THE AUDIENCES LtAUGE AND EN,
THUSIASTIC SPEAKS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE UNI
VERSITY OfF CHICAGO IN THE
AFTERNOON.
Chicago, Nov. 2. Bryan completed
his second day's tour of Chicago at
midnight in the levee district. He
made thirty two speeches, although he
was billed for only eleven. His audi
ences were large and enthusiastic. His
first speech was made at the lake front
in the morning' to several thousand.
He devoted most of his Speech to im
perialism. He said: "If I delivered a
short republican speech on imperial
ism I would go about it like this:
'We are sorry we got the Philippines.
We did not want them. It looks as
though they came to us in the way of
destiny, and it ite beginning' to look as
If we were being1 lead by divine Provi
dence, and besides there is money in
It.-
He said the democrats were opposed
to trade In human blood, and he furth-
efrfif'he was oposed to the destiny
that made a man a chicken thief oe
cause he happened to wake up near a
hen coop; He addressed three big
meetings in the "vicinity of the Chicago
uniyersrty tires airernooiu .nere ne
discussed militarism;'
Colonel Bryan began the day's pros-
gram at Handel hall where he address
ed a large crowd' and from -Handel hall
he was driven, escorted by Mayor Har
rison and a deputation of the Cook:
county democracy to the lake front.
There another great crowd was gather
ed and it was with the utmost difficulty
that the candidate .was piloted to the
platform.
At Handel hall Mr. Bryan said in
part:
"The single tax question Is not in
volved in this campaign, but my
friends I can understand why a single
taxer should be oposed to the repub
lican party, for the republican arty
asks the people to do things which they
are oposed to doing.;. The single tax
movement has given to the ' United
States a great man, for Henry George
George did all he could for humanity.
eGorge did all he could for. humanity.
He acted according to the best light
that he had and he tried to secure the
greatest good to humanity by the best
light that he could get.
"When our party advocates the elec
tion of senators hy a direct vote of the
people it advocates a policy which
tends to bring1 the government nearer
to the people so that the people can
make that government what they want
It to be. When we (advocated -an in-r
come "tax we simply insist that the
men who have much shall glye .much
to suport the government rand that mn
who have little shall contribute little
towards the support of the goven-
ment. Our plan is that the laborer shall
labor -with hope and that he may have
an oportunity to live.'v
In his -speech at the lake front Mr.
Bryan said in part:
"The republican party today stands
for a large army. When the campaign
opened Mr. Roosevelt started out. to
make fun of our objection to a large
army . At ietroix ne naa rour soiaiers
stand up before', the audience and then
he asked If they were afraid of these
four soldier. Who la afraid? That
fwas the way he first met our objec
tion's. But niy friends, that is no ar-

republican party offers him no such re-

"Republican In this campaign have
appealedr to the old soldiers. They
have threatened the soldiers with the
loss, of their pensions if the democratic
party wifls,, I am glad that the sol
dier's pension does not depend upon
the republican party. , I am glad it de

country which is recognized by all par
ties. And, my friends, I may suggest
here that' if I am elected president I

sioner of pensions who will be as satis
factory to the old soldiers as the pres

Pekin, ct. 31, via Shanghai, Nov. 2.
The foreign ministers held another
meeting today and ; further discussed
the French note. Considerable time
was devoted to discussing guarantees
to be demanded from China to prevent
the repetition of the outbreak. No de
cision was reached. There ia the,
strongest reason for believing conclu
sions will be reached on every point in
volved. General Gaselee, commander of the
allied expedition to Pao Ting Fu, re
turned today with a report from the in
ternational commission apointed to as
certain what Pao , Ting Fu officials
were responsible for the murder of
missionaries and converts there. The
commission found the governor, provin
cial treasurer and judge guilty. They
are in , custody -and Condemned . . to
death. Gaselee reports that the allies
at Pao Ting Fu destroyed the temples .
where the missionaries and others
were imprisoned prior to 'their execu
tion, and also destroyed the city wall
and the gate near the placerpf vexecu .
tion, and burned the towers, thus dis
gracing the city. American mission
aries have- returned from expeditions ''
to Chou Chou and (Liangh Slang, whetfe.';,
they 'collected indemnities and obtain
ed grants of land for murdered con
verts. . Rev. Mr. Ament, of the American
board of missions, says the inhabitants
of boxer villages are showing signs of
repentance and are offering Christians
land and money to rebuild houses.
Pao Timg Fui, Oct. 26. The committee
