Bryan arrived in this city at 2:10 | o'clock this afternoon. He was re- | ceived at the depot by the reception committee of the Iroquols Club and escorted to the Golden Eagle Hotel. In the carriage with Mr. Bryan were Seth Mann, chairman of the Democratic | State Central Committee; T. W. O'Nelll, | chairman of the Democratic County Cen- | | tral Committee, and E. I Woodman, grand sachem of the local Iroquois lodge. Other prominent Democrats who were on hand to meet Mr. Bryan were: J. Dwyer, National committeeman for Call- fornia; Mark R. Plaisted, editor of the Fresno Evening Democrat; Judge Matt F. Johnson, Judge J. W. Hughes, Peter J. Shields, Thomas Fox, E. W. Hale, W. | J. Hassett, D. W. Carmichael, L. H. Gray | and Frank Lyman. | The recep rooms at the hotel were decorated by adies of the decorations committee Mr. Bryan which also had been decorated for the occasion.

The accuracy of this view is proved by the fact of the enemy breaking up into isolated groups, such as that which at- tacked the Guards officers Friday. “The adjustment of financial and muni- cipal matters in the Free State is now chiefly occupying the attention of the Governor and his legal and financial ad- visers. The military regime is being con- ducted with great smoothness, but recent investigations show that caution must be exercised in dealing with persons appa- rently loyal.” This summary is probably an accurate explanation of the frequent appearance and disappearance of Boers and insur- gents upon which the reports are so con- fiicting and which so puzzle the British military critics. General Methuen appears to be await- ing transportation, and with Colonel Plu- mer's forces on half rations there now seems little likelihood of the immediate relief of Mafeking, though neither from this quarter nor from Lord Roberts or General Buller is there any direct news to-day. N The Government buildings at Cape Town narrowly escaped destruction by fire last night. The state papers, after being much | damaged, were removed. | A Lourenzo Marques speclal says the Transvaal authorities are evidently re- cruiting actively, and large numbers of French, Dutch and Belgian volunteers are constantly passing through that place to join she Boer forces. ' PORTUGAL NOT TO BORROW OF ENGLAND | LONDON, March 2.—1t s learned that | Portugal 18 quite prepared to meet the | Delagoa Bay award without borrowing | money. Current reports that Great Brit- | ain intends lending the Portuguese Gov- | ernment money in exchange for privileges at Delagoa Bay and Beira are declared to be incorrect. The British Government had received no intimation in regard to the award to-day and has no information of ! its terms or when they will be announced, | but it hopes to rective this information | during the current week. The same con- | dition of affairs in regard to the award | prevalls at the American embassy, where | the securities of the claimants are depos- ited. On all sides it is said that the long delay in reaching a decision has had a most serious effect on the principle of ar- bitration.

He spoke briefly against trusts, declar- ing that they should be killed, first by and devoted the remainder of the evering to an arraignment of the Republican par- ty for its policy with regard to the Philip- pines. Mr. Bryan spoke of President McKin- | ley’s recommendation to raise the stand- ing army from 25,000 to 100,000 men, and said he had imperialism in view when he made it, inasmuch as there was then no rebelllon in the Philippines. While a standing army of 25,000 men had been suf- | ficient for 70,000,000 people who governed themselves, it was estimated that an army ol 000 would be necessary to hold in sub- jection 10,000,000 people who were to be governed without their consent.

WASHINGTON, March 26.—Sen- ator Perkins to-day secured the passage of his bill providing for the coinage at San Francisco and other United States mints of S-cent and 1-cent pleces. Heretofore coins of such denominations have been minted only at Philadelphia. He also secured the adoption of his bill amending the act relating to fisherfes In Alaska, which puts these fisheries and laws governing them on the same plane as those in Oregon and Washington. The pro- vislons of the bill have the approval of the Treasury Department. » + RS S SRS S SO TO POV OSVOE tion of the Delagoa Bay Rallroad must be attributed to the inability of the Portu- guese Government to “resist the unscrup- ulous pressure exercised by President Kruger.” PARIS, March 27.—The London corre- spondent of the Matin says: ‘‘The Brit- ish Minister at Berne informed the For- eign Office last evening that the delay in the publication of the award in the Delagoa Bay arbitration was due solely to some very slight modification which the tribunal thought it well to make. The decision has not been modified in the slightest detail. It is thought in well- informed circles that the award will be given out on Thursday or Friday.” ALLEGED APOLOGY FOR THE MACRUM AFFAIR Dispatch to The Call, NEW YORK, March 26.—The Journal has this from Washington: Lord Salis- bury has apologized to the United States for the opening by the British censor at Durban of mail addressed to ex-Consul Charles E.

