
phatically" answered Downey, and |
am not making the statement from
hearsay. 1t has cost me $1,000 in the
last five years, in addition 10 gray
hairs, to find it out. 1 spent $4,000 in
purchasing the best tools, in acquiring
knowledge of methods in Glasgow, and
tried for three years to show American
workmen that by doing piece work they
could accomplish more. They would
not see it, and the shipbuiiding inter-
ests have suffered. In turn the laborers
have suffered, for the weekly payrolls
have decreased
OConnell declared he had no belief
in the statement of Downey, and eX-
pressed the opinion that American
workers in the shipyards were far su-
perior to those of other countries.
Downey responded with challenge
that O'Conneil make an investigation
or consult other builders, whose word
would be accepted by the world He
said that he hoped that when the sys-
TENS employed in English yards are
brought TO bear in this country we
would be able TO pass the foreign yards
in the amount and quality of work pro-
duced. but declared that such legisla-
ton as is proposed in the eight-hour
bill is cutting the throats of the work
ing people.
Our profits in the foreign trade, ;"
said Downey, ARE balancing on the
line of l. 2 or per cent, ready every
minute to be toppled over by the move
ment of the hand. The manufacturing
industry of this country has developed
far in excess of our consumption, and
therefore we need the foreign trade in
order to exist. The laborer needs it as
much as the manufacturer. 1 am not
calamity howler, but l believe the pres
ent period of unprecedented prosperity
is nearly at an end and the country will
settle down to something like a reason
able basis. II is then that the working
men will have TO put their heads with
ours and be willing to do part of the
calculating in keeping our thousands OF
mills and factories in operation"
Other employers protested against
the proposed legislation. Another hear
ing viii be held on Thursday next.

OTTO SPAMER
PLEASES WELL
HIS AUDIENCE

Otto Spamer, who gave the first of a
series of four violin recitals at Century
Hall last night, was fortunate in a
large and representative audience. The
violinist, who made seintillant sort of
debut with the Scheel symphony or
chestra this season, has evidently es-
tablished himself as a favorite. Mr..
Spamer's chief assets are very nimble
left hand, a facile bow and quick ear,
that he has learned to use very cleverly,
if not at all greatly. But Mr.. Spamer has
his moments. The Bach "Sarabande,"
given last night, showed the violinist
with a (to me) quite unexpected
breadth, and there were passages in the
Beethoven concerto Cd major)-in the
larghetto more particularly-that were
toned and shaded with considerable
beauty and full authority But it is
still possible TO suspect Mr.. Spamer of
youth-thOugh like Pitt. he may mend

renderings authority. One feels that he
does not yet quite know what he wants
or what the composer desires. But the

TEN CHILDREN
BADLY BURNED
Explosion Follows Efforts of
Spectacular Minister to
Mystify His Little Pupils
TALE is INTERRUPTED
GhOstly Blaze Provided for
Amusement Brings Injury
and Possibly Death to Tots

CINCINNATI, Feb. 25.-An acci-
dent at the Richmond d-street Christian
Church here tonight resulted in ten
children being seriously and others
painfully burned. Seven are in the
City Hospital, and it is thought that
many whose names were not learned
were badly burned. The Sunday
school room was crowded for an en-
tertainment given by the pastor, Rev.
Vernon Stauffer. The evening had
been set apart for the small boys, and
a small crowd of girls gathered on
the outside.
The pastor was telling fairy stories,
and in one OF the stories was a mys-
terry with ghostly scenes. In order to
make the story realistic the pastor
provided a kettle. which had salt in
the bottom of it, This was saturated
with alcohol and set afire TO produce
the weird light of the ghost story.
When the boys were gathered around
the blaze. suddenly a draft of wind
struck the stream Of alcohol and an
explosion followed. All those seated
around the fire were burned.
Besides the seven taken to the hos
pital three were taken home badly
burned and others not seriously in
jured were bandaged up and sent
home.
Those taken to the City Hospital
were George Mangelo, aged years;
Carl Bertram, aged 6; Earl Carson,
aged y; Arthur Masser, aged 8; Ed
ward Young, aged IL; Waldro Lark
by, aged Is, and Walter Merrill, aged
u. Among those taken TO their homes
who were badly burned were Freddie
Brennan, aged IL years; Harry Ber-
tram, aged IL, and Freddie Bertram,
aged I.3.
