(&) THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1896. Pole-Vaulting Gontests of the Turners at Santa Gruz. [Sketched on the grounds by a “Call’’ artist yesterday.] between C. Steinbeck of Oakland and A." Noethig of the Mission Verein, catch-as- catch-can style. They wrestled on the tan bark for fully | an hour without either getting a fall. | Each man was spurred on by the plaudits | of his personal friends, but they were so | evenly matched that they had to settle it another way. They tossed up and Stein- | beck won. | The ball at the carnival pavilion to-| night was a fitting climax to the two days’ | sports. It was a grand aftair. The | floor was crowded with dancers, including | many summer boarders at the hotels. The | dancing began about 9:30 o’clock, and con- | tinued until about 2 o’clock 1n the morn- | ing. There were as many as 250 couplés on the floor at one time. | At midnight there was an intermission, during which the athletes who had com- peted in the various contests during the | last two days were chiefly interested. The results were anpounced from the plat- form, and the announcements were en- thusiastically applanded The winner of each first prize was pre- sented with a laurel wreath or a bou- quet by a young lady of the Santa Cruz Tarn Verein, and he was permitted to kiss the fair donor. The method used by the | committee of judges was to take the per cent made by eachi man in each contest and make an average of the whole. | The results of the contests are as fol- lows, San Francisco Turn Vereins leading in nearly all the groups and classes: | 1cisco, neisco, 53%; John 2; J.

RETURNS TO SAN BERNARDINO. Thomas Prendeville Comes Back to Serve a Sentence Pronounced Over Two Years Ago. SAN BERNARDINO, Caw., Aug. 10.— Thomas Prendeville, a former Deputy Sheriff under Dr. Booth, who was ar- rested, convicted and sentenced to ten | months in jail in this city two years ago for contempt of court, in disobeying the : | order of Judge Ross restraining him from interfering with the United States mails at Barstow, has now returned to this city to serve his term of imprisonment. Prendeville was freed on his own recog- nizance and took that opportunity to flee. He has been absent over two years. He became very tired of having this judg- ment over his head, and so came to San Bernardino and gave himself up to Deputy United States Marshal Pourade. He then went to Los Angeles, and will return to the county jail to-night. Arrangements are being made to secure his pardon from the President, who is the only official who can free him. He has a wife and family in this city in very poor circumstances and Prendeville wishes to be released to provide for them. aercliiigd B 5 CROMSES THE SAN JOAQUIN., A San Joagquin Valley Railway ITrain Enters Fresno County. FRESNO, CaL, Aug. 10.—Earlier by two days than was expected, rails were laid across the Valley road bridge over the San Joaquin River to-day, and a train of the new road was upon Fresno County ground for the first time. The tracklayers had been waiting at the bridge for three days, and work on that structure was ushed rapidly in order that they might At noon the bridge was completed, and the track- layers immediately commenced work. They will be in Fresno by Saturday even- ing. S i Fancouver bongol Buried Alive. VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 10.—The body of a well-to-do Mongolian, who had been buried withont a doctor's permit several days ago, was afterward exbumed by a society to which deceased had be- longed, for the purpose of shipping the corpse to China. Caretaker Thomas of the cemetery, who was presert when the grave was opened, says that there were startling indications that the Chinaman was buried alive. The body was lying on its side, in a very unnatural position, with its knees drawn up to its chin, and there was other ghastly evidence that a terrible struggle had taken place in an attempt to force the screws of the coffin-lid. The body was shipped to China without any investigation by the authorities. AMERICANS MISTREATED, United States Citizens Harassed by Spanish Soldiers in Cuba. KEY WEST, Fra., Aug. 10.