Than Expected.
st. Paul, Aug. 26-"It's going to be
an immense crowd without doubt, and
perhaps it will be immense" said
Chairman Horr, of the &. A. II. ac-
commodations committee, today. "If
it is, and if the city should have to
entertain even more than the 100000
We now expect, it will he the plain
duty of citizens to provide many ac-
cOmmodatiOns additional to those we
have already. Should this probability
become certainty, our committee
will issue an address calling for the
extra accommodations. We hope that
st. Paul, with its hospitality, its rep
utation at stake, will not hesitate to
furnish promptly what extra quarters
may be needed, even if the effort
might subject residents to some in
convenience. And must say that in
stead of growing less, the probable
outlook seems daily for a larger mul
titude''
The accommodations committee sent
200 tents to Camp Mason to-day. and
in place. The committee began also
buildings to be occupied by the vet
Grams. Seventeen schools will accom-
modate about 10000 comrades Thus
several hundred old soldiers will lodge
in each building. The accommoda-
tions committee. therefore, hopes that
n restaurant will be established for

Toledo, OHIO, Aug. 26.-After sailing

neither boat could sail the twenty
fOur-knot course within the time limit
OF five and one-half hours. 1t was lit

Canada took the lead after crossing
the line and increased it to about one
mile at the first turn, four knost from

stake boat nearly two minutes behind
her rival. Canada's time on the first
leg was 2:1i. AS there was no im-

The BROOKLYN All Right.

Boston, Aug. 26.-The United States
cruiser Brooklyn was given n pre-
liminary trial under forced draught
over the official course between Cape
Ann and Cape Porpoise to-day. The
average speed for the round trip of
S.; knots was 2O.97 knots an hour, q
very satisfactory performance, all
things concerned. The contract calls
for Il speed of 20 knots an hour in a
run Of four consecutive hours. For
each quarter-knot above this speed a
premium Of $4,000 is allowed the
builders. 1t is believed that on the
official trial speed of 21 IL knots
will be recorded. in which event the
ship will earn for the Cramps the
handsome bonus of 100000.

Newport. II. L.. Aug. 27.-The we'd
ding Of Gertrude Vanderbilt. eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, to Harry Payne Whitney,
eldest son of the former secretary of
the navy, w. e. Whitney, took place
at noon at "'rhe Breakers" the VAN
dcrbilt summer residence. Although
the wedding has been awaited with
great interest. it was in Il way a dis
appointment to the eXclusiv" set in
society here, owing TO it's simplicity.
This was necessarily so on account of
the state of Mr.. Vnnderbilt's health,
his physician thinking it unwise for
him to undergo anything by the quiet
est ceremony. Therefore. outside of
the immediate bridal party. only about
fifty persons were present. The legal
marriage ceremony was performed
by Rev. George i. Magill. ID. d., rec
tor Of Trinity church, of which Mr..
Vanderbilt is member. 1t was
originally intended that Bishop Pot
ter should act in this capacity. but
Rhode Island laws forbid Il clergyman
from another state to perform Il we'd
ding ceremony here. Therefore the
plan was changed and Bishop Potter
delivered the benediction.

Tillman Tried to Pull Him on the
Ticket.
Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 2G-The Journal
to-day will print n story which it says
comes from a source of undoubtcd
authenticity to the effect that the pur-
pose of Senator Tillman's recent visit
to Thomas Il. Watson at the latter's
home in Thoinaston was to see if Mr..
Watson could be induced to retire
from the vice-presidentia race on the
promise of place in the Bryan cabi-
net. The Journals informant, who is
Democrat of high rank, but warm
frien1 and possible supporter of Wat
son. says there is no doubt that a
tentative offer of such n position was
made. by whose authority it is not
known. and very promptly declined.
Mr. Watson declared that, inasmucl
rs he had accepted the yicc-presiden-
tial nomi1 alton in order to preserve
his party organization, he could not
surrender it in exchange for any 9th
er office whatever. 1t is said that a
similar offer is to be made to Mr..
Sewall. In this connection it is noted
as significant that Mr.. Watson has
been declaring with confidence of late
that he would be on the Democratic
ticket within two weeks.
