THEODORE F. MILLER, President, HENRY W. MAXWELL, Vice President. FREDERICK C. COLTON, Vice President, STANLEY W.

HXJSTED. Secretary. TRUSTEES: something that was said yesterday by the Republican candidate for Vice "President. You remember that a few weeks ago when he began his speaking he made fun of our suggestion that 100,000 soldiers constituted a large army and he said: "Are you afraid of an army of 100.000?' And in this state he arranged to have four soldiers rise up in the audience and then told the people that the four soldiers compared with the audience were about the same as the standing army with the people of the United States. Then he put the question: 'Are you of a large "But.

my friends, he has found that that defense will not do. and this morning we have this new defense: 'The increase," in the Army has been made necessary by the war in the Philippines, to which his own" utterances (speaking of myself) and those of his party associates have continually added Now. mark the words, 'the increase in the Army has been made necessary by the war In the "I want to tell you that the President, in his message of December, 1S9S, asked for an army of 100,000. two months before a shot was fired in the Philippine Islands. Now.

does Mr. Roosevelt know that? He ought to know the history of the Republican party and the record of his own administration. And yet hero is a statement that the increased army was made necessary by the war in the Philippines, when the record shows that the President asked for the army two months before there was war in the Philippines, and a Republican House of Representatives passed the bill raising the Army to 100.000. And it did It after the treaty was signed with Spain and before an arm was raised against this country anywhere. My friends, that is the fact in regard to the Army the President asked for.

Bryan Says Imperialism Was Contemplated Before Filipino War Broke Out. "At that time imperialism was in contemplation, for no war had broken out. Did the Republicans then know that war would break out? Did they know that imperialism meant bloodshed? If they did. why do they try to lav the blame upon those who are opposed to an imperial policy? They asked for their large army before there was war, and the onlv way to explain It is that they either knew there would be war under their policy, or else they wanted a large army whether there was war or not."

He Thought This Country More Danger at the Time Than Was Cuba. OF MORE USE AS A CITIZEN, When He Found Republicans Trying to Establish Doctrines That Underlie Empires of the Old World. Charlotte. October 11 William J. Bryan, in his speech here this morning, ran hurriedly over the issues the campaign during the twenty minute stop.

He again defended his declaration that the President of the United States is only a hired man. and said that when any man in a republic reached the conclusion that he had a right to rule, he was very sure to be found wrong himself. He charged the Republican party with defending the trusts and said: "If you like trusts, vote the Republican ticket and then you will get all that you want of them. If you don't like the trusts, you will have to leave the Republican party to get relief." He charged that the Republican party was afraid to destroy the trusts, because the trusts were the chief source of supply in their campaign fund. In this connection he eald "When the trusts gave the Republican party in the last campaign a larger fund than any party had ever had before, do you think that they did It without any expectation of return? Do you think these men gave them that fund without, any idea of return? They need more campaign funds this year than they had in 1S96.

Where would they get them if they promised to destroy the trusts?" Discuesing the increase of the size of the Army, Mr. Bryan asked if there was a man in the audience who had ever written to any public official, asking for an Army of 100.000 One hand went up. A voice in the crowd shouted: "He can't write." The man in the crowd then said that he had never resigned a commission in the Army, and to this Mr. Bryan replied that he had re elgned his commission and that he had done so because he thought this country in more danger at that time than was Cuba. He said that he had volunteered on the day that war was declared and had resigned on the day that the treaty of peace was signed.

He said that when he found the Republican party was trying to establish here the doctrines which underlie the empires of the old world, he could be of more service as a citizen than as a soldier. At Bellevue, Mr. Bryan made a speech of one minute. Battle Creek. October 11 Mr.

Bryan arrived here at 9:20 o'clock this morning. Despite his arduous labors of yesterday he was astir early. He made the first of sixteen speeches on the programme for the day at Hastings, beginning at 7:15 o'clock, and, notwithstanding the early hour, he had a good audience. He was greeted with a shout as he emerged from the sleeper and was sent away with a cheer as he re entered. He talked largely cf imperialism at Hastings, saying that the Filipinos should have their own flag and not OVER MICHAEL (GO'S DEATH Say That They Did Not Know He Was to Be Operated Upon at a Hospital.

