Orcnt preparations were mndc for the demonstration In fa\or of International pence In Hyde I'nrk today under the auspices of the organization com mlttcc of the International Socallst and Trade Union Congress , which begins at St Martin's hall tomorrow. The demonstra tion committee had been atork on the ar rangements since na long ago as March , and had distributed 20,000 hand hills and 1,000 posters ; had emplojcd a band to head the procession and had made elaborate ar rangements with the commissioner of works and the police , but what they could not arrange for was the weather , which was against them today , and the downpour of rain practically made a fiasco of the demon Btratlon. Processions were formed In all parts of London of the socialists and mem bers of trade unions and their sympathizers and marched the H > de I'ark , the people's forum of London. When they arrived there rain was steadily falling and It gradually Increased almost to a deluge , keeping away nearly all the multitude that It was hoped would be there to listen to ilia speakeis. Tuelvo platforms had been creeled for the speakers by the carmen's union , and a chairman fur each had been provided by the demonstration committee. It was Intended to have addresses from each platform In French and Qorman , as well as In English , by the continental delegates to the congress. The speeches that vcro made In other languages than English were translated from the platforms. Very brlof speeches were made from these platforms by Tom Mann , the socialist cx- mcmbcr of Parliament ; Hen Tlllett , Bernaid Shaw , the well known writer on socialist topics ; Edward Avcling of the Gas Workers' nnil General Laborers' union , II. W. Wilson , Ilcrrcn Ilebcl and Llebknecht , socialist members of the German Reichstag ; Dr. Vic tor Adclor , the Austrian socialist ; M. M. Mlllcraud , La Fnrgue , Jules Guesdo anil Jean Jacques , soolnllst members of the French Clumber of Dcpullcs. The speal.ers declared tnat the masses of the people did not desire war , which , they Bald , was only provoked by the rulers and - the capitalists The names of Emperor William , Dr. Jameson and Cecil Hhodcs , when they were mentioned by the speak ers , were hissed by thu few auditors. Simultaneous resolutions wcro declared carried at the twelve platforms in favor of arbitration of the eight-hour law , of uni versal suffrage and of other measures ad vocated by the boclallsts , and denouncing "the greed of the lullng privileged classes. who provoke war In older to eontiol the markets of the world In their own Interests. " It wan further declared that In order to secure peace , the abolition of tha capitalist and the landlord system was necessary. P. J. Magulro of the American Federation of Labor was present at the demonstration in Hjdo Park. Delegates to the number of 718 have al ready arrived In London to attend the con gress. A reception this evening for the purpose of giving mutual Introductions was crowded to overflowing. AMITIinit 1'HIIIT IV MACEDONIA. Creel.

The Inroads by Qicek Insurgents Into Macedonia arc un doubtedly stimulated by the condition of affairs In Crete , where the Christian In surgents have as much sjmpathy from the Greeks as have the Cuban Insurgents from the people of the United States.

A rumor got oul oday lo Ihe effect that the populists would vlthdraw Watson , their candidate for vice president , If Sewall did not withdraw. A representative of the Associated press tolled on Senator Marlon C. Butler , chairman of the national committee , and asked him why , t his party desired a union of the silver forces , did they nominate another candidate for vice president. "Because , " ho said , "vvc found lhat by so doing our party organization could be better preserved In support of Mr. Bryan than by the nomination of Mr. Sewall " 'Docs not this selection lead to much embarrassment ? " "Oh , yes ; but it was our only alterna tive. " 'Wilt the democratic and populist na- lonal committees make some arrangement to unite their vote ? " "Tho two party organizations will be kept entirely sepaiatc and distinct and the two campaigns will be conducted separately on larallcl lines , but wo hope lo vole and bo united. " "It is rumored thai Mr. Watson will bo ivlthdrawn ? " "This will not bo done. The selection of Mr. Watson was a deliberate acllon by oveiwhelming vote and voiced Ihe senti ment of delegates fresh from the people , who Ihcmbclvcs had deliberated upon the situation sine" the Chicago convention. The people's party , In Us desire to unify the reform foiccs bo as to maku victory possible , met the democratic party more than half way by taking their candidate for presi dent. LRT SEWALL WITHDRAW. "Wo could not unite upon Mr. Sewall and If we had attempted to do so it would have disorganized our own forces and en dangered the election of Mr. Bryan. It Ib In nowise u leflectlon Upon Mr. Sewall and wo do not bctlvc that he or his friends will so consider it. On Ihe contrary , wo hope that ho Is patriotic enough to put the suc cess of the cause and the welfare of the rountry above personal Interests or aspira tions In short , Mr. Sewall Is the ono man In the United States who has It In his power to complelely unify Iho silver forces and make vlclory over the gold combine abso lutely ceitatn. This is the unanimous opin ion of our exccullvc committee. " In an interview tonight Senator Duller further said : "General James B Weaver , J. R. Sovereign , general master workman of the Knights of Labor ; "Cyclone" Davis of Texas , Hon. Thomas C. Watson , vice prcbl- dcntlal candidate on the populist ticket , and other speakers have gone to Alabama.to stump the state for frco silver. They will reach there Tuesday , and will speak In thu different cities each day until the election , which comes off on August 3. when members of the state legislature will be elected.

