duke.
London, Aug. 1.-The news of the
death of the duke of SaXe-COburg-
Gotha, second son of Queen Victoria,
has created a sensation in London, as
it was totally unexpected. There
were many callers at Clarence and
Marlborough houses, and the lord
chamberlain's office. Flags were half
masted at the Carleton, Reform,
Sports and other West End clubs.
The queen was deeply affected, and
the prince of Wales cancelled the ar
rangements for attending Goodwood

was the favorite in the race for the
Stewards cup.
The funeral of the late duke will be
held at Coburg on Friday, August B..

days dispatches show that the allies,
notably the Japanese, have been max

haste, organizing service of pack
carts, trains and junks. 1t is reported
from Berlin that Lieut.. Won Lessel,

Dangerous situation.
The Chinese are strongly entrenched
at Wang Tsun, from which position,
however, 1t is believed they can be
elected without great difficulty. The
danger is that, if defeated there, the
Chinese will retire on Peking and put
the remainder of the Europeans !, to
death. 1t is also possible that the adj
vance of the allies will be the signal
for the Chinese authorities to compel
all foreigners to quit the capital, in
which event they might become the
prey of the fanatical Boxers.
The feeling of the newspapers here
is that nothing whatever should now
delay the advance and that no nego-
tiations of any kind should be coun-
tenanced until the allied troops reach

1t is reported from an unofficial but
usually reliable source that the Chi.
nese minister at st. Petersburg wired
to Ii Hung Chang, intimating the pos.
sibility of obtaining favorable terms
of settlement from Russia if China
would adopt a conciiiatory attitude
and compel cessation of the attacks
on the legation. Thereupon, accord

memorialized the throne, representing
that he was i'll and unable to come tc

leavor be made to send the minister:

Tommy Sullivan, of Brooklyn, at
Coney Island Tuesday night, in their
battle at 122 pounds. The end came as
the men shaped for the seventh round

and claiming that his left arm was
disabled refused to permit him to con-

for the referee than to declare Sulli-

Dixon's left arm was found to be
broken In two places.

SECOND DAY.

Kansas City, Mo. Especially When
the news spread about the time for the
meeting of the convention that 16 to l
had been finally agreed upon by the
committee on resolutions, it was re-
ceived with varied feelings. The sill
yer men were eXultant, while those OF
moderate tendencies were correspond
ingly disappointed.
The fact that the majority members
of the committee represented only 1853
electoral votes was much commented
upon. The great States, with the few
est exceptions, were in the minority,
but as Idaho on the committee counted
as much as Pennsylvania or Maryland,
the great States did not amount to
much. All were waiting to see how it
would be in the convention, where the
minority would have chance to de-
bate.
1t was late when Chairman Richard
son struck his gavel. By this time the
mob was everywhere, wedged in the
galleries with not an inch to spare,
boldly crowding in on all the reserved
sections, overwhelming the press rep
resentatives and the special guests on
the stage. Every aisle was blocked,
the seats of the delegates were mo-
nopolized and it was evident that ii
was an assemblage which required
skiliful and strong handling.
The chairman made a brief address
to the spectators, asking them to assist
him in maintaining order. This was
like whistling against the wind The
sergeant-at-arms stepped to the front
and informed those who were indulg-
ing in the innocent play of freemen's
spirits that if it did not stop a platoon
of police would charge. This meant
business, and it had a temporary effect
The interval was availed of to pre-
sent Ex-Governor Hogg, of Texas, who
did his best to kill time for the benefit
of the committee on platform, which
having been up all night, was not yet
ready to report.
Mr.. Dockery, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Missouri, fol
lowed He stirred up the anti-English
sentiment finely.
The demands for Hill were constant
but Hill did not think his time had
come.
The chairman announced that the
committee on resolutions would not be
ready to report before $50 p. m, and
adjournment was taken until that time

Kansas City, Mo. (SpeciaD The
Democratic National Convention which
nominated Mr.. Bryan for President
and adopted it's platform, completed its
work by nominating Mr.. Stevenson for
Vice-President.
Ex-senator David j. Hill, of New
York, could have had the nomination
for second place, but he checked a
great stampede which was started in
his behalf The New York delegation
led this stampede and presented Hill
as its candidate. The vast crowd
shouted wildly for Hill, but he made a
speech saying firmly that he could not
accept the nomination and this headed
off the movement.

before the convention besides Steven

Suicide i'm Sussex.