—Advices received from Havana state that the Spanish authorities are making life un- bearable for Americans on the island. They are hounded by Spanish spies and their homes searched on the slightest pre- text. The latest outrage was committed last Thursday in the city of Puerto Principe, when the residences of several Americans were searched by Spanish soldiers. The soldiers claimed to be in quest of arms and compromising documents. The search was conducted in the most bru- tal manner, furniture being destroyed, and the contents of trunks and wardrobes being = scattered. Nothing of an in- criminating nature was found, save in a room occupied by a Cuban woman ser- vant and her two little girls. The -moth- er had a revolver and the little girls had correspondence addressed to the chiefs of the Cuban Government at Cubitas. The mother and girls were hurried off to prison as spies and Weyler has ordered them court-martiaied. . Recently many young men have been leaving Puerto Princive to join the insur- gents. The last party to leave was discoy- ered by Spaniards, ‘and three of them, Aliredo Adan, Miguel Nunez and Augustine Torres were captured. They were promptly court-martialed and sen- tenced to be shot. Torres claims to be an American citizen, and at his trial vro- tested against the summary methods of the Spaniards. His protest was unheeded and he will be executed unless the United States interferes. BRYAN'S TRIP T0 NEW YORK, Incidents of the Journey Through Indiana and Ohio. GREETED BY MANY MEN Speechmaking From the Rear Platform of a Railroad Train. NO REST FOR THE NOMINEE Remarks of the “Boy Orator of the Platte” at Different Stoppinz Places. VAN WERT, Omro, Aug. 10.—William Jennings Bryan was at work early this morning. In fact,he had hardly left off handshaking after leaving Chicago before he began it again. He' did not get much sleep last night. People were waiting for him between daylight and dawn, and al- though he went to his berth shortly after midnight he was routed out between 1 and 2 o’clock to see a crowd at Valparaiso, | Ind. Valparaiso was reached at 1:35 o'clock. Mr. Bryan was lying in his berth, when Hon. J. C. Keren, a member of the Indisna Legislature, routed him out. He made a hasty toilet and went out on the platform, where he was again cheered. The crowd wanted a speech, but Mr. Bryan told them that he could not talk at that hour of the morning. Columbia was reached at 4:40 o’clock and another crowd was present. There was no lack of enthusiasm because of the early hour. At Fort Wayne more than 1000 people were waiting for the Bryan_train when it arrived at 5:35 o’clock. Mr. Bryan had fully dressed by this time. The gathering was bent on a speech, but it did not get any words from the young orator, except aremark about promising that he would not sPenk that early in the morning. The people rushed forward to shake hands, and during the seventeen minutes’ stop both arms of the nominee were worked in- cessantly. Monroeville, Ind., turned out a large- sized crowd, which cheered vociferously, and then the train crossed into Ohio. The first stop made in Major McKinley’s State was at Dixon, reached at 6:20 o’clock. People were lined by the hundreds along the streets of Van Wert when the train reached: there at 6:45. An audience of fully 1000 greeted Mr. Bryan. Cries of “speech” went up, but Mr. Bryan said he really conld not comply with the request. A serious panic was narrowly averted at Delphos. when the train reached there at 7:13. The crowd was large. Mr. Bryan had stepped to the platform of his car and just as the explanation that he could not make a speech was finished, the porch of a store direetly in front of the train and about twenty feet distant from where he was standing, gave way with a crash, car- rying with it more than 100 people. The shrieks of those who had been tumbled into the cellar beneath the porch and the frantic eagerness of others to get away, started a mad, panicky rush. *“Stand still, don’t move!” cried Mr. Bryan and others on the train, and their words brought the frightened people to them- selves. Nobody was hurt in the cave-in. When this was told Mr. Bryan, he remarked to the crowd, “If you would get on our platform it would not fall down.” A laugh followed and the people recovered enough from their fright to cheer the nominee as the train moved off. In addition to the score of newspaper correspondents who are on the Bryan train, Mr. Bryan is being accompanied to New York by Thomas Gahan, National Committeeman from Illinois, jndge Wil- liam Prentiss of Chicago, J. G. Johnson, National Committeeman from Kansas, and John A. Creighton, National Com- mitteeman from Nebraska. Lima was reached at 7:45. There were 1500 people waiting for the train. The demonsirations were enthusiastic in the extreme. Paogls spent the first few min- utes after Mr. Bryan came to the platform in cheering him and then shook his hand vigorously. Mrs. Bryan made