BRYAN AND CANNON
The Twice Defeated Democratic Candidate Says Cannon Will
 Be His Opponent.

Danville, III, Jan 1O.-William J. Bryan. who spoke here last night at dinner rendered him by the Bryan democracy, declared it his belief that Joseph G. Cannon, of this city, will be the republican candidate for president and that he will oppose MT Cannon.
 MT Bryan spoke on '.The issues of the hour, the second speech of the present Illinois miners campaign, crit. icising the actions of the admibistra- tion and suggesting remedies for af- fairs financial, the curbing of the eastern banks, Wall street and the centralization of wealth. His offer iugs would probably be made light of by the opposition, he said. and he again would be referred to as dream CT, but it mattered not to him.
 MT Bryan said there is not q plank in the platform laid down at Chicago in 1896 but what is stronger, now and that there is not a plank in the repub- lican platform of that year but what is weaker. Every principle held then by the democratic party has been vim dicated

Boys $3 knickerbocker suits $194 at Upson, Singleton & Co.'S.
 At the Waterbury hospital to-day it was found necessary to amputate the toes on the right foot of S L. Tucker. the brakeman injured at Platt's Mills yesterday.
 For the short time that the picture cabinet has been in the detectives office large number of pictures have l been taken and the local department now has quite a collection.
 The annual report of the Oakville company has been filed in the town clerks office. J. H. Bronson is presi- dent of the concern and Walter Place Of Watertown assistant treas urer and secretary.
 Mrs John Ryan, agent for num- Der of the first class steamship lines received notice to-day that the rates in all classes and particularly in the third, have been reduced. As an ad- vance to old prices may be made any day now is the time for those who are contemplating trip across the water to take advantage of the low rate. Call at 507 North Main street and learn particulars.
 The cold weather drove many new visitors to the office of the depart ment of charities to-day They came from all parts ot the town and Su- perintendent Morris and the rest of the office help were kept busy hear ing what they had to say and attend ing to the regular callers. Up to the present time good deal of work was going on, so that poor people were able to care for themselves. but now practically all out of door operations are closed for time and those who have nothing ahead have no other back door. Of course it is the last resort, but when one sees no other alternative he shouldn't wait too long or be anyway bashful about making his wants known.

BERLIN EXCITED
Socialists March Before Parlia. meni BulIdlng-They Want
 Manhood Suffrage
POLICE PROTECT PLACE

Berlin, Jan 1O.-Intense excitement has been aroused here by an interpel- lation, presented recently to the ,Prus- sian landtag by q liberal member and demanding the introduction of man hood suffrage in the elections of mem- bers of the lower house of the Prus- sian landtag. Last night no fewer than thirty-five socialists mass meetings were held in Berlin, as we'll as many others in the country districts in fla yor of the movement. To-day before the landtag convened 1000 socialists marched before the parliament build ing. This demonstration assumed a somewhat threatening aspect and q large body of police surrounded the entrances to the building and later cleared the surrounding streets.
 Under the present electoral system in Prussia, there are three classes of electors. The laboring men has been completely deprived of representation in the Prussian parliament, owing to the fact that he was overwhelmed at the final elections by the other two classes The categories of electors are formed arbitrarily by dividing the total amount of taxation received by the state into three equal parts. A small number of wealthy persons paying the first third of the total of taxation select certain number Of men from their ranks to act as final voters; more extended number of less wealthy persons who pay the next third of the full amount of tax ation, choose an equal number of final electors, while the third class of voters, composed of the remainder of the population and including the work men, whose numbers reach to the mil lions, are allowed to select number of final voters equal to that chosen by each of the other two classes. The total number of final electors select ed by this process, then proceed to cast the final vote, at which the rep resentatives of the two first named classes always vote solidly together. thus shutting out any possibility of illt tltNtloii VI u VI 'hN working classes.
 Prince Von Buelow. the imperial chancellor, has made known his inten- ton of speaking on this subject dur ing the debate which is to follow the presentation of the interpolation
 The crowd before the parliament building to-day. numbered many thou sands When the doors were open q dozen men forced an entrance to the building, but they were quickly hauled back by the. police. The police were still trying to. maintain order when Prince Yon Buelow drove up. He was greeted with ironical cheers, ac- campanied ny hoots and shouts of I've want manhood suffrage" The police. fearing violence. drove the crowd into the side streets. The po- lice did not draw their weapons, and no arrests were made. The manifes- tants remained in the vicinity of the building.

THE COAL OUTPUT.
The Greatest Production on Record
 Last Year.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.--The great boom in the anthracite coal trade which continues practically up to the close of the year and which resulted in the greatest years production on record has been halted. The mildness of the weather is primarily the cause of the suspension of activity in the trade. while the curtailment of pro- duct and the shutting down of indus tries have been contributing factors. Dealers generally throughout the country are we'll stocked with anthra.. cite and the new year opens with a dearth of orders so far as the pro ducing companies are concerned
 While there Is yet no serious consid
 eration given to the matter of cur tailing the output this will follow very quickly unless decided im- provement sets in the trade. as it is not the policy of the mining con- panies 10 mine and store coal when the cost of mining is at its highest.

WALKERS RELEASE
Bridaeport Firm Said 10 Bave Been Engaged Walker Pre-
 tends Not 10 Know.

New Britain, Jan 10.-A Pinkerton dispatch to the New Britain Savings bank yesterday afternoon informing them that lawyers had been engaged ito secure Walkers release" put new life into the prosecution of the embez- zler now In jail at Ensenada and stir red things up generally.
 The New York agency of the Pink ertons wired that their representative at Ensenada informed them that the law firm of Beers X Foster of Bridge port, Conn, had been engaged by some, body to fight Walkers acquisition and that this firm had employed an En- senada lawyer ito secure Walkers re- lease" 4
 It was learned in Bridgeport yes terday afternoon that the law firm oi DeForest X Klein had been secured to fight the extradiction of Walker and Jacob B. Klein, the junior member oi the firm. said that the firm had been asked to act in the case by some one who "called up the office by telephone from New York" He declined to give the name of his client or clients, but said that he expected them to call up on him in Bridgeport to-day and added that the aid of Hartford county lawyers had also been secured. The firm of DeFOrest X Klein is one of the leading law firms of the city and its senior member. Robert F. DeFor- est, was formerly a congressman from that district and was also mayor of Bridgeport at one time.
 Walkers latest dodge, according to information received by Julius H Pease, is that his mind is a complete blank. He doesn't know anything about any missing bank securities and doesn't remember anything at all of his life in New Brtain-according to his statements. From our informa- tion sent by Mir Pease,' Treasurer Stanley said. Walkers statements are absolutely unreliable and no de- pendance is to be put on anything that he says"
 The bank people, on learning that counsel had been engaged for Walker got at once into communication with States Attorney Eggleston to inform him of the new move in the case. Il Is "a curious provision of the Mexican law. as the state department outlined 1t to the banks representative. who went to Washington, Judge Cooper that no outside counsel may be en- gagged to assist the public prosecutor The understanding here is that the criminal may have as many lawyers ns he or his friends are able to hire to fight his case. but the public prosecu- tor may hnve no assistance unless he specially requests il. wien his request is taken under consideration. States Attorney Eggleston said last night that he had informed the state depart mcht of the Plnkerton intelligence that counsel had been engaged for Walker and had made inquiries about the possibility of counsel being em- ployed to defend the banks interests and fight the attempt to evade extra dition.
