HILL TURNED DOWN.
Interesting Dialogue Between Him and
Croker.

Kansas City, Mo, July 3.-The New
York state delegation furnished the sen
sation Of the day when after a stormy
session of three hours they put forth
"a candidate for Vice President in the
person of John w. Keller, commissioner
OF charities of the city Of New York.
This was doae after David b. Hill had
been defeated as q candidate for the
New York representative on the COM
mittee on platform by Augustus Van
Wyck and having been offered New
York's endorsement for Vice President,
had declined it.
There are those in the delegation who
believe that the delegation leaders are
playing the same game that was played
By the Republican delegates in PhlIa-
delphia when they endorsed II. L. Wood
Raff for the aVice Presidency and that the
name of Kellar is presented for the pur-
pose of keeping the delegates from voting
for any other New Yorker until they. can
vote either for Towne or for SuIzer.
Mr.. Sulzer withdrew in favor of Mr..
Kellar and in fact seconded the nonnina-
tion which lends some color to this sur
mise.
1t was 2 O'Clock this afternoon when
ex-senator Hin was notified by Frank
Campbell that there was a movement on
foot in the Tammany delegation assisted
by Kings county and Erie to side-traclz
him by not putting him on the platform
committee, but to gstand for him
for Vice-President. Shortly afterward
Mr.. Hill was sent for and had a long CON
ference with Mr.. Croker, Mr.. Shea. ex-
Senator Murphysand Mr.. McCarren. He
was notified that the delegation stood
ready to stand for him for Vice Presi-
dent. He replied that he did not want
it and was then told fatty that he could
not go on the committee on platform.
Senator Hill argued in vain against
these decisions and finally the conference
decided on the course afterward affirmed
by the delegation, but not until there
had been bitter light resulting in HIPS
defeat at which he left the delegation
meeting. All through the controversy
the ex-Gov. sat quietly. Then he arose
slowly and facing Richard Croker. who
sat in the rear Of the room, said SLOWLY
and distinctly:
''There hay been said some thingse that
have seemed to be reflections upon NV

were to be the three distinct features OF
The Kansas City convention. The manner
IN which the Towne boom flourish seemed
to arouse delegates who want straight
out Democrat for second place and who
object to being accused of swallowing
the Populist ticket and platform.
1t was this feeling that turnedatten-
tion to Elliot Danforth of New York and
for time it seemed that the East and
South combined might name the New
Yorker. And while the action OF the
New York delegation in defeati ng Dam
forth and putting up Kellar seemed to
make Danforth s selection improbable,
the tide that set toward 7Danforth during
the day served to show that the mass OF
delegates was not for .Towne One thing
that New York has indicated pretty
surely is that the state does not want
Vice Presidential candidate, at least the
majority under the control Of Croker
for KeIlar is not considered in a serious
light at all
In this same connection it may be said
that the Sulzer candidacy also suffered
somewhat as ySulzer supported the no
mination Of Kellar, a singular action for
an avowed candidate. OF course this
act is an evidence OF the discipline Of
Tammany hall, but it also confirms the
impression among outside delegates that
Sulzur's candidacy is not serious.
Late in the evening after the action OF
the New York delegation became known,
the announcement was made that Ill1-
nois was to place Adlai Stevenson in mo-
mination and quite little boom was
started for him by some of the dele
gates. 1t was also said that Massachu-
setts would vote for George Fred VIII
liams on the early ballot and that there
was a prospect Of a general favorite
SOM movement until the convention
would settle on some one acceptable to
the majority.
The conference. of representatives of the
Democrats, Populists and Silver Re
publicans held in the middle of the day,
while not advancing the prospects of any
candidate, was not encouraging to the
friends OF Towne.
The days developments instead of maxi
ing the situation clearer simply resulted
in tangling it up more than ever before,
leaving the selection of the Vice Presi-
dent not to the leaders and managers,
but the convention.

RRYAN,s uLT1MATUM.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 3.-Bryan will
not run on any platform which does not
contain specific declaration in favor
Of free coinage at the ratio Of 16 to 1. If
this convention does not put that decla-
ration in the platform it will have to
nominate another candi date for Presi-
dent"
This statement was made today to the
b>ssociated Press by Judge A. S. Tibbits
of Lincoln, delegate at large from Mr..
Bryan own state and chairman of the
state delegation to this convention. 1t
serves to emphasize the determined stand
taken by the Nebraska statesman.

FEARS FOR EUROPE.
Count BOni de CasteIIane Discusses
Growth of Importation in
United States.

Count Boni De Castellane had an ar
ticle in the Paris Gaulois the other
day, evidently inspired by his recent
visit to the United States and entitled
1.-THE Two Imperiaisms," in which he
draws an analogy between British and
American imperialism. After pointing
out that the Americans are taking
sides over the Transvaal, he says:
IF imperialism should triumph
definitely in the United States the
Latin, Germanic and Slav nations will
have to defend themselves in the fu-
ture against a union Of all the Anglo
Saxon forces"
In concluding the article Count
Castellane says: II pretend neither to
criticise nor to teach. 1 speak as a
Frenchman who forsees great rule
for the United States in the future, and
who wishes this immense force to act
in accord with France and not against
her. speak as a sincere admirer of
the country, of it's progress and its
truly democratic institutions, and
finally as man profoundly touched
with the hospitality this great and
munifcent nation accords to all those
who visit it as friends. May the future
show us a union of two democracies
and not two imperialisms."

