SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Sept. 2.—Address-
ing a monster Democratic rally here to-
night, Mr. Bryan in the course of a
speech on the tariff, guaranty of bank
deposits, the labor and trust questions
and Government reform, denounced Col-
onel Dupont and Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, members of the Repub-
lican executive commltt.ee. as not to he
expected to become reformers, because,
as he charged, of their affiliations with
the trusts. Especial attention was given
to the reform and trust questions.
Having traveled the entire night and
day through Minnesota and ;i part of
Iowa, where lie received enthusiastic re-
ceptions all along the line, Mr. Bryan ar-
rived here shortly before X o'clock to-
night. From the rear platform of the
train at various points in both Stales lc
shook the hands of many hundreds of
persons and made several talks, but the
chief of these was at Alton, Iowa, a
junction noint, at which he discussed at
some length the tariff and the subject of
the guaranty of bank deposits. Fie again
charged Mr. Taft. with not being sound
on the Republican platform and with be-
ing forced to continually amend it
During a two hours' stay in St Paul
between trains Mr. Bryan took breakfast
in an uptown cafe, which he reached aft-
er a brisk walk. On the way back h« ob-
served In a music store window an an-
nouncement that the stock included pho-
nographic records of his speeech on guar-
anty of bank deposits and of Mr. Tart on
injunctions in labor disputes. He entered
the place and, at his request, both rec-
ords were reproduced. His own remark^
ware heard first, and as the last word
died away he smilingly remarked;
am now convinced."
Cheered by Thousands.
At the station here to meet the Ne
brasknn were Mayor Sears. State Com-
mitteeman Beck, former Mayor Quick J.
I). Van Goweri and many other leading
Democrats. No! sooner did the crowd
catch a glimpse of Mr. Bryan a.s he
alighted from the train than he was lust-
uy cheered by several thousand people
which continued as he rode along the
streets to the hotel. He will depart at 6
o'clock in the morning for Lincoln trav-
eling to Omaha via the Chicago & North-
western and tho balance of the way over
the Burlington, reaching Lincoln at 10.30
o clock.
Discussing the question of reforms, Mr.
Bryan declared that the Republican par-
ty was not in a position to reform any-
thing. ••Why?" he asked. "Because its
conspicuous leaders are connected with
the very things that need reform, and
the Republican party cannot prosecute
the guilty without offending its most
prominent members. He cited the fact
that the Republican National Committee
had selected a chairman, and that chair-
man had selected his executive commit-
tee
"If," he said, "you will read the names
of the members of the executive com-
mittee that are now carrying on this
campaign you will find a majority of
them are conspicuous for their connection
with the very corporations that need reg
illation. One of them. Mr. Dupont of
Delaware, is today the defendant in
suit for conspiracy in violation of the
anti-trust law brought bv the I In i ted
States Government, and which is still
pending. Mr. Dupont is defendant in the
action, and yet he is on the executive
committee to carry on the Republican
campaign, and the chairman of the
speaker's bureau of that committee.
Dupont and the Trusts.
"Now, I want to ask you, do you
think Mr. Dupont is in a good position
to pick out speakers and train them as
t what they shai say? Do you expect
any speakers to mention the Government
suit, against the powder trust if the
speaker is picked out and instructed by
one of the defendants? Do you expect
Mr. Penrose of Pennsylvania, who has
been intimately connected with all the
corporations of his State, to become a
reformer? And yet he is another one of
the executive committee to carry on the
Republican campaign."
Mr. Bryan asserted that there were
more trusts now In the United States
than there were eleven years ago.
"Not only this," he said, "but with
the most strenuous Republican you have
ever had in the White House, he has
not succeeded in putting one trust mag-
nate in the penitentiary."
The so-called International Harvester
trust was scored by the Democratic can-
didate, who charged that the Republican
party had not attempted to free the
country from its alleged extortions.
"Why have not these trusts been
crushed out?" he inquired. "What pros-
pect is there that they will be crushed
out under Republican rule? If Roosevelt
is not able to bring his party into active
opposition to these trusts what hope have
we tjiat Mr. Taft will do better?"
Mr. Taft. he said, was not so strenuous
as Mr. Roosevelt. "Read his language."
he said, "and compare it with the fiery
denunciation made in the President's
message of last January."
