The Remainder of the jnoruing was devoted to rest; At 12:30 o'clock the governor was es corted to the Merchants' Exchange, where he responded to a hearty recep tion with a short speech. A carriage drive, planned by the local reception committee, with stops at various places of interest, was vetoed by Governor Roosevelt, -who instead took a horse back ride in the boulevards and Forest Park wirh D.

William J. Bryan opened his day's tour of Illinois in this city this morning. The train pulled into Qr.incy at 6:30 o'clock, and very soon after that hour Mr. Bryan was driven to Washington Park, where he was sched uled to speak. The candidate devoted himself to the general issues of the cam paign, saying that so large a crowd at so early an hour of the day indicated that the people were interested in them selves rather than in him. In this con nection he said: "As I pass along the streets and as I look into the faces of . some of the careworn women who-never get a chance to take a summer vacation at some exclusively. "We must," he said; "plant ourselves on th.e doctrine .that tall men tare created equal and , that gov ernments derive their just powers from, the consent of the governed. These doo trines found a place kx our plan of gov ernment mare th-an a century ago, and twe cannot afford to disc3iard them at this late day. (Sacred thJough they be, the Re publican party failed .to make iny refer ence to tiiem an their Philadelphia plat form." vHe said the reason the platform had not referred to -the Declaration of Inde pendence was found dn the fact that tihe party' was unwitting to express itself in behalf of the struggling Boers.

IJryau and IJoosevelt shook hands across the political chasm tonight at Alton. Their private cars came along side in the yards. Uach stepped upon the platform and recognized the other at once. -"Hello." said Roosevelt, thrusting forth his hand. "Iletlo," quoth Bryan, grasping tbe ex tended hand. "How is your voice" "It's rough as rhe Populist platform. How is yours, Colonel Bryan?'' laughed Koosevclt. "Min-e is as broken as Republican promises," retorted the Nebraskan, laughing, too. ' Then everybody laughed and cheered, the Democrats with Bryan shouting "Hurrah" for. him. and Roosevelt's fob lowers yelling for McKinley. The meet ing came wholly by chance and was as cheerful as it was picturesque. The Bryan special train stood on a sidetrack to let the Roosevelt special pass. As the trains came alongside each other a stop of several minutes was made. . Street Car Men Strike Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 9. All em ployes of the street railway company, wthich also owns ine oniy electric light- and power plant in the city, struck this morning, lt is the ODeninsr of the street Tair, and the suspension of sert vice as very embarrassing. The men pleasant watering place, I wonder how the husbands and sons of these women can find it in their hearts to support the policies which are today amassing great wealth. in the hands of ii few people with a rapidity never known before in the history of the world. I wonder how it is that men who are not interested in getting their hands into other people's pockets, but merely in keeping others' hands out of their own pockets; can support the Republican ticket, while to day the Republican party denies the principle of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and makbs this a government of the syndicates, by the syndicates and for the syndicates. ' "The Republican party is not pre pared .to defend its policy on any ques tion. When you challenge it to defend itself it talks prosperity to the farmer and a full dinner-pail to the laboring men. and that, is all it has to say. If the Republican party were to attempt to show iu what respect it has brought pros perity to the farmer, it would fail. But a Republican said the other day that the Republican party was in partnership with the Almighty. The Republican party claims to, be a silent partner with Jehovah, but the trouble is that instead of bejjig the silent partner the Republi c:ii party makes all the noise and Jeho vah is the silent partner of the concern. "Prom tbe wfly the Republicans talk you would imagine that the Republican party was responsible for a large crop when you have a large crop, and if the crop fails it was a warning to you never,, to desert the Republican party." Mr. Bryan referred to an editorial on the pension question w'hich appeared in an Omaha newspaper with which he was formerly connected. He said that the editorial referred to was printed long before he was connected with the paper, "yet I doubt not, be said, "that every old soldier will receive a Jeter in which it will be stated that I am the author of the editorial." "I hftvc already received ofie." shouted aa old soldier in the crowd. "I am not surprised," said Mr. Bryan. 4T know that they have misrepresented every thing that could be misrepresented. To d;iy they have not the least hope of carrying this election unless they have a bigger campaign fund than they have ever had before and they can coerce every voter that can be coerced." He paid especial attention to the farmers, saying that even though there had been advance in the price of some farm products the increase in price of articles of consumption had been so much greater as to far more than neutralize the advance in farm commo dities. Taking up the statement that money from this country is being loaned in Europe, he said: "Why don't they buy American lands instead of sending their surplus money nhro'nd?" and then reolied to his OWU question by saying that the only reply that could be made was that the Re publican policy was reducing values. A private individual could not put his money in manufacturing enterprises for fear that his concern would be sold to a trust and that he would be squeezed out. He declared that it Is his desire to destrdy all private monopoly because he does not want to see the doors of op portunity closed against the boys of the country. . Mt. Brynn closed -with n plea against imperialism. Speaking of the Porto Rican lull, he said: "lae principle in volved in I that measure is as- dangerous a.nd a-s damnable as has ever been exer cised by any- tyrant; in the world's his tory." In Alton Mr. Bryan spoke to thou sands of people. His audience, which assembled in front of tthe court house, is said to be the largest ever gathered tt.:.. mi,. ,1 l.Iotfl cmslrA TV i H 1 1U lun v 1 1 j . a tut; cuiiuiua.iv i , ,,. . his feat on. and some one yelled, ;iate U1"v off your hat like Teddy did." . g t.

