MONROBVILLE , Ind. , Aug. 10 Hon. Wil liam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska nnd his party left Chicago a little before midnight on the Pennsylvania road. The train had barely passed the city limits be fore Sir. and Mrs. Bryan retired to their room In the compartment car. Again did the Bryan party fall to catch up with Hon. and Mrs. R , P. Bland , who left Chicago on an earlier train , Intending to join the Bryan party nt Alliance. J. Gllmoro Johnson , democratic commtttceman for Kansas , and likely to be a member ot the executive com mittee ; J. Malonc of Juncau , WIs. , comnilt- tceman from that state , and George J. Stcrnsdorf of Chicago , an old friend of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan , and whose child was , by resolution ot the Nebraska legislature some four years ago , named after the rising young congressman from Nebraska , are traveling with the Bryan party. Hon. John A. Crclgh- ton of Omaha , a member of the notification committee , Is also with It. Mr. Bryan was feeling unusually good over a meeting nt Chicago with/Hon. A. J. Warner of the Bimetallic league and with Hon. Gcorgo W. Peck of Wisconsin. Mr. Peck was until recently against him , but has become an ardent 111)an man , and yesterday assured Mr , Bryan that he will suppoit him. At Valparaiso , at 1:40 : a. in. , a crowd ag gregating 1,000 was In waiting , 100 ot them carrying torches. There was music and numerous banners. Cheer after cheer failed to kindle a semblance of wakcfulucss lu the Bryan st.itcr.oom , and the faithful party of noisy wakefuls failed to greet their candi date. BRYAN WITHOUT A COLLAR. Early dawn found the train at Columbia City , but 129 miles out ot Chicago It was but 445 ; a. in. , but there vvero about fifty people at the depot , and much to their gratification Mr. Bryan came out before the train slutted and shook hands all around He had come out In such n hurry that ho had neglected to put on his collar. When the train reached Fort Wayne at 5:20 : n. in. there were probably 2,500 people on the platform and when Mr. Bryan came out he was greeted cordially. To n re quest that ho speak , he replied somewhat hoarsely tint they must not expect a speech from him. None of the newspaper men wtro up yet. he Bald , and he had promised them that he would not speak In their absence , besides he expected to have quite a large audience to talk to In New York and wanted to save some of his voice for that meeting. Then the crowd filed past him In unusual good order , and all who cared to secured a grasp of his hand. VAN WERT , O. , Aug. 10. At Monroc- vltle , the last town In Indiana , there was an enthusiastic crowd of 200. Dixon was the first town reached In Major McKlnley's state. It Is but a hamlet and there were but about a dozen men and ono woman at the train. The woman was baicheaded and lu morning working attire , but she Insisted on shaking hands with Mr. Bryan. At Convoy thcie were 200 more In waiting and when the train pulled Into Van Welt , the county seat of Van Wcrt county , nt G:55 : a. m. , there were 2,000 people assembled around the depot whoso cheers vetoed the music of the brass band. The first of the crowd to grtet Mi. Bryan were four re- maikably handsome and enthusiastic girls , wealing silver caps with Bryan and Sew all In silver Icttcta around the black visor band , DELPHOS , 0. , Aug. 10 Mayor Baxter of Dclphos , who had boarded the train at Van Wcit , Introduced Mr. Bryan to 500 cheer ing men and women at Uelphos , at 7:30 : , saying they must not nsk him to speak as ho was saving his voice for Now Yolk. While the people were suigtng past to shake his hand , a large section of thu depot plat form gave way and sank a distance ot four or five feet , carrying down 150 people , but fortunately none of them were hurt. Upon teaming that no ono had been Injuicd , Mr. Bryan facetiously suggested "If you will get on our platform. It won't fall with you " BUCYRUS. 0 , Aug. 10. Short stops were mncla at Ellda , Lima , where Mrs Biyan fiist appeared to assist In the handshaking ; Lafayette , Ada , Washington. Dunkirk , Forest , Upper Snndusky and Nevada. At each town there was a crowd of enthusi astic people eager to shake the candidate's hand and they usually prevailed upon Mr. Bryan to say a few words to them. At Bucyrus o thousand people signaled the arrival ot the Bryan train with cannon ading nnd heuity chceilng and music , and Mr. Biyan spnko fiom the car platform. As the tialn diew away from the platform hundreds ran along the plitfoim grabbing Mr. Bryan's hand until ono fell and those behind pressing forward piled a mass of writhing humanity Involving tv , only or thirty people. A committee comprising General and Mrs. Flnley , County Cleik Laughhaum und Editor Fiank Unblock ct > - cortcd the Bryan party to this city. CRESTLINE , 0. . Aug , 10.

