NEW YORK, Sept. 30. —Senatcr James
K. Jones, chairman of the Democratic na-
tional committee, after a talk with Mr.
Bryan, announced that Bryan would go to
St. Louis on Oct. 4, would speak in Mem-
phis and Nashville on Oct. 5 and would
be in Indiana on Oct. 6 and 7. From
Indiana he will go to Burlington, 1a.,
where he will speak on Oct. 8.
“Beyond that speaking dates have not
yet been arranged,” Senator Jones added.‘
“Mr. Bryan will probably go from Iowa
to South Dakota and then go through
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. He
proposes to continue his vigorous campaign
to the end. ”
“Is the report true that you have with-
drawn your speakers and abandoned the
fight _in Ohio?” was asked.
, “It is not,” was the reply. “The elec-
tion returns will show what kind of a fight
We are making in Ohio. ”
”What do you think of the claims of the-
Republican managers that they will carry
Maryland, Kentucky and West Virginia?”
asked the reporter.
“They have just as much reason for in-
cluding Texas and Mississippi,” Senator
Jones replied.
Still Short of Funds.
“How about the report that your com-
mittee is short of funds?” was asked.
‘.‘ That is true, ” replied the senator. “We
have been short of funds all along. It is
too true,” he added sadly.
Senator Jones’ room at the Fifth Avenue
hotel was filled with callers. Some of them
were Senator Blackburn, Congressman
McMillin, William P. St. John, Amos J.
Cummings and a few Tammany Hall lead-
ers.
When Mark A. Hanna was informed of
Bryan’s intention to continue his stump-
ing tour till the end of the campaign, he
said: “Good. We desire nothing better.
I was afraid he would stop speaking."
Mr. Bryan Very Hearse.
a Mr. Bryan looked well when seen by a
reporter, but was very hoarse, so hoarse,
indeed, that his words could hardly be dis-
tinguished. He said that he could say
nothing about the political situation.
When questioned about the report that his
managers had abandoned the hope of car-
rying any of the eastern states, he an»
swered: “Do you suppose Iwould be talk-
ing in these states if that was so? I ex-
pect to see Senator Jones and other mem-
bers of the national committee and have a
talk with them about the campaign.”
He Would say nothing concerning the
' nomination of Wilbur F. Porter of Water-
town for governor and Frederick C.
Schraub of Lewis county for lieutenant
governor.
Chairman Butler’s Manifesto.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—It is understood
that Chairman Butler and Secretary Ed-
gerton have prepared an address to the
American people on behalf of the Populist
national committee, setting forth the posi-
tion of the Populist party in the present
The address is intended to be
in effect a reply to Mr. Watson’s letter, al-
though it will not be addressed to Mr.
Watson nor take especial note of his com-
munication.
So far as can be learned the document-
will state oflicially the attitude of the
Populist party in regard to Mr. Bryan,
will detail the reasons for and the circum-
stances attending his nomination and ap-
peal to the members of the party in all
parts of the country to allow nothing to
stand in the way of their giving the presi-
dential candidate their loyal and undivided
support.
It is not yet absolutely decided whether
the document will be made public. Prob-
ably this will not be determined until
Messrs. Butler and Edgerton have had an
opportunity to confer with Mr. Bryan.
This will be afforded when Mr. Bryan
passes through Washington on his way to
West Virginia. The two Populist mana-
gers will join him here and travel with
him part of the day. '
Senator Butler declined either to con-
firm or deny the report that the issuance
of the address was in contemplation or to
discuss the subject in any way.
Candidate Levering Talks.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 30 ——Joshua Levering,
Prohibition candidate for president, ar-
rived in Pittsburg and opened the cani-
paign for the, Prohibitionists of Pennsyl-
vania at a meeting in Carnegie hall, Alle-'
ghany. Mr. Levering was accompanied by
Hale Johnson of Illinois, his running mate
on the Prohibition ticket. Speaking of the-
outlook, Candidate Levering said McKin-
ley’s chances for election seemed the best.
Notwithstanding the free silver defection,
Mr. Levering thought the Prohibitionists
would poll 30, 000 more votes than in 1892.
