27. A conference was held at the Pomfret club in this city yesterday to consider the advisability of Lafayette and the University of Pennsylvania playing another foot ball game this season. Those present at the conference were G. L. McAvey, manager -of the Pennsylvania team; Manager Bishop and Coach Parke Davis, of the Lafayette team, and Professor F.

A. March, Judge Howard Reeder, James Fox and John Maxwell, representing the Lafayette alumni athletic committee. At the conclusion of the conference it was announced that another game will not be played between the ttto colleges this season. The Pennsylvania repre sentative was very anxious that a game should be played, offering one-nan oi the gross receipts for one game. When asked the reason why Lafay ette would not play.

Professor March said this evening: "The Lafayette athletic advisory committee decided that, with the present schedule of gamps, it would be unwise to arrange for another game of such great impor tance. The only inducements were financial and these the committee considered of minor importance. Lafayette Athletic association Is not run with the object of making money. The Lafayette boys have not yet gotten through with celebrating the victory they won on Saturday over Pennsylvania. A.

parade was held this evening, in which ail the students in a body and a nurnher of others took part.

Hungary is the basin of the Danube and its tributaries, bounded iu a semicircle by the Carpathian mountains.

No other country of equal extent po6se9ses the same physical unity. With very few exceptions, all rivers of Hungary flow, dlroctly or indirectly, into the Danube, and in prehistoric times Hungary was indeed an immense lake, which, by crumbling masses from tho Carpathians, has in the course of untold centuries been leveled up to a vast plain. This physical self contentedness of the country designated it, as it were, for a tirond and self ontented nation. Ivecion tiro north or the plains of the south from tho time of Alexander of Maoedon to that of Alfred of England. Gepides and Goths, Hercules and Alans, Huns and Moravians, Servians and Ruthenians, and very many more land seeking tribes essayed to court the love of iucivtu Hungaria.

The Magyars alone, a Finnish Ugrlan tribe, probably from central Asia, entering Hungary by the pass of Vereczke, in the northeast Carpathians, 1,000 years ago, have been able to wed themselves in good and Listing marriage to the country, abounding in tho treasures of a fertile soil, a varied surface and a benign climate. They also founded a true nationality and a genuine state. Tho peoples inhabiting Hungary before the arrival of the Magyars were not so much conquered as relegated by them. They were, and always remain ed, what the stately law term of tho Hun trariaj, trinartitum fcodo of lawi called them reguicoloe; dwellers, not citizens rur- V77. uat.onaxiy,, i I union.

If they are so anxious about the workingman now, why did they demonetize silver in 1S73. when the silver dollar was worth more than the gold dollar? Silver, naturally, has gone down in value in the markets of tho world since the gold men secured the Influence of this nation on the side of gold monometallism.

Gold would go down the very same if subjected to the same treatment.

Havana, Oct. 27.

Colonel Sesrura has reported to the government that his command surprised a body of rebels at Garganta Soroa, province of Pinar-Del Rio, and that in the fighting that followed, four of the insurgents were killed. The Spanish, by this victory gained possession of a route to the hills and started to build trenches to defend their position. While employed in this work the troops were continually fired upon by rebels, but no losses were sustained. On Oct. 24 Colonel -Segura left the main body of his command and with a small force started to reconnoitre the country.

On his way back he learned that the Za-mora battallion was engaged with the rebels. He, therefore, hurried to the scene of the lighting and took part in the combat. The rebels made desperate efforts to carry the Spanish position and thus open the way for their return to the hills, but were compelled to retreat, closely followed by the Spaniards. A series of bloody fights occurred dur- i Ing the two days of the pursuit. The rebels left sixty-one dead on the field, but it is believed that their losses were much heavier than this.

The troops lost a lieutenant and twenty-one privates killed, and one hundred and ten wounded, including four captains and two lieutenants. NAVAL. OFFICERS APPEAL. They Want the Same Privileges of Re tirements Enjoyed by the Army. Washington.

Oct. 26. Admiral Mc Nair and ail the officers on the Asiatic Station have united in a petition requesting Secretary Herbert to urge upon congress the enactment of such amendments to existing laws as will extent the privilege of thirty-year retirement now enjoyed by the Army and Marine corps to the officers and men of the navy. The design is to abolish an apparently unwarranted discrimination against the navy, and particularly against its enlisted men, who do not now have the advantages of army privates. Similar petitions are expected from other squadrons, and little doubt is expressed that Secretary Herbert will seize the opportunity of making a strong recommendation in his annual report on the subject.

27. The streets of, Jac began to show evidences early yesterday that some especial event was about to takeplace in the pretty college town. Vehicles in which people had driven many miles lined up along the curbs of the principal streets, while the sidewalks were crowded. with excursionists. The pres ence of William J.

Bryan and his wife in the community where they were educated and spent the first few years of their married life was the magnet that attracted so many visitors, all of whom had come to see and hear rthe candidate deliver a SDeech on the pub lic subject in the afternoon. Horse men, attired in red, white and blue sashes and decorations of shimmering silver foil, gallopedl about the shaded thoroughfares of Jacksonville from an early hour and the occasional noise of brass bands and silver club added to the excitement and interest that pervaded the little city. Mr. Bryan began his day in a very pleasant way. Surrounded by students of his alma mater he made an address in the chapel of the Illinois State College in the forenoon, in which he de-niedLinsinuatlons that he was not actuated by earnest belief in advocating the free coinage of silver and maintained that he was anxious to do the greatest good to the greatest number of people in the United States.

The little chapel was crowded. No display was attempted, Mhe regular religious exercises that were practicedin Mr. Bryan's time and are still main tained, being carried on in all their simplicity. Mr. and Mrs.

