To William Jennings Bryan, Headquarters

you success in your struggle against the
domination of the creditor class, which dur
Ing the past twenty three years has secured,
both in American and in Europe, monetary
legislation destructive of the prosperity of
your farmers and others.
Should you be victorious In November we
pledge ourselves to spare no effort to bring
immediate pressure upon our respective gov
ernments to cooperate with the government
OF your great nation in restoring silver to the
worlds currency.
We believe that, failirg such restoration,
the gold premium throughout all Asia and
South America will continue to rob the farm

wards for his tolls, and that your election
may avert from Europe serious agrarian and
social troubles now pending.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. r. A.
Maxwell, fourth assistant postmaster
general has made his annual report to
the postmaster general for the year
ending June 80, 1896. The principal df-
visions of the department under his
care are appointments and inspectors.
The report shows that the total number
Of postoff1ces in operation in the Unit
ed States is 7O,360 OF these 66,725 are
tial, being an increase over the last

2,046 postoffices were established and
1850 discontinued. The total number
of appointments for the year were
1900, and the total number Of cases
acted upon 1852. Mr.. Maxwell com
mends the work Of the postoffice in
spctors. The report shows that the
tc tai number of complaints of all
classes received during the past year
aggregated 03,037, and the number of
cases disposed of amounted to 100, ,205.

with the loss of only one piece in every
1924.
Mr. Maxwell points out that there
has been a decrease in the number OF
postoffice and mail burglaries and rob-

2,074 arrests, of which number 15S were
postmaSters.
During the year there were 1858
complaints treated affecting foreign

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-Candidate
William j. Bryan spent Sunday in
washington w as the guest of G. T. Bride
at his residence on Capitol hill Mr..
Bryan. left the city by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at 10 o'clock tonight
for Baltimore. This course was neces-
sary in order that he might catch the
6:1O a. m. train from that city tomor-
row, which will enable him to reach
Dover, Del, In time to speak at 1
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. He was
accompanied by National Committee
man Josephus Daniels, of North Caro-
lima, and by Gen. Kennett, the chair
man Of the Delaware state committee
and John Salisbury, of the reception
committee from Delaware appointed to
escort him into the state. Mr.. Bryan
had a refreshing nights rest after his
weeks work, and slept until late this
morning. He looks remarkably vigor-
GUS and healthy His voice Is again
In good trim. After late breakfast
the candidate. escorted by DR.. Rad
cliffe, the officiating minister, and ac-
companied by Mr%Bride and Mr.. Dam
iels, attended the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church. Returning after
service, Mr.. Bryan spent the remain
der of the day in rest and conversation
with callers
@AlIOil6 IuOSS WHO Saw Nf. Bryan
We're Senator Butler, chairman of the
Populist executive committee, and Mr..
Edgerton, secretary of the commit
tee; James L. Norris, the assistant
treasurer Of the national committee:
Capt. Miller and Maj. Biscoe, Of the
local reception committee; Representa-
tive Benton McMillin, of Tennessee.
and Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Browning. Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, who is campaigning in Penn
sylvania, came over from Philadelphia
for conference with Mr. Bryan and
those at headquarters here, but he
left before Mr.. Bryan had returned
from an evening ride. A hundred or
more persons came in during the day
and evening to pay their respects to
the candidate, but few Of them saw
him.
After sundOwn tonight Mr.. Bryan.
accompanied by Mr.. Morris, Senator
Butler, Mr.. Edgerton and his host.
Mr.. Bride, went for a drive about
the city. It was dark and very few
persons recognized those in the car
riages as they drove about the streets.
There were no conferences at the house
during the day, other than that with
the chairman and secretary of the
POpulist executive committee. the
situation generally, the condition of
the campaign and the outlook were
discussed. The leaders expressed the
opinion that the silver sentiment was
growing every day, and that it was
not possible to stem it's tide Senator
Butler said Mr.. Bryan was very much
satisfied and encouraged at the fore
cast.
At the church today, Mr.. Bryan and
those with him, sat in the pew formerly
occupied by President Lincoln. When
Mr.. Bryan was leaving the church some
one proposed three cheers for the can
didate, and they were given with a will.

position during the night. He was
able to remove his guns, but he was
forced to leave behind q great guam
tity of ammunition for both the artil
lery and the rifles The dervish steam
er which was sunk by the expeditions
lOrSe battery was said to have also
3een loaded with ammunition and
guns. This morning at $50 o'clock the
troops of the expedition began crossing
the river. McDonald's brigade was
first over, and the soldiers were met
with the widest and maddest signs of
delight by the natives. They shouted
in a frenzied manner, and danced
about the troops singing and shouting
like lunatics.
The first use made of the capture
Of the dervish boats was to transport
the second brigade to FL Hafir which
is a very fertile spot, offering plenty
of green herbage for the animals,
pleasant contrast to the rough rocks
and desert sands of much of the march.
1t is hoped that today the whole of
the expedition force will effect a cross
ing of the Nile, so as to camp at Ell
Hafir tonight and continue the march
to Dongola tomorrow. Owing to the
lack of a supply of telegraph cable to
lay in the Nile, the terminus of the
field telegraph still remains at Ker-
ma, on the east bank of the Nile.
The losses of the expedition up to
last evening were only five wounded,
despite the enemy's hot fire. The field
horse battery and the men who hand
led the Maxim guns had an especially
warm corner. During the engagement
the men lunched behind any hasty
shelter that could be devised. The
Maxim guns were manned by the Con-
naught Rangers, and the Tenth bat
talon was ranged along the bank Of
the river facing the dervish position.
They fired three rounds at the enemy.
One of the most striking things
noted during the fight was the long
range of the enemy's Remington
rifles. At a distance of 1900 yards they
were able to do deal Of damage,
and some Of their bullets struck at
least 1000 yards from the point Of
firing. The weather for the last few
days has been rather hot. The wind
from the north has brought nearly all
the boats up the river bearing suff1-
cient supplies for the wants of the ex
pedition. 1t is the general impression
here that the dervishes will not make
any further stand. 1t is evident that
Wad Bishara had brought up all his
effective force from Dongola, intend
ing to make a stand at Ell Haf1r. Even
if he is able to recover Dongola from
the river force Of the expedition, which
has occupied it, 1t is not considered
possible that he should make stand
against the advance Of the combined
land and river forces.

This agreement, the mines afterwards de-

Aban d ON ed Ell Hafir to Head Off the
Attack ON DonROIa


Attack ON Dongola.
LONDON, Sept. N.-The Times correspond
ent at Kerma telegraphs to that paper: Wad
Bishara was mised into supposng that it
was our intention to march on Dongola by
this bank of the Nile. He therefore evacuat-
ed Ell Hafir and hurried in the direction OF
Dongola to oppose our crossing there.
An editorial in the Times, with reference
to the taking Of Dongola, says: We may
reasonably hope that the work Of liberation
was speedily carried further SOUTH
The correspondent Of the Daily News
with the Nile expedition, in dispatch
from Ell Hafir, says: 1T is possible
that, being desperate, the dervishes will
make hot fight for Dongola, though
1 learn there is great dissension among
their leaders, and the disabling of Wad
Bishara may materially affect the Der
wish plans"
Kerma dispatch to the Standard
praises the clever tactics Of Wad BIZ
shara and adds. ''The dervishes are
certainly we'll led and they retain much
Of their old spirit"
