THE BRYAN RECEPTION
DELEGATION OF $50 IN NEW
YORK FROM NEBRASKA.


what is home without Bryan?"
With this placard in its. froat ranks the
delegation of 100 of the neighbors and
friends of William J. Bryan arrived in New
York city from Nebraska at half-past ten
o'clock last night. The delegation was more
than two hours late, and no time was. lost
in getting baggage and personal belongings
slowed TN the eighty rooms which had been
reserved for them in the Hotel Victoria
Before retiring for the night. however, a
large number of the visitors strolled out
into Broadway for a short time to catch
glimpse Of the city. After watching the
crowds move northward and southwark for
a few moments, w. H. Green, democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor of Ne
braska this fall, won the applause Of his
companions which he declared. "Well boys
I'm prouder of Nebraska tonight than I've
ever been before. What I've seen Of the
New York people, they're not much better.
nor much worse, than our own people out
home"
All Wore White Badges.
Every man wore a small badge Of white
silk ribbon, on which was printed. Home
folks of William J. Bryan" Members OF
the delegation lost much of their respect
for the railroad companies on their way
east The railroad company had refused
to check their baggage through to. New
York from Omaha Consequently the
larger pieces of baggage were not at the
Pennsylvania railroad station in Jersey
City when the special train Of six Pull
man cars arrived.
There was much grumbling, and several
declared that when Mr.. Bryan became
President all of the railroads would be glad
to check baggage as far as they would sell
a ticket.
About the only incident Of the trip was
the painting of a large number of placards,
some Of which were carried last night, and
all of which are to be posted about the Vic
toria Hoteltoday. Here are some of them:
''Who said 'Repudiator?"
I'VE have kept the faith"
"And they called him the Boy Orator Of
the Platte"
1--WE believe in National Honor"
"And Watterson came also"
I'VE knew you would come to know him"
Many Mayors in Party.
In the delegation were the mayors Of
eight cities of Mr.. Bryan's state among
them being Mayor Brown Of Lincoln. who
headed the delegation; Mayor Dahlmann
of Omaha, Mayor Hunker Of West Point,
Mayor Burke Of Friend. Mayor Watzke Of
Humboldt, Mayor Gehring Of Plattstown
and Mayor Uhlig of Holdridge Among
others were ]. w. Outright, Mr.. Bryan's
former secretary. and the only representa-
tive from Normal, and H. s. Daniels, demo-
cratic candidate for secretary of state.

and experts in every branch of science.
The army engineer school, which occupies
St. Petersburg, has over ]. 400 students. The
Russian government educates its own en-
ployes for every branch Of its service. 1t
has school Of commerce, In which appli-
cants for the consular and diplomatic serv-
Ice are required to take course OF study.
It trains its own astronomers. meteorolo-
gists. biologists, ETC., who receive the high
est possible education at the expense or
the public treasury and are expected to
devote their lives and their talents to gov
eminent work. The Imperial Lycee, privi-
legged school, is intended to prepare men
for the diplomatic corps. and while appoint
ments are not strictly limited to Its stu
DENTS 1t is almost impossible for any but
q graduate to obtain a foothold in that
branch of the service. And this, and sew
eral other schools, can only be entered by
the sons Of noblemen, or high officials, gen.
erals, admirals and other men Of impor-
lance.
Spies in Universities.
There are nine universities In Russia, with
a total of about 10000 students, but most
Of them have been closed for the last two
years on account of the revolutionary ten
denotes Of the students and the faculties.
AS I told you in a letter the other day,
nearly every young man and young woman
who enters a Russian university becomes
a socialist and a revolutionary. Notwith-
standing the peril it involves, each one OF
them is inspired with an ambition to pro-
mote the political and social reform of Rus
sia Liberal professors have been banished,
whole faculties have been reorganized, the
regulations Of the institutions have been
revised, police inspectors have been intro
duced, spies have been placed in every cor
ridor, student gatherings have been forbid
den, and other restrictive measures have
been used by the government to prevent
what it considers the political corruption of
the empire. but no cure has been discovered
for an epidemic that prevails in every in
stitution for higher education, and among
the members of every social caste and the
students of every profession. And it will
continue as long as the autocracy endures
and intelligence abhors a despotism.

