BISMARCK. N. D.. Sept. 13 -The Roo
vrlt rpocial train arrived at Bismarck at 6
o'clock today and remained her during
the nleht. This It a plate familiar to Gov
ernor lloosevelt and he met many of hi
old coaLo? friend at the station and la
the town. Amoot; thetn were K)tne who had
been with him on his ranch. A street dem
onstration had been prepared in bis honor,
consisting of a parade and fireworks In the
evening, together with a reception. He
poke in the evening at the Athenaem.
After relating some reminiscences of his
cowboy days In this country, he spoke of
tbo general prosperity of the country under
the MrKinley administration and then dis
cussed the Philippine question much as he
has in other speeeb.es during the present
trip
Bpeaklng of the trust Issue he said:
Of course when prosperity comes It
comes to he unjuit as we-ll as to the Just,
and Just exactly as hard times etrlKes ft

BISMARCK. N. I), Sept. 13. At James
town Governor Roosovelt said in part:
Our opponents uppcal to us to undo nil
the work In which our men of the First
pukotu took part In lS.'J All west of the
Missouri river wuh Sioux territory It was
Just nt tho closing of the lluhtlnK of Custer
and Crook out there It would have been
nonsense to apply the principle of self-government
to absolutely wild Sioux at th.it
time. Ho It Is with tho I'lllplnos. You can
not make them govern themselves) now ns
wo would govern ourselves. They do not
know how. You eould no more do that than
you could transplant an ouk and make It
grow In foreign soil. All the conditions
muBt bo right We nre going toi Introduce
our system of Kovornment In the Philip
pines, but we havei got to exercise common
sense In Introducing It. In the Interest of
the Klllplnos themselws nnd In the Interest
of manhood nnd the honor of this nation we
have got to continue the work wo have be
gun. Opponents talk of liberty. Tho peo
ple of these Islands now, wherever tho Hag
floats, have greater Uherty than they havo
ever known before throughout tho ages.
Our duty is prfectly plain.
I appeal to every good American, no mat
ter what may have betn his past political
affiliations, to Bland for the re-election of
the man who has. more than any American,
In the last four yearn contributed to those
condition which have made our country
great and prosperous.
Do Nut lilt Soft.
Again he said:
Now. gentlemen, there Is one lesson that
Is good for n private citizen to learn Just as
well as a nntlon. It Is the lesson of not hit
ting soft. Don't hit at all If o.i can help
It, avoid hitting if vou can help it, but If
y-u do hit don't hit soft. Th-re Is a cor
rolary to that proposition. If you get Into n
Job put It through Did we not use every
effort to avoid getting Into trouble with tho
Klllplnos? We tried our best to get the In
surgents to listen to renion and the presi
dent sent them message: after message to
make them understand that we came as
friends, that wo would grant personal
liberty nnd pereonnl freedom and Just at
much of self-government us they were ablo
to use. nnd Just audi a dc;rto of self-government
ns they were lined for. Kvery
effort waa niacin to convince! them of our
sincerity, but they stnn k and now we have
KOt to decide as a nation whether wo be
long to that foollrh cln a who thing that
when you get Into trouble you can hit a
little, but not too much. You know what
that meuns between two men. You never
jet heard of nny lnstnnce where one man
earned the credit of another by strlHuii; him
a little. Tho only effect Is, If you hit a
little, you mskn him angry.
Now, to have gone Into the Philippines
at nil was the greatest mistake unless wo
nro prepared to put tho thing through. I
um not reminding you of win re the mistake
began It was a mistake for Dewey to sink
the Spanish Ileet unless wo were propured
to fight out what was th-n done. Let us
pause and eximlno this n ibjei t a little. At
present w see among our opponents a very
clngulnr alliance, an nlllnncu of men who
clamored for the Spanish war and those
who wero against It. For Instance, down
In Maryland Mr. llrynn. who wanted the
Spanish war. xtruek hands with Senator
Wellington, who did not want It. Now It
would nave been n go'd deal better not to
havo gone Into the war than, having gone
Into It. to fall to nceept the responsibilities
that havo como from It. If you urn not
prepared to put a Job through then you nro
not to be pardoned for having gone Into It.
Whon you went Into the war to drive out
the Spanish tv runts from the Islands nf the
eastern and tho western truplc seus It be
came Incumbent upon us to see to It that a
proper government was substituted In these
Islands, according to their several capaci
ties nnd according to the needs of our coun
try nnd to tho needs of tho pcoplo of tho

