out slavery, but polygamy still
exists. The Mormons, in this

polygamy openly, and have be-

polygamy was the greatest

the Minority.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The senate
in executive session today made public
the majority and minority reports
from the committee on foreign relat-
tlons on the treaty ceding to Cuba the
title to the Isle of Pines. The ma
iority views, substantially as given
in the majority report, have been pub
lshed
The minority report which is signed
by Senators Morgan ana w. A. Clark
upholds the contention of the Ameri-
cans who have invested on the island,
that they were warranted in doing so
by the language fthe Platt amend
ment and the Cuban constitution, as
well as the early announcements
made by Assistant Secretary of War
Mieklejohn that the title was vested
in the United States by the treaty of
Paris. The minority report adds, that
il the island is turned over TO Cuba.
It will be unsafe to leave Americans
there, for ii they were matreated this
government would be compelled to
protect them II stated thar from the
hour this government again sent sol
diers to Cuba the destiny Of that re-
public would be that of Ireland or
Egypt and the republic would disap-

Morgan. who drafted the report,
contends that adjustment of the title
in fact amounts to sale, which con
gress alone is empowered TO make,
In that respect. the report says:

BRYAN AT LINCOLN.
After a Year of Wandering Is With
Home Folks.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. Civilian j.
Bryan has reached this city, and the
"home folks welcomed him with ev-
cry evidence of approval and sntisfac-
ton. 1t was Il neighborly welcome,
planned as such and carried out as
planned.
Lincoln has more Republicans than
Democrats, but there was no line Of
partisan division, and the welcome eX-
tended to both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
was sincere and joyful. Everybody
showed good nature: nobody wanted
to quarrel about politics, and nearly
the whole population showed that it
was genuinely glad that Mr.. Bryan
lives here.
1t is doubtful whether Lincoln ever
held a larger crowd than that which
came to the city. The weather, bar
ring the heat, was fine. 1t was a half
holiday in the city, and every train
from over the state arrived loaded
down. bringing not only Nebraska peo-
ole. but many from nearby states.

REPUBLICANS :
MAKE APPEAL.
Machine Claims Everything in
Sight for the Past Ten Years.
Railroad Tax Law, Too.

TRENTON, Sept. THE belated
| appeal of the republican state COM
mittee to the voters to stand by the
old machine appeared yesterday, hav-
ing been given out by State Chair
man Frank O. Briggs. The appeal is
made up of about 5000 words, claim
ing for the party pretty much every
thing in sight. 1t starts out by
pointing with pride" to the history
of legislation and the administration
of State affairs since the party got
into power in the legislature in 1894,
and in the next year elected its first
governor in tw~enty-seven years.
1t recites at length the accomplish
ments of the legislature in repeating
the race track laws, and bringing
about a constitutional amendment
prohibiting gambling; tells how ii
began to abolish fees in public offices,
increased the balances in the treasury
and added big punches of money to
the cause of education by increasing
the appropriations to the pubic
schools. 1t claims for the admins
tration of state affairs economy and
wisdom. 1t tells how it has added
! great sums to the appropriations for
! public road building, increased the
number of state charitable instltu-
lions and added to the facilities of
those existing.
The appeal lays claim to the settle
ment by the last two legislatures of
the railroad taXationquestion, but it
is likely that the reform element in
the party will claim some share of
the credit for bringing about such
changes as have been made in the
laws in that respect, while the demo-
Gratis of the state will come forward
with some claim for credit in forcing
it upon the republicans. The appeal
dwells at length upon the present
financial status of the state, showing
what a big surplus is standing in the
treasury, with no debts to pay. 1t
claims that the creation of the state
board of charities and correction by
the legislature of two years ago, has
worked wonders for the states in
situations. 1t claims that the party
has been the real party of reform in
bringing about the new primary laws
and the corrupt practices act to pun
ish bribery at the polls, and concludes
with the modest statement that such
a fine old party deserves the conf
dence and support of the people of
New Jersey.
