publlration of a notice from the terrorists
that a sentence of death had been Im
posed on Colonel Dumbadzc, commander of t
a rifle regiment here, the officers or, that
corps In an open letter have announced
that In case of an attack being made on
the colonel they will exact vengeance on
the leaders of the progressive parties.
Admiral Fkrydloff, commander of the
Black sea fleet and the military comman
der here, are very apprehensive, both re
garding the attitude of the sailors of the
fleet end the garrison of the fortress ns
being very serious. The annual course of
the training squadron, as well as the regu
lar fleet maneuvers, have been abandoned.
The warships will only make short trips
to sea, scarcely venturing beyond the range
of the guns of the forts.
The militsry pstrols In the city have
ben withdrawn inside the walls of the
forts, the governor snnouncing that the
men are needed for their regular military
training, but It is said that the step is
due to the fear that the soldiers will be
corrupted If they are allowed to be In con
tact with tha masses. The merchants of
this city have practically been thrown on
their own resources In the matter of pro
tection from lawlessness. The governor, at
a recent meeting of merchanta, advised
them to organize their own guard for the
protection of priprty, as soldiers could
no longer be spared for police duty, and
as the municipality Is bankrupt and un
able to maintain efficient protection.

ahook hands as his train pulled Into Union

for The Bee. "I never felt better In my
life," added Mr. Bryan, his face wreathed
In smiles, aa he looked out and beheld the
vast crowd, waving and yelling their
greeting to him and Mrs. Bryan.
And Mr. Bryan's appearance certainly
bore out hla assertion of feeling fine, for
he looked the picture of health. Mrr.
Bryan, too. looked well and she slso ex
pressed delight at being home agaiq after
their long voyiure, which waa a happy one.
Mrs. Bryan brought home with her a Ger
man dachshund.
Hltrbeock Heads Reception.
Mr. Bryan waa In hla private car at the
end of the train. Gilbert M. Hitchcock
took the Initiative for the local committee
and waa at Bryan's car with a strong fol
lowing before the train came to a stand
atlll. "Is he Inside?" asked Mr. Hitchcock of
P. C. Hcafey, who was standing on the
platform of the Bryan car,
"He Is," responded Mr. Heafey.
"Bring him out," replied Mr. Hitchcock.
Mr. Bryan had not been Informed be
fore arriving that he was to speak In
Omaha When he came to the platform
Mr. Hitchcock said, "Come on William,
you are supposed to make a speech.'
"Oh, very well," replied Bryan.
"Your train leavos the Burlington sta
tion at $ o'clock sharp and I will see
you don't talk too long," said Mr. Hitch
cock. Surrounded by a squad of police under
Sergeants Dempsey and Slgwart, to open
the way, Mr. Bryan was taken to the

riage was In waiting, from which he spoke.
The crowd wss so dense It was with
great difficulty tha police could pilot Mr.
Bryan through. After the carriage was
reached Mr. Hitchcock -made a few In
troductory remarks, but It was some time
before Mr. Bryan could speak, as the
throng kept crowding from the station.
Editor Welcomes Him.
In welcoming the distinguished Nobraskan
home Mr. Hitchcock sold:
"Mr. Bryan hna but fifteen minute, as
160,000 people are waiting for him at Lincoln
from all over the state, but T think this
will be sufficient for him to nay to us what
he thinks of the great welcome which has
been accorded him on his homecoming by
the American people." '
. Mr. Bryan stood for fully five minutes
before the crowd could be quieted, due to
cheering and to crowding of those within
the station, who wished to hear him speak.
He said: , ,
"Ladles and '-i gentlemen, I hare been
apeaklng considerably during the last few
days and you will have to bear With me
for a few moments onttl my throat clears,
when I will be all right and all can henr
me. It would take me hours instead of
minutes to express to you the gratitude I
feel for tha reception w have received
from the moment we came In sight of the
home folks In New York harbor. It waa a
'urprige t0 us for we had been on the
ocean f,
ocean for nine aays ana aia noi Know m
the plan until we looked from the dock
and saw the 114 residents of Nebraska, who
had crossed one-half the continent to wel
come ua. My heart felt more than my words
cottld express, for It was good of these
kind people. The mayor waa . there wit
his lasso and after throwing It around my
neck I have not been able to shake him
since. You sent a representative delegation
and I waa able to renew many acquaint
ances I had made during th last sixteen
years. As we have Journeyed across the
continent, and as I told the boys this morn
ing, I have reached the conclusion there
are 114 type of beauties, and In that erowd
which came east each type had a perfect
representative.