Bryan Joined the students in singing "America," and jin the responses to the Twenty-fifth Psalm, which preceded the Introduction of the candidate, by Dr. jj. E. Bradley, the president of the college. The boys forgot their surroundings their desire to do honor to the distinguished alumnus and cheered with', a will as Mr.

Bryan rose. MR. BRYAN'S REMARKS. Mr. Bryan in addressing the students said in part: "1 want you young men to realise that when you have received great aU- vantages, great responsibilities go with those advantages and that you have no right, as citizens in a land like this, to keep in darkness upon any public question; nor have you a right to nsten to any persuasions except tne persuasions which come from your con- science and your judgment.

I appro- ttuKtr-a i iiv jriK i country like this. You may have had i people tell you that my ideas were antagonistic to our form of government and to law and order. But 'I. want you to believe me when I that there is not a person in this coun try wno loves our institutions more than I do, or who feels a deeper iti- terest in tneir perpetuation. And what young man has the right to prize 1 our institutions more than I have? In what other country is it iossible for "unS man to accomplish as much as i of this land may be able to aspire to I anv omoe to which his abilities or his ideas, or his labor and his integrity fit him.

And lt is because that 1 realia-e think as I do, some of the influences which in society are tending to close the door of opportunity for young men that I have felt the indignation that I have expressed against great aggregations of wealth which have in Instances trampled unon the rights of weaker members of societv oy tne power which they can command, to drive out i.i.w,., yii-y uiion so- tety after it has been rendered help- iec- anu lies at their mercy. FAITH IN HIS OWN TEACniVfiC! 1 rear in the papers that in various institutions of learning they are nearly all against me. My friends, if I should read in the papers that there was not college professor, not a businessman, not a man prominent in society who believed in what I am teachlnsr. 1 would believe in It, I would still teach it. When I hear people say the trouble with the masses of the people is that they don't work hard enoueh.

recall what the Bible tells us, Pharoah when he heard the complaint that came up from his people said the same thing. He said: "They are Idle, that Is what troubles them; make thiji make more bricks, and make them furnish the straw." I know too that all the great reforms of society have come up from the common people; not down from those who were well-to-do, or who were -so surrounded that they did not feel the needs of the people. I remember that the Bible tells us that when one young man was inquiring what he ought to do and was told to sell what he had and give to the poor, he went away sorrowing because he had great possessions. I know that great possessions some time monopolize a person's thoughts, so occupy his time, that he Jias not time give to those needs of society which are felt and realized by those who suffer. I want you, in Che study of all institutions, not to take my views because, as I say, I may be wrong not to take anybody's views, but to try-to find out what Is best for the people, and be satisfied that you can only Jift yourself by lifting up those who are about you." A HOLIDAY ANNOUNCED.

When Mr. Bryan concluded, there were more cheering again and. th students broke forth when President Lea'nley announced a holiday ln honor' of the Democratic nominee. Th members of the Sigma Phi society escorted Mr. and Mrs.

Bryan to threli; carriage, singing their fraternity song and sent another cheer after them as they were driven away. The crowd at the public square began to collect early and at 2 o'clock! when Mr. and Mrs. Bryan aboiit 12,000 people were congregated closely around the broad platform' from which the candidate spoke while-as many unable to hear, gathered on-the streets in that vicinity. During the hour and a quarter occupied by Mr.

Bryan, the enthusiasm was fre quent and occasionally prolonged. His audience was composed almost entirely of farmers, and was undoubtedly in sympathy with his expressed views: Bryan also spoke to an audience women at the opera house where a reception in honor of Mrs. Bryan was1 held DYNAMITE'S DEADLY i Two Men Blown to Atoms in the Explosion of 1,000 Pounds.

As usual, however, it was an evasive answer, and Jn substance simply stated that the money derived from the additional taxes was only intended to complete the armament of the Mustahfuz, or Lahdstrum. the third and last class of the Turkish army reserves, and to strengthen the armament of the other land forces of the sultan, which consist of the Nizam, or regular army, and its active reserve, the Kedif, or Land-wahr. and the Mustahfuz. already referred to.

Conscripts in Turkey serve six years in the Nizam, four with the colors and' two in the reserve, they then serve eight vears in the Red if. four in the first class and four In the second. Then they complete their twenty years ser tahfua. The action of the Turkish gov- vice 1 1 prrv nts niJi yruin intr iur- eminent in completing the armament of the Mustahfuz indicates that the empire is facing a situation which may necessitate calling forth all the military forces at its disposal, and It also" Indicates that the situation is the gravest since the Russo-Turkish war.

About a year has passed since the terrible massacres of November, 1895, and the echoes of the recent massacres ln the city of Egln are just reaching here, in spite of the efforts made by the Porte to suppress anything but the official news. The Armenians of Egin were the most refined, intelligent and wealthy of that part of Armenia.

They escaped the massacres and plunder of last year oy the payment of a large ransom; but the under governor of the district, for some time previous to September last, is known to have been writing to Constantinople informing the authorities there that the Armenians of --Egin were disloyal and. It is said, shortly after the recent troubles at Constantinople. a telegram was received by the governor general of the Province of Kharput from the palace, saying: "We hear that the Armenians of Egin are disloyal. Why do you not attend to lt?" CHRISTIANS BECAME ALARMED. According to Turkish methods, this i was understood to be an order to the governor general to treat the Armenians, of Egln as -those of other places have been Naturally, the Christians became alarmed when this news leaked out on Monday, Sept.

Thereupon the under governor sent word to the Armenians that the Kurds had been driven off, and h- summoned the Armenians to the and macie them open their shops.
