A new sailing course has been de cided on for this year, the official map being on exhibition at the hcudijuar. ters.

HANSEN BRYAN IN THE EMPIRE STATE Crowd to Welcome Him at the Dcp, Not So Large as Was Expected. CHAIRMAN JONES FRIGHTENED florsea Ititckcd to tke Carriage Bstaeil ni fie Jssipc4 01 Tsrosqi Viisy tVtjr Drives lo tke St. Joke's Itosst. New York, August 11. William Jen nlngs llryan atepfied upon the soil of the Empire state tonight for the first llmi since hi nomination for the pres idency. It Is an event, both In his career, and In the general canvass for the presidency, of no small moment. It was practically a step Into the avowed section of the opposition to bis candl Joey; and opposition not In party lines, but said to exist within the party un der whose emblem he looks for victory In November. The crowd that gathered at the Jer sey station was not as large aa had been expected, a thousand In all prob ability paying their way to the ferry house In order to see the redoubtable rator from the West. But It woe crowd that made the fifty Jersey City policemen display every bit of their ability In subduing those who were en. thuslastlc to the core. The majority of the men stood with their coats off to relieve themselves of the terrific heat There were a few women In the crowd. The crowd expected to ride on the same boat with the Hryan party. One anx lous Individual Inquired of Sergeant at-Arma Oliver, of the Democratic na tional committee: "Doe he go In a special boat?" Oliver responded with a contempt that almost withered th questioner: "No, he's a Democrat and so ho was. When Mrs. Hryan alighted Mr. Tom linson took her In charge and hurried her along a private passage way la.'d ut for the party to pass through. She was hardly noticed by the crowd and took the first boat out of the slip, while her husband and the remainder of the party followed behind the Strug. gllng police to the second boat. To go distance of less than one hundred feet It took the party some fifteen mln utes or more. The police threatened w ith their batons and hustled and Jos tled the people to clear a passage way. The mob was good natured, but Insist ant, and demanded In anything but dulcet tones that Hryan should speak. He smiled and shook his head In re fusal, and then the crowd called for Sewall. Finally the police made way and the party reached the boat. They went up the stairs Into the pilot's cabin while at least two-thirds of the crowd surged upon the lower deck, and, as the ferry plowed Its way to the Des- brosses street slip, kept shouting their approval of the candidate and his prin ciples. When the boat reached the New York dock, Captain Cross, with a cordon of police, held the crowd aboard the boat for a few minutes while Bryan, Sewall and the remainder of the party- took a carriage in waiting. When they got outside the ferry gates they found at least 500 people awaiting, and al hough they made all diligent efforts to allow the carriage to proceed it was stopped several times, the last time being when the horses, annoyed and scared by the applause and shouting. balked. Besides Bryan and Sewall, Chairman Jones and Mr. St. John oc- upled the carriage. The national com mitteeman became frightened at the behavior of the horses and left the carriage. The remainder of the party sat quietly until the animals were ready to proceed. At Mr. St. John's house on 34th street there was another gathering of cltixens who applauded oclferously. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Bry an showed much fatigue after their long Journey. Mr. Bryan wore a black alpaca coat and a silver colored Alpine hat. Mrs. Bryan wore a dork green ravelling dress, a black hat with flow er trimmings. RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION. California Judge Holds that the Gov ernment Can Makes Rates, Los Angeles, August 11. Judge Wei born, of tho United States circuit court, rendered a decision today which In ef- 'ect Is that the government has a right to fix the rates for the transportation troops, or any other government business, including the malls over any railroad. It Is estimated that the de cision will make a difference of from forty-five to fifty millions lit the amounts paid by the government every year for transportation of malls, troops and other things. The suit of which this was the outcome was brought by the Atlantic and Pacific road, backed by other land grant roads as a test case. A trooper who traveled from Albuquerque, N. M to Prescott, re fused to pay full rates and tendered the conductor Just half the regular price of a ticket. The conductor refused this and after transporting the trooper the company sued the government. The decision affects not only the railroads which have land grant, but all other road and give the government the right to fix rate not only for Its own buslne but for all other bulnes done by railroads provided rates are such that a profit ensues for the road.

Ellensburg, Wn., August 1L The Democrats, Populists and Free Sliver men who have bolted the Republican party, will hold their state conventions tomorrow. A fusion of all parties will be attempted. The Populists are al most unanimous In their demand for the governorship, and unless this office is conceded to them the prospects of fusion are very remote. At the election two years ago the Populist cast a larger vote than the Democrats by nearly 10,000, and the Populists say they are entitled to name . IREGON SILVER SERVICE.
