BRYAN SAY VS.
SILVER WILL
NOT BE ISSUE
NEBRASKAN HAS BUSY DAY IN
NEW YORK
Declares He viii Not Allow President

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--William j
Bryan was asked today whether his
Carnegie hall speech of last night had
been intended to include an intimation
that free coinage of silver was still
public issue. Mr.. Bryan replied;
mo, free silver is not an issue. What
1 said last night had no connection
with the silver question. l simply re-
ferred to it to show that change had
taken place in the arguments that are
being made at the present time.
THE silver question was an issue in
1896 because prices We're falling and
there was no other relief in sight.
Since gold production has materially
increased prices are rising or were
until the recent panic, and will again
as soon as normal conditions are re-
stored. The silver question therefore
will not be an issue"
Mr. Bryan was rendered a reception
in the office of Borough President Bird
S. Coler in Brooklyn today and ad-
dressed a gathering of Brooklyn men
in the corridors of the city building.
He said:
IT am glad to find that we have a
united Democratic party l have suf-
fered as much as anyone from the re-
suits of a divided party and l am
gratified that we are now presenting
a united front. I hope for Democratic
victory this fall.
1.-THE Democratic party has taken an
advanced ground and has vindicated
sour position. Some of our ideas have
been indorsed by President Roosevelt.
l emphasize the word some. In some
things the president is right. Never
theless, / do not intend to let him
push me off the Democratic platform 3"

CHICAGO COVERED WITH
sLEET; ACCIDENTS MANY
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-A sleet storm
during the night. which turned to rain
early today, seriously affected tele-
graphic communication between Chi
cago and many outside cities and espe-
cially in the west.
ST. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City
were entirely cut off from the east dur
ing the early hours by a sleet storm
which surrounded st. Louis and ex-
tended into Iowa.
In Chicago the storm affected much
of the transportation in the early rush
hours. Electric railroads were the
rincipal sufferers, the steam lines
experiencing but slight delay.
The elevated roads had great diff
Guilty in operating their trains owing to
ice forming on the third rail, the Ken
wood branch of the south side elevated
road being tied up completely early in
the day.
Icy sidewalks were responsible for
many accidents during the day. In
four hours more than a score of people
had been badly injured.

ENGLAND HAS
HER EYES ON
THE PACIFIC
SQUADRON IN THE NORTH TO
BE INCREASED
5ritain's Naval Strength Will Be
Added to BY Several Vessels Now
in Atlantic Waters-Base
at Esquimault
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 5.-Advice!
have been received to the effect thai
the British North Pacific squadron is t.
be increased and that some time this
year, probably in May, the fourth
cruiser squadron will proceed to the
Pacific presumably bound for the Brit
ish naval base at Esquimault.
The fourth squadron consists of the
cruisers Grossly, Euryalus, Hogue, Bril-
liant and Indefatigable and six cruis-
ers of the county class. The fortress
at Esquimault Is now garrisoned by
Dominion troops as is that in Halifax
The plan to send the vessels to the
Pacific is explained by local naval Off
cials as being step in the direction OF
reviving the British Pacific squadron
which was abolished four years age
when Sir John Fisher became first lord
of the admiralty and a policy of con-
traction was adopted.
The North Atlantic squadron was
withdrawn from Halifax at the same
time and became part of the home
fleet in the British channel. When the
Pacific squadron was Cancelled, the
best of the ships were attached to the
large China fleet at Hongkong, the
others being recalled to England. Later
two ships detached from the China fleet
were sent to Esquimault and at pres
ent they are the only British vessels
in. those waters. They are the Algerine
and the Shearwater, light armored
cruisers.
Two of the ships of the cruiser
squadron detailed for the Pacific
trip-the Indefatigable and the Bril-
liant-have been on the West Indian
station. The other three-the Cressy,
Hogue and Eryus-have never been in
North American waters.
All five ships have recently been
overhauled and recommissioned They
each carry two 9-inch guns, twelve G.
inch guns, besides subsidiary arma-
ments.
Esquimault is the British naval base
on the Pacific coast, strongly fortified
and supplied with arsenal, dry dock
and dock yards. 1t possesses a fine
harbor at the southern end of Van
couver island and commands the ap-
proach to Puget sound.
The British naval organ here, in a
fervid editorial on the plan, says that
the government and the admiralty are
to be congratulated on their decision.