been here aeveral days. It waa a long trip
around the world and w not only went
around the world, but went as far south aa
the equa'or and aa far north aa the Arctic
circle. We have seen mountains and vales,
temples and castles, new buildlnsa and old
wealth stored and accumulated for years.
We have talked with the representatives
of many races and some of these through
an Interpreter, but my friends, In following
the sun In its course we found no people
like those of th United Statea. If a man
who haa never traveled .abroad and haa
never aeen any other land than his own
Is proud of these people, his pride would
surely Increase if he travel to make com
parisons.' "No people on earth hav as good sys
tem of Instruction a our. I hav seen
many women, but it waa to the immeasur
able advantage of th American women.
The American woman have an advantuge
over the women of Europe. Max O Roll
ence said: 'If I waa to be born again, and
the next time a woman. I aurely would
want to be bcrn in tbe United Statea.' Our
educational ayatems are far superior to
those of any other land. W have been in
countries where less than 1 per cent of the
women were able to read and leas than 18
per cent of the men. In another country
not mors than one In 100 could write. This
country excels, not only In educational ad
vantages, but also In moral purposes.
Work of America Abroad.
"We found now oauters of education Ij
other countries, planned by Americans, and
It waa very evident . that this country
spends mor dollar than any other country
In educational work. W found teachers
almost everywhere from this country, giv
ing people an opportunity to understand
tha advantages of western civilisation. If
there waa ever any doubt In my mind con
cerning th Chrlstlsn religion that ha
urely been removed. I have seen worship
of idols and I hav aeen people take th
water from th Ganges a If It had some
healing qnality. One prince, to hla travels,
always carried a supply with him to cur
alt ills. W found superstition In an ex
travagant degree, and I waa glad that It
waa my fortune to hav learned early In
Ufa a religion superior to the; conception
of life not measured by income, but In
proportion to that whloh w distribute la
th way of good.
"I shall be glad to give you, at a later

I hav mad. You must give m tlm to

Vice President Falrbanka spent about
twenty nilnutrs In Omaha last night, com
ing In on the Overland Limited. While the

In company with frlenda, shaking hands
with quite a number of people who ap
proached, recognising him from hhj ap
pearance. One traveler who walked up to
greet him, gave his name aa Bradley and

had resided In Ohio very close to where
the vice president spent his boyhood days.
Among the Omaha people who greeted
Mr. Fairbanks were Victor Rosewater,
Luther Drake, Alfred Darlow, Henry T.
Clarke, sr., and one or two other. Speak
ing to Mr. Rosewater, Vice President Fair
banks said:
"I was very much shocked and grieved
to hear of your futher's sudden death.
He waa one of the truest and best men
whom I counted among my friends. Ed
ward Roaewater was responsible for my
first visit to Nebraska, when I came out
here at his sola itation to help out In the
campaign in this state. When he waa at
Washington we always vlBlted together and
lie gave me much suggestive Information
and advice, especially on subjects of Inter
est' to the people of the west. I hav
never passed through Omaha wlthoutjioti
fying hlin. and he haa always come down
to the train to meet me and talk over pub
lic questions and the political situation.
So this time not being able to see him I
decided to wire his aon In order to keep In
touch with doings In Omaha and Ne
braska." Vice Preeldent Fairbanks la returning
from the National Irrigation congress at
Boise, Idaho, where he made tbe principal
address. Speaking of th irrigation con
gress, he said:
"The Irrigation question Is growing stead
ily In Importance and has not yet reached
Its limit of significance. Aa I said out there
I think It will have a reflex action on other
parts of the country besides th west and
lead to the storage of river waters In east
ern and gf ntral states for the purpose of
Insuring an even supply of moisture. I
am glad to note In coming through Ne
braska how well the country looks and to
hear that the crops are promising so big
and that the people are In such a pros
perous condition."
Vic President Fairbanks goes to hla
home In Indianapolis from here. Ha has
an engagement for September 12 In New
England and another aoon after tn Colorado
Spring, -where he will make an address
at the Pike's Peak Centennary celebration.'
On tbla trip Mr. Fairbanks Will accompany
