LONDON. July 17. The marquis of Sails
bury laid before the- House of Lords todaj
papers on the subject of arbitration. Ill )
lordship raid that the negotiation * betweet
the United States and Great Britain wen
not compute , but that they are advancing
amicably. On the smaller question ol
Venezuela , regarding which the United
States had assumed an attitude of friend ) ;
protection , dtmcultlcs arose out of the fad
that Venezuela's claim placed two-third !
of the colony of British Guiana subject tc
arbitration. The first thing necessary waite
to ascertain the real facts In regard to th <
controversy from the history of Venezuela
When that had been fully ascertained by th <
commission , in which both countries hai
confidence , he felt that the diplomatic ques
tlonwhich would follow would not be ver ]
difficult of adjustment , but even It the ;
should be. those difficulties would be over
come by arbitration. It had been Impossible
to move faster , owing to the absence of i
full knowledge of the facts In the case. Thi
labor involved would be enormous.
In regard to a general system of arbltra
tlon between the United States and Grea
Britain. Lord Salisbury said there would bi
difficulty in dealing with cases to large as ti
contain issues of a vital character. Afte :
much discussion with the United Statei
upon that point , he thought thai the tend
rncy of the United States was to desin
the rapid and summary decision of a ques
tlon. The British government thought thn
the principle of obligatory arbitration wat
attended with considerable hazard. Prope ;
machinery must be first provided.
In recent years the United States , addei
Lord Salisbury , had evinced a disposition ti
take up the causes ot many South America ]
republics , but this government had no
quarreled with that disposition. Grea
Britain had taken similar Interest In dls
pules regarding the frontiers e > t Sweden
Holland. Belgium and Portugal. In study
Ing the welfare of neighboring peoples 1
is necessary to remember that th
claim of such peoples may pos
Bible become a matter of arbitration
and since that is so. It is necessary to guan
against an obligatory system of arbitration
For these reasons , his lordship said , he hai
approached the question with couslderabl
caution. He felt that In a matter of sue !
buprcme Importance it was necessary to b
careful of every step that he was taking.
Lord Salisbury concluded by saying tha
he had pursued , with the consent of th
United States. a.n unusual coun-e in layin ;
these papers on the table while negotiation
were still proceeding. This hud been don
In order that the best intellects on boll
sides should apply themselves to a matte
affejctiug the welfare of the whole humai
race In such a singular degree , especlall
the good relations with the United Statei
with which It was the deilre of the govern
ment to be on the friendliest terms.
The remarks of the marquis of Salisbur
were greeted with hearty cheers by th
lords.

WASHINGTON , July 17. The correspond
cnce which has passed between the govern
racnts of the United States and Great Britai
rc'Epectlns the establishment of a genera
system of arbitration for the settlement c
any .disputes which might arise between th
countries and also for the settlement b
arbitration of the dispute over the Vcnezue
Ian boundary has been made public in th
shape of an even dozen letters , which hai
been exchanged between Secretary Olnej
Lord Salisbury. Sir Julian Pauncefotc an
Ambassador Bayard. The correspondcnc
is of great interest , as marking a senslbl
cdvance toward the adoption between tb
two English-speaking nations of the prh :
ciple of arbitration as the means of scltlin
disputes between themselves : but the pel
KOIIB who have looked forward with hop
nnd expectation to the speedy conclusion c
the treaties embodying the arbitration prlr
ciplo for the settlement of either or bet
of the great open Issues between the tw
nations arc doomed to disappointment , fc
in the last note one from Secretary Olney t
the British ambassador here , dated withl
a mom1 * past points of most vital natun
not only in the rase of the Venezuelan ques
tlon specifically but of the general arbltrs
tlon proposition as well , were still the sul
ject of discussion , without much cxpcctatio
of an early adjustment.
Notable features of the correspondence ar
the fact that , whereas Mr. Bayard , by IB
stmctlon of Secretary Olney. proposed ne
gotlatlons at "Washington respecting th
Venezuelan boundary dispute. Lord Salisbur
broadened It into a general arbitratlo
scheme following a lead set by the lat
Secretary Gresham In the spring of 1895 , ths
Secretary Olney Insisted upun dlsassociattn
the two subjects , evidently fearing an ei
tangling alliance otherwise ; that , as to ger
sral arbitration , the Issues whU-h jilll prevei
on agroe-ment are the Indisposition of tli
British government to include tcrrltorli
disputes save with the adoption nf provision
that in the estimation of Secretary Olne
will render the attempt itt arbitration nupj
lory , because there are no means of makln
the findings ot the arbitrators binding upo
the parties or of removing them from th
possibility of Infinite appeals. As to th
Venezuelan matter , specifically , the difficult
that cannot be overcome Is the. refusal c
the British to submit to the action of arb
trutlon the territory upon which lirttU
EUbjectt ) have actually .settled.