News reached Petersburg of sui
eide in Sussex county. about two miles
north of Stony creek, the victim OF
death by his own hand being a Ger
man named Workman. who took his
life by hanging himself in his stable.
A picnic was given at Smith Brothers
store, two miiNS from Stony creek, and
among those in attendance were two
young men named Maui, stepsOns of
Workman. 1t appears that these two
young men left Workman and his wife
at home Workman came to his dln-
ner a; the usual hour and after dinner
he lefr the dining-roOm and it was sup
posed that he had gone up to his room
to take nap. Nothing more was seen
of him until the return of the Maui
brothers from the picnic. They went
to the stable to put away their horses
and to their surprise found their step
father dead. with rope around his
neck, dangling from beam. Work
ham was about 80 years of age. 1t is
not known why he committed the rash
act.

ment of Maryland, My Maryland"
Disorder began long before the com.
mencement of the afternoon session OF
the convention. Crowded to suffoca-
ton is a faint expression Of the situa-
ton.
The first business was the reading OF
the platform by Senator Tillman, OF
South Carolina. The reading was in
terrupted with frequent applause.
During the reading word was passed
among the delegates that the minority
of the committee on resolutions would
submit no report, being content with
having imperialism constituted the
foremost plank. The platform was
adopted by reclamation. Outward har-
mony had been restored, at any rate,
and there was no movement OF dissent
from any quarter.
Nominations for President were now
called for.
Bryan was put in nomination before
the convention by Willis d. Oldham,
Assistant Acknowledgement of NeDras-
ka. Seconding speeches were made by
George w. Perkins of Texas; ex-Sen-
ator White, of California; Judge
Thompson, of Illinois; ex-senator Hill,
of New York; Senator John W. Daniel,
of Virginia; Blair Lee, of Maryland;

KANSAS City at noon on the
Fourth of July, developed a decided
surprise.
Not only was the plan of the lead
ors for a one-day convention spoiled
but nothing beyond the actual WORK
of organization was accomplished
notwithstanding that the convention
was in session until 1924 o'clock at
night. Three sessions were held
from noon to go p. M, from 4.43 70
4.51 D. M, and from S33 10 1924 p. M
At the last-named hour an adjourn
ment was taken until 1890 o'clock a
M, which is equivalent to 1l,30 &C
cording to Baltimore time.
The opening session was devoted
chiefly to the selection of Gov. Charles
s. Thomas, of Colorado as temporary
chairman, a speech by Governor
Thomas, the reading of the Declare
ton of independence and the appoint
ment of committees. The second SEES
sion transacted no important business
as the committees were not ready to
report. At the night session all the
committees reported except that on
resolutions, which was still debating
the platform. Congressman James ID.
Richardson. of Tennessee, was selected
as permanent chairman and made a
speech. EX-Gov. John 2, Altgeld, OF
Illinois, also spoke AS the committee
on resolutions was not ready to report,
the convention accomplished little or
actual business.

The Late Col. Cowardin.

The death of C. OBJ. Cowardin,
editor of the Richmond Dispatch, has
called forth expressions of sympathy
and regret from all parts of this and
from many other States. To the fam
lily of the dead editor and 10 the Office
of the paper a great many of these tele-
grams came. Among those from whom
condolences were received was Arch
bishop Gibbons of Baltimore, who tele-
graphed to the Dispatch: Deeply
moved by Mr.. Cowardin's death. An
upright citizen; a conscientious editor;
consistent Christian; genial COM
panion; faithful husband" The in
terment of the deceased was in the
family section in Hollywood, where his
father, mother. brothers and other
members of his family rest.
