BRYAN AGAIN
AT LINCOLN
Me Candidate Will Devote the Last
Dau of the Campaign to a
Trip Throiiflh the State.
SANGUINE AS TO RESULTS
Mr. Bryan Says That the Fight Ens
Seen Won An Answer to Mr.
Flint New York and Illinois the
Battle Grounds of the Campaign.
By Exclusive Who from The Assoilzied I'rcn
Lincoln, Nub,, Nov. 4. Colonel W. J.
Bryan nnd airs. Hrynn ttrrlvod at their
homo in this city at B o'clock this
evening, coming direct from Chicago.
They wore driven to their residence
on D street, whero Mr. Bryan will
remain until tomorrow morning, when
he will start upon a Hying trip
through Nebraska, devoting the last
day of the campaign to his own state.
When Mr. and Mrs. Uryan arrived
at Lincoln they found a large number
of their friends at the depot, nnd some
of the more zealous of them sent loud
cheers upon the appearance of the
Democratic candidate on the train
platform. Many of them escorted him
to his residence and still others were
found there awaiting his arrlv.il.
There were suggestions of a speech,
hut Mr. Bryan declined to yield to the
request, saying that Sunday was one
day which he reserved for rest and
that he hoped to be able to address
them some time tomorrow.
The trip from Chicago was compar
atively quiet. Mr. Bryan had with
held from the press the announcement
of the road over which he would travel
until the last moment, because ho de
sired no demonstration!) along the
line on Sunday.
Mr. Bryan was 'met at Omaha by a
number of his personal friends.
During the day Mr. Bryan was asked
for a statement as to the probable
outcome of the election. Jn reply he
said:
"The fight has been made and won.
Money nnd coercion robbed us of a
victory In 1S9B but I believe tboy will
be powerless to change the result this
time. The people are in earnest and
very few can be bought. Our organ
l7.Htion is much better than it was In
XS9S and therefore there is less danger
of fraud. So far attempts at intimi
dation have been rare this year where
thry were very common in 1S9C. and
even where intimidation has been at
tempted It has angered the employes
rather than coerced them."
Attention to Flint.
Mr. Bryan's attention was called In
the address of Charles R. Flint and
others who claim to be Democrats but
who urge Democrats to vote the Re
publican ticket. Mr. Bryan said that
he was very glad to lind that Mr. Flint
was supporting McKiniey and added:
"Mr. Flint is the leading member ot
the rubber goods manufacturing com-
jinny and is also connected with the j
starch trust. Ho has been the most
conspicuous defender of the trust
principles in the United States, bas
ing made a speech at Boston in May,
1S39, and another at Chicago recently
on that subject. I am glad to have nil
trust magnates support the Itopubll
can ticket for If I am elected they
will not be visiting the white house
nnd asking favors In return for cam
paign support. Our appeal is to the
jieojde who suffer from the trusts,
notvj the monopolists ho profit by
them. Next to imperialism and mili
tarism the trust question has done
more than any other to convince the
plain people that the Republican party
is entirely given over to the control
of the organized wealth. Imperialism
exploits abroad while private mono
poly plunders at homo and the large
army advocated by the Republican
party Is Intended to support tho 'ys
tem of spoliation at home and abroad. ""
When Mr. Uryan readied Lincoln to
night he had been absent from his
home for about live and a half weeks,
having left tills city on the 27th of last
September. Since the campaign began
ho has traveled 10,000 miles and deliv
ered COO speeches.
Tho greater part of tho tour Just com
pleted was made on the special car
"Rambler," which, for the most part,
was attached to special trains. Dur
ing the tour hpeeches have been made
In succession in Nebraska, South Da
kota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Ohio, New York, West Vlrglnlu, Mur.v
lapd, Delaware and' New Jersey. Itiei
dental visits were also made to the
states of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and
Connecticut. One set speech was tie
llvered at Louisville and another at
New Haven. Brief talks were mado In
two or three other Connecticut towns,
as were aiso in i'liiiaueipnin and Alex
nndrla, Vn.
The Battle Grounds.
In point of tlmo, New Yoik and Illi
nois have received more attention from
the national candidate than any other
two states. All told, eight or nine days
were given to New Yoik and about
seven days to Illinois, and in addition
to speeches throughout the two states,
Hie city of New Yoik and nrnoklyn p
tho one and of Chicago in tho other
were quite thoroughly canvassed. In
diana and Ohio have iiImi been the
scenes of great activity on his part, lie
made two campaigning Walts to both
of tho last named states, In uddltinn to
Incidental speeches on special occa
sions. The campaign has been confined al
most exclusively to tho country east
of Lincoln and north of Mason and
Dixon's line. There have been several
speeches In Kansas and Nebraska, but
up to this date only tho eastern part
of these two states huvo received at
tention. Connecticut Is the only New
England state which has been visited
and only upon tho occasion of a visit
to LouUrllle did Mr. Bryan go south
of the Ohio river. Of the territory
covered, Iowa Is the only state In
which no speeches have been made.
Mr. Uryan has gone nil around that
state and has crossed it six or seven
times during the campaign, but he
has not done more In the way of cam
paigning than to shake hands with
the people congregated at the railroad
stations. Pennsylvania nlsn received
comparatively little attention, hut Mr.
Bryan stopped long enough In passing
from Delaware to New Jersey to make
one brief talk in Philadelphia.
Mr. Bryan's health has improved
from the beginning of his tour and he
hns never been under the necessity
of resorting to a physician, or advice,
or assistance. For the most part the
.weather hns been excellent and no
engagement to speak has been broken,
Mrs. Hryan joined her husband In New
York a week ago and has traveled
with him since.

