- 1 ,r L- k ROASTING ROOSEVELT AT ROME, NEW YORK. A List of Prepared Questions Presented to the Governor Which He Declined to Answer-rBadly Hacked. Br Telecraph to tbe Horning Star. Komk, N. Y., October 24. At Borne a huge crowd gathered in the public tquare and the Governor addressed them from the balcony to which he was driven from the train. Two crowds of small boys followed bis carriage, those on one side shout infe "Hurrah for Bryan," while those tn the other side tried to drown their cheers with counter cheers for McKin h y. While the Governor was speak ing, a crowd Of juveniles, who ' had .uh?red immediately beneath the Governor, kept trying to annoy him by their boisterous conduct. The Gov ernor finally referred to them, saying: 'it is perfectly characteristic that those who are afraid to hear the truth shonld try to drown it by noise, and th it those who are afraid to talk them selves, should send children of imma ture ege to yell for them." . Tbe - boys continued their cries of ' Hurrah for Bryant" "What's the VMS -jfytf I mailer- with Bryant He's all right," "-nd again the Governor said: "One thing; if Mr. Bryan should come here again I ask that every Republican give him a respectful hearing, which re mark Was loudly applauded. Contin uing, when the applause ceased, he said; "Because the man or boy who takes the opposite course, shows him self either to be or about to be a thor oughly disreputable citizen." ' The Governor said it was eminently proper that the advocates of Mr, , Bryau should seek by disorder to -prevent free Speech and called attention to the disorder as being an object les son of greater value than he 'could preach. Some men in the crowd tried to ask tiie Governor a list of prepared ques tk as in printed form. He never heard then because the noise was too great in the men's vicinity, but several Of the circulars were flung into the car riage which the Governor occupied on h is return from the platform. He said to i lie Assoeiated Press reporter that " he vould not discuss them, and that the majority of them were for the at torney general to make answer to if he desired. Here are the questions: 1. Why did you not prosecute the canal thieves as you promised when you were a candidate for Governor? . 2. Why did you not commence ac tion before the claims were barred? -,3 Why don't you have a summons untied against the ice trust? The only, way to commence an action is by su m mons.

Bryan's Tour of the Two States; Winding Up at Wilmington. MADE SEVENTEEN SPEECHES. I The Trust and -Sixteen to One" Dis cussed A Talk to Farmers The Race Question Addressed to ' His Colored Auditors. By Telegraph to the Morning war. Wilmington, DEu,October24. Mr. Bryan made two speeches of some length in this city to-night after hav ing made seventeen other addresses during the day. Beginning at St. Michael's, n the eastern shore of Maryland, he spoke in succession at iton, Preston, Hurlock, Vienna, Salisbury and Berlin, all of which places are in Maryland; and at Frank fort, Georgetown, Milf ord, Harrington , Dover, Clayton, Middletown, Kirk wood and Newcastle, in Delaware. The audiences of the day were as a rule fair-sized, and a majority of them were thoroughly appreciative. At a few of the stopping places in Delaware there was apparent lack of enthusiasm. Questions Propounded and Answered. . The first of Mr. Bryan's night meet ings in this city was held in a big tent and while the meeting began some earlier Mr. Bryan did not appear un til 9 o'clock. He had a long and busy day and found it necessary to take an unusually prolonged rest after his ar rival in this city. The tent was crowded to suffocation. After intro ducing his speech by expressing his gratification at being present, Mr. Bryan took cognizance of a series of questions propounded to him by John P. Nields, of this city. These ques tions were as follows: 1. Will he, if elected President, as commander-in chief, immediately with draw the army from the PhiliDpine islands? 2. How soon does he contemplate that a stable form of government can be given to the Philippine islands? 3. How soon after a stable form of government is established does he pro pose that Congress shall declare the independence of these islands ? 4. How soon after a stable form of government is established and inde pendence is declared, does he propose that the American protectorate over the Philippine islands shall continue 1 5. Will he pay the obligations of this govern ment in silver or gold, if elected President? Mr. Bryan took the questions up and replied to them seriatim. As a reply to- the first question, he quoted from his speech of acceptance, saying: "I stated that if elected Presi dent I would convene Congress in ex traordinary session, and would ask Congress to declare the nation's policy to be to establish a stable government in tne rnuippine islands, as we are now establishing a stable government in uuoa; to declare our purpose to give independence to the Filipinos. as we have promised to give inde pendence to the Cubans; to declare our purpose to give protection to the Philippines as we have promised to give protection to the Cubans, and have for seventy-five years given pro tection to the republics