Memphis, Tenn., Oiio'jer 5. The visit of Mr. Bryan to Memphis was made the occasion of a general holiday. Business houses closed their doors and even the banks suspended for the day. It was 1020 a.m. when Mr. Bryan, un der escort of the Neely Zouaves, and accompanied by the local reception com mittee, reached Overton tract, a big open field where the speaking took place. He found there a dense crowd, estimated at 15,000 people. The audi' ence was not composed wholly of Mem- phians. , Large contingents not only from Arkansas and Mitsisiippi. but from Alabama and Kentucky, with, of course, large numbers from near by places in Tennessee. - Shrill cheers, that increased in inten sity, went up from the assemblage as Mr. Bryan came in Bight and the volume oi sound became deafening as he mount ed the covered platform .erected in the centre 01 tne neia. un tne stana wnn Mr, Bryan were Senator Harris and Bate, of Tennessee, E.

Senator Harris presented Mr. Bryan, who spoke for half an hour to the Tennesseeans present. Tne most interesting part of bis address was his comment upon the Congress ional fight in the Memphis district. He nrged voters to Cast their ballot for E W. carmack. the ailver Democratic nominee, who is opposed by Jostah Pat terson. Col. Patterson is a 'gold man. bat is supporting the Chicago ticket. weaving that tutu set Mr. Bryan con tinued : "My friends, I am not here to inter fere in your State campaign or local politics. 1 am here to increase the en thusiasm, if I can, until the man who stands In the way of our complete sue cess will be branded as an enemy. Great applause.) How you may find it best to unify our forces, you are to judge: but, my friends. I want yon to remember that you cannot help our cause bv helping those who are fighting us. (Great applause.) If we are right in the position we have taken, if the Democratic party is right in its plat form, then the man who does not stand upon that platform, no matter how good a Democrat he may have been before, is no Democrat now. (Applause.) And no man can claim to be a friend 01 mine who says that be wants to elect me because I am the regnlar nominee, and then go down there and tie my hands and make me powerless. (Applause) I could not feei the interest that I do in this campaign if all I had to commend me was party regularity. (Applause ) I appeal to yon on higher ground tnan that. I have a stronger claim upon your support than can be givsn by regularity of a convention. I stand by the right of the American people to nave a nnan cial system of their own (great applause). and. therefore. Tny candidacy cppeals to every American citizsn wno oeueves in the right of the people of this coun try to govern themselves, regardless of the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. (Cheers ) I am not appeal mg to any sentiment hostile to foreign- erg, but I say to you, my friends, that that nation does not deserve to be called a nation which accepts a financiar policy "ready maUeV trotn some other Tv, 1 1 1 vA V. n a nJ,M,l.4 fttA right of this people to legislate for them- s on every issue, they cannot drive tariff into this people with a pile driver. Mr. Bryan then spoke on the line of his well known argument, beginning: "The Republican platform does not say the gold standard is a good thing." He talked about a rising dollar and a falling dollar, and about not wanting a dollar so good that nobody could get any, follow ing familiar lines. ' ' On the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Bryan was conveyed to the Louisville & Nashville station, accompanied by a great crowd of enthusiasts, and at 12.10 p. m. he left for Nashville. Nashville, TeknV October 5. Great crowds greeted Wm. J. Bryan in his eight hours lourney through Ten nessee to-day. People thronged from the surrounding country to every sta tion where stops were made. Dirt covered men on horseback, with their trouser-legs staffered into high boots; scores of pretty girls in summer cos tumes, and negro cotton pickers were everywhere to be seen. Mr. Bryan trav eHed in a special train, paid for by those accompanying him. Arlington was the first stop after leaving Memphis, and several hundred people there pressed around the rear platform of the candi date car to shake bands with him The local military company, wearing uniforms and bearing arms, was drawn up won the. station platform. Browns ville came next, and the crowd there was large and full of enthusiasm. A tremendous crowd was at Hum boldt It numbered 6.000 or 7,000, and was packed deeply around a stand that hd , been erected near the railroad . cs. A pathway that had been kept for the candidate from the train to the stand was lined with yonng girls wear ing Bryan and Sewall caps, blue blouses and white skirts, who waved nags and shouted a sbnll welcome. There was wild cheering when Mr, Bryan appeared on the speaker's stand. A. Piece, Democratic candidate for Congress, introduced Mr. Bryan, who spoke in part as follows: "Fellow-citizens I was not expecting to find so large