New York, Oct. william Jen-
nings Bryan arrived I'm New York to-
day, to begin a tour Of speech making
in the Empire state under the aus
pices Of the New York Progressive
Democratic league, The subject of
all of Mr.. Bryan's speeches in the
state will be "The Average Man in
His Relation to National Politics.
Following his address here today and
a reception by the Brooklyn Demo-
cratic club, the Nebrastun will speak
at Schenectady tomorrow afternoon
and at Troy tomorrow night. Oswego
will be visited Wednesday, Rochester
on Thursday, Buffalo on Friday and
Elmira Saturday. After his tour in
this state, which is in the interests
of Democracy generally, Mr.. Bryan
will speak in Wisconsin ard other
Northern states, prior to returning to
Omaha early i'll December when Il
is expected he will announce his
candidacy for the presidency.
In his tour of New York state
Mr.. Bryan has admonlshed the Pro-
gressive Democratic league and other
partisan organizations In the cities to
be visited that no contributions for
covering the expense OF the meetings
must be received from private cor
porations, or from anyone whose

The Course Followed
Our voyage began at about the
40 degree of north latitude, and
Yokohama lies at 3 3 degrees, 20 min
utes. BY taking globe one can see
that the shortest route is not straight
across, but by going farther north
where the degrees of latitude con-
verge, the distance is materially
shortened. The course usually fol
lowed is a great circle reaching up
to nearly SO degrees. Our highest
point reached was SO degrees, a
minutes, in longitude ISL degrees
36 minutes. Here the temperature
of the water was 4 A degrees +. and
the air AZ degrees f. For a Pacific
voyage from Seattle one needs heavy
winter underwear. Before reaching
Manila the water temperature was
nearly eighty.
"Wolrs Long Howl
Soon after passing our farthest
north we sighted the Aleutean Is
lands. The mountains on Atka
looked cold and uninviting. Some
poet has said that here the mariner
on his lonely midnight watch, could
hear the "wolf's long howl" 1t was
simpy poetic Imagination as the is
lands are fox farms and there are
no VOLTS there.
Day Forever Lost
Sunday August the 4th we had an
experience that could not occur on
land. We passed out of the West
into the East. The $50 Meridian
marks the point where the old day
dies and the new day begins. The
common meeting place of yesterday,
today and tomorrow. Ships passing
westward drop a day here and those
bound eastward double a day. As
the crew have certain privileges on
Sunday the change was not made on
that day. We had no Monday.
Sees His First Whale
Soon after passing the Date Line
we sighted our first school of whales.
The size was disappointing. Not
more than fifty feet of his whale
ships body was visible. Had it not
been for the dorsal fin and the
blowing" we might have imagined
them large logs.
Disappointed in the Fish

of the flying fish was overdrawn.

The engineer thought he could find
them, so took their letters at 25c

Two Easy Marks
They were so "easy" that it would
have been a waste of golden oppor
tunities not to improve the chance.
So just before reaching Yokohama
they were told that everyone enter
ing Japan had to undergo an eN-
animation by the port surgeon and
especially be tested as to their lungs.
The boys felt sure they could pass,
but as there was a lung tester
on ship all would make a prelim-
mary trial. The machine was brought
up. 1t consisted of a piece of hose
from the engineers department. The
machine itself" was down below.
The others blew very moderately and
registered high. No matter how
hard the boys blew, and they blew
till they were fairly black in the face,
they could not get very high reg

In a Heavy Fog
The third and fourth days out
we ran into a heavy fog About 3
a. m, was awakened by an unearth-
ly blast on the whistle. which was
nearly over my stateroom. Then
every minute until noon we had the
terrible roar in our ears. As we were
in the track of the steamers from
Nome and our minds were still full
of the details of the Inflated Colum-
bia, 1t wa not a very pleasant suS-
gestion to have every minute.
Beautiful Day at Sea
About the fifth day, we knew as
soon as we awoke, that something
else was to occupy our minds that
day. The ship was rolling beauti-
fully. Going on deck the waves were
not at all dangerous, but just inter
esting. if you were not sick, and
was very fortunate along that line.

CHAIR or CHICKENS,
Missouri State University Adds a
Poultry Department.
FULL COURSE OF FOWL STUDY

The Hen oaf lily Honored q. Las,
In Her Own .oantry-5everaI East
ern Colleges a ready Give Instruction
In This Erapsa of Science.
Out OF the $4,000 that has just been
maintenance Of the Missouri Agricul
tural college ST 600 will be utilized in
establishing poultry department, and
this subject will be taught in the flu.
ture along with the other branches OF
agricultural science that have place
in the curriculum of the institution,
says the st. Louis Republic.
The department will be made one of
the features of the Agricultural col
lege and given the prominence that
the Importance of the poultry industry
In Missouri warrants.
The course has practically been de-
termined upon, and instruction In the
department will begin with tho opening
OF the Missouri university next fall.
The above amount of $4,000 will be
used to erect the necessary buildings
on the agricultural farm, purchasing
equipments and fitting up the grounds.
All standard varieties Of poultry will
be raised at the farm, and experiments
to determine the relative values will be
carried on continually.
The establishment Of the department
will be of great value to the farmers
and poultry raisers of the state, carried
on as it is contemplated by the author
tiles of the Agricultural college.
This department is one of the most
important at Cornell university and at
both the Rhode Island and Maine Ag-
ricultural colleges. Many students go
from different parts of the country to
take the special poultry course offered
at these institutions. 1t Is proposed to
furnish these opportunities at the Ag-
ricultural college In connection with
the state university at Columbia, Mo-,
for the students Of the west
The returns from the poultry indus
try Of Missouri amounted last year to
over $70,0OOOOO, more than the COM
bined wheat and oat crops and greater
than the value Of either the fruit or
the dairy product of the state. Both
of these industries receive much at
tention from the Agricultural college.
The horticultural department has
been established since the founding OF
the Agricultural college, and the dairy
department was established about five
years ago, soon after the dairy inter
ests of Missouri began to be Of such
great value.
The enormous increase In the poultry
output and the growing interest In the
poultry business led the authorities
some time back to plan the establish
ment Of the department In question,
but lack of means has prevented until
the recent appropriation bill passed
the legislature.

