ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8.—That particular por- tion of Ilinois known =as “Egypt” was pretty thoroughly canvassed by William | J. Bryan to-day. The principal cities of | eleven southern countles of the State and three of the Congressional districts were visited, and large audiences addressed at | the various stopping places. Fourteen ad- | dresses were made from 7 o'clock In the | morning, when the first speech at Salem was delivered, until the train bearing Mr. | Bryan and his party pulled out of Alton | at nearly midnight. The addresses have | ranged from ten minutes to an hour in| length, and six hours would be a con- servative estimate of the amount of time consumed by Mr. Bryan in actual talk. Southern Illinois was Intensely enthu- | siastic. At every meeting the candidate | was greeted with hearty demonstrations | of affection, and his remarks were ap- | | plauded and cheered everywhere. At one place there was a disposition on the part | of a few boys to cheer his opponent, but | there were no attempts to interfere with his remarks being heard. | W. J. Bryan began to-day’s work with | | | a speech In Salem, Il his birthplace, and was given a warm reception. He talked about an hour near the Courthouse in which his father held court from 1860 to 1572, and where he himself made his first political speech twenty years ago. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Judge William Prentiss of Chicago, and among other things sald: “If the election were held to-day there is no doubt we would have a majority in | the electoral college and on the popular | vote. But the Repubi An managers are now collecting from the monopolies a large campaign fund. They will guy rery vote that can be bought. They \\'lll; coerce eve vote that can be coerced. | { They will intimidate every laboring man who can be intimidated; they will bribe every election judge that can be bribed. They will corrupt every count that can be | corrupted. I don't understand how it is possible for the plain, everyday Republi- can to close his eyes to what iIs going on, when he knows that if he aids these In- fluences to carry the election at this time the same means can be employed to car- other e when those who are porting the Republican ticket to-day will be opposed to the Republican ticket.” The south of Egypt was well represent- ed in Cairo when Bryan arrived there at 10:15 o'clock. There had been excursions from the neighboring towns and villages, | and the result was a lirge crowd to wel- | come the Democratic nominee. He was | driven to a stand crected near the center | of the city. His speech was devoted mz ts, although the question | f a large standing army and the ques- to tru tion of for ¥ Republican party has not fulfilled its promises. It will not do anything of | and lasting advantage to the be people, and the rea- is that it 1s to-day controlled, guided | imperialism each received some | his hands. Among other | said: he manent majority of d directed by organized combined | th, and combined wealth demands | jual rights but spectal privileges, | and every privilege granted by law to these great combinations is taken from people. Whey find that a | few people by operation of law are gain- ing an advantage, you may rest assured | that that advantage is coming from some- | body The trouble is that Govern- | ment gathers a little from each person | and dumps the wholeamount into the laps of a few, and the few receive it in large amounts and you see the evidence of theis prosperity, while the little is collected | from each one and the Republican party is forgetting the man from whom it col- | lects while it takes care of the man who eccives. All over this land are the homes | | of forgotten men, men whose rights are | disregarded, men whose interests are neg- lected because of the demands made by | combined capital. We are not enemies of | honestly acquired wealth. No one who | wants to eat the bread that he earns and to earn the bread that he eats need be afraid of the success of our ticket. The only man who needs to fear is the man who wants to eat the bread tht.tglome- body else earns and wants to eat it with- out paying for it. “More trusts have been organized dur- ing the last three and a half years than in all the previous history of the country, and Mr. Hanna, the dominating factor in mwmm.huummthmj 3 | i | | P —— - —_— A SHORT TIME AGO THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT MADE A DESPERATE APPEAL FOR FUNDS.