On the trust question, he said, the peo-
ple have no hope of relief with Mr. Taft
as President, "for," he said, "he not
only does not promise you relief, but
criticises me severely because I do prom-
ise relief."
He declared that every private monop-
oly ought to be dissolved, and that com-
petition ought to be restored in order
that the people may have the benefit of
that competition.
Continuing, Mr. Bryan said that Mr.
Taft not only does not say that his party
will destroy private monopolies, but he
does say to destroy it would destroy
and extirpate business. He says that
what the country needs is not" extermi-
nation of trusts, but regulation. He has
tried the regulation in his party for
twelve years and the result is that the
trusts have regulated the Republican
party, but the party has failed to regu-
late. the trusts. 1
Demand for immediate Recognition of
Usurping Sultan Falls Like Bomb-
shell in Paris—Explains Mission
of Dr. Yasel to Tangier.
PARIS, Sept. 2.—The action of Ger-
many in breaking up. the concert of
the powers with regard to Morocco by
notifying the signatories of the Algeciras
act that she considered the actual situa-
tion demanded the immediate recognition
of Mulai Hafld, the usurping Sultan of
Morocco, hap fallen like a bombshell in
Paris. A feeling approaching consterna-
tion is manifested in official circles. The
notification, wheh was made verbally,
is not. accompanied by any explanation
of Germany's "brutal change of front,"
as it is termed here and in government
circles. The action of Germany and the
dispatch to Fez of Dr. Vasol, the Ger-
man Consul at Tangier, can no longer
be disassociated.
Officials can see in' Germany's action
only a virtual proclamation of her in-
tention to disregard the Algeciras act
and seek a special position in Morocco
for herself. The consequences. both
from the international and the French
standpoint, aro expected to be deplor-
able.
In answer to Germany's call for recog-
nition of Mulai Hafid before lie has en-
tered into any engagements with Kurope,
fanatical Arabs, who had been gathering
on the Algerian frontier, attacked yes-
terday the French post at Boudenib.
French Official View.
The Associated Press is in a position
to present the following French official
view of the situation:
"Germany's notification came as a com-
plete surprise to France and Spain, who
arc engaged in elaborating a program of
the demands to l»e presented Mulai Hafld
for the safeguarding of the common in-
terests of Ruropa and America in Moroc-
co. These demands arc to be submitted
to the signatories of the Algcciras
act as soon as they arc completed, and
the powers were so notified eight days
ago. Germany took no exception to this
course, and we presumed that she was
entirely satisfied until suddenly there
came this crash out of a blue sky.
"There was no longer any question
of upholding Abd el Aziz. Both France and
Spain recognized that he has disappeared
definitely from the horizon What we
proposed to do was to force Mulai Hafid
t<> ratify the engagements of his brother*
Abd el Azisc, before recognizing him.
Now Germany comes forward with a
proposition to recognize Mulai Hafid be-
fore he has given any guarantee. It
amounts to undoing the work of the Al
geciras conference and reverting to the
status quo ante.
"The powers must decide between the
position of Germany and that of
France."
The French press is considering Ger-
many's action as productive of an acute
crisis.
After an informal conference by the
Ministers this afternoon and the exam-
ining of telegrams with Premier Cletn-
enceau, the Associated Press was au-
thorized to announce that France intends
to pursue the policy already mapped
out and that the powers will be allowed
to decide whether her course or that
of Germany is preferable.
Germany to Play Her Own Game.
The tone of the afternoon press Is
temperate. The Temps declares that Ger-
many's move means that she intends to
play her own game in Morocco.
' After demanding the intervention of
tIurope at Algeciras," this paper says,
"Germany Is now pursuing a policy in
Morocco without regard to Kurope." Con-
tinuing. the paper points out that France
considers herself hound to view the situ-
ation from the general standpoint, even
to the neglect of her own interests. Had
she desired to take advantage of the situ-
ation, the concentration of a hostile army
under one of Mulai Hafid's lieutenants
on the Algerian frontier would have fur-
nished ample excuse to take only her
military security into consideration. In-
stead, France allowed Mulai Hafid to be
proclaimed Sultan at Oudja. and, acting
in accord with Spain she undertook to
secure preliminary guaranties to safe-
guard the interests of all the powers and
to arrange an understanding among them,
a thing which is as essential as the guar-
anties themselves. This was explained
repeatedly to Germany through diplo-
matic. channels.
