Denver, Colo, April 6.-WHliam J.
Bryan closed a day of strenuous ac-
tivity by addressing $50 banqueters to-
night in the spacious Eel Jebel temple
banquet hall, is addition TO hundreds of
others who filled every seat i'm the gal
leries overlooking the main room. The
; banquet had been arranged by the
Bryan Democratic club of Colorado,
and its president, former Congressman
John F. Shafroth, presided. Mr. Bryan
was the only speaker. He said, in
part:
Mr.. Bryap's Speech.
IT do not come TO Colorado because
missionary work is necessary, but for
the pleasure of coming. We carried
this state by large majority in 1896
and In 1900. We ought to have "A larger
majority this year than in either of
those years. Everyone who voted with
us in 1886 ought to vote with us now,
and those who were against us i'm 1896
have had time to see the vindication
that has come TO Democratic principles.
The cumulative theory of money has
90 per cent per capita more money i'm
circulation now than we had in 1885,
and with that increase we have had
higher prices and better times. The
silver question is no longer an issue,
but Its elimination is due to the fact
that we have secured from another
source the increase in currency which
was expected from the restora ton of
bimetallism. But the money question
rs not the only question upon which
our position has been proven correct by

against the trusts has been shown to

ION the tariff question also the Dem

for tariff revision-the revision to be

the tariff reform sentiment so strong
that he finally reached the conclusion

creditable BILL and her support is we'll up
to what it should be. The five people in

fun as he can make them. 1t would hard

part is only a light one. adds greatly to
the play with her remarkable beauty. A
typical Gibson girl brings a note of real
beauty into the play, which, while it
does not detract from the fun. makes it
all the more enjoyable.

HILL AFFAIR STIRs HOUSE.
Ample Quarters for Ambassadors of
United States Likely to Result.

United States Likely to Result
A lesson taught by the recent unpleas-
antness over the selection OF Dr.. David
Jayne Hill as Ambassador to Germany.
was given consideration yesterday by the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Among the reasons assigned for the
Kaiser's alleged unwillingness TO receive
DR.. Hill at his court was the fact that
the latter's private fortune would prevent
him from occupying an imposing embassy
building and entertaining on a lavish
scale In keeping with the Importance and
dignity Of his position in the German
capital.
Ambassador Tower set pace in a social
way at Berlin that made the natives sit
up and take notice. 1t was alleged that
the American gossips in Berlin pointed
out to the Kaiser that Dr. Hill would be
forced. by necessity. TO live in a com
paratively modest way. President Roose-
welt and Secretary Root selected DR.. Hill
for the Berlin post because OF his fitness
for the place.
AS a result of the poverty" of DR..
Hill, an effort will be made at this ses-
sion of Congress to secure the enactment
OF a law providing proper quarters for
the ambassadors and ministers OF the
United States resident in the European cap
itals. The matter was given consideration
by the Committee on Foreign Affairs
yesterday.
Great Britain and nearly every other
first-class power own embassy and lega-
ton buildings in every capital in which
they are represented. In Washington, for
example, the diplomatic representatives of
Italy, Austria, Great Britain. Turkey,
Mexico, Corea, France. Japan. and China
occupy buildings owned by their respect
i've governments.

The tracks Of the Southern Pacific run
along the Imperial Valley, which en-
braces thousands OF acres OF land as
rich as the Delta OF the Nile. In lsOf
break in the Colorado River. a tor
rental stream that is likely TO run loose
at any time, submerged the tracks. as
well as the property OF thousands OF

The railroad. having the facilities at
hand. promptly repaired the break.
President Roosevelt commended the ac-
ton OF the road, and gave assurances
that he would recommend TO Congress
that II be reimbursed.

bill for Sl,6ooOO0, representing the ex-
pense TO which it alleges it was put do

Senator Carter Will call meeting of the
subcommittee on, streets and avenues of
the Senate District Committee this after
noon. 10 consider and act upon the House
bill 10 widen the Benning road. 10 which
is appended, as an amendment, the Sims
bill 10 stop gambling at the Benning race
track.
Both Senators Carter and Burkett. yes
terday. expressed the belief that the bill
would be ordered favorably reported back
to the District Committee at its regular
weekly meeting tomorrow.
The same two Senators also declared
that there had been no discussion OF any
proposition to report the Burkett bill
which is a duplicate Of the Sims amend
ment, instead Of that carrying the amend
ment. Mr.. Burkett repeated the state
ment which he made at the time he in
troduced his bill. to the effect that ha
had offered the bill merely as a precau-
tionary measure. so that the fight against
the gamblers on the Senate side OF the
Capitol should not depend for success
upon a single measure.
No substitution Expected.
He had heard no expression in favor OF
substituting his bill for the House bill,
and did not believe that this would be
done. When he offered the bill the Sen
ator said there had been some question
as TO the street widening sections of the
House bill. and he had pat the additional
bill in as a result Of that condition.
There has been no change in the senti-
rent Of the members OF the District Com
mittee toward the race-track gamblers
On the contrary, the opinion Of the men,
bers Of the committee that the gambling
should be stopped has been strengthened
in the last few days.
Gamble Would Stop Practice.
Senator Gamble, OF South Dakota, yes
terday said that he was unalterably op-
posed 10 permitting gambling in any form
in the District. He said he was thorough
ly in line with his colleagues in the Dis
trict Committee on this question, and that
he would favor no effort to put off legis-
lation to end the practice.
The Senator said he knew Of no sufi-
cient reason why Congress should take
cognizance Of the existence Of the present
race meeting at the Benning track as an
argument for delaying such legislation
he favored immediate action TO purge the
District Of any gambling which might be
conducted here.
