structing officers ns to tho character nf
tho response they arp to make to writs
of habeas corpus calling for the produc
tion In court of enlisted men or gonoral
prisoners. This action was token because
of a recent action In a Maine court, where

from custody of the military authorities a
minor who wan awaiting trial by court
marllal for fraudulent enlistment.
This order, known ns No. 127, directs

pus Issued from a state court, though the
answer must bo rospoclful nod must cite
the fact that tho United States nupromo

Issued by a I'nltcd States court, however,
tho prisoner or enlisted man must bo de

Campalgu Issues were discussed from a re
publican standpoint before an asscmbtnge
of S.f.OO people at the Auditorium tonight by
Postmaster (lenernl Smith and Speaker Hen
derson. A parade, consisting entirely of
uniformed cluln. pleceded the spcuklng. the j
Union Veterans' Republican club noting as
escort for tho two speakers. The parade
as one of the longest of strictly uniformed I
clubs ever seen In the rll .
At S o'clock the procession started from
thn Intersection of Ninth nnd O streets
and marched through crow .led slrcetn to
tho Auditorium entrance In the following
order
Marshal Cosgrove and staff, carriages con
taining speakers. I nlon Veterans' club, Mc
Klnley Drum corps, Young Ladles' McKlnley
and Hoosevelt club. Ilnielock Marching
club. Hngenow's band. I'tilvertlt) Pl.no
Marching club. Abraham Lincoln Colored
club with drum rorps.
The meeting wns presided over by II. M.
Ilushnell, ho Introduced David 11. Hender
son as the first speakir. When Mr. Hen
derson arose he was greeted with thunder
ous npplause and looking nut over his
hrurers he gave eildence of his surprise by
saying
"And this Is Ilrynn's homr. Is It? From
the npplause aud the demonstration It ap
pears to mo that McKlnley himself has
quite a large tnvostmotit here."
"You're right!" ramo from the nudlence.
"He's got sixteen to one ns much as
llryon!"
Speech of lleiiilersiiii.
The sppaker began his nddress by re
ferring briefly to llourke Corkron's fre
quent changes of political faith nnd called
attention particularly to his predictions of
189a that the destiny of the country de
pended on the defeat of Ilrjnn. while now
lie claims that Ilryau Is thn only man the
country enn depend upon for salvation.
Concerning the treaty of peace and Mr.
Ilrynn's altltudo concerning It. the speaker
told: "Hy the ratification of thnt treaty
wo obligated ourselves to protect the peo
ple of tho Philippine Islands. Spain had
enjoyed an undisputed title to those Islands
for thirty-seven years. The title of tho
United States under the treaty Is as per
fect as that of uny citizen of Nebraska to
his farm or town lot. If we wero wrong In
ratifying Ihe treaty the time to fight It
was before It was ratified. Yet Ilryan used
his Influence In congress to have It ratified.
So numerous are tho witnesses that Hryan
worked for tho ratification that ho haa
ceased to deny the charge and now excuses
hlmsolf by saying that he did It to end tho
war. If he read tho treaty and know tho !
sacred obligation' then ho does not deserve
tho vnte of one man. It was not within the
power of the lepubllcan tiny to rui'f:' live
treaty without other votes," for tho record
shows that among those who voted for It I
wero ten democrats and three populists. I
Including Allen of Nebraska. Hoar nmd I
Hale wero against It before It wus rntlfled, I
but they now stand up for Its obligations, j
because tho time to fight It has passed."
AVlieii llrj.1111 Wus 111 Conitress. ,
In closing Speaker Henderson spoke In
laudatory terms of Congressman Ilurkett
nf the First district and compared Ills
record with that of his predecessor, W. J.
Hryan.
"I sat for four years with Hryan In thu
national Iioubo nnd during that time he,
never mado a speech for the farmer or j
tho laboring man,", ho said. "Ho odvo- ,
cnted frco trade, free labor nnd free h I; I
that's what ho wanted." I
He ridiculed tho cry of militarism and
called attention to tho fact that under '
exlstlug lawn tho standing army would bo!
reduced to 27,000 on January 1.
Charles Emory Smith was given n greet
ing no less enthusiastic than thnt accorded
the preceding speaker. Mr. Smith's argu-
inent was convincing throughout aud no- j
cnsloucd frequent outbursts of applause. (
"lmperinilsm, no sain, - was a piianiom, u
hollow cry and uu Imaginary serpent of
mental delirium." Ho denied tho demo
cratic ansertlon thnt tho prosperity of the
land Is nil duo to natural causes and asked
his hearers to contrast the last four years
with any period In the nation's history,
t'riiiulnes nu.l I'cil'iiiiiiiiiiecs.
"You all remember McKluley's predic
tions and promises of four years ago," he
H.-ld. "Have not all of them been fulfilled?
When has tho ropubllc ever been so pros
perous as during those four years? When
in a corresponding period has nn admin
istration won and established such presllgo
and houor? What udmlulstrntlon has re
flected so much ItiBter upon tho country?
Tho question Is, Arc you going to trust the
governmert to tho prophota of evil, tho
evaugels of calamity, or to tho great build
ers and architects of our present great
ness and glory? If you turn away this
administration you will bo guilty of wreck
ing a stupendous and stately ship, freighted
with a rich cargo uud with a clear chart
headed toward the port of natural hap
piness, greatness and glory."
