BRYAN Nebraskan Replies to Argument Presented By Bourke Cockran. BOTH ; NOTABLES ADDRESS THE SAME AUDIENCE Civic Federation Conference at Chicago Closed In Brilliant Blaze of Oratory O uo conierenco on the nees ana abuses of trusts closed its seseion a Chicago Saturday in a blaze of oratory in which Colonel W. J. Bryan and W honiko Cockran were the central fig urges. Mr. Cockran followed the Ne brnskan, but disclaimed any intention of delating the conclusions of his im mediate predecessor, and declaring his complete ccrcurrence in much lha Mr. Bryan said. The westerner delivered the speech of the day during the forenoon, amid frequent f interruptions of tumultuous applause, and Central musio hall, the pcene of the Civic Federation confer enco on trusts and combinations, was packed from pit to gallery when be delivered his reply to W. Bourke Cock- rr.n on the trust question Mr, Brynn -was introduced by Gov ernor rjtnuley," of Jvnuens, who acted atf;chjurnian at the opening session. Wild applause greeted the Ncbrafkan TV T,.,.1. "I i i jiuiimo uvi'traa lisienea lnteriT t ana joined ircquently in the applause Mr. Biyan fpoke in rart as follows: "TAthin two years more trusts have teen organized than within the pre vious history of the country, and, the peopio now come lace to face with this question: , . is the trust a blessing or a curse? Monopoly in private hands is in defensible from any standpoint," and intolerable. I do not divide monopo lies. There can be no good monopoly ju private hands until the Almighty . scuda us angels to preside over ..us. Tho entire defense of the trusts rests upon a raouey argument. If the trusts will sell an arti io for a dollar less thivir the article-will' cost under 3 other conditions, thenr in thedjipiqn 7 .uv.V.p.VM .nf some, .that. -proved. afrusf A?W &od .jthiSg. Ja ibe Hiii place, Ydeyy inai nuner a monopoly the. price ib re ticcJ.'Iu the second ylpe.' if 1ipot-J objections to a monopoly from other standpoints far outweigh the financial advantage that the trust would bring. But I protest against settling every question upon the dollar argument. "In the early years of Lincoln's ad ministration he sont a message to con 4o gress, warning his countrymen ngainst tho approach of monarchy. He said ho paw in the attempt to put capital even upon nu equal footing with labor in the structuro of government, the approach of monarchy. Lincoln was right ii;cT;minn.lioT bv railroads has aided trusts. Tlat can be remedied by laws which will place producers on equal footing. But the remedy must be completely right to prevent the or ganization of a monopoly. Wo differ more in remedy than we do in our inn nf th trust. I believe in a stato remedy, but there must be a fed ernl remedy. "Congreps has, or should have, the nowcr to r!aco such restrictions and limitation?, even to the point of prohi bitiol,urou ftll7 corporation organized in ono state, tbat wants to do business outside of the state contrary to public good. Colonel Bryan at this point read the famous circular letter advertising the corporation laws of Delaware. He commented sarcastically on advantages eet forth in the kier and contined: I have read this letter in order to frhow you that where a state can gain an advantage frotS a corporation, from these aggregations of wealth, it is not safe to place the people of other states at the tender mercies of the people of Fuch a state as may desire to secure its running expenses from the taxation of corporations organized to prey upon peopio outside. "I am ready to adopt any method for the annihilation of trusts. One that I suggest is this: "That congress should pass a law providing that no corporation organ ized in any state should do business outside of the state in which it is or . ganized until it receives from some r.rtwrr ereated bv concrcss a license r.tl.r;irur it to do business outside of its own Btate. - "In my judgment, when you tako - ti rnwpr to issue a .tsir mn will co moro than half the way toward the destroying of monopoly in the United States. - "Some people have tried to sepenxto the laboring man who works in the factory from tho laboring mau who works on the farm. I wnut to warn the laboring men in the factories that they cannot eeperate themselves from those who toil on the farm without in viMnff their own destruction. iwKNTY.l iVE rEOPLE DR0WXEI). North Carolina Weather Iinr.n Ha. Im port of Awgnet Storm. The North Carolina weather bureau has finally secured the details of the death and damage by the great Augurt hurricane along the coast of North CWina. It appears that t-enty-hve HVes were lost. The greater part of these were fishermen drowned at Swan ls.nT: .-cf inR of all was to the crocs oa the maioland. TRUSTS Mr. Bryan closed as follows: "For 100 years this nation has been the light of all the world. For 100 years the best of all nations-hare look ed to this nation for hop and instruc tion. Let us settle these great ques tions that we "have before us; let. us teach tbo world the blessings of a gov ernment that comes from the people and let us show then how how prosperous people can be. I be lieve in the doctrine that God mda all men of the stfme dust and" did not make some to crawl oh hands and knees and others to ride nnon thair backs. Let us show what can be done when we put into actual practice those great doctrines of human ennalitv nrt of equal rights and make this govern ment what the fathers intend. that we shall lead the world step by step on to higher grounds." facing a sea of wildly wavinff arm- and a storm of cheers, the orator re sumed his seat. Three-quarters of the audience had been attraoted by the announcement of his appearance, ap parently, for that proportion left when no had finished. Mr. Bryan's second address and Mr. Cockran's reply came during the after noon. W. D. Foulke. of Indiana. heard after dinner in a short speech, in which he declared that he failed to see that the remedies trotoed Colonel Bryan in the latter's speech during the morning session could r- sult in the attainment of the object sought. - Colonel Bryan, who was Ritfinrr in the back part of the hall arose and amid cheering, started to reply. Be- ore ne naa uttered a dozen words. However, cries "take the clatform." came from all parts of the hall, and with a smile ho did so. Colcnel Bryan then said ja. part i nS: . -v- l jvdnld,not occupy the .lira Amin but for tne'jack that 4Va irom Indiana (Mr.Toulke) has rferrel-f, PtanWKn J TITirrrronfnrT "' " ' 1 BfanTT Mvblan was tnis plan vas tnis; "1. That the state should have the right to create whatever private cor porations the people of the state think best. ' "2. That the state has, or should have, tho right to impose such limita tions upon an outside corporation as tho people of the state may thln& nec essary for their own protection. That it is the right of the people of the state to say, first, what they shall organize in their state as a corporation; and, pecond, what they shall permit as a corporation to come from other states to do business in their state. "3. That the federal government has, or should have, the right to im pose such restrictions as congress mny think necessary, upon any corpor ation which does business outsitte of the state in which it is organized. Cockran Agree With Bryan. At the conclusion of Colonel Bry an's address Bourke Cockran arose and started to speak from his seat in the hall, but in response to cheering and calls to come to the front, he, too, took the platform. He said in part: "Just one moment while I express my complete concurrence in much that Mr. Bryan has said. "If there is a monopoly tnat op presses I believe that there is no limi tation, there is no provision of govern ment, there is no power on earth V against the people redressing a wrong when it becomes a wrong. "The question to which the atten tion of this conference should be di rected is -whether this ono exists and where it is. Now who' is hurt and where has this octopus got possession of somebody? On whom is it acting? Where is its lair? I amfree to confess that when you call an aggregation of capital a combination a hydra-head ed monster an octopus it aon t cast any light upon it that illumes my pathway. I can understand how the use of these phraies can have .some ef fect, as nothing frightens people so much as incomprehensible noises. (Laughter and applause). Let a noise be heard now that none of us under stands and we will all be going out of of the window. (Applause). Great cheering greeted, the conclu sion of Mr. Cockran's speech. General discussion was then re sumed. Ex-Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, and William Wirt Howe, of New Orleans, read short papers. Soon after, on the motion of Congress-1 man John W. Games, of Tennessee, the conference passed a vote of thanks to tho Civic Federation for the courte sy shown the visiting delegates. The conference then adjourned sine die. BRiTOXS OFF FOR NATAL.

