sr,aa,no UP Conspiracy

The natural fruit Of democratic part
isan tactics Is already beginning to ap-
pear in an agitation for independence
among the natives Of the Philippine
Islands. TIE course OF Judge Parker
himself tends directly to incite such q
movement. His declarations and those
OF other conspicuous party leaders will
certainly be circulated among the ma
1ives. They win be seized upon by the
leaders and the more turbulent spirits
and used to infame the minds of the
ignorant. Meetings have already been
called and doubtless organization has
already been effected.
This movement may easily spread
and grow into conspiracy and insur-
rection. There are in Manila and scat
stered over the islands hundreds OF
leaders who not long ago were in arms
against the United States. For the
mon part they are men who hoped

one Of the packers said: "In view Of
the impending labor difficulties. we
decided to notify the commission men
that there would be no market today

OF to send stock to South Omaha. In
case of cattle receipts the cattle would
have to be shipped back to the coun-

in this city. His physical condition
was much improved and he expects
to leave for his home in Lincoln to-
night. When Mr. Bryan left his bed
Saturday night to go to the conveI-
ton hall, his temperature was above
100 and he complained of much sore
ness of the lungs. He was examined
after the close of the convention by
DR.. Osborne. who decided there was
nothing alarming in Mr.. Bryan's con.
dition and that quiet and rest would
quickly restore him to his usual good
health. His appearance at the con-
vention hall was in opposition to the
command of his physician and con-
trary to the wishes of his friends. He
left his bed at a time when his at.
tendants were absent from the room,
and in doing SO created no little
alarm for his safety.
