The Democratic Candidate. “’ill Take a Two “'eeks’ Rest at Irviugton-on-Bud- son—Important Political News“ From Varidus Points. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Bourke Cockran, by his acceptance of a proposition made by the assembly of Lake Chautauqua, has challenged William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate for president, to joint debate on the financial issue; ' . Two or three days ago the assembly sent invitations to Mr. Cockran and Mr. Bryan to appear at Lake-Chautauqua at a date convenient to them and discuss the rela- tive merits of silver and gold as money. No reply has been received from Mr. Bryan as yet, but Mr. Cockran today noti- fled the Sound Money league that he would »meet Mr. Bryan at Lake Chautauqua at any time and debate the issue with him. Candidate Bryan has accepted an invi- tation to be the guest for two weeks of John~Brisben Walker, a New York pub- lisher who lives at Irvington-on-the Hud- son. . Mr. Bryan, according to plans arranged today, will remain at Irving-ton for two weeks and will then start for his home in Nebraska. He will make two speeches on the way. - The first will be at Buffalo on the even- ing of Aug. 27, upon‘which date ex-Presi- dent Harrison wiii open the Republican campaign in New York city. Mr. Bryan will also speak at Erie, Pa, on the even- ing cf Aug. 29. He will then go to Lincoln, and about Sept. 8 will start on 'a tour of the southern states. Difficulties of Fusion. RALEIGH, N. 0., Aug. 15.—Chairman Manley of the Democratic state executive committee has replied to the letter of Sen- ator Butler regarding fusion. Senator But- ler proposed fusion on? electors, the Demo- crats to nominate six and the Populists five; fusion on the state ticket, the Demo- crats to nominate the candidate for gov- ernor and the, Populists to furnish the candidate for United States senator, or vice versa; fusion on nominees for representa— tives in ‘ congress, each party to present nominees in; four districts, allowing a free fight in the_ odd, district, and fusion, on anaequita’b‘le iratio, on legislative candi- dates. The Democrats had only proposed fusion on the electoral ticket. Mr. Manley says that the Democratic committee ‘ ‘made this proposition for elect- oral fusion in perfect godd faith, and we express the hope that our inability to come to any satisfactory arrangement to the ex- tent and in the manner you propose will - not be allowed to stand in the way of some just arrangement by which Mr. Bryan, the nominee of the Democratic, Populist and Silver parties, shall receive the united sup- port of their organizations. Its failure to have one electoral ticket for Bryan may re— sult in Mr. McKinley receiving the entire electoral vote of North Carolina, although he receives many thousands less of the popular votes at the polls than may be re- ceived by Mr. Bryan. It may be that the loss of the electoral vote of North- Carolina will..resblt in. the election of McKinley and the fixing of the gold standard upon Itwas to avoid the possibility of such a result that the Democratic executive committee made its proposition of July 81 for electoral fu- sion, presented it in a more definite shape at its meeting on the 10th of August and now again presses its acceptance upon you. “There is also a warm and sincere de- sire on the part of the Democratic party that the prospect of financial reform legis- lation demanded in the Chicago platform and reiterated in the national platform of the People’s Party in the event of the elec- tion of Bryan shall not fail because of the want of a majority for silver in the na- ‘ tional house of representatives, and to that and every effort on the part of all parties believing in silver should be directed to the defeat of gold standard candidates in ev- ery congressional district in the state, and‘ if at any time before the election in any congressional district there should be run- ning for congress two silver candidates,the representatives of our respective parties, and the division of the silver vote thus brought about should make probable‘the election of a gold standard candidate, I' believe it would become our duty in some honorable way to meet the situation so as to prevent this result. ” Nebraska Gold Democrats. LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. l5.—Whatcver the gold standard Democrats may do at In- dianapolis, itis quiteevident that the state of Nebraska will not put up any gold standard Democratic electors. It is well known that Tobias Castor, N. S. Harwood, A. J. Sawyer and John A. E. Amos of Lincoln, D. T. Cook of Beatrice and other gold standard men are opposed to any such move. They contend that such action would help Bryan more than McKinley. Today Mr. Castor said: “I am not aware what Chairman Martin proposes doing. There has been no meeting called of the state committee yet, and I do not know when there will he. I don’t know whether or not Democratic electors will be put up in this state. For my part, I am oppOSed to it. ” Chicago Will Probably Get It. Wasnmo'ron, Aug. 15.—There was a rush of visitors at Democratic headquarters today, including General A. J. Warrior of Ohio, chairman of theBimetallic league, who arrived today: Representatives'Fith- in of Illinois, Swanson andJones of Vir- ' ginia and Mr. Pcugh, the Democratic .can- didate for congress in; the "Fourth North Carolina district. ' ‘ '- " . . , » Chairman Faulkner said the question of locating national headquarters would . be settled before the week closed, but he had no information encouraging to Washing- ton’s claims. General Warner, who. had just come on from New york, said the feel- ing was that as the contb’st'wasto be waged in the states ‘ surrounding Chicago it would be natural to make Chicago the‘ cen- ter. At the same, time he said therewas no definite decision up to the time he‘left. ’ » . ~ -—-v-~‘i - stir" . v ‘- Thnrsto'nvrll Confident.

ELLENSBURG, Wash, Aug. 15.—-The Democratic, Populist and Republican free silver conventions did not agree to any plan for fusion. The time was devoted to the discussion of local affairs. It is ex- pected that the committee appointed will agree upon a plan within a day or two. . A Committeeman Resigns. FBEEPORT, Dis, Aug. ifs—William 0.

