KANSAS CITY'S FOURTH.
Big Convention All Ready For
 Business.
THOMAS TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.

Programme of First Days Session.
 Hill Beaten by Croker In New York
 Delegations Caucus-Stevenson Is
 BOOmed For Vice President.
 Kansas City, July 4.-With flags fly ing, bands playing, streets resplendent with the blaze of bunting and of myriads of lights and with the ear assaulted by the deafening experimentation of bombs and rockets and crackers and marching clubs and marching corps, with this con fusion of patriotism and politics, Kansas City is ushering in the national holiday and the Democratic national convention. There were crowds here Monday, but these were but the advance guard, and yesterday they came en masse, fairly engulhng the city and taking complete possession of its streets, hotels and pub lie places. With this late influx have come the Tammany braves, the Chicago Marching club and many kindred organi- cations, with their bands. And yet for some reason many of the most famous convention organizations, such as the Duckworth club of Cincinnati, are not represented here, while the Jefferson club of St. Louis and the Young Mems Louis vile club send only handful of men in- stead of their usual quota of hundreds.
 Many notable figures of the party came with the arriving delegations yesterday. With the Kentuckians came the youthful governor and successor of Goebel, Gov ernor Beckham, accompanied by the deep voiced and genial Senator Joe Black burn and by the polished ex-Governor McCreary. From South Carolina came that picturesque figure, Senator Tillman.
 Among the Tammany arrivals George B. Mcclellan, son of the great soldier and the Democratic nominee against Lin

More complete and definite returns have been received concerning the rich strike at Topokuk, 55 miles below Cape Nome. There seems no reason to doubt that this is one of the greatest strikes ever made in this vicinity, as important as the strike at Nome before. Though the discovery at Topokuk is of compara. lively recent date, many have struck it rich already, and several individual for. tunes running as high as S25,o0o have hppn taken ont

General Botha is active. His patrols cover wide stretches of country. approach near the British outposts and engage in skirmishes, while larger bodies threaten to attack, declining to allow themselves to be caught by the return blows which the British promptly seek to deliver. At tacks of this sort were made on Friday last at Pinaar's Poort on General Pole Carew and at Springs. Generals Botha and De Wet are seemingly operating in combination. Botha is reported to have divided his force into two parts, one moving west and the other to the south to try to effect junction with De Wet.

GAS STOVES TO BE USED.
Subcommittee Met Yesterday and
Formulated Plans

Formulated Plans.
There is every indication that the work
of Chairman Winston's subcommittee or
Gas Stoves will avail much, and that gas
will soon take the place Of other fuels IN
Richmond homes.
The Gas Stove Committee of the City
Council held a meeting at II o'clock yes
terday. in the Office of Mr.. c. w. Tanner,
No. 1913 East Main Street.
Alderman Wood was the only absentee,
and Chairman Winston submitted report,
which was agreed upon, and which will
be offered to the iult meeting of the Light
Committee, which will be held at the up
per Gas Works next Friday afternoon at i
O'Clock.
Mr.. Joseph N. Shelton, Gas Inspector.
was present at the meeting and
it was from information gathered by
himself and Chairman Winston on the
subject from other cities where gas is used
for fuel and from persons now using gas
in this city for this purpose, that Chair
man Winston formulated his report.
The subcommittee plan is for the city
to buy the best gas stoves obtainable, IN
such quantities as TO get them at the
smallest price and 10 sell them to the
public through dealers at prices to be
fixed b. the committee, the dealers to be
allowed a commission on sales.
The stoves SO sold to the consumer is
to be paid for on the instament plan, and
the amount due each month is to be adj
ded to the gas bill of the purchaser.
The stoves are to be installed and con-
nected free by the city-only those adopted
by the committee to be sold, hut the city
will make free connections for persons
who already have gas stoves or who buy
them elsewhere than from the city's deal
ers.
The committee will authorize the
Superintendent of the Gas-Worls to make
free connection, provided the cost of
same does not exceed that fixed by the
committee. Mr.. Winston thinks that
gas will be widely used for fue. by the
people of Richmond. and he said yester-
day that all those who were now using it
were highly pleased with the experiment.
When the foil committee meets on Fri
day, tests will be made at the numerous
stoves and ranges now on exhibition
at the uper Gas-Forls, and a lady
thoroughly familiar with the workings
of gas stoves will be in charge of the
cooking.
Chairman Winston says it is probable
that some ore may be employed to give
free lectures on the matter OF modern
gas stoves and that evrything looks
favorable for the success of the scheme,
in which this committee is so much in
terested.
