Mr. Bryan's spotc'o was a clear oui outlino of lils ideas as to what tnt Democratic policy should be. Tin ' emotion of U iited States senators b} tue people; regulation of lr- s s by th? government. A universal 8 in?ur day, a settlement < f all international dis p?tes by arbitration rather than b\ resort to force, and reviolon of th? t iriff wore somo of his poluts. Mr. Bryan deolarod, however, that he was merely expressing his own opinions and not attempting to fore oist tho policy of his party. Mr. Bryan dcolared that tho trusts were the great issue of the day. He oalled for the enforcement of tho orlm iual OIRUHO of tho Sherman anti-trust law and the placing of trust-oontroll ed articles on tho free Hst. He went into the question of the government ownership of the rall roads at great longth and dcolared that what he had seen in other ooun tries had served to strengthen his cou vlotions on tho subject. He saw no danger lu centralization, however, and for this reason advooatcd tho federal ownership of trunk lines and the State ownership of tho looal lines. The speaker gave the president some praise for what he termed his adop tion of Devrooratio ideas. Mr. Bryan also addressed an over flew meeting outside the garden. He was driven io his hotel, where he was personally greeted, by William lUn dnlph nearst, who had been loudl) cheered as he hat in a box at the gar den iirtfi.t.iRy Mr. Bryan Kr.rs to New Haven to deliver an af<ernc/m -?i.dresB ??w* tc Brldgep rt in tho evening. NJW York, Aug. 30.-Snob a wel come as seldom In thia country's his tory has been accorded to a private oiti/.-m was given to William Jennings, Bryan at Madison Square Garden Thursday night In the celebration of his return from a year's absence, spent in foreign travel. As tho guest of tho Commercial Travelers' A uti. Trust league, Mr Bryan waa greeted by more than 20, COO persons, who lilied the great struo /* ture from flyor to upper gallery. At tho hamo time thc streets and avenues outside the garden were obt cked for \ b'.ooks by other thousands who stoi.d J patiently for hours for lie privilege of even a th-eting glance at the dis tinguished visitor. Tho interior of thc garden was a waving Bea of color. Every person in thc audience had been provided with a miniature Amerloan flag and every oheer from 20 ooo throats was accentuated by the wav ing ( f 20,000 tiny staffs bearing the Stats and Stripes. When Mr. Bryan entered the hah the proceeding wbioh already had been begun were brought toa tem poraiy patine while for eight minutes volley after volley of thunderous oheer? rolled through the great build ing. When Chairman Tom L. Johnson in his introduction of Mr. Bryan re ferred to the guest of tiie evening as "the first olt.'zen, if not the tlrst of llclal of thc land--not yet thc Hist of ficial," and Mr. Bryan rose, thc great gathering broke out In unrestrained cheering, while the band played "Hail to thc Chief." So touched was Mr. Bryan hy the welocmc that as he stood waiting for the cheers to subside his eyes tilled with tears and lie strode nervously from side to side of the narrow plat form. "How can I thank you for this wei como home?" he said. "My heart would be ungrateful if it did waa not consecrate itself to your gorvloe. It was kind to prepare this reception. It was kind of Gov. Folk to como here all the way from Missouri, lt was kind of Tom Johnson, that ex ample of moi al courage we so much need in this county to lend lils presence here. "It was kind in you to fully recom pense mo in being absent so long from my native, land. 1 think you. 1 re turn to the land of my birtil more proud of my citizenship than over be fore." The dcors of M adison Square (hird, n were opened at 6 30 o'oi Ck and by this time there were hundreds of ticketholc-ers present clamoring o admittance. Pol loe lines had been formed three blocks from all tho the garden entrances. In this way the early comers were weil handled. Their menst, auditorium, with Its tiers of balconies and galleries nub g to tho height of the great glass ccv.-i ed roof,began to HU up so qu ck ly that tho ushers and policemen on hand had diftloulty lu adhering to the Piting arrange ment?. It was a cr*v plrlted, big natu cd audience, which >ad a cheer on the tongue tor every no. As tim crowd continued to cather the obt ora Increased io vol imo.