WOULD NOT HAVE CONSENTED. Dr. Bogart Declares He Had the Per mission of All Concerned Igo Would Have Died Anyway. Some of the relatives of Michael Igo, a longshoreman who died last Tuesday after noon at the Kings County Hospital while being operated on for intestinal obstruction, seem to believe that they have some, cause for complaint against the attending surgeon, Dr. Arthur Bogart of 139 Seventh avenue.

The complaint came to the Eagle directly from Mrs. Rose Clark, a cousin of Igo, who lives at 98 Warren street, where Igo also lived. Mrs. Clark told an Eagle reporter this morning that Igo's relatives did not give their consent to his removal to. the hospital, aifli that they did not understand that he was to be operated upon, a step which, according to Mrs.

Clark, would have been opposed had the relatives known that It was contemplated. Dr. Bogart expressed a good deal of surprise when he was told of these representations this morning. He said that he had explained to Igo that he was suffering from an intestinal obstruction which made an operation necessary, and that it would he necessary for him to go to a hospital to" have that operation performed. The doctor further says that all of the members ot the family understood that Igo was to he taken to the hospital to be operated upon if that was found necessary, and that Igo himself was entirely satisfied with that ar rangement This version of the case Is supported by Dr.

Stivers of the hospital staff, who went in the ambulance to Igo's houee and took him to the hospital. Dr. Stivers says that no objection was made by Igo's family, when the ambulance came to the house, to his being removed to the hospital. Mrs. Igo seemed greatly agitated by her husband's condition, but she made no objection to his going away; and as to Igo himself, he Indicated his willingness to go to the extent of walking downstairs without aid and getting into the ambulance, despite Dr.

Stivers' advice that he be removed from his room in a stretcher. Inquiry at the hospital and of Dr. Bogart this morning as to the character of Igo'e complaint brought a description of a remarkable physical condition. Dr. Stivers said that it would have been little less than wonderful if the man had survived the yet both Dr.

Bogart and Dr. Stivers declared that the man could hardly have lived twenty four hours, anyway. Dr. Stivers' description of the case was about ae follows: "The man had an obstruction of the large intestine, about six inchee from its extremity. The obstruction was caused by a contraction of the intestine, due to a fibrous growth, the origin of which It was not possible to determine.

When I examined him at hie house his pulse was 130. At the hospital, a further examination showed that It would be necessary to operate immediately and, in order that there should be as little delay as possl of the members of the staff prepared Igo for the operating room, a task, which le usually done by an attendant. The operation was performed by Dr. Bogart, assisted by the house staff, Drs. Jean, Gardiner and myself.

"The condition which we found was extraordinary. Peritonitis had already developed and the man's condition was desperate in tne extreme. It Is unlikely that he would have lived more than a day or so, and it is probable that a collapse, which would have been very quickly followed by death, would have occurred within twelve hours. "The operation was performed in the hope that the trouble might be the result of a SEMINOLE DEBATE RECALLED. Eugene V.

Brevster Gives New Reasons for His Failure to Support William J. Bryan. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: On January 12. 1S19, a great debate in the House of Representatives on, of General Andrew Jackson in the Seminole War began. It lasted twehtyseven days, 'and the questions of conquest, militarism, imperialism, were thoroughly threshed out, the great Henry Clay supporting the anti imperialists.

The following were among the resolutions under discussion: Resolved, That the late seizure of the Spanish posts of Pensacola and St. Carlos de Barrancas in West Florida by the Army of the United States was contrary to the Constitution of the United States. Resolved, That the same committee be instructed to prepare and report a bill prohibiting the march of the Army of the United States, or any corps thereof, Into any foreign territory, without the previous authorization of Congress, except it be in the case of fresh pursuit of a defeated enemy of the United States taking refuge within such foreign territory. The debate fills more than one hundred pages of the sixth volume of Benton's Abridgement (Benton's Thirty Years), and therefore cannot be reviewed here; but suffice is to say that Mr. Clay and his colleagues did not hesitate to unscrupulously distort facts, just as the anti imperialists are doing to day.

