PAWNEE CITY, Neb., Oct. 21.-~(8pecial.) —The Omaha oraclo of fusion and herald of reform in its fssue of October 18 prints the following list of Pawnee county old soldiers who have this year turned over to Bryan and Knight-of-the-Golden-Circlo Stevenson. The article, as it appeared In the World-Herald is as follows: OLD SOLDIERS FOR BRYAN. Those Who Are Coming Over to Bryan n Pawnee County.

There are more than 200 old soldlers in Pawnee county, The above liat 1s, to &1l iutents and purposes, published as & complete roster of the local veterans who will support the fusion ticket. Granting that It is bona fide, President McKinley's majority among the goldlers of the county will approximate 200 votes. But the list .8 mot bona fide; it is untrue and is published for the evident purpose of deceiving and misleading the soldier vote. Every veteran med in the list was supporting the demo- cratio ticket long before Mr. Bryan was thought of as a presidential possibility; before the first blow of the silver cham- plon's “First Battle” was struck. One of the number has been dead re than a year and one of them {8 outspoken in his support of McKinley and the flag. The ‘World-ITarald’s article is an admirable ex- ample of premeditated falsehood and de- celt, hut has the one redecming feature of emphasizing McKinley's popularity with the sold'~rs of Pawnee county to a remark- able dezree.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Senators Hanpa and Fryo artived here this afternoon from Omaha, Neb, where last night the conclud- ing meetings were held of thelr week's tour- ing of Miunesota, Bouth Dakota and Ne- braska. Senator Frye will probably leave here tomorrow for New York, whilo Sen- ator Hanna will devote most of the coming week (o speechmaking in Chicago, with Joltet, 111, also on his itinerary. Senator Hanna was almost worn out from his week's traveling and was suffering consid- erably from rheumatism. He was driven to bis apartments immediately upon his arrival “I have taken South Dakota out of the doubtful column,” sald Senator Hanna. “There 1s no doubt in my mind that its electoral vote will be cast for McKinle; Of course, surface indications are all one can go by on a trip of that kind, but the immense crowds 1 talked to and the warm greetings I recelved leave no other opinion possible. Personally 1 thotoughly believe Nebraska will alzo go for McKinley." PUT HIM OFF AT BUFFALO Specinl Car of Candidate Bryan Goes on to Weat Virginia Withe out Mim, HUNTINGTON, W. Va,, Oct. 21.—The pri- vate car, Rambler, in which Hon. W. I Bryan, the democratic presidential cand!- date, making his tour of the country, arrived here“about 8 o'clock tonight. Mr Bryan himself was not a passenger on the car. It brought only the newspaper corre spondents who usually accompany Mr. | Bryan. They had been separated from him at Buftalo and had not been able to con- nect with him after leaving that city. Mr. Bryan's failure to reach here at the time expected was due to a series of unscheduled occurences. In order to make connections it was necessary for the Rambler to leave Buffalo at 11 o'clock last night. Mr. Bryan's meetings in that city kept him so late that it was Impossible for him to leave at that hour and he decided that the car should proceed without him, intending to follow on a later train in the bellef that he could overtake the car at Pittsburg during the forenoon today. When the car | with its load of correspondents reached Pittsburg they discovered that Mr. Bryan had not arrived and that he could not reach that city in time to allow the car to be attached to the regular train on the Ohio River ralirond, which was the only train of the day that would reach Hunt- ington in time to allow Mr. Bryan to make a speech there tomorrow morning. They therefore proceeded on thelr way to Hunt- Ington and at Wheeling learned that Mr. Bryan had concluded to attempt to come to Huntington by way of Columbus, O.. With the expectation of reaching this city early tomorrow morning. At Wheeling ‘Le newspaper correspond- ents were met by a committee of distin- Bulshed West Virginia democrats headed by Colonel John T. McGraw, national com- mitteeman from that state, and Hon. John H. Holt, demotratic candidate for goveérnor. This committee occupied a parlor car of their own and they will accompany Mr. Bryan throughout his West Virginia tour. The fact that Mr. Bryan was expected to cross the state today, though without any intention of making speeches, had ap- parefitly bscome generally known, for the railroad stopping places were fllled with people in their “‘Sunday” clothes who had come out to greet him. There was a large crowd at Wheeling, Sisterville, St. Marys, Parkersburg and indeed at all other points along the line of travel. At many places where the train did not stop, including farm bouses and churches, the people were gath- ered in numbers and waved thelr greetings to the train as it passed by. At many of the stopping points the people were quite incredulous about the absence of Mr. Bryan and some of them insisted on go- ing through his car and making a search for him. There was a general expression of disappointment over his non-appearance. 