BRYAN CHANGES HIS CAMPAIGN

We Will Enter Actively Into the Cam

Meantime Needed Rest Will be Taken—
The Troposed Trip to Maine Aban

Mall.
Mr. Bryan’s Movements.
Nr.w Yemc. Aug. IS.— After a confer*
• nee with members of the Democratic
national committee It was decided
that Mr. Bryan should tour the coun
try nest month, addressing people at
all towns visited from the rear of a
railroad car, and the following an
nouncement was prepared by the
chairman of the national committee,
Henator Jones: “It has been decided
that Mr. Bryan will enter actively
into tha campaign about Neptember 1
and continue on the stump until tha
election. In order to obtain a much
needed rest and to prepare the letter
of acceptance before the speech mak
ing begins, he will spend the next two
weeks at some quiet place not yet do
elded upon The visit to Bath, Ma.,
will, therefore, he postponed until tha
latter part of Neptember, when Mr.
liryau will make a number of speechea
In New England.”
The members of the national com
mittee felt that it would not be welt
for Mr. Bryau to visit Maine prior to
the htate election next month, when
the Republicans are almost certain to
win. Chairman Jones and bis chief
advisers are afraid of the effeot of a
disastrous defeat of the sliver men In
that Htale following a aeries of
speeches by Mr. flryan tbare, as ba
had set his heart upon doing. Thay
are also said to be afraid that ha will
make some mistakes in the oourse of
his speeches and thereby injure his
cause and, though Mr, Jonee an
nounced a general tour of the coun
try, there Is an undercurrent In the
natlonul committee that the best
thing for the Democratic cause would
be for Mr. lir.van not to make any
more speeches from cars.
Mr. itryan was urged to consent to
* re-arrun vcinunt of his plan*. He
has had the policy to offer no resist
ance to Hits wishes of Mr. Jones and
Mr. Gorman and will avoid Main# un
til after that state's election.
Mr. Itryan explained as follows his
reasons for reading his speech In re
ply to the notification of his nomina
tion at Madison Squara garden:
“Knowing that it would be printed in
full, 1 thought it more important that
It should reach In correot form the
millions who will read It than that
•he delivery should please the few
(thousands who were present. It is
always unfortunate when a speaker is
compelled to read a political speech,
but in this instance I thought it bast
not to risk the errors which always
creep Into the report of an extempo
raneous speech.”
Mr. Itryan applied himself this
morning to disposing, with Mrs.
Bryan’s aid, of a three days' accumu
la ion of correspondence. Both will
leave to-morrow for Irvlng-on-the
Hudson, where they will remain until
Mondav as the guests of John Bris
bane Walker, editor of the Cosmo
politiari. From Irving they will go
to the Upper Bedrock where they will
be entertained by Mr. and Mr*. B. U
Perrin for about a week. Mrs Per
rin was formerly Mrs. Bryan's schqol
teacher It Is expected that Mr.
Itryan will speak at Buffalo on Aug
ust 27 and at Erie, Pa., two days
later.
MELVILLES OPINION.
The Engineer of the Jeanette Party
Talks About I>r. Nansen's Eqpedltlon.
Washington, Aug. id.—Commodore
Melville, engineer Id chief of the
navy, who was a member of the
Jeanette party, which served as a
pattern for Nansen's attempt upon
the Nortli pole, holds that 'be result
of the explorer's voyage clearly proves
Nansen's theory of polar drift to he
groundless. In his opinion Nansen
only closely paralleled the voyage of
Wypreebt and Payer in the Tegethoff,
who rounded the north point of Neva
/ein Ida with the intention of travers
ing the north eoust of .Siberia. During
the winter their ship was crushed
and in the following summer the
escaped In their boats and were picked
up olf Cape Nassau, one of the heud
lands of Nova Zmnblu Nansen, Com
modore Melville points out, did not
enter the ice on the side of the polar
basin from where he was picked up.