( Cheers ) I beg you without detracting from his high honors and from his great personal worth to consider the financial policy presented by the democratic platform and decide for yourselves whether our policy Is better for you and for your own Interests than the policy so ably sup ported by your townsman. " As the train slowly moved away from the depot the pressure of the crowd against the cars seemed to threaten death to many of the excited people , but accidents were averted. LOUDONVILLE , O. .

An Incident of this halt In the Journey was the presentation of the photo graph of the flag that was carried to Wash ington by Call Browne of Coxey's army. Mr Bryan accepted the emblem and put It In his pocket. Mr. Browne Informed Mr. Bryan that the populists of this district were ready to vote for him for president Irrespective of whether Scwall was re moved or not.

At tached to It was a card containing the words "Compliments of Isaac Pontius Orr- v Hie. O , member ot company 104 , 0 V. I. If ever pensioned will be willing to take It In stiver. " A note accompanying said : "As each day's sun added color to your name on this apple , so may the days of light from your silver tongue add luster to your name and each day brighten your prospects , so that after November this entire nation may- eat the fruits of your victory. " MASSILLON O. Aug. 10. The train made a brief stop at Masslllon , where Mr. Dryan spoke from the rear of the ear.

The Bryan rccep- lion committee frtim Plttsburi ; , composed ot about sixty pi eminent demociats of that city and headed by County Chairman How- ley and Mr. Mortl * Ton-bier , arrived In Canton shortly before noon today and findIng - Ing that they had nearly two hours to wait before the Bryan train arrived , decided to call upon Major JtcKlnley. Mr. Forester acted as spokesman for the paity on airlv- Ing at the governor's residence. HP said that ho believed that any candidate for the presidency was worthy ot the greatest ic- spect of cvervbody , regaidless of political affiliations. The members of the delegation had , theicfore , called to pay their rcnpocts and to make a friendly call as American cltbcns In response the governor said : "I am deeply grateful to receive this friendly visit from the Bryan reception committee , although wo arc of different polltlc.il be lief , We are , as American citizens , praud of our country and believe In common that we have now and will continue to have In In the future the best government In the world. I sincerely thank you , gcnitlemcn , for this visit , and assure you that It gives me great pleasure " At the "conclusion of his brief address , Major McKlnloy greeted each member of the delegation In person. When the 1-10 Pennsylvania train pulled Into Canton fifteen minutes late , bearing Mr. Bryan Into Stark county , the home of Major McKlnloy with 100,000 population , people turned out In thousand' ; to meet their fellow townsman's opponent. Special trains had brought delegations here from all over southeastern Ohio und the Pitts- burg Dry an delegation was hero In a special train to escort Mr. Bryan to its city Mr. Allen Cook , the local populist leader , es corted Mrs , Bryan to a Ilatcar , followed by Mr. James E. Rico of Canton with Mr. Bryan. After the applause had subsided , when Mayor Pice had finished his presenta tion , Mr. Bryan said : "Mr. Chairman. Ladles and Gentlemen : When I received notice a short time ago of the organisation ot a silver club In this city I little Imagined the tremendous sen timents which seem to be behind the club. I am glad In this city , the homo of my distinguished opponent , to testify to his char acter ami personal worth. ( Applause and tremendous cheering for McKlnley. ) I shall bo satisfied ( the speaker hero was Inter- luptrd by renewed cheering for McKlnley. ) I bliall be satisfied If as a prhato Indlvldutl I may be able to stand beside him In pub lic esteem , hut , my filends , this Is hot a contest between persons. It matters little to the American people whether your dis tinguished townsman or myself , as Indi viduals , occupy the chief executive ) position of the greatest nation upon caith. But It docs matter foi what policy a president shall stand , and In this campaign persons ai e lost sight of In the Interest of the cause which those persons icpicsent. In my own state and In my own city are many people who believe the Interests of the country will bo better served by the election of my opponent and I am gratified to know that In his homo city there are so many who believe that the Interests of this country will be best served by his defeat. Mr. Mc- Klnlcy Is your neighbor as wo understand neighbors. If you will turn to the bible you will read a parable of the .neighbor and I uek you to believe that In this contest I am the neighbor of thostt who have fallen among thieves , ( Applause ) He Is the nelghboi who In the hour of distress brings relief that Is needed , and In my humble Judgment when we are cursed by a European financial policy 1 belltvo the true neighbor of tun tolling messes Is the man who asks for the Immediate reparation of the ficu nnd unlimited coinage of silver at the legal ratio ot 10 to 1 , without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth , ( Applause ) To my neighbors at home I lay that If , aecoidlng to their convic tions of public duty , they bellevo my op ponent should bo elected , I bhall bear them no 111 will und I have so high an opinion of my opponent that I know ho will say- to his fellow townsmen here that everyone ono ot them should feel frco to make his ballot ic-prcxrnt a free man's will , although It may remit In keeping your distinguished citizen among you us a townsman still. I thank you for your Und attention and bid you gundby , " ( ( treat applause. ) END OK THU lUY'S RUN. AJ.LIANCB.