RECORDS IN SERVICE,
Congressman Who Have Sal
More Than Twenty Years.
ONLY THREE NOW IN HOUSE.

Longest Continuous Membership That
Of Thorao Newton--Gencral Eino-
ham May Eeat it-Speaker Cannor's
Aggregate Tcrns Next to Hiehecs.
Leslie J. Perry OF Washington writes
TO the New York Sun
Up to the time when the Hon John
II. Kctcham established the yecord 1t
had been accepted without question
that the Hon. William s. Holman of
Indiana held the record for length of
service In the national house of repre-
sentatlves.
"a. J. f." In letter to the Sun has
made the interesting discovery that
Thomas Newton Of Norfolk, Va, In the
last century sat continuously In the
house for twenty-nlno years and five
days. Moreover, that after IN interval
Of about one year he served again for
two years more, or thirty one years and
five days in all, beating the Holman
record by more than year. Mr.. New
tons long record, however, does not
displace those of Messrs. Ketcham and
Cannon for first and second place
among records for total years Of serv-
ice
All unsung, the almost forgotten and
neglected Newton held the house long
service record for nearly eighty years.
He was not displaced until 1905, when
Mr.. Ketcham took his record from
him. Such Is fame. Mr.. Newton en-
tered congress In 1901 and left 1t In
1888.
Upon the occasion of the house eu.
logies upon Mr.. Holman the supposi-
ton that he was the member of long
est service was In good faith alluded
to by several Of his surviving col
leagues as his most distinctive honor.
Another interesting fact Is disclosed
by the Newton record. He held and
still holds the record for continuous
house service, an honor long conceded
to the late Hon. William D. Kelley.
The latter served twenty eight years
and ten months Mr.. Newton twenty
nine years and five days continuously.
The four record holders for continuous
service, therefore, In their order arc as
follows:
Thomas Newton, Virginia, twenty
nine years and five days.
William ID. Kelley, Pennsylvania,
twenty eight years and ten months.
Henry II. Bingham, Pennsylvania,
twenty eight years.
Samuel J. Randall Pennsylvania,
twenty-sovcn years.
If he lives, General Bingham, who Is
Still a member of the house, will pass
the Newton record, inasmuch as he has
less than one year to serve to do 1t.
Taking up Newton's name In Its
proper place, the record Of tenure of
those who have served more than
twenty years In the house is MS fol

NO PASSES; STAY HOME.
Why Railroads Don't Make Money Out
of Former Free Riders.

The abolition Of the free pass has
not increased the receipts Of the rail-
roads enough for their auditors to de-
tect It IL the experience Of oil Is the
same as that of one of the big railway
systems Of the country whose general
passenger agent was In Washington

interstate commerce commission, says
Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times. His railroad used to
be extremely liberal with passes and
half fares.
but the change hasn't made the
least difference with u.s." said this gen
eral passenger agent. "Our receipts
from passenger traffic have not In
creased, and l don't believe the audi
tors books will show that we have
made $40 by stopping passes OF
course don't know about other roads
but so far as l have heard that Is the
general experience.
"How do l account for 1t? Simply by
the fact that a great many-in fact
most-of those who used to travel or
free transportation now stay at home
They quit travelling when they ceased
to receive passes. That's all there Is
to It.
1T all shows that we haven't made
anything by the stoppage of passes
and 1t didn't cost us anything to give
them. We have not been able to reduce
travelling accommodations. run fewer
trains or fewer cars on those we run
The expense Ia just the same, but we
carry fewer passengers-those who
used to ride free.
'Theres another result Of the shut
down, though, that none Of us had fig

Noiseless Street Car Wheel.

A wheel calculated to reduce the
noise of moving street cars at least rs
per cent has just been tested at De-
troit, Mich. The Free Press calls this
invention lone of the possible bless
ings to the people," The paper states
that the wheel has been successfully
employed In Indianapolis and Milwau-
kee and Is more lasting than the
wheels now in use. One portion Of the
wheel is permanently fixed to the axle,
as are the present cast iron wheels.
The outer shell of the wheel, to which
Is attached the tire, Is fastened to the
inner side with bolts. Between the
two sides Is packing Of heavy card
board that eases the vibration, prevent
ing crystallization and thus prolonging
the life Of the wheel.