.Nutlunnl fJrentucss,
VALLEY CITY, N. D.. Sept 15 A special
train with the Roosevelt party spent the
r.Uat at Fargo, leading there today. Ac
crmpanylng the party udsy were UoltrJ
States Senators Hastbrcugh from North
Dakota, Thomas Carter of Montana and
Wilson of Washington. The train will
(top tonight at Bismarck, where the al;ht
vuetlng Is arranged. One-minute stopi
were made today at Castelton, Wheat I nd.
RuS.Mo and Tower City. At Valley Clt
a stop of one hour was made and Goveract
Roosevelt made a short speech. He said In
part:
We have the right to appeal to all men
who are Indeed men. who are Indeed Amer
icans, to uphold the policy that tells for na
tional greatness. We stand at the thresh
old of a new century We begun that
century as one of the greatest nations of
the world, standing In the forefront. If we
are true to oureelves we shall establish for
this nation during the century to come a
record unequalled in the history of man
kind, but It can only be done by facing ca h
task as It comes nd not Illnthlns frum It
lou men of the west who have made this
commonwealth what It is today have not
dons It by seeking an easy time, not by try
ing to find out how to avert . ver difficulty
and recoiling from It and being afraid of It.
but by overcoming It. by wresting your
livelihood from n hostile nature and bv
building up. farm by farm, town by town, in
this great state. What you have done as In
dividuals the nation must do as a nation.
Only in that way can each of us maintain
m ngni we now nave to hold up our heads
with pride because of the deeds that have
been done by Americans In the past. Karli
generation has Its allotted task and accord
ing to the way In which each generation
does or does not perform the task will the
next generation hae cause xor pride or
shame.
In order to keep his engagement In Mon
tana Governor Roosevelt's train will con
tinue Us Journey Sunday, but there will
positively be no speechraaklng. This coun
try from Mandan to Miles City Is the coun
try through which Governor Roosevelt used
to roam with his cattle and where many of
his old cowboy friends still live and where
he was once a peace olllrer. It Is a natter
of deep regret on tho part of the governor
that he Is thus compelled to pass through
this territory In this summary way, but
Ircumstnnces have made It necessary. Not
only will there be no speaking, but the
train will not be allowed to pass through
uny village during the hour In which re
ligious services are In progress,
BRYAN'S DAY ON THE TRAIN

