ANXIOUS FOR
COMFORTING COOL WAVE

Everybody is suffering from the heat.
A cool spot is the hardest of anything
TO find in Wilmington, although thou
sands of people are searching for IT,.
Yesterday was said 10 be the hottest
day of the year, and the showers Of
last night were welcomed with Joy.
But they proved more than disappoint-
ing, for they cooled the air little, If
any. and general complaints were
heard to-day Of a sleepless night.
Many workmen. particularly those
in the shops, were Obliged TO quit work
yesterday and to-day, and il Is prob
ably due to the fact that few pros
trations were reported
The thermometer went above 30 de-
grees. and the humidity was great. Per-
sons visiting the usually cool parks
found no relief from the sultry and op-
pressive weather.
IL was next to impossible to sleep
in the houses last night. and many
braved the mosquitoes and slept on
front porches in chair and hammocks,
while those having no porches spent
the night in perspiratiOn and protesta-
ton. with heads as near the open win
dOWs as possible.

HILL MAKES STIRRING
6 PLEA FOR PARTY UNITY

When the demonstration had spent
itself the speeches seconding the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan were in order. Sena-
tor White spoke for California, giving
the tribute of the Pacific coast to the
Nebraska candidate. When Colorado
was reached that state yielded to Sena-
tor Hill, Of New York. The audience
had anxiously awaited the appearance
of the distinguished New Yorker. and
as he took the platform he was ac-
corded n splendid reception, the en-
tire audience rising and cheering
wildly, with the single exception of the
little group of Tammany leaders, who
sat silent throughout the cheers for
their New York associate. Mr.. Hill was
in fine voice, and his tribute TO the Ne
braskan touched a sympathetic chord
in the hearts of the audience. He pic
tured Bryan as the champion of the
plain people and of the workingman,
strong with the masses, with the farm
er and with the artisan. When Hill de-
clared with dramatic emphasis that the
candidate would have the support of
his Darty-a united party-there was
tremendous applause at the suggestion

DEMOCRATS ARE ANGRY
WITH /. IRVING HANDY

Sound Money Democrats throughout
the city, county and state are up in
arms against l.. Irving Handy because
of the stand he took as a member of
the Committee on Resolutions at the
Democratic convention. All Eastern
states favored the elimination of the
16 to plank in the Democratic plat
form. Mr. Handy daringly Haunted the
red flag in the faces of Delaware De-
mocracy and voted for the adoption of
the silver plank Had he voted against
il the vote would have been a tie, and
il is thought that the issue would have
been dropped.
The Democrats are harsh I'm their de-
nunciations of the former congressman,
and express the opinion that the lat
ter's action will cause the loss of from
500 to 900 votes for Bryan in Della
ware at the November election.
Sound Money Democrats are in IA
vor Of the proposed gold party ticket, Of
which there has been talk of forming.

London, July 6.-The story that all

with Pelxin, there is a basis for the
hope that IL is untrue.
Cautious observers at Shanghai re-
cognize that even though these reports
are rejected. events in Pel1in must be
galloping to a tragic end. Correspond
ents of The Express at Shanghai
gather details from Chinese sources,
which, pleced together, relate that
when the foreigners ammunition was
exhausted the Boxers and imperial
troops rushed the British legation and
poured into the court yard with fam
atical fury. The foreign troops were
so hopelessly outnumbered that their
fate was certain. The moment the mob
broke the court yard was converted
into shambles. Others OF the invad-
ers spread into the interior OF the
building. One correspondent adds;
1T is only left TO hope that In the
final rush OF the murderons hordes
the men of the legations had time to
slay with their own hands their women
and children. The Chinese are whisp-
ering the terrible story under their
breath Their attitude towards foreign
ers In the streets has undergone a
strange change. The demeanor OF the
better class of Chinese is one OF pity
rather than OF triumph. Even the rab-
bic In the native quarters are silent.
Something OF this eliminating
tragedy in the ghastly history Of re-
cent events in Pekin seems to pervade
the very atmosphere here and 10 com
pei belief against all our hopes. The
consuls fear that the report is too true,
and the Chinese officials do not at
tempt to seek reasons for a denial"

statement that Prince Tuan visited the
palace and offered the emperor and the
dowager empress the alternative OF

an hour. The dowager empress also
chose poison, but craftily swallowed
only a portion of what was offered her

