tention 10 the execution of the plans
for withdrawal in safety of those
Americans in Mexico who can be in
duced to come out of the country.
The immediate result of the state
departments warning was to gather Il
number of such refugees in the sea
ports but most of these have now
been shipped To the United States and

Mr.. Bryan Somewhat
Sore On Newspapers.

PhoeniNville. Pa, Sept. l4.-WiIIam
Jennings Bryan denies that he is d
vaudeville performer or a peanut see
rotary of state" or that he has made
Il traVesty of diplomacy, as alleged b.
numerous leading newspapers abroad
and at home. The secretary of state
has eonfided his views to persons with
whom he has come in contact on the
shautauqua circuit, out of which he is
making something more than 500 a
lecture sometimes delivering two lee
lures a day.
When Secretary Bryan learned that
his remarks had been repeated he xeri-
fed them to certain extent. He as
serted that he is a much malignet
individual. He said that he objected
to being considered a montebank or
trapeze performer, and referred to de
|scriptions of his Chester lecture which
appeared in several newspapers of the
country.
How is it," demanded the secretary,
that some newspaper men so color
the truth as to make it untruthful
and ridiculous?''
1t was suggested that perhaps those
newspaper men had orders to look up
on the humorous side of his chautau
qua lecture where he was sandwiched
between a trapeze performer and am
other theatrical act.
They might lose their jobs if they
didn't obey ORDERS was suggested
Secretary BRYAN seemed to get lit
lie clustered at this answer, and de-
manded:
Then, if some person offered those
newspaper men $1,000 to go out and kill
man, they would do so just to earn
the money
The fact that the secretary has beer
the target for editorials in many Of The
papers in the United States did no
appear to bother him greatly
THE domestic newspapers that have
| attacked me all wear the Tory stripe,
he said. so their attacks are to b'
expected. Many of them know the
| facts in the case, but they Just tWis
| the facts to suit themselves
But the attacks Of the foreign news
papers seemed to have scratched TIN
| conscience of Secretayr Bryan.
What right have they to deelar'
that / am making a travesty eff diplo
| macy" he said They do not know thu
| facts. They should make an inVestiga
| ton before they make the wild state
| menis they have Teen making. The,
say outright that | am neglecting m,
| duti when the Mexican and J8panes
| questions are acute
| Throughout his talk secretary Bry
an showed plainly that the attacks up
on his lecture tour had become wear
ing upon him, but he gave no intima
ton that he would give up the lecture
and lose the revenue. As a matter o
fact it is understood that he coul
not give up the lectures If be desired
| The only way in which the contrac
could be broken would be through Ill
ness u the pressure OF affairs Of state
Thu secretary docs not look i'll am
he says there is no especial pressure o