her first appearance of the day and stood by her husband’s side. The neogle “were so busy shaking hands that they forgot to ask for the usual speech, until just as the train ‘was moving off. State Central Committee- man Durbin of Kenton joined the party at Lima and asked Mr. Bryan to make a speech at Ada, which he promised te do. There was a large gathering at Ada, nearly 1000 people in all. The cheering for Mr. Bryan was very hearty, and he and Mrs. Bryan were subjected to a severe handshaking ordeal for several minutes. Adfter an introduction by Professor Lehr 1was here a year ago he was & Bryan man. I Temember with a great deal of pleasure this city, and the students of the university, and I hope that they will become students of the -money question and be reguud to take their Partin this fight. [Lollg cheers.] At Dunkirk Mr. Bryan talked briefly, being introduced by Chairman Durbin, chairman of the State Central Demoeratic Committee, Crestline, the next stop, was made at 10:30. Bryan’s car was here switched to the rear end of the tramn, and the danger of the crowds that gathered to see and hear him being pressed under ~the wheels was obvfi.ted. Crestline's wel- come was noisy. Under the escort of P. W. Poole, Mr. Bryan was conveyed to a temporary platform near the station. Mr. {P‘fi"e introduced him and he spoke as ollows: Ladies and Gentlemen: I would not be sur- prised to find such an_ audience as this in ebraska, but I can hardly realize that such a one is assembled in the State which has the honor to contain the residence of my oppo- nent, éh“zhter and great cheerini.]n I must conclude from the enthusiasm which has been manifested ever since we crossed the line into Ohio thet Ohio has had so many Presidents that you have decided that you can spare one now. [Laughter and cheers.] It is generous of you, and 1 will promise you that if I am liv- ing When Nebraska has had as many as Ohio [ will come back to you and return the compli- IehY helglnz you to elect an Ohio man, provided an Ohio man be in favor of & finan- cial policy by the American Eeople for the American people. [Loud - cheering.] Un- less 1 mistake the character of the compliment, people among Whom Wwe live will. never support & candidate for the Presidency who Wi contine the policy of mortgaging the American people to foreign syndicates, when 70,000,000 of 'penple stand ready to protect the tressury of the United States. [Cheers.] Ithank you for this oppor- tunity of greeting so many of yaur people. I am gratified at the interest which you are tak- ing in this campaign. I want you to realize that in this contest we have an issue which ap- als to every man, woman and child in the and. Ave, more than that, upon the decision of the United States may turn the financial policy of the world. Not only in America, but all over the world, the toiling masses are Jook- ing for relief to that Nation which ou%‘x;z to stand foremost in every great reform. We have an opportunity whnich comes to few gen- erations, but thatopportunity brings with it its responsibilities. The policy advocated by our opponents is a continuation of the gold-stand- ard policy which they dare notdefend; the continuation policy, until foreign nations will help us to help ourselves. [Cheers.] If the goid standard is a good thing, I ask you why did not the Republican party at St. Louis de- | clare that the gold standard should be main- tained permanently? And if the gold stand- ard is a bad thing, why was it so cowardly as tosay to the American people: ‘You should submit to & bad thing until foreign people, po- tentates and powers come to the relief ofa suffering people.” [Cheers.] Put these two uestions to our opponents and you drive them rom the battlefieid. The first is, if the gold standard is good, why not keepit? and if bad, why should we keep 1t for a single moment? [Great cheering.] I thank you for your atten- tion. At Upper Sandusky, Ohio, 3000 people had assembled. Congressman Hare, standing beside Mr. Bryan, managed to secure silence long enough to present the nominee, and when the cheering that fol- lowed had subsided Mr. Bryan made a a few remarks in a husky voice which told of the strain of the past few days. An elderly man jumped on the steps be- side Mr. Bryan and shouted that he was afraid the country would be flooded with silver if the Democratic ticket was elected, His remarks were heard by the crowd and Mr. Bryan turned quickly to his audience and said: “If any of you are afraid of a flood of money I want you to vote the other ticket.” This caused cheers. “You know,” he continued, ‘there are & great many people who have lived in a drought so long that they are afraid of a flood.” The cheers that went up were loud and prolonged. During the speech at Crestline some ex- citement was caused by an attempt to steal a diamond shirt-stud from John A. Creighton, the millionaire banker of Omaha, who is accompanying Mr. Bryan to New York. Colonel Creighton was too quick, however, and made a grab at the thief, who was finally captured. Just before the train pulled out Judge Meredith of Shelby came up to Mr. Bryan and said: “Isbook hands with Jackson and came to shake hands with another Jackson.” 