WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
 WARMLY GREETED
SAYS THE COUNTRY NEEDS A DE-
 MocRACY FOR WHICH ITS AD- HERENTs WOULD DIE, IF NEG
 ESSARY.

Dallas, Tex, May 27.-In response to an invitation of the Thomas G. Jefferson Democrat club, William J. Bryan tonight delivered an address upon Democracy s Opportunity" speaking to an audience of about 5000 people, which at times man. ifested marked enthusiasm. The address differed but little from Mir Bryans Chi cago address under the same title, the departures being chiefly in the way of local application.
 Democrats in my part of the country have for years fought for the right. and that without having even the local of- fices," he declared.
 Cannot you Texans who have all the local offices. afford to continue the fight?"
 Another departure from the Chicago speech was the suggestion that democ- racy should emulate the example of the old christian martyrs, thought which arose within him when he looked upon the coliseum and considering that if the early christians had recanted instead of suffering christianity would have per ished instead of triumphing by reason of their example. The reorganizers, he de- clared had they been present, would have advised these christians to take 1t all back.
 What we need today in this country is democracy that makes us willing, not to hold office, but to sacrifice for our con- victions We need to love our democracy, and if need to be, to die for it."
 MT. Bryan will speak at Muskogee |. IT, tomorrow night.

St. Petersburg, May 27.-The news of the Japanese victory at Kin Chou which was foreshadowed several days ago by the rumors of persistent fighting there was published in a Russian holiday anniver- sary of the coronation of Emperor Nich- oIas. Curiously enough, the news of the Japanese disaster afioat came on sim liar holiday, the emperor's birthday. While there was little information in government circles regarding the Russian defeat, the news caused the celegrations at Tsarskoye-Selo to be shortened Only a brief service was celebrated in the chapel, instead of the customary litany, and the emperor spent the remainder of the day in the transaction of business.
 Judging from its aspect the city might be celebrating a success, instead of re- verse. All the houses were decorated and the carts and street cars were all be- faggeu. The crowds in front of the bull

Entire Coast Under Blockade.

Chicago, May FLA special to the Daily News from Che Foo says
 Japan annonces that the entire coast of the Liao Tung peninsula lying south If line between Pitsewo on the east and Pulantien on the west is in state of effective blockade by the Japanese army The declaration states that the blockade will be maintained.
 The Japanese government has evident ly refrained from declaring the peninsula In a state of blackade until now, because 1t is held by international law that a blockade to be effective must be main tained by land as well as by sea. The United States has always maintained that a proclamation or ideal blockde of an extensive coast, not supported by the actual presence of naval power compe- tent to enforce it's simultaneous, con- stant and effective operation on every point of such coast, is illegal throughout Its whole extent. even for ports which may be in actual blockade. The govern mental'' blockade proclamation by Japan throws the burden of proof on vessels att tempting to run the blockade"

Tokio, May 27.-Q ?. m.)-subsequent reports received here indicate that the storning of Nanshen hill yesterday, was bloody affair. The Japanese first een- tered their fire on the Russian batteries In which work they were aided by four gunboats from Kin Chou bay They suc- reeded in silencing many of the enemy guns.
 The Russians had constructed series of trenches around the hill on terrace protected by wire entanglements and oth- er such devices.
 The Japanese made a series of rushes, but they were in vain. The deadly rifle and cannon fire of the enemy checked them repeatedly.
 Finally, at o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese reformed and stormed the crest of the hill. The Russians held to their position doggedly and it was o'clock In the evening before the Japanese finally gained possession of the ridge.