LONDON, Aug. 15.—-The queen’s speech at the proroguing of parliament first men- tions the advance on Dongola, and then says: “The condition in some portions of the Turkish empire continues to furnish cause for much anxiety. At present Crete is the principal center of the diisturbance. I have observedstrict neutrality,.but in con- junction with the other powers of Europe have endeavored to bring about reconcilia- tion by proposing the establishment of a system of government which would be equitable and acceptable to both Christians and Mussulmans. ” The speech then refers to the rising of - the Mashones and. Matabeles, paysa trib- ute to the courage and self reliance of the settlers and adds: “Theefi'crts of my troops are telling on the resistance of the rebels, who, I trust, will shortly avail themselves of my offer of clemency.” . ’ ' ‘ ‘ ' ‘ The speech concludes with a recital-of the measures adopted by parliament dur- ing its session just ending. DARING ' BANK ‘ ’ROBBERS. Three Masked Men Ride on With 810.- 000 at Montpelier, Ida. Pocarsuo, Ida., Aug. 15.—Word was received here from Montpelier, Ida, that three masked men rode into town on horseback, stepping in front of the Bank of Montpelier. . . * They dismounted and compelled six men who were standing in front of the bank to go inside. ' . Two of them covered the men with re- volvers, while the third went behind the counter and emptied all the cash in sight into their sucks. The robbers thengrode out of town. Sheriff Davis organized a pogse-of 30 men, who are in pursuitof the robbers, only 30 minutes behind. It is thought they are heading for Jack- son’s Hole, and if they reach that place their capture will -be uncertain, as the Hole is thought to be filled with a gang of desperadoes and renegades, who will resist their capture. The bank officials refuse to disclose the amount secured, but it is believed to be fully $10,000. New rsir Will Evidence. . SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15. -—Lee D.

He adds that wherever they penetrated they found the. ice; broken. Large patches of water Were also found 3,800 meters deep. Below the depth of 190 meters the 'water was. appreciably Warmer. probably. owing to the gulf stream. Rocky scars, of which the explorers had no previous knowledge, prevented entrance into the Olenek river, for days. p In consequence of the scarcity of dogs with the expedition,Dr. Nansen was com- if he had been provided with a sufficient number of dogs and canoes the pole would have-beenreached. The land voyage was most arduous, (but extremely valuable sci- entific results were obtained. In the au- tumn of 1895 Dr. Nansen reached the north coast of Franz Josef Land and built a stone house in which he lived the whole winter. The J ackscn-Farnsworth expedi- tion arrived at Franz Josef Land during the following spring. - ‘ Dr. Nansen telegraphed to a Christiania newspaper, “Home safe after a fortunate expedition.” From other telegrams it is learned that he failed to reach the pole, but " touched a point 4 degrees farther north than has ever been reached before. He left the Fram in 1895 and took touthe ice. He went as far as 86.15 ' north "latitude, but saw no land north of 82. ' Commodore Melville's Criticism. ,WAsnING'rox, Aug. 15.-—Without ques- tioning the accuracy of the reports that, come by cable from Norway announcing the return of the arctic explorer Nansen safely from his novel and adventurous voyage in the Fram, Commodore Melville, - engineer in‘ chief of the navy, Who was a. member of the ill fated Jeannette party, ' which served as the pattern for Nansen’s ' attempt upon the north pole, holds that the result of the explorer’s voyage, as now understood here, clearly proves Nansen’s theory of polar drift to be groundless. In the opinidn of Commodore Melville, Nan: brated voyage of Wyprecht and Payer in thc,Tegethcff and has followed theirdrift. The Tegethoff rounded the north point of Nova Zambia with the intention of traver- ~ sing the north coast of Siberia. Her com- manders got in the ice and drifted north and east while the gulf ‘ stream favored in the early fall. Afterward when the stream lost its force they drifted south and west, bringing up on Wfitsee island, one of a small group southward of Franz Josef Land. Nansen, Commodore Melville points out, has had a very similar experi- ence. . THE sum 31:. PAUL. The Big Liner Breaks the Record From Southampton to New York. , NEW YORK,'Aug. 15.—The American line steamship St. Paul, from Southamp- ton, crossed Sandy Hook bar at 9:32. . The St. Paul left Southampton last Sat- urday at 1 :35 in the afternoon and has made the trip in 6 days and 57 minutes. She has beaten the new record made last Friday by her sister ship, th: St. Louis, of 6 days 2 hours 24 minutes, the record hav- ing been previously held by the St. Paul. . The St. Paul previous to starting on her trip was placed on the drydock at Southampton and thoroughlyoverhauled, so she was inthe pink of condit’iOn. “ p The St- Paul made the best run for-'24 hours on her trip from Southampton on June 27, covering 540 knots in that time while in company with the big Cunard steamer Lucania. _ The . Paul, aided .by the muggy weather today, mana ed to elude the vigi- lance of the ‘ofisbore arine observers and was not sighted until she put her nose in- side cf Gedney’s channel. The pilot. station boat hoi3ted a large American flag to greet her, and the Al Foster, loaded with fishermen bound for the banks, passing her in the channel, sa- luted her. The flag at the marine observatory was dipped and the signal “Welcome” given her. , . An Extraordinary Suicide.
