PENNOYER IN The RACE.
Oregon Delegates VIII Present His
Name for the Nomination at
Chicago.

PORTLAND, Or, June 29.-Oregon's
eight delegates to the National Democratic
Convention at Chicago will very likely
present the name of Ex-Governor Sylvester
Pennoyer for the Presidency. 1t depends
upon his chances for the nomination,
which himself admits are slim. But if the
fight between Bland, Boise and Sibiey ties
up the convention and there is chance
to work Pennoyer in as a compromise
candidate it will be done.
The chief fight for Pennoyer will be
made for the Vice Presidential nomina-
ton. The delegates consider that he
stands the best chance and will argue that
he is the natural connecting link with the
Populists. He has just been elected
Mayor of Portland by large plurality,
which gives him greater strength. Speak
ing about the nomination to-day he said ::
81 am not seeking the nomination, be-
cause there is little chance for Western
man, but there is an opportunity to secure
the Vice-Presidential nomination"
Five of the Oregon delegates, who con-
troll the eight through the unit rule, favor
SibIey of Pennsylvania, for first place, if
there is no hope for Pennoyer. Unless
some deal concerning Pennoyer for the
Vice Presidency is made at Chicago, they
will vote for Sibley. Their first choice for
the ticket is Pennoyer and Sibley, while
their second choice is SibIey and Penuoyer.
They are all opposed to the nomination of
Teller, insisting that the Democratic Con-
vent1on must name Democrat. all are,
of course, for free silver, and will vote for
such platform as Populists and silver Re-
publicans will endorse.

MR.. BEYARD SPEAKS AGAIN.
dwelling Ceremony in England in Which
the ambassador and Many Americans
PnrtjciD1fed

LONDON, ENGLAND, June 29.-The town
of Gainsborough, in Lincolnshire, was the
scene to-day of a ceremony of interest to
Americans. This was the unwilling of a
memorial stone in the John Robinson
Church, so named after the Rev. John
Robinson, Pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers,
who, after severing his connection with
the established church in 1914, connected
himself with body of dissenters in Gains
borough.
Among those present were the Hon.
Thomas f. Bayard, American Embassa-
dor, and the American Pilgrims, who
recently arrived in England for the pur-
pose of visiting scenes OF interest con-
nected with the Pilgrims.
When Mr.. Bayard arrived he was pre-
sented with an address of welcome from
the Municipal Council, in reply to which
he repeated the sentiments heretofore ex-
pressed by him, and said that the entente
between the United States and Great
Britain was strengthened by such occa-
sions as the present.
He added that if there was anything I'M
patriotic in the sentiment he gave voice
to, he was willing to meet and answer any
At luncheon, after the toast OF 1.-The
Queen" had been drunk, Earl Brownlow,
Lord Lieutenat of Lancashire, proposed
the toast, 1.-The President of the United
States" to which EN- bassador Bayard
made felicitous response. He said there
could be no higher aim for Anglo-American
craftsmanship than to preserve the condi-
tons existing between America and Great
britain

ALLOTTING THE SPACE.
All the Claimants for Seats In the
Convention Cannot Be
Accommodated.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 49, = Messrs.
Sheerin, Prather, Sherley. Wall and Wal
lace of the National subcommittee spent
part of the day at tho Coliseum, allotting
the space to be used by the press associa-
tions and the telegraph companies under

section, where provision has been made
for 428 seats. Tomorrow the troublesome
work of assigning the number of seats to
be given the newspaper of the country
will engross the whole time of the SUBJ
committee which has that in charge.
There are 1000 applications for these
423 seats" said Committeeman Wallace of
Washington TO the United Press reporter

appointed ones"
Senator Turpie of Indiana arrived at the
Palmer House this evening as the advance
agent of Governor Claude Matthews. He
came also to attend the meeting of the
National bimetallic committee of the
party, being member of the central exec
utive committee. He had nothing new to
say as TO the strength and position of Indi-
ana's candidate for the Presidency, and
in what he did say of the party situation
financially he was "silver tongued."
To the company of distinguished Demo-
Gratis at the Sherman House was added TO-
night Senator Isham G. Harris OF Tennes-
see, chairman OF the bimetallic commit ee.
Two of the boiling Republican Senators,
Pettigrew of South Dakota and Dubois of
Idaho, were late arrivals at the Great
Northern Hotel. They are here ostenslbly
in the interest of their leader IN the seces-
sion movement, Senator Teller, but they
did not say anything new on that line for
publication. The Idaho Senator sent
message to Governor Altgeld asking for
meeting. and there will probably be one
held tomorrow with the Illinois Demo-
cratic silver leaders. when the caucus of
the Illinos delegation comes off, to decide
on the general plan OF action in the con-
vention

