BRYAN's ITINERARY.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 29.-Mr. Bryan is
well along with his notification speech
and his plans are SO we'll developed that
he hopes to be able to announce his
itinerary for the trip to Indianapolis and
return. He has no knowledge of the time
and place for his notification by the Popu-
lists and Free Silver Republicans and it
is not believed his present itinerary takes
into consideration that function. Local
politicians had hoped that if it was to be
in the West, Mr.. Bryan's home in Lin
is now thought Topeka Kan, has the
first call and will probably secure the
meeting. 1t is thought possibly the trip
to Chicago, of Secretary Edgerton, of the
Populist national committee, may have
some bearing on the question. Mr.. Edg-
erton left this evening and will remain
several days. He expects to see Charles
A. Towne while in Chicago, but said that
was no part Of his mission.
Mr.. Bryan and his family attended
union services at the First Presbyterian
church this morning and listened to a
sermon on "The Divine Orator. by Rev.
Mr.. Rowlands, of the First Baptist
church. Later in the day he and Mrs.
Bryan entertained friends who called.
He had two visitors from outside the
state, w. D. McNuIty, of Syracuse, N.

Bryan told the Associated Press cor

here that he narrowly escaped injury by

NEW YORK, July 29.-Brig. Gen
James H. Wilson departed tonight for
San Francisco where he will embark on

by his aides, Lieuts. j. H. Reeves and
G. Soulard Turner.
When asked if he thought that the

skill and tact of the generalissiHno In

Inc question of supplies is, in fact, the
principal one.
Further than that 1t is difficult to saw

the same difficulties to contend with as
far as supplies are concerned as the al
lies must encounter. 1t will be impossible
to maintain great hordes of men without
something on which they may feed. In
these military operations the great base
will be the sea. Supplies can be brought
up the Pei Ho river and its branches to
within twelve miles of Pekin, and then
there is the railroad. Even if it is torn
up some it will not be so difficult to get
1t into operation. The Chinese have only

SKETCH OF KING HUMBERT.
Humbert ", king of Italy, was born
March IA, 1874.
He was the eldest son of Victor Eman-
uel, by whom he received instruction in
his youth in military and political af-
fairs, and when Italy and Austria met in
war in 1866, Humbert commanded a divi-
sion in Gen. Cialdinis army, participat-
ing with credit in the battle of Cuztozza.
In April, 1885, he married his cousin,
Princess Marguerite of Savoy.
On the death of his father, Humbert
succeeded to the throne January 9, 1873,
and in November of that year an attempt
was made to assassinate him, but he es-
capped without injury.
Later in his reign, however, he so en-
deared himself to his people-that he be-
came almost a popular idol. In a recent
work, former Consul General Byers,
who represented the United States at
Rome for several years, writes of him:
''The cholera broke out in Italy that
summer QS84) sure enough. The brave
King Humbert took a train to Naples
and went there to help and encourage the
afflicted. He went into the hospitals
every where, took the sick by the hand,
and possibly helped many dying one
to take courage and live. He took his
own provisions with him, even drinking
water, from Rome, and whenever ne
went among the sick, he smoked con-
stantly. His staff complained that he
was leading them all to death, but they
had to follow into dens and hospitals
more dangerous than battlefield
OF Humbert's return a few days later,
the consul writes:
1.-The king came back to Rome from
cholera-stricken Naples day or two ago.
He has become the greatest hero in Italy.
1 never saw such a reception. The main
streets of Rome were packed solid with
human beings trying to touch the king s
extended hand, his horses, the wheels Of
his carriage. The beautiful Queen Mar
garet sat at his side, smiling and bowling
right and left. The young crown prince
sat on the front seat. did not know a

NEW ORLEANS QUIET.
Precautionary Measures Dispensed
with by the Mayor.

NEW ORLEANS, July 29.-The city is
very quiet and most of the precautionary
measures have been dispensed with.
Nearly all of the 1,500 militia men have
been relieved, detachment of twenty
men being left at the parish prison. This
evening the citizens police disband fifty
being detained as an emergency squad.
There is considerable dispute about who
killed Charles, principally between DR.. G.
A. Noiret, medical student and a men,
Der of the citizens police, and Private An
derson, of the First regiment. Six
hundred dollars in reward hangs on the
decision The money will probably be
turned over to those two men and by
them donated to the fund started by
Mayor Capdevielle for the widows Of the
murdered policemen.
Mayor Capdevielle has rigidly enforced
his order to keep saloons closed today.
The main result of the weeks events will
probably be the reorganization of police
force.
