ISSUES TO BE METOOL. WILLIAMJ. BRYAN DISCUSSES

IMPERIALISM AND THE AMER-ICAN FLAG

TWO NEW QUESTIONSTHAT MUST BE MET

ONE IS THE PROPOSITION TO IN-

CREASE THE STANDING ARMY

TO 100,000 MEN

THE OTH CR TURNSUPON WARS OF CONQUEST

Calls Attention to the StatementThat the Flag In to Be Pulled

Down in Cuba When the People

There Can Govern Themselven,and liiftlMn That the Same RuleBe Applied In the Philippine*.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 23.—C01. Wil-liam J. Bryan returned to Lincoln thisafternoon and was tonight tendered areception at the Oliver theater by theWoman's Bimetallic league. Thehouse was crowded and Col. Bryan re-ceived an ovation. He was introducedby Gov. Holcomb, who formally wel-comed him home, and complimentedhim for his oatriotism in enlisting inthe army.

After thanking his neighbors fortheir cordial welcome and compliment-ing the members of his regiment andCol. Vifiquain, In whose charge he leftthem, he justified his resignation asfollows:

I hi d five monifhs of pea.cc in the array,and resigned in order to take part in a fight.I am as much Interested "tv the people of theI'nltrd StaU's as I am in the people of Cuba,and unless I am mistaken in judging, we areojlled upon to meet more important prob-lems in the United States just now than willconfront our army in Cuba.

Some of these problems were under discus-sion before hostilities began; others havebeen thrust UDon us as a result of the war.Let me improve this, my, first opportunity,to assure you that my zeal for the reform?advocated « few months ago has not in theleast abated. Vital questions cannot be kill-ed or burled, and we were dealing with vitalquestions when the call to arms resoundedthrough the land.

The American people huve not accepted thegold standard aa final. It has wrought moreinjustice in our country during tha laattwenty-three years than Spain has wroughtIn all her colonies, and opposition to It willgrow until the gold and silver coinage of theconstitution Is fully restortd. The trustswhich now flourish in defiance of laws aremore merciless than Weyler was, and thanew trust—the paper money trust—which isseeking to obtain control of all the paperrrx,ney of the nation, is a greater inenoce tothe country's welfare than any foreign foe.

NEW QUESTION'S.There are, however, two new questions

Which demand immediate attention, becausecongress Is asked to act upon them at one«.The president recommends that the regulararmy be permanently increased to ICO.OOOmen. This question must be met now or notat all.

Taking up the subject of imperialism,Mr. Bryan said that the president hasinterpreted the sentiment of the peo-ple. They are opposed to giving thePhilippine islands back to Spain, butthey haA-e not as yet declared in favorof embarking upon a colonial policy.So great a change, he said, could notbe undertaken without more investiga-tion and deliberation than the peoplehad yet given to the subject.

The principal part of Col. Bryan'sspeech was devoted to the PhilippineQuestion. In this connection he referredto President McKinley's inquiry: "Whowill haul down the flag?" and replied:

The flag !s the emblem and Is obedient tothe national will. It w^b made for the peo-ple, uot the people for the flag. When theAmerican people want the flag raised theyraise it; when they want it hauled down theyhaul It down. The flag wv3« raised, uponCanadian soil during the war of 1812, and itwas hauled down wheu peare was restored.The flag was planted upou Chapultep^c dur-ing the war with Mexico, and it was hauleddown when the war was over. The morningpapers announce that Gen. Lee ordered theflag hauled down In Cuba yesterday, becauseit was raised too soon. The flag will beraised in Cuba again on the Ist of January,but the president declares in his messagethli-t it will he hauled down as soon as astable government is established. Who willdeny to the people the right to haul the flagdown in the Philippines if they co desire,when a stable government Is establishedthere?