01l City, Pa., probably expressed as great disappointment over Mr. Bryan's failure to come on the train announced as any other place. The traln reached that city at 4 o'clock this morning and despite the early hour there were several hundred people gathered at the railroad station to welcome bim there. The newspaper correspondents were aroused from thelr slumber by loud calls for Bryan and by vigorous knocking on thae car windows. Those of the corre- spondents who ralsed the sasi and spoke to the crowd were at first not very pleas- antly recelved. The people had gathered there with the idea of getting Mr. Bryan out in order that they might present him with an immense boquet which they had brought to the train. Evidently some of them believed that the statement that he was not aboard was a mere subterfuge to relieve him from golug out to see them. When one of the correspondents said: “We will see that he gets the flowers,” a big man in the crowd responded with one 04 Mr. Bryan's pet interrogations, ‘Whao's we?'" When the train moved out the crowd cheered for Bryan, apparently disposed to ppointment, Th h Pittaburg, PITTSBURG, Oct. 21.—Willlam Jennings Bryan arrived In this clty unannounced this morning over the Pittsburg & Lake Erio road and left for Hyntington, W. Va., at 10:25 via the Panhandle route. Through the failure to connect at this point with his spoclal car, which had been sent from Buf- talo ahead of him, Mr. Bryan was compelled to take m Panhandle traln for Columbus, where he will take a Norfolk & Western tiain for Huntington, arriving about 1 o'clock tomorrow morning. Mr. Bryan's short stay here was not marked by any spe- clal ceremony, owing to the fact that his coming was not known. His presence sgon becarae known, however, and he was called uron at the Monongahela house by a number of local democratic leaders for a soclal chat. The trip from the hotel to the station was mado by street car and upon arrival quite @& crowd had gathered and insisted on a handshake all around. Leaving Plttsburg Mr. Bryan immediately sought his berth In the drawing room of the sleeper, where he rested during the aft- ernoon.

Especial interest at- taches to the current report as it is the last one to be submitted by Rear Admiral Hichborn, tho present chief constructor, who, under the operation of law, will re- tire on March 4 next. The period during which he has held this post has seen greater changes in the navy than any other equal period in its history, the chiet constructor having begun, as he states, forty-five years ago as a government apprentice, employed upon the construction of the Merrimac and Hartford. After epeaking of the old wooden sloops of war, without protection or withe out subdivision and armed with broadsides of smoothbores, he says: How many of those assoclated with the work of this period, looking into the future, would have belteved that during the space represented by the active carcer of one man, wooden ghips of war and salls as a menns of propuislon would have passed, that steel shouid have become the materiai of conatriction, the one propeliing power and electr general agent on shipboaid, that the demands for protection, armament, speed and endurance would have forced the construction of battleships and armored crulsers of dedp displacements of over 10,00 and 15,000 tone and speeds of ten fo twenty-two knots? Which of them would have belleved that within that time the resources of thie country could have been #o developed that when such vessels to be constructed every part £0ing Into them Is American prduction Notable Events of Present Regime. Passing to a briet mention of the more | important matters and measures, with the adoption of which the buresu of construc- tlon and repair has been identified during Admiral Hichborn's incumbency, brief men- tion is made of the work of reconstructing the historic Hartford and the efforts look- Ing to the rehabilitation of the renowned Constitution, the controversy in which the chief constructor prevented useless ex- penditures of the public money for aluminum torpedo toats after legislative au- thority for such construction had been es- | pecially sought and obtained; his consistent advocacy of sheathing; the inclined turrets, known at one time as the Hichborn turret, the principles of which had been adopted by his efforts in the direction of reduction of wood and the fireproofing of euch as re- mained on board ship and the good results accomplishe the encouragement of sub- marine vessels and the important addition of eflicient veszels of this cla to the nevy which has resulted, are touched upon, as are also the effecta of the care and study de- voted to convenlences adding to the creature comforts of both efcers and enlisted men. The report opens ywith the estimates, the | principal items hrll} For preeervation of and repairs to ves- | sels of the navy, §7.000,600; for repairs and improvements of navy yard plants, $520,000; on account of hulls and outfits of vessels and steam machinery heretofore authorized, 21,772,917, The cb*l tor points out the dis- advantage! ich the naval station at Cavite Iabors and quotes a report from the | naval constructor relative to the proposed | site at Olongapo, Subig bay. He withholds recommendation thercon until the question of a permanent naval station in the Philip- pines is definitely settled. Pressing Need for More Dry Docks. BEspecial attention is placed upon the nexd for additional dry docks. The report says There are avallable at the present ti on the east coast of the United St - but nine ‘n\ ernment dry docks of all sizes distributed among seven ports, and of these but one s of sufficlent size to take the battleships. The docking facilities avail- nble are severely taxed under existing T conditions.” This disparity in time of war would be an extremely ter and might result in Keeping slderable portion of our naval strengia ineffective at a critical time.

