DANFoRTH AND HILL.

Jansas City, Mo. July 1.-The most important development in the vice pres idential situation tonight vas the an nouncement that when the roll of states is called tomorrow for the nom ination of candidates for vice president, Alabama will yield to Florida and Hon. R. D. Mcdonald of that state will place Elliott Danforth of New York in nom ination. This programme became known during the heat of the conven- tion tonight, and was discussed by quite a number of leading men in diff ferent delegations.
 Another development was the un-

A LIVELY DAY.

Kansas City. July 5.-The convention hall was again besieg q today by eager and excited thousands long before the time set for opening the second days proceedings. Augustus Van Wyck, rep resenting New York on the platform committee, refused to sign the minor ity report against the IS to l pToposi- tion. The action of MT. Van Wyck was approved by Tammany.
 The arrival of Richard Croker called forth few cheers from the galleries, and as usual when a Tammany man shows up there was cry of "Hill'' just to re- mind him that "there are others" At 11:02 a. m. Chairman Richardson called the convention to order. At the con- clusion of prayer MT. Richardson an nOunced that the platform committee was not ready to report and pending

SILVER REPUBLICANS
Stand Up for Imperialism, Bryan
 and Towne.

Kansas City, July 5.-When the sil- yer republican national convention was called to order by Temporary Chairman Teller this morning the subcommittee appointed at the meeting of the com mittee on resolutions last night to draw up a platform was still far from an agreement. A recess was therefore taken until the committee was ready to report.
 There was apparently no prospect of d report from the committee on resolu- tions and an adjournment was accord ingly taken until D. m.

\ CORRESPONDENTS VIEW.

London, July 5.-The correspondent Of the Daily Mail at Shanghai, telegraph ing under date of July 5. says, says he believes that when official information comes regarding Pekin it will include news of the outraging of English wo- men and the torture of children It may almost be taken for granted, he asserts, that all the foreigners in Pekin have been wiped out.

STANDARD OIL FIRE.
A Loss of Many Millions In Hoboken
 Yesterday.

New York, July 1.-The fire at the works of the Standard Oil company at Constable Hook Bayonne. N. J., which started early today is still raging and no estimate can yet be made of the damage, though it will run into the millions. The entire plant is certain to be consumed. The oil from the works is spreading along the upper bay and serious damage is threatened adjoining property. At least one life has been lost and it is said there are many per sons missing. A stroke of lightning caused the fire.

FOR BRYAN AND TONNE.

Kansas City, July 5.-The silver re- publicans' national convention spent all of today in waiting for the report of the committee on resolutions. It was not until late this afternoon that the formal enunciation of the party's prin- ciples was in readiness to be presented to the full committee. The plank de- nouncing imperialism was finally adopted and in this shape the platform will be pres, ted to the convention to- morrow. ItAs planned to nominate both Bryan a Towne by acclamation.

TWO MEN KILLED
Duel Between Two Arizona Cattle
 men With Deadly Aim.

Tucson, July 5.-(SpeciaD.- Riley Bennett came in from San Pedro today and reports fight between two cattle men. Antonio Soso and Jose Vasquez. and both were killed. The men fought with siX-shooters. They quarreled over cattle brands. The affair is more seri- ous, owing to bad feeling which has arisen between cowboys employed by the dead ranchers. The feeling is bit ter and they are carrying on the quar- rel over the brand.

THE STORY RETOLD.

London, July 5.-The oft repeated story of the murder of all the whites in Pekin is being retold today with.a cir- cumstanciality that almost convinces those that have hitherto refused tO credit the sickening tales. The only hopeful failure Of the evil news is the fact that it comes from Chinese sources at Shanghai. But it is realized that if the eventful tragedy has not set hsaSs enacted it cannot long be delayed.

A WOLF IN SHEETS CLOTHING
Platform the Same Old Dish Served
 With New Dressing.