A London dispatch says: Tho First battalion of tho Northumberland Fu 6ileers, 900 strong, and detachments of tho army service corps and ordnance corps sailed on the steamer Gaul bat- urday from Southampton, en route to Natal, amid great enthusiasm. The men appeared to be in splendid condition and openly anxious for fighting. OF CONSPIRATORS ON TRIAL. French Senate Organizes as a Court to Try Twenty-Two Prisoners. A Fans dispatch says: The French aenate met as a high court of justice Monday afternoon for the purpose of trying twenty-two politicians, includ ing MM. Demonicourt, Deronlede, Marcel-Hftbert, Thfebaud, Baron do Vaux and Jules Gnerin, on the charge of conspiring against the government. ; The procurator genera!, M. Bernard , read the long indictment. Not one of the accused wa present or in the palace at the time, but nine cells were fitted up for them in the library. President Fallieres opened the pro ceedings amid general silence by read ing the decree of the president of the republic constituting the senate, on the report of the minister of justice, into a high conrt to try the charge agaioitt the accused of making an at tempt on the security of the stste. M. Fallieres then declared the sen ate constituted a high court and the clerk of the court called the roll of pan at or, who answered with the word . 'I he indictment commenced by re citing the facts of the arrest of MM.

The program was tnen cnangcu to meet Mr." Bryan's wishes. Mr. Bryan said he was anxious to address the conference, repeated that his only reason for changing the program was to avoid anv indication of public de bate with Mr. Cockran. At the morning session workingmen, socialists, advocates of the single tat theory arid students of political econo my were heard on trusts and combi nations.

When Mr. Bryan maae nis appear- i anofl it -was the sicnal for tumultuous rheerinc which lasted until the ne braskau bad taken his seat on iue c . . . n . speaker's stand.

A combina tion may Be good or bad, according to its effect. For instance, a combina tion for prayer is a church. All gooa men would subscribe to the success of it. (Laughter.)

At the colonial offioo a reporter of the Associated Press was informed that nothing will be given out for the present. It was regarded as eignificant, how- j over, that the nature of tho Boer reply was communicated to tho commabder- in-chief, Field Marshal Lord Woleely, who immediately summoned General bir George Stewart White, V.

TWa Pana Tnwn papers themselves take a more hopeful view of. the situa- j tion, basing their belief on tne proo able acceptance by President Kruger of the franchise measures suggested in lit.
