WILLIAM J. BRYAN . DISCUSSES PEACE
Mr Chen Tans; Linus Chans; Paya
; High Compliment to the tsar
and Spenks In Favor of
The Haaae.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-More than four
hundred members and guests of the Hol
land society of New York tonight attended
an annual dinner at the Waldprf-Astorla.
The toasts Included "Peace," William J.
Bryan; "Holland, Our Ally In the Revo
lution," Rev. George C. Lorlmer; "The
Friendly Relations of the Dutch With
Other Nations," Sir Chen Tung Liang
Chang; "Our Herov Ancestors," James M.
Beck.
President Theodore Banta delivered the
opening address and proposed tha toast
of the president, which was drunk stand
ing. John V. Vrooman read a letter of
regret from President Roosevelt, who Is
one of tha oldest members of the society.
Sir Yeng Tung Chang was loudly ap
plauded. He said:
I have always thought the respect for
ancestors was a peculiar trait of Chinese
character. It la the result of Confucius
teaching. But who would expect such a
sentiment to prevail to any extent In a
country like America? This Is a land for
self-made men, who, as a rule, regard an
cestry as a matter of secondary considera
tion. The achievements of the Dutch In
the cause of political freedom and re
ligious toleration, In commerce, In sci
ence and in art have been various and
splendid. Indeed, any nHtlon might be
proud of such a long succession of great
soldiers, statesmen, national philosophers
and painters as the Dutch have given the
world. .
Fortunately for the present day and gen
eration the world has advanced so far in
enlightenment and civilisation as to have
other means of settllna international die-
Pute."1n a resort to arms. Aitne same

drawn closer together. War at the present
Hbv nnt nnlv involves thn narties con
cerned, nut also anecis me interests ui
other nations. The extension of commerce
has brought about all of this. The ciar
of Russia only gave expression to what
an mankind reit wnen ne issuea a can
for a peace congress. Consequently he
met with a ready response from every
government. This is a long step towards
the ultimate abolition of war.
William J. Bryan said:
Since my visit to the Netherlands, my
thoughts have been dwelling much upon
the important part that that Tittle nation Is
destined to take In the movement that haa
for Its object the euhstltulon of reason for
force in the settlement of differences be
tween nations. It is fitting that the temple
of peace should stand upon the ground that
was the scene of an eighty years' conflict,
and I am glad that an American cltlsen
has so generously provided for Its con
struction. "
We must Jiot expect all armies to be dis
banded at Once, or look for the Immediate
settlement of all questions by arbitration.
The peace conference which, by invitation
of the emperor of Russia, convene at The
Hague, revealed the fact that society is at
last approaching the point where con
science will assert Its supremacy over brute

DEATH RECORD.
Otto Baumaan.
WEST POINT, Neb., Jan. 2L (Special.)
Otto Uaumarln, one of the best known
and most representative citizens of this
place, died suddenly this morning Just after
breakfast. He had been In falling health
for some time. Ho was 67 years old and a
native of Germany. He came here soma
thirty-five years ago and ever since has
been identified In a very large measure
with the upbuilding of West Point and
Cuming county. He was vice president of
the West point National bank and was
the controlling factor in nearly all of our
local manufacturing and industrial enter
prises. He leaves a large estate. His
widow, together with his three sons, John
T., assistant cashier of the West Point
National bank; Henry, a member of tha
Stleren-Jerman company, and Edward, pd
vate secretary to Warden Beemer, survive
him, as also two young daughters at home.
Mr. Baumann waa a man of strongly
marked individuality,' a model of probity
and business sagacity, and his death Is a
public calamity. Ha received the nomina
tion for state treasurer of Nebraska some
years ago and ran on the democratic ticket
but was defeated. Since that time ha has
not taken any active part in politics. His
helping hand and financial assistance to his
poorer neighbors and his unostentatious
charity were strongly marked traits of his
character.

