He will make a number ot epeeches, but they will all be in con nection with special occaslons and not a part of a general swinging around the cir- cle, That much was determined during the talks which Mr. Bryan had with the mem- bers of the executive committee and that was all which was determined The committee membership was revised %0 as to give New York state representa tion on ft. Committeeman Head of Tennes- see withdrew, glving as a reason that he had mot time to attend to its duties, and Norman E. Mack, proprietor of the Buffalo | Times, national committeeman from N York, was named in place of Mr. Head on the executive committee. Speaking of his own plans for the cam palgn so far as they were determined today Mr. Bryan sald No regular program of speeches by me will be mapped out and no special ftinerary oW arranged. 1 shall make a few hes during the campalgn, The times and dates wiil be announced from time to time as they are declded upon. Just now there is no announcement of any kind to make, by cause no date has becn fixed nor any ar- rangement made.

Then Committee CHICAGO, The executive com- Aug. 10, mittee of the populist party today decided to call & meeting of the national committee of that party, to be held In this city on August 27. At that meeting the question of filling the vacancy on the presidential ticket occasioned by Mr. Towne's declina- tlon of the nomination for the vice presi- dency will be disposed of. The claim was made by some of the members that this wction could be taken by the executive com- mittee, but reference to the minutes of the proceedings of the popullst convention showed that the power to nll vacancles is vested only in the full national committee, Eight out of ten of the members of the executive committee were present. Senator Butler, chairman of the committee, was one of the absentees. He made no explanation of his failure to attond and tae other mem- bers are at & loss to account for it. The committee isstied the following ad- dress: CHICAGO, Aug. 10, 1900.—To the Members of the ePople’s Party, Greeting: The ex- ecutive committee of the people’s party takes this method of expressing to you its gratification on account of the ahsolute harmony which exists between the allled parties. There Is no discord anywhere. On the contrary a commendable spirit of rivalry exists between the democrats, populists and silver republicans as to who shall make the | unrivalled | best record in support of leader, W. J. Bryan We have not felt authorized to fill the vacapcy on our ticket occasioned by the declivation of Hon. Charles A. Towne, have called the national committee to meet in this ity August 27 We trust there may our be a full attendance Meanwhile rest assured that no discord will grow out of the vice presidential situation J.

The notification by the free silver re- publicamk will be at a later date and prob- ably at St. Paul. VOLUME OF WORK INCREASES a ded Telep) MHtlew w tra Clerical Help Used to Assist President, 0., Aug. 10.—Evidence of the increasing volume of work at the McKinley home was furnished today by an extension of the long distance telephone connections with the house and the arrival of an addl- tional stenographer from the White House. This work begins early In the morning and continues far into the night in the working room of Secretary to the President Cortel- you and President McKinley himself puts in about the same hours The president personally considers all of the Chinese news and gives personal atten- tion to all affairs of state referred here ex- cept the matters of the most common rou- tine. In consequence he has little time for recreation or social intercourse and cannot recelve visitors with the promptness that characterized the earlter days of hin vaca- tion. In fact, his present life has little of the vacation flavor about it His health {8 good, however, and he ha experienced much benefit from his sojourn here. Mrs. McKinley s also much the bet- ter from living in her own home free from the restrictions and formalities of an official residence. Dr. Rixey, who attends her, says she {8 in better health than she bas been for & long time. This he attributes largely to the Canton vacatlon, both on account of the climate and the home life.
