WASHINGTON, II. u, Sepl. ~. w.
Bryan's plans for this evening were
rather hastily changed in order to per-
NIT him to make the necessary rail-
road connections to ill his engagement
in Dover, Delaware, tomorrow.
Instead of remaining here until TO-
morrow morning, he left tonight over
the Pennsylvania railroad for Baltl-
more at 10 O'Clock, and will leave that
city tomorrow morning at 6:lO LOT
Dover
The Sabbath day was occupied by
the candidate in securing much need
ed rest He retired last evening a1
1niiuight. Immediately upon his return
from Baltimore and slept onth
8 O'Clock this morning, when ne arose
much refreshed. He remained quietly
indoors until IL O'Clock, when he at
tended service at the Newly OK avenue
Presbyterian church.
The announcement of this fact at
tracted to the church a number OF per
sons not accustomed to worship there,
hut the edifice was by no means crowd
ed Mr.. Bryan was not d stranger 10

church During his congressional ca
reer. and while Rev. William Bartlell
was pastor Mr.. BRYAN was a frequent
attendant upon the services. He usually
escorted his father, a tall, striking
looking man, with heavy grey locks
who was blind or nearly so. To-Day,
Mr.. Bryan had a seat in the pew
OCCUPIED BY PRESIDENT LIN
COLIN,
who attended the church under the
pastorate of Rev. Or. Gurley-
Rev. DR.. Radcliffe, the pastor, had no
knowledge of the intended presence OF

AT the close Of the service, Mr.. Bryan
went forward to the pulpit, as had
been his custom, and spoke a few words
to the preacher. Many of the congre-
cation took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to press forward and pay their
respects. AS he left the church, there
was slight cheering by the crowd that
waited for his appearance.
In the afternoon, he received a, num-
Der of callers. and at went for a drive
with Mr. James l. Norris. assistant
treasurer of the national committee;
Chairman Butler and Secretary Edger-
ton of the Populist committee. his host,
Mr. Bride, and Mr.. Josephus Daniel.
The nearest approach to a political
conference of any kind was the con-
versation held between the candidate
and Mr. Butler while this ride was in
progress 1t was not known that the
candfdete would take a ride at that
hour. but the presence Of the carriage
in the front of the house soon became

in addition to the persons named, were
Senator Tfilnnan, who has just re-
turned from Pennsylvania, and Mr..
John Salisbury and Senator Kenneth
OF Delaware. who came here as d COM
nnittee to escort Mr.. Bryan to Dover.
M Bryan's departure from Wash
ington was taken without demonstr1-
ton. 1t was not generally known that
he was to leave, and only the usual
stragglers and passengers about the
station saw him off.