Ttnmn HAUTE. Ind.. Sept. 15. Hon. W.
J. Ilryan arrived here this forenoon on his
way to St. Louis, whero he will speak to
the traveling men tonight, giving In detail
his views concerning tho trusts. He began
the day early, having left Columbus nt tho
early hour of 2 o'clock, and was routed out
of tils sleeper a few minutes after 6 o'clock
In order to make a change of cars and was
aiot by a number of Indianapolis rep
resentatives of the press and from that
tlmo on the day was a busy one.
Crowds were assembled ut Grcencastle
and llrazll and stops wero so brief Mr.
Bryan could not comply with the demands
for a speech and could do no more than
grasp half a dozen outstretched hands. At
this point tho train was met by a goodly
crowd, who cheered heartily as It pulled
into the station.
VA.VDALIA. III., Sept. 15. At Effingham
Mr. Bryan referred to affairs la South
Africa In the following language: "If the
republicans say they believe In a repub
lican form of government, you tell them
that when a king dies a republican pres
ident will send a message of condolence,
out that when two republics are dying
your republican president darea not express
his regret. I want you to ask your repub
lican friends what has made the change In
tho republican party. In 1S96 the repub
licans were not afraid to say that they
sympathized with tho struggling patriots
in the Island Just to tho south of us. Dut
now, when Paul Kruger has been defending
tbo existence of a republic and has been
driven step by step from his own, not a re
publican of prominence dares send across
tho ocean one word of sympathy to men
whose heroism revives tho memories of
Marathon and Thermopylae,"
EFFINGHAM, 111., Sept. 15. At Terre
Hnuto Mr. Bryan waa given only five
minutes time, but he made a speech, ex
pressing his confidence In the democratic
outlook for the stato at the forthcoming
election.
"Wo aro counting on Indiana this year
for Its old-time democratic majority," he
said, nnd somo ono Ehouted back, "you'll
get IL"
The talk was Informal and along general
lines, as In many other of his brief speeches.
Mr. Ilryan suggested a number of questions
to bo askid republicans.
As tho train moved out he Eald:
"In 1S0G tho peoplo carao to us In the
hope of securing nn American financial
system; this tlmo they are coming to us
becnuso they want to contlnuo our Ameri
can system of government."
Thero was also an Informal reception at
this point and a few words In response,
llrynn lied ecu nn III iiiiimlou,
EAST ST. LOUIS, 111.. Sept. 15. Mr.
Bryan spoke hero this afternoon. Ills audi
enco. which was largo and demonstrative,
consisted largely of laboring men nnd their
families and to them It was addressed. Ho
tald that tho platform of the democratic
party waa peculiarly In the Interest of the
working pcoplo and bo was glad that It was
receiving their mpport, as It wa In a
marked degree. Ho repeated nt length his
characterization of the republican party
for "n full dinner pall" and reiterated his
assertion that whtlu tho laborer wanted a
bountiful table he was not to ho caught by
an appeal to his stomach only. Ho de
nounced the trusts and pointed out the dan
gers of a largo standlg army, contending
that tho tendency of tho republican party
was towards such an Institution. "But,"
ho said, "If we aro going to bavo a system
of Imperialism we shall havo to have a big
army to keep our colonial subjects from
making fnces nt us whllo they swallow our
system of benevolent assimilation."
Tho democratic party was. ho raid, fav
orable to the expansion of our trade, but
thero was a vast difference between expan
sion and Imperialism: the enc looked to u
slmplo enlargement, tho other to a chango
of tho governmental system. If wo wero to
help govern the Philippines then thoy must
to expected to help govern us; the arrange
monts must be reciprocal. No other sys
tem should be In Bceerd with our Institu
tions; no other system rould bo reconciled
to our declaration that "nil men are created
equal."
Did we want tho Filipinos as senators
or members of congress? No. Then wo
must take them, it at nil, as subjects. This
could not be thought of and the only course
open was to get out of the Philippines Just
as we aro preparing to get out of Cuba.
Mr. Ilryan was followed by Hon. Webster
Davis.

