BRYAN,s HOMECOMING.
Many fractional Troubles Over the
Arrangements.

The Homecoming Of Mr.. Bryan is stirring
up factions in more than one place in ri
valry over the appointment Of men to have
places Of honor on his reception committee
and in states where warning factions find
1t difficult to cooperate in anything.
Here in the District of Columbia the ne
cessity for the Norrisites and the Brideties
to get together has at least given a SEM
blance Of harmony between these two fac
lions Of the party. They will join hands
for this occasion at least. even II they take
up their fight with renewed vigor after
ward.
In New Jersey there is hot time as the
result Of the prospective visit of Mr.. Bryan
there. Former Senator Smith has an
nounced that he has a letter from Mr..
Bryan saying he will go to New Jersey
September 1. and Mr.. Smiths manner Of
giving out the information leads to the in
ference that Mr.. Bryan will be under his
sole care while in New Jersey.
This announcement has aroused the other
faction In the state to a degree Of rebellion
against such an arrangement, II MI. Bryan
has consented to it. They proclaim their
such a letter and are daring him to pro-
duce II. John Moody. Edmond A. Whittier
and Franklin H. Halliday have written Sec

such an arrangement would mean that New
Jersey would be out OF the fight two years
hence so far as the democrats are con-
cerned. They could not allow their oppon-
ent. Smith. to chaperone Bryan through the
state and take the honors that would &C
crue and the political strength that would
result from his public association with
Bryan to the exclusion OF the other faction.
In New York city there Is also hot time
on between the Hearst men. who at heart
are Inclined to be jealous OF Bryan any
way. and the managers who appointed the
reception committee. It happens that the
Bryan reception is largely In the hands OF
Harry w. Walker. the author OF fierce
personal attack on Hearst. In that attack
Walker referred to the domestic affairs OF
Hearst in . violent way. and while Hearst
made no reply no one believed that he ever
forgave Walker for what he had Cone.
Walkers attack was printed In his paper.

Of business.

MIDDIEs VIOLATE LAW.
Their offense Deemed Worthy Of Dis
missal From Academy.

The Navy Department has Just been in
formed in a report from the Naval Academy
of the first violations of the so-called anti
hazing law. that Of April 9. 1906. The re-
port gives the names of four or five mid
shipmen who are considered worthy of dis
missal and although their offense Is In
violation OF the anti-hazing law. they are
not charged with hazing. This being the
first effect of the new law, there is much
interest in observing to what extent the
President will approve the recommended
lions from the Naval Academy.