of Central and South America." On the second question, he said: "No one has attempted to fix the number of hours or days or weeks or months necessary, but I will say this. that l believe that we could establish a stable government in the Philippine islands in less time than the tiepub lican party has established one in Cuba, and that I think I can promise you that our officials would not em bezzle, as Republican officials have embezzled Cuban money." To the third question he answered that in his speech of acceptance it wa s proposed to give them independence as soon as their stable government is established. The phrase and "as soon" means "immediately" in our language. I don't know what it means in . Republican. And answering the fourth question, he said: "If the questioner had. read my speech he would have seen that there was no limit on the protectorate, and we be lieve that this nation can assert tbe doctrine that when this nation helps a republic to stand upon its feet the ground whereon it stands is holy ground and that no king shall ever set his foot on it. On the fifth question, relative to pay ing the obligations of this government in silver or gold if elected President, be said: "I want the Republicans who want that question answered to first find out what the law requires, and then I want them to know that if elected President I will enforce that law just as I will enforce the law against trusts, and put striped clothes on big thieves as well as little thieves. But if you ask me to construe a Re publican law, 1 reply that I. shall not construe a law until it becomes my duty to enforce it." Bryan Asks Questions. Having replied to the questions, Mr. Bryan then propounded some of his own: He said: "Now, I want to ask five questions and when I ask these questions want some responsible man to answer them. Hardly fair for a man who has no responsibility to place his resnonsi bility against that of one who has re sponsibility placed upon him by a party, and 1 want your party leaders to an swer the questions that I am going to ask." Mr. Bryan then quoted from the- President's message of December 5th, 1898, recommending the increase of the army to 100,000 men, and asked if the Republican party, through any one authorized to speak, will declare that Republican success this fall means a standing army of loo.ouo in this country. The second question was: "If the Declaration of Independence is true, that governments derive their just power from the consent of tbe gov erned, I want to ask how you can buy the neat to eovern people, or secure title to them bv force?" The third auestion was: 44Is the Fili pino going to be a citizen orasub- 9" J tYi fnnrih mi An tin n "(Ian lect? you purcnase hlnnd J" trade with human The fifth question related to tne establishment of a protectorate in the Philippine islands, concerning whieh Mr. Bryan said: "Republicans say that we cannot protect the Filipino without a great Haul of trouble. We have protected lhA ranuhtics of Central and boutn America for seventy-five years, and we have no authority in those South American republics. We have never crnv Amed them, but we have protected them from outside interference. It hfta never cost an vt nine but it has hAAn valuable to them. "The Republican doctrine is the doctrine behind which the monarchies of the old world have hidden when they have wanted to plunder people under the pretence of protecting tnem nnm im a different protectorate." Concluding his presentation of these inquiries, Mr. Bryan Miid: ..wfcar. ft, -Rniihlieana cet through answering those five questions I will have sme more for them. The trouble is that the Republican party is not at tempting to meet the issues of this campaign." Mr. Bryan then took up the various other questions involved in the cam paign and presented his usual argu ments on those subjects. After concluding his meeting at the tent, .Mr. Bryan was driven to the Grand Ooera House, wham hn maH his last speech of the night to a con gregation composed largely of ladies, some of whom had held 'their seats there for three or fours hours. Trip in Maryland. Easton, MD.,October 24. The Dem- ocratio Presidential candidate last night abandoned railway coaches and other land carriages, for a trin on the water. He came down Chesapeake Bay from Baltimore to the hamlet of Clai- bourne, on the eastern shore of Mary and, and devoted the afternoon of the day to canvassing that section of the State. He left the boat at Claibourne, and from that point travelled by spcial train. . At St. Michael's Mr. Bryan epoke to a mall number of people who had con- k related there. Amoner those in the crowd were some colored people, and to them Mr. Bryan directed himself to some extent. Before speakinj? to the colored people, he referred tothequt-s tion of trusts, lie again charged that tho Republican party was suggesting no remedy for the trusts, and that the reason of this was, that the Republican campaign contributions came from the trusts. The Race Question. On the race question Mr. Bryan said : "It is' one of the strange things we see in this' campaign that the Renub ican party goes to a black man and urges that man to sav by his voto that the brown man in the Philippine