There should be no delusion about the motive in holding the Philippines. There was no desire to educate or con- vert the natives, but to get their trade. Mr. Bryan was surprised to hear preachers praying for the subjection and killing off of the Filipinos, because the doctrine of Jesus had been, he came into the world not to destroy men's lives but to save thelr souls. After the address Mr. Bryan attended a banquet at the Palace Restaurant and left on the midnight train for Portland. 0—04—0—0—0—0"-0—0—0—0—0—04—0—0—0“ STEUNENBERG ATTACKS 1DAHO LABOR UNIONS Says Their Real Policy Is Dominated by Criminals. s B Strong Statements Made by the Chief Executive of the State Testify- ing in the Coeur d’Alene Inquiry. SR WASHINGTON, March 26.—Governor Steunenberg’s cross-examination con- tinued to-day in the Coeur d’Alene inves- tigation before the House Committee on Military Affairs. Representative Sulzer of New York directed the cross-examilna- tion, inquiring how the Governor justified the continuance of martial law. The witness said there had been a con- tinuous state of rebellion in the Coeur d’'Alene districts, and while it did not take the form of armed resistance, there was at ull times opposition to the policy of the State authorities, an effort to thwart them and to bring a renewal of the old condition of affairs. Sulzer pressed for a specification of names and events in this disorder, but the Governor sald it was general in character and specific outbreaks were not likely to occur while the authorities continued to act with firmness. The Governor sald he was not in favor of solitary confinement of prisoners unless they were guilty of some infraction of prison rules. If such imprisonment had occurred, he sald, he was responsible for it, although he did n&l ex’flz\-or it except on the conditions s 5 Vv‘hen asked if he had conferred with the Bunker Hill mine officials and others, with a view to breaking up the labor or- anizations, the Governor said he had not. e added that, In his judgment, the labor organizations in Shoshone existed only In name, their real policy being ‘“‘dominated B B e *9® raised by the St. Louis and Chicago job- bers will first be heard, with the Asso- clated Jobbers of Los Angeles as in- (ergenors, ‘While much evidence on this point will be taken here, the greatest amount of tes- timony will next week be developed at the San Francisco session.

Y., March 26.—Though Mrs. Sarah Kellogg has not obtained a share of Mark Hopkins' millions she made a find in California, where the foundation of his fortune was laid, that is far more precious to her than gold. She welcomed home to-day her son, V. Kellogg, who had been absent for almost thirty-five years. No information about him had come to his family until a month ago. when he was located in Fort Jones, Cal. His mother at once communicated with him. He replied that he was willing to return home, but although he had a gold mins he had no capital with which to work 't or even to purchase a ticket. Mrs. Kel- logg telegraphed a ticket and some money to her son and the two met to-day in her home, 303 East Onondaga street. Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg lived in Fayette- ville at the outbreak of the Civil War. ‘The b t that time was 14 years old. He ran away frem home when 17, came to Syracuse and enlisted in the army. At the close of the war he went West and énrd;\ long time had been given up as ead. Mr. Kellogg, the father, was a cousin of s Kellogg, who married Mark Hop- s, one of the builders of the Union Pa- | ctfic’ Railroad and a maulti-millionaire of the Pacific Slope.

At present we suggest your ordering one of our made-to-order suits and. by _criminals.” hen asked to specify the so-called criminals, the Governor said he did not care to give names. Governor Steunen- berg was asked why he did not resort to the posse comitatus, calling on citizens to ald the Sheriff in maintaining order. He said he did not believe the ordinary procedure was sufficient to deal with the situation. . He was confronted with the crisis, he said, and he acted to the best of his ability and judgment to meet the crisis, although it was possible, he an- swered Sulzer, that he might have erred. Representative Cox of Tennessee asked the Governor why he did not call the citi- zens of ldJolnlns counties to his assist- ance. Governor Steunenberg replied that he had a far better way—to secure Fed- eral ald in the absence of the State tro:p’a in the Philippines. Citizens, if called out, would have gone to the scene in a disor- ganized state, He denied that this was a reflection on the citizens, and said it was his choice as the best remady avail- able. Resents Insinuations. ‘When Cox asked why the Governor ald not send the Lieutenant Governor to rep- resent him at Coeur d'Alene, instead of “that fellow Sinclair,” Governor Steunen- berg took exception to the characteriza- tion of Sinclair. Cox explained that this was merely an insinuation, to which the Governor replied that he was not answer- ing insinuations. He had not chosen the Lieutenant Governor to act, he said, be- cause he (the Governor), and - not the Lieutenant Governor, was the responsible officer, and he chose Sinclair on his own respfln!lbllltg'. Governor Steunenberg said that at pres- ent there were three troops of cavalry, about 200 men, in the Coeur d’'Alene dis- trict. But on December 1 last the troops were withdrawn from guard duty and went into garrison. Troops were no long- er at the mines, and there was no = ade.
