BRYAN ITINERARY CHANGED Democratic Candidate wni v1.11: Chair- man HinkleyT-Hepubucans to you Voters —- Populists to Have ,Double Headquarters. UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y., Aug. 21. —It is pretty apparent here today that Candi- date Bryan’ s plan to spend some time in New York state campaigning is not objec- tionable to the leaders in Democratic state politics, and that he has their co-operation in the movement. Mr. Bryan today said: “I am not bothering about New York Democrats. Everything will be all right. ” Among the facts of significance are the visit late last night Of Mr. Elliott Dan- forth of the New York organization, the :proposed visit of Mr. Bryan to Albany and the inviting of Mr. Bryan to meet a num- ber of Democrats at Winiesook Lodge, in the Catskills, presided over by Chairman of the Democratic State Committee Hink- ley of Ponghkeepsie. With these signifi- cant facts is coupled the arrangement to- day of a new western itinerary that in- eludes several points in New York state. ‘fl‘hls new itinerary, after the Erie (Pa) speech on the 26th, takes in these points: 1 Bufi'alc the evening of the 27th and ‘Medina, N. Y. the afternoon of the 28th, spending the evening at Niagara Falls; to Hornellsville by way of Buflalo on who 29th, Saturday, and speak in Hornells- wills in the afternoon; then to J amel- i‘town in the evening and direct to Chau- muqua, where Sunday will be spent. On onday, Aug. 31, Mr. Bryan will go di- h‘ect to Cleveland, where he will speak in rthe evening. Tuesday he will go to Colum- bus, 0., speaking there the evening of the 11515 of September and at Toledo on the 2d. The evening of the 3d he will speak in South Bend, Ind, and Sept. 4. No Speech In Chicago. Mr. Bryan does not expect to speak in Chicago. The morning of the 5th Mr. Bryan will leave for Nebraska, not making. any stop and going over the Burlington road. He says his speeches in. all the places will be very brief. ' It was late last night when Elliott Dan- forth of New York called to see Mr. Bryan, and he waited some two hours for him to return from a day’ souting. He said it was a friendly call, and Mr. Bryan reiterated it, but as Upper Red Hook is some eight miles from a small station where there are few, trains, and as Mr. Dan‘forth saw Mr. Bryan in New York six days ago, c'onciu- sicns are rather inevitable that the visit had some political significance. Mr. Dan— forth, when confronted with the question Of state support of Mr. Bryan by the Dem- ocratic party, said tersely: ”They will support him. I have no ydoubt of it. But the active work will nctg begin until our convention meets at Buf- falo. ” ' The second surprise came today when a son Of Chairman J. W. Hinkley of the Democratic state committee came here with an urgent personal letter from his fa— ther inviting Mr. Bryan to visit the camp .in the Catskills where are gathered a num- ber of prominent Democrats. When the messenger had gone, Mr. Bryan said that he had practically decided toacceptthe in- vitation and would spend a night there before leaving for the west. The Populists' Headquarters. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—The executive committee of the Populist party has ad- journed, subject to the call“ the chair man. It has accomplished all that could he done at the present time in arranging for headquarters here and branch head- quarters in Chicago. It was decided that J. R. Sovereign should be assigned to the Chicago headquarters, which will be un- der the management of Mr. Washburn of Massachusetts. Chairman Butler, Of course, will be in charge here, and will give his whole attention to the campaign. ’Mr. Butler will be assisted by Secretary Edgerton, who will be here during most of the campaign. C. H. Pirtle, chief of the senate document room, will be in charge of the sending out of documents. Mr. Butler said today that the class of lit- erature that was to be sent out had not yet been decided upon. As far as possible “ documents which can be franked will be sent out. These will include speeches by Populists in congress, and some of Tom Watson’s will be among the number se— lected. Some of the literature being sent out by the Democratic committee and also 'by the silver committee will be distribut- ed.. Chairman Butler said today that the committee was, of course, "embarrassed for want of funds, and Secretary Edgerton said that the committee must rely upon voluntary subscriptions as much as possi- ble. “We have chipped in,” said Chair- man Butler, “tc pay our expenses thus far. We have no rich men to make large contributions for campaign expenses. I expect we will have to make a campaign like others we have made in the south, where we have managed with very little money.” Chairman Butler will enter into corre- spondence with Populist leaders and with , free silver leaders in'varlous parts of the country at once and endeavor to effect an adjustment of all existing difficulties which will bring the supporters of silver and Bryan into harmonious action. The Silver party and the Populist party are today moving into headquarters with .the Democratic party in the Wormley l'buiidlng. The rooms to be occupied by the silver men and the Populists are be» . ing put in order for their occupancy. J. Sterling Morton’s candidacy. OMAHA, Aug. 21.-——Locai Democratic managers say they are not yet decided as to the presentation of Hon. J. Sterling Morton’s name as a presidential candidate at the national convention at Indian- apolis. A conference of gold standard Democrats will be held here within a few days to consider the advisability of pre- senting Secretary Morton’s name. N abras- ka may not send delegates to the Indian- apolis convention at all. , This will also be ' decided at the coming conference.

A London Newspapers Views. LONDON, Aug. 21. —.—The Westminster x Gazette this afternoon, in its financial article, attributes the fall in silver to the inability of speculators in the United States to carry silver purchased with her- rowed money and to the scarcity of buyers. It says: “The quantity of silver lying unused in the banks of China is large, there being much less demand for it owing to the setback to trade in both China and Japan, due to the smallness of the pur- chases of silk by America and Europe. What the people are anxious to know is the amount of silver which is still carried by speculators in the United States. But no information is obtainable upon this point, though it must be large. The price is now declining, and the figure may in- duce more active speculation both in Lon- don and India.” 8128. JOHN MILLAIS 1311111131). Members of the Royal Academy March to'st. Paul's Cathedral. -,LONDON Aug. 21. —-The funeral of Sir John Millais, president of the Royal acad- emy, who died on Aug. 13, took place in St.'Paul’s cathedral; today. .The ccrtege started from the housoat 10 o’clock.- The coflln, covered with a crimson pail, was placed upon an open car drawn by four horses.