islands has not a right to a voice in this government. And it seems to me that before a black man votes todis franchise a brown man, he had better find out upon what basis his own right stands, for if we deny to the Filipino the right to govern himself, wnat right have we to eovern ouri selves. It cost hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of dollars to give the black man the Declaration of Independence, and now we are spend ing hundreds and thousands, ye3, millions of dollars and wasting lives to take the Declaration of Indepen dence away from the brown man. Before the black men of this country vote the Republican ticket they had better look into the mat ter and find out what the chance of the black man is to be when we draw a race line and say that because a man in the Philippine islands is brown and not of our race we will tend a carpet- bag eovern men t over there and hold the government office over them by a standing army. We believe in tne Declaration of In dependence, and if we. have race problems to solve here we think it is better to solve them than to aro seven thousand miles away from home to get another race problem and enter upon its solution not here at home, but s far away from home as tbe Philippine islands are." Trusts and the Financial Question. Easton was the scene of a large gathering. This is the county seat of Talbot county, an important agricul tural center, and here Mr. Bryan ad dressed himself especially to the far mers. Referring to the trusts, Mr. rsryan told his bearers that tbey were especially dangerous to the farming community. in his speech at Preston. Md., Mr. Bryan made reference to the financial question in response to an inquiry. The question was, "Mow about 16 to ll" and Mr. Bryan said : "If you want to know about 16 to 1, will tell you. In 1896 the paramount issue was 16 to 1, but the Republicans have done so many mean things since then, that we are kept busy on the new things. Bat if a Republican disputes the 16 to 1 doctrine, tell him that we nave a Republican President, a publican Senate and a Republican House, and they have never attempted to change tne 16 to 1 ratio, and Mr. McKinley is now coining silver dollars at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other na tion on the earth. Until the Republi can party proposes to change the ratio, l object to their discussing tne ratio, When they propose to change it, we will discuss it with them." THREE MEN DROWNED. Employes on the Vanderbilt Estate Near Asneville, N. C. By Telegraph to tbe Morning star. Asheville, N. C, Oct. 24. G. G. Graham, Robert Earwood and Richard Russell, employes on George W. Vanderbilt's Biltmore estate, were drowned in French Broad river to day, nine miles south of Asheville.

The rebels are actively recruiting, and are now estimated to number 10,000. There has been no pitched battle. The Chinese General commanding at Hui Chow is afraid to leave the city for fear of being cut off. U. S. Troops in China. Based on General Chaffee's advice. the War Department officials are of the opinion that all of the American troops included in the order of evacu . ation have not only left Pekin, but probably are now at Tien Tsin or near by. Tbe quartermaster's department has made ail arrangements for takinsr them aboard ship, so there is no longer much danger of the troops being pre vented by ice from leaving northern China. It is now said that in all probability Gen. James H. Wilson, the second in command in China, will soon be de tacned and will not remain in Pekin, according to the original programme. Instead of having the negotiations for a final settlement conducted through ayiuiiy organized commission on be half of the United States government, as it was first proposed, it begins to ap pear that they will be conducted, if there are to be any formal negotia tions, through the simple mechanism of the American legation at Pekin, the proper credentials for the purpose be ing dispatched to Minister Conger.

Count Da Quadt said that he was able to give a categorical and very positive statement and of highest authority, that the agreement involved no menace what ever to any Power concerned in China. He said this applied to all the parties which had taken a hand in Chinese affairs. Count De Quadt statea with equal positiveness that there was no foundation for reports of further or additional features to tbe agreement, beyond those transmitted to the various governments and made public.

October 24. A negro woman named Carry Caldwell, who lived in the northern part of MecKienourg county, this morning miied ner three children ana com mitted suicide. The woman cut each of the children s throats with a razor and then drew the same instrument across her own throat from the effects of which she died some hours later. At the time of the crime her husband was away from home. The woman's brother was at tbe house and she sent him on an errand to the barn and when he returned he found the three chil dren dead ana the woman gasping from a gash which she had inflicted in her own throat. A physician was sum moned at once, but too late to save her life. The children were aged six, two and four years and their mother about thirty-five.