As each notable Democrat visitor ?ntered the hall and was recognized, Us name was called and tho oheorlng was reuewed. Twelvo thousand persons, many of them women, wore seated by 7 p. m., ind an hour later not a vacant seat vas to be seon. At 8 o'olook, when Mr. Bryan had aot yet arrived, Harry W. Walker, on bobalf of the Commercial Travelers \nti-Trust league, oalled the assem blage to order. Gov. Folk was given an ovation and 't was several minutes bet?re he o >uld speak. When he Anally socured iiloi.ee,h o asked the tho audionoe to be as quiet as possible, otherwise none >f the speakers, not even Mr. Bryan dms'lf, o mid bo board, The men Mon of Mi Bryan's name oalled forth renewed oheorlng.

For owu minutes tho crowd oheered him ..?tumut interruption When this Jjlnt demonstration had but partlly subsided, Mr. Bryan, ac oompauicd by bis wife, entered the rardon, at:d ac f eared on tho plat 'orm. The orowd, which had been so fr6c ?n its eheorig before, waa now fairly i\sldo tts'.df. The men shouted and Jump d on jtoats.

SOME_FACTS About the Number of Prisoners Held During the War BY NORTH AND ?SOU f B Some Interesting Statistics That Will he Read With Relish by Those Who Want to Keep the Rec ord Straight In Such Matters. A great doal has been written about tho treatment of prisoners North and South during war. The responslbil lty for the harsh aud oruel treatment of prisoners ls not easllv to tlx in any spcolllo or de finito degree, and must always bo considered as general, ex oopt In somo special and Individual oases. As to which sido was moro to blame than tho other oan only be fair ly considered and estimated by taking comparative view of tho meanB powers aud rcL'onrocB of both sides for tho proper treatment of prisoners. In view of the superior advantagei of the United States goverument, li seoms that fair and just Judgment of true and Impartial history must b renderod in favor of the Ooo federate States government. The Confederate government, at best was but provis ional, and was not well established au a permanent and reliable gov ernment Its credit was not well established and could not bo counted on for any moro than its immediately tangible and vlsi bio resources in baud at that time. Its only available asset for ore lt was the production of ootton, and at this period of war the raisleg cf oottcn was ourtalled and limited so as to nuke ao lnoreaso lu substantial supplies for cur armies. Tho property In negroes at this time was uncertain as to lbs permanent character or ot duration and was not available as se curity for oredit. Prisoners were simply so many par asl tes of the ene ny on the Cod'eder acy. The) were a lot of Idle, non pay .ng, turdemome boarders, vrho bad tc bu constantly fed and guarded and who did nothing to contribute tc their own support Tney were an In* cub-.'S upon a government already too veak to oarry its ov/u hurd n, having i. population of slaves who did not go into the armies to help light the bat los for constitutional principles of gov?.rnment wherein they wero Inter . sled as to the whole number of slaves and counted for three fifths o? their number of representation. Our women and children bad to be supported while our men wera onga ged in tho war. Then to tako on an iucroase of hearty, hungry meu of more than a quarter of a million was a great tax and undertaking for a people of limited means and resources Such was the condition of tho .South <irn ojufederaoy when t&klug so many prisoners. With the Unltrd Statos govern ment matters were dur?rent, a govern mont willoh the south helped to or gan z3 and establish, a government of means, a government of prestige and power, and with unlimited orcdit ano immense resou-Ois. The United Statos could afford to maintain as many pria oners as lt would capture of the. Cou federate armies. They could draw from tho whole world for both men and money to meet their demands In emergonoy. They could and did h.re foreigners as soldiers for bonn*/ while native southern men went war without hire. The total number of federal prison ers captured by the Confederate w; 270,000 by the report of Surgeon Gen eral Barnes, as quoted by Congress man Hill in his famous ri ply to Blaine as shown by the oillclal records tn the war department at Washlrgton The whole nu m her of Confederate prisoners captured by tho federals wab 220,000 At onoe lt is seen that the federals wero 50,000 more than th Confederates. The number cf federals who died 1 Confederate prisons wan 22,570 anti the number of G nitderatos who died In federal prisons was ?t> -i.'10 So ll appears by i file!Al I ?Cordt* Lhat mor than 12 pjr cent of the Confed?rate prisoners In ieuoral prisoners die and less than 1) per cent of thc Con fem rato prisoners lu fedeir prisons tUed, notwithstanding thc (i'll'-.renco and disparity in means ana rtsources between the north an south, considering the superior advan tages of the north ovor tue south for the proper oare of pdsonei i. In the north were numerous places for prisoners. They were located at points as follows: Albghauy, Pa., Alton, 111,, Came Butler, Ul , Ct mp Chao, ?., Camp Dcug'as, 111., Camp Morton, Iud., Bl oiha, N. Y , Kort. Columbus, N. Y , Fort Lafayette, N. Y., F ?rt Warren, Md , i'ort Wood, N. Y., Fort Piokena, F:n , Point Lookout, Md., lt ?ok Is land, III., Johnson's Island, () , Louis* vJil?, Ky., Memphis, Tenn., Nash ville, Tenn. In this essay lt Is unnecessary to jpco.fy the number of prisoners lu eaoh station, as they were distributed to suit the wishes and conveniences >t tho government, presumably for their own convenience for supplies, guards, and facility for keeping. In thc south prisons were located at Amerlcus, Ga., Camp Sumter, Ander em vi ile, Ga ; Cahaha, Ala. ; Camp Lawton, Millen, Ga., Camp Og lothorpo, Macon, Gv; Charleston S. C.; Ftorenee, S. C ; Columbia, S. C ; Charlotte, N.C; Salisbury, N. O.; ltalelgh, N. C.; DanvlPe, Vi.; ftloh mond, Va ; Belle Isle, Castle Thunder, Crows, Libby, P?mhortou's, Scott's, Smith's Factory. Tho supposition is likewise that these places woro selected for the con venicnoe of the ConfoderAte govern mont for purposes of safety from raids for the release of prisoners and for propor caro of prisoners.

