MIR. BRYAN,s PLANS.
No Programme of Speeches and No
Itinerary Arranged.

CHICAGO, Aug 10.-William ]. Bryan
will make no such extended speech max
ing tour Of the country this campaign
as he did four years ago. He will
make number of speechd4, but they
will be all in connection with some
special occasion, and part of a general
swinging around the circle. That much
was determined during the talks which
Mr.. Bryan had with the members of the
executive committee of the Democratic
national committee today, and that was
all which was determined
The membership of the committee was
revised SO as to give New York state a
representation on it. Committeeman
Head, of Tennessee, withdrew, giving as
to its duties, and Norman Mack, ma
tonal committeeman from New York,
was named In the plaaa of Mr.. Head on
the executive committee. Speaking Of
his plans for the campaign, SO far as
they were determined today, Mr.. Bryan
said:
No regular programme of speeches by
me will be mapped out, and no especial
itinerary arranged. I shall make a few
speeches during the campaign The times
and dates will be announced from time
to time, as they are determined upon.
Just now there is no announcement of
any Kind, because no date has been as
yet fixed, or any arrangement made,
When 1t is settled that 1 am to appear
at any particular place the announcement
Will be made Then there will be nothing
further to give out until another tinS
and place is determined on. Every speech
Will be independent of all Others
Asked If this was meant to include the
outing of the Irish societies here on newt
Wednesday, and that of the trades
unions mons on Labor Day, Mr.. Bryan said:
Yes, it is not yet decided wbetbar
shall appear at either or both of these
occasions"
In response to a question as to his for
maj letter of acceptance of the Demo
cratic nomination, Mr.. Bryan replied: At
cannot say no wwhen that letter will he
yet" "t-''eh as
Mr.. Bryan expects to remain here ,,ti,
Monoay mo at least and perhaps longer.
fhen he will go to Lincoln.

Tennessee Democrats Nomi-
nate State Ticket.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-The executive com
mtttee of the Popuhst party today de-
cided to call a meeting of the national
committee of that party to be held in this
city on Aug. q. At that meeting the
question of filing the vacancy on the
presidential ticket, occasioned by Mr..
Towne's declination of the nomination
for the vice presidency will be disposed
Of. The claim was made by some of
the members that this action could be
taken by the executive committee, but
reference to the minutes of the proceed
ings Of the Populist convention showed
that the power to fill vacancies Is vested
onfy in the full national committee.
Only eight out of the ten members of the
executive committe were present. Sen
ator Butler, chairman of the commit
tee, was one of the absentees. He made
no explanation of his failure to attend,
and the members are at a loss to ac-
count for it.
The committee issued the following ad-
dress:
Chicago, Aug. 1O.-To the Members Of
the Peoples Party: The executive COM
mittee of the Peoples party takes this
method of expressing to you its gratifica-
tion on account of the absolute harmony
which exists between the allied parties.
There is no discord anywhere. On the
contrary, a commendable spirit of rivalry
exists between the Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans as to who shall
make the best record in support of our
unrivaled leader, William ]. Bryan.
eve have not felt authorized to fill
the vacancy on our ticket occasioned by
the declination of Hon. Charles A.
Towne and have called the national
committee to meet in this city Aug. q,
1900.
1--WE trust there may be full attend
ance Of the committee. Meanwhile, rest
assured that no discord will grow out Of
the vice presidential situation.
u III. Edmisten, Chairman.
-'J. A. Edgerton, Secretary"
Members of the committee stated that
Mr. Stevenson will be indorsed by the
full committee when it meets.
1t was decided during the meeting that
branch national headquarters be estab-
lished in Chicago the main national
headquarters to remain in LINCOLN. Com
mitteeman Eugene Smith, Of Chicago,
will be in charge here.

not through the head as first reported.
Indications are that there was a desper-
ate and bloody fight, the messenger
bravely fighting for the safety of the
property entrusted to his care and de-
tending his life. The deed of violence
was done on passenger train No. 8, due
at the Union station at n:40 possibly be-
tween Marble Cliff and the city, surely
between Milford Center and the Union
station in this city.
When extra Messenger ]. NJ. Sheldon,
who assists Robert Mulligan agent for
the Adams Express company at the
Onion station, went to the door of ex-
press car No S12. which had just pulled
in from st. Louis and Indianapolis, he
unlocked the door as usual and showed it
back. A horrible sight met his gaze.
Lying fiat on his face and in a pool of
his own blood, lay the messenger. His
head was lying just between the edge
of the stove and the edge of the door
in the forward end of the car.
There was some delay in finding Cor
oner Birmingham. A careful examina.
ton revealed eight bullet wounds. Three
of them were in the right side of tine

TALKING OF THE PLOT
BRITISH CONVINCED THAT STERN
MEASURES ARE NECESSARY.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-A special dispatch
from Pretoria says the Boer plot to
make a prisoner of Lord Roberts and
shoot all the British officers possible, dis
covered Thursday, included the recap
ture of Pretoria and the shooting Of
Lord Roberts and to induce the burghers
to rise en- masse. A number of suspect
ed accomplices of the conspirators have
been conducted across the border.
The British authorities are awakening
to the danger Of allowing Boer sympa-
thizers to remain in Pretoria and the
issuing of passes to the burghers has
been stopped.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Pretoria plot
is the thzme of many editorials this
of treating the Beers too leniently.
Examples and stern examples" says
the Daily Mail, "are necessary, although
we may not agree with Sherdians fierce
maxim, Nothing should be left of an
enemy but eyes to weep with yet this
was the conclusion of a not inhuman Of
ficer who thoroughly understood war"
According to the LourenZo Marques
correspondent of the Daily Express Pres
ident Kruger IN the course of an inter-
view last Wednesday said that the report
that he intended to surrender was with
out foundation. He declared that war
would last long time yet.
"a Boer bulletin" continues the corre-
spondent, announces a big battle be-
tween Lydensburg and Middleburg, IN
which the British had 500 killed and
wounded 1t also announces the re-
capture by the burghers of Heilbron, De
Villiersdorp and Frankfort"

ROBBERY ON pennsylvania EXPRESS
The Messenger Killed in His Car on the Run
From Cincinnati to Columbus.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 1O.-The passen-
ger train on the Pennsylvania line due
to arrive from the west at midnight, was
robbed at some point between here and
Cincinnati tonight and Messenger Charles
Lane, Of this city, was killed. The rob
berry was not discovered until the train
pulled into the station here and the
messenger was found cold in death
with his revolver, several cham
bers Of which had been emptied
lying by his side. The contents of the
safe had been stolen, the door having
been blown open.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 10.-When the
Panhandle Train No. s, from the West,
pulled into the union depot, shortly after
II o'clock tonight, Charles A. LANE, the
express messenger, was found dead in the
car with bullet in his head. A safe had
been blown open and all the Yaluables
taken
The murder and robbery is supposed 10
have taken place between Milford Center
and Columbus, as no harm had befallen
the express messenger when the train
stopped there. The messenger was alone
No one heard the shot or explosion at
tending the blowing open of the safe. It
Is supposed the robbers jumped off the
train as it slowed up coming into the
union depot. The utmost mystery wells
the affair. Lane was about twenty-eight
years of age. The officials of the Adams
Express company give no statement as
to the probable amount Of money secured
by the robbers, but is is report
ed to be considerable sum.
Later it was learned that the safe had
not been b.own open, though that was the
first report. The robbers took the key
from the messengers body and left it
sticking in the lock-