Nora Zembla and he Just drifted

DR. NANSEN'S RETURN.
Four Degrees Nearer the North PoD
Than Any Other Explorer.
Malmo, Sweden, Aug 15. — The
newspaper Dagensn.yheler has re
ceived communications from Dr. Nan
sen and Lieutenant Schottansen from
tbe island of Vardo, Norway. These
communications state that they aban
doned the Fram in the autumn of 1805
and resorted to the ice.
The steamer Windward, oarrying
supplies to the Jackson-Farnsworth
expedition, picked them up near
Franz Josef land. They expected
that the Fram would eventually drift
to the east coast of Greenland.
Did Not Kearh the Pol*
Dr. Nansen left the Fram on March
14, 1806, in 84 degrees north latitude,
lie traversed the polar sea to a point
88 degrees, 14 minutes north latitude,
situated north of the new Siberia
islands. No land was sighted north
of 82 degrees of latitude, or thence to
Franz Josef land, where he passed
tbe winter, subsisting on bear's llosh
and whale blubber.
Dr. Nansen and his companions are
in the best of health. The Fram is
expected at Vardo or Bergen shortly.
She stood the ice well. There were
no sick persons on board when Nan
sen left her/
The steamer Wlndv/ard took letters
for Nansen when it started to tbe re
lief of the Jackson-Farmsworth expe
dition, as Mr. Jackson expected to
find Nansen and was convinced that
his idea of drifting across the pole in
the ice was impracticable. He was
also convinced that Nansen would re
turn in the direction of Franz Josef
land.
Dr. Nansen failed to reach the
North pole, but he touched a point
four degrees nearer than any other
explorer has done.
Has Hatn Gone Three Year*
ur. rriujui iimincu •uni wu uu uw
expedition in the little ship Fram, to
try to reach the North pole, in June,
IMS. HU plan wax different from any
that bad hitherto been attempted, It
was baled on the theory of an open
polar sea and the existence of current*
setting northward into it from ttie
New Siberian islands. Dr. Nansen
proposed to sail northward from Nor
way and eastward along the Kura sea,
skirting the Siberian coast to the New
Siberian islands; then leaving the
iaad to continue northerly until the
pack ice was reached. He intended
to ram bis ship into the ice, trusting
to the current* (the existence of whlpn
had been indicated by the drift of
certain relics of the ill fated Jean
nette), to carry him with the ice pack
into the polar sea, and out again be
tween the eastern coast of Greenland
and the island of Spltzbergen.
In accordance with this plan, Dr.
Nansen had his vessel, the Fram—in
English, the Forward—built upon a
special design, Intended to resist the
pressure of ice. The hull was U
slisped In section, built with the
greatest strength and braced inside,
so that its power of resistance would
be such that the pack ice, instead of
crushing it, would lift the vessel on
the ice.
Tbs Good Ship Fram
Shej was 101 feet long and with a
beam of one-third her length. She
was fitted with an engine of ICO horse
power, capable of developing a speed
of six knots an hour, consuming about
two and three-quarter tons of coal a
day. The crew consisted of twelve
men. The ship was provisioned for
five years and carried 300 tons of coal.
She also had an electric light plant
and alcohol for use In cooking. She
was provided further with six strong
boats for use in Arctic waters, with
dogs and sledges and a complete
outfit of Arctic supplies Captain
Otto Sverdrup, an experienced Arctio
navigator, who had accompanied Dr.
Nansen on previous exploring trips in
Northern regions, had command of
the ship.
The Fram left Vardo July SI. The
first part of her voyage was made suc
cessfully, her ice-resisting qualities
especially meeting the expectations
of her commander as far as they had
an opportunity of being tested. The
last seen of the ship was when she
sailed from Chaborewa, on the strait
of Jugor, Siberia, on August 3, 1803.
There M. O. Christoferxeu, the secre
tary of the expedition, bade farewell
to Naneen and his companions, who
started on in excellent spirits. There
have been various rumors that Nansen
had been heard from, and that he had
found the North pole, but they have
all proved totally unfounded.