FLAG OF THE UNION,Our flag stands for an indissoluble union of

Indestructible states. Every slate is repre-sented by a star, and every territory sees inthe constitution a ?tar of hope that it Will someday take its p'.ace In the constellation. Whatis there in the flag to awaken the zeal or re-flect the aspirations of vassal colonies whichare too good to be cast away, but not goodenough to be admitted to the sisterhood ofstates?

Shall we keep the Philippines and amendour flag? Shall we add a new star—a bloodstar, Mars —to indicate that we have enteredupon a career of conquest? Or shall weadorn our flag with a milky way, composedof a multitude of minor stars, representingremote and insignificant dependencies?

No, a thousand times better to haul downthe Stars and Stripes and substitute the flagof an independent republic, thin to surrenderthe dootrines that give glory to "Old Glory."It was the flag of our fathers in the yearsthat are gone; it is the flag of a reunitedcountry today; let it be the flag of our na-tion in the years that are to "oorne. Itsstripes of red tell of the blocd that was shedto purchase liberty; its stripes of white pro-claim the pure and heaven-born purpose of agovernment which derived its Justpowers from the consent of thegoverned. The mission of that flag is tofloat—not over a conglomeration of common-wealths—but over ".the land of the free, andthe home of the brave," and to that missionit must remain "forever true, forever true."

TO EXCHANGE SALUTESARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FORMAL

TRANSFER OF CUBA TO THE

UNITED STATES

FLAGS WILL BE SALUTED

American Warship* Will Fir*t Sa-lute the Spanish Ensign, WhileSpanish ArttIU-rintn Will FireTwenty-One Guns In Honor of theStars and Stripes Ceremonies atthe Palace to Follow.

HAVANA, Dec. 23.—At the jointmeeting of the United States and Span-ish military commissioners today theprogramme was finally agreed upon forthe exchange of flags on Jan. 1 at noon.Just before noon the American warvessels will flre a salute of twenty-oneguns in honor of the Spanish flag.Promptly at 12 o'clock the Spanishflags on the various public buildingswill be lowered, and immediately afterthe Stars and Stripes will be hoistedover El Morro, and the public build-ings of the city, while the Spanish ar-tillerists of Cabanas fortress will salutathe American flag with twenty-oneguns, Spanish warships in the harborparticipating In the ealute. At thesame hour the Spanish troops, If anythen remain in the city, will be parad-

ed in barracks and will render propersalutes to the American forces passing.

Just before noon the American andSpanish commissioners, Gen. JiminezCastellanos. the Spanish captain gen- jeral, and the American ranking officer jin Cuba, Maj. Gen. John R. Brooke, ifhe arrives in time, and, otherwise, Maj.Gen. Lee, will assemble at the palace.

The Spanish commissioners will thensurrender the government to the Unit-ed States commissioners, who will im- jmediately transfer it to the Americangeneral commanding. After this thevarious American functionaries will re-main awhile to receive those who maywish to pay their respects to the in-coming administration.

It was agreed at the joint meetingthat the Spanish soldiers remaining inCuba after Jan. 1 should be consideredas foreign troops in a friendly coun-try, and to be accorded the privilegesusually granted under internationallaw. The quarters, buildings andgrounds occupied by them are to becovered by the immunities of ex-ter-rltoriality, and further negotiations willbe entered into regarding the preven-tion of public disorder or disturbancesconsequent on their presence. Matanzasand Cienfuegos will doubtless ba thoonly places where Spanish troops willremain after Jan. 1, and Clenfuego* willbe evacuated last.

The Spanish sick In the hospitals willremain under the safeguard of theAmerican flag, the Spanish authoritiesproviding medicines, attendance andfood, repatriating them on recovery.

Gens. Wade, Butle>- and Clous, ac-companied by their aid^9, were receivedat the palace today v, ith full militaryhonors. The Spanish trumpeters

blew a blare and the polioe guardssaluted. The same ceremonies markedthe retirement of the American officers.

The Eighth and Tenth regular In-fantry regiments occupied the forts atEl Vedado today, but there are noAmerican flags in sight.

