PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
Imperialism Is So Designated In the
Platform.

Imperialism Is So Designated In the
Platform.
Next to the demonstration for the
party candidate that greeting the an.
nouncement that Imperialism was to be
the paramount issue of this campaign
was the most spontaneous and signii-
cant of the day. Senator Tillman read
the platform, and with much force
brought out the fact that imperialism
was now given the first and supreme
place among the issues of the party.
That the delegates and audience were
in complete accord with the programme
was shown by the long and continued
applause, lasting over % minutes. Fol-
lowing this the announcement that the
16 to idea was retained received only a
faint and short demonstration, the ap-
plause being only continued few min
utes. 1t was regarded as significant
of the spirit of the delegates.
The most stirring incident Of the day
was the appearance of Webster Davis,
formerly assistant secretary of the in
terror in McKinley's administration, in
speech severely arraigning the Re-
publican party for its lack of sympathy
for the Beers and formally announcing
his allegiance to the Democratic party.
Most Remarkable Struggle.
But the great battle of the convention
has not been fought under the eyes of
cheering thousands, but in the privacy
of the closely guarded quarters of the
committee on platform. Here was
waged one of the most remarkable
struggles that has ever racked this his
toric party. On the one hand was the
influence Of Bryan and the absolute
unity of devotion felt towards him and
the cause of silver with which his name
is inseparably linked. On the other
hand were many of the patriarchs of the
party insisting that the very life of the
organization was endangered by cling
ing to its old issues and the duty of the
hour called for new issues based upon
new and vital events. And out of this
fierce struggle the adherents of Bryan
emerged Scared but victorious They
have written the platform in their own
way with 16 to /. And it has not been
victory without concession, for in the
final draft silver is no longer "para-
mount" It is far down in the plat
form, while in the very fore front is the
declaration that imperialism is the
paramount issue of this campaign"

KANSAS CITY, July Civilian Jen-

nomination for the presidency on the
Democratic ticket on platform oppos-
ing imperialism, militarism and trusts
and specific declaration for silver at
the ratio of 16 to /. The nomination
came as the elimination of frenzied
demonstration in honor of the party
leaders, lasting 81 minutes and giving
utterance to all the pent up emotions of
the vast multitude. 1t followed also a
fierce struggle concerning the platform
declaration on silver and on the relative
position which the silver question is to
maintain to the other great issues of the
day. 1t was late in the afternoon when
the convention was at last face to face
with the presidential nomination.
Earlier in the day there had been tedi-

LONDON, July 6.-The story that all
foreigners in Pekin were murdered on
June 30 or July appears to be circulat-
ing simultaneously at Che Foo, Shang-
hal and Tien Tsin. Yet, as it is not
confirmed by official dispatches and is
not traceable to the southern viceroys
who are still in certain connection with
Pekin, there is basis for the hope that
it is untrue.
Cautious observers at Shanghai rec
Ognize that even though these reports
are rejected events in Pekin must be
galloping to tragic end.
Correspondents of The Express at
Shanghai gathered details from Chinese
sources, which, placed together, relate
that when the foreigners ammunition
was exhausted the Boxers and imperial
troops rushed the British legation and
poured into the courtyard with fanati-
cal fury. The foreign troops were so
hopelessly outnumbered that their fate
was certain. The moment the mob
broke in the courtyard was
Converted Into a SHAMELESS.
Others of the invaders spread into the
interior of the building. One CORE
spondent adds:

final rush of the murderous hordes the

strange change. The demeanor of the
better class of Chinese is one of pity
rather than of triumph. Even the rab-
BILE in the native quarters are silent.
Something of this eliminating trag-
edy in the CHASTITY history of recent
events in Peking seems to pervade the
very atmosphere here and to compel
belief against all our hopes. The con-
sui fears the report is too true and the
Chinese officials do not appear to seek
reasons for denial"

The nomination was made on the first
ballot, state after state joining in the

proceedings at previous stages, al

that this was enough work for one day

taneity and enthusiasm was one of the
most notable features the convention
has produced. 1t was accompanied,
too, by remarkable scene when Hill
earnestly appealed to his friends against
being placed in nomination, and then,
finding his protest in vain, he strobe to
the platform and in tones which left no
doubt of their sincerity earnestly be-
sought the convention not to make him
the nominee.