Kansas City, July 5.-(SpeciaD. The eliminations from the platform really amount to nothing and stripped of it's verbiage there is the old Chicago piai- form, with all it's vagaries and menaces to property rights and denunciations of methods that have made this country prosperous and great, in it's effort to emphasize it's opposition to expansion.
 The committee on resolutions made many slips. for instance, in one para graph it refers to the Filipinos as Our former allies" who were trying 60 achieve liberty and elf-government. %
 In another it deplores the seizure of distant lands whose citizens can never become citizens. Surely the people who have the stamina would not nece essarily make bad citizens. The platform is full of this kind of claptrap. The history of events since war. was declared against Spain as construed by this convention will hardly be the history taught in the common schools.
 SENSATIONAL SCENES.
 The scenes attending the presentation Of the platform were as sensational as the leaders could make them. Tillman. oi south Carolina. had been selected 10 read the document. lie has violent manners and resonant voice. and the convention could. if it had cared to, have heard every word he uttered. He said as much when some delegate inter rupted him with the remark that he could not be understood. This state ment and Tillman's manner brought about a semblance of order. Probably one-third of those in the hall heard his fervid reading of the platform and many cf these had been instructed when to apply the applause.
 Tillman employed all the arts of the professional stump speaker in his de- livery. On hearing but not seeing him one would readily believe that he was delivering d stump speech. He marched up and down the platform gesticulatins 1iercely and throwing all the emphasis possible in his first read ing of the paragraphs relating to i'm perialism and expansion. which was distinct. He effected to believe that he had not been understood and .'e- peated the clause with the deepest in tensity. While he was declaiming. thousands of small American flags were about the hall and when he had delivered himself on this point, every d9mocrat present who had been thus supplied waved a flag aSdaG1 d, while monster flag bea

, SILVER THE MAIN ISSUE
The Platform Smothers it but Bryan
 Has Spoken.

Kansas City, Mo. July 5.-(SpeciaI.)- William J. Bryan has been renominated for president on a free silver platform. which contains this plank, fresh from Bryan's own pen: We reiterate the demand of the platform of 1896 for an American financial system, made by the American people for themselves. which shall restore and maintain bimetallic price level: and as q part Of such sys- tenn the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to l. without waiting for the aid or consent oi any other nation" The silver plank was incorporated without a single change after the committee on resolu- tions had voted, 2G to 24, in favor of a sTaight-out declaration for silver. The Arizona representative on the commit tee. as might have been expected, voted as Bryan dictated, rather than as a large number of the delegates secretly wished. So did the New Mexico repre- sentatives, who stood with the conser- vativos in opinion. That this plank must be considered the chief one in the platform is evident. for Bryan prac- tically declared that the convention would have to seek another candidate than himself if his wishes regarding silver were ignored.
 BBYAN'S WHIP HAND.
 The whole country knows that the democratic leaders importuned him to change his views. Only a few days ago the wires between Kansas City and Lincoln were kept busy by the demo- cratic patriots who saw only defeat for their party if Bryan persisted in his mo- tion that everything in the platform should be subordinated to silver. Democrat after democrat joUrneyed to Lincoln to see the boss. Some of them were heralded as special friends of his. who undoubtedly would succeed in con Vincing him that the best interests of the party demanded that he recede from his position. David E. Hill was the last to make the Lincoln call. and it was conceded that if he returned to Kansas City with Eryan's promise to forego a distinct 16 to 1 declaration, he would be second only @ the dictator himself in democratic estimation One by one the patriots came back. All had been convinced that Bryan was right all except Hill, who made no secret of his disgust of the situation. To the last moment the leaders hoped that Bryan would concede at least d point, but he stood firm. q must have a IS to 1 de- claration if 1 am to run" he declared.
 HE WINS OUT.
 The committee on resolutions held | back as long as it could before making | it's report The silver clause was the | stumbling block. Finally, when the | issue could no longer be ignored, there 1 Was a test vote, and Bryan won. Therefore silver is to be the issue of the | coming campaign just as it was in 1896.