Furthermore, their arguments show the same squeamishness in regard to the necessary cruelty of warfare, and the same shortsightedness which is exhibited at present. On February 22 the vote was taken, result ing as follows: Was the seizure of the Spanish posts contrary to the Constitution? It was not! Yeas, 65; nays, 51. Shall a law be drafted forbidding the invasion of foreign territory There shall not! Yeas, 42; nays, 112. General Jackson was sustained on every single point. Jackson's great biographer, Parton, says in Vol.

2, p. 550: "The true explanation, as I think, was this Mr. Clay and his friends contented themselves with sentiment and declamation." On February 24, 1819, Lacock presented to the Senate a lengthy report on Jackson's conduct in Florida. The Senate ordered it to be printed and to lay on the table, by a vote of 31 to 3. Jackson was lauded and lionized by Legislatures and at banquets and receptions all over the country.

The Pennsylvania Legislature approved his conduct by a vote of 56 to 26. He was one of the greatest Democrats and one of the greatest of "Imperialists." Those who are now trying to show that the constitution does not permit of what is called "imperialism" perhaps know more about it than those who framed it and whe lived during our country's infancy, but perhaps the words of Thomas Jefferson might carry some weight. He said. "I am persuaded that no constitution was ever before so well calculated as ours for extensive empire and self government." The Congress which paEsed upon Jackson's "conquest without the consent of the governed" in Florida should, I think, know as much as Mr. Bryan about our constitution, inasmuch as they practically framed it.

or at least were the sons of those who did. and since they were the very first to interpret It. But if Mr. Bryan thinks that their opinions are antl quated he might be willing to listen to what Abraham Lincoln said: "Having practiced the acquisition of territory for nearly sixty years, the question of constitutional. power to do so is no longer an open one with us." At about the same time Douglass said: "I tell you Increase and multiply and expand Is the law of this nation's existence." And to come Join a little nearer to date we may well add th testimony of General Grant, because he had the same band of anti imperialists to wrestle with that Jackson and Lincoln had, and the same that McKinley has to day, and they were all familiar with the cry of "empire, militarism and imperialism," and wen? equally familiar with the cartoons which pictured them as wearing crown and scepter.

Grant said, "I do not share in the apprehension held by many as to the danger of governments becoming weak and destroyed by reason of their extension of territory." I would like to follow Mr. Bryan, as I did in 189S, because I have always been a Democrat, because he has been ray friend, correspondent and guest: because he is honest On Same Day S. S. Haskell Marks 92d and His Wife Her 8 8th Birthday. BOTH STRONG AND HEARTY.

Husband Attends to All His Own Business; Wife Is Well Informed on Current Topics. To day. at the residence of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Clark, 31 Lefferts place, was celebrated the seventy second anniversary of the wedding of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Samuel Spring Haskell, and, incidentally, Mr. Haskell's ninety second and Mrs. Haskell's eighty eighth birthday. Mr. and Mrs.

Haskell live at 642 Herkimer street, in an old fashioned frame house, which was bought by Mr. Haskell years ago, and has been occupied by him since, with but a brief interval, when he lived in Hempstead. An Eagle reporter who called this morning at the Herkimer street home was met by Mrs. Haskell, who came to the door. Her bright face was circled by waving iron gray ringlets, and her whole appearance was that of animation.

She said: "We have been invited to our daughter's for dinner on this anniversary of our marriage, but there is nothing about it more than JS.T. and Mrs. Samuel Spring Haskell, Who To day Celebrate Their 72d Weddlne Anniversary and Mr. Haskell's 92d Birthday. that, and Mr.

Haskell, who is away attending to some business in connection with our property at Hempstead, requested that nothing be said about the celebration. A great deal was said In the Eagle two years ago on the occa tion of our seventieth anniversary, and we are willing to wait for our diamond wedding for another mention like that. The venerable woman in general conversation showed herself conversant with current events and ready in her comments on them. As to Mr. Haskell, she said that he had been away yesterday and all night, superintending certain repairs needed on their property at Hempstead.