BAYABD'S OPENING ,
The corrcbpondencc proper begins wit
a note d&ted February " 7 last from Mi
Bayard to the marquis of Salisbury , 1
which he says that "In order to re'aeh

R-J-y to refer Lord fa ut nry adld 11 ,
It t a acaln bttu Iroucit into promlne-u
by the controversy which had arisen upon
the Venezuelan boundary. This diverted
the dUcusslon to the general arbitration
proposition , and upon the latter Lord Salis
bury proceeded to discourse as follows :
"The obstacle which separated them ( the
two governments ) has been the difficulty of
deriding how far the undertaking to refer
all matters In dispute Is to be carried. On
both tides U it admitted that some exceptions
must be made. Neither government Is willIng -
Ing to accept arbitration upon which the
Icsue of national honor or Integrity Is In
volved. But In the wide region that lie *
within this boundary the United States de
sires to go further than Great Britain. For
the view entertained by her majesty's gov
ernment there Is this consideration to be
pleeded , that a system of arbitration Is an
entirely novel arrangement and therefore
the conditions under which it should be
adopted are not likely to be ascertained an
tecedently. The limits ultimately adopted
must be determined by experiment. In the
Interests of the Idea and of the pacific re
sults which are expected from It. H would
be wise to commence with a modest begin
ning and not lo hazard ihe success ot the
principle by adventuring it upon doubtful
ground. "
FIRST DIFFICULTY. .
Lord Salisbury argues that while there Is
no difficulty In finding Impartial arbitrator !
to adjust private disputes , or cases Involving
claims for damages , cases involving claim :
to territory or sovereign rights stand or
an entirely different footing and are cal'
culated.to Involve deeply the sympathies ol
men on one side or the other , and lhat thi !
Interferes most formidably with the clectlor
of an impartial arbitrator.
Says Lord Salisbury In conclusion : "Th (
plan which Is suggested In the appendee
treaty would give a court of appeal fron
the single voice of the foreign judge. It !
operation in arresting a faulty or doubtfu
judgmenl would make It possible to submli
great Issues to arbitration without the rlsV
of a disastrous miscarriage of justice. "
The draft treaty spoken of in the above li
composed ot six articles. The first provide !
for the appointment by the United States
and Great Britain of two or .more permaneni
judicial officers , one of whom Is to be deslg *
natcd by his own nation to tct as an arbl
trator to act with one named by the othei
Bide on the appearance of any difference
between the two powers which cannot be
settled by negotiallons.
The second article provides for Ihe se
lecting by the two arbitralors of an umpire
lo act between them.
The remainder of the draft is as follows :
Complaints mode by the natlomils of on <
power against the ollicrs of others ; nil pp
cunlary claims or groups of claims amount
Ing to not more than Udfl.WO made on elthei
power by the nationals of the other , whethei
liascd on allege-d right bv treaty or agree
ment or otherwise ; all claims for damagei
or Indemnity under the said amount ; nl
questions afte-cting diplomatic or eonsulin
privileges , ( ind all alleged rights of fishery
a cress , navigation , or commercial privl
leges , and all questions referred by suel
agreement between the two partlt-s slial
be referred to arbitration , in accordant
ivlth this treaty , and the award thcreoi
shall be final.
COURT OF APPEAL.
4. Any difference In respect to n ques
tlon of fact , or of International law. In <
volvinc the territory , territorial rights , sov
erelgnty or Jurisdiction of either power , 01
any pecunlnrv claim of group of claims o :
any kind. Involving n sum larcer than 100 , .
( WO. shall be referred to arbitration undei
this tre-aty. But if In any such casewlthlr
three months after the award shall have
been made either party protests that the
award is erroneous In respect to some Is
sue of fact or some issue of inte-rnationa
law. the award shall be reviewed by i
court composed of three of the Judges o :
the supreme court of Great Britain ane
three of the judges of the supreme cour