POISON OR SWORD.
Emperor and Empress Dowager Given

Emperor and Empress Dowager Given
Their Choice.
LONDON, July 6.-Two Manchus, who
have arrived at Shang hal, certify to the
truth of the stateme mt that Prince Tuan
visited the palace and offered the en-
peror and the dowager empress the al
tentative of poison or the sword. The
emperor, they. say, took poison and
died within an hour. The dowager en-
press also chose poison, but craftily
swallowed only a portion of what was
offered her and survived. On the same
day the Chinese customs bureau was
destroyed, Sir Robert Hart, the in
spector of customs, and his staff escap-
ing to the legation.
Intense indignation is felt in Shang-
hal against the action of the powers in
restraining Japan from sending an
army to Pekin Immediately. The pow
ers are accused of being as guilty of
murder as are Prince Tuan's fanatics,
and Sir Robert Hart is blamed for not
having informed the foreigners of the
immense import of arms, especially a
few weeks ago.
Use German Plans.
The Chinese commanders are prepar-
ing for a long, severe campaign, and are
putting into operations plans drawn up
by German officers last year for resist
ing an invasion from the seaboard by
Russia.
The correspon dent of The Daily Mail
at Shanghai, telegraphing under date of
July 8, 1915 p. M, says that he be-
lieves that when official information
comes regarding Pekin it may include
news of the outraging of English women
and torturing of children. 1t may be
taken for granted, he sserts, that all
foreigners in Pekin have been wiped
out.

Nearly Every State Had Something to
Say on the Vice Presidential Question.
KANSAS City, July 1.-THE third and
final day of the Democratic national
convention was called to order by
Chairman Richardson at 10:40 a. m. 1t
was some minutes before there was
sufficient quiet for the opening invoca-
ton and then the great audience arose,
while Rev. Rabbi Mayer of Kansas
City delivered prayer breathing the
sense of responsibility resting upon the
convention.
Immediately following the prayer the
call of the states begun for the purpose
of making nominations for the vice
presidency. Great confusion prevailed
and very few of the delegates were
aware of what was going on. Alabama
yielded to Illinois, but the disorder was
SO great nothing could be done. The
police and sergeants-at-arms struggled
yainly TO dispossess the mob, which
was now we'll nigh in control of the
floor 1t took 10 minutes to restore
some semblage of order.
Stevenson and IOWne Named.
When quiet was restored Congress
man Williams of Illinois placed Ste
yenson in nomination. Mr.. Williams
spoke rapidly and briefly and at his
was on it's feet cheering wildly. The
applause, while vigorous, was short,
not lasting above minute. When the
roll call reached Connecticut that state
gave way to Minnesota amid cheers
aud cries of "Towne." l.. A. Rosing
of Minnesota then took the platform to
present the name Of Charles A. Towne
of his state.
Mr.. Rosing is tall, powerful man
with a voice befitting his stalwart
frame He could be heard in every di-
rection. His first applause was gained
when he spoke of Mr.. Towne as man
who embodied the best characteristics
of American manhood. When he pro-
nounced the name of Towne there was
cheering from the Minnesota delega-
ton which rose 60 its feet waving flags
in frantic fashion. The galleries joined
in the applause with fervor, but there
was less enthusiasm among the men on
the floor who had the votes
Urging Hill to Accept
While the galleries were enthusing
over Mr.. Towne there was an excited
little group about the chair of ex-Sen-
ator Hill.
.'You must take the nomination and
save the East said Edward Murphy
excitedly.

his face white and set. 81 do not want

ward speakers of more or less promi-

becoming too restless. The first ses-

morning, was
Entirely Fruitless of Results,
and it was not until late in the after
noon when the second session had be.
gun that the platform committee was
at last able to reach an agreement. AL
ready it's main features had become
known to the delegates, and there was
little delay in giving its unanimous ap-
proval. This ended the last chance
for an open rupture on the question of
principles and left the way clear for
the eliminating business of the day
the nomination of a candidate. The
vast Auditorium was filled to it's utmost
capacity when the moment arrived for
the nomination to be made. When the
call Of states began for the purpose of
placing candidates in nomination, Ala
bama yielded it's place at the head of
the list to Nebraska, and Oldham of
that state made his way to the plat
form for the initial speech placing Mr..
Bryan in nomination for the presi-
dency. The orator was strongly voiced
and entertaining, and yet to the wait
ing delegates and spectators there was
but one point to his speech and that
was the stirring peroration which
closed with
The Name of William j. Bryan.
This was the signal for the demonstra-
ton of the day and in common pur.
pose the great concourse joined in q
great tribute Of enthusiastic devotion to
the party leader. A huge oil portrait of
Bryan, measuring 10 feet across, was
brought down the main aisle before the
delegates. At the same time the stand
ards of the state delegations We're torn
from their sockets and waved on high,
while umbrellas of red, white and blue,
silk banners of the several states and
many handsome and unique transpar-
encies were borne about the building
and the deafening clamor of 10000
yelling, gesticulating men and women.
All of the intensity of former demon
STATIONS and much more was added to
this final tribute to the leader.
When the demonstration had spent
itself the speeches seconding the NOM
ination of Mr.. Bryan were in order.
Senator White spoke for California,
giving the tribute of the Pacific coast to
the Nebraska candidate. When Colo
RADIO was reached that state yielded to
Senator Hill of New York.
The Distinguished New Yorker
was accorded a splendid reception, the
entire audience rising and cheering
wildly, with the single exception of the
little group of Tammany leaders, who
sat silent throughout the cheers for
their New York associate. Mr.. Hill
was in fine voice and his tribute to the
Nebraskan touched sympathetic chord
in the hearts of the audience. The
