A TREMENDOUS SHOUT.

A tremendous shout of applause
swept through the hall. Delegate Grady,
one OF the leaders of Tammany Hall.
had already assembled the platform and,
as he stepped to the front to address
the convention applause and cheering
increased. His first sentence rang
through the great building in trumpet
tones: "On behalf of the Democracy of
New York, | present to this conven-
ton for nomination for vice president
the name of David Bennett HILL
1t was dramatic in the extreme. The
effect was electrical. His words set
the convention in frenzy of enthusi-
asm. The scene which followed was
by far the most tempestuous of the
session and the name of Hill echoed
and re-echoed through the hall Seats
were seized and were held aloft and
the convention was canopied with f1ut-
tering flags and handkerchiefs. Dele
gates and spectators cheered and the
great structure fairly shook with the
noise, when the galleries became in
fected with enthusiasm.

HILL TO THE PLATFORM.

Gov. Hill meantime had worked his
way through the surging multitude to
the platform. AS he assembled ii his
hands were eagerly grasped and he was
escorted to the seat of the permanent
chairman. He asked Mr.. Grady to

statement. but Grady declined

FAT woMAN's DEMONSTRATION

A stout woman in the northwest cor
ner of the first gallery climbed upon a
chair, holding in her left hand card
Autograph of Bryan and Towne while
with her right she waved handker-
chief vigorously.
Congressman Shafroth, of Colorado,
a Jealous supporter of the candidacy of
Towne, climbed into the gallery in an
effort to get the woman forward to
the platform, but she declined TO
come.
BY degrees the enthusiasm spread
throughout the delegations and in a
short time men were up in the States
of Washington, Wyoming, Montana and
South Dakota, but their number was
much less than that which had risen
to the name of Stevenson.
While the galleries were enthusing
over Mr.. Towne, there was an excited
little group about the chair OF ex-Sen-
ator HILL In il was Croker.

TEN TSIN, June 20, via CHEFOO,
July /, and SHANGHAI, July 5.-Those
best informed in Tien Tsin consider
the position of foreigners in Pekin as
almost hopeless. 1t is hopeless to at
tempt to force the way with the force
available. Commanders are willing to
resort to desperate means, but TO at
tempt a forced march from Tien Tsin
with the forces at hand means certain
destruction to the army, besides slaugh-
ter of the civilians left at Tien Tsin.
Enough soldiers are necessary to de-
feat the Chinese army, maintain COM
munication with the base of supplies
and guard the hospitals en- route. The
water supply is an important problem
in a country furnishing none except
rivers, the wells being poisoned.
The Chinese are committing terrible
atrocities upon the wounded. They are
mutilating all the dead which fall into
thier hands. General Tung Fuh Slang
with ten thousand OF the best discip-
lined troops in the Chinese army, Ma
homadans, are marching from the
southwest towards Pekin. The army
Whereabouts numbers fifty thousand.

CONFUSION CONTINUED.

Meanwhile the confusion continued
to be so great in the hall that even
after Chairman Richardson had recog-
Fixed Governor Thomas, Of Colorado,
TO second the nomination of Mr..
towne, not word of his speech could
be heard by either the delegates or the
people in the galleries.
Finally after Gov. Thomas had been
speaking for minute or more former
Senator White went to the stand and
In ringing voice warned the conven-
ton that If order were not restored
he would move that the galleries be
cleared.
When the State of Delaware was
called the announcement was made
that that State would yield to New
York. Then the result of the Hill
conference was apparent.

CONVENTION HALL. KANSAS
CITY, July 6.-The final day of the
Democratic national convention broke
clear and hot. The sun blazed pitt
lessly down through the same brilliant
sky that has marked every day of con-
vention week and the cloudless blue
gave no promise of relief from the in
tense heat But the grateful wind
which has saved the week from being
intolerable did not forsake the swell
tering crowds to-day. 1t blew stead

nevertheless wind. 1t swept in
Through the great windows at the south
lend of the hall, futtered the bunting
land flags and famed the vast crowd.
An hour before the convention hall
WAS opened dense crowds were packed
around the various entrances, and
hundreds more were coming on every
thoroughfare that afforded access to
the hall. Within 80 minutes after the
doors were opened the galleries were
all occupied, and still the crowds
around the entrance and in the streets
had suffered no diminution.

SULZER APPEARS.

Sulzer was the first vice presidential
candidate to appear in the hall and his
appearance seemed to excite very little
interest. He came down the aisle from
the delegates door, coat thrown open,
hat damned hard down on the back of
his head and his tall form towering
over a small Ohio delegate at his side,
across whose shoulders his arm was
carelessly thrown and into whose ear
he talked with great energy.
AT 1915 Chairman Richardson adj
yanced to the front of the platform, a
great bouquet of sweet peas in his
hand, and with a sweep of the gavel
cut on the strains of the band, slowly