ST. LOtMS. Sept. 15. A less experienced
rata than Hon. W. J. Bryan might ery well
have had hi head turned by the reception
t arded him in St. Uuu tonight. He spoke
here nt the Collteua hsll'uuder the auspices
cf the National Democratic Committee of
Commercial Travelers. The hall is said to
seat H.uOO people. Not only was every seat
occupied, but every available foot of stand
ing room waa also covereJ. There were no
vacaacles oaywhere when the hour for call
ing the meeting to order arrived, but oth
ers continued to seek admission tor some
time afterwards.
Mr. Bryan was late la arriving at the
hall, having been detained by his attend
ance upoa a meeting of the Knights and
oadles of Honor at Concordia park, where
he also made a brief address. Mr. Bryan
had arrived la the city about 6 o'clock,
coaling here from East St. Louis. He waa
escorted across tho Mississippi by a com
mittee of the commercial travelers, who met
blra In the Illinois city. They brought him
to this city la a carriage drawa by four cream
white horses aad followed by twenty other
carriages, all drawa by white horses aad
accompanied by a mounted guard and a
largo squad of police. From the tlmo the
cavalcade crossed the long bridge the re
ception began. Tho streets were crowded
and many large flags floated from the build
ings. Thero were occasional cheers and al
together tho street greeting was at least a
faint Index of what the real reception was
to bo. Tho carriages were all decorated
In the national colors aad they made an lm
presilve appearance.
The meeting at the Coliseum was pre
sided over by J. W. Jump, chairman of the
commercial trarelers' committee, and the
time previous to Mr. Bryan's arrival was
tilled by other speakers. The first of tbeso
was Hon. John A. Lee. democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor of this state,
and himself a commercial traveler, and by
Hon. Webster Davis.
Web DnvU DefeniU Himself.
Mr. Davis took occasion to reply to the
recent charge that ho hail received money
from Prcsldcat Krager for taking a posi
tion in favor of the democratic ticket in
tho present campaign. He said that he
had gono to South Africa to visit a per
sonal friend of his, who was coniul there.
Ho then referred to his career tus assistant
secretary- of the Interior under the present
administration, saying that ho had worked j
day and night for the government for three I
years. In addition he had fought the bat- !
ties of tho republican party for four years,
having given beveral weeks of his time to
secure the cletlon of Mr. Hanna to the
senatorshlp from Ohio.
"When I reached Capetown," he said, "I
was warned by Sir Alfred Milner not to go
among the Boers, because of tho danger of
being murdered, because I spoke English.
l did go, ao.ri llielcss, and I found onlv
three Beers who wore not ablo to speak the
L.ngllsn language as well as I can speak It.
I then made up my mind that tho Hoera
wero being IlCjd about. They were being
lied about," ho continued, "Just as I am
lied about today."
Ho then said:
"Well Tel 1m Where He la At.
"I have been accused of an Infamous
crlmo by men I do not know and who I
have no doubt are getting big pay for what
they aro doing. I challenge them to pro-
duco a (single letter that I havo ever writ
ten or to bring forward any other legitimate
proof to substantiate their charges. They
cannot do that and I say here tonight that
any man or nowspiper which bays I re
ceived a slnglo dollar from Krugor or any
ono else Is an Infamous, damnable liar. I
will be at tho St. Nicholas hotel la this
city until tomorrow afternoon and any
dirty cur who tnkes lssuo with this char
acterization can meet mo there."
Mr. Davis then said that since ho had
tahen his position his crippled brother, who
had held the placo of assistant postmaster
at Kansas City, had boen deprived of his
oftlco. ,
There were alternate cheers and hisses
wh"- Mr. Davis was speaking and at times
tho scene was exciting.
llrjun fj I veil nn Orntlon.
Mr. Bryan arrived at S:45 and the audi
ence rose almost as onn man to greet him
as he strode ncrosB tho stage.
A majority of tho vast multitude wero
equipped with small American flags and
they waved them with a will. The demon
stration continued for five or six minutes
and It was In some respeots a repetition of
tho flag episode In the Kansas City con
vention. Mr. Bryan read his speech from manu
script. This did not seem to meet tho ap
proval of some of the audience and ho had
not proceeded far in his delivery when
several persons seated la tho rear of tho
hall had left.
Tho points of tho address were cheered
whea made and tho eatlre document was
well received.
Mr. Bryan began by siylng:
Tho lament of David over Absalom Is one
of tho most pathetic p,insnses of the Old
Testament. The fact that the son was in
rebellion aaalr.Pt civil um well at narent.il
authority did not nlinke tho father s affec
tion, and the anxious query, "Is the yo 'ng
man. Absalom, safe?" llngera In the
memory of all who study the Ilfo of the
Kreat Hebrew l-.lnsr. At.d. yet. rhe interest
which David felt In hln son. Absalom, has
Its par.illel In tho more than 10.01,000 fami
lies which make up the American people.
No lancunii" can describe a mother's love
or overstate tho nhldlng IntereHt which the
tamer reels in tho wcirure or hw child.
From the time nhen the mother's life
tilings In the bnltnce at the boy'H birth until
tho death of the narenta theru 1h Hcarcl
a waking hour when the son Is not present
in their thoughts nnd pirn. It is to this
parental devotion, ho universally recog
nized, that 1 defclru to appeal on this oc
casion. Appeal to I'nrtMittil Dei ot Ion,
I would call tho nttentlon of everv father
and mother to present political Rnd Indus
trial conditions. I would ask them to
analyze these conditions, Investigate tholr
causes and their tendencies. I would presi
upon wiem mis question: "in mo oung
man, Abs.ilom, FafeV" Aro you bntlstled
with tho poHslhllitles and the probabilities
which now open beforo your Fon?