'To recognize Mulai Hafid," the paper
declares, "without knowing whether or
not he will accept the AJgeciras act is a
policy of Incoherence worthy of M. Juar-

East, with the subcommittee 01 twenty
members, composed of National commit-
teemen and prominent Democrats of the
East to assist him.
Chairman Mack said that John A

teeman from Rhode Island, had beet

elected speaker for one term, and two
terms in the State Senate. Mr. Huds-
peth resigned today the chairmanship of
the Democratic State Committee. Mr.
Hudspeth said tonight he would assume
active management of the campaign on
Friday.
United States Senator John W. Daniel
of Virginia, who has been abroad with
the Monetary Commission for a month,
called at headquarters today and told
Mr. Mack that he was going back to
Virginia to take up the threads of the
campaign and would make wveroj
speeches.
Germany's note, this Journal continues,
means nothing or it means Germany de-
mands the unconditional recognition of
Mulai Hafid. Germany has the right to
pursue her own policy, but If she runs
counter to the interests of Europe she
must not be astonished if she finds her-
self isolated. It is certain that the other
powers have sufficient authority without
Germany to exact the necessary guar-
anties. France's line of conduct Is in-
spired by the general Interest and It will
not be modified.
The Liberta is of the opinion that this
coup is decidedly at France's door, but
even Germany's allies must protest
against this attempt on the part of Em-
poror William to monopolize a situation
•.n which all the powers are interested.
"The period of tension has been renewed,"
says the paper, "but we need not be
alarmed, as the tone of the foreign press
shows on which side are the sympathies
of the world."
The Journal des Debats considers that
Continued on Pa§« Twt,
TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 2.—That Taft and
Foraker are politically together is not
only the public admission of both Taft
nnd Foraker here today, but also the
political sensation of Ohio. Senator For-
aker is avowed candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed himself, and his
services in the National campaign have
been sought by National Chairman
Hitchcock, and the Senator has promised
to take the stump.
The conflicting ambitions of both prin-
cipals, as attested by tho preconvention
strife, has constituted not only the of-
ficial record but the general impression
in the public mind. Both the record and
impression were swopt out of existence
by tho events of today and last night.
At a dinner given here last night by
Charles T. Lewis, who is incidentally the
host of Judge Taft at the Middle Baas
Club, being president of that organiza-
tion, there were present Senator Foraker,
Gen. Ilrnry C. Corbin, Representative J.
Warren Kelfer of Ohio and James Hoyt,
an attorney of Cleveland. This dinner
resulted in an Invitation to Senator For-
aker to remain in this city and attend
both the review of the parade of the
Grand Army of the Republic in tho
stand with Judge Taft today and also
the reception to he given later by the
Lincoln Republican Club. Those who at-
tended this dinner are authority for the
further statement that when Senator
Foraker left the dinner he was called
on the long dietunee telephone trom Chi-
cago by Chairman Hitchcock and re-
quested to open the Republican campaign
In Kansas. Senator Foraker has not vot
given his answer to this invitation, but
it is stated lie told the National chair-
man that he would take part In tho
speaking program.
Meeting Is Spectacular.
Mr. Taft left Little Bass Island at C
o'clock oi) a small power yacht and after
a tempestuous voyage of four hours
reached Toledo, very damp from the
spray. He was taken in an automobile
direct to the reviewing stand. Mr. Taft
said on the journey that he did not know
of the arrangement whereby he was to
meet Senator Foraker. nor did he know
of any endeavors to effect such an ar-
rangement. But the city of Toledo
seemed to know all about It, and when,
after the candidate had been in his place
only a few minutes, n carriage which
headed the parade stopped in front of the
grandstand there was a tremendous shout
as the thousands who were within sight
«>f the stand caught sight of the senior
Senator and his colleague, Senator Dick,
<governor Harris and Mayor Whitlock.