"The selection of a national headquarters has been left to me by the national com mittee , which met today , but I will not be able to make known my decision for several weeks. 1 shall have to carefully canvass the situation and look Into the claims of the various places mentioned. Those mentioned In the committee' were : St Louis , Chicago , Omaha , New York and Washington. The opinionseems to prevail among the members of the committee that a selection at pres ent was not Ihe best policy. I will probably not make public my decision until I call a meeting of the executive committee at some city convenient to all the members " George F. Washburno of Massachusetts , member of the populht national committee , stated tonight , when asked If Massachu setts would be carried by the free sllver- itcs : "The free silver movement tn my state has always been undereslimatcd , but I think it majority of Its citizens arc for the white metal. I cannot , however , estl- male whal ihe vote for Bryan at the com ing election will aggregate. When G. F , Williams returned from Ihe Chicago con vention , where ho was the only Massachu setts delegate to advocate frco silver , there was a demonstration In his honor thai the Boston Globe declared to have been the greatest ever seen In the state. This Is an Indication ot the feeling there. Wil liams will be the candidate for governor on the frco sliver ticket , and , while Massa chusetts has never been carried by the democrats In a presidential year , we think ho stands a good show for election. Can didates for congre-ss will also be put up In each district , but the greatest flglit will bo for Bryan. " ONLY LEADERS RKMAIN.

CHICAGO , July 26 Among those who re turned from St. Louis today was a gentleman - man who saw and read the suppressed dis patch from Mr. Hryan to Senator Jones , chairman of the national democratic com mittee. He possesses a fair memory and gives the following as the substance ot the ilocumont about which there was so much talk and excitement during the last day of the populist convention. What Is subjoined may bo relied upon as being substantially corrccl : 'Considering ' all Iho circumstances and conditions , " wired Mr. Dry an , "I havp con cluded that the populist convention should not consider my name for the presidency , but If It determines to nominate mo not withstanding this declaration , that Ihcro may bo no misunderstanding , I desire In advance to say that I shall not dining the campaign discuss any other Issues than those outlined in the Chicago platform. I deslie above everything else to be Instru mental in having enacted Into the laws of the United States the free and unlimited coinage of gold and sllvci at the present ratio of 10 to 1 , without awaiting the con sent of any other country The republican platform adopted at St Louis asserts that the bimetallic system should bo restored , but that th American people are helpless lo bring about bimetallism for themselves until foreign nations aie willing to assist. The American people cannot afford to sur render the right to legislate for themselves on all questions , and bo long as the right Is disputed It surpasses all others In Im portance. The populist platform presents several new Issues to discuss which , during this campaign , will , In my judgment , en danger the success of our cause. I am not willing to be a party to anything which will divert atlcntlon from the money ques tion "Nor am I willing to be placed in the attitude of securing help from other po litical organizations by sacrificing my asso ciate upon the ticket. Ho is as squaiely upon the Chicago platform as I am myself and he has defended the cause of bimetal lism against much gieater odds than have the men of Iho west and south. I dcslio to bo left free to bupport Sew all during the campaign. It Is duo to both myself and the populist convention that there should 1 c the most outspoken frankness be tween us " "To this dispatch , " said the gentleman , "there wr.s attached a postscilpt requesting that the statement bo read to the convention before the ballot was commenced " Why the dispatch was not lead , the rea sons for the objections of Senator Allen chairman of the convention , to Its readIng - Ing , 1-ave been given In the Associated press dispatches fiom St. Louis.

