Rain Is needed in the Klondike. A de-

becomes much more plentiful before cold
weather comes the summers output will
be no more than fifty per cent. of what it
otherwise would be.
Water Is soarcer this year than any time
since the discovery of the Klondke, says
the Dawson News. Half the claims are
therefore idle, and fewer men are being
employed.

1t was urged on the part of the friends
of Governor Hill that the defeat of Mr..
Danforth would be credited as another de-
feat of Hill. Mr.. Danforth's friends in the
conference held just TO the contrary. They
claimed that If Mr.. Danforth received more
votes that Mr.. Kellar it would demonstrate
Mr.. Hilrs domination over Mr.. Croker. Mr..
Hill was urged TO take I'D Mr.. Danforth's
cause, but up to the hour of midnight he
had not determined 10 do so. In fact, when
approached he said that he believed Stew
enson would be the nominee of the con-
vention. 1t is fact that Stevenson is the
candidate of the conservative element rep
resented by Hill.
1t is the belief of many tonight that Dan
forth will not be candidate. and that
nee. 1t is further believed that Mr.. Towne
will be the radical silver favorite. but it is
generally conceded that Stevenson will
come near getting the majority of the
votes.
The friends of Mr.. Towne still contend
that he is the logical candidate. and that

him the practical Endorsement of the three
parties. naturally gives him the command
ing position in the race.
The Pennsylvania delegation met in eau

KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 5.-The action
of D. B. Hill. of New York, in swallowing
the platform without grimace caused
some comment tonight This morning he
said: THE fight on the platform will be
carried to the floor of the convention. The
action OF the resolutions committee is not
conclusive. Why. just look at the list OF
States that voted for l6-to-1 plank. 1t in
cludes States that never did bring an cleo
toral vote to the Democratic party and
States with small delegations In the con-
yention. Look at the list OF States that
voted no. Isn't every doubtful State In
that column? Doesn't II include nearly
every State that Is battle-ground and the
States with the most powerful delegation.
There's Indiana, for instance, and Mich
igan and New York and Maryland and
Ohio"

settled by the action Of the resolutions COM

THE BAN OF ROME
Laid on j. Rene villatte, Pretender to
an Archbfshopric.

NEW YORK, July 5.-News has been re-
ceived from Rome that the Pope has ex-
communicated ]. Rene Vilatte, at one time
the head of the old Catholics In this coun-
try whose submission to the Roman
Church was announced about two years
ago. The Catholic authorities had refused
to recognize Villatte's title to an arch
bishopric, and there was a rupture that
caused him to leave home and go to
France. The act for which Villatte has
been excommunicated was the consecrating
as bishop of an Italian ex-priest known as
Don Maraglia.
villatte is well known in the United
States, and is a Frenchman about forty-five
years old. First he was Roman Catholic,
but withdrew from the church before he
had finished his studies for the priesthood.
He became an Episcopalian in the diocese
of Fond du Lac. Wis, and. it Is said he
wanted Bishop Grafton, the present head
of the diocese of Fond du Lac. to conse-
crate him bishop. but this was not done.

KANSAS CITY, July 5.-The committee

adjourned sine die. The vote on the adop-
ton of the report unanimous The
conservative element of the committee on

making of Imperialism the issue of primary
importance and some of them were of
opinion that this declaration would be OF
greater benefit to them than the omission
of reference to the ratio would have been.
The committee did not reconvene to-day
until IL o'clock a. m. 1t had adjourned at
4 o'clock with the intention of getting to-
gether at 10, but the all-night vigil proved
quite trying for some Of the members of
the committee and they were slow in col

meeting was utilized by the leaders in last
nights fight against the 16-to-1 movement

Gratis to Accept Their Nominee.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 5.-The COM
mittees appointed by the Democrats. the
Populists and the Silver Republicans to
confer upon the nomination of vice pres
idential candidate held their first confer
ence tonight at 9 o'clock Senators Till
man and Martin and Mr.. George Fred Will
liams were present on behalf of the Demo-
crats Hon. T. NJ. Patterson, Senator Pet
tigrew. Mr.. Breidenthal of Kansas. General
Weaver. Hon. j. r. Sovereign and DR..
Taylor for the Populists, and Senator Tel
Ter, Hon. Charles Hartman and Mr. RAN
som of Nebraska for the Silver Republic
ans.
The entire meeting was devoted to rep
resentation to the Democratic representa-
tives by the other conferees of the availa-
bility of Mr.. Towne as candidate Mr.
Patterson spoke for the Populists and Sen
ator Teller for the Silver Republicans Mr.
Patterson presented a carefully prepared
statement, showing that there were seven
or eight States which Mr.. Towne's nomina-
tion would make sure for the Democratic
ticket, and which would not otherwise be
sure. Senator Teller stated that Towne
was to all intents and purposes Demo-
crat, and said that Towne would have
joined that party two years ago but for the
representations of Mr. Bryan and Chair
man Jones that he could be of greater serv-
ice to the common cause by remaining a
Silver Republican.
Senator Tillman and Mr.. Williams ex-
pressed themselves satisfied with the rep
resentations, and said they were willing to
support Mr.. Towne. Senator Martin said
he had been very favorably impressed, but
committed himself no further. The con-
ferees separated, with the understanding
that other meetings would be held If
deemed necessary.
Charles A. Towne gave the Associated
Press the following signed statement this
forenoon:
'I am greatly encouraged this morning.
Assurances of support are constantly
reaching me from members of the delega-
tons representing all sections of the coun-
try My friends seem to be the only body

tial nomination. I believe the opportunity

AT BRYAN'S HOME.

Pleased with the Platform.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 5.-News of the
nomination of William Jennings Bryan for
President did not arouse the tumult of en-
thusiasm tonight that 1T did four years
ago when the convention at Chicago SINH
his partys standard bearer had been so
long forecasted that anything short of
unanimous call would have been a surprise.
Added to this Is the fact that about half
of Lincoln's Democratic voting strength is
tonight in Kansas City. However, there
were hearty congratulations showered upon
the nominee by an abundance of red fire
and noise when the news became generally
known.
At the Bryan home there was no marked
demonstration. Mr.. Bryan was reclining on
lounge in the parlor with only the family
present when State Senator Talbot, in the
telegraph room above, shouted, You're
nominated. old man.
Then Mr.. Talbot came hurriedly down
stairs. and as Mr.. Bryan reached for the
bulletin he remarked jokingly. Talbot, this

The victory of the radical silver men was
gratifying TO him. He told the Associated
Press correspondent this afternoon before
the convention reassembled after the noon
adjournment that he was hopeful the fight
would not come on the floor of the conven-

Mr.. Bryan answered the question OF a