of the United States , and if the said cour
shall determine after hearing the ease , bj
a majority of not less than five to one. tha
the said Issue has been rlKhtly determined
the award shall stand and be final : but. ir
default of such determination , it shall no :
be valid. If no protest Is entered by eithei
party against the award within the tim <
limit. It shall be flnal.
r. Any difference which. In the judcmen
of either power , materially affects its honoi
or the Integrity of Its territory shall no
be referred to arbitration under this treaty
except by sueclal agreement.
C. Any difference whatever , by ngrcemen
between the two powers , may be refenee
foi decision by arbitration , as herein pro
vided , with the stipulation thai , unless ac
cepted by both powers , the de'clslon shal
not be valid.
Secretary Olney begins his response b ;
dlrecllng altentlon to the fact that Lori
Salisbury. In terms , excludes from considera
tion the Venezuelan boundary dispute , bu
nevertheless , declares that these proposal !
of her majesty's prime minister are wel
corned by the president with the keenes
appreciation of their value and of the en
lightened and progressive spiril which an
imales them. The secrelary says that i
Lord Salisbury had slopped In article Hi m
crlllclsm could have been made except tha
Ihe subjects to be arbitrated are si
cautiously restricted as to hardly cove :
other than controversies such as , betweei
civilized states , could almost never endangei
their future relations. But article ill. ai
well as article iv. Is apparently qualified b ]
article v , since the national honor mai
sometimes be involved , even In a claim foi
indemnity by an individual. Further thi
arbitration machinery provided by article li
is open to serious objection , as not secur
ing an end of a controversy unless an aware
is concurred in by at least five out of thi
six appellate arbitrators.
Therefore , by direction of the president
Secretary Olney proposes a substitute to :
articles Iv and v , the change being provision !
that either congress or Parliament , at an ;
time before ihe arbitral tribunal shall havi
convened , may by act. withdraw particula :
subject matter from arbitration , as Involv
ing the national honor or integrity , am
providing further that the award shall hi
flnal if concurred in by all the arbitrators
If assented by a majority only , the awan
shall be flnal. unless one of the panic
within three months from its promulgatloi
shall protest In writing that the award 1
erroneous In respect to some issue of facer
or law. In such case the award shall hi
reviewed by a court , composed of threi
United States supreme justices and thrci
British supreme justirfd. who shall. In ad
vance , agree upon three Impartial jurists ti
be added to their body , in case they shal
be equally divided on an award. The awan
of this court , whether unanimous or b ;
majority vote , hhall be final.
Secretary Olney points out in support o
his amendments that they make all dis
putes prlma facie arbitralable. Ho showi
that the awards. If unanimous , should bi
final equally with those of the appclluti
tribunal.
There can be no arbitration In a trui
sense , says Mr. Olney , without a fine
award , and It might be better lo leavi
controversies to the usual mode of settle
meiit than to enter upon proceedings whlcl
ore arbitral only In name and which an
likely to have no other result than to ex
cite and exasperate public feeling in boll
countries.
SUGGESTS VENEZUELA.
In conclusion. Secrelary Olney sayr : "I
only remains to observe that If article Iv
as amended , should prove acceptable , m
reason IK perceived why the pending Venezuelan
ezuelan Iwundary dispute should not bi
brought within the treaty by express wordi
of Inclusion. If. uowovtr , no treaty foi
general arbitration can now be cxpocte d , I
ennnot be proper to add that the Ven
riuflau boundary dispute teems to offci
a good oj portunity fc > r ore ot tboto tcnta
tlvo cxrwiincnts at arbitration which , a :
Lord Salisbury Justly intimate * , would bi
of decided advantage as tending to Indicate
the lineon which a scheme for genera
arbitration can be Judle-iously drawn. "