3 A reception of great enthusiasm was given the Nebraska orator at Mansfield, the home of Senator John Sherman. The crowd was large and- full of a desire to cheer. Several thousand - people were packed around a stand erected close to the railroad tracks. The Democratic candidate, his collar wilted, a_handkerchief around his neck, soaked with perspiration and looking alto- gether very warm, was_presented to the congregation by James P. Seward, a promi- nent lawyer, and chairman of the citi- zens’ reception committee. A wild hurrah went up and then Mr. Bryan said: Ladies and gentlemen: Iesteem it a privi- Jege to stand in the home of the Senator who 15 more responsible for the present financial policy of this country than any living man in it. [Great cheers.ll 1 beg you, without de- tracting from his high honors and from his ersonal worth, to consider the financial pol- Fcy presented by the Democratic platform and decide for yourselyes whether our volicy is better for you and for your own interests than the policy so ably supported by your towns. if we present to you that which is good we be; ou to accept it, even though it is oppose y those who live among you. We have people in our State Wwho be lieve Senator Sherman’s policy is the wisest one; but I believe thatthe American people will decide that the United States is strong enough to legislate for itsown people on every question without asking the consent of any other nation on earth. [Cheeiing.] I thank you for this vast assembiage here, and 1 beg you tp realize the duties which rest upon American titizens. There are some who be- lieve thatonly in times of war can people prove their patriotism. I was too young to prove my patriotism in the time of war, but I glory thatin a countiy like this every year presents a battlefield and every day gives those who live in the country an opportunity to prove their devotion, and in the campaign upon which we are now entering, which in my judgment is & repetition of the campaign of 17¥7li, there1s an opportunity to prove whether you are patriots or tories. [Loud cheers.] Mr. Bryan returned to the train and shook hands with many people before it left. There were cries for Bland as well as for Bryan at Wooster, where the two arrived at'12:35 », M. It was evident that the Bryan sentiment in the several hundred people there was predominant. Mr, Bryan responded to the emotional expressions of of the crowd in a few sentences. He was cheered, and then the cries for the veteran silver champion were renewed until Mr. Bryan explained that Mr. Bland had gone ahead but that Hon. L. E. Holden, whom many of them knew, was on the train and had been so frequently taken for Bland that he would present him. The people wanted to cheer somebody so they cheered Mr. Hoiden. Foremost in the crowd at Orrville, num- bering about 300, was Carl Browne, chief marshal of Coxey’s disbanded army, who is living in a tent at Massillon. Mr. Bryan was in the dining car when the train reached there, and, napkin in hand, came to the door and was loudly cheered. He started to speak, but the train began to move and the effort was lost. Massillon was reached at, 1:25 o’clock. A,frent crowd gathered at the end of the railway trestle. The old flag of the Com- monweal army that was carried from Mas- sillon to Washington was displayed with & new inscription, ‘‘Bryan can stay on Coxey’s grass.” In response to loud de- mands for a speech Mr. Bryan made a short address, while Carl Browne dis- tributed pictures of the Democratic nomi- nee to the crowd. The train’s departure cut the speech short. PETR R R AT MAJOR McKINLEY'S HOME, The Democratic Nominee Well Received by the Residents of Canton. CANTON, Oxnro, Aug. 10.