"He goes there frequently alone," she said, "by trolley from here to Queens and then by carriage to Hemp3tead. He never thinks of asking company or assistance. His health is all right. When my daughter calls on us he insists on seeing her safely to the cars and returns alone, in spite of her protests. We go regularly to Plymouth Church, of which we have been members for fifty years, and when we lived in Hempstead, where we were for twenty years, until six years ago, we walked a mile and a half to church.

I like Dr. Hillis very much, though his sermons are entirely different from those of Dr. ADDOtt. mere is possibly more poetry and imagery in them, but Dr. Abbott was very thoughtful.

Mr. Haskell and 1 loved Mr. Beecher, who married two of our children. Some other comments on local matters were made by Mrs. Haskell, showing her wonderfully clear mind.

Her husband, she said, transacted all his business himself. His only trouble is a slight deafness. He looked good for many years of life. Mr. Haskell was born in Newburyport in 1S08 ana came to New York when young.

He was first a bookkeeper and was afterward in the business department of the Emancipator, an abolition paper. He then started a bagging factory near the South Ferry and was in this business until thirty years ago, having made money enough to live comfortably. On October 11, 1S2S. he married Miss Eliza Brown, a descendant of a Holland Dutch family. Her male relations were known in the shipping business of New York.

They have two children living, Mrs. Clark of 31 Lefferts place and Benjamin Haskell of Bloomfield, N. J. The grandchildren are Myron H. and William D.

Clark, Frank Leonard and Ledyard Haskell, who are twins, and Morris: Benjamin. Paul Hattie, Reuben and Robert Haskell, with the two latter of whom the venerable couple live; Will ard, Alfred and Irene, the children of Samuel, who is dead, besides four others, Dorothy, Marion. Edgar and Ernest, the children of sons deceased. Besides this, there are three great grandchildren. This evening there was a family reunion, at which as many as possible of the family will be present.

THE CHICAGO INSURANCE PLOT. Remarkable Likeness of the Two Young Women Who Were Involved in the Case. Chicago, October 11 The Tribune to day says: "Irene Spicer was the stenographer whose death took place suddenly on a train bound for California. Officials of the detective agency, who are probing into the insurance plot, think her death came from natural causes. In connection with the Spicer case, Superintendent Soule of the detective agency relates a strange story.

MIbs Spicer, it has been learned, was not only a friend of F. Wayland Brown, but was also an intimate acquaintance of Miss Defen from Albert Lea. Minn. Miss Ethel Johnson, who had acted as stenographer for F. Way land Brown.

Is not dead, as had been reported. Detectives have located the girl at Lockport, where she Is married to a Chicago traveling man. SOLDIER DIES ON SHIPBOARD. Philadelphia, October 11 The big ship Susquehanna, which arrived at the Delaware Breakwater last night and is now on her way to New York, carries a cargo of sugar from the Hawaiian Islands. She made her last trip from New York to San Francisco In 114 days and this, the return voyage, was made in 117 days, which is probably the best on record for a return trip.

During the voyage Abner Armstrong of New York, a United States soldier, returning home from the Philippines, died and was burled at sea. RKfilSTEIt TO MORHOW. mrrw will be tile fl rut dny of rofflMtrntlon. nookN Tvlll be open at nil tlie poIlltiK plneeK from 7 A. M.

FSENCH FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Big Increase in Revenue Nearly Wiped Out by Chinese Credits. Paris, October 11 A financial statement issued to day shows a very satisfactory state of affairs for the exposition year. The revenue for the nine months ending with October yields a surplus of 87,000,000 franca over the estimates and an increase of 65.000,000 francs over the similar period of 1899. This increase is in spite of the fact that the estimates were fixed at 20 000,000 francs above 1899 on account of the expansion of revenue calculated to result from the exposition.

The increase, however, will be nearly all swallowed up by the Chinese credits, which already amount to 70,000,000 francs. But the government counts upon wiping out the latter by the indemnity to be eventually exacted from China. THE COURTS. SUPREME COURT. APPELLATE DIVISION.