A new figure in the german, which
may or may not become fashionable,
was introduced by r. Wilmarth-Apple-

Driving club there.
Mr.. Appleton placed chair in the
center of the dancing floor, and to it,
with much polite ceremony, he led Mrs
Frank W. Duryea. Then before Mrs.
Duryea this inventive leader placed
her husband, C. F. Hubbs, and Harry
Bennett, and to each man he gave a
cigarette. The three struck matches
simultaneously. The man who first
finished his cigarette was to win Mrs.
Duryea for partner.

KRUGER ASKS FOR gIl
Sends Long Cablegram to Salisbury.
Outlining the Terms He Is
Willing to Accept
THE OFFICIALS REGARD IT A. A RusE.
Believed Beers Are Anxious to Gain
Tme-Dispatch from Robe rts Says
Kruger and Steyn Were with
Troops During Fight of March T..
Couldn't Rally Troops.

London, March 10.-Late Friday
afternoon it was learned that the
peace rumors were founded on the
fact that President Kruger has ap-
pealed to Lord Salisbury for a cessa-
ton of hostilities, offering at length,
by cable, the terms which he is will
ing to accept. These, however, are not
taken seriously, as they include prac-
tically nothing more than what the
Transvaal government offered prior
to the issuing of the British ulti-s
matum.
Official circles here regard the
propositions as merely a ruse of the
Beers to gain time and do not con-
slider that President Kruger is yet
ready to consider the sweeping de-
mands which Great Britain will make
as reimbursement for the loss of life
and great expenditure.
It was understood that President
Kruger's advances had met with an
emphatic rejection at the hands of
Lord Salisbury, who is believed to
have said that no such attempt to re-
tain the independence of the Trans
vaal can be considered for a moment
by the British government.
Kruger Uses q Rifle.
Dispatches from the Boer camp at
Glencoe, via Lorenzo Marques, depict
President Kruger as DOMINIC bando-
lier, Selling rife and inviting volun-
teers to accompany him, as he wished
to have shot at the enemy himself.
President Kruger is also quoted as
having declared in his address to the
troops that he "did not know whether
arbitration or Intervention would end
the struggle, but that it would end
quickly, within the next month, he
strongly believed"
Kruger and Steyn Were Present.
The war office has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Lord Roberts,:
Poplar Grove, Friday Morning.-Presi-
dents Kruger and Steyn were both present
at the fight of March and did all in their
power to rally their troops The rout,
however, was complete, the men declar-
ing that they could not stand against the
British artillery and such a formidable
force of cavalry"
Beers Want to Negotiate.
London, March 1O.-The Daily Mail
publishes the following dispatch from
Pretoria, dated Thursday, March s,
via Lourenzo Marques, which had
been censored by the Boer govern
ment:
Conversations I have had with the
highest state officials show that the Beers
want some arrangement. They say that if
England is waging a war of conquest they
will fight to the finish. Otherwise they be-
lieve that plain statement of the Boer in
tentions will reveal basis of negotiation,
now that England's prestige is repaired.
President Kruger and President Steyn con-
ferred Monday at Bloemfontein on the in
corporation of the above representations in
a cablegram to Lord Salisbury. The pres
ervation Of the independence of the two
republics is sine qua non.''

Automobiles had d bad time of IL
IN Chicago during the recent heavy.
fall Of snow and but few OF the driverss
would venture out. Once caught IN !.
drift moro than q few inches IN depth,
q vehicle propelled by electricity was
helpless. The snow afforded an un-
satisfactory surface on which to run
the broad wheels. In drifts it was
merely q question Of getting out be-
fore the electric power was exhausted
OF being ignomino usly helped of by
team Of horses. e
u The helplessness Of the drivers was
q source of much amusement to the
crowds that gathered around stranded
vehicles. One automobile was driven
into q drift on Randolph street, near
State street, early in the afternoon.
The driver reversed his lever and
turned on q current that sent hi. car
riage forward with Jerk that nearly
lost him his seat on the box: But
it only made matters worse, for then
he found that he could not even back
out. A number Of pedestrians who
were waiting for the street cars Of
fered gratuitous advice. "Get a mule"
suggested a boy. "Step inside and
wait for a thaw," advised a fat man
who was enjoying the situation. ''Get
down and push behind" Call the re-
pair wagon" and other weu-meant
remarks that did not seem to con-
tribute to the drivers comfort were
made from time to time until horses
were attached to tho carriage and it
was drawn away.
Between you and me-" remarked
cabman who saw the predicament
of his competitor, them things won't
do. Horses beats 'em in this kind of
weather" Two automobiles were
stuck the other afternoon in a drift
three or four feet deep on Schiller
street, near State street. When it be-
came dark their drivers were still us
ing electric power in seemingly fu-
tile attempt to get out of the snow.
