New York, Aug. 31—Although j
two clays ahead of the expected j
time of his arrival the committee
met Bryan yesterday afternoon as j
the Princess Irene entered the
roadstead and took him off the
boat. Special permission to stop!
the steamer before landing was
made was given for this occasion
by Roosevelt. A delegation from
Nebraska took Bryan in charge;
I
and bis passage along the road-;
stead was accompanied by cheer- j
ing and shouts of “hail the next
president." All the crafts along
the route were gaudily decorated.
Bryan spent the night at the home
of Lewis Nixon where a conference
was held with personal friends and
politicians. He refused to discuss
politics, reserving all mention of
that till the time of his reception.
He says he will discuss only the]
subjects mentioned in iiis letter to
Senator Jones where he said he
might accept the nomination a
third time, and he declines to make j
any prophecies concerning politi
cal developments. saying that he
is interested in the coming cam
paign but will taka no part until
nominations are made. To-dav
was spent by him opening a large
batch of mail.
New York, Hep. 1—Twenty
thousand people were assembled
in Madison Square Garden when
Bryan made his first appearance
before the public since his return
from the continent. As he came
into sight cheering started and

continued for eight minutes, while
Brvnn paced the platform nerv
ously. Ifcarst occupied a box and
SuUivan was also present.
Bryan talked for an hour and a
half with the crowd cheering fre
quently. When he announced
that he had l*een Converted to ttie
principle of government owner
ship of railroads the audience broke
into cheers for Hearst. The only
discord in the meeting was when
Bryan said that the man who
made the statement ‘‘that trusts
were economic growths and had
come to .stay" was helping social
ism. A voice from the audience
cried “three chrees for social'sm”,
but he was hissed down.
The speaker said that he re
turned from other lands thankful
that providence had cast his lot
with the United States, and with
an increased love for our form of
government. His trip impressed
him with our responsibili'ies—
while we must be students and
learn the good things from other
countries, we are also teachers of
other nations. He says he brings
home a message of peaee, the sen
timents of all nations favoring the
Hague tribunal and avoidance of
the use of navies for the collection
of debts. This practice retards
American development and pro
gress, the Smaller nations fearing
to allow American capital to invest
with them on account of the possi
bility of international trouble.
He says the United States lias
lost prestige with other countries
bv its attempted colonialism. His
tour of the Philippines convinced
him that the government should
lose no time announcing its pur
pose of dealing with the Philip
pines as it did with the people of
Cuba.
It is his idea that the European
governments' legislative depart
ment are quicker to respond to
public sentiment than *our Con
gress. which does not meet for
thirteen months after the election
of any party. It would l>e an im
provement if a constitutional
amendment was adopted requiring
Congress to meet a few months
after election and avoid the long
periods of uncertainty regarding
business policy. He says he lias
returned more convinced than ever
of the justice of the direct primary
election of senators. All countries
be visited demand that the gov
ernment be closer to the people.
He regards the income tax as just
and considers it a disgrace that in
time of war we use the army and
navy for the purpose of protecting
the wealth of the country yet can
not in case of emergency compel
the wealth of the country to stand
their share of the burden of sup
porting the government.

tering returns from the democratic

Havana, Sep. U—The insurrec
tion is spreading and there is now
fighting in every province except
Peurto Principe. .‘1000 rebels are
at Cienfuegos and hundreds are
joining them. The intervention
of the United States is very proha
%
hie. The papers are calling on
the rebels to lay down their arms,
saying if they do not the United
States will interven and that would
he worse than having the island
swept by the sea, as the Americans
hate the negroes.
Honolulu, Sep. 3—The transport
Sherman broke her main steam
pipe while heading for this place
and being helpless drifted onto a
reef outside the harbor, where she

pieces on the rocks in a few more
hours.
Bridgeport, Conn, Sep. 3—Bryan
addressed a large audience in the
armory and assailed the republi
can party, saying that Roosevelt
had not lived up to his opportunity,

tlie trusts, and says he secs a great
revolution in view of the republi
can party.
He announces himself in favor
of arbitration of all labor troubles
saving society everywhere demands
protection both from employee and
employer as society is tin? greatest
sufferer from all strikes. He be
lieves tiie day is coming when the
eight hour law will he universal.
The bimetallists are satisfied
with present conditions, the un
precedented production of gold
having given an increased volume
of money, which was all the
bimetallists wanted.
Speaking of the trust investiga
tions he said they had revealed
conditions which the people should
have known years ago. The re
publicans are apparently unwill
ing to pass tlie law against corpor
ation contributions for campaigns
and tbe democrats must do so and
keep an open book of all moneys
received for campaign purposes.

terson, editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal sco’ed Bryan this
morning for advancing the argu
ment that government ownership
of railroads should he taken up hv
the democratic party. He says it
is the height of unwisdom from a