LINCOLN , Aug. 10. ( Special. ) The silver democrats held n county convention this afternoon nt Gcrmanli hall. There was far from being a full representation of the dele gates elected , and during the progress ot the proceedings the hall was rather thinly popu lated. Judge J , II , Broady was elected tem porary chairman by acclamation. The com mittee on credentials reported a full list of delegates entitled to scats In the convention.

Fuslcli with populists was In the air , and this was made evident by Altshuler s motion to nominate three of the five representatives to the legislature , leaving the other two for the populists , and also the two state sen ators to which the county of Lancaster Is entitled. Judge A. S. Tlbbetts opposed this He desired that the motion read "proceed to nominate representatives , " leaving the mat ter open for further action.

This nomination was opposed by P. J. Cosgrove , who demanded that a democrat 01 a populist be named , He was overruled by the conven tlon , which unanimously nominated Mr Davis for county attorney. The county central committee was then authorized to fill all vacancies on the ticket which might occur by death or otherwise and Mr. Davis was led Into the room. He made a speech attempting to explain his npostacy from the republican party. TICKET LETT OPEN. On motion of Mr. Manahan the remainder of the county officers were passed and the convention proceeded to name a few ward assessors. Mr , 0 , W.

Thu congressional convention of the Tlrst district dcmocrata will meet tomorow nt Te- ciimsth to place In nomination a candidate to run against Congressman Jesse B. Strode. Nothing was Indicated In the convention today who would probably be the man , and It Is realized that the only way by which Mr , Strode can be defeated Is by concentrating the populist and Bryan democratic vote on Bomo one candidate. The matter has been left to a committee composed ol three representatives from each ol the three parties. The candidates are many , the populists leading In number. Lancaster county has two avatlablcs. both pops , G. W , Bcrge and J. C , McNerney. Richardson presents two , George W , Ab bott and Firewater.

