limited powers. The motion for his elsc- ton was made by H. D. Clayton. Sena- tor Tfllman moved that it be by acclama- tion There was no opposition. The chairman was authorized to appoint a temporary secretary. MT. Sheerin, sec- retary of the old committee, and Mr. Hugh Wallace of Washington were act ing secretaries during the session.
 Chairman Jones was authorized to ap- point campaign committee of nine members.
 It was decided that the candidates for president and vice president be notified of their nomination in Madison Square Garden, New York city. The date was not fixed, but it will probably be about July 21 or 22. There was considerable informal talk about the conduct of the campaign, the location of national head quarters and other matters Several members expressed the opinion that Chicago was the logical Headquarters from which the campaign should be di- rected but others favored New York city. It was said that MT. Bryan is in favor of the latter city. There was a general disposition to leave the determi- nation of all these matters to Senator Jones and the campaign commNtee which he will appoint. It Is expected that these matters will be settled at a meeting held in New York city about the time the can didates are notified.

He was happy to inform the members of the committee that funds were in the hands of the treasurer more than sufficient to meet all the obligations that were outstanding and to return to the treasurer of the citizens committee something of a surplus for distribution to the contributors of the fund.
 General Blair of Kansas, the oldest member of the committee in point of ser vice, except MT. Sulloway of New Hamp- shire. presented resolutions of thanks to Chairman Harrity for the impartiality, faithfulness and singleness of devotion with which the chairman of the commit
 
 tion, and to Secretary Sheerin for his successful labors, always so courteously and kindly given.

 It was noticed that among the ab- sentees were the representatives of Mas sacfiusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut. Vermont, New York, New Jersey and Maryland.

 She Would Load With Ice. Philadelphia, July 1.-The steamer Laurada, which has become so well known as a Cuban filibustering vessel, left her dock tonight. Sine cleared for Port Antonio, Jamaica. Capt. w. w. Ker counsel for her owners, the John D. l art company, said this afternoon that tne steamer would stop at Key West for a cargo of ice.
 ], When the captain said this he winked his weather eye, lay back in his chair and laughed heartily at his joke. Then he said We don't admit that this trip is filibustering expedition. We won't have any Scandinavians in the crew they can't be trusted. The captain two mates and three engineers will be white, but the rest of the crew will be American co1ored men. They will get extra wages, and can be depended on to work, fight and keep their mouths shut When the cargo of ice Is put aboard at Key West the vessel will steam around the coast of Cuba ss-as to give the new crew a chance to see what the island looks like. Then she will finish her trip, load up and come home again"

of the Stevenson boom have been
noticeable in the talk of some of the

was no distinct endorsement of the
boom, it is true, but number of the
delegates spoke kindly of the Vice
President and of the feeling which had
been entertained for him for years by
southern people. Among the Ken
lucky delegates there is said to have
been quite sentiment for the Vice
President.

Every Word True

The ladies residing in Honolulu and
suburbs display remarkable good taste
in their dress. This was still fur
ther shown at the grand ball to be
given on the 3rd, and is thus easily
accounted for, as three-fourths of the
costumes worn on that auspic-
GUS occasion were bought at L. b.
Kerr's, where it would be impossible
to buy an ugly dress, The materials
and quaint designs are simply irresist-
able, and the prices are so, unmistak-
ably low that there is an absolute
saving of at least 25 per cent; in other
words you can buy at that popular
store, a single yard at wholesale
prices

CHICAGO, July 1.-"Bland can be
trusted" is the refrain of the silverites
tonight and Bland is in the lead, with
Boies lost somewhere in the woods
and Matthews not yet out of the
underbrush. While still far short OF
a majority and not in sight of the two,
thirds, Bland is strong enough to en-
courage the combination of the other
silver candidates against him. So by
the time the convention meets, he may
be losing ground or nearly out OF
sight,