GRIM SPANISH SECRETSMay Come to Light When Amerians

Hold Morro and Cubana*.

HAVANA. Dec. 23.—Cabanas andMorro are being prepared for delivery

to the Americans. Every article capa-ble of being moved has been takenaway. The swords have been destroy-

ed or packed In huge cases for trans-portation to Spain, and the interiorsof these huge charnel houses, whichhave held so many Spanish secrets,

have been prepared for the flood oflight which will be thrown on themwhen the American troops march in.

Secrecy as dark as the grave hasbeen maintained in regard to boththese places, and the destiny of theirthousands of prisoners is still unknown.Friends and relatives- of missing menwait anxiously to ascertain whetherthey still linger inn dungeons or havegone the way of thousands of othersin the bloody laurel ditch.

Capt. Gen. Caetellanos paid a visitto Cabanas to see for himself the prog-ress of the preparations for departure.The Spanish government is exceedinglyanxious not to leave behind a traceshowing the irregularity with whichtrials have been conducted or the exactnumber of victims who have gone totheir doom there.

shows an increase of 25 per cent,against 9 per cent in imports, whichwould indicate much more than ?20,---000,000 excess of exports this month.Thp payments through clearing houseshave been for the week 26.50 greater

than last year and 12.60 greater than in18?2, and for the month 18 per centlarger than in 1892. No great-er volume of business has ever beendone in the History of this country thanin the closing month of this year.

"If the Cotton manufacturer takes aleading place this year, It is not merely

because cotton is an eighth lower thana year ago, nor because prospects forbuyers are so good. The manufacturehas been much expanded by increaseddemand, so that prices of nearly allthe goods quoted in our report haveadvanced more or less, and there is afeeding that with unreasonable accu-mulation of. print cloths out of theway, there is a brighter prospect for allgoods.

"Sales of wool have been large. 27.---36'U00 pounds, against 23.115,200 poundslast year, and 21,580,200 pounds in thosame week of 1892, with small aa wellas large manufacturers buying veryfreely, which indicates a general im-provement in the demand for goods,although not enough aa yet to liftprices.

"The story of the iron manufactureris like a dream. With 25,000 tons ofBf.ssemer pig sold at Pitisburg for$10.60, gray forge at $9.40, Chicagosales limited only by the capacity ofthe works, and Eastern sales so numer-ous and so large as to raise the price

25 cents, there Is a demand for finishedproducts which includes at Philadel-phia 4,000 tons of plates for export toSouth America; 3,000 tons at Chicago,

where works are crowded; 80,000 tonsof steel rails by the Maryland Steelcompany for Asiatic Russia; 35,000 tonsfor Australia, against British bids, atPiUsburg, and about 10,000 tons domes-tic at the East; 6.600 tons structuralwork at Chicago and Plttsburg, and8,000 tons for car builders at Chicago,all the works there being crowded, withheavy buying of sheets and wire rods,and sharp competition at the South incotton ties, a pending contract for 20,---000 tons ca3t pipe for Yokohama, andsales of smaller quantities in each classtoo numerous to mention. Prices ofiron and steel product have not ma-terially changed, although the tone Iseverywhere stronger and for wire nailsquotations have been advanced to $1.30at Plttsburg. But this country is beat-Ing the world In this Industry.

"All this business is done with thefull belief that next year's demand willbe greater than ever before, and it iscreditable, especially in the iron andsteel business, that so little advance inprices of finished products have beenmade. The range of prices is nearly20 per cent lower than in 1592, Indicat-ing an astonishing increase in thequantity of products exchanged.

"How Europe will be able to paymere than $"0,000,000 due on merchan-dise exports, due the month, aa well asthe enormous balances for Novemberand the previous months is a question

which the country can afford to consid-er at its leisure and comfort.

