twenty minutes , ono hour and ten minutes

evening speech , arrived on tlio afternoon

Ho epoke to a crowded house for two hours
In the evening , specifically answering Bryan.
The popocrato had attemoted to draw from

John W. Long presented W. J , Bryan , who

DEMOCRAT LEAVES THE CAMP
Member of Party Unnhic to Eiulorae
Ilolcoiiili in OnMed from Meeting ;
and ItCHcntn Treatment.
AUBURN. Neb. , Nov. L ( spC5i.il. ) The
following letter has been sent to the editor
of a local republican paper by a person who ,
for the last eighteen years , has never voted
anything but the democratic ticket :
HOWE , Neb . Oct. 31To tne Editor :
With jour permission 1 would like to de
scribe nn occurrence nt HoweNeb. , on the
afternoon of October 28 nt the "Coin" Har
vey meeting. At the CQnclU'Ion of Mr , Har
vey's speech he1 asked all democrats , popu
lists and silver republicans to remain in the j
room to a secret business meetlne. As I
I have always v oted Iho democratic ticket I
I thoupht I was a democrat , but"thinks tel
J l Mr , Harvey , I was led to believe I was mis- j
taken , and was Informed I was a political j
outlaw.
Mr. Harvcj , who conducts his meetings on
the Methodist plan'asked all who were KO-
Ing to vote for Holcomb to stand up Not
expecting to vote- for "House Rent SII re- '
malneil , in my seat , whereupon I. was nsked
by Mr. Harvey to give my reasons.kWhlclu !
did Then I was instructed by Mr. Harvev1
to- leave the room as I was oiot wanted
there , Which 1 did also , after explalrllpc to
Mr. Harvey that after votlntr the dem
ocratic ti-cket all my Ufo it was the. first
j i time I was ever told to leave a meeting of
that kind.
Now , If mv populist friends are so sincere
In having a. fair political fight , why all these
McCarty-Harvey secret meetings ? And why
eo free to oust anyone who will not vote the
entire ticket ? We have > heard that the
democratic party In Nebraska has swal
lowed the populist party , but this Is a mis
take : it is the populists that have swallowed
the democrats , and vvhoever cannot toe as
similated easily is cast out.
This Is my advice to democrats. Be a
middle-of-the-road democrat ; when you go
to the polls vote for all the democrats and
scratch all the populists from the head to
the tall of the llckel. Give them the power
nnd If you do not vote to suit them without
question. Holcomb and all , you will bo un
ceremoniously kicked out.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 1. The annual TO *
port of the adjutant ncncral ol the army ,
Brigadier Oenornl Corhln , to the secretary
of war was made public today. Aside from
the strictly technical realtnl of all the de
tails of n busy year In military Ufa the re
port gives much Interesting information of
a general character rind submits numerous
recommendations for the betterment of the
service.
General Corbln sums up the military
forces BOW In the service of the United
States -as : Regular army , 64,580 ; volun
teers , 34,574 ; total , 09,100. The regular es
tablishment consists of ten regiments Of
cavalry , seven of artillery and tvvcnty-flvb
of Infantry. The volunteer establishment
consists of ono regiment of cavalry , twenty-
four of Infantry and a Porto Rico battalion.
The distribution of thcso troops up to
October 1 was ns follows : In the United
States , 31,229 ; Porto lllco , 3,303 ; Cuba , 11-
187 ; . Philippines , 32,315 ; cnrouto to the
Philippines , 17,099 ; Alaska , 199 ; Hawaiian
Islands , 466.
General Corbln adds the following to the
summary : "It Is understood that by De
cember 1 next all the Infantry regiments
of the United States volunteers shown above
as in the United States will bavo sailed
for the Phlllpplno Islands. These , with the
troops now there will glvo n total strength
of 2,117 officera and 03,608 enlisted men , an
aggregate of 05,725. "
The service of many of the troops after
their enlistments had expired causes Gen
eral Corbln to say In his report ;
"The patriotism of the regulars and vol
untcers who enlisted only for the war with
Spain by willingly and actively serving
after the expiration of their terms of service
calls for evidence of appreciation on the
part of the depoitment. To this end It Is
respectfully recommended that each officer
of the several volunteer organizations and
each enlisted man who continued in service
in the Philippine islands after March 2 ,
1898 , until honorably discharged be awarded
a suitably Inscribed medal. "
General Corbln pays a tribute to the of
ficers of the new Colored regiments drawn
from the non-commlEsloncd officers of the
colored regiments of the regular army ci
of those who saw sen Ice In the war -with
Spain and says it IB believed the best
equipped men of our coloicd citizens have
been commissioned.
During the year there have been 62,175
enlistments and re-enlistments , of which
63,02-1 were native born and 0,151 foreign
born. In point rf color , 56,161 were white-
0,000 colored and twenty Indians.
E3. < in Pay fur OlUccrn.
The following recommendation Is made
for extra pay for officers senlng in our
new possessions : "The pay of all officers
below the grade cf brigadier general should
bo increased at least 33V& per cent -while
on duty In Cuba or our new possessions
Most of thoae gentlemen have families thai
they are unable to have with them and arc
therefore compelled to maintain * two es
tabllshments. Also , that provision be made
that all officers below the grade of major
general who retire by reason of ago or
wounds received In action shall do eo on the
next grade above the rank held by them in
the regular army on the date of their re
tirement. " , . .