Senator Foraker was the last of the lit-
tle party to reach Judge Tait's side, bur
when he did and each raised his right
hand. Taft saying, "Hello. Senator," and
Foraker. "I am glad to see you. Judge,"
and then shook hands long and heartWy
and smiled decidedly cordially, there was
h mighty shout from the crowd and then
applause. The two sat down together
and remained In earnest conversation for
more than an hour, incidentally together
receiving the plaudits of the marching
veterans. Senator Foraker left, to keep
a business engagement and; Mr Taft re-
mained until the four hours' parade had
passed.
Taft Shakes Hands for 20 Minutes.
Before Judge Taft was allowed to de-
part in an automobile ride which had
been arranged for him. he consented to
shake hands for twenty minutes with an
enthusiastic throng.
The ride ended at the Lyceum Theater
at 4 o'clock, where, when Mr. Taft had
been cheered by an audience which filled
the large playhouse, Senator Foraker
made his appearance. He was also en-
thusiastically greeted as he took a seat
beside that of Mr. Taft after the latter
had arisen.
President Mulland of the club intro-
duced Mr. Taft as the "world's big man"
and many more complimentary phrases.
Judge Taft was again the subject of a
demonstration.
"Your chairman has said that I have
filled, offices for nearly twenty years al-
most without reward. As he did so. Sen-

MET JIOT'RNE, Sept.3—Twelve thousand
medallions will be distributed tomorrow
to the officers and men of th« United
States fleet. They are gifts of the Com-
monwealth and commemorate the visit
to Australia.
The fleet will leave here Saturday
morning at K o'clock, and is due to reach
Albany, where it will take coal, Septem-
ber 11.
The weather has improved here, and as
a result there was a large attendance
at the various outdoor entertainments
arranged for the officers and men of
tho visiting American battleships today.
The Victoria Racing Club provided a
complimentary race meeting at Flem-
Ington this afternoon. There were six
events. Before the meet the club en-
tertained a number of officers at lunch-
eon. The chairman of the club pro>
posed the health of King Edward and\
President Roosevelt, characterizing them V.
as the two greatest rulers of white men
and the two greatest sportsmen in the
world.
There was a baseball match at. Mel-
bourne Cricket Grounds In which a team
made up from the fleet defeated the
Victoria, nine 6 to 5. The attendance
was large.
This evening the State government en-
tertained the American Admiral and the
senior officers at a reception. The
function was elaborate and there, were
present about soOO people, Including Ad-
miral Spcrry. the other American offi-
cers and Sir Thomas Olbson-Carmlchael,
Governor of Victoria. At the same time
this reception was being held the State
government entertained the American
sailors and marines at a smoking con-
cert.
Great interest is being manifested in
the fight to come off tomorrow between
Tommy Burns, the American heavy-
weight, and BUI Lang of Victoria. Burns
is the favorite.
LESSON OF FLEET TO AUSTRALIA
Premier of British Colony Urges Navy
in Its Own Defense.
MELBOURNE, Sept. 2.-Speaking at
the dinner tendered to Rear Admiral
Sperry and the senior officers of the
American battleship fleet at the Royal
Yacht Club tonight, Alfred Deakin, the
Premier said: "The appearance of the
American fleet indicates that it is on
no holiday cruise. It.s visit marks for us
no casual adventure, for the invitation
was given in a spirit of deepest earnest-
ness after sober consideration, and the
concession made by the American Gov-
ernment In sending the fleet here Is per-
haps the most generous made in recent
times by one nation to another. The
American battleships show the last work
in the art of novel construction, and the
lesson to Australians i* that, as America
was unable to take a first place in the
world until the country had a first-class
navy, because until then only able to
protest verbally against outside Injustices
and injury, so Australia cannot be con-
tent to utllmately accept defense at any
other hands than its own, and should be-
gin provision for Its own navy In a mod-
est way."
FIFTEEN THOUSAND IN PARADE.
Congratulations Showered on Admiral
Soerry on Birthday.
MELBOURNE, Sept. 3.-Fifteen thou-
sand Americans and Australians took
part In the grand review and parade to-
day at Flemington, one of the western
suburbs of the city. The reception was
enthusiastic.
The Victorian journalists gave a re-
ception In honor of Rear Admiral Sperry,
who delivered a speech.
This was Admiral Sperry's birthday and
many congratulations were showered on
him by the American residents. The City
of Melbourne commemorated the occasion
by presenting him with a silver bowl
bearing a suitable inscription.