—The morning trains carried many passengers to this city, all bent on seeing Bryan. The local committee was early astir and nothing was left undone to make the reception, however short it might be, a most en- thusiastic one. Two cars loaded with members of the Pittsburg citizens’ recep- tion committee came in from the Smoky City shortly before noon. Delegations of the Ada Normal School Mr. Bryan | Were also present from all near-by towns said: Ladies and Gentlemen: I cannot withstand | thusiabts, formed a parad the temptation to say a word here.. Professor | to the Lehr is one of the original Bryan men. When and cities. These, with the Ilocal en- e and marched where almost voter in t, Cantoné&omnbliun. Democrat and Pop- ulist—had assembled.. Every available piece of vantage ground was taken. When Bryen’s train hove in sight there was great cheering and confused vells of “‘Har- rah for Mcfinleyl” and “Hurrah for Bryan!” Several McKinley banners were displayed. s It was necessary to switch Bryan's car through the railroad yards in- order to attach the special car of the Pittsburg reception committee, While this was be- ing done Mr. and Mrs. Bryan mounted a flav car in front of the.denot. Mayor Rice of Canton, chairman of the reception committee, introduced Mr. Bryan as the man who represents the American people better than any man who ever became a candidate for the Presidency. The Demo- cratic mominee was greeted with ereat cheering. Hatswere thrown into the air and the enthusiasm of the crowd was man- ifested in every conceivable way. Bryan’s reierences to McKinley were ireeted with entbusiasm, and each time e referred to the Major there were yells of *‘Hurrah for McKinley.” Mr. Cheirman, ladies and gentlemen: When Ireceived notice a short time ago of the or- ganization of a silver club in this city Ilittle imaginea the tremendous sentiment which seems to be behind that club. § I am glad to meet those of this city, the home of my distinguished opponent, and glad 10 testify to his high character end personal worth. [Great applause and cheering.] I shall be satisfied if asa private individual I may be able to stand beside him in public es- teem. [Loud appiause.] But, my friends, this is not a contest between persons. It mat- ters _little to the American people whether your distinguished feilow-towns- man_ or myself, as individusals, occupy the chief executive position of the greatest nation upon earth. [Greatand continued applause.] But it does matter for what policies the President shall stand. [Renewed appiause.] In this campaign persons are lost sightof en- tirely in the cause which those persons repre- sent. In my State and in iy own city are many peoplé who believe the interests of the courtry will be better served by the election of my opponent, and 1 am gratified to know that in his State there are many who believe that the interests ot the country will be best served by his defeat. [Loud cheers.] He is your neighbor, as we understand the word, but if I am not your geographical leader 1 beg you to turn to the Scriptures and to read the parable of the neighbor. In this contest I hope to be the neighbor of those who have fallen among thieves. [Great and continued cheering.] He is & neighbor who in the hour of distress brings relief. In my humble judg- ment at this time, when we are crushed by a European financial policy that our opponents tell us we must endure until foreign relief comes to us, I believe that the neighoor of all the toiling masses is the man who asks for the immediate restoration of the free and un- limited coinage of silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 _[thunderous applause] without waiting for the aid or con- sent of any other nation on earth. Tomy neighbors at home I say that if they believe my opponent should be elected 1 shall bear them no ill will, and I have so high a regard tor my opponent that I know he will say to his 'townsmen bere, that every one of them should feel free to make his ballot represent a free- man’s will, although it may result in keeping your distinguished citizen among you as & townsman still. [Loud applause and shouts of (i ¢ 1 nere he belongs.”] I thank you for your kind attention and bid you good-day. ‘When Mr. Bryan had concluded he jumped.down from the car and turned to, assist Mrs. Bryan to alight. Mayor Rice, however, detained her a moment to intro- duce her, and as she smiled and modestly bowed she'was received with a round of applause. Just as Mr. and Mrs. Bryan boarded their car a lady pushed her way through the crowd and presented Mrs. Bryan with a bunch of roses. Mrs. Bryan smiled and thanked the lady. Asthe train ulled out Mr.and Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. land stood on the rear platiorm bowing to the cheering thousands. H e PITISBUKG ENTHUSIASTIC. Monster Reception ZTendered the Demo- cratic Standard-Bearer. PITTSBURG, PA., Aug. 10.