Streets Hoarse With Joyful Shouts for
Bryan.
Omaha, Neb., July 10.-Five thousand
people of every party to-day jammed
the street in front of the World Herald
office to get the news bulletins from
the democratic national convention.
Each succeeding report which noted a
gain for Bryan was received with wild
applause. When the report was flashed
over the wire that the Illinois delega-
tion had gone over to Bryan, the en-
thusiasm of the crowd knew no bounds.
When Bryans nomination was finally
announced the crowd lost all control of
itself. The excited people threw their
hats in the air and yelled themselves
hoarse with cries of Bryan" Hun

YALE oREW BANQUETTED.
Sports Club Acts as Host--Americans
Eulogized.

EulOgiZed.
London, July 10.-A dinner was given
this evening at the Sports club to the
members Of the Yale university crew
who took part in the Henley regatta.
in which they were defeated by the
crew Of the Leander club in trial heat
for the Grand Challenge cup. Mr.. jack
son, the manager of the Sports club,
presided. r. B. Treadway, captain Of
the Yale crew, sat on his right, and
the Hon. Chauncey M Depew on his
left. Among the other guests present
We're Lieutenant Commander Cowles
naval attache of the American embas-
sy; General Skiddy, Judge Howland
and the prominent competitors in the
regatta.
Commander Cowles made a speech,
in the course of which he said he be-
lieved that Yale men would again COM
pete at Henley and would profit by
their experience of this year. The
Americans, he added, had been beaten
by a good crew, but their defeat had
been tempered by the hospitality the
English know so well how to dispense.
Chairman Jackson eulogized the Yale
men as sportsmen and excellent COM
panions. He expressed the hope that
they would return to England and cap
ture the cup.
Captain Treadway, in reply, said he
did not wish to make any excuse for
the Yale crew losing. The climate, he
added. had nothing to do with their de-
feat, as it was as good as that to which
they were accustomed He ascribed
whatever success they had to Coach
Cooks study of English rowing.
The dinner was most enjoyable one,
and the Americans took advantage of
the occasion to again express their ap-
probation of the many courtesies they
had received while in England, both
from the public generally and their
competitors in the regatta. They had
nothing but praise for the sportsman
like qualities displayed by all the Eng
lish oarsmen with whom they have
come in contact.

THRoUGH REPUBLICAN EYES.
Major Mckinley Has No Fear as to the
Result.

Canton, o., July 10.-Mark A. Hanna
had a long conference with Major Nc
Kinley this afternoon. The finishing
touches were given to the list of MEM
bers of the committees and the per-
sonnel of the national bodies will soon
be given out. The national committee
will meet in Cleveland next week and
the work of the campaign will be
straightway commenced. Major Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Hanna were together
when the news of the nomination came.
A few minutes after the decisive bal
lot was cast at Chicago Mr.. Hanna ap-
peared on the veranda. His face was
Wreathed in smiles and he was in the
best of humor. The nomination was
plainly not displeasing to the manager
of the republican campaign. Mr.. Hanna
was outspoken in his denunciation of
the Chicago platform and its dangerous
and populistic utterances, although he
expressed regret that so many delegates
representing one of the great parties
should have been willing to adopt it.
A platform of repudiation and dis
honor is what Mr.. Hanna called it and
he was supported in this opinion by
several democrats who happened to be
present.
Major Mckinley has received dozen
telegrams from Nebraska democrats to-
night denouncing Mr.. Bryan as popu-
list and declaring that he cannot carry
his own state. The prevailing notion
here among republicans and democrats
is that Mr. Bryan is more of a popu-
list than of a democrat and that he
is a fitting exponent of the platform.
M. N. Wallace of Omaha, who has
until lately been an active advocate of
free silver, said to Major Mckinley
this evening that Mr.. Bryan would not
receive the support of the conservative
democrats of his own state and that
he would without doubt be endorsed by
the national convention of populists. He
said further that throughout the west
Mr.. Bryan was regarded rather as a
popuIist than as a democrat. Several
local democrats of prominence have to-
day informed Major Mckinley that
they could not support the Chicago
platform and nominee and that they
would vote for him. During the day
d score of kilograms have been receiv-
ed by Major Mckinley coDgratulating

