Then the police rallied, and with Wig
.orous use .of their clu bs formed line,
aud thereafter there was semblance
of order. From floor to roof the gar
den was crowded. 1t was hot, aud
perishing humanity brought fans in
plenty. 0verheated men took off their
coats and loosened their collars. 1t

Those who came in gowns suited to
the weather and negligee shirts were
HAPPY.
When the young wife Of the Me-
braska nominee entered box reserved
for herself and friends the assemblage
let itself loose for the first time. Cheer
after cheer went up from floor and
platform, and the ds rk skinned little
woman opened her eyes In surprise,
and then went ahead calmly settling
herself in her seat in the box nearest
TO and to the right OF the rostrum.
But the cheering continued and
men got upon their chairs and
waved hats and fans In their
desire to DO honor to the wife
OF the democratic candidate. Women,
too. rose and joined in the shouting,
and soon il looked as il the whole au-
dience was on its feet yelling with
might and main. Mrs. Bryan, of
course. rose TO bow her thanks The
cheering became more enthusiastic.
She bowed again. Finally the cheer
ing ceased and Mrs. Bryan began
welding palm leaf fan and calmly
surveyed the audience. Mrs. Bryan
had entered the hall on the arm of
William l.. ST. John. Mrs. st. John
could not attend on account of illness,
and tho wife of Gov. Stone came In her
place. In the box with Mrs. Bryan
were Mr.. and Mrs. Bland, Mrs. Stone
Mrs. Macy. of New York. and Clark
Russell, editor of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition.
1t was just eight o'clock when Mr.
Bryan entered. lie had reached the
garden in company with his wife and
Mr.. ST. John, but had remained below
until they were seated. They had
been conveyed TO the Tvcnty-seven tn
street entrance, from which the po-
lice had kept back the crowd, and the
arrival OF the candidate was not
known TO the struggling masses
around the other doors. But when he
stepped on the stand and was recog-
nized by many in the audience a great
cheer went up Bryan, Bryan
Bryant was the cry. The cheering
stopped at last, and those who timed

at Chicago when Bryan finished the
effort preceding his nomination Men
and women rose to their feet and
cheered. On the platform, in the
boxes, up in the galleries, people were
shouting like mad. Men waved their
coats and their hats and women flut-
tered fans and handkerchief The
band struck up and added to the din.
Mr.. Bryan held up his hand for ST.
lence. 1t was like an incentive to yell
louder. The crowd would not be
thwarted. Mr.. Bryan made an effort
to speak. His voice was drowned in a
wild howl Again he held up his hand
and again the cheering rose in its
might.
This was too much for him, he sat
down YEARLY, Tut in second jumped
up again, with one hand appraised for

THE COMMITTEE.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE reorganiza-
tion committee Of the Union Pacific
railway company today addressed q
circular to holders Of securities Of the
Kansas Pacific, explaining the decision
to extend to June 80, 1897, the time
during which the plan and agreement
may be declared operative The cir
cular says the bill agreed upon by the
on Pacific railroads in both
houses shortly before adjournment Of
the last session 10, in the main, salts
factory. 1t 10 hoped that actioo by
congress at the present session will be
favorable, in which event the commit
tee will promptly proceed with the re-
upon the lines proposed
by the funding bill. Should. however,
this expectation not be realized, there
Is q probability the government will
proceed on the existing authorization
with q foreclosure Of IT. lieus. In such
event the committee intends to prepare
for the purchase Of tho property on
such foreclosure and thereupon reor-
gantze. The committee has deemed X
prudent to postpone declaring the plan
operative until the attitude Of congress
and the executive becomes more clear
ly defined.