O Bean tin Signature of , The Kind You Haw wwajs wngra A A STRANGE ANOMALY THAT KING OF AMERICAN FISHES, THE SHAD. FOOD It Is a Salt Water Fish, Tet It U Only Known In Fresh Water its Ocean LUe and Habits Are a Mystery to Scientists. The shad is the king of American food fishes. As soon as winter is fairly gone this splendid creature appears in count less myriads, and from Florida to Maine it furnishes one of the most valuable of the "harvests of the sea." It may be considered an American fish, for the Eu ropean maifisch," that resembles it on the other side, is far inferior to it. The flesh of our shad is rich without being oily, and has a flavor unequal ed even by the salmon. Unimaginative science has recognized this Quality in the technical name given to it and knows it as the AIo sa sapidissima, the most toothsome alosa, and no one who has tasted a "planked" shad will criticise the title. The shad is a member of the herring family, an immense tribe that includes the sardines, the alewlves, or "river her rings, and many well known fishes, and, like them, it is a salt water fish. Little or nothing is known of its ocean life. The parts of the sea to which it resorts, tne rood it eats and its movements when la its true home have not been deter mined, and it presents the strange anom aly of a sea fish known only in fresh .water. Like its kindred, it moves in great shoals, and to this fact the family owes its name, for the word herring came to us from an old German term meaning army. The movements of the ahad seem to depend on the temperature of the water, and a late spring will delay their, coming very materially. Tbe annual run into the rivers is solely for spawning, and they appear in almost regular succession, according to latitude. 'About the middle of November' the run commences in St. Johns river, in Flor ida, and the first orsecond week in Jan- nary finds them in the Savannah and Edisto.- Somewhat later they enter the streams of North Carolina, while April is usually the month in which they are .most abundant in the Potomac. By the middle of May they have reached New Brunswick, and their season is over. The tuno they stay in fresh water varies, and it seems that under some circumstances they may remain in the rivers throughout the year, and occasionally one is taken in midwinter, but as a rule they are found only in the spawning season. Shad were formerly very abundant and went for long distances up the rivers in search of spawning grounds. The reck less building of dams cut them off from the spawning beds and so diminished their numbers until they seemed threat ened with extinction, and the shallows on which the eggs are laid became clog ged up by the sawdust and other refuse that a shortsighted public policy allows to be thrown into streams. The fear of the loss of this important industry was one of the causes that led to the estab lishment of the United States commis sion of fish and fisheries, and it is mainly by the efforts of this bureau that it has been restored to its importance. This has been effected by artificial cul ture. The fish commission has seVferal stations situated on noted shad streams and a steamer, the Fishhawk, that is practically a floating hatchery that fol lows the fish, and in these millions of young shad are hatched. The "ripe" fish are captured on the way to the spawning beds, and the spawn is gently pressed or 'stripped" into tin pans and fertilized by milt taken from the males by mixing eggs and milt together. The eggs are then put into the hatching jars, and then the fry develops. The jars are arranged so that the water flows in through a tube' that reaches nearly to the bottom andr flows out through the top, the cur rent keeping up a boiling motion in the mass- of eggs. All the -dead eggs rise to the top and ere carried off into the waste pipes, so. that they are not dangerous to the living ones. The living eggs are heavier than the dead ones and stay near the bottom, so the hatching jar sorts them out automatically. Inr from 3 to 15lavs. according to the temperature of the water, the fry begin to hatch. A young shad is about one- third of an inch long and is almost trans parent, and to this Invisibility it owes its escape from enemies. As soon as it -hatches the young fish rises to the top of the jar and is carried by the current of water into a large collecting tank, where it stays until the whole lot is hatched. The fish commission gets about 08 per cent of fry from the egg9 it pro cures, including unfertilized and dead eggs in the count. A pair of shad yield from. 15,000 to 30,000 fertile eggs, so if but-two in this number reach adult age the number will be maintained. This means that in nature only from 1-150 to 1-75 of 1 per cent survive. As sod as possible after hatching Is complete the young shad are planted. The'fish commission cars are loaded with tanks filled with fry and dispatched to tbe rivers into which the tiny fish are put to reappear some four or five years later -as fine, luscious food. Richly endowed by nature as is our Pa cific coast, one valuable gift was missing. .The shad is not a native of the Pacific, and soon after tho fish commission, was organized it was urged to try to intro duce the fish into these new waters. No snch feat had been attempted before, but Professor Balrd, aided by Dr. Turleton H. Bean and Livingston Stone, finally succeeded in carrying the Atlantic fry. across the continent and planted them in the Sacramento river. Other plants have followed, and the fish is now abun dant from Mexico to 'Alaska. Had the commission done nothing but this it WouldThave more than paid for its cost- Washington Star.

COTTO'i MARKETS. Bv TelegTaoh to the Harnibe Star. NEW Y0BK,0ct 24. There was very active liquidation in cotton to-day after ! the market had opened at au advance ; oi tnree to reven points on early caoies from Liverpool, which were higher. 4iOcai sentiment was bearish, and as the Liverpool market not only failed to hold but closed at a cet loss of 1 to 6 64d, the lecal situation became very unsettled. Prices broke twenty five to thirty points from tbe highest of the morning, extending the decline to over H since the reaction from the late bull movement set in. a few weeks ago. This led to some buy in e for a reaction, but- as a rule tbe only support the market had was from shorts, who were inclined to take profits. The basis fpr the selling was tbe generally favorable weather, with no frost and no indications of frost for the near future; also, the continued heavy receipts, the ab sence of public support, the retreat ing relation of exporters and spin ners in regard to spot centers. It was reported that the South, par ticularly in the Atlantic States, would hold cotton back, not beine willing to sell after so marked a decline, but the immediate movement kept local senti ment pretty weak. The decline was arrested towards the close by covering and a little buying for a rally. The market closed steady at a net decline of fourteen to twentyt-six points. New Yobk, Oct. 24.
