LONG A WORLD POWER.
Bryan Says American Ideas Have
Been Spreading.

CHICAGO. March 19.-Wiiliam Jennings
Bryan was chief orator and guest Of homer
at the ST. Patrck's day banquet of the
Irish Fellowship Club Tuesday night at
the Auditorium Hotel His speech, which
was on signs of the Times" came at the
end of a long program. and it was far
past midnight when he began.
"Thronghout this world he declared.
there is progress in government Some
imagine we are just beginning to be a
world power. But for more than a CEN
fury the American ideas of government
have been spreading and i'm all countries
there are signs of the coming of universal
popular government. Persia and China
are the most notable OF these but Aus
tria. Sweden and England are In the fore
front. The party of the aristocracy is the
dying party the world around. And every
step toward primary, toward giving the
people greater control, is in line with this
world movement.
There Is alSO moral advance as a
sign of the times. The ethical awakening
in this country has already had great re-
suits. 1t is keeping pace with the INTEL
lectual and political advance. The signs
of the times point to a higher citizenship
and higher manhood. The suffering en-
dured in ireland has not been i'm vain. 1t
has Influenced the Irish to be champions
of liberty and justice everywhere: and I
believe that there Is to be reaction i'm
favor Of ireland. Public opinion is more
potent than ever before. and the increa Sc
in the feeling of brotherhood must surely
work tn the hanaft of Ireland"

LOCAL UNION
SIGNS PLAYERS

News has been received here to the
effect that Manager Irwin of the Wash
inston Union League has got the name OF
Charles Atherton to a contract and that
lie will make the popular player captain
of the club. 1t may be remembered that
Anterior got his start in this city under
the Wasners in the nineties and since his
departure from this town has played In
many leagues. principally the Eastern.
ON his first entry to the minor league he
played with Buffalo for two seasons, the
team that corralled two successive PEN
nants while he was member. His work
was very good while with Buffalo and he
received many f1attering offers from the
American League TO come back, but he
was taken suddenly sick. which caused
his retirement from the game for the
greater part of last season. He is an
infielder and considered a dangerous man
with the willow.
Two other players have been signed by
Manager Irwin. They are Harry Gleason
and Houser the former having been
second baseman for the st. Paul club.
while the latter covered the initial sack
for the Altoona club of the Iri-State
League last season.
The men TO represent this city Will re-
port to Manager Irwin in Philadelphia on
April for practice. The manager Is al
present coaching the Pennsylvania Uni
versity team and he plans to have the
men of the outlaw team practice on
Franklin Field with the college players.

C0RRIGAN HAS TWO
HIGH-CLASS FILLIES

NEW ORLEANS, March 19.-In the
race for the rich Louisiana stake. which
was the feature OF the program at the
City Park track yesterday, Edward Cor
rigan's two FLIES. Elizabeth Harwood
and Anne MCGEE. proved to be much the
best. and finished first and second, re-
spectively. Elizabeth Harwood won
easily, but her stablemate was forced to
for the place honors.
Horsemen favored the chance of Fore
before the race because that youngster
had shown high form in his previous
races He was accordingly made top
heavy favorite at 8 to 10. But he was
unable to concede a five-pound penalty
to Elizabeth HARDWOOD, and after he had
shown the way for a furlong he col
lapsed and was easily passed by the Cor
rigan FLIES.
Old Robin Hood showed that he had
regained his speed by beating a lot of
fast sprinters in the siX-furlonSs dash
II. the third race on the program. He
ran the distance in LIZ %. a rate of
speed that he has never beaten in pre-
vious years. Under the skillful guidance
of Jockey Notter he dashed into a long
lead soon after the start and managed to
stay in front to the end, although very
leg-weary at the finish.
The steeplechase had the usual cut
and-dried look about it which has caused
SO much opposition to that particular
branch of the sport this winter Kemp
Ridgely carried large amount of the
wise paddock money and he performed
his duty by leading throughout. He won
easily. He never had serious opposition
from the other horses and always had
first money at his mercy. Dario fell at
the second jump. and John Dillon went
"crOpper'' at the eighth obstacle.

a scheduled fifteen round battle for the

corner in apparently good condition. and
the crowd was taken by surprise when the

find that any bones were broken 1t was
the opinion that Weinrib proved too much
for the champion and from now on Vein
rib will be looked upon as the king of the
bantamweisht division. Weinrib fought
very clever battle, while the performance
by Murphy was very disappointing.
In the first five rounds of the fight
Murphy was the Murphy of old. During
that session of the mill Murphy had moth
ing whatever on Weinrib. Weinrib had
shade the better of the sixth. while
in the seventh it was even up. In the
eighth Weinrib came from his corner and
rushed Murphy off Of his feet He jabbed
him with straight lefts that had the lit

Weinrb made a better showing
than was expected of him. and the crowd
showed its approval by cheering him in
the latter stages. as he fought the cleaner
battle. The articles called for the little
men to weigh in at lis pounds. and at
that figure neither raised the beam when
they weighed in at ringside.
There was lively wrangle over the
rules OF the battle Weinrib finally CIV

POSTAL CLERKS AT BANQUET.
Men of Baltimore Office Entertain
Guests From This City.

BALTIMORE. March 19.-An annual
thirty-day holiday for postal clerks was
championed by c. P. Grandfeld, first as
sistant postmaster general, at the ban
quet given last night at the Eutaw House
by the Baltimore Post Office Clerks
Branch No. 4. L. \. a. P. 0. c. 1t had
been planned to have Frank H. Hitch
cock, former first assistant postma ster
general, as the guest of honor, but he
deemed it inadvisable to attend, owing
to his present political activity in the
interest of Secretary Taft. He sent. in
stead, very nice letter of appreciation,
which was cheered to the echo.
The banquet. however, lost none of its
significance through the absence of Mr..
Hitchcock. 1t was intended as a testi-
monial of the appreciation by the clerks
of the interest taken by the department
and by Congress in their material vel
fare, and as such was splendidly carried
out.
The distinguished Washington guests
were met in the Capital city yesterday
by the following committee: Messrs. s..

the future when any legislation looking
to the better condition of the post office