He says that in the first place that there are no trusts; 1en next he says that the trust is a good thing, and then he says: ‘Do not be afraid of the trusts; if they are injurious we will take care of them.” 'What a consolation it is to be a Republican and not have to think, Just to feel that you are safe in the arms of Hanna! I believe that you will have to destroy the trusts or they will de- stroy the countr: Jonesboro was the mext stop, and Mr. Bryan spoke at that place for fifteen min- utes. Murplysboro was reached at 3:15 and a half hour's stop made. Mr. Bryan was taken to the Courthouse yard, where there was gathered a large and enthusi- astic crowd of miners, railroad men and farmers. His remarks were directed more to the laboring man than his other speeches of the day. He said: “The people here may be dividéd into three general classes—the laboring men, who work in your shops or In your mines: | the farmers, who work upon the farms, and the people in town, who make thetr living by ministering to the laboring men or the farmers. Every person is inclined to look at public questions from his own standpoint. He reasons from himself out- ward. The head of a trust argues that he must vote the Republican ticket because it is good for him. The financier argues that he must vote the Republican ticket because it is good for him. The men with special privileges by law argue that they must vote the Republican ticket be- cause It is good for them: and if these people have a right to use the ballot to advance their own interests it is imper- tant that the rest of the people consider their welfare. The great mass of the peo- ple can only speak when they vote and if, when they vote, they do not secure re- dress for their grievances, the case Is hopeless and T want you who are farmers or business men or laboring men to ask DEADLY POLITICAL yourselves where your interests and. the interests of your children are in this great contest. If you are a laboring man you believe in the arbitration of differ- ences between labor “and capital. The Democratic party declared for arbitration in 1896; it declares for it again, and I can- not understand how any man who wants Jjustice and believes his cause is just can oppose arbitration as a means to settle differences between corporate capital and the employes of corpcrations. Yet when the laboring man asks for arbitration the answer is a large army. “The laboring man wants rellef from government by injunction. 'Government by Injunction is the means by which a man is deprived of the right of trial by jury in certain cases where the corpora- tlons want to control the employes. The meanest thief that ever stole and the meanest man that ever murdered is énti- tled to trial by jury; then why should 1t be denied to any class? The Republican party has been in control for three and a half years and while you never heard a Republican oppose government by injunc- tion in a public speech the Republican party has not had time to give to labor- ing men relief from this menace to their intérests and to their welfare.” At Percy Mr. Bryan spoke for ten min- utes from a platform erected near the train. There were also short speeches at Red Bud and Waterloo. A flambeau club met Mr. Bryan at Waterloo and escorted him to the stand erected for his accom- modation in a nearby grove of fine trees! He was presented there by W. R. Morri- son, who resides at Waterloo. ST. LOUIS, Oct. $.—At Alton Mr. Bryan spoke to thousands of people. His audi- ence was sald to be the largest ever as- sembled in this eity. The local Demo- cratic leaders, among whom was . Con- gressmdn Jett, occupled seats on a plat- form erected In front of the courthouse, | $ and notwithstanding it was 10 o'clock at night before Mr. Bryan began his speech the audience stood densely packed in a mass that extended so far out that it was impossible for those on the outskirts to hear. Mr. Bryan spoke with his hat on, and some one yelled, ““Take off your hat, like Teddy did.” Mr. Bryan did not, however, comply with this request. He had searcely begun speaking when he found that the bunting and flags on the stand cut off his view of the audience. He promptly tore down the obstruction. This act was variously garded. Some one cried, “Don't down the flag,” others “Tear it down; it is where it ought to be taken down." Mr. Bryan made no reference to these remarks, and when he had concluded the dismantling process sufficiently to answer his purpose he went on with his speech. Speaking of the Republican contention of | good times, Mr. Bryan said: “They tell us that we are loaning money in Europe. All you that are loaning money in Europe hold up vour hands.” Not a hand went up, and he exclaimed: “Then it is they, not we, who are loaning money abroad.” Mr. Bryan spoke for about three-quar- ters of an hour and at the conclusion of the speech returned to St. Louls for the night. ! East St. Louls afforded a unique spec- tacle. when the Bryan traln arrived. There was no general information in that city concerning the time that Mr. Bryan was to reach there, but the announce- ment had been made that Governor Roosevelt would speak there at § o'clock. When Mr. Bryan arrived at 8:15 thc Roosevelt train had ot reached the city and as a consequence many who came to hear him went to greet Mr. Bryan. The people rushed after the Bryan car as it (Eontlnued on 8econd Page.) RIOTS CONTINUE IN PORTO RICO | | —_—— AN JUAN, Porto Rico, Oct. 8.—Four persons, one of them a woman, were killed in another political street riot in Guayamo, which lasted all last night. The rioting started last evening In a cafe, when 2 member of the Federal party shot and severely wounded a Republican. Several of the latter's party friends tried to lynch the Federal, but were prevented by eight Americans. Federals from Arroyo hastened to reinforce the Federals in Guayamo, and a bloody street fight followed. Rioting was kept up during the night, and three men and women were killed, while twenty others, including several policemen, were wounded. streets this morning shooting and shouting and terrorizing the town. The whole district is arming and the police force is utterly unable to cope with the rioters. The parties are about equally divided in numbers. Leaders of the Republicans are urging their followers not to engage in rioting, but the Federals are determined to avenge the San Juan affair, and further bloodshed is expected. The animosity between the adecuonl approaches, and all over the island are evidences that trouble may break out at any moment. Several of these and Republicans is increasing as the time for the will dle.

