"Now, gentlemen, I am going to speak of something suggestive of that gentleman," resumed the governor. "Never imdnd1 hilm," some shouted. "I 3)on't; I like him; he amuses and interests me.''

The First Na onalank, Broadway and Wall street, Sas been robbed of $700,000 by Note Teller Cornelius L. Alvord, who has been employed by the bank twenty years. The statement issued by the bank this afternoon, in which the de falcation is announced, says that Al vord's operations were continued for a considerable period, and so skilfully concealed, through manipulating his balaqpe 'book, that although the bank had "been recently repeatedly examined by expert accountants and once by the United States examiner, they were not discovered until a few days ago when they were discovered by one of the em ployes. The statement further says that the false entries, which aggregate $700,000, liave been made good out of the bank reserve funds. The defalcation is the biggest in the history of the street. Alvord, it is said, was a nephew of Thomas B. Alvord, formerly lieutenant governor of the state. He was fifty ui ttSC "1S ia vd-nuo He stood high in church and society circles. At the bank he was described as having a sporty look, and he was familiarly known as Big Tom, because of hiC great size. He had a wife and three children, and so far as known there ' was no woman in the case. Al vord'duty was handling incoming mail and all drafts and collection items.' Some of his acquaintances thought he was living sumptuously for his supposed salary, but were of opinion that he was making money by speculating. His whereabouts are un known. BRYAN AT WASHINGTON. Pours Forth His Fallacies in the Cap ital City and Elsewhere. Washington), rt. 23. Hon. William. J. Bryan ent am1 hour and! a quarter at the national capital today. His train arrived over the iChesapeaike and Ohio tailiroajd from) West Virginia at 7:55 o'clock this 'morning, an hour late. About 1,000 people were awaiting 'at the depot. A force of three score po licemen and detectives were 'dusitribut ed about the depot to maintain order. As the train pulled in, amid cheers of the waiting crowd ex-'Judga William! M. Springer, former chairman of the house committee on way and means, an old colleague of the democratic cain1 diidate. nfet Mr. Bryan. The 'two then passed down through the depot, fol lowed by a large and enthusiastic crowd, and .gradually worked 'their way to the entrance. Here an automobile was in wait'iing and 'they were 'taken to the residence of Judge Springer, op posite the capitol, where Mr. Bryan had breakfast. Col. Isaac Hill, demo cratic "whip" of the house of represent atives, was the only other guest. A few minutes before 9 o'clock Mr. Bry an wais driven to Jthe Bailtimo- 3 and Ohio depot, where he maoe a forief speech from his automobile. He spoke on Imperialism and civil .service. A large assemblage of people were massed' about the depot. Mr. Bryan sale: "O'ccasiomally I hear it suggested that persons engaged in the civil service who are opposed' to imperialism will vote the republican ticket for fear of losing their positions with the government. Certainly t'nere are not many who would prefer government employment under an empire to whatever risk might attend their employment under a re public. I am mot much an admirer of that civia service which is susipeuded when a president is inaugurated until he can fill the offices with his friends, and is extended by the president who is about to retire, in order that he may rrv7Yvfrt his friends in office. I believe that a system of civil service might be devised wherein eipoint mentis -ould be made upon merit and wherein the ap ,nmiintees would hold for a fixed term' airid not be dependent upon' the rwill of an aD'Doinit'ing' official." iMr. Bryan dosed with the staitement that it was not his highest ambition to be president, "fbut to make thus gov erniment so good that to be. a private citizen, in this republic will ibe 'greater honor than to be a king in any other nation."

YALE'S PSESIDEMT SPEAKS AT NASHVILLE Kissam Hall, ths Gift of W. K. Van- derbUt, Formally Presented to the University. Nashville, Oct.. 23. .Very interesting exercises to celebration of the tweraty fiiSth aniversary of Vanderoilt univers ity were held today in the Gospel tab ernacle. There were present at the1 tab ernacle representatives of many other colleges and universities and friends of Vanderbilt university. Addresses were delivered by President Arthur T. Had- ley of Yale, and 'Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt university, and the presan'ta- ition of Kissam 'hall, the gift of W. K. Vanderbilt, followed. An elaborate musical .program was (rendered.

London Magistrate Scores Them for Their Treatment of Dowie. London, Oct. 23. When the medical students who were arrested yesterday for mobbing John Alexander Dowie, the Zionist of Chicago, were arraigned before Edward Nicholas Fenwick-Fen wick, the police magistrate today, he gave them a good tongue lashing. The magistrate said he was shocked at the fact that educated men had acted so disgracefully. Fines of five pounds were then imposed on the sudents. A huge mob awaited Mr. Bowie at St. Martin's town hall this 'afternoon and the "faith healer," who had to be guarded by the police, was rushed in to the hall by a double cordon of police men. The crowd howled and charged but the police stopped them with rushes. XIUUJV DXV.UU a. iAXLIH. CREAMEaY BUTTER " proud of PRESERVES as they are the best we can get.

Doubts as to Germany's Pur poses Apparently Removed. Way Seems Clear for Beginning Peace Negotiations With China. Outcome May be Recognition of Open Door Policy. OUR GOVERNMENT WILLING TO ACCEPT IN GOOD FAITH RUS SIA'S DECLARATIONS THAT SHE IS OPPOSED TO THE DISMEM BERMENT OF CHINA. Washington, Oct. 23. The govern ment is now satisfied that there will be no further hitch in the initiation of peace negotiations with China. Officials here believe the outcome will be recog nition of the "open door" policy and a declaration in favor of preserving the integrity of China. The Anglo-German agreement apparently removed the doubt that existed as to eGrmany's purposes, and while there is some sus picion m regard to Kussia s attitude this government is willing to accept in good faith the declaratiin of Russia that she is opposed to dismemberment. Conlderable anxiety is felt here over the uprising in South China. The reb els, who opose the existing dynasty and profess to be in favor of reform, are having much success, particularly in the vicinity of Canton: Several de spatches have been received from con suls in South China which show that the rebels are steadily advancing. They have captured some towns which the Imperial trops sought to defend. The trouble in the south may compli cate the situation. AWAITING FURTHER LIHGT. Washington, Oct. 23. It is not the purpose of the state department to act upon the suggestion contained in the British-German agreement respecting China, and give it its further adher ence for several days at least. The sub ject Is one of sufficient importance to warrant careful consideration, and es pecially is it desirable that some furth er light be shed upon the third clause of the agreement before the United States acts, though it is not doubt ed hat at least a qualified adherence will be given. The deparment is in correspondence with Mr. Conger, who is advising It freely of the various propositions that arise before the body of ministers residing in Pekin, who are now in conformity with terms of of the French note consulting with the object of beginning negotiations with the Chinese government. It cannot be gathered, however, that any marked progress has been accomplished up to this moment. RETURN OF VOLUNTEERS. Saw Francisco, Oct. 23.
