Mr. Bryan In the Knit.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 27. The boo-
ond day ot William J. Bryan's trip
Westward from tho seclusion of Rod
Book was an eventful one, crowded
with n variety of incidents of travol,
Including a picturesque reception at a
inmmer hotel, a stirring speech to a
crowd oi worklngmen at tho town of
Kingston, and culminating in a great
mooting at Albany, whero the candi
date spoke to a crowd estimated at
from 7,000 to 10,000 people, packed in
the city hall squure, under the shadow
of the state house.
Before this demonstration, Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan sat down to u dinner with
Senator Iilll and prominent Albany
Democrats at the Senator's magnifi
cent home, "Wolfert's Roost," whlthor
they were driven directly from tho
depot, where a strong lunged crowd
camo near to mobbing them on tholr
arrival.
Thoso who met tho Democratic can
didate and his wife at Air. Hill's much
discussed dinner were: Supromo
Court Judge Q. Cady Ilerrlck and
wife; Louis W. Pratt, tho collector of
customs, and- wife; Norton Chase,
chairman of the city Democratic com
mittee, which, with other local organ
izations, had the meeting in charge.
For nearly three hours Mr. Bryan
was the guest of tho Now York Sena
tor, and although every participant in
the dinner averred that it was a
purely social affair, their descriptions
were taken with a grain of Bait, it
being the general impression that an
andorstandiug was reached which
will insuro to Mr. Bryan tho support
of the party organization in this
Stato.
The crowd began to gather in the
eity hall squaro two hours before the
meotlng, and when Mr. Bryan faced
them the people were packed in solid
masses over Beveral acres of pavement
and sod, with adventurous men
perched like bouquets in tho branches
of trees and climbing telegraph and
lamp posts. Mr. Bryan said in part:
"In a campaign, thero is always
Some overshadowing issue; there is in
a campaign always one great para
mount question which, more than any
other, will determine tho allegiance
of thoso who support the ticket; and
In this campaign we appeal with con
fidence to those peoplo who are op
posed to t, longer continuation of the
gold standard policy in the United
tates. Our opponents have at last
taken a definite position upon the
money question. The Republican
?latform adopted at St. Louis declares
hat the gold standard must be main
tained in this nation until other na
tions shall consent to its abandon
ment. We believe that declaration
whloh commits us to a gold standard
until other nations come to our relief
is equivalent to a declaration in favor
of a permanent continuation of the
f-old standard, because wo do not be
love that other nations will take pity
upon us before we take pity upon our
own people.
"Can you think of all tho wars of
tho past; can you remember that from
the time that Cain killed Abel until
Sow history has been little more than
a record qf warfare; can you remember
gll those wars and can you add in one
rreat Bum all the misery that those
Wars have caused, and then can you
think of tho pestilences which have
Visited tho earth and tho misery that
they havo brought, and then can you
think of the famines that have afflict
ed mankind from time to time; can
you add into one great sum all the
misery caused by these three dread
destroyers of the human race; and
then think that tho consummation of
the conspiracy of those who stand be
hind the gold standard would bring
more of misery than all of these?
"Money can bo too good. It can bo
so good that you can long for it and
firay for it, but cannot got hold of it.
Laughtor.) Remember that when
ever you mako money dearer, when
you increase its purchasing power,
you have simply driven down the
value of other things, and if those
who own money and who hold con
tracts payable in dollars are willing
to so legislate as to make their prop
erty more valuable, how can they ap
peal to thoso who own property and
owo debts to join them In that sort of
legislation? I have asserted, I assert
again, that without the aid of tho
money-owning classes tho gold stand
ard would not Btand for one day in
any nation under tho sun. I assert
that behind the gold standard in this
country tho only potent force con
sists ofthose who hold fixed invest
ments, and those who, as brokers,

men who have spent their time in try
ing to break down labor organizations

man has hod these aro tho men who
now come to the help of tho laboring
men. I ask you if you ought to ex
peot blessings from those from whom

past?" (Cries of "Nr, no.")

