BRYAN AT DALLAS.
Nebrasl<an Makes Speech on sDemoc-

Nebraskan Makes Speech on sDemoc-
 racy's Opportunity"
 Dallas. Tex. May 27.--In response to an invitation of the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club. William !. Bryan to- night delivered an address upon Dem ocracy's Opportunity" speaking to an audience of about 5000 people which at times manifested marked enthu- siasm. The address differed but little from MT. Bryan's Chicago address un- der the same title, the departures be- ing chiefly in the way of local appli- cation.
 Democrats in my part of the coun- try have for years fought for the right. and that without having even the local offices" he declared, Cannot you Tex ans. who have all the local offices, af- ford to continue the fight?"
 Another departure from the Chicago speech was the suggestion that De- mocracy 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 perished instead of triumphing by reason of their example. The reorgan- izers. he declared. had they been re- scented would have advised the Chris tians 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 convictions. We need to love our De- mocracy and. if need. to die for 1t"
 Mir. Bryan will speak at Muskogee, I, T., tomorrow night.

COTTON AND LINEN.

Fleecy Staple Has Proved Disastrous
 to Lille Industry.
 Washington, May Especial. )-- Cotton seems to be doing hurt to the linen industry of France.
 '"The strike of the linen workers in Lille. the great seat of the linen in- dustry in France" writes United states Consul John c. Covert, at Lyons. France, has had the effect of calling the attention of statesmen and econo- mists of the nation to that branch oe industry One writer says that linen has been killed by cotton A commit tee of gentlemen consisting of aericul- turists, politicians, statesmen and econ- omists has recommended a bill, which is now before the French Parliament, offering q bounty of about s6 per acra to farmers who engage fin the produce ton of flax and hemp.
 They think that the industry is suf- fering from the want of a cheap raw material The bounty is to run from 1904 for period of six years. A writ CT in The Economist Franeais arrives at the conclusion that the manufacture of flax and hemp goods has seen It's best days in France and will gradually disappear He thinks that the aanu- lecturers will. with few exceptions. embark in the production of cotton goods and that the current which has been moving in one direction for SO many years will not change its course.~

IN STATE OF BLOCKADE.
Japanese Completely Dominate Con,
 of LinO Tunr PeninanIn


 of Lfao Tung Peninsula.
 Chicago, May 27-A special to The Daily News from Che Foo says: Japan announces that the entire coast Of the Liao Tung peninsula lying south of line between Pitsewo on the east and Pulantien on the west, is in a 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 state of blockade until now because 1t Is held by International law that a blockade to be effective must be main tained by land as we'll as by sea- The United States has always maintained that a proclamation or ideal blockade of an extensive coast, not supported by the actual presence of a naval power com petent 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 ''governmentar' blockade proclama- tion by Japan throws burden of proof on vessels attempting to run the block ade.