When the procession reached Burlington House, it was joined. by the members of the Royal academy, who marched to St. Paul‘s cathedral. Most of the shops along the route were closed, and the streets were lined with people. Hosts of spectators also gathered around the cathedral, and within the edifice there was a vast crowd. Canon Scott-Holland and a number of minor canons met the procession at the grand entrance of the cathedral. As the procession passed up the central aisle the services began, the choir singing Croft’s funeral music. Admiral of the Fleet Sir John E.

TWO or THE THIBVES TAKEN The Others, Who Escaped, Are Believed to Be Wounded—A Fight In the u Early Morning ”With Pistols, Winchester-s and Shotguns. BEDFOBD STATION,'N, Y., Aug. 21.-—An attempt was made to rob the general store and pcstoflice of Walker B. Adams & Son early today. Mr. Adams, Sr‘Z, is at the point of death from a bullet wound, and two of the four burglars, who were seriously shot, were captured, while William Adams, the son, caves his life to a suspender buckle which deflected the bullet which struck him. The store 'of Adams & Son has been burglarized several times, and immediately after the last burglary the store was fitted with a complete burglar alarm, connected with Mr. Adams’ residence near b At a very early hour. this mcr 11g the alarm sounded, indicating that entrance was being efiected. Mr. Adams aroused his son, and after arming themselves they proceeded toward the store, which' 15 along- side the Harlem railroad track and 200 feet north of the Bedford depot. ' Mr. Adams, Sr., was armed with a dou- ble barreled shotgun and a 38 caliber re- volver, while Will Adams carrieda win- chester repeating rifle. As they approached the store they saw a man hiding behind a telegraph pole near th store. Young Adams drew a bead on him and ordered him to surrender.-. .~ The elder Adams proceeded to the rear of the store, and what happened there will probably never be known. . Young Adams had given his prisoner to the village blacksmith, Benjamin A. Schenck, and had proceeded to his post again. Hardly had he reached the front of the store when he heard a number of shots fired in the rear, and a man started from the shadow. Seeing young Adams, he called out,- “If you are armed, I' ll shoot you. ” Will Adams dropped on his knee, an,d laying his rifle on the store stoop, took good aim and pulled the trigger. The burglar threw up his hands and cried, “Oh, Charley, I_’ m shot!” and fell to the ground. ' Another Burglar Shot. As the 'man fell Adams felt something strike him in the back and turned. An- other of the burglars stood before himand cried out, “I’m shot too. ” He was made a prisoner and said he had been shot in the hand. The firing attracted the nearby residents, and they came quickly to the scene. Wil- liam H. Reynolds, the butcher, was first on the ground and was quickly followed by George B. Slocum, a teamster; G. W. Gardiner, coal dealer, and Charles Jack- son, a nurse. The firing had ceased.-. Blacksmith Schenck, hearing groans at the rear of the store, made his way in that direction fil‘d found Walker B. Adams ly- ing on the 1racks. He called for help, and Mr. Adam:- was picked up. It was round that a bullet had struck him almost in the center of the forehead and had apparently gone through his head, coming out at the rear. Dr. Carpenter 'of Katcnah Was sum- moned. He said Mr. Adams could not re- cOver. While Mr. Adams Was being cared for the two prisoners were forgotten and escaped. The burglar shot by Will Adams lay groaning on the track, and he was picked up and cared for. The Winchester bullet had struck his The man is large and portly, was well dressed and had plenty of money in his possession. A watch was placed on him, and search was begun for the rest of the gang. It was dayli ht before another of the burglars was foun, badly Wounded, lying near the fence on the Opposite side of the track "from the store, where he had crawled after being shot, probably by Will Adams. He had been shot in the middle of the back. He is a young man, slim, his face colorless and adorned with alight mus- tache. He was poorly dressed and has an evil appearance. Both prisoners were taken to the Mount Kiscc jail, as the feeling here ran high, and it was feared that they Would be lynched. Burglars’ Tools Found. Of the two burglars who esoaped it is believed both are slightly wounded. Word l - was received here that a man with one hand in his pocket was met on the Ridge- field road and had inquired the way to Stamford. When told that he had passed the read and must turn back for a mile, he said, “I’m not going back; I’m going ahead,” , and had gone on toward Ridgefield, Conn. The Ridgefleld authorities were notified. The man was about 5 feet 9 inches tall, well dressed in a brown or blue suit, with light alpine hat. He had no vest over his outing shirt. The other man was dressed in light clothes. The men left two satchels behind con- taining a complete'set of safe breakers’ tools, dynamite, drills, etc. . The safe in the store contained little money, and had the burglars been success— ful their haul could not have been more than $1, 000. ' " Conductor David Hannen remembers that the four men came up on his train last night at 10: 40 o ’clock and got on at Bedford. One; of the prisoners at Mount Kisco jail attempted to escape this morning. As the. doctor entered he jumped and attempted to overpower the physician, who called: for help and subdued the man. Bedford Station is on the Harlem divi- sion of the New York Central railroad-44 miles north of New York city. Elberon 4 Postoiflce Robbed. ' LONG BRANCH, Aug. 21.—Burgiars en- tered the postofiice and Postal Telegraph Office at Elberon, both of which are in charge of James Fay, and robbed it of all its valuable contents.