work. But it was some minutes before
there was sufficient quiet for the open
ing invocation, and then the great
audience arose while Rev. Rabbi Mayer
of Kansas City delivered a prayer
breathing the sense of responsibility
resting up on the convention.
THE OPENING PRAYER.
Rabbi Henry H. Meyer offered pray
er as follows:
o, our Heavenly Father, Father too
of all mankind, thou who art nigh
unto all who call upon Thee in truth,
we invoke Thy name to-day, with the
thrill and the thrall of stirring scenes
and strong emotions upon us that we
may profess before Thee the convic-
ton of our hearts that unless Thou
art with us we labor in vain. We would
remind ourselves that Thou art arbiter
over us in life and in eternity We
thank Thee for the ways in which Thou
hast used US as the instruments of Thy
providence. We thank Thee for the
many men Thou hast raised up in lead
ership over us. o. bless them and all
those who labor for the establishment
of wise government and Just laws.
Make us TO rejoice not in the large
ness of our domain but in the spread of
truth and justice. Make us to perceive
more and more clearly our duties to-
ward those who stretch forth unto us
their helpless hands in piteous appeal
for that succor which we as common
children of Thee all father dare not
deny them.
May every good enterprise that in
vites our services find us ready to en-
roll ourselves in its cause. May we. be
free from bitterness towards those who
hold opinions that clash with ours. May
loyalty TO principle be accounted unto
us and unto all men for righteousness.
whenever the desire is manifested to
defend the right and to defy the
wrong. If intolerance shall continue
on earth let it be directed not against
the bondsmen of error and sin bat
against the falsehood and ignorance
that have overmastered them.
Thou, o Lord, hast lifted up an en-
sign to the nations from afar, and hast
called for one of them from the end
of the earth. May. it come with speed.
swiftly, not to blight but TO bless that
the partition walls of party affiliation
and racial affinities dividing men
against themselves may be leveled and
kindness rule everywhere and always
0, may there be none weary noI
stumbling among its men. We ask il
for the sake OF Thy name. Amen.

AMERICANS SAVE THE DAY.

The arrival of the Americans saved
the day, and the arrival proved com
plete surprise.
Among the evidences of immense
Chinese military preparation for war
may be mentioned that arsenals and
stores hitherto unknown have been dis
covered. About ten million dollars
worth Of arms and ammunition OF the
most modern type, have been destroy
ed, in three arsenals outside of Tien
Tsin. Several thousand troops under
Gen. Mich are holding the native city,
five miles north OF Tien Tsin. cit was
rumored that forty thousand Chinese
would attack the place at noon to-day.
The troops were under arms, but the
Chinese failed to materialiZe.

slightly recently by a spent ball which
struck him in the shoulder while In

and Commander Taussig.
The hero of Tien Tsin is James
Watts, a young Englishman, perhaps
the best rider in China, who, with three
Cossacks, ran the gauntlet to Taku with
messages for reinforcements. charging
through villages under fire repeatedly.

commended the quartette be decorated.

CONFUSION REIGNED.

Now all business was suspended as
the confusion had become so overpow-
ering that the call of the secretaries
was inaudible above the roar. The po-
lice and sergeans-at-arms struggled
vainly to dispossess the mob which
was now well nigh in control of the
floor. Men fought to retain their
places and there were many exciting
encounters, which at times threatened
TO precipitate a fight under the eyes
of the multitude. 1t took Is minutes
to restore some semblance of order,
and then the spokesman for Illinois,
Representative James Williams, pre-
sented the name of Stevenson.
Mr.. Williams spoke rapidly and
briefly and at his mention of Adlai E.
Stevenson Illinois was on its feet
cheering wildly. Kansas was up as was
Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota and a
large number of delegates in different
parts of the hall. The applause while
vigorous was short, not lasting above
a minute.

When the roll call reached Connecti-
cut that State gave way to Minnesota
amid cheers and cries Of ''Towne. ;"
L. A. Roesing, of Minnesota, then took
the platform to present the name of
Chas. A. Towne.
Mr.. Roesing is a tall, powerful man
with a voice BETTING his stalwart
frame. He could be heard in every
direction. His first applause was gain
ed when he spoke of Mr.. Towne as a
man who embodied the best character
istics of American manhood. When
he pronounced the name of Towne
there was cheering from the Minnesota
delegation, which rose to its feet, wav-
ing flags in frantic fashion. The gall
leries joined in the applause with fer
vor, but there was less enthusiasm
among the men on the floor who had
the votes.

THE EMPRESS FLED.

The empress fed to her summer pal
ace. The Mahomadans and boxers are
fighting in Pekin. Ten regiments of
Gen. Niehs command north of Tien
Tsin are reported to have deserted and
gone to pillaging the country. Resid-
ents declare that the Chinese COM
mune has been inaugurated, and that
peaceable Chinese are the greatest suf-
ferers.
The foreign soldiers are burning the
outskirts of Tien Tsin 10 deprive the
enemy of shelter. The boxers are de-
stroying outlying villages for loot.
The smoke of hundred fires can be
seen in every direction.
Tien Tsin was not bombarded to-day
for the first time in fortnight. Fam
lilies are returning 70 their homes with

dren will be sent to Taku as soon as

namen are visible in the streets. A
few OF the richest wirh their families

lection, badly frightened. Others con-
cealed in various houses shoot al the
Europeans on the streets.
