NIGHT PROCEEDINGS.

Chicago. July 10.-The crowds that
stormed the coliseum tonight in antici-
patton of another oratorical display such
as they listened to last night were doom
ed to disappointment. as the leaders had
decided. after consultation, not to pro-
coed with the nomination of the vice
president tonight. But all unconscious
of the determination the public pushed
on to their places in the galleries. They
cheered and shouted while the band
played columbia. Gem of the Ocean,"
Dixie" "NIarching Through Georgia"
and some popular ballads. The effect of
the electric light sparkling over the vast
audience which crowded the ampitheater
until the Joints threatened to burst. was
the most brilliant.
At $50 Chairman White. by dint of
much rapping, managed to bring the con-
vention to order. After making formal
announcement, Gen. Bragg of Wisconsin
appeared on the stage to make a personal
explanation. The old veteran with
grizzled beard, who aroused Democratic
conventions in the past to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm. received no ovation
tonight. He came to enter protest.

OFFERED BRYAN $1,000

Chicago, July 10.-Mr. Bryan, after
his speech had been published in Asso-
ciated Press papers yesterday, received a
telegram offering him $4,000 for ten
speeches in Madison Square garden, New

forbids his acceptance of any such offer.

BRYAN OPENS THE CAMPAIGN.
He Makes a Speech From the Balcony
of Chicago Hotel.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 10.-Wm. j. Bryan
made an open air speech from the balcony
of the Clifton tonight to vast crowd
which filled Monroe street from State to
Wabash avenue. The Bland club of
Missouri. headed by the Bland silver
band. marched to the Clifton house and
serenaded the Democratic nominee.
Loud cries for Bryan and demands for a
speech brought Mr.. Bryan to the balcony
where he was cheered again and again.
He was followed by two men bearing an
enormous American flag. As the crowd
shouted and the band played the big flag
was thrown to the breeze and finally
thrown about the shoulders of the candi-
date. He smilngly acknowledged the
plaudits from below and pushed back the
flag from his shoulders and addressed the
crowd below him.
There shall be no signs of keep off
the grass when you come around. boys"
he began, good naturedly to the jostling
thousands on the streets. Then he ask
ed: rs this the Bland club"
A yell in the affirmative answered the
inquiry.

AN EARLY VIEW OF IT.
How the Leaders Regarded the Situa-
ton Before the Convention Opened.

Chicago. July 10.-The struggle today
opened with delegates wrought up to an
intensity of pitch over the sensational de-
velopments of yesterday, when the Bryan
wave swept through the convention and
threatened to stampede it, 1t disturbed
all calculations and had thrown the ranks
of other candidates into confusion. The
Nebraska man had given. by his presence
on the platform, that magnetic touch
which has thus far been lacking One
of the orators friends referred to him as
1iberus Grachu, the tribune of the peo-
pie; another styled him Cicero. The
Bland managers, while admitting the
danger of the impetuous Bryan move
ment, declared it was the result of adroit
generalship, and that it would fail in its
purpose OF carrying the convention off its
feet They still had their strongholds
and were smilingly confident that the
figures of the ballot would take from the
Bryan movement its element of popular
enthusiasm. The Bland men still count
ed on the west and were hopeful of Win
ming accessions from the south after the
first ballot. The Boies and Matthews
forces were satisfied no nomination could
be made on the early ballots, and that the
names of Bland and Bryan would gradu-
ally disappear after their full strength
registered was found insufficient to nom
mate The lesser candidates were play
ing Il waiting game.