He was taken ) Washington city, and tbore bold j trial by a military court, which OD domed him to be hung and bo was x< outed on the 10th of Novembor, 866. The military court which tried and onderancd Oonfederato Captain Ienry Wlrz was presided over by Jenpral L^wls Wallace, who sub equoutly became the famous author if tho book kuown as "lion Hur," vhloh has been published in numor lus editions and read by thousands of mr people. Tho work was also dramatized and ?resented on theatrical stages to thc ntorcst of many thousands of people ind vast assemblies of spectators. I voudor if any of them ever thought ?f tho author of "Bon Hur" as the ame man and ofllaor who ruled In the military oourt that trlid and con lomned Confederate Oaptaiu Henry rVlrz.

The U.\ltort States was In better londltlon and with more favorable ilrourrstauccs for tho proper care of nrlRoners, yet thoy alloted our Oon edorate soldiers to si lt jr sevoroly, nany of thom being put to death without oause or reason. Many of them dlod from starvation ind freezing, as occurred at E mita, ft. Y , Fort Delaware, Del., and ab Sandusky (Johnson's Island), Ohio. At Sandusky aud Chicano are arge ocmetorica of our men who died in these prisons. Brave patriots of tho southland, they were true to the last, and they now rost in those someterles in vlow of those who op posed their oause, as though thoy aro bo bo silent sentinels on guard forever for southern manhood and courage, fidelity aud for J rude, honor and heroism. Indeed, lt seems appropriate and timely that thc Uulted States obould a'lopt the sugesti?n of tho larneutcd President McKinley, that tho fedoral government "should share with us in the caro of Confortorato sniffler's groves." Ha said: "E?ery soldier's grave m<*dc during our unfortunate civil war ls a tribute to American valor.

In ono series of experiments eight vory young lar vie were placed in fresh proliferous masses. Of ther.e, ono died on the first day, bul all others reached ful: growth and pupated normally in from niuo to twelve days, having fed on nothing but proliferous material Proliferation usually begins in the layer of the cells adj lulng tho thit tough lining within each section of the boll.