He promptly tore down the -obstruction. This act was va riously regarded. Some one j cried: "Don?t tear down the flag; ' lotners, Yesterday's Winners and Those tbat Will Be in ther Contest Today.

HIGH POINT GETS WATER WORKS The Proposition Carried by a Practi cally Unanimous Vote. High Pointy N. C, Oct. 9.-Special. The water-works question was voted on and carried here today almost unani mously. There, was concerted action for the first time since the legislature grant ed the privilege of voting oh the propo sition. Before noon enough votes were cast to carrv it, and at the closing of the polls the vote stood 612 for' and 21 against. It calls for fifty thousand dol lars in bonds to run for thirty years at the rate of five per- dent v per annum. There is great rejoicing among citizens, a band is dispensing thrilling music, fire works are booming and bonfires are burning. .Speaking is in progress, con gratulating the town. The improvement will be the means of bringing large manufacturing enterprises here, which heretofore held off on account of no system of water-works. i FORTIT PERSONS KILLED A Floor Gives Way Under Weight of Unusual Number of People.

George D.- Mei klejohn, assistant secretary of war under the Hanna-M-cKinley ad minis taatiou, has written a. Setter to William J. Bryan, candidate for president of the United States, in which he denies that slavery tin tlhe "Sulu archipelago has been recog nized and confirmed by the republic of .the United .States. The fact that chattel slavery and polygamy in those islands have been up held by Mr. McKinley iand has satrapj does not disturb 'Mr. iMeikle-john. Io order to bolster up his contention he seeks to take advantage of a quibble by" protesting that the agreement between-. Brigadier General John C Bates, rei resenting the president of the United States, and His Highness," the sultan of Sulu, the Dato Rajah Muda, the Dato Attik, tthe ,.Dato Kalki, and the ato Joiaganain, is not a treaty. The agree" ment was entered an to by General Bates under instructions from the president and has been accepted as binding by this government. The Senate may not have ratified it, 'but it is not the way of the reigning .monarch to heed little details i provided for in the constitution and prec edents .established by presidents . who have realty had a degree of . personal i'n dependence and .mental health. The present seeker after sceptre and ermine feels, it is said, that he and his courtiers can manage matte Its in thin . land, and in lands that arev find aio not, a part of this,, without t he advico and consent of Congress or the people. But for all this, the argument does recognize human chattel slavery, and Mr. Meiklejohn denies it. iMav.Meiklejohn's letter follows; ' Washington, Oct. 8. Dear Sir: In the press reports yes terday of your address at Tipton, Ind., in which yon referred to the overthrow of haman slavery in the United States resulting from the success of the armies of the Union you iare also reported as raying an that connection: "We fought' then for the adoption of a constitutional amendment' that 'provided that no mM could own a slave, and yet before t he Philippine war is. ended we.. have the . Sulu treaty, which recognizes slavery." Permit me to invite your attention to the following extract from the letter of the Secretary' of War to Major General E. S. Otiis, commanding the United States forces in the Philippines, under date of October 27. 1899: "The Presi dent instructs., me to advise you that the agreement signed August 20, 1899, between Brigadier General John Cj Bates, representing the United States of the one part, the Sultan of Jolo, 1he lato Rajah "Muda, the Dato Attik, the ... Dato Kalki, and the pato Joakanian, of .the other part, is confirmed and ap proved, subject to the action of Con gress, provided for iin that clause of the treaty of peace between,, the United States and Spain which 'provides, tho civib rights and the political status of the native inhabitants of the territory , ceded to the United States shall be de termined by Congress,' and with the urn destanding and Hreseirvatian which should be distinctly communicated to the Sul tan of Jolo, that this agreement is not, to be deemed in amy way to authorize or give the consent of the United . States to the existence of slavery, in the arch ipelago, a thing which is made 'impossi ble by the thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States.