HAVANA , July 17. Private advices give
an entirely different account of the deatl
of Jose Maceo , the Insurgent leader , fron
the versions which have hcrelofore beet
given out. According to this story , aftet
the insurgent colonel , Cartagena , had beet
killed In the engagement in Ihe Gate hills
Maceo , with his staff and escort , put him'
self at the head of the forces and led In i
dash by which he hoped to surprise thi
Spaniards. He had , however , made a serl
ous miscalculation and found himself con
fronted by a strong force In a superior posl
tlon. Seeing his error and hoping to CS'
cape , Maceo shouted to his followers
"Back. Let us retreat. There are toe
many for us. "
As he utlered Ihe last word a rifle bal
struck him In the back of the neck unc
passed Ihrough his head , emerging beiweei
the eyes. The volley thai killed Jose MaCee
also slew his friend. Dr. Peructo Echnvarria
and several members of hie Etaff.
On the other hand , reports received fron

of Jose Maceo was due to orders given bj

KANSAS CITY , July 17. William J-
Bryan , the democratic presidential nominee ,
with his wife and family , resumed the Jour
ney to Lincoln. Xeb. , this morning , leaving
the city over the Burlington rood on the
regular 10:40 : passenger train.
They breakfasted privately at the hotel at
9:30. During the passage tend from the dinIng -
Ing room Mr. Bryan was Intercepted by sev
eral reporters who sought Interviews. " 1 doi.'t
wish to be Interviewed on any question
involving religion , " he finally said In an
swer to several questions , adding : " 1 will
say all 1 have to say about that face to
face with the people. "
The party reached the depot at 10:5. and
was Immediately swallowed up In a big
crowd that Jumped through windows and
knocked down policemen in their eagerness
to see the distinguished guests. As the
tiurllngton train came in the wowd surged
and struggled. Mr. Bryan became separated
from his family. The children were fright
ened. Mr. tiryan finally , pushing his way
through , escorted by several policemen.
"Speech ! Sp ° ch" "There he Is ! " yelled
the crowd , which seemed to lose its aggre
gated mind. Mr. Bryan leaned out ol the
tar window and sheiok hands with the
crowd , which fought for his haml. Just be
fore the train pulled out Mr. Bryan came
out on the rear platform.
"Fellow citizens. " said he , "we are now-
going west. With your kind assistance , we
will "start east in the spring. "
Then the train pulled out , amid the cheerIng -
Ing of hundreds of wildly enthusiastic men
and women.
ST JOSEPH. July IT. At every station
between Kansas City and St. Joseph crowds
cheered the nominee. At each place Mr.
Bryan shook hands with the people. It was
12-30 o'clock when the train reached M. .
Joseph where between C.OOO and 7,000 people
were at the railway station to meet the
train bearing the free silver orator , \\ben