UNITED STATES DUTY BOUND TO ACT
resident Did Right Thins; at Right
Time and Ills Act Stnnds Forth
s the Greatest of His
Cnreer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. a.-8enator Piatt of
Connecticut concluded his speech on Pa
nama today. He defended the course of
the president throughout the Panama re-
olt and eulogised the executive policy as
fearless. During the morning Mr. Morgan
spoke in explanation of hla bill for the an
nexation of Panama to the United States,
basing his argument on the ground that
the pending canal treaty contemplated that
result.
Mr. Piatt defended the president against
the charge of committing nn act of war,
or even an act of intervention, denying
that his acts In connection with the Pa
nama revolt amounted to either. He said:
It ts easy to make charges and to talk In
an excited way. We want specifications,
ana u is lime tor senators wno lalK or ins
act of war and of Intervention to tell us
what an a.'t of war Is and what act of the
president In this case amounts to war or
Intervention. It Is acts of which we sre
speaking, and we sre not concerned with
tvhtt the president thinks or wants.
One thing about the president was that
the pcoplu telieved him honest; that he
waa a man who did what he believed to be
right.
Mr. Piatt said that our Tights on the
Isthmus were tuperlor to those of any
treaty. He said President Roosevelt . had
the same constitutional right to-send ships
and land marines in Panama to protect
American Interests and American lives and
property as President McKinley had to
send troops to Peking for the relief of the
American legation.
Mr. Piatt held that independently of the
treaty of 1846 the United States had the
right to protect transit across the Isthmus,
even against Colombia. Indeed, we were
bound not only to protect cur own Interests
On tho Isthmus, but that of tho civilised
world. ' . .
If. he said, the president had not taken
the steps he did the protests we now hold
would have been a mere scepter compared
witn tne storm we would nave nearo.
The act of Colonel Black In raising the
flag of the Panama nnt Inn was defended
oh the ground that he was engaged at the
time In. civilian duty and raised the flag
after the new government was formed
There would be, he added, no difficulty In
accepting the theory of good faith In those
matters If senators wanted a canal at Pan
ama and did not want It at Nicaragua.
"I want a canal at Panama," responded
Mr. Tillman, "If we don't have to steal."
To this expression Mr. Piatt took excep
tion as unworthy of a gentleman. Senator
Piatt spoke briefly of the doctrine of "in
ternational eminent domain," but said that
tho phrase was a misnomer, as there
was no question of domain Involved.
But, he added, there is reason for savins
inai u me people owning tne strip ol land
across which the world haa said there
should be an interoneanlc canal, hedge
about difficulties, strike for more monev
and hold up negotiations, the United States,
ir tne canai cannot be Dunt in any other
way, will build It with a strong army and
the message of the president was entirely
Justified on that point.
Etpeaking of the president's recognition of
the new republic, Mr. Piatt said:
The act Hands out as that of a brave
and tearless man; as that of a man who
is r, either rash nor Impetuous. He did the
right thing at the right time, the thing
which will Insure the building of the canal
which has been long delayed. Wa will
ratify the treaty; we will build the canal:
and, when, the ships of . the whule world
with their caraoea are traversing It, these
criticisms, these attacks, these vitupera
tions, will be forgotten, and whatever Mr.
Roosevelt may do in the present or any
other term of ofllce, this act will stuud
forth as the greatest of his career.
Mr. Tillman was recognised to read the
Oatend manifest and the comment made
on it by the republican platform of 1856.
He contended that the policy of the present
administration was "that might makes
right."
BLAIR IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Accused Tells Story Somewhat Dif
ferent from Other Witnesses
In the Case.
YORK, Neb., Jan. 21.-(Speolal.) Whee
It was known that John Blair, the de
fendant in the celebrated assault snd ab
duction case, was to testify, hundreds of
his neighboring farmers and friends came
from Arborvllle to attend court and hear
his testimony.
He told of his first acquaintance with the
Thomases years ago and the friendly re
lations between them and his family. He
told that the relations between .Beulah
Thomas and himself were only such as
neighbors and friends, and that at no time
had there ever been any criminal rela
tions, denying that he ever committed an
assault upon the person of Miss Thomas.
On cross-examination by the attorneys
for the prosecution Mr. Blair was either
made to testify, or forgetting, did testify
to events, their time and place, much dif
ferent from some of his own witnesses and
also witnesses of ths prosecution. His de
nial was at variance with that of Miss
Thomas. Blair claims that Miss Thomas
is much abused by her parents and that
she was compelled to testify against him
at the preliminary hearing by threats of
her mother, and that he was perfectly
Innocent of any of the charges. In his
testimony he told of all his connections
with the abduction of Miss Thomas In No
vember. He stated that h had requested
hla hired man, Mr. Bice, to go to the place
and at the time appointed to meet Miss
Thomas. He told him where she would
be and that he had previously made the
appointment with her. He stated that Bice
found Miss Thorns s there and took her
to a farmer's house, Anderson's, living
s, few miles west of, Arborvllle, where sh