Is ho safe when by means of taxes laid al
most entirely uiion consumption ho is co ni
pt lied to contrlhuto according to hl.s wan in

Ih he uafo when corporate Interests In
fluenco nn they do torlity the aelectlon of

if he is a wnan earner, and you do not
know how soon he may bo, even If he Is not

prhed of trial by jury, through the system
known ns government by Injunction?
Is lm Hafo, If a laboring man, when ho Is
denied tho protection of urhltrntlon and
compelled to Hubmlt to Mich hours and
terms ns a corporato employer may pro
peso? Mr. Bryan then devoted himself to mo
nopolies, as follows:
All .Monopolies Are Hud.
Those who attempt to divide, private
monopolies Into good monopolies and bad
moi opolies will never make uny ptoifrebs
toward Uic overthrow of tlw trusts, Ttmro

whlth will place trut made articles on the

would rrtitect th- r.ennle from tnuth of the
extortion which Is practiced under cover of
iiiyn (arm iawr. ir a lurm amy exciunes
the foreltn rrod'ict. while domestic manu
facturers combine to raise the price of home
product, me Amerl'iin cltisen rrn..- do
pljnde.rd here, while the tn.t sells abroad
In comietltlon with the world. It may not
be cut of place to suctest that I Introduced
a bill eight years ago providing for this
remedy, but we are not willing to stop at
op" remedy, we deIre to apply every
remedy within the power of the state and
federal governments. Congressional action
is not r.eceetary to destroy a trut which
confine lt operations to a single city or n
single state. S'loh a trust can be exter
minated by state legislation. It Is within
the power of th- state to prescribe the con
dition, upon which rurporatlonis shall be
organized and these conditions should be
s:c.h a. to make it prUate monopoly pl.ice
limitations upon 'nitride corporations dolna:
business within th state. This, however, Is
not sulMclent. Congress must co-operate
with the state in preventing the orcanlza
tlon of any Interstate monopoly. Without
Impairing the present authority of th? state
congress can provide that corporations or
ganized In any state shall not do business
outside of the state n-'tll certain necessary
conditions nre compiled with. If the people
of any state are will.ng to create and con
tinue a motiop..;y, the people of other states
need feel no concern, so long as the
monopoly Is coniir.ed to the state In which
the corporation originates.
CcuiKrcii .Mint Take- Action.
But tho moment a monopoly crosses the
stite line and Invade? othtr states congress
has a right to. and mist. Interfere for the
protection of the public at larjje. If n cor
poration organized In New Jersey or any
other state were prohibited from engaging
In Interstate commerce until It produced
evidence to show that there wa3 no water
In Its stock, and that it had not attempted
nnd was not attempting to monopolize any
branch of Industry. Its power to do harm
would at once be destroyed. An honest cor
poration engaged In legitimate business
ought to Join In the enactment pf laws
which will protect them and the public from
tho Industrial hlahwaymen who commit
larceny upon a grand scale. Those who de
Hire the annihilation of the trusts nre not
hostile to property rights, but they protest
ngalnst allowing the fictitious person,
created by law and called a corporation, to
trample upon the rights of the natural man
oi flesh and blood. If the man-made coo
peration supports the republican party we
ought to be able to uppeal for support to
the God-made man.
As to Itallrciiiil Dlftcrliiilnittlun.
The railroads have by discriminations nnd
rebates materially aided In bulldlnK up
monopolies. At one time the Standard fill
rompany had a contract with a railroad
where bv It not only enjoyed lower rates
than Its competitors, but received a part
of the freight paid by Its competitors. The
Interstate commerce commission has re
lieatedly uked for legislation which would
cmrowcr the commission to prot.-ct thu
public, but the republican party has turned
h deaf ear to these appeals.
It is generally assumed that the bankers
will co-onerate with the trusts In prevent
ing remedial legislation, but the banker
hlmelf Is apt to fall a victim of this policy
of concentration. Some are already urgtnB
the establishment of branch banks, and
when the branch bank Is established It will
be able to run all the other banks cit of
business. Hi en now the association of sev
eral great financial Institutions In New
York, under the Influence of one group of
tir.anclers, is embarrassing otner ana
smaller bnnks.
But why multiply Illustrations of the ell
of monopoly? No matter how tempting the
present advantage; no matter how alluring
the Immediate prospect every citizen will
find It to his p. rmanent advantage to aid In
the overthrow of the monopolistic principle,
and In the rc-establlshment of the Indus
trial svt-icm upon a basis of Justice. (Jive
the boy a change and let success be the re
ward of merit.
When Mr. Bryan concluded the reading
of his prepared speech he yielded to the
ggntly expressed demand for nn extempo
raneous talk, devoting about fifteen min
utes to an informal review of the political
situation. Ho was in bis best form. The
largo audience was inspiring and ho spoke
with great force. The applause was fre
quent and at times deafening. The demon
stration was especially marked when Mr.
Bryan roferrcd to President Kruger's de
feat and slow retreat beforo "an overwhelm
ing foo" and said that It was humiliating
to live under an administration which could
so easily express its sympathy over tho
death of kings, but could find no word of re
gret over tho destruction of two entiro re
publics. Tho sentiment was cheered to the
echo, many rising la their seats and wav
ing flags.
Mr. Brran closed at 10 30 o'clock.

