AN AMUSING INCIDENT ON THE BOAT

O'CLOCK this AFTERNOON that william j.
Bryan was able to announce definitely
his plans for the next few weeks. The
decision arrived at last night that he
should take rest at some quiet resort
to recuperate from the effects of the Sc
we're strain imposed by his tour from
Lincoln to New York and to give him
the opportunity to write his formal letter
of acceptance, set Mr.. and Mrs Bryan
to thinking about a suitable place, and
1t was finally decided to accept an invi-
tation rendered some time ago to visit
Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. Perrine at their home
Upper Red Hook, in Duchess county,
N. Y. A telegram was sent Mr.. and Mrs.
Perrine and when the answer was re-
ceived this afternoon saying that the
visit would be agreeable at this time,
Mr.. Bryan announced his programme.
Mrs Perrine was a teacher at the Female
academy in Jacksonville, ILL.,. while Mrs.
Bryan was pupil there Mr. Bryan also
knows her well, as he was a student at
the same time at Jacksonville college.
Standing in the vestibule of Mr.. Will
liam p. st. Johns residence, Mr.. Bryan
told group of newspaper men what his
plans were. He said that he Mrs. Bryan
and Mr.. Sewall would leave New York
over the New York Central some time
tomorrow afternoon, probably at 10:45,
Sunday with Mr.. John b. Walker. Mr..
Sewall will return to Maine from Irving
ton, while Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will pro-
ceed on Monday to Upper Red Hook.
They expect to be with the Perrines a
week or ten days, and ON the conclusion
of the visit they will start west. Mr..
Bryan said he expected to stop at sew
eral places on his western journey. He
was not prepared to give the dates, but
1t is known that he will be in Buffalo
August 27 and in Erie on the 29th.
AT the latter place he will address the
convention of democratic clubs of Penn
sylvania. He win reach Lincoln about
September l and probably receive the
notification committee of the national
silver party at that time. Beyond the in
formation contained in this statement
Mr.. Bryan had nothing to say. With
reference to his physical condition he
told Southern Associated Press repre-
sentative that while he felt that he had
not reached the end of his physical
strength and power, he felt that it was
necessary to have as much rest and quiet
as possible.
The decision to proceed west imme-
diately after the visit to Upper Red Hook
as understood to mean an entire aban-
donment of the contemplated visit to Mr..
Sewall Whether Mr.. Bryan will visit
New England during the campaign is
doubtful, but it is said that his personal
campaign and he may go there when he
comes to New York again.
Senator Jones, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee said tonight
that he would not announce the different
committees until after he reaches Wash
ington. He will arrive In that city to-
morrow morning.
Late this afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Bry-
an, Mr. Sewall and Mr.. st. John drove to
the Twenty~second street pier and took
the steamer Laury Taurus for Coney Is
land. Two central office detectives went
along. The trip has been kept secret and
nobody at the pier knew of their coming.
On the way to the island two men became
involved in a discussion of the money
question and one told his opponent that
"he'd be id if he voted for Bryan
Mr. Bryan was recognized at about this
time and the gold man apologized to Mrs
Bryan for his language and to Mr.. Bryan
for saying that he would not vote for
him.
'It's principle, Mr.. Bryan" he ex-
without thinking any less of you"
That's all right replied the candi-
date, you vote according to your princi-
pies"
The incident caused some amusement
to the members of the Bryan party.
There was nothing of note on the trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and their friends did
not leave the Taurus. number of per-
sons shook hands with them, but the
crowd was polite and did not give an
noyance. The Taurus returned to her
pier here at o'clock and the party were
driven directly to Mr.. st. Johns house,
where they had dinner. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan said that they enjoyed the
experience immensely.
Senator Jones of Arkansas had last
talk with Mr.. Bryan tonight prior to his
departure for Washington.
