 Madison Square Garden, New York; Aug. l2.--William Jennings Bryan and Athur Sewall were formally notified tt- democratic party for the highest offices in the gift of the people of the United States Interest in the occasion had be- come intense, owing to repeated prom ises that the speech the young Ne Draskan would deliver would exceed m eloquence, vigor and magnetism his great effort before the Chicago con- vention. An immense crowd vas pres ent and the greatest enthusiasm pre- vailed during the entire time the noti- ficatiofI ceremonies lasted.
 Over one thousand uniformed police men were stationed in and about the 1lail and nobody was permitted to cross the line until the doors were open- ed. The crowd began to assemble shortly after o'clock and an hour later the avenues leading to the gar den were literally thronged with the waiting multitude. Owing to the ex- treme heat many who arrived early to secure good positions were obliged to drop out and retire. At o'clock the doors were thrown open and despite the efforts of the police to restrain them .aef crowd on every side made desperate rushes for the entrances. In the strug- gles many women Tainted and had to be carried away The police finally be- gan to use their clubs in an effort 10 restore order.
 A wild scene of turmoil ensued at the main entrance. Men, women md re- licemen were jumbed together ill an
  others and their own clothes in their frantic endeavors to gain admission. Shriek after shriek came from the wo- men in the struggling mass and two or three of them fainted Then the police with vigorous use of their clubs soon formed a line and thereafter there was senblance of order. The gal leries and boxes began to fill in short time. From floor to roof the garden was crowded with human beings.
 The heat was not so intense as might have been expected. But it was hot enough, and perspiring humanity brought fans in plenty. Overloaded men took off their coats and unloosen- ed their collars. The speakers rostrum was covered with the drapery of an American flag, while the gallery spaces immediately behind it were decorated more elaborately with the same mate rial. That was all the decoration with the exception of two gigantic portraits of William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall on each side of the stand. Seats on the platform immediately in the rear of the rostrum had been reserved for mem bers of the national committee, mem bers of the notification committee and a few distinguished democrats. Sena- tor Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the national committee, was an early conner.
 On the platform among those for whom seats were reserved were Sena- tors Stewart of Nevada, Blanchard and Caffrey of Louisiana Camden of West Virginia, Blackburn of Kentucky, Till man of South Carolina, Pasco of Flor ida and a number of congressman, in cluding MT. McMillan of Tennessee. In the boxes surrounding the platform were seated Mrs. Bryan, ex-Congress- man and Mrs. Bland, Congressman Sul- ger and Walsh of New York, General Bond of Maryland and many others.
 Richard P. Bland entered the garden at TAO with Mrs. Bland, but they came in so quietly that no one noticed their entrance The members of the notifi- cation committee also entered without exciting any demonstration. Then came the national committee, and with them Arthur Sewall, the vice presidential can- didate He was recognized and ap- plauded by only few.
 But when Mrs. Bryan entered her box cheer after cheer went up from foor and gallery and platform. The little woman opened her eyes in surprise and then went ahead, calmly settling her self in her seat in the box nearest to the rostrum. But cheering continued and men got up on their chairs and waved hats and fans. Women, too, rose and joined in the shouting, and soon 1t looked as if the whole audience was on its feet yelling with might and main. Mrs Bryan rose to bow her thanks. The cheering became more in- tense She bowed again and again and still they cheered. Finally the cheering ceased and Mrs Bryan began yielding a broad palm leaf and surveyed the audience.
 At o'clock MT. Bryan entered the hall. When he stepped on the stand great cheer went up. The cheering be- came louder and louder, and it was kept up for six minutes. At S:15 o'clock Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the national committee, called the audience to order and announced that
