and up to late hour little had been ac-
complished, either by the conference COM
mittee of the three parties, which was to
decide on the apportionment of the offices
among the three parties, or in the way
of other business before the conventions.
w. ]. Bryan and Charles A. Towne
made brief speeches at the Populist con-
vention

nearly every nomination
THE PoPULIsT.
The Populist state convention was call
ed to order this afternoon by State
Chairman Edmisten, with over 1,2O0 del
egates present. Chairman Edmisten's
opening address urged that the delegates
work in unity in the interests of the re-
form forces. His reference to w. 7.
Bryan as that noble man, that freeman
who represents the interests of common
humanity was enthusiastically cheered.
Nominations were then in order for
temporary chairman, and the radical
and conservative elements at once clash
ed. M. F. Harrington, representing the
radical element Of the party, Senator w.
V. Allen, and ex-Lieut. Gov. Harris were
nominated, but the latter withdrew.
After considerable debate, the roll call
was ordered, resulting: Allen, $50: Har-
rington, 455
Senator Harrington, on taking the
chair, made plea for harmony and con-
servatism.
A motion to make the temporary organ
ization permanent was carried
WRANGLE OVER COMMITTEES.
The convention then got into another
wrangle over the selection of the usual
committees on conference with Demo-
Gratis and Silver Republicans, the far
western counties where the middle-of-
the-road movement is strong insisting on
the election Of the committee by con-
gressional districts instead of leaving the
appointment to the chair. This motion
finally prevailed.
After the announcement of the commit
tees on platform and rules and order of
business, the six congressional districts
elected members of the conference com
mittee. The convention then took a re-
cess until p. M, pending the report of
the committee.
None of the committees were ready to
report when the Populist convention re-
assembled at $3.50 p. M, and after waiting
forty five minutes. the selection OF the
state central committee was taken up.
The convention then listened to

UP the men at work IN the hold in search
for bodies announced that they had count
ed fifteen piled UP in heap In the stew

found locked. The fire did not get near
the unfortunate fifteen, and their lives
might have been saved but for the break

windows were broken the room filed with

before them.

Great pumps were at work in the Saale
today, and by 2:2O p. m. the vessel foated.
The ship was in ten feet Of mud, and
when she finally freed herself she seemed
to jump fully two feet out of the water.
The tugs undertook to swing the stern
of the Saale towards the middle of the
bank. The mudbank on her starboard
side resisted, and after an hours tugging
the attempt was abandoned. The ship
probably will have to be towed out back

The first body was that of a woman.

The second body brought up was that
of man. In his pocket was a letter, of
which nothing could be deciphered but
the address of Herman Smith, Hoboken
saloonkeeper. 1t was in the second
cabin.
The third body was identified as that of

LONDON, July 12-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Express gives the text
Of a long edict of Prince Tuan, dated
June %, and addressed to the Chinese
ambassadors, which the Express declares
IS identical with the message from EN-
peror Kwang Hsu, mentioned by the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mali,
and with the Chinese edict published in
Washington. The Express considers that
the edict proves that the prince is not
trying to dissuade the world from the be-
lief that the worst has happened. The
edict concludes:
The anger Of the people knows no
bounds, They could not be restrained.
The task Of guarding the legations which
before was difficult, was made impossi-

Postmaster General Smith on Lead
ing Issue of Campaign.
CANTON, Ohio, July 11.-"You can saw
that we of the East are pleased with
both conventions" said Postmaster Cen
eral Smith, when asked to say something
on the political situation.
What kind Of campaign do you nm
ticipate?"
Il look for very active and very ear
nest campaign all along the line, with
much speaking. The general speaking
I don't think will commence much be-
fore the first Of September but between
now and then there will be occasional
addresses by Mr.. Roosevelt and possibly
some others.''
Along what lines do you expect the
campaign to be fought?'
Il think the contest will settle down
to virtually two issues. One of these
probably the chief one-will be the cur
rency question. The Democratic conyen-
ton has made it so. They refused to ac-
cept the verdict of four years ago. They
have proclaimed their stand for silver,
and the battle of four years ago on that
question will have to be fought over.
There is no such issue as Imperialism
That is a fiction. There can be no i'm
perialism IN a free country But the
question of upholding and strengthening
the government in dealing with the issues
growing out of the war, and in admins
tering the new people brought under our
care and protection is an important is
sue, and will figure conspecuously In the
campaign"
ITO what extent will the trust question
enter into the campaign?"
mot to a great extent. To my opinion,
that is business rather than a political
question, and the Republican party has
declared in favor of such legislation as
will correct any evils that may exist. and
control harmful combinations as clearly

NEwBURGH, N. r., July n-chair-
man B. B. odell, of the Republican state
committee, said today concerning the al
legged plot to assassinate President Nc
Klnley:
II have read the account in new York

DEMOCRATS MEET.


1t was nearly 3 o'clock when Chairman
Hall, Of the Democratic state central com
mittee, raped for order and introduced
as temporary chairman T. ]. Doyle, of
Lincoln.
Chairman Doyle made an address Of con-
siderable length. His incidental reference
to W.J.Bryan brought out the first hearty
applause Of the convention. Following
the appointment of q committee on ere
dentials and an unsuccessful effort to
take recess of an hour, W. d. Oldham,
of Lincoln, and R. 8. Bibb, of Beatrice
addressed the convention. Mr.. Bibb, four
years ago, repudiated the free silver plank
of the Democratic national convention
and supported Maj. Mckinley. His speech
served to announce his reconversion 10
the principles of the Democracy.
8. F. Fleharty, of Dawson county, also
spoke.
After waiting an hour for the committee
on credentials TO report, the convention
took a recess.
The temporary organization of the DEM

on resolutions, reported the platform. 1t
reaffirms the declarations of the national
fusion in the election of United States
senator's, members of congress and state
convention at Kansas City; recommends
officers and attorney general. pledges the
nominees of the convention to an eco
nomic administration of state affairs.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
The free Silver Republicans organized
by electing George Hlbner, of Lincoln,
temporary chairman, and then permanent
chairman, and, after appointing a COM
mittee on conference took a recess.
The storm among Silver Republicans
came when Delegate Ransom offered a
set of resolutions indorsing the withdraw
al of Charles A. Towne as vice pres.-
Dental candidate. Protests came from all
parts of the house, and the resolution
was withdrawn.
Mr.. Towne, who was present, was called
out, and In a short speech practically
announced his intention to withdraw, but
adding that he would take as prominent
part in the campaign and work as hard
for the success Of the ticket
The resolutions finally adopted the
Kansas City Silver Republican platform,
and in accordance with the action taken
at the convention, the Silver Repub lean
party of Nebraska pledges Itself for
Bryan ane Stevenson for president and
vice president.

speeches until 10 p. m.,. when the report
OF the committee on rules and order Of
business was presented and adopted.
Charles A. Towne was then introduced,
amid tremendous cheering. Mr. Towne
addressed the convention about ten min
utas, concluding with an eloquent tribute
to Adlai e. Stevenson. Just as he con-
cluded w. ]. Bryan entered the building,
and for two minutes the convention was