CONDITIONS
OF ALASKA
General Randall, Upon His Arrival,
Found That Affairs of Nome Had
Readied the Critical Stage.
REIGN OP LAWLESSNESS
Labor Organizations Which Prevent
Ken from Working for Less Than
$1.00 an Hour Are Responsible
for Much Destitution Claim
Jumping the Order of the Say.
Relief Must Be Provided for the
Indians The Presence of Venture
some White Men Is Discouraged.
By Uxcluilie Wire fiom The Associated Pre;'.
Washington, Nov. 4. Brigadier Gen
eral George M. Randall, commanding
the department of Alaska, under date
of Sept. 20, at St. Michael, has sub
mitted his annual report. A great
deal of the report is devoted to condl
tlons at Nome, which he found upon
his arrival at a crltcal stage. It was
difficult to obtain convictions by jury
trial in the United States commission
er's court, which emboldened the law
less. Labor organizations prevented
men from working for less than 91.00
an hour, and were the cause ot much
destitution and want and destruction
of property.
Fully 1S.OO0 people arrived at Nome
In June, claim jumping was the or
der of the dny. Nearly every one
seemed to think he had a divine right
to take possession of a claim or town
lot wherever found. Many property
owners were disposed to defend their
rights by taking the law into their
own hands. The arrival of troops
prevented bloodshed and serious dis
order. On the request of tho chamber
of commerce, tho military took charge,
thoroughly examined into all com
plaints and where the sito of property
eould be determined, placed it in the
possession of the lawful owner. Cap
tain W. A. Bethel, who acted as judge
advocate in these cases, is highly
praised by General Randall.
The sanitary conditions were placed
under the charge of Major Charles E.
Ebert, surgeon, who has heretofore re
ported upon conditions. The energetic
efforts of the military improved these
conditions during the summer.
There were about GOO men working on
the beach at Nome with machinery at
one time, and many declined to give
answers concerning the prospects for
gold, while others admitted they were
taking out only from $4 to $6 a dav.
The beach was practically worked out
last year. The Tundra is believed to
be rich, but it would require large capi
tal to produce results. There is a large
area of country which has not been
prospected, where gold can yet lie
found, but it requires men of experi
ence to develop such a country. Gen
eral Bandall discusses the various
points where mining operators have
been In progress, most of which have
come to the knowledge of the public in
reports from Alaska.
Military Fost.
lie savs it has been decided to es
tablish a permanent military post on
the island of St. Michael. He recom
mends the purchase of two stern wheel
river steamers for operations on the
Yukon, and that all coal, forage ami
building material intended for Alaskan
posts be started from Seattle not later
than June IB, nnd shipped in sailincr
vessels for economy. Also that a cable
be laid from Seuttle. via Juneau and
Sgguay, to Vuldez, connecting with the
telegraph line now being built over the
all American route from Vnldess to
Fort Egbert and down the Yukon river
to Fort Michael. When this line Is
complete, General Randall says, the
military headquarteis should be in
Southern Alaska or at Seattle.
lie recommends a life saving station
In tho vicinity of Nome, ns tho tales
by death and drowning on the shores
of Bering sea are appalling and there Is
no knowledge of how many Hos were
lost. He also recommends that light
houses with fog whistles ho estab
lished In southeast Alaska nt tho fol
lowing places: i
Capo Fox, near tho Southern bound
of the territory: Cape Commann, en
trance from the north into Congas
Narrows; Five Fingers, in Frederick
Sound, also a fog signal at Nlnmak
Pass. Ho also recommends a military
reservation at Dutch Hnrlior an.l a
coaling station, und thinks that tho
need may arise nt some future Unto
for erecting foitlficatlons ut this place.
Gen. Randall dovotes considerable
spneo to the natives ot Alaska mid
says that tho Esquimaux has been un
noticed by those ho hns befriended
and has been allowed to die for tho
lack of proper caro nmi food. For
years lie lias extended ills hospitality
to ndventurerous white men and hla
hut has been tho shelter for ship
wrecked sailors and frost-bitten min
ers. From nil points Capo York, Tort
Clnrence. Topek, oaioilu Bay, Yukon