a proportion of the voters ot this connttv assembled here when our train pulled in. This is one of the largest crowds thai I have found at so small la town. I am very much gratified to find the interest which is everywhere manifest in this cause. It is an evidence that the people are investigating, and well may they investigate. I cannot but beliew that when the people under stand what has been going on under our present financial policy that they will arise in almost unanimous protest against It. We nave oeen maintaining a gold standard and in order to main tain that they have is.ued $262,000000 in bonds in the last three years to buy gold and maintain their policy, and the end is not yet. For the present our financiers are furnishing gold, and why not? Because they do not waet any bond issues before the election. That 1 the only reason. And yet to-night they are furnishing gold in such a way that nnder the present policy they can go down the dav after election and draw ont every dollar and force another issue of bonds. (Applause.) "Under our present policy, the bonded debt of this country does not depend upon the will of the people. It It not determined by what they think is best. or by what they are willing to pay inter est on, but Is determined ly those finan ciers who. under, the policy of the Treasury Department, are able to draw out sold and force an issue of bond s, and then draw out the gold to buy the bonds with, and demand another issue of bonds without limit no end to it at all: be cause.mv friends, when they issued the first $50,000,000 of bonds tbey drew out $18,000,000 ' of the gold Nashville, Tenn., October 5 When Mr. Bryan reached Nashville at 8.80 to night, he found that there were three speeches to be made f after bis bard day's work through the State. The first speech was made at Hat market, where deep lines of people cheered. An anil lery salute was fired bv Battery A, Ten- 1 nessee State troops, and a large number of political organizations took part in the escort procession. Twenty-six clubs were in line, on icot and norseoacE. Some contingencies rode thirty miles to be present. About three thousand stu dents from tne university aiso turnea out to-night. Excursion train had been bringing in big crowds ail day, ana long before Mr. Bryan arrived thousands Qf strangers augmented the crowds of people on the streets. ' The Hay market is a spacious enclosure estimated to bold 79,000 people. It was pretty well filled to-night, and the figures given of the audiences there range from 25,000 to 40,000. The gathering was like all those Mr. Bryan has addressed in Ten nessee wildly enthusiastic, ever ready to yell shrilly its approval of the na tional nominee's utterances and intense ly partisan in its expressed feelings. Senator Bate Introduced Mr. Bryan, and the closely packed people cheered themselves almost hoarse. He spoke as follows: " - V Ladies and Gentlemen: It was my good fortune to visit Nashville more than a year ago, when we were beginning the fight which secured the control of the Democratic National Convention. I remember with pleasure my visit then, and It gratifies me much upon returning to find that the sentiment in favor of the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of ooth gold and silver at the present leeal ratio Of 16 to 1 (cheers) with jut waiting for the aid or consent of any nation on earth, has ex panded until to day a vast maiority ot the people of Tennessee are arrayed under a double standard banner. I bee to - thank the young men who have opened this meeting with oar cam paign song' our battle hymn it might be catted, for in this fight for the detense of the homes of this land, the bumble. home as well as the political, as well as the palatial home, we well might take ai our battle hymn that most biautnui ct an songs, "Home, Sweet home." (Cheers) "Oar warfare is in on j sense aggres sive, in another sense it is defensive. It is aggressive in the sense that we are aking for remedial legislation.' It is aeeressive in the sense that we are in sisting that something shall bsdone, and it is defensive against tea: we" are fighting for our homes and our people from the invasion ot a foreign financial policy. (Cheers.) we nnd arrayed aeainst us tne same combinations, the same aggregation of wealth and the same aouse against him; we meet the same intolerance that he met; we suffer from the same abuse that Jackson suffered from; every name is applied to-day to the advocates of free coinage that were appied to "0:d Hick ory, when be fought for the American people. (Great cheering) It has been the lot cf those who have espoused the cause to be denounced and abused bv those who favor the gold standard. It has been the lot oi those who have defended the cause of the com mon people to be assailed by . those who doubt the capacity of the people for self-government and would deny to tbem the right of eating the bread which tbey earn. (Cheers) In declaring in favor of bimetallism we are standing upon ancient ground. The free