Mr. Levering will soon start on a tour
through the southern states. He said that
there was much encouragement for the
Prohibition cause . in the south. and all
‘that it needed was a little attention to
make it pronounced.
A Claim For Kansas.
TOPEKA, Sept. 30.—-The allied free sil-
ver forces have made public the result of
a poll of the state. J. Mack Love, chair-
man of the Democratic state committee,
says: “Bryan will carry Kansas by 50,000
majority. We have officially heard from
enough counties in the state to warrant
me in placing the majority at that figure,
and it would not surprise me if it went
even above that.”
Fusion In North Carolina.
'.RALEIGH, Sept. 30.——-'1’he state commit-.
tee of the Bryan Democrats has appealed
to the Populists to fuse with them on
candidates for representatives in the con-
gressional districts, and it is thought that

Congratulations For the Fix-Secretary
From His Son.
ENGAGED BUT FIVE DAYS.
The Happy Groom Says a Very 7. Quiet
Wedding Was Arranged Because of
the Recent Death of the First
Mrs. W'hitney’s Father.
BAR HARBOR, Me., Sept. 30. —The wed-
ding at noon of William Collins Whitney,
ecretary of the navy in Mr. Cleveland’s
first administration, and Mrs Edith S.
Randolph, daughter of the late Dr. Wil-
liam May, sister of Fred May and widow
of Captain Arthur R. Randolph, gives a
quite romantic climax to the season’s
gayety at this summer home of American
refinement and wealth. The arrange-
ments for the wedding in the quaint St.
Saviour’s church were of the simplest
character. There was no formal or official
announcement of the nuptials. Only a
very few personal invitations were sent
out to friends who chanced to be at Bar
Harbor.
No noted clergyman was summoned to
tie the nuptial knot, the pastor of St.
Saviour’ s, Rev. Mr. Leflingwell, being
selected to perform this duty. Mr. Whit-
ney, through a friend, asked the towns-
people, as many of them as desired, to
come to the church.
Without Pomp and Display.
The bride, a stately society beauty, ar-
ranged to approach the altar without
bridesmaids or attendants, save her broth-
er, Frederick May, to perform the duty of
giving the bride away. There were no bus-
tling ushers engaged, no best man. In
fact, the arrangements were of a character
eminently befitting the occasion.
Senator Henry B. Payne of Ohio, who
died only a few weeks ago, was the father
of the late Mrs. Whitney, and young Harry

Gertrude Vanderbilt, bears his grandfa-

ther’s name. Because of the death of Mr.
Payne Mr. Whitney desired the greatest
simplicity and quietness. Mr. Whitney
has not occupied Mosley Hall, his former
residence here, this season, but has spent
most of the summer with his daughter,
Mrs. Paget, at her Newport home. Mosley
Hall isa magnificentplace, overlooking
the Anchorage, on the shore of French-
man’ s hey, the home of Mrs. Randolph
during the past five years.
Mrs. Randolph opened. her house early
this season and has entertained lavishly
with her mother. Mrs. May, and her sis-
ter, 11116.0. K. Wright of Washington,
who have a beautiful place on Strawberry
hill. _. Mrs. Randolph has a fine “residence
in New York at 127 East Fortiethrstreet,
and her evenings have been delightful to
those fortunate enough to attend them.
Mr. Whitney’s Wooing.‘
Mr. Whitney came to Bar Harbor only.
last week. He' set up in a modest way in
a small cottage at Mount Desert and Main
streets, called Corners Meet. Mr. Whitney
was quite attentive to his neighbor, the
fair Widow Randolph, last season, and she
was one of a small party who accepted Mr.
Whitney’s invitation and rode to North-
east Harbor in his yacht to attend the
Gardiner-Hall nuptials, and near the close
of the Season Dame Rumor announced
their engagement. Mr. Whitney promptly
denied the story, however. The announce-
ment of the wedding came as a great sur-
prise to the remnant of the summer crowd
still at Bar Harbor.
W'ho the Bride Is.
Mrs. Randolph and her sister, Mrs.
Wright, were always referred to in their
maidenhcod as “the beautiful May girls.”
Edith married Captain Arthur R. Ran-
dolph ofOWiltshire, England. He died nine
years ago suddenly of heart disease, leav-
ing a comfortable fortune which, added to
her own, madeher very wealthy.“ She has
two children. The elder, Adelaide, is now
16 years of age. The other, a boy, is away
at school.