A Washington spe cial to the Globe-Democrat says : The nomi nation ot Bryan and Watson on the demo cratic-populist ticket has developed the re markable , fact that Mr. Watson has ridi culed and absallcd the head of the ticket and has accused him of Inconsistency and double dealing This Is but one of Ihe pe culiar fcatuics disclosed by the Congies- slonal Rerord for the Tittysecond congress , when Watson served from a Georgia dis trict and Bryan from the Lincoln district of Nebraska. The young Georgian was one ot the most picturesque figures who came to congicss when popullbin began to ilso. With him wcro Jerry Simpson , the "sock- less" statesman , who vied with Watson as the most unique member of tlio house Watson was e fiery and Impetuous debatei , always ready for a row , and he succeeded on many occasions in having all the row he was looking for. It was on April 1 All Fools' day that Watson made his onslaught on Bryan. The tariff bill was under discussion , and Watson was seeking to show that the re publicans were not honest In advocating protection , while the .democrats were not honest In advocating revenue reform. He took Bryan as the lypo of democratic tariff reformer. This Is what he said of Bryan : "On the other hand , we have our hand some and brilliant friend from Nebraska ( Bryan ) , who was put forward as the 'darling' of the democratic side of the house , the prettiest man in all the bunch and his entire Epeech , which ranged from Tom Moore's poetry to Joe Miller's Jest book , was the sum and substance of the old democratic position on the tariff that wo will practice what * Is wrong while vvc know what Is right. " After a burst of laughter Watson pro ceeded to the serious featuics ot the tariff. but soon returned to Bryan , and continued- "Now , my friend from Nebraska , in his brilliant ppccch , formulated the democratic platform In such attractive colors that he was loudly applauded upon the democratic side. What was thai platform ? After all the force of his logic , after all the splendor ot his rhetoric , after all the driving In the direction of free trade , the gentleman shirked the Issue when ho got to the actual enunciation of the results of his own logic , "Ho announced his Ideal democratic plat form not a platform you would have , but a platform you should l.avc a platform you could have If a man vvero sitting qui etly by his flro at night with his feet In his slippers , cigar In his mouth , a hot toddy by his side , nothing to disturb him , and Ideal democratic dreams In his head. "Now what was that platform ? It Is very prelly ; It has all Ihoague charms of Iho undefined ; It has all the boundless beauty ot landscape that has no limit. He says this phrase , 'tariff for protection , ' Is the only thing of which he complains. He says In effect , 'I do not object to It if It docs by Indirection what the other says It should do dliectly ; but I object to a tariff which says In plain words what It Is meant to do. ' " ( Laughter on the republican side. ) Watson quoted some of Bryan's glowing sentences , and then added : "That Is beautiful. * It Is like the old flub trap , with one mouth down the stream and the other up , and It 'catches 'em a-coraln' and a-gwlnc.

The following Btate- nienl has been made by Ignatius Donnely regarding the tangle Into which the populist convention led Itself : To the Associated Press I think the sit uation Is In good Hhupe and that nine tenths of the dclegatcx will go home witln- fled There are Home who believe Mr. Hryan should at once bo called upon to state whether ho will accept the platform , and Mr. Wattson an bis limning main , and if ho does not accept , then tncy will demand of the national committee that his nainu bo taken off the ticket and the name of Colonel Norton , who had the next highest number of voles , bo mistHulod. Thin would produce the utmost discontent all over the United States , and Colonel Norton would not receive one-quarter of tlio pop- ullht voto. the remaining three-quarters going to Mr Hryan. I think the better course Is that which I advocates ! In the convention , to wit : Iluv- iim nominated Mr. Hryan , wo should not call upon him to acc pt or reject our plat form , or to repudiate or defend Mr So- wall. If thlH vve-ro an Intent to morse the popullHt party Into the democratic : puly , a perfect Identity of opinion and principles would bo ncceHHury ; but It Is not Wo re main In our eamp anil our own territory , and himply agree to transfer for this cam paign our two or three million votew to Mr , Ilrynn , Not on the basis of tha deni' erratic plutfoim , but on the basis of Mr Iirviin'H worth. live i y pokpullst In the United States will , I believe , vote for Mr. Watson. If the ( lemocratH don't withdraw Mr , Sewall , there will bo no election of vice president at the ballot box , and the matter will KO Into the senate , uhero the populists hold the balance of power , and will compel the election of Mr. Watnon IGNATIUS DONNHLLY.