His decision, or rather that of the Em- press Dowager, will not affect the pur- pose of the United States to initiate ne- gotiations, but there are other powers which are inclined to make his return an essentlal condition to negotiations. With him at Peking it is the bellef of diplo- mats here that there would be no delay in effecting a satisfactory settlement, but with him absent there will be a disposition to pick flaws in credentials of the Chi- nese negotiators and there will be inter- | minable delays. In the interest of early | peace, therefore, it is believed to be high- ly desirable that he should &t once pro- ceed to his capital, but the Emperor is unable to do so, and the Empress Dow- ager has no intention of permitting him to return when she is not even invited to accompany him. Notwithstanding the urgent representa- tions made by this Government through Minister Wu and of the British Govern- ment through the Chinese Minister sta- tioned in London, the imperial Govern- ment has moved its capital further in- land. The news of this movement is con- | tained in an imperial decree handed by Minister Wu to Secretary Hay to-day. This Government will not further re- duce its force in Peking, the 10 men un- | der orders to remain constituting the le- gation guard. The Russian Government, which was first to announce that its lega- tion and troops would proceed to Tientsin, has retained in the capital a strong force | to offset the troops stationed there by Germany, Japan and Great Britain. Rus- | sia is undoubtedly willing to withdraw all | her forces provided the other nations do | | so, and Baron Nishi, the Japanese Min- | ister, has recommended a substantial re- | duction in the Japanese force. But the German troops ate steadily celving reinforcements and have givea unmistakable indication of their inten- tion to winter at Peking. It Is unlikely, | | therefore, that the appeal of the Emperor ! for the withdrawal of foreign troops wiil | be heeded. While the Chinese Government has de- clined to accéde to the request of the powers to resume its seat in Peking it is | continuing its policy of punishing the re- sponsible authors of the outrages. Min- ister Wu has been informed of the degra- | | dation of Viceroy Yu of the province just vacated by the Chinese court, and of his | impeachment because of his anti-foreign | tendencies. The State Department has indicated its desire that action be taken by the Chi- nese Government against General Tung Fuh Siang, who is sald to be assembling | an army apparently for his own protec- | tion. Tung Fuh Siang was one of the prime movers in the anti-foreign crusade, and .officials belleve an example shotid be made of him. Minister Conger has not yet sent to the State Department his list of Chinese whom he thinks should be punished, and until this is received the department will not further communicate with the powers re- | specting this phase of the situation. It is earnes hoped, however, that negu- tiations will be begun as soon as pos- sible as conditions in Southern China are | dangerous and it is feared the viceroys | will not be able to hold the people in check much longer unless negotiations commence. —_—— | WORK OF YEARS WIPED OUT. Boxer Uprising Has Wrought Great Injury to Missionary Work. CHICAGO, Oct. S.—Ir a letter to Miss E. Ward of the Women's Presbyterian Board of Missions Mrs. L. B. Neal, a mis- sionary, says that the Boxer uprising in | China has wrought irreparable Injury to | missionary work in China. The writer | says: | “Can yeu imagine Peking now, and Tungchow, and Paoting-Fu? All those mission premises are gone, utterly de- stroyed, the work of years wiped out, as it were, and the Christians terrified, seat- | tered, robbed of their all and many of them assaulted. Manchuria, Chill and Shantung are alrgady swept clean of all missionaries and the first two of all large mission staticns, while the whole Interior of China is being cleared of foreigners of every description. The sufferings of those | traveling from the inland stations have | been simply terrible, the China Inland Mission being the worst sufferer. | One party of nineteen from Shansi, where Yu Hslen, under whom all. this Boxer up- rising started In Shantung, 1s Governor, | had fifty days of horror in getting from Pingyang to Iiuyt_w." AS ANTI-FOREIGN AS EVER Acts of Chinese Court Make a Farce of Peace Negotiations. BERLIN, Oct. 8.