( Special. ) Senator .Pcttlgrew has already met a serious obstacle In his scheme of holding a union anti-republican convention In this county. He suggested the plan cf n union of the free silver republicans , the popu lists and the democrats In ono convention on such a basis ot representation that the populists would have absolute control. The populists , who are Just now doing exactly as Senator Pcttlgrew tells them , called their convention for August 25 and Invited the free silver republicans and democrats to join. The republicans decided to dose so , but trouble at once developed with the democrats , who cast about & 00 votes In this county , line democratic leaders found that Pcttlgrew had agreed with the populists that the democrats were to have the sheriff and ono nomination for the house , while the republicans and populists were to divide the other six legislative nominees and all the other county oinces between them. C. O. Bailey , chaltmaii of the democratic county committee , seemed to be favorable to Pcftlgrow's plan , but when the committee met Saturday night with a dozen or BO of the leading democrats who wore Invited , such democrats as A. 1) . Tina- ley and D. J. Con way opened fire on the scheme. Mr. Tlnslcy declared that all the democrats would get would be the bones after Pcttlgrew 's populists had picked them and declared that If the democrats went In they would never forgive themselves. Mr. Conway said that under this plan the dem ocrats would get an office "on the same terms that a tramp gets a meal. " Mr. Bailey suggested that Mr. Pcttlgrew had cxpicssed a wish to address the caucus and that he was at that time at his room In the hotel waiting for a notification. A broad smile passed around the room , but no one. moved to Invite the senator , and the motion to hold a separate- county con vention carried unanimously. One member of the conference then sug gested that the work of the meeting having - ing ' been accomplished , Mr. Pettlgrew might come ' to the meeting after It had ad journed and talk with any members who remained. No one remained and Senator Pcttlgrew Is said to be very wroth at the snub. The democratic leaders now say that they are willing to fuse on a Just and equl- table basis , but that they are opposed to absoiptton. Iti Is understood they want three members of the legislative ticket and half the county offices. As Senator Pottlgrew has already promised to bolting republicans at least half of the offices It is probable that the cctlon of the demo crats will make a fusion Impossible. ' POPULISTS DISPLEASED. A storm is brewing also among the middle- of-the-road populists , who are complaining blttcrlyUljat .they are having nothlng"to-do with the makeup of their county ticket. They declare that Senator Pcttlgrew Is running the whole thing , and ono of them remarked to The Bee correspondent that the Pettl- grew-popullst ticket would secure 300 fewer votes In this county than Bryan vyould ro- cclve. One of them said : "I have always known Mr. Pettlgrew to be foxy and icsourceful , but I never supposed that he could Join our pirty and In less than six weeks become Its recognized nnd offlclal boss. Yet this Is just what he has done. His room Is today the populist Mecca. Kvery plan must pass under his eye. Every candidate must secure his official 'o-k. ' His advice Is greedily sought and explicitly followed No candidacy la offi cial without his approval and be has done all this In less time than It takes strawberries to ripen. The result of this will be to drive back to the republican party a good many men who left It to escape Just such per formances. " The laboring men of this place are a good deal dazed by the admission of Judge C. S. Palmer In a speech at Canton that "free silver will bo n detriment to wage , earners , but I am talking to an audience seven- eighths of whom are farmers. " Laboring men here for two weeks past have begun to waver In their support of free silver , and this admission by Judge Palmer has caused a decided stir among them In a speech at Madison Friday evening Judge Palmer also denied that he declared himself for sound money In a speech at Val ley Springs March 2 Charles E. Hill , edi tor of the Valley Springs Vldette , says he did so declare himself , and he was so reported at the time In the Sioux Tails papers Hto did not at that time take exceptions to the re port. T , B. McMartln declares that In a conversation with him shoitly before the St. Louis convention the Judge declared that ho was for the gold standard. This state ment has been published freely hero nnd Judge Palmer has never met It In his home town and cannot. The Floux Tails McKlnley club now has 700 members and the fiee sllverltcs are veiy much discouraged over the outlook In this town , at Dell Rapids and Valley Springs , though they are still confident of carrying the county.

The opera house was filled with an enthusiastic ciowd despite the extreme heat and as ui.ua ! the speaker held them to the end ot Ma talk. Ho took the position that tariff la the main issue In this campaign , and that with proper tariff laws the money ques tion would settle Itself , by the tariff bring ing in sufficient revenues to keep up government expenses without borrowing. . In his handling of the financial question ho took the position that the republican party Is the true friend of silver and wished to secura stiver coinage by ( ho only practical method ( international agreement ) and that the Bryan Idea of going It alone would bring the greatest inln. Instead of relief to the country. The reception given him by his audience showed that ho was carrying It with him In his arguments , and his speech will have Its effect on the campaign In this county.