platform that had been erected for the
candidate to speak from. The crowd
cheered with a marvelous enthusiasm. Every
telegraph pole , railway train , building and
elevation of any sort was crowded witn
people anxious to see and hear Mr. Bryan
speak. Upon being introduced Mr. Bryan
said :
Ladles nnd Gentlemen : 1 believe this Is a
larger crowd than we had when we hart
here last November. I
our Fllve-r meeting
know not whether to regard it as an evi
dence that e-uriosity has Increased or as
an evidence that the silver cause has grawn
since last November. ( Applause. ) I have
nnd the Interest
been very much gratified to
est which the peop'.e are taking In this
campaign. I am not vain enough to as
sume that these demonstrations are in
tended as a personal compliment. ( A voice :
" 1'es , the > y arel" )
KESPDCT FOn GOVERNMENT.
They are rather an Indication of that
respect thai we find 1n the hearts of the
American people for our government and
those who for the time being stand as the
representatives of our government nnd
those who aspire to positions of prominence
in the administration of that government
I say it is a slim of that respe-ct for gov
ernment and , mV friends , whenever J think
of government I think of the words of An
drew Jackson , thnt there are no necessary
evils in government ; that its evils exist
only in its abuses. Government , when It is
what It ought to bewhen it is what the
people desire that it should be. Is a bless-
int ; without alloy , and it Is our duty as
citizens to compel the love of our govern
ment by every citizen by making the gov
ernment so peed that the people will not
only love It , but will be willing to lay
down their lives that it may be perpetuated
to posterity. ( A-plnuEe. ) Whtn we de
clare against some law as unjust , when
we criticipe a policy , it must not be con
sidered as an attack upon the govern
ment , and yet there are some who would
denounce every person who seeks to reform
anel every person who Peeks to change n
bad custom. I say there are those who
would denounce everv one such as an agitator
tater or disturber of the public peace. I
notice- there were several platforms in some
of our states which declared against the
agitation of the money question. Why , the
man who denounces aeitalion denounces
the prine-iple-s that underlie our form of
government unc ] the only metheid of re-
elress left to a free people. ( Gre-al ap-
pL-iuse. ) Agitation is the only means by
w'llch policies can be brought before the
people , and when people denounce agita
tion upon any subject they must remem
ber that agitation has its cause , and the
cause Is In an abuse , and the only way
to remove the agitation Is to remove the
abuse and give the people no Just cause
for complaint. This acltation of the money
question arlse-s out of a vicious system of
finance that has not had In view the wel
fare of the preut mass of the people , a
system of finance which has allowed u few
to cain an unjust advantage over the many ,
and the result of uritalion is to re'store
the gold and silver coinage of the e-onstl-
tulion nnd to place silver by the Mde of
gold ns one of the money metals of this
country. ( Great applause. )
NOT TALKING POLITICS.
But I i'.m not here to dlscuFK political
questions. It Is nurd to talk at this time
without touching upon that subje-ct whlc-h
Is uppermost in the minds of our citizens
and I elefire simply on this occasion to ex
press the gratification which I feel In the
presence of so large a numbtr of pe-opie
and to leave with you thnt iidvlce which
I fe-e-1 it is the elutv of each of us to leave
with every other , the ndvice that the people
ple , not 11 few , bear the responsibilities
which rest upon citizens. The ottlc-e to
which I ai-pire is an office which e-urrien
with It great responsibllltle-s. 1 re-allze it
find yet not those who hold office alone
beiir re'sponslhllllfe-s. Every citizen In a
nation like this hns a responsible poM-
tlon. and if our citizens would but study
their government. If they would but study
the Issues and thc-n pa forth to elo their
duty , each one determined to make himself
worthy of that Kre-atent of nil names , an
American citizen , the responsibilities Of
those who Ftand in ntnclal positions would
be redue-ed , because they would have back
of them pc-oplei wno would second e-very
good effort , unel criticise when the official
goes wrong as well us commend when he
does well. 1 know not what will be the
result of this campaign. It re-Bts with
you , but I want to assure you ihut If by
vour suffrage 1 am elevated to the highest
honor within the gift of man 1 shall be
ns anxious that you criticise me if I go
astray from duty cs I nm thnt you shall
stand by me when I give expression to
the wishes of the common people of ihe
United States. ( Great applause and cheerIng -
Ing )
When the speech ended Mr. Bryan shook
hands with a large number of the assembled
citizens , while the Bu Joseph band played
"The Star Spangled Banner. "
AB the train pulled out there was another
shout end a waving of handkerchiefs , halt
and dags. When the train stopped at the
water tank. Just north of St. Joteph. a thou
sand people , who on account of the crush
had not been able to fet near enough to hear
him speak at the depot , were loudly calling
for the candidate to come out and address
them. There was not time enough for a
tpeech and Mr. Bryan satlbfied them by
shaking bands with all who were within
reach of the plutfonn ot the car.