stayed for a few days and left, owing to
the sickness of Mrs. Anderson. John Blair
testified that he went there and brought
Miss Thomas to his home, and that they
arrived there about 12 o'clock. He denied
holding Miss Thomas on his lap, and
stated that while Miss Thomas was in Ma
home she was sick and confined to her
bed for a week, and that he had gone to
her room and given her medloine. This
was contrary to the testimony of Miss
Thomas, who claims that while she was at
Blair's she waa not sick. John Blair, in

his appearance. He left the saloon and
started .towards the depot. A party who
met him says that he was staggering, but

ing a little too much. He went Into the
waiting room of ths depot and sat down.
The operator says he noticed that Krueger
was frothing at the mouth, but paid little
attention to him. Abou six minutes later
a section hand came In and saw the un
fortunate man writhing on the floor in
convulsions and at once summoned a phy
sician, who was unnble to give him any
relief, and he died a few minutes later at
about six o'clock. An empty bottle which
had contained strychnine was found In his
pocket, together with quite a sum of
money. He was about 25 years of age. A
brother of his lives at St. Paul, Minn. No
reason is known for the act. He was not
a man of very strong mind and at times
was considered a little off. When he left
Meyer he said he was going to West Point.
He had worked around Hooper for some
time.

Condemned by (experience. ,
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The nineteenth an
nual meeting of the American Protective
Tariff league waa held today. The report
of the secretary showed a membership of
$78 In twenty-two different states. The
tariff league unanimously adopted an ad- ,
dress, "To the Protectionists of the United
States." The address says:
It may he that considerations of sentl
mpnt or even party expediency seem to '
party managers wiser guides In some par
ticular emergency than rlirid adherence to
the natlonnl policy of protection. It mny ,
be that a party organlratlon can take thit
View and act on It without Injury to Itself,
but such a course can no more he pursued
by an organisation dedicated to the cause
of protection than an Individual can depart
fr m the line of rectitude In order to benefit
other.
With Imports of $1.0W,onn.O0O for lfcfl. being
$2il.ono.noo ahove th. highest mark previously
reached, and with exports amounting to
$1, 41.. 177. nearly $Jft.iO.OO0 greater than
the total for any preceding year, we are
unable to perceive the necessity for the
abandonment of protection In order that
our foreign trade may be Increased.
With a foreign trade segregating $1,500,
OOn.mK) and steadllv growing It would reem
that we are already getting a fair share of
the world's traffic. But it must not bo for
gotten that our internal trade reaches $.10.
0n0.0on.000 yearly. To the care and preser
vation of the great home market, with Its
trade of ISrt.onu.OOO.ooO, protection stands es
pecially committed.
In annual meeting assembled, we reaffirm
the position taken by the tariff league,
adopted on January IS, 1903, and declare:
That reciprocity In competitive products Is ,
unsound In principle, pernicious In praswice -and
condemned hv experience. It is w.n
trary alike to the national policy of pro
tection, to the fair treatment of domestlo
Froducers and .to friendly relations with
oreign countries.
