O., May 1 Under the aus pices of the Jefferson club laat night, a banquet by I'.iw: men and women was ad dressed by William Jennings Bryan. His subject was "Watchmen, What of the Night?"

"In defer.t. ' he said, "the democratic party has been the dominant force In the natk-n." The presidency wa the greatest office to which a man could strive, but he preferred defeat rather than "election at the hands of the forces which supported Taft." Referring to the last organisation. Mr. Bryan declared the republican national committee spent Sl.SrtO.OOo, as against . 000 by the democrats, while the local cam paign funda of the democrats were alao much smaller than those of their opponents. In some states, he said. the. number of pa pers favoring the republican candidate waa elx to one for the democrats. In addition, he said, all the federal officeholders and all the trusts and bankers were against him. "And yet." ssld Mr. Bryan, "a change of seventy-five votes would have given us the electoral college." "Eighteen years ago." said the speaker, "the people In general had no conception of the possibilities of evil and the great menace of private monopoly. Now they are better educated. Only recently, the coun try witnessed the spectacle of a great trust taking the president by the throat and com pelling him to acqutfse In its absorption of Its most active competitor." niaa;rarefal Contact of liver and bowels, in refusing to act, is quickly remedied with Dr. King's New Life Pills. 35c.

The estimates of from 2fl.0fm to M.noo Christians killed by Moham medans in the province of Adana made a fortnight ago, must be revised. It Is now ascertained that the number can hardly reach more than 10.000, possibly less. Thousands who were supposed to have been killed In the country districts have since come In to some one of the large towns for relief. Nearly fifty thousand, however, received assistance from the American, French, German Armenian re lief committees at Adana, 20,000 at Marasch. 14.000 at Hadjln, 3,000 at Merslna, 2,000 at Yatakla, 4,000 at Tarsus, and a com paratively large number at Alntab and Alexandretta. Fugitives from the villages or settlements, who first reached the large towns s Iter the massacres began, exig gerated through their fears, the extent of the slauahter. and although the later fla- I urcs are lower than the first estimates. ! there still remains the dreadful fact that frightful brutality was practiced, especially toward the women.