The train only stopped at Ilulo a minute ,
so it was Impossible tor Mr. Bryan to make

crcss. e >
The next stop was at Falls City , where
the entire population and a large number
of farmers Irom the surrounding country had
assembled to welcome Mr. Bryan home.
The depot was Oe-corate-d with flags nnd
bunting. In response to the cheers of his
fellow citizens , Mr. Bryan said :
"Ladles and Gentlemen : ll Is exceedingly
gratifying to be received In this way when
I return to the ctatc that has given me
heretofore all of the political honors that 1
have cnjoyert , and of all the counties In this
state none has been moie loyal than Rich-
erdson county. ( Gieat applause. ) Whci1
we crossed the river at Flulo we found Rule
decorated , and it they did not meet me
with as many people as jou have , it Is be
cause they did not have as many In town.
( Great applaute. ) During both of my cam
paigns for congress this county gave me a
majority , and I trust it will treat me the
same way at the end of this campaign , with
the grandest platform upon which a can
didate has run in recent ye-ars. ( Great ap
plause and cheering. ) I am greatly obliged
to you , and 1 hope I may hereafter have
an opportunity of taking you all by the
hand and expressing the gratitude which 1
feel. I am particularly grateful fen this
demonstration , for we have on board the
train a number of special correspondents
for the eastern papers and I want ihem lo
see you and look In your faces and carry
back word lhat you can be trusled with the
government of the country. ( Great ap
plause. ) I want them to look into the
faces of as honest and patriollc t , people
as can be found in any part of the world ,
and know that you and all the people scat
tered over this nation can be trusted to
govern this nation withoul waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nallon. ( Ap
plause and long and continued cheering. )
TABLE ROCK'S "WELCOME.
The depot at. Table Hock , like the others
along the route to Lincoln , was draped with
flags and bunting and banners -welcome
to Mr. Bryan. Several hundreds of people
were at the depot to welcome him. Upon
being introduced to the crowd , Mr. Brvan
said :
Ladles nnd Gentlemen : I hardly know

the enthusiasts who have been Joyni dur

deared to me by lies of personal frlc-nd-
shlp , but I hard'y expected lhat from the
time we crosse-el the river and struck Ne
braska at Hulo and up to this poiiu that
Ihere would be such miuiife-slullons of gratl-
Mention. I came to Nebraska a young
man. knowing none of you. I came ami

has treated me. If I have been able tc

have received in party lifeI owe to these

from you and Just as I came to you nlni
years ago. n private citizen , who will fight