AUGUSTUS WHITE, C. D. WOOD. ANT1G0FFEYITES IN A ROW BREAK UP A (HlOi O'Donnell's Promise to Give People a Voice in Naming Candi dates Taken Literally. CROWD'S FAVORITE IGNORED.

Police Sent For and the Gathering Adjourned Till To night When Only Delegates "Will Be Admitted. The Twelfth Ward had an exposition last night of what an open convention should be. It was one of the chief grievances of the anti Coffey people at the recent primaries that he allowed the voters no voice in conventions. Before the opening ot the Ninth Assembly District convention last night Leader William O'Donnell made a speech, in which he assured the people that they should have the fullest opportunity to express the choice of a candidate. The crowd took him at his word evidently, for when the time for nominations came the meeting broke loose.

The convention was held at the usual meeting place of the O'Donnell faction, on tho second story of a saloon building at ths corner of Dikeman and Van Brunt streets. The hall was crowded long before 8 o'clock. It was an hour later when the meeting was called to order, the Interval having been taken up in an effort to arrange matters satisfactorily, but it was hopoless from the start. There were ten delegates and about three hundred outsiders in the room, which was crowded to suffocation. The delegates were seated on two rows of chairs before a round table toward the front end of the hall.

The audience stood upon chairs behind them and kept things interesting from the moment Mr. O'Donnell called for order. ODonnell evidently anticipated trouble, for he made a speech telling everybody that it was one of the promises he and his friends made that as long as they were in power there should be open conventions. Mr. O'Donnell also said that he had not attempted to Influence the choice of the delegates and that he wanted the best man to win.

"I want the delegates and everybody here," he added, "to stand by the ticket." A great shout went up at this. Then Timothy J. Carey asked for nominations for chairman. P. J.

De Cantillon was named and was chosen without trouble. He also made a nica little speech in which he said that he was extremely grateful for the compliment paid He congratulated Mr. O'Donnell on not assuming that his personality was responsible for the victory in the primaries. "The trust committed to our care," added De Cantillon, "ls a great responsibility. It does not entitle us to do what we please.

Let us make the Twelfth Ward what it was before a year ago, the stronghold of the Kings County Democracy. You have started off well and have given the people a candidate fr Senator who needs no apologies." "He's a 'good Irishman, shouts man behind the row of delegates. Mr. De Cantillon added that the office of Assemblyman' was a great and honorable one, and that some of the greatest leaders In both parties, including Chauncey M. Depew, Governor Roosevelt and John B.

Stanchfield had learned oratory in the Assembly chamber. James Finneu was chosen secretary and the temporary officers were made1 permanent. When nominations were called for the fun began. Daniel Duffy was named, and there were shouts for "Gerrity" in the audience. Another delegate named William Fitzpatrick and the shouts were renewed.

No one nominated Gerrity. When it was moved that nominations be closed the audience brok away from all restraint. Most of them mad a rush for the delegates. Chairs were broken and upset. Delegates and candidates tralO Jostled, and the shouting was loud enough raise the roof.

Some one handed Chairman De Cantillon an iron stove poker, and he rapped furiously on the table for order, but the crowd, with its new found liberties, refused to be ruled with any rod of iron, as they had been told Coffey ruled them. Thomas Kline, who was himself talked ol for the nomination, was furious at the failure to name Gerrity. He advanced to Candidate Duffy and shook his fist in the face of the leading candidate. Most of what, he said was not distinguishable, but he concluded: "I'll run myself, independently, and I'll spend all the money I've got and I'll be elected, too." Duffy replied with spirit, but tried to conciliate the raging Kline. "Somebody, nominate Gerrity or there will be trouble," shouted Kline.

Chairman De Cantillon managed to get downBtalrs to send for the police. One or two arrived, but they could not do much, ths crowd was so thick. At this moment, ex Assemblyman James McMahon, who at tho Senate convention the night before declared that Bryan's election would mean the second coming of appeared on tho excited scene. He mounted a chair and harangued tho crowd. Most of hie talk was incoherent, but it was made clear that he; too, wanted tho nomination.