received of sickness, starvation nnd
mortality sso great that It pionilsod
to wipe out almost tho entire men.
Lieut. Jnrvis of the United States rovn

dall and the tug Meteor was placed
at his disposal for relief work and
about a hundred destitute (natives
tared far nt Nome, The revenue cut
ter B?ar has been distributing sup
piles to the destitute natives, while
other Jn the vicinity of Fort St.
Michael have been cared for by tho
commanding olllcep of that post. Tho
work of Lieut. Jarvls is highly com-'
imnded by Gen. Randall. Jn closing

DISHONEST DOLLAR

Dr.
Parkliurst Makes This State

Politics.
By Kxcluslvo Wire from The Avodatcd l'iei"s.
New. York, Nov. 4. The Rev. Dr.
Charles II. Parkliurst' ut the Madison
Avenue Presbyterian church, today
took next Tuesday's election us the ba
sis of his sermon. It was Dr. Park
hurst's church which Mr. and Jlrs. AV.
J. Bryan attended last Sunday, when
in New York. As Dr. Parkliurst's
topic for today wns announced u week
ago, the church could hardly hold Hie
people who came to listen.
Tho doctor said in part that patriot
Ism meant the devoting1 of ourselves
to our country, rather t'hnn our coun
try to ourselves. Xo patriotic Ameri
can could fall to recognize as one oC
the perils confronting America, the
Htrulned relations which exist between
the two competing classes of our
population. He added:
Alter tho presidential candidate, who to n con.
diderable eMciit stands m the 1rprCM.11t.1thc of
Industrial tllialhctlon, has been (Ideated ai It
is paid ho will he the tdtuatlou so far will not

the disaffection; it U tho diMtrcctioii that Ins
in.ido the candidate. And theie is t-uch uu In

rabid and irredeemable. 113 to liavn siicoeedid in
temporarily witerlot't'liiK a gicat political paity,

It H undoubtedly the fact, with ici;iril to tliN

that makes believe that it if n wholo dollar

quirements of troops engaged In active
warfare while away from their base of
supplies and in a hostile country where
provisions are scarce, left here yester
day with a. detachment of twenty-live
men from Troop A, Hlghth cavalry, for
experimental purposes. The men will
observe the same routine as if they
were engaged in an active campaign
against an enemy. The members uf
the board aie Captain S. "W. Fountain,
Eighth cavalry, and Captain S. AV. Fos

Captain and Assistant Surgeon J. D.
Polndexter, stationed at Fort Keno, ac
companied the expedition. A single
lation is supposed to contain enough
food to sustain a man a day and in its
package weighs slightly more than a
pound. The board has two different
emergency rations with which it will
experiment. The first is a ration pre
pared by the board after an examina
tion and analysis of the food prepara
tions used in nearly all-the Huro'ieun
armies. The board's observations and
conclusions aro embodied in the ration,
which wns manufactured under Its
supervision. The second is a. ration
produced by a company in Xew Jersey.
The New Jersey ration consists of tea
