WILL NOTIFY BRYAN.
Populist Managers Decide Not to
Omit that Part Of the
Programme.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 27.--The Star
this afternoon will say: ''The Star can
state positively that Bryan is to be for
mally and officially notified OF the Pop
ulist nomination made at St. Louis. Tom
Watson will be notified at the same time.
ut seems, from what was gathered
by a Star reporter, that the pressure
for the notification of the Populist NOM
inees has been too heavy for those OPP
posed to such course to resist and that
the managers of the Populist campaign
have finally come to the conclusion that
the notification must be made"
Cleveland O., Aug. 27.-The fact that
George A. Groot of this city has prepared
q notification speech to be delivered at
Lincoln, Neb.. September Z has given rise
to a rumor which has been circulated all
over the country that Bryan would be
formally notified of his nomination by
the Populists.
Concerning the matter Mr.. Groot said
today: Il don't know anything about
the arrangements of the Popnlist execu-
tive committee. l am the chairman OF
the notification committee appointed by
the Silver party We shall formally no
tify Mr. Bryan and Sewall on September
8. Senator Teller and Congressman

STEW ARTS HOUSE FAILS.
Hilton, Hughes & Co.. Successors
to the Pioneer Trader, Have
to Assign.

New York, Aug. 26.-The dry goods
firm of Hilton, Hughes & Co., once A.
T. Stewart & Co., has made an assign
ment to c. NJ. Wright without prefer
ences Elihu Root is attorney for the
assignee.
Among the banks i. Wall street the
failure is regarded as due to a gradual
decline in business. The firms credit
for the last five years has been badly
impaired and it is understood that very
little or any of the firms single name
paper is out. The firm has been taking
stock for several weeks past and re-
Gently it was understood to have received
about $750,000, which has been used in
reducing the liabilities of the firm. It is
reported that Siegel Cooper & Co. will
take over the stock of Hilton, Hughes &
Co.
The assignment was made by Albert
G. Hilton who comprises the firm. No
statement has as yet been made as to
the amount Of liabilities and assets.