As soon as enough people had been hustled out of tho hall, Timothy J. Corey mounted a chair and announced: "Tho chairman eays the convention is adjourned until to morrow night. Mind you, I don't say bo, for I don't want to get into any trouble." More angry Bhouts arose at this, but tho hall was pretty well cleared by that time and Gerrlty's friends could only tell their troubles to each other' on the sidewalk. Mr. Do Cantillon nnnounced that only delegates would be admitted to tho hall to night and that a cordon of police, If necessary, would be present to keop ordor.

It ls said that Duffy has four of ths tA delegates and FltzpatrKtk bus another tonr. our nag, ana we should, protect them in the possession of their flag. They should be allowed to work out their own destiny, he said, as we desired to be allowed to work 5utonrfc Fo" naiion was good enough to own and govern another nation, as no man was good enough to own and govern another man. The second speech of the morning was made at the little town of Nashville. Mr.

Bryan had only five minutes and he contented Jhimself with suggesting a series of questions to Republicans. These were as follows: "If I the trust is a good thing why did the Re I publican platform denounce trusts?" fl "If the trust is a bad thing why did the Republican administration allow more trusts to be organized than during all the previous 'r history of the country?" "If some trusts are good and some bad can you tell the difference between a good one and a bad one?" "Do you know of any good monopoly in private hands?" "Do you know of any man good enough to stand at the head of a monopoly and determine the price of that which others are to use?" "Do you know of any good reason why the Army should be made "Would you be willing to make the Army 200,000 if the Republican leaders said so, or a half million if they wanted it?" "What is your title to the Filipino? Did you buy him or Slid you get him by force?" "Do you think you can buy the right to govern people?" "What are you going to do with the Filipino when you get him? Are you going to kill him?" DR. CLARK DEFEATED. Noted Pro Boer liberal Loses His Seat. Cromer Report Denied.

London, October 11 On to day's election returns the Liberals scored two gains and the Ministerialists one, making their respective totals of gains 29 and 28. The total number of members elected up to the present is 502, as follows: Ministerialists, 371; Opposition, 221. In Radnorshire (Wales) F. Edwards, Liberal, defeated V. Llellyn, Conservative, and in the Westbury Division of Wiltshire, J.

F. Fuller, Liberal, ousted the sitting member, Colonel G. Chaloner, Conservative. These were the Liberal gains. The Ministerial gain was in the Tyneside Division of Northumberland, where H.

Crawford Smith, Unionist, defeated J. A Pease, Liberal, who had represented the division since 1S92 and who waa a Liberal whip in the last Parliament, Dr. Gavin Brown Clark, the former Consul General of the South African Republic and noted pro Boer Liberal, was badly defeated in Caithnesshire, the Liberal Imperailist candidate, R. L. Harmsworth, winning the seat.

Sir Charles Dilke easily retained his seat for the Forest of Dean Division of Gloucestershire. Officials of the Foreign Office this afternoon said there is absolutely no foundation for the report in circulation here that Viscount Cromer (Kyelyn Baring, the British agent and Consul General in Egypt since 18S3) had been summoned from Egypt to take a seat in the new Cabinet. WILL NOT PAY FRANCHISE TAX. Rochester Corporations Evidently Determined to Follow Course of Big New York Concerns. Rochester, N.

October 11 The Rochester corporations, whose franchises have been taxed by the Ford franchise law, have ap parently decided to follow the policy out lined by: the big corporations in New York City not to pay the state tax. Of the entire city tax from franchises, aggregating $90,101.13, placed on the rolls May 1, only the sum of S85fi.S3 has been received, until the corporations have tested the law in the highest courts. The serious phase that presents itself Is that for an indefinite time this franchise tax, aggregating $90,000 annually, must bo added to a large sum of uncollected taxes which the city is already carrying on its books as "cash assets." Next year the corporations will again refuse to pay the tax for 1901. and another $90,000 will be added, and so on until the final court decision in the case ls renaerea. In ease the Ford law should be declared unconstitutional, the entire amount would fall back on the city.