THE RISK OF STEWART.
Alexander Turnoy Stewart, who
amassed the Stewart millions, was
born in Llsburn, near Belfast, Ireland, '
Octobor 12, 1803. Ho emigrated to '
America early and studied for the ,
ministry, but with tho consent of his
guardian abandoned that purpose. 1
Returning to his native country at his
majority ho received a small fortune ,
loft him by his father and invested it
in Irish laces and linens, which ho
brought to this city. In 1825 ho started
a modest store here and with his wlfo
for had just married lived in a baok ,
room or two. His frugality, industry
and enterprise secured him phe- j
nomenal success. Ho moved into
larger and larger quarters and
during the war had two vast
establishments in this city with '
branches all over the world, employed ,
3,000 mon and enjoyed an annual in- I
come of from 1 to i million dollars, j
In 1809 President Grant appointed
"him Secretary of tho Treasury, but
his confirmation was prevented by an
old law which excludes from the office
those interested in the importation of
merchandise. Stewart offered to de
vote his profits to charity during hla
incumbency, but the senators were
obdurate. Stewart built a marble
mansion at Fifth avenue and Thirty-
fourth street, which is ono of the
finest private residences In the West
ern hemlspere. Ho died April 10,
1670. .
JUDGE HILTON'S ASCEND ANCF.
, "Judge" Henry Hilton was a strug
gling law clerk when ho made Stow
art's acquaintance. Not much more Is
known of him, for ho has maintained
a consistent retlcenco with reference
to his origin and antecedents, and
moro than once has the headline
"Who is Hilton?" indicated somo spec
ulative articlo in the newspapers, lie
obtained so great an ascendancy over
Stewart in the merchant's declining
years that once an acquaintance of ,
both, in answer to tho query, "Who is
Hilton?" said: "Hilton is Stewart" 1
It is known that Hilton spent a num- '
ber of hours daily in consultation
with Stewart When Stewart died it
was found that he had willed com- '
fortable incomes to several relatives
and dependants, $1,OOC,000 to Hilton
and the residuo and bulk of his estate
to his wife. '
The day Stewart died Hilton and
another went to tho dead million- '
aire's confidential bookkeeper and (
found that the Stewart Interest In tho
great dry good business amounted to
about 812,000,000. "Just what I told
you," saiu union to uis companion,
and they drove away.

Shortly boforo 0 o'clock a naval of
ficer was sent to the palaco squara
with another message for Sayld Kha
lld, asking him If he was prepared to
surrender in accordance with tho
terms of tho ultimatum, and again
notifying him that tho palaco in which
he had barricaded himself would bo
shelled at 0 o'clock promptly if ha
failed to haul down his flag boforo
that time.
Sayld replied that he would die
sooner than surrender. His answer
was conveyed to Admiral Rawson and
the British consul general, and tho
crews of the ships, which had been
prepared for action the day before,
were sent to quarters.
At 9 o'clock tho flagship signalled
the Raccoon, Thrush and Sparrow to
begin firing and a moment lator tho
vessels opened Uro with their heaviest
guns. Ton minutes lator they had
torn great gapes In tho palace, scatter
ing death and confusion among Ha de
fenders, dismounting some of tho guns
ashoro and putting to filght the gun
ners handling the pieces Tho fire of
the warships was admirably dlreoted
and smoko wan soon seen to be issuing
from several parts of the palace. Dur
ing this time the St George and tho
Philomen were held In rasorve,
although they occasionally plumped a
ahell into the enemies camp, adding
to the dismay of its defenders.

The Raccoon, Thrush and Sparrow
kept up the bombardment until 9:6o
o'clock, when the palaco was tumbling
In ruins and largo rents had been
made in the barricade of Sayld'a fol

swered the fire ot the warships with
great gallantry and did not stop firing
until, in response to the flagship's sig
nal ot "lease unng, the guns 01 the
warships stopped showering shot and
shell ashore. Tho losses of the enemy
aro not known, but it is certain that
several hundred wore killed off
wounded, especially among the de
fenders of the palace proper.
During the bombardment, the sul-
Jan's armed stoamer Glasgow opened

few well aimed Bhells from the heavy

Soon after the palace caught fire and

they asked for protection, whloh was
urviordcd to them.

toAig. Ms from tho Jagshlp St George,
reinforcements of marines and sailors
were sent ishore from the British
ships, and the Tork of capturing, tho
insurgents, collecting tao dead and
attending to the wounded was com
menced. mSURQENT8 QUICKLY BUDDUED.
When the insurgents had been com
pelled to lay down their arms and
were 6eourely corralled by tho ma
rines and blue jackets tho latter
were ordered to try to distinguish the
flames in the palaco and in the old
custom bouse, which had also bean
shelled and set on fire, as tho Insur
gents had fortified and had to be
driven from the building. But at noon,
in splto of the efforts of the sailors to
extinguish the flames, the palaco was
a mass of blazing ruins, the old Cus
tom house was in ashes and a number
of other buildings, demolished or sot
on fire by exploding shells, wero in
ruins.
No casualties are reported among
tho British ashore and, though all
business naturally is at a standstill,
order was completely restored before
nightfall and the foreign residents
were able to return to their residences