a frost, the crowd present being no larger
than U usually In Maryvlllo on Saturday,
and tho democratic managers feel some
what chagrined.
The meeting had been extensively nd
vcrtlsed a3 tho opening gun of tho cam
paign. Mr. Dockery spoko first. He told
how the democrats havo reduced tho state
debt slnco coming Into power, but made
no other references to Btato Issu's. Tak
ing up tho trust questkn he argued at con
siderable length to show that tho pro
tective tnrlff is responsible for trusts.
Tho first thing Bryan will do after ho
Is elected, ho said, will be to break up the
trust3 business by causing the enaction
of n law which will lower the tarllt to
tho revenuo point. England's free trade
policy has given It control of tho commer

DELPHI. lad.. Sept. li. Five thousand
people gathered today to receive nad hear
Seaator Marcus Hanna. This Is the home
towa of Congresaman Landis of the Ninth
district, and the first appearance of Sen
ator Hanna on tho political stump In
Indiana caused great Interest. His style
pleased tho crowd and ho was greeted with
cheers at tho close of nearly every sen
tence. Senator Hanna arrived here from Chicago
at 2:15. Tho train was met by a large del
egation, headed by Congressman Lnndls.
A long parade escorted the senator to the
court house yard, where the speakers'
stand stood. Mr. Landis called the meet
ing to order at 3 o'clock, nnd after a brief
comment of congratulation on the size of
tho crowd he introduced Frank B. Posey
of Evaaavllle as the presiding officer. Mr.
Posey devoted his brief speech to comment
ing on the attacks that had been made on
Senator Hanna and defending htm. He
said tho democrats had a god to worship
nnd a devil to hate; that Bryan was the
god nnd Hanna tho devil. Ho briefly dis
cussed the questloa of Imperialism nad In
troduced Senator Hnnna. who discussed the
Issues of the campaign at length. Speaking
of Bryan's part In the ratification of the
Spanish-American treaty, by which the
Philippines were acquired, Senator Hanna
quoted from a Boston speech of Senator
Hoar as follows:
You all know that I have not been In har
mony with my party upon this Philippine
ciuestlon, but that Is only one of the many
Important questions, and ns long as my
party stands upon the foundation, the prin
ciples of which w-as the beginning nnd bap
tism of Its life. I shall stand by my party.
But I propose to tear the mask from the
face of that hpocrlte. William Jentilniss
Bryan. (Applause.! I call him a hypocrite
because, like my friends Senator Lodge and
Senator Hanna, I know tho motive which
Inspired the action on his part to ratify
tho treaty. You told me then, but I could
hardly believe It whs true, and I now Fee
mat it was true ana that ne is acting me
part of a consummate hypocrite In all his
connection nnd ndvm acy of his opposition
to me president on mat question.
.Sounds .Vote of Wnrulns,
Senator Hanna concluded:
I feel that If anything could Induce me to
appear before audiences of my fellow citi
zens it woum oe. not to sound me Keynote,
but to sound a note of warning.
I am not surprised that the people of the
United States should feel comfortable and
well satisfied under present conditions, but
i cion i want mem to re surprised ir they
tlnd that their over-confidence results in
the defeat of our ticket. I tell you. my
friends, that I do want to sound n note of
warning. There Is evidence on all sides In

