# KANSAS C1rY, July AFTER q long
and exciting debate, during which it
looked several times as it Charles A.

president in spite of his protest against
such action, the national convention Of
the Silver Republican party adjourned

w. J. Bryan was made the unanimous

intention to complete the ticket in the
afternoon by the nomination Of former
Congressman Towne. The action Of
the Democratic convention, however,
in placing Adlai E. Stevenson in nomi-

For two hours Senator Teller, former

speeches in favor of endorsing the Dem.

Towne himself appeared and appealed
to the convention not to nominate him,
but to concentrate their forces, that the
delegates claimed down and the vice
presidential nomination was referred to
the national committee.

IN DANGER OF EXPULSION.

Fear for Safety Of International Troops At
Treaty Ports
LONDON, July 7.-The danger OF q
general revolt in China becomes more
and more patent and Europe 10 being
confronted with q rapidly increasing
fear not merely that the international
column will bo forced from Tien Tsin
but that the international troops at the
colonies and treaty ports will stand in
grave danger Of expulsion. In view OF
the fact that the previous assurances OF
the viceroys have proved untrust-
worthy, their promises Of protection for
the whites are hardly convincing. In
the meanwhile the hitherto uncon.
querable jealousies Of the European
powers stay the hands Of Japan, though
It is hoped an understanding will soon
be reached. The foreign Office here has
received official dispatches from Toxic
that in addition to the forces already
landed in China Japan has Is. 900 troops
modified and ready for action at mo-
ment's notice when she received the
mandate Of the powers. Great Britain
is now awaiting answers from the
ohancellors to it's proposals.

HELD A CONFERENCE.

Silver Republicans Endorse Stevenson.
Populists Take No Action.
KANSAS CITY. July THE confer
ence of the representatives of the three
parties developed peculiar situation in
some respects. The Democrats were
anxious for the withdrawal of Towne
from the Populist ticket and the Silver
RebssAicans said that so far as they
were concerned they would, through
their committee, nominate Stevenson
for vice president, although profoundly
disappointed that Towne was not nomi-
mated by the Democratic convention.
The Populists were not in favor Of the
withdrawal Of Towne and maintained
that the Populist national committee,
acting under instructions Of the Sioux
Falls convention, would be compelled
to put another candidate in the field if
Towne should withdraw and the COM
mittee could not withdraw him. More
than that they asserted that if Towne
should be withdrawn and they should
not place another man in his place their
organization would be endangered and
such action would result in Populists
going over to the middle of-the.road
ticket nominated in Cincinnati. This
would lessen the chances Of carrying
states in the West and inter-mountain
country.
A meeting of the Silver Republican
national committee was held immedia-
ately after the close Of the conference
and after brief discussion it was voted
unanimously to place Adlai E. Steven.
son in nomination; for vice president
and to cooperate in every way with The
o. Democratic party for the success Of tho
ticket. -"

take no action until after Mr.. Towne

The Electrical Review says that the

Having made this comforting assur.
ance it proceeds to say that the light
ming rod has no more influence over
the course Of lightning than the color
Of the paint on our houses. 1t offers
little consolation to the timid In cities
by the statement that "in places where
the population Is entirely concentrated
and the buildings are close together the
fatal results Of lightning are practical
ly nil. It is in the country districts,
where trees are abundant and houses
frequently surrounded by them, that
fatal accidents more frequently occur"
Notwithstanding The Reviews cocksure
remarks about negligible chances 1t
Is u matter of record that 81 persons
have already been killed by lightning
since Jan. l. although the season Of
fatality has hardly begun. II none of
the existing devices for protection
against lightning is Of any avail, it Is
up to the electrical experts to suggest
some which will be effective.