over these Characterization of the two
most Impressive roles that standard
tragedy affords.
1t will be somewhat of a surprise to
many to know that Mr.. James has Sc
lected as his opening bill Hamlet"
For years this fine actor has identified
himself with the robust roles to which
he is by physical endowments particu-
larly suited. Still in his heart he has
always nourished a desire to play the
Prince of Denmark, desire backed by
his conviction that in his Interpretation
of the role he had something of genuine
value to offer to the public. The story
of his ambition is not without interest,
as ii has a historical flavor as well.
1t dates back a good many years to the
last visit of Tomaso Salvini. Salvini
had attended one of Edwin Booths per-
formances of Hamlet" at Booths the
alter IN New York. After the last cur
tain had fallen Salvini and a number
of other well-known players repaired
to the green room Of the theater where
Mr.. Booth soon Joined them. AS il was,
Salvinis first view of the great Ameri-
can Hamlet, Mr.. Booth naturally asked
him to express an opinion. The great
Italian tragedian hesitated before ex-
pressing himself, but finally said: Il
cannot entirely agree with your inter-
probation. II is a great study, one that
will live, but il is not Shakespeare's
Hamlet. In the interpretive study of
the moody Dane you have failed TO

Louis James, an actor of whose ac-
complshments, achievements and re-
pute the theater- going public needs no
commentator. will play three nights
engagement at Maguire's opera house,
commencing Monday night.
Mr. James has for years been one of
the greatest favorites among the stars
of the theatrical armament whose an
nual orbit includes Butte. So far his
visits have always been made jointly
with some other well-known star, first
with the late Lawrence Barrett, then
successfully with Marie wainwright,
Joseph Jefferson and Fred Warde. This
season he comes alone to stand on his
own merits and by virtue of his own
qualities.
No star in the legitimate roles has
better qualifications to this exalted DO
sition. His career has been long, use
full and, at timees, resplendently brill
liant one. In certain roles he is not only
uneXcelled, but unequalled in this coun-
try at least, and, barring the elder SAL
VIM, in any country. AS Hamlet, Mac
beth and Othello he stands unrivaled
to-day. His Moor of Venice has been
seen here before. In it's rugged vigor
splendid authority. unquestionable sin
certify, ii stands prominently as the
ideal realization of this role which is so
exacting in it's many artistic and ply
steal requirements.
Macbeth" is another play whose
principal character suits Mr. James
both physically and temperamental.
Who can realize better the splendid
figure whose physical courage and
prowess is realized in the line What
man dare, l dare" and whose achieve
ments were worthy of such a tribute as
that paid him by the sergeant on the
very threshold of the play. Macbeth"
has not been played here in years, and
Mr.. James may be assured of a big
house for the occasion, for the play has
always been one of the greatest draw
ing cards of the whole Shakespearean
reportory. Mr.. James characterization
of the Thane of Cawdor won him the
following glowing tribute from a writer
on the New York World
In Mr.. James Interpretation the
Thane comes to us as mighty strophe
rololing out of mediavolism with open
diapason, full of seismic mutterings
and hidden imports breathing a mes
sage from nature herself Only in this
Interpretation can the unutterable
grandeur of the tragedy be realized"
William Winter once said that with
proper surroundings Louis James
should rise to the highest pinnacle of
art in these two roles and he spent
many hours with Mr.. James working

The reason of this is because the first

The authorities in Paris did not allow
the Prusisan uniform to be worn by the
actors in a recent production for fear of
diplomatic complications at Berlin. The
actors donned Belgian uniforms in
stead. On no stage in Germany will
the authorities suffer players to appear
in the garb of soldier or OF a police
man. When the "Gaiety Girl was pro-
duced in Berlin the officers and soldiers
in the cast appeared in regulation swal-
lowtails and tuXedos.

understand their words, but the music
told the story.
What appealed to me most was the
beautiful simplicity of 1t all and the
evident art. There can be no doubt, il
is art" he asserted, when some one
questioned the work of the musicians
coming under that head.
1T is art. too, that is the result of
centuries of study. Those players do
not sing as they do without great study
and practice Neither could the instru-
mentalists produce the effects they do
without having been carefully trained.
Ii seems TO me TO combine many pecu-
liarities of the Slavic and of the Scotch
music. The rhythm is perfect. Through
