 Barrytown, N. T., Aug. 2S.-Accord- ; ing to presnt arrangements William J. Bryan will lunch with Senator Hill in Albany Tuesday. MT. Bryan will not say so, but the statement is neverthe- less true When the representative of the United Associated Presses asked the democratic candidate about the matter this evening MT. Bryan ans wered after thinking minute or two, that he was not fully informed concern- ing the arrangements for his Albany visit and would not give any informal tion on the subject.
 It is understood the meeting between the nominee and the senator was pro- vided for by friends of both without direct communication between the two principals. The negotiations were con- ducted with the greatest secrecy. MT. Bryan is down for a speech in the capi- tol and handshaking reception is also contemplated, so that the call on Sena- tor Hill at Wolfert's Roost, the sena- tors residence, must necessarily be of short duration.
 MT. Bryan and Senator Hill have un- doubtedly reached an understanding 1rI, r, ha tiations as to the ground on which they shall stand when they come together. During his visit to Winnisook Lodge, in the Catskills. previous to his trip to Albany, Mr. Bryan will doubtless be made better acquainted by Chairman Hinckley, of the democratic State com mittee. with the position Senator Hill intends to assume.
 MT. Hill and MT. Hinckley stand very close to each other in political matters and the belief has been that the chair man is authorized to speak with some degree of authority for the senator
 MT. and Mrs. Bryan will say good bye to Upper Red Hook at noon tomorrow and proceed to Rhinecliffe by carriage A tug will be at Rhinecliffe at o'clock to carry them across the Hudson to Rondout, where they are to take the Ulster and Delaware railroau for Big Indian. It is ten mics by mountain roads from Big. Indian to Winnisook Lodge and, the candidate is likely to be late in reaching a resting place. Tuesday the Bryans leave in time to catch the 220 train at Rhinecliffe. They are scheduled to arrive in Albany at 4;e5 and will start for Syracuse at 7;55.
 Rain was pouring down when MT. Bryan left the residence of his host Mr. Pefrine, to attend service at the Upper Red Hook Dutch Reformed church this morning. The church is situated about one hundred yards from Mr. Perrines house and the can- didate walked over. There was no un- usual crowd present Rev G. D. Ly- decker, the pastor, conducted the ser vices and in his prayer thus referred to MT. Bryan:
 And specially bless thy servant whom we have in our midst, the hon. ored servant. Fill him with wisdom and power for the anxieties and fa- tigue of the coming days and fill him with hope and confidence in all thy purposes concerning him and these people,
 The sermon was preached by Dr. Robert H. Barr of the Associated Re- formed church of Newburg. He made no direct reference to the democratic candidate, nor to the political situa ton. After the services both ministers came down from the pulpit and shook hands with MT. Bryan, many of the congregation doing the same.
 The position taken by President Mill Ter of the Chautaqua assembly con- corning the report that the democratic candidate would speak at Chautaqua next Sunday is endorsed by MT. Bryan. Several newspapers contain state ment from President Miller denying that MT. Bryan would speak there lr- less an arrangement could be made to have Major Mckinley appear. When this was shown MT. Bryan he said:
 q shall not speak there. Being f1- terested in Chautauqua work, my wife and I will avail ourselves of the op- portunity to see the parent association. The work of the association is non partisan, and the president is quite right in saying that neither candidate should speak there unless both are in vited."
 Albany, Aug 23.-Ex-State Senator Norman T. Chase, chairman of the democratic city committee, was asked to-day whether it was true MT. Bryan was to be entertained by Senator Hill at Wolfert's Boost while in Albany. MT. Chase said:
 "Yes. As matter of personal cour- tesv to the distinguished visitor to AL banv. Senator Hill, through the com rnittee. has invited MT. Bryan and his wife and a few personal friends to dine with him at Wolfert's Roost on Thursday afternoon at o'clock, and Mir. Bryan has accepted the invita- tion"
 Asked whether Senator Hill would preside at the meeting at 6:3O on City Hall Square when MT. Bryan makes a speech. MT Chase said:
 ..The meeting is to be very simple ID it's character and of brief duration MT. Bryan will not speak more than half an hour and possibly not longer than twenty minutes. Almost Immediately after it will be necessary for MT. Bryan to start for the railroad station. The people will be anxious to hear the can ono could addraSS