He says: There are at the present thme, in view of the prosperous conditlon of the ship- bullding Industry and the rumber of naval vessels building and appropriated for, wuf- flelent work to permit the ussignment of portion of the building work to the gov crnment yards, without there being a ques. | tion of the withdrawal or withholding of necessary support and assistance, the main- tenance of which {n a high s(ate of of- flelency 13 unquestionably of national im portance. He polnts out that England {s bullding in her navy yards sixteen battleships and crulsers; France, 17; Germany, 8; Russia, 6, and Italy, 3, in their government yards.

D., Oct. 21.—(Special.)—It I8 likely that the Voters union in this state, which was organized about & year ago, may cut some figure fn the election to be held in November. It is the object of the union, which has an advisory board for the purpose, to select such candidates on the etate tickets, without regard to partisan as- soclation, for which the members will cast thelr ballots he advisory board of this unlon has just held a meeting and it has selected the candidates on the etate tick- ets without any partisan or personal blas, as fe 8aid by the board. The adylsory com- mittee have thought it best to say to the members over the state that from among the following names they must select the stato officers whom they deem to be worthy of confidence and the support of the union. As to the members of congress, the board makes an equal division be- tween the two parties and endorses the election of B. W. Martin and A. E. Lee. It endorses the election of the republican nominee for governor, C. N. Herrled, over the fusion candidate Burre Lien. For leutenant governor both candidates are endorsed. 0. C. Berg, republican candi date for secretary of state, reccived the andorsement of the board, as also John Schamber as state treasurer. The board makes no distinction between the candi- dates for state auditor In the person of .| D. Reeves and F. J. Tracy, and it takes the same course with reference to the candidate for superintendent of public in- struction by endorsing E. E. Collins and Miss M. H. Aasved. For attorney general both Jchn L. Pyle and A. E. Hitchcock stand on an equal footing with the board, and the same s true with David Eastman and Edmund Cook, who are the candidates for commissioner of school and public lands. In the matter of blacklisting the candidatos, ‘the republican party has but one candidate who is not endorsed by the union, and the fusionists, have four. One of the members of the board says that the union has gained strength in many of the ccunties in the state and maintained that the vote would be large. He sald that the union would be eble to cast at least between 2,000 and 3,000 votes this year. In Grant county alone, he sald that there were €00 members in the union that would vote the ticket which had been endorsed by the advisory board. sou DAKO HANNA'S TR Much Good Results from the Visit of he Senator and His Party, YANKTON, 8. D, Oct. 21.—(Spectal.)— Congressman Robert J. Gamble has just returned from a trip over the state with Senators Hanna and Frye and {s much pleased with the results of the trip and of the prospects. He says every town passed through was filled with enthusi- astic, earnest crowds. Semator Hanna spoke at every stdh and was always cheered to the echo. Mr. Gamble, in this ard, spoke particularly of the meeting at Parker, where he sald the meeting was 80 enthuslastic that it could almost have run itself. Every sentiment of Mr. Hanna's was cheered and met by such expressions as “That's right!” “Go on!” Mr. Gamble was on the platform at Andover and heard a little boy ask Mr. Hanna where his clothes with the dollar marks on them were. Mr. Hanna very often referred hu- morously to his horns and hoofs. Most conservative estimates, based upon figures made at each town visited, make the total number who heard Hanna in South Dakota about 70,000 people, and this, too, when ‘the trip was made through the doubtful parts of the state and mainly through sparsely settled districts. Sena- tors Hanna and Frye were intensely pleased with their receptions and republicans were satisfled all along the line. Mr. Gamble, who is a conservative judge, says after the best of facilities of judging and after getting the opinions of leaders from nearly every county In the state, that he would be more surprised at less than he would be at more than 10,000 majority for the republican ticket, from state to legislative.