PERMANENT TARIFF BOARD

b. Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Senator
Beveridge of Indiana today addressed
the senate in advocacy of his bill to
create a permanent tariff commission.
The senator was accorded careful
hearing by both the Republican and
Democratic sides of the chamber and
also by the crowded galleries. In the
galleries several sections had been re-
served for members of commercial and
manufacturing bodies now in the city
for the purpose of promoting the in
terests of Mr. Beveridge's bill.
He said: 1.-THE tariff is fixed by facts
how to get at these facts is the first
question in the whole tariff problem.
Common sense and experience answer
the questions. We should create a
body of experts to find out these facts
for us. The men should be the fittest
men that can be found for this work.
They should give their whole time to
this work and lay before us the result.
This bill seeks to create such a
commission of experts to find out the

the grasp of sleet, snow and terrific
cold
Temperatures ranging from 45 de-
grees below zero up the state in New
York to zero in the metropolis, tell the
story OF today's suffering. In PennsyI-
vania, Philadelphia reports zero

tell of battles with the elements.
blizzard has been sweeping over Wis
consin, Minnesota and Michigan. In
the vicinity of Detroit traffic ON the
| railroads is virtually suspended.

ing or starving to death by the farmers

cago are down. Indiana is in the grasp
or blizzard and Ohio is experiencing

| four hours. Pawn tickets for eighteen
articles of dress and jewelry ere
| found.

past five years.
Build Fires in Streets

with homeless men last night Early
today when those without shelter were

PORTUGUESE ACCEPT PROMISE

LISBON, Feb. 5.-The announced in

end to repression and restore the "old
liberal monarchy" which has existed
In Portugal for sixty years has had a
soothing effect on the country. Tran
GUILTY. is reported from everywhere in
the interior and today. Lisbon, bask-
ing in the brilliant sunshine, seems
perfectly peaceful
Troops are less conspicuous on the
streets of the city, and if the day of
the funeral passes without incident the
present phase of the crisis through
which the country is passing may be
regarded as at an end.
The willingness of Machade, the Re-
publican leader, and the Republicans
generally to acquiesce in this situation
If their friends are released seems to
insure a return to less strenuous
modes of political warfare. Generally
speaking, another upheaval in the near
future is considered practically i'm
possible.
Franco in SecIusion
Intense interest is shown in Frances
whereabouts. The drama centers
about him, but he remains in seclusion,
seemingly crushed in spirit. He de-
cllned TO see Correspondents TO Ofter a
defense of his policy and explain his
downfall or his decision to retire COM
pletely from the political arena. His
elimination is regretted by the COM
mercial classes and foreign elements,
who are convinced that his sole object
was the good of the country.
The young king himself believed in
Franco. The day after i the tragedy.
while unbosoming himself to a life
long friend, he said:
81 intend to retain Franco He was
my fathers friend and shall be mine" >"
1t is well known, however, that the
dowager has always been hostile to
the former premier, and latterly Queen
Amelie shared the view that the die
tatorship had been carried too far
She is said to have demonstrated with
him that it might end in a tragedy
and invoked him in behalf of a milder
course, in memory of what their own
family had suffered in France.
On the day of the assassinations
amid the confusion of that memorable
scene in the arsenal quadrangle, where
the royal carriage took refuge. when
beside herself with grief, the queen
turned on Franco and cried:
THAT is what your work has donei"
The reconciliation of these two ut
terances with the influences at work
is believed to furnish the true key to
the secret of Frances downfall.