you that from my heart I thank you for

LINCOLN' , July 17. { Special Telegram. )
The drmocratlc presidential candidate. Wil
liam Jennings llryan , arrived home tonight ,
one hour and fifteen minutes ; bill 1ml time.
Over an hour the cro\\J had he-en shitting
to an fro between the Burlington drjiot
and up town. While It was waiting It blew ;
tin horns and speculated on the i > roliabllltlc8
or Mr. Bryan's making ten minute speeches
nt every small town between here and
Kanscs City. That he did so Is attested by
the ( net that this reason was ntiallj
signed for the delay.
When he nrrhcd at T o'clorl : there wa
quite a crowd nt the Burlington depot. It
was by no means BO large us had been cx-
pwted. In fact , the two days1 rumors of
special excursion trains and great throngs
of people from adjoining states turned out
to be extremely mythical.
Mr. Bryan arrived in the rear coach of a
long train. the coach being almost
filled with floral offerings with
which It bad been bombarded along
the road. Then the crowd would not let
lilm get off the car for flftieii minutes. They
did not yell for a speech , for It had been
given out that no speech would be per
mitted. They simply blew tin horns and
yelled. The train was backed down n block
and he escaped by way of O street , accom
panied by Mayor Graham In the carriage.
Then It rained. Since G o'elock a Scotch
mist hag hung In the air , and at one time
It looked ns though the parade would have
to be abandoned.
SALUTED AS PRESIDENT.
While he was being driven to his residence.
1GU5 D street , the presidential salute of
twenty-one guns was fired by A. J. Angleton ,
burning twenty-one pounds of powder la
the operation.
From the time Mr. Bryan and his family
left Kansas City until they reached home
there w-as a continuous ovation. At Kan
sas City Judge 0. M. Spencer1 , counsel for
the Burlington road , had his private car
attached to the train. He was accompanied
by bis wife and a bright baby boy and they
did much to make It pleatant for the free
silver nominee and his fumlly.
The fcce"of Lincoln wears one vast
smile Irradiated by thousands of yards of
bunting. Never was personal liking ,
regardless of bitter party hostilities ,
so splendidly and so generously
manifested by the fellow townsmen
of any presidential candidate.
By noontime the decorations were all In
place , the national colors waving from every
building of any pretension and even painted
In the form of thousands of flags ou the
principal sidewalks of the city. Every ve
hicle , from delivery wagons to hacks and
omnlbusses , was wreathed Intup stars and
stripes , By. 3 .p. ra.n _ coucgurscqf citizens
and visiting slght-see're was oh the streets.
"Visitors were astonished and delighted -with
the gala appearance of the residence portion
tion of the city and somewhat confused ( is
to existing party lines , owing to the fact
that every other house In Lincoln was gayly
decorated in honor of the free silver candi
date. The interior of the state house was
handsomely decorated Thursday and Prl-
dev afternoons by a laree force of workmen
and a committee of ladies. The felling of
the rotunda , was encircled by an octagon
frame of incandesce nt lights , which jocose
republicans and sound money democrats
took to be the illustration of the "crown of
thorns" referred to by the Illustrious nom
inee. Columns were wrapped In bunting
end openings of corridors hung with por-
tlcrres in the colors of Old Glory. It was
the very acme of a triumphant home-coming
that the state house bhould be even for a
day glvrn over to the reception of a single
son of the soil , and that son no member of
the political party in control of the cap-
Hoi.
WENT OUT TO MEET HIM.
While the various committees were work
ing out the final details , a part of the ex
ecutive and reception committees departed
for Table Rock. In accordance with the pro
gram , to meet and welcome the young nom
inee and family. Shortly before 5:45 : , a
crowd filled the Burlington depot at the
foot of P street , overflowing Into the ad
jacent streets and right-of-way , but it was
nearly 7 p. m. when the long expected
train pulled In , and the classic features of
William Jennings Bryan were descried on
the platform of a Pullman sleeper. A wild
yell rent the air as he stepped down and
assisted Mrs. Bryan to alight ; the. cheers
he acknowledged by smiling bows to right
and left , but in spite of the crush and
tumult , \vas hurried directly Into n watting
carriage by the accompanying members o
the reception committee. The nominee was
then driven rapidly to his home. 1C2I" D
street , following the sudjoiued route , which
was lined by thousands , waving and voicing
one universal welcome : up ] ' street to Ninth ;
south on Ninth to O. east on 0 to Fifteenth ;
south on Fifteenth to K ; east on K to
Seventeenth , and thence soqtl ! on Seven
teenth to D.
Both the nominee and Mrs. Bryan were
kept busy acknowledging the plaudits of the
mull it tide , and reposed at last beneath their
own vlue and fig tlee. with audible signs of
relief. H was n quiet but happy llttlo
family part > thnt dined three-quarters of nn
hour later in the pretty dining room , which
saw the Bryans en.famllle . around the
modest mahogany for the fim time ulnco
that eventful Friday one week ago. But by
7:30 : Mr. Bryan was being whirled city
wards again by rat-tubers of the parade com-
mltu-e. who ret him down In the parlors ot