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 23. — Aftermany months of work and thsexpenditure of thousands of dollars Insecuring expert testimony, the nowfamous North Dakota railroad ratecase has been decided by United StatesJudge Arnidon in favor of the railroads,

the judge sending the opinion from St.Louis, where he is holding court. Itwas filed in the United States districtcourt here this morning. It is alengthy document and is concurred inby Judge Thayer, of St. Louis.

The history of the case is as follows:The railway commissioners of NorthDakota in May. 1897, adopted a sched-ule of rates which, if applied to thedomestic tariff on business actually

done, made a rtducUon of the ratesof the companies, In force, of about 14per cent. To become operative it wasnecessary for the commission to publishits schedule of rates. The penalties

for disregarding: the schedule, had itgone into effect, were very severe,amounting to $5,000 upon each ship-

ment. Had the rates taken effect andthe companies not observed them, thepenalties on each day's business w.iuldhave been enormous. To avoid the pen-alties of resisting the rates, after they

took effect, and the multiplicity ofsuits, for a suit could be brought foreach separate violation, the GreatNorthern, Northern Pacific and Mil-waukee roads brought suit in theUnited States court to restrain publi-

cation of the rates. By this proceedingthe reasonableness of the rates wasbrought in question. A temporary in-junction was granted restraining thepublication and upon answer of thecommission an order was entered ap-pointing Attorney Lovell, of Casselton,

master in chancery to take testimonyand report to the court. The hearingswere held in St. Paul and in Milwaukeelast summer. The rates In North Da-kota, it was established, although therailroad business there was light, werethe same as in Minnesota and lowerthan in any stale west of Dakota.

The case came on for hearing beforeJudge Amidon, district judge for Da-kota, and Judge Thayer, of St. Louis,sat with him.

The state's case was handled by At-torney General Cowan, and he devotedpractically an entire year to it, assist-ed by a number of experts.

"When the arguments were finallyjsubmitted Mr. Cowan was given tendays to submit a supplemental brief,but none being filed, Judge' Amidonacted on the case as submitted.

CORPORATE INTERESTSSAID TO BE BACK OF IT

Every Need of the GovernmentClaimed to Be Embodied in theMinority Substitute, Which Stip-ulate* That the Standing Army

Shall Consist of aO.OOO MenTemporary Provisions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ?3.-The minor-ity of the house committee en militaryaffairs today filed with the clerk theirreport in opposition to the Hull bill forthe increase of the regular army to100,000 men. It is as follows:

The minority of the committee dissent fromthe majority of the committee because thebill reported a permanent standing army forthe United States of over 100,000 men. Such,an army Is not necessary to be maintainedIn this country now. neither because of ourrelations to the islands of the sea. nor becauseof any necessity which in the paßt year hasarisen in this country its«lf. The evils ofstanding armies are too we'll known to hidlla'ted. upon here. Such a standing army as"the one proposed would, in time of peacebe a menace to the liberty of citizens, and inUlme of war would not be sufficient to meefsuccessfully the armies of the first-tlaeapowers of the world. Happily we aro cosituated that a lar.ee standing army Is nota necessity, and would only be a luxury tobe sup Dorted by the taxes of the people. Iti« estimated that the Hull bill will cost thepeople annually the sum of SliO.iWO.Ooi). Thiswould be a Permanent charge upon the peo-ple and $H5,000,U00 are being annually pai|to the soldiers of the Civil war. and the waiwrt:h Spain, thus placing a per:nan >at ohttrmof 5295.000.000 upon the people «t the Unite*fcratee. and tins to maintain the militaryestablishment a'-one. to m.v nothing of th<navy. The passage of this bill means th<practical destruction of the national guardand the volunteer troops of the states. WliUtuch a large standing army the citizen scl-diery of the country would feel thai itwas notnecessary to prepare for war tn time of peace,nor to go to war in tima of war.

TJi« taxes which a:e now so bmdansome tothe pecple will continue to be collected andwill rather be increased than otherwise. Nohop* of economical administration can be in-dulged in wrilt such permanent ;nid lavishexpenditure is provided lor.