coinage of silver is no experiment It is endorsed by Jhe history of the human race. It has the sanction ot all the great statesmen of this nation from the beginning of our constitutional his tory down to 1873. No person will assert that the American people aban doned bimetallism after a full and com plete discussion. If yon read the records of the time you will find that the news papers which are so quick to graspvp any item ot news and so ready-t3pread it before the public didnot understand and explain that the law of 1878 demon etized silver and left us with gold bnly as .oar standard money. Ever since that day weiave been seeking to undo what was done in the dark, (Cheers.) "My friends, that man who talks about our not needing any more money in this country is a curiosity. I have always noticed that the man who thinks we do not need any more money happens to be the man who has the money. (Cheers) Let me sho w you that onr financiers them selves acknowledge our need of money. Our foes rejoice at the money coming here frcm abroad. If we have enough money in this conntry now, why should we want a single dollar to come .from any other country? Do we want too much money in this country? Nobody wants too much; we all want just enough. My lriends, whenever we ad mit that we ought to have any money come from abroad, we admit that there is not enough, and when we admit that there is not enough money now, then I assert that it is better to let this country get it out of our own mountains than to go abroad and . borrow money to be paid afterwards with interest. (Cheers ) But they ask us how are we going to get hold of this money even if there is more. It is a very easy question to answer. It ia true that you cannot get money until you have something to sell, but it is iust as true that every producer of wealth has'something to sell, and the price that he gets for what he has to sell depends upon how much money there is to buy what he has to sell. (Cheers) "When a man asks yon bow you are going to get any of this money unless you have something, let me give you a question to ask him: 'Suppose I have something to sell; how am I going to get anything for it until I find somebody with money to buy what I have to sell?' (Great applause.) "My friends, we have lost some Demo crats in this fight, but I am very glad that most of those whom we lost were generals. We have not lost many pri vates in the army. (Applause.) We might have kept all the Democrats who are gone if we had been willing to pay what they asked. - "My friends, we have not lost by it. It has been onr gain. It .is always true that those who dare to do everything right are rewarded in the long rnn, and the Democratic party is receiving its re ward, not even waiting for the long run, receiving its reward right eow, for dar ing to do right at Chicago. (Cheers.) We are drawing in our ranks those who are la the Republican party for bimetal lism.'1.' ,v- : -.w,-" -: "They have come to us because they see bow that the only hope of inter national bimetallism is a delusion, and that it is used only as a cover, while the leading Republicans are attempting to fasten the gold standard permanently npon the American people.- And not only are we gathering from the ranks of the Republicans, but the Populists in their national convention were willing to go outside of their own party lines to nominate as their candidate for the Presidency the man already nominated by the Democrats and free silver Re publicans. "Here, where you still cherish the memory of New Orleans here, where yon still believe in the right ot the people to govern themselves here, where you are true to the traditions of the Demo cratic party I have no fear that you will filter now, in this supreme conflict between .Democracy in its broadest sense on one side, and on the other every enemy of this country and every man who would use government for the purpose of private gain." (Cheers ) Mr. Bryan ulked for an hour, and was then taken to Athletic Park. Here he iound an immense throng, almost as large as that at the former place. His speech at Athletic Park was very brief. ; The third address was at a Populist meeting in the public sqoare. The Pop ulist State organization had sent a dele gation to Memphis to see Mr. Bryan and it obtained from him a promise to ap pear at their demonstration. Mr. Bryan said a few words only. He expressed bis appreciation of the honor done him by the Populist party and also his grati fication that the Democrats and Popu lists had been able to unite upon an electoral ticket in so many of the States. He said that while be would take no part in local affairs, be did feel justified in ur ging those who believe in free coinage to concentrate their votes in such a wav as to defeat the common enemy. Where fusion is accomplished, the fusion ticket deserves the support of all the friends of silver. He said that it fusion was not arranged- in Tennessee, he hoped the Populisia would cast their votes for the Democratic electors and thus make their, election certain, as to vote for the Populist electors, who had no hope of election, would be an aid to the Republicans. - At midnight Mr. Bryan left for In dianapolis over the L. & N. Railroad. He will breakfast at Louisville at 6 o'clock in the morning and make his first speech at Jefferson vllle, Ind. SEABOARD AIR LINE Vioe President St. John Denlea Rumors of a Deal With the Boothern BmtVway Co. . Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. - I New YoRK.'Oct. 5. Ia regard to the reported purchase of the Seaboard Air Line by the Southern Railway. Mr. St. John, vice president and general mana ger of ths former Itne sends the follow ing statement trom Portsmouth : "You can state that there is not a word of tiuth in the rumor recently put forward to intimidate stockholders and with a a view of causing a pinic among tbem in the hope that they will dispose ot their valuable securities to the Southern at a low figure. So long as the people stav with us, the competition, which is so necessary at this time, and in all the future, tbey will doubtless secure; and this statement will unquestionably be borne out by the result of next Tues day's annual meeting at Portsmouth. The stockholders of the Seaboard, can not be stampeded in any such way as that proposed. Baltimore, Oct. 5. The directors of the Seaboard & Roanoke , Railroad, which is the present compiny ol the Seaboard Air Line system, held a meet ing to-day in President R. Curzon Hoff man s office in this city to discuss the affairs of the company and examine the annual report preparatory to its presen tation at the stockholders' meeting to be held at Portsmouth, Va. The directors present at the meeting were Messrs. R. Cuizon Hoffman, who presided; Louis McLac and Charles D. Fisher, of Balti more; W. w. Fuller, of North Carolina; Leigh R. Watts, of Portsmouth, Va., and Moncure Robinson, of Pnlladelphia, vice President and General Manager St. John was also present by invitation of the board. The meeting was held behind closed doors, and if reports be true it was not marked by the same harmony that In times past has characterized the direc tors conferences. Various rumors were afloat as to what transpired at the meet ing, but these could not be confirmed. They referred to the retirement of Presi dent Hoffman at the annual meeting to morrow, if his course in the rate war was not approved by the stockholders. Another report was to the effect that Vice President St. John would retire. In regard to this last rumor, however, it may be stated that Mr. St. John has a contract w.th the Seaboard Air Line, which still has several years to run, and he is not likely to voluntarily surrender a position that pays him $15,000 unlesi be has something better in sight. He may. however, be forced out. President Hoffman issued another circular to stockholders, advising them not to sell or give options on their holdings, seating that the stock was wortbnah more than par and giving Jr-zani uppeared to him to be good rea sons ior the opinion. -The directors and some of the largest stockholders lelt for' Portsmouth to night to participate in to-morrow's meeting. There the real battle for con trol of the property will be fought. Both factions claim to be confident of victory, and the outcome of the fibt between President Hoffman and Gen eral Gill is looked forward to with great interest by financiers. A rumor was in circulation this evening that the Ports mouth meeting may be, postponed. FLORIDA'S STATE ELECTION. It Will Take Flaoe Te-dy TJoderthe Aus tralian Ballot Syetem. - By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Jacksonville, Fla., October 5. The election in this State to to-morrow will be a triangular fight between the Demo crats, Republicans and, Popuhs s. The gold Democrats will have no ticket in the field, having indorsed the regular Democratic ticket. Tney will, however, have an electoral ticket up for the No vember election. Officers to be voted for are: Governor. Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Superintendent of Schools, Commissioner of Agncul ture, Attorney General and Justices of the Supreme Court. Members of the Legislature, which will choose a suc cessor to Senator Wilkinson Call, will also be elected, and also county officers. The Democratic nominee for Governor is W. D. Bloxham. E. R. Gunby for the Republicans and W. A. Weeks for the Populists. The last Legislature repealed the eight-box or South Carolina law and substituted the Australian system. Tne old law. the Republicans claimed, dis franchised tbem. They have made a weak fight under the new system, dis affection having existed in their ranks until too late to heal the factional differ ences. Several amendments to the Constitu tion are to be voted for. The most im portant is to change the day of the S ate election to the first Tuesday in Novem ber. This and all others will probably be adopted. WARM WIRELETS. The Treasury gold reserve, at the close of business yesterday, stood at $125,103,896. The day's withdrawals were $122,900.