him on the endorsement he has receiv-
ed from prominent opposition journals.
Major Mckinley is in excellent spir-
its. While he deplores utterances Of
the Chicago platform he is not un-
aware that the adoption Of that plat
form in the opinion of well informed
politicians means destruction to the
party which proclaimed it,
Major Mckinley received to-day a
dispatch from New orleans which said;
AN immense mass meeting held here
last night enthusiastically endorsed
Mckinley and Hobart ana the repub-
lican platform. You can count on the
electoral vote of Louisiana"
. The telegram was signed by ~. HI.
Pharr, chairman"
Among Major McKinley's visitors to-
day was John Milholland of New York,
who said the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan
would make the democratic cause more
hopeless than ever.

Candidate for denomination.

Chicago, July 10.-Mr. Bryan receiv-
ed the news of his nomination in his
room at the Clifton house. He was not
at all excited over it, and after respond
ing pleasantly to congratulations, he
proceeded to the barber shop to get

the barber he stated to United Press
reporter that all he wished to say was
that "In order that I may have no am
bition but to discharge faithfully the
duties of the Office desire to announce

A TALE OF THE SEA.
Also Tale of the Season by veracious
Chronicler.

Halifax N. S., July 10TH. passen-
gers and crew OF the steamer Ulunda,
which arrived this morning from Liver
pool via ST. Johns, N. F., were treated
to an extraordinary spectacle yesterday
of an enormous school Of porpoises pur-
sued by about two dozen whales of
great size. 1t was estimated that there
were over 1900 porpoises in the school.
They were seen about $50 miles east of
Halifax and jumped about the vessels
sides, in evident terror of their pursu
ers. The sea was black with them, and
they rushed through the water like mad
with the great putting whales close in
the rear Old salts say they never saw
anything like 1t on the American coast.

CCURTlNG NOT ALLOWED.
New Salvation Army Field Books Rigid
KmIc. on Mnrringe.

New York Feb 2S.-As a result of the
Salvation Army troubles here some of the
aggrevCd members have invade known a
section of the rules and regulations of the
salvation Army which has never before
been made known to the general public
that relating to love, courtship and mar
riagc among the field officers. The new
Field Book recently issued, lays down
laws to govern the affections of the Of
fcers of tho army. The rules do not inter
fcrc with the courtship or marriage of
the rank and file Of the army. 1t is only
the officers who are affected.
If a male officer desires to become en-
gagged to a female officer he must fiji out
n printed application blank on which he
states al he knows about the young
woman. This Is sent TO the division Of
iicer. and thence TO the national head
quarters.
If the two Interested parties live in the
same city the higher officers either refuse
to sanction the engagement or make one of
the young people go to another city. This
is done to prevent counting" among the
officers. All engagements must last for
one year before the commander VIII give
his sanction to the marriage.
Whether an officer male or female
wishes to become engaged to an ordinary
member of the army, the same rule oil
separation is observed, but the ordinary
SOlIltT must DttoIllt ul Oll''i b'ipi' wv
marriage will be sanctioned. An officer
who persists In marrying outside OF the
army must cease to be an officer. One of
the precautions against what Is termed
counting in the laws Is placing the man
and wife of two men or two women In
command of every corps.
In the matter of engagements the Of
ilcer must take the initiative. If fc-
male officer and "A male soldier wish to
marry the woman must make the appli-
cation to headquarters, fiji out the various
blanks and do whatever she can toward
making her future husband an officer.
ANY breaking of an enga cement" the
Field Book states. must be at once re-
ported to the division officer, and any
officer found guilty Of shameless and
heartbrcakng iiliing will be reduced to
the ranks Counting means more or less
a division of feeling, and must in some
measure interfere with the discharge of
duty and is therefore deprecated. Of
fcers must not be allowed to carry on any
courtship in the town in which they are
stationed"