BIBLE SOCIETY AFFAIRS. Depositories Doing Little Work to Be Abolished. The Rev. Drs. William I.

Haven and John Fox, secretaries of the American Bible Society, to day gave out a statement regarding the results of the conference held yesterday at the Bible House. There are 1,697 local Bible societies in United States, most of them known by their names of counties. They collect funds for the American Bible Society, and they also distribute its publications. In some places offices or stores, known as "de positories," are maintained, where Bibles are a or ore aistriDutea. ing whatever except Bibles, or parts of Bibles, without noto or comment.

borne of these depositories are doing very llttle work, and the conference approved a Z'ToT, ZloultUl Tnis anfl certain other resolutions passed will bo submitted to the American Bible Society at Its next annual meeting in May, 1901. The secretaries say that there was no friction shown between the central society and the auxiliary ooaies, as was lntimatea in a pub lished report. PARIS FAIR FETES. Parade and Ballet on the Seine Exposition to Close November 5. Paris October 11 A series of fetes intended to inject much needed gaiety into the closing days of the exposition was opened this afternoon with a parade and ballet on the River Seine, along the front of the exposition.

The festivity, favored by fine weather, presented a pretty spectacle from the exposition en bankment, which was crowded with visitors. The chief feature of the display was the ballet from "Michael Strogoff," numbering 750 lancers, on a steamer fifty yards long, arranged as a stage and moored at the western end of the exposition. Decorated barges with dancers and others in plcturesquo operatic costumes were also towed up and down the river, within the exposition grounds. Five tickets were charged for one admission. One of the objects of these fetes Ib to get rid of the enormous surplus of tickets by charging several tickets for one admission.

The exposition will close November 5, and out of 65,000,000 tickets issued 15,000,000 are still unused. M. Plcard, the director general of the exposition, has dally been bombarded with letters urging him to organize fetes at an Increased admission. In order to attract visitors a night fete will be given Monday. There will be a great vintage fete Tuosday.

This is expected to he particularly attractive. There will be picturesque allegorical cars and a procession of gayly bedecked guards, trumpeters and grape pickerB, with nymphs and BacchantoB dancing around Bacchus and Si lenus. M. Plcard is also organizing a transport festival, in which all methods of conveyance will be represented the sedan chair, stage coach and omnibus, down to tho automobile. It is predicted that this will be one ot the.

successes of the exposition. "Well, you cannot do that," he Teplied to the last query, "because then you would lose your trade agreement. You have got to let him live if you trade with him. Dead men don't buy things. If he lives is he to be a citizen or a subject? Are you going to have Congressmen from the Philippines and Senators and electors? If not, are you going to have subjects?" "When did you decide that it was wise for us to have half an empire and half republic? When did you decide that a colonial policy was good? Shall we force upon the Porto Ricans, because we have the power, that which we would not bear ourselves? What are you going to do with the Philippine question?" Republicans, Through Assistance of Trusts, Have Even Raised Prices of Bibles, Says Bryan.

At Battle Creek Mr. Bryan spoke in a large park adjoining the Michigan Central depot and had one of the best audiences of successful. But the condition which existed In this case baffled any correction. It was impossible that the man could have lived and the operation itseli was made necessary by the fact that medical treatment had been of no avail. The patient died very soon after the operation was performed.

He was suffering from a fearful shock to the system at the time he was operated upon, his pulse having risen to 140 just before the anaesthetic was administered. But whether he had been operated upon or not I do not se how the man's life could possibly have heeu saved.1 FRENCH ADMIRAL FAILS TO CALL Navy Yard Officers Think Expected Guest "Was Delayed by Ceremonial Visits. Admiral Richard, commander of the Atlantic squadron of the French Navy, who arrived In New York Harbor this week with his flagship, the Cecille, was expected to pay an official call at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to day, and elaborate preparations had been made to receive him, but up to a late hour this afternoon he had not arrived. Commander Clif ford H. West, senior aid to the commandant of the Navy Yard, called on Admiral Richard yesterday.

