MIR RRYAN's GREAT EFFORT.

The word that MT. Bryan would take this opportunity to make his great eff fort before the convention, had got abroad. and the audience rustled with expectation when the Nebraskan arose and faced it. In opening his speech, MT. Bryan announced that he had not come to the convention with the idea of bringing up any question that could or would create division. He was greet cd by cheers, and when he declared that he hoped and believed that the convention would select a ticket, which could be supported by the united dem ocracy, the cheers were redoubled. An outburst of approving yells greeted his announcement that the convention in Illinois was conducted by men who were on a level with train robbers.
 Becoming intensely interested in his address, MT. Bryan, finding that his cuffs interfered with the free movement of his hands, pulled them off, and pro- ceeded. He declared that two years ago, John P Hopkins had pursued a course contrary to that followed in the Illinois convention, and did not dare to follow the precedent this time, because he would have been repudiated if he had done so. The initial sentences of MT. Bryan's speech, which carried his hearers into cheers, were: T still hope that we shall be able to agree upon platform that will represent the sen timents of all of us so we can present to the country the platform of a united party"
 When the cheers which greeted this sentiment had subsided, the speaker uttered these words: 'I will go further than that. I still hope that we shall be able to present to the country a ticket behind which we can stand as united party"
 Again the convention enthusiastical- ly endorsed the sentiment expressed.
 As MT. Bryan concluded he was greeted by an outburst of cheers.

THE MINORITY REPORT

Mir. Bryans report was hong, type written document, which he read delib- erately. Its dryness began to impress the galleries, after the reading had progressed ten minutes, and the hum of inattention began to be heard.
 He was accorded the most respectful attention, however. and succeeded bet ter than any other speaker who has been before the convention, in making himself heard. During the latter part of the report, he was frequently inter- rupted by cheers from the gallery.
 He concluded by asking that fifteen minutes on each side be allowed for hearing of the contest.
 The chairman recognized Mir. Bryan in behalf of his motion to substitute the minority for the majority report.
 Chairman Head, of the credentials committee, claimed his right to have the closing statement in the debate. The chair ruled that MT. Bryan should take such time as he should choose, and an- nounced that the other side should have as much time as MT. Bryan took. The chairman then recognized MT. Bryan.

BAY STATE Gas CASE
HAS NOT BEEN SETTLED
Believed That Counsel Will
Reach an Agreement by
Next Saturday

The famous suit Of Receiver George

compel j. Edward Addicks TO pay over
money received from an issue OF s7bO,O00
900 worth Of stock 10 the company was
not settled yesterday afternoon as ex-
pcctod.
There Is "A likelihood that some agree
ment viii be reached by Saturday 10
which day tho case was continued The
suit will probably be settled in the United
States Court in Philadelphia.
IL is believed by many that Receiver
Pepper has so closely cornered the ON
GERS and directors OF the Bay State Gas
Company and Mr.. AddiclSs that they came
forward with an offer TO settle outside of
court on the payment of "a cash considera-
tion in lieu of the i5O00O0 shares Of Bay
State Gas stock alleged 10 have been is
sued unlawfully and of which MIR. Addlcks
is alleged TO have been the beneficiary.
While the stock has a valuation of S75,-
100000 at par, the actual value is very
low. because of the depreciation Of Bay
State Gas shares. and the probability of
realizing on Bay State shares to any
great extent on the market is not very
bright at this time.

IN STATE MILITIA
Secretary Taft Makes an In
teresting Report on Mill
tary Affairs

Secretary Of War William II. Taft
has made public his second annual re-
port OF the condition and standing Of
the regular army and militia Of the
various States in the United States.
In his report Secretary Taft says:
"The strength Of the organized militia
CT the United States on October /, 1904
including officers OF every rank and
grade, was 1853 consisting Of SS05 Of.
fcers and 1911 enlisted men.
Very satisfactory progress has been
made toward bringing the organized
militia of the several States and Terri
tories to a condition equal to that OF
the Regular Army, respecting arma-
ment and equipment. Omcers of both
services have cheerfully and effectively
co-operated In meeting the require
ments Of the new law, both In letter
and in spirit, and their combined efforts
TO bring the militia up TO the high
standard of the army in discipline and
instruction are meeting with excellent
results.
Under the new militia law. maga-
zine arms and equipments have been
issued in sufficient numbers fully to
arm the organized militia Of each State
and Territory according to the strength
existing at the date Of the passage of
the act-110,921 rifles and 1923 carbines.
total of 1864 having been issued to
date. In addition thereto a gratultous
issue of ammunition, calibre 80, has
been made in exchange. round for
round, for corresponding ammunition
suitable TO the obsolete arms replaced
under the provision of the act.
THE general results OF the inspec-
tions which have been made show a
great advance in zeal. efficiency care
Of arms, uniforms. etc; also that both
officers and men have acquired clear
er comprehension Of their duty to the
State and national governments. They
also show that the militia is gradually
being brought to conform to the system
of the United States Army with regard
to military instruction and discipline.
"The clothing allowance for the
American soldier Is Of the amplest, both
in quantity and quality, the ration fur
nished has long been the surprise and
wonder Of military men Of foreign ma
tions, and that the private in the
United States Army. who receives 81:
per month, is well paid is evident"
In Austria-H Hungary privates receive
73 cents per month; in France, s174,
Germany $3.50; Great Britain, $Z14;
Japan, go cents; Russia, u cents.

NO ACTION TAKEN ON
otto GAS COMPANY'S
REQUEST FOR FRANCHISE

reason why the company should not
agree to the clause.
Mr. Harman said he was opposed to
monopoly, but at the same time, If a
franchise was granted to the Otto
Company he was Obliged to protect the
city's interests. He could do this and
also be fair to the concern.
President Satisfied.
At this point President John Salter
of the Otto Gas Engine Company
Works, said he was satisfied to add the
clause under discussion to the resolu-
ton, but suggested that the three
referees or arbitrators be selected from
west of the Alleghanies. Mr.. Harman
again objected saying that the company
should be allowed to select one from
anywhere and the city the other, the
two thus selected to name a third.
After some discussion Mr.. Salter
agreed to the proposition with the
proviso that the third man selected be
an expert and also a resident west Of
the Alleghanies. To this Mr. Har-
man made no objection and the latter
finally drew up the clause and after
reading it the entire matter was laid
ference between the officials of the
Otto Company and the Street and
Sewer Commissioners will take place.
Chance For Old Company.
Mayor Bird thought that the Will
mington Gas and Electric Company
should have some representation at
the meeting on Monday so that both
sides Of the question could be heard
before final action or granting the
franchise was taken.
Mr.. Hollis thanked the mayor and
thought that he and a representative OF
the company should be allowed TO be
present at the conference. He said his
clients had many hundreds of thousands
Of dollars invested in this city and he
thought he should be allowed to have Q
copy of the proposed Otto franchise to as.
certain whether his company had any
thing to say at all in the matter.
Mr.. Harman objected to the Whining
ton City Gas and Electric Company being
represented at the conference on Monday
saying that it was none of that concerns
business what the Otto people and the
Street and Sewer Board did. He thought
however, that the local concern should b,
given a hearing on Tuesday and this wal
finally agreed to.
