' ' By Telegraph to the MornlmrBtar. CrNoniNATi, O., October 2L The' Democratic presidential, candidate, William Jennings Bryan, made : his first speech here to night for the pres ent campaign. He arrived on a special train-at 8 o'clock to-night, and went direct to Music Hall, where he- talked fgr an hour. Hon. Judson Harmon, formerly attorney general under President Cleveland, presided at the meeting and there were many other leading Democrats present. The doors were opened at 7 P. M., but more than enough to fill the hall were pres- ent before 6 o'clock. . The day was spent entirely in this State and the intinerary covered the country between -this city and Toledo. With the exception" of the Toledo speech, none of the others of the day exceeded twenty-five minutes duration each. ' . A majority of the places where stops were made were small towns, and as a rule the crowds were not large. There were, however, fine audiences at To- edo, Wauseon. Piqua. Dayton and College Corner, as well as here. Silver Horseshoe Presented. When Mr. Brvan'a snecial train rolled into the depot at Dayton, about sunset, there was a crowd of several thousand people assembled at ' that point. Mr.. Bryan had been notified that there was a desire to present him with a salver horseshoe from the Uaru- gari Liederkranz Society. . When the train came to a full stop and Mr. Bryan appeared on the rear platform he was greeted by prolonged and tumultuous applause. A committee of three ladies, representing the society, then pressed their way to the front of the . crowd and handed to him a box containing not only the horseshoe, but a colored portrait of himself, a gold mounted badge, and a letter explaining that in a contest in the society for the horse shoe- Mr. Bryan had received 1, 280 votes against 370 cast for President McKinley. Mr. Bryan responded briefly, saying: "I desire the ladies who presented this horseshoe to bear my greetings to the members of the Harugaii Society, and to say to them that while I cannot make them a speecn in uerman i can Mch danke lhnen.' 'Tell them l am glad to know that the Bepublican ap peal to the Germans has been in vain, and the Bepublican appeal has been in vain to other portions of our popula tion, for while the Germans want good money they want good government also. I am obliged to the Germans fotthis horseshoe and am grateful for the large majority by which it was voted to me. -1 believe that if we suc ceed in driving every trust out of the United States, reducing the standing army to its former siz9, and in saving this country irom tne menace oi im perialism, the blessings of the Demo cratic policies will 'be so universally recognized that tne people wux never take the horseshoe from the White House door." , Arrive io Toledo. Toledo, 0 Oct. 31v Colonel and Mrs. Bryan arrived m the city at 9 o'clock this morning, coming direct from Dunkirk, N. Y. They were met at the railroad station -by Mayor and Mrs. Jones.

Me was receivea oy cneen from a big crowd gathered about the depot when he left his car, and also found a large, number of people grouped about the hotel 'when he reached it. They cheered heartily. In his speech Mr. Bryan gave con siderable time to the plea of prosperity. On that subject he said : - - The Dinner Pail Argument. "Tli.

Prance Makes Reply That With Regard to Article Three She Reserves the " ' Right to Safeguard Her Own t'f; : Interests- Japanese Reply. By Telflgraps to the Horning Star. : WSHmaTOir, Oct. 3L The State Department to-day made , public, the British-German agreement respecting tha maintenance of the "open door" and territorial integrity , of . China, with the answer of the United States government, sent in duplicate to each of the principals- to the agreement. The answer is as follows: , , Mr: Hay to Lord Pauncefote De partment of State, Washington, Oct. 29. Excellency I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 23d of October, enclosing the text of an agreement between Great Britain and Germany, , relating to affairs in China, which was signed in London on the 16th instant hy the Marquis of Salisbury and the German ambassador - on- behalf -, of. their re- ' spectivc ; governments, and inviting the acceptance by tne united states-oi the principles recorded in . that agree: ment. These principles are: "1. It is a matter of joint and per manent international interest that the ports on the rivers and littoral of China should remain free and open to trade and to every other legitimate form of economic activity for the na tions of all countries without distinc tion, and the two overnmenta agree on their part to uphold the same for all Chinese territory so far as they cm exercise influence. - "2. Her Britannic Majesty's govern ment and the Imperial German- gov ernment will not on their part make use of the present complication to ob tain for themselves any territorial ad vantages in Chinese dominions and will direct their policy towards main taining, undiminished, the territorial condition of the Chinese Empire." Tne United states nave heretofore made known their adoption of both these principles. During the last year this government invited the Powers interested in 'hina to 30m in an expression of views and purposes in the direction of impartial trade with that country and received satisfactory assurances to that effect" from all of them. When the recent troubles were at their height, this government, on the 3rd day of July, once more made an announcement of its policy regard ng impartial trade and the integrity of the Chinese Empire and had the gratification of learning that all the Powers held similar views. Ana since that time the most gratifying harmony has existed among all the nations concerned as to the ends to be pursued, and there has been little divergence of opinion as to the details of the course tot be followed. It is therefore with much satisfac tion that the President directs me to inform you of the full sympathy of this government with those of Her Britannic Majesty and the German Emperor in the principles set forth in the clauses of the agreement above cited. The third clause of the agreement provides "3. in case of another power malt ing use of the complications in China in order to -obtain under any form whatever such territorial advantages, the two contracting parties reserve to themselves to come to a preliminary understanding as to . the eventual steps to b taken for tbe protection of their ow interests in China." As this clau9 refers to a reciprocal arrangement between the two high contracting powers, the government of the United States does not regard itself as called upon to express an opinion in respect to it" (aignea.) jouhxiay. A similar note, mutatis mutandis. was addressed upon the same day by the Secretary of State to the Imperial German charge d'affaires. Japan Assents to Agreement London. October 31.

The letter was' .written in connection with the information that the Rev. A. M.
