The sinking Of a house boat, in the
BrandyWine. near Eleventh street
bridge, Yesterday afternoon, caused
much excitement and q good deal Of
alarm for time. Captain Alfred
Wingate launched his houseboat, The
Old Mans Home No. >, when q plank
WAS torn from its bottom and 10 sank
about forty feet out In the stream. In
the boat, 40 the time of its sinking,
were William Ross. John DEM and
Captain Wingate They escaped with
ont difficulty. but their store Of pro
visions and tobacco were destroyed.
The boat had been fitted out for the
spring shad fishing season and was TO
have been towed TO Hamburg Cove on
the Delaware shore, near New Castle,
and anchored during the fishing season.
The houseboat WIS raised today and
after being repaired and caulked will
be launched and taken TO its destina-
tion.

sents a lively appearance, for the own
crs of the numerous pleasure and fish
ing craft there are repainting their
boats and getting ready for the eruis-
ing and fishing season. Several new
Fleet this season, and there promises
TO be much rivalry for the speed cham
pionship in launches.
The Rover. owned by David King, a
twelve horsepower launch, and the
sixteen horsepower launch Little Lex,
owned by James W. Gillespie, will
probably contest for the speed honors.
Benjamin McHugh, who, with the
Pearl, last year led the launches, may
attempt 10 show that he is still in
the game
Thomas Ridington, with the launch
Lone Star, and George Horner, with
the new skin he purchased, will leave

II is to the interests of every honest
man that dishonesty should he eX-
posed and punished; otherwise the de-
serving are apt to suffer for the un-
deserving. If, however, by the word

question or moderated my opposition

and have nothing to withdraw ON the

cusSion
"The only question we discussed
in 1896 upon which there has been
any apparent change, is the silver
question, and that has not been n
change in the advocates Of bimetal-
ism, but in conditions. We contend
ed for more money and urged the free
coinage Of silver as the only means
then IN sieht of securing it, The in
creased production Of gold has since
'rouoht in part the benefits we ex-
pected from the restoration Of silver
The per capita volume of money in
the United States is 30 per cent
ereater than it was in 1896, and the
'euefts brought by this increase have
not only yindicated the quantative
theory of money, but have proven
benefits of larger amount of money
Not an advocate of the gold stand
ard can claim the triumph of his log
ic.
"Our efforts should be to distin-
gulsh between those corporations that

of wealth which are organized for

his own earnings"
Bryan said that he would discuss

questions, imperialism and other is
sues at length, when he reached Am

London, July l2L-William J. Bryan

he has again become prominent as a
presidential possibility. He said:

policies are conservative in that they
embody old principles, applied to new
conditions. There was nothing new
in principle of either of the plat

accused Of attacking property, when

defender of property, because il en-

Excitement Over Bombs.

Rome. July 12.-Three more bombs
were found today at Ancona, where
on June 2, the police found in the
house of barber named Gabbianelli
quantity of explosives in the pro-
cess of manufacture and three com
pleted bombsB In consequence of the
earlier discovery, King Victor Eman-
mel abandoned his intention of going
to Ancona early in June to lay the
cornerstone of the new hospital. Since
that time the police have maintained
vigilance in searching for further evi-
dence to establish their theory that
there existed in Ancona plot against
the life of the king, and this was re-
warded by the finding of three more
bombs today In the house of Annibale
Perretti. Perretti, however, declared
that the bombs were intended for the
killing of fsh and as he had once
been condemned for illegally killing
fish with dynamite. his explanation
is regarded by the police as a plaus-
ible one.

CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS.
Ham Tickled the Audience and Mont
gomery Talked Art.

Another large number of people at
tended both the afternoon and even
ing Of the Associated Chautauquas
yesterday. The programs presented
were of much lighter vein than here
tofore, but were nevertheless enjoyed
thoroughly by those present. Last
night the entertainment afforded was
by the kellogg Haines Singing Party,
in popular songs, done in costume.
There were four members Of the par
ty, two male voices and two female,
each an artist in his or her own right.
Selections were rendered in costume
from a number of the catchy musical
comedies that have been presented
during the last two years, among them
."Dollv Warden" and "Sergeant
Blue" Solos, duets and quartettes
we're delightfully."- intermingled, each
receiving a spontaneous outburst of ap-
plause that testified as to the genuine
ness of the pleasure they produced.
Among the pieces best received were
"Nicohin, :" "Dollv Warden, " Glow
ers' Lane, my Ship Is the Girl for
Me-" "Dearie," and others. The
costumes were magnificent, the voices
excellent, and the delineations perfect.
In fact, no more delightful evening
has been afforded during the progress
of the Chautauqua.
Yesterday afternoon Col. II. w. g..
Ham, of Georgia, entertained a large
and responsive audience with his am
using recitation of "The Snollygoster
in Politics" BY "snollygoster" is
meant the office seeker, who is in the
game for gain, and the man who
makes politics a business. Col. Ham s
lecture was composed largely of the
recitation of amusing stories. which
he gave in an inimitable manner. His
hearers were kept in continual up
roar of mirth, and the speaker was
unanimously voted an elocu'ionist of
rare talent. Col. Hams reputation
as a character actor is by no means

less would have been elected, as
he was a popular idol who had
achieved much fame as a soldier