The report dwell * ) on the cwurtpsies shown
cur troops by the British government of
ficials while stopping at Gibraltar and elsewhere -
where enrouto to the Philippines and eajs
this international courtesy vvlll'long live in
the memories of both parties to the spon
tancous exchange.
Recommendation is made that military
officers serving abroad at military attaches
be given Increased rank and pay. As the
Increase in the army calls for an addltlona
number of military academy cadets to ill
vacancies , it is recommended that th6 pres
ident be authorized to appoint ten annually
and that two be appointed at largo from
each state.
Satisfaction Is expressed that the "army
canteen" embarrassment has been removei
from the War department by the action o
congress in establishing certain restrictions
Recommendation Is made that non-coinmls
Bloned officers bo given additional pay in
order to attract to these places n worthy
class willing to stay in those grades and
that twenty-flvo years' service
as an en
listed man shall bo sufficient to admit to the
retired list of enlisted men.
In a resume , General Corbln saje : ' 'Tho
regular army Is now practically at a max
imum , as are also the volunteer regiments.
The work Incident to all these changes ,
brought about by the acts aforesaid , involved
the enlistment of 238,500 volunteers. The In
crease In the regular army from 26.000to
12,000 , its subsequent reduction ami. then ,
gain Its increase to 65,000 , necessitating
numerous orders and instructions bearing
n the same , to say nothing of the comple-to
military record of every officer and man -of
his large force threw upon this department a
ask the magnitude cf which cannot be under-
tcod until undertaken. That this work has
been done with acuracy and Intelligence la
now history. All credit is duo to the as
sistants and the clerical force of the office , "
The report also calls attention to the fact
that not a single Ufo has been lost by ac
cident Incident to travel Jn the course of
all the transoortatlon to the Philippines ,
In conclusion , General Corbln points out
an omission in the law in falling to provide
chaplains for the volunteer regiments and
recommends that chaplains be provided for
as soon as possible , as the presence of ono
with each regiment Is deemed very neces
sary.

