BRYAN's SPEECH.

How it-SWaS Received in London.
 London, Aug. 13.-The Westminster Gazette, in its financial article this af- ternoon, refers to the speech made yes- terday evening by William J. Bryan and says: MT. Bryan's speech will certainly not increase confidence in the minds of investors. The fear that many leading railroads will not be able to pay interest in gold on their bonds, in case Mir. Bryan is elected, renders it extremely difficult to sell any but the highest class of American railway bonds at the present time. Still, it is hoped that the eastern electors will ap- preciate the dangers ahead and will support the candidates pledged to maintain the gold standard, otherwise we are likely to witness a crisis of un- equalled severity
 The evening newspapers here this af- ternoon reproduce oopious extracts from MT. Bryan's speech at Madison Square Garden yesterday evening. The Pail Mall Gazette has column leading editorial on the subject headed 'The Bubble Bursts Itseif," and saying: His managers have discovered that it Is un- safe to estimate him at more than fifty cents on the dollar" concluding with the remark that "the gold standard may breathe freely"
 The St James Gazette, referring to the income tax feature of the speech, says: If MT. Bryan collides with the supreme court, he will frighten away more citizens than he would by fiscal or economic e2cesses."

SIR JOHN M1LLA1s DEAD.

London, Aug. 13.-Sir John Millais, the distinguished painter, president of the Royal academy, died at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon, On May 10 last he un- derwent the operation of tracheotomy for the relief of cancer of the throat and never fully rallied from its effects, which ultimately caused his death.
 Sir John Everett Millais Bart, was born at Southampton in 1929. He was the descendant of an old Jersey family. He began his art education early, being entered at eleven as a student of the Royal academy. At seventeen his first picture was exhibited, and at nineteen his Isabella of Keats" made certain mark. He belonged at first to the pre- Raphaelite school with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Holman Hunt. "The Vale of Rest" painted from scene the art ist saw in France while driving through that country, representing the garden of convent and the nuns digging a grave, marked the end of Millais deep ly poetical painting in the pre- Raph- aelite manner. In 1870 Millais' range widened and he made triumphant es- say in the nude, rendering the grace or youthful form and the delicacy of gold en-blonde flesh in his Knight Errant," ," He also at this time made venture in landscape painting, more or less sue cessful. Afterwards he turned his at tention to portraiture, and in 1880 exc cuted magnificent likeness of John Bright He followed this with a Wor- thy portrait of Cardinal Newman. He has painted a number of society wo- men, notably Mrs Langtry His claims to distinction are his range, his manli- ness and his Vigor.
