Mr.. BRYAN's VISIT.
The ARRIVAL 10 Bombay Tuesday Ct
Mr., William Jennings Bryan, the
leader Of the great democratic party
OF the Uaitsd States, is an event Of
singular interest. Mr.. Bryan needs
nc introduction to the citizens OF Bonn
bay. His fame is already worldwide.
He has twice been nominated as GIN
didate for the presidency OF the Uni
ted States; and though he was not
successful, ne e1j j?ys the cn 9lete
confidence Of milnons Of his fellow
countrynen, and he is yourg enough
to try again. The issues Of American
politics are no direct concern Of Bonn
bag; it is enough for this city to kEo ,
that MI. Bryan is one Of the greatest
Of living Americans, to make 1t glad
to have him ia its midst. Il ws CONES
MIN because his visit typifes and rep
resants that intense interest in India
and its people which Is so cnaracseris
tic Of modern America. That inter
est is all the more appri ciated because
it proceeds from no other motive than
q deep and sympathetic regard for
the natives OF India, and from a
desire to know them better, and to
study the system OF administration
under which they live. It is fac.
that during the last year OF two
the number Of American travellers
visiting India has probably exceeded
those Of any nationality other than
British; and this fact is only one indi.
cation of that eager irclinauion to
learn more OF India which Is at once
discovered by any visitor to the Uni
ted States from this country. Mr.,
Bryan is understood to look with
some nisgivings upon the policy OF
expansion in the Pacific On which bis
mighty nation has now entered; but
whate, CT may be the principles to
1hich he adheres, we truit that in
the vase machinery which represents
British rule In the Iadia of today, he
will find some features which may IN.
vite bis approval.
''Mr. Bryan is not only a great
American, be is also by COMMON con
sent, the greatest living orator In a ma
tion of orators. He hasconferred upon
Bombay welcome privilege IN con,
senting to deliver his famous address,
Tue Phi. c, OF Peace in the town
hall this afternoon at 6 O'clock The
address has for its thema renec lions
suggested by q visit to the tomb o.
Napoleon. Admission is free, and the
only srouble we fesr is that even the
Town hall will not suffice to hold those
who are esger to avail themselves OF
Mr.. Bryan's graceful acquiescsrce in
the widely-e1pressed Wish that he
should deliver public address In Bon-
oay. As q speaker, his powers are un
que. Whatever views his hearers
may begin by holding. he 80 grips
them by bis magnetic personality and
the intensity OF bis G ,nviotioD, that
shey invariably end By acknowledging
5he power OF his magic gift OF silVern
speech. II ne c;uid gather the whole
population of the United States into

ident by acclanation. None could

coming Mr.. Bryan among them, the

the kindly feeling Which has led him
to consent to address them"
In it's issue of March %. the Times,
Of India, prints an account OF Mr..
Bryan's reception in Bombay. This
account follows.
Bombay, Town Hall, in the course
OF Its history extending now for pez-
iod Of three quarters OF century, has
been Gne scene OF many historic and
eveatful gatherings, but is is doubt
full whether any have been OF a more
interesting OF unique character than
tho one which took plac, last even
Ing, when the spacious hall was
densely packes With citizens Of Bonn
bay, essar to see and hesI the great
American democratic leader, MIR.
William Jennings Bryan. The audi
