Opinions varied widely as to the object
OF the conference. but as nobody had any
really definite Information, the gossip was
purely speculative.
1t is known that Mr.. Hill does not de-
sire a distinct declaration in favor of Is

ton, to accept a modified financial plank
which, while not specifically declaring for
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
Is to /, will be such a reaffirmation of the
Chicago platform on that subject as will
prove satisfactory to all elements OF the
party. .
Later in the day II was suggested that
Mr.. Hill might not return to Kansas City
before tomorrow evening. His conference
with Mr.. Bryan. 1t was said. was to be
of such Importance that it could not be
disposed of in time to enable the Governor
TO leave Lincoln tonight in time to reach
this city tomorrow morning.

veyed no intimation as to Mr. Bryans OBJ
ject in summoning the distinguished New
Yorker. Mr.. Hill himself disclaimed any
knowledge of the purpose in Mr.. Bryans
mind, when he sent the telegram and add
ed that, even If he knew the object of the
visit, 1t would be improper for him to
discuss ii.
McEwan Talked of Hill.
Gen. McEwan, who is one of Mr. Hills
closest political friends, having for many
years been one of his rght-hand men in
the Empire State, did not accompany the
Governor to Lincoln. II have no knowl
edge" said he, "of the reasons which i'm
PEELED Mr.. Bryan TO call the Governor to
Lincoln. To me the telegram from Mr..
Bryan was not surprise as he desires,
doubtless, to be in close touch with people
from all parts of the country"
do you think Mr.. Bryan desires TO dis
cuss the platform with Gov. Hnl?"
Possibly" replied Gen. McEwan. smil-,
ing, "it would be quite natural that they
should have some condolences TO exchange
on the subject"
"It is reported that Gov. Hill has a draft
of some of the planks of the platform
that will be satisfactory to the New York
and Eastern DemocNts generally" was
suggested.
"Oh, that is newspaper gossip" replied
Gen. McEwan, evasively. THE Governor
quite naturally has his Ideas of what
ought to be the declarations of the Kan
sas City Convention. but he is here as
representative Of New York Democrats
a. will support both the ticket and plat
form sgre, upon after such mature de-
liberation as the convention will give
both"
"Is Gov Hill a candidate for the vice
presidency" Gen. McEwan was asked
bluntly.
"He is not" he replied with emphasis.
"You understand, of course. that l do
not speak for Senator Hill further than
that"
Then he wcu'd accept the nom nation
for Vice President If It were rendered
hlm?"
That IL a question which only Gov.
Hill himself can answer" said Gen. Nc
Evan. cautiously. HE alone knows what
he would do In any given set OF oircum-
starces He is not a candidate, however"
The First Sensation.
The summons received by Gov. Hill
from Mr.. Bryan created the first distinct
sensation OF the ante-convention proceed
ings. While few people saw Mr. Hill be-
fore he left for Nebraska. the fact that
he has gone at the request Of Mr.. Bryan
soon was poised about the hotel corridors
and wes the principal topic Of discussion.

This has emphasized the doubt existing
on the pattern and probably was the
chief cause of several interesting private
conferences during the day. The first OF
these was in Senator Jones private rooms
where Mr.. Croker and ex-senator Murphy
called. They found Mes johnson and
Campau, OF the Executive Commit tee
with Mr.. Jones, and the talk soon turned
to the platform. 1t can be stated on the
authority of one of the gentlemen psrtici-

any exact platform proposition, but they
appeared more as couns elors and advisers

stood to be that of last night. The text
is withheld. but the consul states, in sub
stance. as follows:
1T Is rumored in Shanghai that the
German minister to Pekin. Baron vou Ket-.
teller, was killed at Pekin on June IS.
On June % three of the legation build

been burned. On June 26 a dispatch was
received at Shanghai from Yung Lu (be-
lieved to be the viceroy of the province of
Chile, where the principal troubles have.
occurred,) stating that the other ministers
were safe. Dispatches to Shanghai from
different sources indicate that Prince
Tuan. father of the heir apparent seems
to be absolutely in control at Pekin, and
that his attitude is the worst possible and
most hostile to foreigners. 1t is even
said that he issued an edict as far back as
June 20, ordering all of the viceroys to
attack the foreigners in the respective
provinces. an order which so far has not
been obeyed."

SAVANNAH, GA, MONDAY, 2

Nothing has been heard from the col

FIVE days ago. and then proceeded to-
ward Pekin; but 1t takes at least two
days to communicate between Tien Tsin
and Che Foo, here is nothing extraordin-
ary in this. Troops are, going forward
from Taku to Tien Tsin daily, though
some reported from Taku allege that it
will be weeks before a large force can
be sent to Pekin.
Russians PlIlaEed nnd Killed.
dispatch to the Daily Mail from Tong
Ku. without date, via Che Foo, Friday,
says:
1T is improper any longer to conceal tho
harm done TO the cause of the allies by
the barbarities and the pillage of the
Russians on the day of the bombardment.
They wantonly shot natives and looted
everything. including the European houses
in Taku. Natives for miles around were
looted OF supplies. and labor is scarcer."
The morning papers generally accept as
conclusive the reports that Baorn Won
Ketteler has been killed, and express grave
uncertainty as to whether any of the MEM
bers of the legations at Pekin are safe.

Keep Your Head Up.


One OF the best ways In the world
to keep the shoulders straight is to
hold the head up in the air. II You
go with your head looping forward
You look like an enervated apology
Tor yourself, and pretty soon you will
begin to feel as ''hangdog" as you
look. A long-continued habit OF
keeping the head bent forward tends
to develop the characteristics that the
attitude implies. you get slouchy in
your dress, irresolute in your habit of
speech, absent-minded, and likely
enough, finally, poor, sneaking
counterfeit Of a boy or girl. So hold
mp your head physically and II will
help you to hold up your head spirit
nally and mentally. Your tendency
will be to breathe deeper, to walk
freer and to see more Of the world.
The earth Is beneath. The sky, trees,
human faces and hosts Of other inter-
esting things are so high mp that You
will not see them at all unless you
throw back your shoulders and lift up
your head to it's natural and honorable
place. A bent head tends to make
Inv Chs S55r. ior yoss tendency
Is always to be pitching forward, and
so we find that ''stoop. shouldered"
persons develop lung trouble, spinal
trouble and generally undesirable
condition. Hold up your headl

The Boy OF the Family.

Now, II anyone has an easy time
In this world Of push and pub.
Il is not the boy Of the family,
For bis hands are always full.
I'd like to ask who fills the stove2
Where Is the girl that could2
Who brings 10 water, who lights the href
And splits the kindling woodf
And who Is Il that cleans the walks,
After hours OF snowing2
In summer, who keeps down the weeds
By diligently hoelng2
And who must harness the faithful horse,
When the girls would ride about?
And who must clean the carrisge2
The boy, you'll own, no doubt
And who does tho many other things
Too numerous 10 mentionf
The boy 10 the general utility man."
And really deserves pension!
Friends, Just praise this boy sometimes,
When he does his very best;
And don't always want the easy chair
When he's taking q little rest.
Don't let him always DO the last
To see the new magazine; ttr} III
And sometimes let the boy be heard,
As well as 20 be seen.
That boys are far from perfect,
Is understood by ali;
But they have hearts, remember,
For ''men are boys grown tall" ~
And when boy has been working
His level best for days, t' b.H5

To have some hearty praise.

And he likes to be looked upon