Havana "ai A Tampa, Oct 8 Since September 25th the rebels remain in the outskirts of Gaanabaco, and the Vibora (beyond Jesus Del . Monte. Havana su burbs) firing at the forts of both places. This is reported by Spanish officers, but not published by the papers. No news hatever ol rebels can be published. Oaly the reports given by the censor can be published. The censorship is stricter than ever; proof that things are not fa vorable to the Government. The office of chief of police, cor responding to colonel ot the army, has been given to Commander La Barrera, because no colonel of the armv has been filing to accept the cffi;e under the conditions of dishonesty and cruelty im posed bv Weyler. Awful crimes are committed every night bv order of Li Barrera and Gov ernor Porrna (one of the same type as L.I Barrera). .very night at the police headquarters some prisoners are taken out and put on the books as released. These individuals are guarded by one Calador" (police delegate) and two policemen and taken between 1 and 8 a. m. to a landing place at the entrance of the harbor, two blocks from the police headquarters. Once there, the prisoners atd the three policemen step in a boat and start off. They don t land anywhere, but alter a while the officers come back without the prisoners. This action has .been watched, night after night. From the 1st of September to the 29th sixty-three prisoners have dis appeared in this way, drowned out side of . the Morro. The two last ones were drowned September 2o.h. Tbey were an old man and a young man. On stepping in the boat the old man asked where they were bound to. The young man said, "Why, don t you knowf We are going to be murdered! t ne policeman gave the young man a blow which knocked his eye out, slapped and kicked him and then started, and they never came back. From the Cabanas and Morro, prisoners are taken out and drowned in, the same way. The reason why they are taken out of the harbor is on account of the immense number of sharks which get hold of the bodies and leave no trace. - The families ot officers living in Morro Castle and the Cabanas have made a complaint of the lamentations and Cries they bear late in the night. The cries are attributed to prisoners ill- treated and taken out. On the 83rd of September, a fisher man notified the police of the presence of two dead bodies lying on the seashore. next to the Moiro. These bodies were dret ssd like country people, about 50 and 20 yeats of aze. The elder one showed two bullet wounds on the back, five bay onet wounds in the stomach and ch;st and throat. The young man had a bul let wound in the loin and several bay onet wounds in the body and threat. Their hands were tied behind their becks and pieces of rope tied to their necks. The bodies seemed to have been in the water for some time. The bodies were witnessed by a number of people ho were driven away by Spanish soldiers. The wounds were made by Mauser bullets. Last Thursday night Brombin, Cara de Guaya and Soca, confined as suspects were taken from prison at night, carried a few miles outside of Havana and shot to deub. These men were noted on the police books as released. The news of the bomb loaded with fourteen pounds of dynamite found under a gas main was a fake. It was a trick of Chief of Police La Barrera, so stupidly managed . that the truth was soon discovered and everybody made fun of It. Two men have been arrested as hav nz placed , LiBarracas dynamite bomo Tbey are kept at the police station ; and tortured to make tbem confess. Tbe tor ture consists of feeding them with dry cqdfiib, and not allowing them any drink. No other food is allowed, and they die of starvation if they refuse to eat the salted cod. This is given as positive, and is said to have been the means employed by Weyler in B iree lona, and never fail to produce the de sired effect. Both parties, apanisu and rebels, are burning sugar mills. Two weeks ago nineteen were burned in Matanz is prov ince. In Havana province all are being burned. - In Tapaste, near Havana, thirty Span iards were overpowered and killed by the rebels.

To do away with this noise a German engineer has devised the following: He puts a decking of inch planks between the cross girders, resting on 3 inch timbers laid on the bottom flanges. On the planks a double layer of felt is laid, whioh is fixed to the vertical web of the oross girder. At the con sections with the girder a timber cover joint is plaoed on felt, and two hooked bolts connect tbe whole firm ly to the bottom flange.'' Four inch es' of slag gravel covers the decking, which is inclined toward the center of the bridge for drainage purposes. A layer of felt is laid between the planks and tbe timbers they rest up on and the iron work in oontaot with the decking and ballast is asphalted. The decking weighs 600 pounds per yard for a bridge 11 feet wide and costs 23 cents a square foot. It is Iwater, tight and has proved very satisfactory in preventing noise. New York Ledger. Showered With Gold. j The marshals of Napoleon were show ered with gold. Berthler bad 1,000,000 Ner. Davout. Soult and Besleree, 600,000 each: Massena, Angereau, Bernadotte, Mortler and Victor, 400,000 apiece, and the rest 200,000. But even this was nothing to what some of them secured later by holding several offices at onoe. At one time Berthler had a yearly inoome of 1.855.000 francs: Davout, 910,000;; Ney, of 738,000; Massena, of 688,000.; The ' ministers were able to eeonre salaries aver aging abont 200,000 francs, and embassa dors had incomes corresponding to their dignity. Caulalnoourt, the ablest of them all, had 800,000 franca at St. Petersburg wherewith to support tbe Imperial state of France. It is interesting to note from Napoleon's letters that he bad occasionally to admonish some or these gentlemen make use of their titles.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. . There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is mannlacturea by the uail fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