SIR JOHN MILLAIS DEAD
Til* Prssldsat of tb« Royal Academy
*>«oabi to Throat Cancer.
Lokdon, Aug. 14.—Sir John Millais,
president of the Royal Academy, died
late this afternoon from cancer of the
throat, with which he had been af
flicted come time anti for which a
critical operation wae performed early
in May.
Mlllas was made a baionet In 188s,
He succeeded Lord Leighton In the
pratldenoy of the Koyal Academy,
February *0, this year Other honors
were conferred upon him at home and
he was the recipient of several foreign
decorations
One of Millala' greatest successes
and the work perhaps by which he Is
best known to this day lethe "Hugue
not Lover," a canvass of exquisite
delicacy and beauty, and Interesting
chiefly, aside from Its merit, because
the romance of hla life was Inter
woven In It. The art philosopher,
John Buskin, an anchorite always, a
hermit among hla books, was fn no
wise fitted for a married life and least
of all to be wedded to the sympathetic,
affeetlonote little English woman
who was Mrs. Ruskln then and who
found In him only a moody savant.
Irresponsive to her caresses. Posing
at first for Millais as a diversion, she
found numberless attractions In the
olever young men, and If Ruskln bad
not awakened to the fact that hla wife
had begun to love elsewhere there
might have been a broken heart and
a spoiled life. But the philosopher
knew how to bear defeat and, be
sides, so engrossed wae ha In his all
absorbing studies that a wife did not
matter much to him. With hardly a
moment's hesitation, once he was
aware that the women oared for Mil
lais end could be happy only with
him, he handed her over to his
friend. "If you love her, sbe Is
yours," the great eritle Is reported to
vm* is*. ii mi iu»> uivvi vv vw mm
pushed through the oourte as rapidly
as possible, and as soon as it was
J ranted Mr* Kuskin became Mr*
oho Millais. Without n single pang
of regret the author of "Modern
Painters” turned back tc his books
end left the young eouple to make
their way.
A happy marriage in proved. A
family soon sprang up under the Mil
lais roof-tree, and John Kverett Mil
lais grew more and more prosperous
every year lie attributed his success
in life to this romance of hi* boyhood,
and the faot that his wife, even
though she was not his then, stood In
th* canter of the little canvas that
has sines become so renowned.
TROUBLE OVER GOLD.
■ss greaetsoo Banks Bsluse to Pay It
Oat on Chicks
Francisco, Aug. 14.—The ad
vance of gold a fractien of 1 per cent
above par in New York le causing
local banks much trouble with people
who wish to deposit sliver and ebeok
out gold. Some of the banks refuse
to take any considerable amount of
silver on deposit.
During the past two months the
supply of gold coin In the subtresaury
has decreased from about gifi.OUO.OUO
to less than 19,000,000. This enormous
shrinkage was one of the prime causes
which led to the issuance by Assistant
Treasurer Derry of the now famous
order which stopped the redemption
of silver certificates in gold coin, n
practice which was followed by hi*
predecessors for many years.

ting copsheof of tha day's triumph. II
has excited the amazement of the peo
ple of Pittsburg, and the joy that II

doubtable “Silver Dick" has mani
fested Itself in their beaming features
since they struck the cltv limits

and meetings wore held In each. Long
before the hour for opening the door#
the entire street in front of these
structures wee packed full along tha
entire block, and after the doors bad
been opened and the structures were
filled the crowd outside bad suffered
but little perceptible diminution. A
corps of about 100 policemen was on
doty nt the various entrances, and in
the course of the early evening them
was an incipient riot In which one
person was severely beaten and some
of tne officers had their braes buttons

might be necessary in coming so far
toward tha Bast to bring a few of our
people to keep up the enthusiasm,
while I presented tne truth* set forth
in tbe Democrotio platform. (Loud
oheering.) But after I have seen n
few auaienees ilk* this I wondered
whether I might not take baek a few
of you to set an example of enthusiasm
to the people of the West (Laughter
and cheering.) There it no more ‘wild
Weet;’ it is the wild East.” (Tret
mendou* cheering and laughter and
cat calls.)
Mr. Bryan resuming: “I am not
expected to enter into a discussion of
tbe issues of the campaign because it
te pot considerate to discuss tbe cam
paign—at least for a candidate to do
so—until be ha* been formally noti
fied of the nomination. Therefor* I
am going to leave to those who eons
after me the discussion of sueh ques
tions as may be pertinent at this
time, and I shall simply thank you for
this sxtraordlasry and unexpected
manifestation of Intelsat"
Mr. Bryan spoke at some length