—The arrival here to-night of W. J. Bryan was made the occasion of several big political demon- strations in bis honor. ‘When the train rolled into the Union station at 6:45 o'clock, several thousand people filled nearly all available space in angd about that structure, and as Mr. Bryan alighted from his car, adcompanied by the local reception committee, he was wildly cheered. ' The route to the Central Hotel was crowded, and the nominee received an ovation. The street in front of the hotel was packed with people. In response to continuous cheering, Mr. Bryan appeared on the balcony of the hotel, but would not make a speech. N Afterdinner Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went to the Grand Opera-house, where the Democratic candidate addressed an im- mense audience. The heated atmosphere was almost unbearable and nearly every man in the audience had his coat off. ‘When Mr. Bryan began to speak his voice was husky and showed signs of failing un- der the severe strain of the past few days. He said: Mr. Chairman end Fellow Citizens: I am not expected to enter into a discussion of this campaign, because it is not considered proper 1o discuss the campaign—at least for the can- didate to do it, until after he has formally been notified of his nomination, Therefore I am going to give those who will come after me the discussion of such ques- tions as may be pertinent at this time. I shall simply thank you for this extraordinary and unexpected welcome. When we left home 1 told them that we were Coming to open the eampaigh in what was now considered the enemy’s country, but which we hoped would be our country before the campaign was over. gApp]lnse.] Therefore I have been more grati- ed to find that it was not necessary to open the campaign in the East—that it was already opened. [Applause.] 1shall promise you this: That in the prog- ress of this campaign, not a singie private in the ranks will stand nearer to the enemy’s like than he in whose hand is the standard. Mr. Bryan defended the Democratic platform and declared thav its adherents were not to be terrified by hard names or by accusations of being opponents of gov- ernment. “What we attack,”” he said, “‘are the abuses of zovernment and notthe Government itself.” He asserted that the one great question that must be settled before others was the financial policy of the Government, after declaring that we must not intrust our legislation to those who say we must de- pend on the leglslative acts of other coun- tries. He continued: Ihave said that in this contest we have a repetition of the contest of 1776, and in this campaign as in that the line will be drawn be- tween the Patriot and the Tory, When I say that I don’t say it, my friends, to criticize the man who believes that this Nation is not big enough to legislate for its own people. People believe in honesty, but Iwould call your at- tention to the fact that in the struggle of our forefathers for liberty there were those who honestly believed that we ought to continue the political supremacy of Great Britain. Honest they were, but mistaken, and if you go to the cemeteries you will find no monument reared by a grateful people to commemorate the names of those who thought that British domination should be continued. Mr. Bland followed Mr. Bryan and other speakers discussed the issues of the cawmn- paign, but the interest ended with Bryan’s speech. e DESPERATE DEMOCRATS, Bloodshed Follows the Appointment of a Chairman at Huntington.

LST OF TROLLEY VICTIMS SWELLS, Six Persons Killed Qutright and Sixty-Two Are Injured. THE MOTORMAN IS DEAD, So It Cannot Be Told Just How the Awful Accident Happened. STORIES WIDELY DISAGREE. How the Packed Car Shot Down the Steep Grade and Landed in a Deep Ditch. LANCASTER, Pa., Aug. 10.—The acci- dent on the Columbia and Donegal electric road last night proves to have been more serious than was at first reported. It is the worst accident that has occurred in this country for many years. Up to this morning six persons were dead and sixty- two injured. Some of the injured are in an extremely critical condition and may die. Following is a list of the killed: H. H. HEISE, Chief Burgess of Colum- bia, who jumped from the car and broke his neck. ADAM FOEHLINGER of Columbia, motorman of car. HENRY SMITH of Columbia, puddler. WILLIAM PINKERTON, boy, of Col- umbia. WILLIAM J. LUDLOW, Seagirt, N.

