liberal applause.
The speaker told OF the progress OF

that there had been a general move

for reform I'm all branches of govern

pressed the belief that the Irish home
rule bill will be passed by the present
British parliament and was willing TO
risk his reputation as a prophet on
the prediction that the resolution for
the election of United States senators
by direct vote OF the people will be
passed by both houses OF congress In
the coming special session. Mr.. Bryan
recalled that the election OF senators

28 years ago, and that he made II a
plank In his platform when he first
ran for congress-, 20 years ago With
reference TO the recall he said:
There is only one way TO defend
office-holding. The people must need
the officer. II Is not that the Office
holder needs the people. We have
poorhouses for the men whom the
public must support"
Immediately after the lecture, Mr..
Bryan boarded train for Dubuque,

In Lincoln, Neb.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-As much
of the wrecked battleship Maine as
the available funds will permit, will
be removed orr prepared for removal
from Havana harbor, it was said to-
day, and then the mammoth cofterdam
surrounding the ruins will be refilled
with water to await an additional ap-
preparation by congress to finish the
raising operations.
Congress failed to act upon the
presidents request for an additional
$3.50, 900, and the war department has
mapped out its plans for the expendi-
tuRe at the money on hand, which
pro6a0fy viii be exhausted by the
time congress convenes in December.
Because Of the lack of funds, even
funeral services over the recovered re-
mains Of the dead and the erection in
Arlington National cemetery of the
mast Of the Inflated vessel as a mon-
ument to them must be postponed. The
remains and the mast will be sent to
the cemetery 20 be stored there until