Klnley will be re-elected and therefore they
do not fuel railed upon to exert any extra
ordinary effort to contribute their share
toward precntlng It. TJiat Is a duty as
sacred to every man as the dutv that he
owes to his famllv and his UOd. It Is a duty
that be cannot shift. He cannot shift the
responsibility of It upon tho shoulders of
his neighbor. He cannot excuse himself
for not performing that duty by attempting
to console himself with the Idea that some
body else will do his work.
At tbo conclusion of his address Senator
Hanna was cheered to the echo.
The Hanna party left hero for Chicago at
5:31.
DENVER GIRL IN TRAGEDY

Who Killed Illmaclf tu evr
York, Identified.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15. The mystery sur
rounding the suicide of Henry Grosvenor
Barbour, son of the Kev. Henry M. Bar
bour, rector of the Church of the Beloved
Disciple, this city, has been cleared up and
the whole story makes the suicide one of
peculiar tragical Interest.
Young Barbour shot himself Thursday
evening at a Brooklyn hotel, situated In
the shady part of the city, his body being
found Friday morning. He bad come to
the placo with a young woman' who was
described as being beautiful to a degree.
She disappeared and the events leading up
to the affair might have remained hidden
bad she not been found today In Seney hos
pital, Brooklyn, with a bullet wound in
the brtast. This wound, (be says, was In
flicted by Barbour.
The young woman In the case is Miss
Helen Southgnte Forbes, 19 years old.
When a child she was adopted by Bishop
Horatio Scuthgate, a distinguished proto
stnnt Episcopal missionary and orientalist,
who died some years ago. The girl was
glvca a most thorough schooling nnd at
the convent In Georgetown, D. C , sho was
perfected In music and languages. While
at the convent, It Is said, sho became con
verted to Catholicism, which led to an
estrangement with Mrs. Southgate, her
foster mother, and tho girl resumed tho
namo of Forbes. This was two yesrs ago.
She went west and th family heard noth
ing of her until this summer, when Mrs.
Southgate visited Uev. Edward Southgnte,
an adopted son of the bishop, an Episcopal
clergyman la Baltimore, nnd found tho
girl visiting at his home. Sho Invited her
to visit her at Goodground, L. I., where
the Southgatcs and Barbours havo had
adjoining summer hsmcs for many year3
though at tho tlmo of tho separation the
elder woman was exceedingly angry nnd
bad gono Into court to have tho legal
adoption by tbo bl.thop dissolved.
Tho girl, according to tho Uev. Honry
M. Barbour, was so charming In manner
that ho expresses no wonder that his son,
Henry G., becarao Infatuated with her.
They wero together constantly, and among
other recreations practiced revolver shoot
ing nnd It was with the revolver thus usod
that the suicide and shooting was dono.
Of the antecedents of tho girl Richard K.
Southgate, a foster brother, says sho was
ono of the five daughters of a Now York
druggist, now dead. Hor mother remar
ried and now lives In Deliver. Wednesday
the girl left the Southgate homo at Good
gruund, saying that she was going to visit
friends In Brooklyn. Young Barbour fol
lowed her aad the tragedy ensued. Accord
ing to her atory he was drinking heavily
at tho hotel whero they went and proposed
a double suicide, sho accepting the pro
posal. They first burned all the laundry
marks on their clothing, then lay down on
tho bed and Barbour shot her In tbo right
breast. He then killed himself by sending
a bullet Into his mouth. The girl waa only
wounded and quickly loft tho room and
hotel, going to Sonoy hospital. The
physicians there nro In doubt ns to her re
covery. In trying to destroy nil marks of
Identification tho iviuple forgot to burn a
number of pawn tickets which Barbour had
In his pockets, and these lod to tbo Identi
fication and the unraveling of the mystery.