VISITORS DAY
AT CAMP GOOD
Number Of the Soldier Boys
Made III by the In
tense Heat

Relatives and friends OF the First
Regiment. United Boys Brigade OF
America, came down from Philadelphia
yesterday to visit the boys in camp at
Bandywine Springs. The day was the
hardest on the boys that they have ex-
perienced during the existence OF Camp
Good. It was sweltering hot, and as a
result no drills were held, and the boys
were given a chance to be with their
friends. Several members of the regi-
ment were overcome by the heat and
were given medical attention by Major
S. p Gerhard the surgeon of the regi-
ment, and Miss Catherine Bird the
nurse. OF the patients Lieutenant
Clifford Gill Is in the worst condition.
IL will require several days before he
will be entirely recovered from the ef-
fects of the heat. John aVlentine, a boy
who lives near Brandywine Springs,
was kicked by a horse. He was taken
to the regiment hospital, and his injur-
les were dressed.
Captain Joseph X. Nichols was Off
Ger OF the day. and the officers OF the
guard were Lieutenant Alfred Cascaden
and Lieutenant John Hewlett After
dress parade last evening a religious
service was held under the direction
OF Chaplain Chalfant. after which
members, of Epworth NJ. E. Church
choir. of this city, sang several selec-
tions.
The camp will break tomorrow af-
ternoon.

decalogue, and over the shoulders of ev-

thrown purple robe Of sovereign citi-
zenship. How different this from the
bandit policy OF Republican imperial
ism. with its standing army and bay
onet rule of conquered provinces its gov
ernment of sullen subjects against their
will by force and fraud
With the issues now clearly drawn no
doubt remains as TO the name Of our
candidate. On that question we are a
reunited Democracy. Already worthy al
lies, differing frcn us rather in name
than faith, have shouted for our gallant
leader again. and every state and terri
tory has instructed its delegates to this
convention to vote for him here. So it
only remains for Nebraska 10 pronounce
the name that has been thundered forth
from the foot of Bunker Hill and echoed
back from Sicrras' sunset slope, and that
reverberates among the pine clad snow
capped hills of the north and rises up
from the slumberng flower scented
eavannahs of the south; and that name
is the name of William Jennings Bryan,
her best loved son.
The mention of Bryan's name was
the signal for the demonstration of the
day, and in a common purpose the
great concourse joined in tribute Of
enthusiastic devotion to the party
leader. A huge oil portrait Of Bryan,
measuring 10 feet across, was brought
down the main aisle before the dele
gates. At the same time the standards
of the state delegations were torn from
their sockets and waved on high. while
umbrellas of red, white aud blue, silk
banners of the several states, and
many handsome and unique transpar-
encies were borne about the building
amid the deafening clamor of 10000
yelling, sesticulating men and women.
All of the intensity of former demon
strations, and much more, was added
to this final tribute to the leader.

BRYAN is NOMINATED
BY ELOQUENT OLDHAM

When the call OF states began, for
the purpose of placing candidates in
nomination. Alabama yielded its place
at the head of the list to Nebraska, and
Oldham, of that state, made his way
10 the platform for the initial speech
placing Mr. Bryan in nomination for
the presidency. The orator was strong
voiced and entertaining, yet to the
waiting delegates and spectators there
was but one point to his speech, and
that was the stirring peroration which
closed with the name of William Jen-
nings Bryan. Mr. Oldham spoke in
part as follows;
There is no greater honor reserved for
a citizen Of these United states than to
become the standard bearer OF the DEM
ocratic party. IL at once enrolls his
. name on the scroll of the "immortals who
are not born TO die, and encircles him