( Special Tele gram ) The meeting of populists at Ot- tnmvva in connection with the democratic state convention Wednesday will bo duo to a circular sent out by S B. Crane , popu list candidate for governor last year , and other party leaders. Chairman Andeison of the populist state committee , who lives at Forest City , has refused to take any steps looking to a fusion with the silver demo crats. He refused to call the populslt con vention to meet on the same day and at the same place as the democratic conven tion and favors a straight populist conven tion and Bryan and AVatson electors. Crane and others who favor fusion then took mat ters In their own hands and If they secure a large enough attendance at Ottumvva , will perfect the fusion scheme nnd create n now populist state organization , deposing Anderson from the position.

How the state demo crats , populists and republicans will divide up the votes at Ellcusburg this week Is purely problematic. The three committees will assemble Wednesday and a general fusion will bo attempted. If the populists get the governor the plan of some of the free coinage republicans is to divide the rest of the state officers between the popu lists and democrats , give the latter one congressman and demand the legislature and n congressman for the sllvprltea , The nomination for governor seems likely to go to Bolt of Spokane , Fawcctt of Tacoma or Lewis of Seattle , the two last named being democrats. Senator Squire will reach Spokane tomorrow and It Is believed ho will attend the Ellensburg convention as a cham pion of silver.

But on the prnlrlcs of Kansas and Oklahoma and to the south ward along the gulf states , humanity struggled to exist at 100 degrees. The At- aiillc coast , as far as Boston , showed very ilgh temperatures. At Boston It was 90 , which was also the maximum at Atlantic My The same temperature existed at Albany. There Is no prospect for relief In .his locality tomorrow. Away up In the extreme northwest In .ho Rockle-s , however , .Major Dunwood saw n ray of hope. The barometer had risen there today and had fallen lu the lower central valleys and the lake region. If these high and low areas develop , the liot spell will be broken. "But even that Is two days away , " said the weather man , as he shook his head. The temperature hero today was not so lilgh as yesterday , the maximum being 93 is against 98.

NEW YORK , Aug. 10. The number of deaths caused by the heat In Greater New York Is 100 nnd additional victims are being reported hourly. The prostrations are almost Innumerable nnd no accurate statement of them can be made. Ambu lances and patrol wagons have been run ning about all day , tbo sound * ot their gong * becoming familiar. Street car horses have dropped In the tracks by scores. Out- ofdoorwork ban been' largely suspended and many factories are temporarily closed. Laat night was tbo hottest of the sum mer , the climax of the present torrid spell , and one of the hottest known In the city for years. Morning brought no relief , ana at 8 a. m. the theimometer stood nt 82 , Hvo degrees higher than nt the same hour Sunday , but as the humidity was less In tense than on the preceding day there was less discomfort In the atmosphere. Early In the morning there was but BO per cent ot humidity , which la rather below the normal. The maximum temperature , 80 do- Siecs , was reached at 4 p. m. These tests wcie taken on the top of ono of the highest buildings In the city. Street temperatures taken In the shade at a point near the center of the city showed 8fi at 0 n. m. , 97 at 11 , 99 at 1 p. m. , 102 at 4 and at 0 p. m. the mercury had fallen t 92 , and further dropped to 89 at 9 p. m. Suffering has been most Intense In the tenement house sections , where poor people nro unable to get breathing space. In , these sections the charitable organizations have had their bunds full. Muny infants and children succumbed to sunstroke. The hospitals are obliged to call on the police department to aid them In responding .to rolls , as their ambulances could not cope with the number of cases reported. So police patrol wagons were pressed Into service to cany heat victims to the hos pitals. Many other wagons were used to carry away dead and disabled animals. At midnight thcro was 'no relief from the strain of the past week and on thou sands of roofs city dwellers were trylnff to get sleep.