BU RDENSOM E TAXATION.

It Is well understood that rh<? great cor-porate ißtertftffi of the country are demandingthis largo standing army, and their reason*for such a demand are too obvious to b»pointed out. These Interests want force toenforce thalr demands!, and dominoed bysucli interests a standing army would be themeans to invade the liberties of tbe people,to suppress freedom of speech and to d< sj-crate the ballot box itself.

It is needless, however, to continue topoint out the main evi'.a of this bll; suffice Uto say that both in furm and In .substan* eitoverturns the policy which has been pur-sued so successfully by this governmentfor so many years, and launches the countryupon a course wWch .an only terminate inthe deatractlon of the liberties of the peo-ple.

The minority, holding the views above ex-pressed, have thought thpy owed it to th«country to present to the house of representa-tives a substitute for the bill reported by thamajority. They herewith report said substi-tute, as embodying every Deed of the gov-ernment in the present condition, and at th<jauae time preserving with scrupulous ear«tbe libw-ty of the citizens and avoiding th«evijs or m. great standing army.

SUBSTITUTE PROVISIONS.The substitute provides for a perma-

nent standing army of 30,000 enlistedmen—about the number in the armybefore the war with Spain. The or-ganization provided fur in the substi-tute conforms to what it has been, v, ithsome few important changes. A largernumber of men is provided fur theartillery than usual, by ieason of thenecessity of manning- our coast de-fenses, upon which large sums havebeeu spent. The substitute also pro-vides for 50,000 volunteers, to be takenfrom the states and territories, and theDistrict of Columbia, in proportion topopulation. These volunteers are to bemustered out of the service two .\earsfrom the passage of the act, unlesssooner designated. Ttieir organizationis to be the same as that of the regu-lar army.

The court has now filed an opinion! sustaining the contention of the rall-; way companies, holding that the ratesadopted by the commission were un-

Volunteer organizations now in serv-ice are to be given preference as to ie-enlistment. All volunteers now in theservice of the United States are to bemustered out within sixty days fromthe passage of this act. The .substi-tute is not to operate to discharge anycommissioned officer who was in thearmy of the United States prior to thewar with Spain.

reasonable and restraining their pub-, lication. The court found that thej rates made by the commission -wouldj not have yielded a return sufficient topay the cost of handling the traffic af-fected by them, that the state couldnot inquire into and apportion to it-self as having been carried within it,

i interstate earnings; that the question\u25a0 of the reasonableness of the local ratewas one to be considered as a localquestion, following the decision of thesupreme court of the United States inthe Nebraska case, that interstate costs

; and earnings are not proper matters orj within the Jurisdiction of the state. The

; state of North Dakota has the right ofj appeal to the suoreme court of the

I United States.

The necessity for this body of volun-teer troops arises from the relationswhich the United States governmentnow bears to Porto Rico. Cuba, thePhilippine islands, the Hawaiian isl-ands and the Ladrone islands. Fiftythousand men are very near the markwhich the general of the army saidwould be necessary in these islands,in his testimony before the committeeon military affairs.

In the absence of the text of thedecision of the United States districtcourt regarding the North Dakota ratecase, neither General Counsel M. D.Qrover, of the Great' Northern, norCharles W. Bunn, of the Northern Pa-cific, would express an opinion of itsmerits yesterday. Both were glad,however, that the court had decided infavor of the railway companies. Theysent for the full text of the judges'opinion and expect to receive it to-day.

Representatives Hay, of Virginia,who prepared the minority report, esti-mates that the regular army establish-ment provided for in the minority sub-stitute would entail an annual ex-penditure of $30,000,000, or about $1,000per man, and that the volunteer forceof 50,000, by the same calculation, wouldcost $50,000,000, or a total during theexistence of the volunteer army of $80,---000,000.

The war department Is preparing offi-cial estimates, which will be ready ina few days.
