In these words William Jennings
Bryan administered a check to the
enthusiasm which at the Jefferson
club banquet given tonight in Mr..
Bryan's honor greeted the speeches ad-
vocating his nomination for the third
time for president.
There had been warm words of
praise for Mr.. Bryan, particularly
from former Congressman Ollie NJ.
James of Kentucky and Judge James
b. Tarvin of Covington, KY, who had
declared unqualifedly for Mr.. Bryan
as the democratic nominee for presi-
dent in 1908, and from Mr.. Alexander
Troup of New Haven, Conn, who de-
Clared that Bryan was the natural and
legitimate leader of the democratic

To UNLOAD ARMENIANS
ON UNITED STATES

BOSTON-Advices have been re.
ceived at the local immigration office
that 500 Armenians have been gath
cred at Harpoot and 500 at Malalia,
Turkey, and thrown into prison to
be deported to this country. The
prisoners, it is said are all returned
immigrants, some Of them having
gone from the United States as far
back as 1898. When the prisoners
reach the United States it is believed
that the most of them will have to be
deported, as few, probably have any
substantial claims to residence in
this country.

WASHINGTON-Upon the occasion
~ the recent visit of the members of
the board of consulting engineers of
the isthmian canal at oyster Bay the
president addressed to them a few re-
marks which will be printed shortly
and presented to the different mem
bers. After bidding them welcome he
urged them to use all the speed they
could safely make in coming to a
conclusion as to the best plan for
digging the canal so that he might
have ample time for studying the re-
port before sending it to congress.
He did not express himself in favor
Of either a lock canal or sea-level
canal and refrained from any techni-
cal observations, but urged the mem
bers to state their opinion without the
slightest hesitation and to send him
reports, not as he should like to get
them, but as he ought to get them.
The members of the board have near
ly all returned to Washington, but it
had not yet been decided when the
next meeting will be held They will
for some days occupy themselves
studying the different plans and data
with which they have been provided.

SUsTAINs TREATY.
Cabinet Ministers Advised to Remain
at Their Posts.

TOKIO-In accordance with estab-
lished usage, the cabinet ministers
have presented an official statement to
the Mikado explaining the necessity
of instituting martial law at the cap
ital and at the same time asking the
imperial judgment as to whether they
should remain in Office or retire. The
emperor's reply, which was made to-
day, advises them to retain their re-
spective posts.
The special session of the privy
council Monday lasted for four hours.
No bill was presented, only a report
from the cabinet ministers, Premier
Katsura making an extended state.
ment of the peace negotiations.
According to the constitution a
treaty with other powers must be sub
mitted to the council before ratifica-
ton. 1t is unusual to hold a special
sitting for simply making a report on
diplomatic affairs before a treaty as
sumes a form ready for ratification,
and the sitting today without spec
ial bill was rather unexpected.
Opposition political parties have ap-
pointed an extensive committee to
fully report on sufferings alleged to
have been caused by the police during
the recent rioting. The progressives
and their local branches continue to
press resolutions against the govern
ment. The Shibs branch condemns
the governments assumption of the
power to suspend newspapers, declar-
ing 1t to be wholly unconstitutional.
Quiet, however, prevails in Toxic.

motion, which was carried with a roar
of applause. Commander-in-Chioi

A METHODIST PREACHER
WHO HATES The NEGRO

OSCEOLA, Ia.-Dr. ] w. Lee of st.
Louis, speaking before the Methodist
church conference, took up the negro
question and declared that in their
forty years of freedom the black race
had fallen below the station where
240 years of slavery had placed It,
DR.. Lee asserted that the negro Is
1000 years behind the white man in
civilization. Caste, spirit and race

God has planted them in mems hearts.

that the negro should rejoice at the
mere privilege of living and breathing
in this country.