—The somewhat op- timistic view of the Chinese situation which prevailed In Germany last week has been unfavorably affected by the re- ports that the Chinese court has resolved to seffle permanently at Sinanfu, capl- tal of the province of Shensl. This the Berliner Tageblatt regards as “indisput- able evidence that the Chinese court is as anti-forelgn as ever." “The failure of the court to return to Peking,” it says, “makes a farce of the proposed peace negotiations, inasmuch as the Chinese Government could annul the whole procedure at any moment by re- ©pecial Dispatch to The Call. | Consul General Francols arrived at Yu s Emperor to Re- g Will Cause Further Delay in the ment. — voking the credentlals of Prinee Ching and L{ Hung Chang.” Without elaiming any offictal authority for its attitude the Tageblatt comments favorably upon a proposal to declars Em- peror Kwang Su deposed. The Berliner Post considers that the latest news “shows that the Chinese court neither intends to return to Pe- king nor to punish the guilty adequately.” The Boersen Zelitung regards M. Del- casse’s note as “a wedge driven into the recently re-established harmony of the powers.” From its Shanghal correspondent the Frankfurter Zeitung has received the fol- lowing: “The Chinese Telegraph Company, which is immensely rich, wishes to trans- fer its Interests to foreigners, fearing that the property will be seized as indemnity by the powers.” il ainadie DESIGNS ON YUNNAN PROVINCE Actions of the French That Have Provoked Riots. VICTORIA, B. C,, Oect. 3—~Rev. Dy- mond, who reached Hongkong from Yun- nan-Fu, says: “It is an open secret that the French have designs on Yunnan pry ince. They induced a priest by offer a large sum of money to rent a temple, but he was driven out. Recent riots we brought on by a movement of the French nan-Fu in June with twenty-five Frenc men, and on the Chinese mandarin’s monstrating at the illegality of their ear- rying arms the Frenchmen pointed revoi- vers at the heads of the officials. Th affair caused great excitement and finally led to riots. On June 10 the rioters at- tacked the French yamen, and had it not been for a cordon of Chinese soldiers guarding it Francols wouid have been killed. The French engineer's house, a cathedral and some mission buildings were destroyed at that time and some na- | tive Christians killed. The Nagasaki Press announces the death of Bertrand Ragsdale, eldest son of J. W. Ragsdale, United States Consui at Tientsin. The deceased has been alling some time and his lllness was aggravated by hardships he had undergone at Tien- tsin. Chemulpo dispatches give news of the murder of Mr. Bland, employed at an American mine, by twenty-five Koreans from an adjoining mine. ook i SITUATION IS MORE GLOOMY. Von Waldersee Has Not Maintained an Eyen Balance of the Powers. LONDON, Oct. 9.—The Shanghal corre- spondent of the Times, wiring October 7, says: “It is reported that French troops hold Lukochio, on the Luhan Rallway. The Russians and Germans hold the Pei- tang forts and have also taken Tongshan and the Kaiping mines, thus monopoliz- ing the coal supply In North China. It was expected that Count von Waldersea would maintain an even balance between the powers, whereas the actual result of the operations place all the strateglc posi- tions In the hands of other nations. A strong feeling prevalls that the situation is becoming daily more gloomy." “Five thousand Triads,” says & dis- patch to the Daily Teiegraph from Can- ton, dated October 7, “have defeated the imperial troops and occupied several places between Mirs Bay and Deep B: They are now moving southward.