He went to the Cecille as she lay in the North River off Thirty fourth street. Rear Admiral Albert S. Barker, command ant of the local Navy Yard, was notified this I morning that Admiral Richard expected tc pay him a visit to day, and a detachment ot marines was ordered out for the occasion. I The marines and naval officers waited patient ly all morning for the French admiral to ap pear. It was explained at the Navy Yard that possibly several other official calls took mucn longer tnan ne una expeciea, ana tnat he would call on Commandant Barker late this afternoon.

No French warship has been in New York Harbor since 1892, until the Cecille arrived here the other day. The Cecille Is a cruiser of the second class and was built in La Seyne in 1888. Her armament consists of 6.4 inch quick firing guns, ten 5.5 inch and six 1.8 machine guns and four torpedo tubes. The ship carries 570 men all told. The cruiser.

Is painted black. The Cecille came here from Sydney, Cape Breton, after touching at Martinique. All visitors are welcomed to the French warship. The ship will remain here twelve days, after which she will sail for Chesapeake Bay, where she is to remain until November 22. With the exception of Admiral Richard and Captain Juhel.

none of the officers of the Ceclle has ever been in American waters. Major General John R. Brooke, commander of the Army of the East, received a call from Admiral Richard this morning at his heal quarters on Governor's Island. Captain Juhel and the executive officer accompanied th French Admiral. The officials arrived about 9 o'clock and were accorded a salute.

They remained about half an hour, conversing with Major General Brooke about current topics. The Frenchmen were very much pleased with the appearance ol Governor's Island. Another French man of war Is expected to arrive in New York Harbor to day or tomorrow. She will accompany the Cecille on her cruise. POCKET PICKED ON A CAR.

Though Miss Spicer came to Chicago six years ago the tour. In beginning his speech he declared that the Republican party Is asking for an entire change of our ideas of government without apparently being able or willing to give any reason for wanting such a change. "The Republicans say," Mr.

Bryan continued, "that prosperity is a sufficient response to all inquiries." He declared that the administration party, through its assistance to the trusts, have even raised the price of Bibles, in order that the trust might contribute for its stealings to the Republican campaign fund, and thus secure the right to steal for four years more. Taking up the question of "militarism" Mr. Bryan asserted that the Republican party wanted to turn the people from the arts of peace to the science of war. Discussing our title to the Philippines he said: "They say that It is good in Europe, want a title that is good in the United States. The Declaration of Independence was not good in Europe, but Spain's title to Cuba was good there.

Notwithstanding this ict, we did not regard that title, when we found it proper to interfere in Cuba's struggle for liberty." At Marshall, Mr. Bryan again referred to the necessity for deciding between the policies of the two parties, and among other things sold "If you are satisfied with the principles that the Republican party is applying to public then the Republican party is entitled 'to your support. If you are not satisfied it has no claim on your suffrage, for if you want a party to do well, you must not only be ready to reward it when it is good, but you must be ready to punish it when It is bad." Discussing the question of a colonial policy Mr. Bryan asked: "If a colonial policy is good, what objection can you find to England's policy of 121) years ago?" At Albion Mr. Bryan said: "I want at this time to call attention to candidate for office of a third party that represents the interests of the tollers, and which stands for a system of government pure and beautiful ideal, though perhaps somew hat Impracticable I almost wish I were free to register a whole vote and not a hnlf vote against the programme advocated by Mr.

Bryan, because I am more and more convinced every day of the utter futility and hopelessness of any reform or any real progress promised by or emanating from the party of Bryan, Croker, Tillman. Altgeld, Goebel. McLaughlin, Towne. Teller and Stevenson. The Republican party to day is undoubtedly the party of progress, the party of brains and the party which represents the highest moral and intellectual, attributes known to our nature.

To my mind, it is very clearly the duty of every thoughtful citizen who is not committed to some special reform such as socialism, prohibition, direct Legislation, to vote for the party of Washington, Lincoln and McKinley. EUGENE V. BREWSTER. Brooklyn. October 9.