THE STATEN ISLAND RAILROAD
OBJECTS TO NEW FERRY co.
Hearing Before Board Of Aldermen at Committee Meeting Last
Night Judge Lyon Representing Staten Island Rapid Transit
Declared that Company Had Decided Upon !mpOvemenls

At the committee meeting of the
Board of Aldermep last night, George
S. Silzer, of New Brunswick, coun-
sci for the Perth Amboy and Staten
Island Ferry. Company, and Judge
Adrian Lyon, of this city, counsel for
the Staten Island Rapid Transit Fer
ry Company, presented petition and
a protest, respectively, for the coun-
ellis consideration. Mr.. Silzer, who
represented the new company, said
his clients would like to secure a
lease of the property at the foot of
Fayette street for thirty-five years.
No stipulation for the land was men
toned by Mr.. Silzer 1t was under
stood that 500 year was intended.
Mayor Pfeiffer asked Mr.. Silzer il
he would accept lease, with condi-
tions regulating the rate of fares, toll
for vehicles Mr. Silzer said his COM
pany was not yet certain on that
point, but were willing to guarantee
good service, and naturally would
have to reduce the rates to secure
patronage. The counsel also said
that it would probably take from one
to three years before the ferry could
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-12-01

be put in operation, as numerous de-
lays might be experienced in having
the boat built, as the contracts of the
shipbuilders generally specify.
After Mr.. Silzer had finished speak
ing Judge Lyon entered protest for
the 5. l. r. T. Company against the
granting of the lease. Judge Lyon
said the Staten Island Company had
already had plans drawn for a new
up-to-date ferry boat and decided to
reduce the toll for passengers, to six
tickets for a quarter, the present rate
being cents fiat. The present fer
ry does not pay even now" said Mr..
Lyon, 'and two ferries will not pay
at all, and if the new company is put
into operation then the Staten Island
Company will be unable to reduce
the rates and will not have the new
boat built,
After hearing both sides of the ar
gument Mayor Pfeiffer told Mr.. Sill
zer that the council would consider
the matter and might take some ac-
tion at the meeting on Monday night.
Mr.. Silzer seemed satisfied and said
he would like to have the matter de-
clded as soon as possible.

Special to the EVENING NEWS:


TRENTON, Dec. 1:-Evidence
that the independent republican
movement in Middlesex county is not
dead was given here yesterday when
delegation of seven Fordyce men
arrived to meet Governor Stokes in
conference. They were closeted with
the governor for more than two
ing was given out by the visitors
enough was learned by the NEWS
correspondent to indicate that the
session was a warm one. Enough was
cleaned to give basis for the state
ment that the visitors made plea
for the reorganization of the repub-
lican party in Middlesex county.
The delegation was headed by Chas.
Prickett and Charles A. Bloomfield.
The visitors were very unwilling to
talk, about the conference and even
refused to give the names of the 9th
ers in the party. Governor Stokes
was likewise mum as to what took
place
Governor Stokes received the dele
cation in his private offive. The Wis
itors presented theii case and then
there was a livelyS Iscussion. Al
times the conversation reached a lgh
pitch Indicating the greatest ea est
ness on the part of the spokesman
for the Middlesex men.
/ 1t Is understood that the text OF
this argument was Theodore Strong.
The visitors endeavored to impress
upon the governor that the people OF
Middlesex county were tired of the
one-man rule, and did not propose to
stand for it any longer. They asked
for a reorganization of the party in
the county on lines under which
Boss" Strong would be practically
eliminated from the control of the
situation.
At the close of the conference Mr.
:. Priekett was seen by the NEWS cor
respondent, but he refused to talk
When urged to make a statement he
finally said that thay had taken VI
with Governor Stokes the matter oil
reorganization of the republican par
ty in Middlesex. He declined tc
state on what basis the reorganiza-
ton was proposed. When asked if a
complaint had been lodged against
Mr. Strong he declined to answer.