Just how the accident happened cannot yet be told, for the motorman is dead. All that is known is that'the car ran away on a steep grade and jumped the track. One story is that the brakes broke, but this has not been confirmed. The stories told by the passengers disagree very widely. Chickies Park, a few miles beyond Co- lumbia, is a favorite resort, especially in hot weather. Yesterday the weather was exceedingly warm and the park was corre- spondingly crowded up to a late hour. ‘The car to which the accident happened was the first to leave the park after the concert was ended. It was a big closed car and was packed to its utmost capacity. Everything went well until the car was within a short distance of Columbia, There is a sharp descent on the line at this point, with a curve at the bottom. Asthe car began to descend the passengers no- ticed that it' was running at a perilous rate, and it was soon evident that the motorman could not control it. 3 Some of the passengers say that the motorman attempted to check the speed of the car when it first started on the down grade, but that the brakes refused to work and that he was powerless; but others accuse him of recklessness, saying that he was trying to make soeed and did not try to check the car until it had gained such momentum that he could do nothing. The car heid the tracks until the carve at the bottom of the road was redched. Then it jumpea the tracks, shot across the turnpike for about 100 yards, crushed into a train standing there and then fell into a diteh twenty feet deep. A few of the passengers jumped when the car was making its rush across the roadway, ana all received injuries more or less serious. Hardly one of those in the car escaped without being badly hurt. The car 1tself was badly wrecked. As soon as possible after the accident assistance was sent to the scene. Three persons were taken out of the wreck dead— Adam Farlinger (the motorman) and two others. Of the injured three were so badly crushed that they died soon after being taken out. DEMOCRATS VISIT McKINLEY. Pittsburg’s Bryan Reception Committes Pays Iis Hespects. CANTON, Omio, Aug. 10.—The Pitts- burg Bryan and Sewall reception commit- tee, bringing with them Hon. Richard P. Bland and wife, arrived in Canton this morning some time before the hour scheduled for Bryan's train to arrive. It was suggested that a call be made on Major McKinley, and the idea was readily taken up by the sixty members of the committee. Forming in line, they marched from the depot up to the Major's North Market-street residence. Major McKinley was of course very much surprised to find himself thus greeted by a delegation of Democrats, but hastened out on the veranda and extended to alla warm welcome. County Chairman Hawley, of Alleghany County, introduced Morris Foster of the committee, who made a short speech. He said: “Major McKinley, we believe that every candidate for the Presidency is worthy of the highest respect, regardless of his polit- ical affiliatious. The members of this committee have therefore called to pay their respects to you as American citi- zens.” Mr. McKinley as he advanced to respond 'was greeted with a hearty round of cheer: He said: *“Mr. Chairman and gentlemen: I am very glad of this opportunity to greet you, and am very grateful for the generous words spoken by yvour chairman repre- senting another polivical organization. We are all of us proud of our country and of our country’s history, and we should 2ll be determined to make this Govern- ment in the future as in the past the best Government in the world. From you who disagree with me politically it is very grateful to have assurance of your per- sonal goodwill. I thank you.” As the Major concluaed there was another burst of applause and then every- body passed forward to shake hands with him. Mr. Bland and his wife, after the committee had returned to the depot, re- mained and spent an hour with Major and Mrs. McKinley. While the Bryan demonstration was in rogress at the depot Major McKinley was guslly engaged with his mail. There were few callers. to-day and he was able to do considerable work on his letter of accept- ance. e OLD SOL'S ECLIPSE. Americans Make a Successful Observae tion in Norway.
