These instructions cover the case in a
way fair to yourself, fair to the Com

back is to return your certificate to the
Los Angeles National Bank within thirty
days from date, and it will be honored
by the Bank the same as check.

MORE BODIES FOUND.

Thirty-Seven People Known to Have Met
Death In McDonough Wreck.
A special from McDonough says;
Thirty-si1 mutilated bodies, many pas
sengers missing and nine escaped with
their lives, is the latest summary OF
the frightful wreck on the Macon dl-
vision of the Southern railroad near
McDonough last Saturday night.
Thirty-one bodies had been recov-
cred up to midnight Sunday night.
Three bodies were found Monday
morning-D. Y. Griffith, supervisor
W. L. Morrisette, superintendent
pumping station; J. b. Hunnicutt,
freight conductor; charred pieces OF
two other bodies.
There was still another body, max
Ing 81, that could be plainly seen IN
the water, but it was pinned down by
a large boulder.
Piece by piece the torn and disfnem'
bered engine and passenger coaches
were pulled from the abyss Monday.
One by one the bodies, lacerated,
mutilated, broken and disfgured, were
hauled from the death trap and sent
to the morgue in McDonough.
The gruesome work of clearing the
wreck and rescuing the bodies, while
the rain was falling in torrents, wat
watched by thousands of persons who
waded in water and mud to their knees
and cheered the workers on in theil
unpleasant and seemingly hopeless
task.
AS the bodies were taken from the
wreckage, they were quickly carried
in a csboose to McDcnough, where
half the town people were pressed in
to service to aid the undertakers.

M'KINLEY AND ROOSEVELT
Unanimously Nominated Standard
Bearers of Republican Party.

of the Party As McKinley's
Running Mate.

Governor Roosevelt, of New York, is
the Republican nominee for vice pres
ident of the United States. s'Teddy"
was givea the nomination without the
asking. His victory was complete. No
other name was mentioned. The con-
vention went wild for him from tho
beginning to the end.
Before order was restored after the
nomination of Mckinley, Mr.. Lodge
warned the noisy and demonstrati7e
throng that there was some vital bust
ness to be done, and announced that
the call of states would proceed for
nominations for the vice presidency.
As the name of Alabama WAS called
on the roh of states for the nomina-
tion of candidates for the vice presi-
dency the announcement was made
that Alabama would yield to Iowa to
present candidate. Chairman Lodge
then recognized Colonel LaFayett+>
Young. one of the Iowa delegates at
large, and editor of the Des Moines,
Iowa, Capital.
He withdrew the name of Dolliver
and offered that of Roosevelt. The
colonel was in Cuba at the time Roose-
Welt led his rough riders up San Juan
hill. and his reference to the COVER
nor's campaign was eloquent.

who represented their ambitions and
embodied their patriotism and Amerl-
canism was not second to that accord
ed the presidents name.
The band in the main gallery began
to play "There'll be hot time in the
old town tonight" and to the lnsplr-
ing strains the delegates began march
ing around the hall, filing past Gov
ernor Roosevelt as he sat in the New
York delegation, and extending to him
their congratulations.
Speeches seconding Roosevelt's NOM
ination were made by Murray OF Mas
sachusetts, Ashton of Washington
and Depew of New York.
Delegates and spectators were be-
coming excited and called for the vote.
They wanted action, not oratory.
The impatient audience called tor a
vote, apparently assuming that there
there would be other candidates. 1t
took some minutes to restore order.
As the roll-call proceeded, each del
egation as called, cast their votes Tor
Roosevelt unanimously.
With the conclusion OF the call
Chairman Lodge announced that Gov
eror Roosevelt had received 929 votes,
one delegate IN the convention not
voting. This delegate was Roosevelt
himself. Chairman Lodges announce
ment that Governor Roosevelt had
been nominated for vice president
brought out tremendous applause.
The candidate for vice president was
surrounded by delegates showering
congratulations on him.
The serious work of the convention
was over and the details only remain
ed to be performed. A resolution was
agreed to empowering the national
committee to fill the vacancies.o on CON-
mittees.
Resolutions of thanks to Mr.. Lodge
and Mr.. Wolcott for their able SER
vices as presiding officers were unanl-
mously adopted. Also thanks to May
or Ashbridge, of Philadelphia, for the
hospitality of the city.
This closed the work and at PA p.

of 1900 adjourned sine die.