FINAL AGREEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE

Outlliu- IIic
niotit.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 1. The negotiations
for the partition of the Bamoins are pro
ceeding rapidly and officials here would not
bo surprised If n final agreement were
reached In the near future.
The discussion going on In London , with
the co-operation of the authorities hero and
In Berlin , has brought out essential features
on which nil three of the powers , Germany ,
Great Britain and the United Staled , ap
pear to bo agreed , It was staled that the
_ dqtcrmlnallon was reached that the trl-
j partite government of the group should come
to an end and that nbt more than two pow
ers , and preferably one , should govern the
Islands. It soon developed thnt an agree
ment was not likely to be reached giving
.ho entire group to ono power , but the
shanccS seemed good for nn agreement
hat two powers could divide the Islands ,
hua giving A dual government In place of
he present unwieldy agreement.
It seemed to be generally accepted by the
negotiators thnt the United Stales would
) o ono ot the two powers to be represented
and that the Island of Tututla , on which the
harbor of Page Page Is located , would
naturallj1 fall to the lot ot the United States.
It Is understood that the British autborlllcs
quite fully coincide with this view nnd that
while the Germane scorned to regard It fa
vorably It was left open , for more mature
approval by the Berlin authorlllcs.
In conceding this Island and harbor to ths
United Stales account was taken of the fast
that If an agreement were reached on that
mailer H would reenaln for the United States
to give Its approval. Ono ot the remalnln ?
Islands , Upolu , Is of much value , while the
other , Savall , is practically valueless It Is
suggested that Great Britain cede the Gil
bert and Solomon Islands to Germany , the
latler rellrlng from Samoa. The FIJI Islands
nnd eome olher points also have been con
sidered during the discussion , but thus far
Germany has not acted favorably on the
suggestion , and Ihere have been evidences
that she preferred to retain her Interests
and make compensation to Great Britain.
This remains open and appears to be the
chief point remaining In the way of a final
adjustment.
The foregoing general oulllno was given'
today In quarters well Informed on the general -
eral lines of the negotiations , although it
wail with the reservation that the under-
standlngn w.cromerely formative and still
optn to material change.
LATE ADVICES FROM HAWAII
Throe Important Docanicutn From
WnnUlitirton Arc Tendered to
the r\utlc Goicrinurnt.
SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 1. The tteamor
China arrived hero today fr6m Asiatic port/7 ,
via Honolulu and brings the following news
from , Honolulu under date of October 25 :
Special AgeutHarold M. Sen all has handed
to the Hawaiian government three letters , alt
of which are quite Important. They come
'rom Washington and arc official.
The first and most important refers to the
claims of British and other residents for
damages for Imprisonment during tbu : c-
aelllon of1895. . Enclosed with the com
munication Is the opinion of Attorney.Grlggs
: n relation \o-the'ninttcr. \ The merit ° ' lllP
claims Is acknowledged. . No individual cas3
s particularly specified. It "is recommended
that the local government make settlement
of some sort satisfactory to the parties.
The second letter and one ol great Im
portance , Is io relation to Minister Damon's
trip to Italy. Thio comes directly frcon the
secretary of state to Special Agent Sewall.
It is understcod that the United States gov
ernment disapproves of the mission of
Alt. Damon. Minister Damon left hero some
montna ago to enlist In Italy laborers for the
plantations , or rather to open the way for
drawing on the northern provinces of that
country for a portion of the field labor re
quired here.
The third letter was In relation to the title
of the minister of foreign affairs. The
Washington government rules that the point
Is well taken and that the office may con
tinue under its old title.
The successor to Minister King has not
been appointed as yet. The choice lies be
tween Alexander Young and Henry B.
Cooper , the present attorney general.
The steamship Carlisle City has arrived
from the Orient wjth 702 Japanese laborers
on board. The vessel will proceed to San
Diego and will probably go into the United
States army transport service. It was built
as a cnttlo transport and will be better for
the shipment of horses and mules than any
steamer now In that service.
The United States steamship Newark arrived -
rived > ffrom San Francisco this morning ou
Us way 'to Join Admiral Watson's fleet at
Manila. The cruiser will remain in port
about three doja.

PONCE , Porto Rico , Oct. 25. ( Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.--Census )
officials have been appointed for all the dls-
, trlcts of Porto Rico , and the first enumera
tion will be taken between November 10 and
! December 20. Already the various offices
1 are busily engaged In the preliminary work |
and they are making every effort and tak
ing every precaution to avoid errors and to
get complete and accurate data.
The Porto RIcan nenevolent society of
Ponce deserves much credit for the very
efficient work it has been doing In relieving
the mlaery and distress among the poor ot
this city , especially among the poor and
elck women and children. The society Is
made up of the leading women of Ponce and
'
has over 100 members , only eight of whom
| are Americans. The women work syste-
| matlcally and personally visit the poor and
help them. This Is ( julto a departure from
the ancient customs here , The society is
going to bold a bazaar In the remodeled
Lt Pcrlo. theater , In December , for the pur-
pose ol raising funds to establish an alms *
house In order to take the numerous begI
gars off the streets of Ponce. There l'i ' no
such Institution here , Although there la great
need of one. When the almshoute Is in
stituted a large number of the Indigent can
thus bo tnkcn cnro of for a comparatively
small sum. Now the crippled and infirm arc
seen on the streets nnd are supported by
the , pcnnjos given to them each day. The
society Is sending to the United , States , by
this mallr hundreds ot letters to prominent
merchants nnd manufacturers , asking for
contributions ot goods to , be sold at the
bazaar. It Is hoped there will bo n generous
response , for the contributions will servo
the double purpose of helping a worthy cause
and of introducing American merchandise
In i what Is soonto , bea new market.
