writer's chronicled that "the game was

Bryan, Trip Ended Points to
Chances In South America.
William j. Bryan, who has just
made a: tour Of South America, re-
turned to New York the other day on
board, the Red D. Line steamship Car
acas. Mr.. Bryan talked of his trip
to the newspaper men. He was en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of
South America to be developed by the
opening of the Panama Canal.
South America Is bound to become
the great market for the products Of
this country" said Mr.. Bryan. Here
tofore our merchants and manufacture
ers have been kept busy with the home
markets, but now they are reaching
out for the trade of the countries to
the south Of us, and they will gain
1t In time. The increased sale OF our
goods within very recent period dem
.onstrated that we are already begin
ming to see the necessity for reaching
out and grasping the opportunities
that lie all ready to our hand in the
South American countries. The open
ing Of the Panama Canal, which will
not be delayed later than 1915. in my
opinion will lead to marvellous de-
velopment Of trade relations with the
countries on the west coast of South
America"
During the next fifty years" con-
tinued Mr.. Bryan, between 25,000,8O0
and 5O.OOO,0O0 emigrants will find a
home in South America, and the 80
cial and economical changes that will
be brought about by this shift in pop.
ulation will bring up for consideration
wholly new and probably difficult prob
lens"
Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the
letter sent by him to be read at the

A tremendous sea was running. and
when last seen the small boats which
had left the Santa Clara had not been
able to get alongside Of the Ranger.
The Eureka life-saving crew put to sea,

The defeat was overwhelming. Mr..

gle-handed, Mr.. Ravens succeeded in
almost reversing this plurality In a
campaign that lasted but seventeen

no doubt that the PaynaAldrich tar