BRYAN BREAKS
LONG SILENCE
Nebraskan Talks Of Platform
and the Yice=Presidency.
WILL REAFFIRM LDPRINCIPLES
No Modification Will Be Enter
tained, But Other Planks Will
Be Added to Document.

Hon. William J. Bryan, in an au-
thorized interview given to an Omaha
World-Herald correspondent Monday,
broke his long silence on the question
of the platform to be adopted at Kan
sas City July 4th and the candidate
for vice president.
Mr.. Bryan was asked whether he
could say anything in regard to the
platform to be adopted at Kansas City.
He replied:
"No one, of course, can say what
language will be used in setting forth
the party principles, but some idea can
be obtained as to the general tenor OF
the platform from the platforms adopt
ed in the state conventions.
''As a large majority of the dele
gates have been elected by conventions
which reafirmed the Chicago platform,
it is safe to assume that the Kansas
CITY platform will reaffirm the Chicago
platform, and will contain moth
ing which can be construed as a sur
render or modification of that plat
form on the old issues. It is equally
certain that there will be q strong and
definite plank against the trusts.
There is also no doubt that the plank
against imperialism will be clear and
explicit. Militarism will be denounced
and sympathy expressed for the Beers.
This much is evident from what has
already taken place."
You have refused to discuss the
vice presidency heretofore, Mr.. Bryan
Is there any truth in the rumor that
vice president will be chosen whose
views on the money question will be
attractive to those who opposed the
ticket in go?
''It is true that I have refused te
discuss the vice presidency" replied
Mr.. Bryan, "and I do not care to dc
SO now, further than to say that as
sumo that the candidate nominated fol
vice president will be in harmony with
the platform.
"The vice president not only preside'
over the senate while the president Il
alive, but assumes the Office of presi
dent in case of the presidents death,
and it is hardly possible that delegates
to a national convention would write
platform and then select for either
place op q ticket man who would re-
pudiate the platform. No man worthy
to be considered for such an Office
would accept a nomination upon E
platform repugnant to his views or
any important issue.
s'In every campaign men support
ticket without approving all the plat
form, but no one can defend platform
unless he believes in it. Many tariff
reform gold Democrats supported the
Republican ticket in '96, although
they dissented from the protection
plank. But the Republican conven
ton would not have nominated tariff
retormer on a protection platform
There is sometimes a ;oint debate be
tween candidates of opposing tickets
but not between candidates on th'
same ticket"

Ia EXPLANATION Of Railroad Omcial ho-
garding Fearful Wreck.
Southern railway officials who could
be induced to talk about the wreck
near MoDonough, Ca, Saturday
night, were very guarded in their
statements. They claim that the
vashout was due to no inherent weak
ness in the solidity of the roadbed or
the trestle spanning the creek into
which the train was plunged. Super
intendent Jones, of the Macon divis-
ion. on which the wreck occurred, re-
fers to the affair as zone of the newt
able acts of God.

FREE STATERS ACTIVE,
President Steyn's Forces Are Now
Engaging the Attention of
Lord Roberts Army.

