Ile luis been delivering practically the same address at many points in the United states since his retirement as Secre tary of State in die Wilson cabinet. The address of Mr. Bryan injected a new element into tho Com inertial Congress, which has been giving sc ions consideration to the necessity ol arming the United States to repel j : ll invasion.

All of the equipment of the plant, with the possible exception of a Du plex press and the linotype, was com pletely destroyed. Insurance in the amount of ST,non was carried on the press and typesetting machine. There was no insurance on other material. lt is stated that the Tribune will be re-established.