Dr. William May, her father, was a well
known physician of New York and Wash-
ington, whose name will be handed down
in history as that of the man who identi-
fied the body of Wilkes Booth, the assassin
of President Lincoln. '
There were three of the beautiful May
girls, accomplished as Well as beautiful.
Carrie married William Wright, from
whom she was divorced; Alice is now
Mrs. Beaver Webb, and Edith 8., who,
like her brothers and sisters, was edu-
cated in Germany, was 19 years old when
she met Captain Randolph in Germa-
ny. He followed her to America, gain-
ed her parents’ consent, and they were
married. Mrs. Randolph was one of the
party on board the yacht Mohawk as guest
of Commodore Garner and his wife when
the yacht was struck by a squall in the
lower bay. Mr. Garner and his wife Were
drowned. Mrs. Randolph was an accom-
plished swimmer, and, aided by Colonel
Schuyler Crosby, she was able to keep
afloat until rescuers arrived. This was in
the early seventies. '
, Only Engaged a Few Days.
Mr. and Mrs. Whitney will remain here
a week or so at the Anchorage. “I may
go to Hot Springs, as we intended going
some time ago,” said Mr. Whitney. “I
cannot say about a European trip, which
was broken off by the Chicago convention.
I became engaged to Mrs. Randolph but
last Friday,” said Mr. Whitney, “and we
thought that we would take time by the
I wished the wedding to be pri-
vate on account of the death of ex—Sen-
ator Henry B. Payne. II have not bought
a residence in Bar Harbor and cannot
say about coming here next year. My
son Harry has started from Lenox with
his bride for Japan on the continuation of
the honeymoon trip, and a congratulatory
message was received by me from them
this morning.” ‘

Rumor That He Will Marry lilies Edith
Collins In October.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. ——Following on
the heels of the annduncement of William
C. Whitney’ a marriage to the charming
Widow Randolph, after repeated and vig-
orous denials of their engagement, comes
a revival of the rumor of the engagement
of that most interesting of widOWers,
Chauncey Mitchell Depew, to Miss Edith
Collins, his ward in chanccry. Rumor
says the wedding is to occur in October,
and the story is widely accepted.
When Mr. Depew’s services were needed
on this side of the water by Cornelius
Vanderbilt to persuade C. Vanderbilt, J r.,
not to plunge into the matrimonial whirl-
pool with Miss Grace Wilson, several years
M_.r Depew was in Europe
traveling, and Miss Collins was his travel-
ing companion. Mr. Depew hurried back
in response to the call of duty, and Miss
Collins hurried with him. A few days
after young Cornelius and Miss Wilson
were married. -Miss Collins returned to
Europe, and Chauncey saw her oil.
Now the rumor comes across the sea that
Miss Collins has been attending to the
purchase and censtruction of sundry elabo-
rate gowns and millincry that, so Mme.
Rumor says, could never be for any other
use in this world than that of a bride, and
therefore it follows as surely as the night
the day that she is to become Mrs. Depew,
and that not later than October, for gowns
go out of fashion with awful rapidity.
All the world is a joke to Chauncey De-
pew, and when he has been asked about
his rumored engagement he has only smiled
in that happy way which brings joy to the
heart of the man who has told. his best
joke. But Mr. Depew won’t say a word.
Miss Collins is a great-granddaughter
of old Commodore Vanderbilt and is a
very, very distant relative to her jovial
guardian. Commodore Vanderbilt’s
daughter married President Horace F.
Clark of the Union Pacific railway. Their
daughter, Lulu Clark, married George Col—
lins, and Miss Edith is their daughter.
Her grandmother, Mrs. Vanderbilt- Clark,
married Robert J. Nivens on the death of
Mr. Clark. Mr. Depew’ s first wife was a
Miss Hegeman, a cousin of the Nivenses,
and that’s how Miss Collins and her guard:
' ian are related. Miss Collins is 25 years old.
She is tall and plump and has black hair
and brilliant, black eyes. She has been Mr.
Mr. Depew’s
son Buster is now about 18 years old,’and