A London special of Friday says:
General steyn's forces in the Orange
River colony are for the time drawing
most of the attention Of Lord Rob-
erts, rather to the neglect of Com
mandant General Louis Botha and
President Kruger.
The severance between the Trans
7aal and Orange River colony was
completed Thursday, as Lord Roberts
said it would be, by the arrival OF
General Buller's advance guard, under
Lord Dundonald, at Standerson.
The wide net aropd the 6,00O or
5000 men under General Steyn will
now contract. Adroit maneuvering
and brisk fighting are likely to take
place, because until ell resistance
south of the Vaal is at an end the
British line of communication will not
be safe.
President Kruger's sons, who sur
rendered to General Baden-Powell, are
back on their farms working peaceful
ly. General Baden.Powell rode with
only 800 men from Mafeking, and he
made the last section of this ride to
Pretoria with only thirty-fve. Lord
Roberts met him in the outskirts Of
he town ed escorted him to the
presidency.
General Dewet's farm houses have
been burned by the British.
General Butler has issued special
order eulogizing the service OF Strath-
cona's Horse.
Captain Jones and the brigade from
her majesty's ship Forte have been or
dered back to the ship at the admiral's
request.
The Netherlands Railroad Company
Of South Africa has received official
notification of the expulsion from the
rransvaal of 100 of its employees with
heir families. The Dutch consul at
Lourenzo Marques telegraphs that a
proclamation has been issued to tho
effect that the company's officials who
refuse to do British military work will
be sent back to Europe via east Lon
don, Cape Colony.
Advices from Lourenzo Marques
state that President Kruger's principal
condition for immediate peace is that
be be allowed to stay in the country.
There are $4,000 British sick and
wounded at Pretoria. Mrs. Reitz, wife
of the Transvaal state secretary, and
her family, who arrived at Lourenzo
Marques en- route for Europe, had so
little money that the Dutch consul
purchased second class steamship tick
cts for them.

At Canton, China, the boxers are

which the following is sample:
"Kill all Germans, French,
Americans and English. To have

people all foreigners should be
driven out. This end can be at

The delegates shouted themselves
hoarse, and flags and plumes waved
wildly, thousands cheering and stamp
ing their feet on the floor in demon
strating their enthusiasm.
The nominating speeches began ear
". The convention opened after 10
o'clock, and, with a few preliminaries
out of the way, the speeches began.
Chairman Lodge advanced to the
front of the platform and said:
s'Under the rules, nominations for
the Office of president of the United
States are now in orde-."
There was a momentary silence,
punctured by the announcement:
''The state Of Alabama is recog-
nized."
A tall and swarthy Alabamian stood
on his chair and by pre-arrangement
answered:
alabama yields to Ohio"
This was the signal for the recogni-
ton of Senator Foraker, who was to
make the speech re-nominating Mr..
Mckinley as the Republican candidate
for president. Then the cheers began
and wild scene ensued.
His announcement that the nomina-
tion was equal to an election in No
vember brought vociferous cheers.
Briefly, Senator Foraker averted to
the record of the president in peace
and in war as one of the most remarka-
BE in American history.
The closing words of the governor
brought another demonstration, and
for minute it seemed the convention
would 90 mad then and there, and
make two nominations instead of one.
Senator Lodge then recognized John
W. Yerkes, of Kentucky, who arose to
second the nomination on behalf OF
the south. He was followed in turn
by George knight OF the California
delegation and Senator Thurston OF
Nebraska.
During the call of states the CALLER
les were noticeably attentive and there
was demonstration among the dele
gates.
Some of the states were not content
with casting their votes for Mckinley,
but they announced the vote which
the candidates would receive in No
vember.
At the call of Hawaii te delegations
stood and cheered the announcement
of the new possession of its two votes
for Mckinley.
The tally clerks quickly made the
official summary and handed it to the
chairman. Mr.. Lodge took the paper
and advancing to the front of the
stage said:
ssThe total vote cast is $50. Nc
Kinley receives $50. It is unanimous,
and the chair declares that William
Mckinley is your nominee for the
presidency for the term beginning
March 4, 1901"
Pandemonium again broke loose ir
one swelling chorus of enthusiasm to'
the new candidate.
The huge counterfeit of an elephant
was brought into the hall. Around its
neck was entwined garlands OF flowers.
Laughter and applause were mingled
rs the great emble em was borne about
The demonstration in honor OF the
