the extent of the fraud has already
reached the sum of $2,500, 600. but tn .
details of the affair as set forth in the
newspapers are quite meager. Ministar
hansome evidently has no information on,
the subject himself, for he sends none to
the Treasury Department, and In the n.

perfunctorily referred to the secret Ser

Letter of A cceptance.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 13.-Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan were at home to visitors in
the ladies' parlor of the Windsor Hotel
to-day. At 10 o'clock Treasurer st. John
summoned Bryan to conference with
Senators Tillman of South Carolina,
Walsh of Georgia, Blackburn of Kentucky
and Representative Benton of Tennessee.
Alter the conference a start was made
for the Windsor Hotel. There was no
demonstration when Bryan arrived. Mrs.
Bryan stood between her husband and
Sewall. The programme announced by
st. John was that there should be no
handshaking. but that programme was
disregarded. Every one OF the 400 who
attended the recep ption snook hands with
each of the three. The reception lasted
less than an hour.
Mr.. Bryan is much pleased with this
meeting and regards it as a tremendous
success. From II to l O'Clock Bryan IN.
formally received mem bers OF the National
Committee and of the notification COM
mittee.
Less than 100 women accepted the invi-
tation to meet Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Bland
at reception held for women only In the
parors OF the Windsor Hotel, at Forty
sixth street and Sixth avenue this alter
noon. 1t was probably because the recep-
ton had not been properly announced
that the attendance was so small. Mrs.
St. John escorted Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Bland
and Mrs. Stewart 10 the room ana the
women focked around them. There was
a kind OF formal handshaklng and then
the rest of the reception hour was passed
in informal chatting. =,
1t has been decided that Mr.. Bryan VIII
enter actively into the campaign on or
about Septem Der / and continue on the
stump until election day. To obtain
needed rest and to prepare his letter OF
acce ptance before his speech making be-
gins, he will spend the next two weeks at
some qriet place, not yet decided upon.
The visit to Bath, Me-, will therefore be
postponed until the latter part OF Sep
tenn ber, when Mr.. Bryan will make a
mum Der of speeches in New England.
To representative OF the United hsso-
ciated Presses Mr.. Bryan made the follow
ing explanation of the reading of his noti-
fication speech:
knowing 1hat it would be printed in
full, thought it more important that il
should reach in correct form the millions
who will read it than that the delivery
should please the few thousands who were
present. 1t is always unfortunate when a
speaker is compelled to read a political
speech, but in this instance | thought il
best not to risk the errors which always
creep into the report of an extemporane-
Gus speech"

HUNTINGTON. W. VA, Aug. 13.-The
bones of two, and possibly three, human
skeletons were found yesterday in Wayne
County, twenty miles south of this city,
under the floor of an old log house. Part
of the bones are supposed to be those of
Miss Bessie Clarke, young woman who
disappeared about five years ago.
Another part are thought to be those of
a peddler who disappeared in the same To-
cality afterward.
The house, which is now deserted, was
until recently occupied by Joseph Jordan,
and the girl was living in the house when
she disappeared. Jordan now lives in
Kentucky and is dying of consumption.
The bones were found packed away in lime
and charred wood about six feet beneath
the surface. Experts say that there IS no
doubt that some of the bones, especially
one of the skulls, are those of young
woman.

1.-THE Hon. William Jennings Bryan ex-
pected to stampede New York audience

didn't. Instead of being exhilarated they
were bored. A little was enough for
them. Having satisfied their curiosity as
to the man of borrowed ideas, many took
their hats and went awey. In the face OF
adverse circumstances the reader strug-
gled on to the end. Instead of sweeping
over his hearers like winged storm, he
gasped painfully through cut and dried
piece that was Intellectual, wearisome and
dull"

Bryan in two characters--that of a dema-
gogue and that OF solemn economist.

State Chairman Stansbury ]. Wiley
was interviewed yesterday in reference
TO the matter OF Addicks setting up
rump Legislature He said that no
such plan was considered by the State
Central Committee, and that no such
decision had been reached. He added
that the State Committee could not be
held responsible for the talk of people
who might have suggested such a plan
The committee decided TO push the
Kent and Sussex county contests, as
has already been stated to support the
contest OF Congressman Jonathan S.
Willis, who will protest against J.. lrv-
ing Handy being seated in Congress on
the ground of gross frauds by the
Board Of Canvass in Kent county. and
TO appoint a committee which will pre-
pare rules for the permanent govern
ment and organization of the Union
Republican party in this state. Mr.
Wiley stated that the committee had
called the attention of the National
Committee TO the number OF votes cast
In this state by the Union Republican
party. as compared with the number
cast by the regular Republican party.
and asked Il 10 appoint a new member
OF the National Committee In the place
OF General James III. Wilson, who now
represents Delaware in that body. The
State Committee did not ask the Ma
tional Committee to appoint any par
ticular man TO the place held by Cen
eral Wilson. This. Chairman Wiley
said, was all that was done at the
meeting at Dover