ganzed labor. Mr.. Boies has been good
and consistent friend of labor, and he will
have the unstinted support of that ele-
ment."
Ex-Mayor Hopkins, one OF the gold
standard leaders in Cook County, said to-
day that the gold men would appear
before the National committee on creden-
tials and demand the seating of their dele
gates in cases where contests existed.
Ex-senator John Martin, chairman OF
the Kansas delegation, arrived to-day from
Topeka. He would not say what candl-
date he favored, but declared the nominee
would be a straight out free-silver man.
He exclaimed as to the two-thirds ma
jority rule for the election of nominee
"If / had my way about it the two thirds
rule would rot last minute. The ma
jority ought TO rule. 1t is all mistake to
say that this rule is fastened on the party
forever. The precedent was establish ed in
1874 aud then it was done to defeat Van
Buren, as trick. Kansas is a unit for free
silver. There was some gold Democrats in
our State, but they were squareiy beaten
and in a manly way acknowledged it."
Congressman Towley said, when asked
about the silver mems attitude toward
the two-thirds rule: II think the two
thirds rule will stand. We can control
twe-thirds of the voting delegates. /
think there is no ground for the apprehen-
sion aroused on that score"
The figures compiled by the Bland
managers gave ninety.eight delegates in
structed for the ''silver-dollar" man, 123
pledged and 151 whom they have treason
to expect will support him, Kentucky
and Ohio being credited in the Bland col
umn on the second ballot. This makes a
total of 372 votes claimed for Bland on the
second ballot

APPEAsING THE KNIGHTS.
Boies' Boomers Say Their Candi-

Labor Element.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 29.-One of the
incidents of the day was a conference of G.
A. Walsh. secretary of the Iowa State Cen
trail Committee and a delegate-at-large
with Grand Master Workman Sovereign of
the Knights of Labor, with reference to
the reported antagonism of the knights
and other labor organizations toward Mr..
Boies on account of his public utterances
at the time of the great railway strike,
upholding the action of President Cleve-
land in sending soldiers to Chicago. The
Boies boomers are also said to be con-
cerned because they had heard of petit
ton which was being signed by Chicago
Democrats, addressed to the county Gen.
trail committee. urging them to take up
arms against Boies on that account, for
the purpose of keeping the Illinois delega-
ton away from Iowa's candidate.
Neither party to the conference would
speak as to the result, but the Boies men
said everything was all right with the
labor people, and Mr.. Walsh said: "There

Ex-Secretary Whitney, who is one of the
shrewdest observers in the Democratic
party, practically comedies the victory to
the silver men and the disruption of the
Democratic party.
George w. Allen, delegate at large from
Missouri, arrived this morning and took
up his quarters at the Auditorium. When
asked as to the chances of his favorite can
didate, Bland, he replied:
"A silver cyclone has swept over the
country and Bland is right in the center of
it. He is the original silver man, and has
fought the battles OF the friends of the
white metal for twenty-five years, having
served continually in Congress during that
time. The Missouri delegates to a man
have declared for him, and we will make a
big showing when the Bland Club arrives.
One st. Louis organization expects to send
1000 men here, and there will probably be
another thousand from other parts of the
State.
81 do not expect Whitney's threat or
manifesto to have any very serious effect,
for he will find different situation here
from anything that has heretofore con-
fronted him. If the silver men are in con-
troll, as it now seems certain that they will
be, they will have no trouble. The plat
form will be is to and no compromise.
If there is bolt from the convention it
will not amount to much. Of course the
gold men will have to bolt if they are not
willing to support the ticket, but after
they have put up as much of front as
possible expect they will drop into line.
The actual hard work at our headquarters
will begin Wednesday; from then we will
be part of the show. Next Monday night
we will have big parade and the dele
gates can form some idea of BANDS
strength"
Senator Shelby M. Cullom said that the
Democrats were going to make fools of
themselves just as they did in 1872:
"They ill resolve in favor of free and
unhm oinage and they will nominate
some crank. l don't know which crank,
but some one out of the numerous herd
and then their party goes to pieces. The
Fasteners will not stand the silver non
sense and, although we will lose some
votes and some of the Western States, we
will gain ten votes where we will lose one,
and Mckinley will be elected by an over
whelming majority"

Sad accident on the Water Front of
Boston.
BOSTON, MASS, June 29.-One OF the
sadest accidents in the history of the Bos-
ton water front occurred at Castle Island,
off City Point, this afternoon. Al about
2:30 o'clock seventy-fve children were on
a rickety, unsafe gangplank and float at
the landing south of the bridge from the
point to the island, when the float over
turned. the flimsy guard rails of the gang
plank split and thirty or more OF the chill
dren were tumbled into the water. Four
boys were drowned, four children were
picked up unconscious and later revived,
and the others as far as known were saved.
The dead are: James S. Washburn, 8
years of age; James F. Cole, IL years;
Lawrence Mcdowell, II years; an I'M
known lad of about II years.
The injured are: Lillian Duffy, IL years
Harry Sampson, 10 years.
To-day was to be observed as Farragut
day in South Boston, and in honor of the
event the South Boston Historical Society
had distributed large number of buttons
among the children, emitting them to a
free ride on steamer from City Point
to Castle Island. AS a result the
little steamer was crowded on her trips
during the afternoon, and so early did the
rush begin that the police force detailed
for afternoon duty at Castle Island had
not arrived when the little steamer Ella,
Captain E. w. Weber, arrived at the float
with big list OF children passengers from
the point at 2:30 o'clock and began to IN
load them on the float just as fifty chill
dren on the granite pier started on a run
down the gangplank to go aboard. The
two crowds met, the float upset. the gang
plank split and the accident occurred.
