CASE OF THE ICE TRUST.
A Stay Granted Pending an Appeal of
the Combtne

Albany, July 3.-Attorney- General
Davies was notified by telephone late
this afternoon that Justice Kellogg of
the Third Appellate division, sitting in
chambers at Plattsburgh, had granted
a stay pending an appeal by the Amer
lean Ice company from the decision of
Justice Alden Chester. refusing to
make permanent the prohibitery writs
to restrain Referee Nussbaum from ex-
amining the officers of that company.
This ties up the proceedings before the
referee.
Attorney General Davies was very
wroth when notified that a stay had
been secured. TO the Associated Press
correspondent he said: while I have
not seen a copy Of the order as yet, just
as soon as it is received I shall begin
proceedings to have 1t vacated. We
will exhaust every remedy at our COM

STATEMENT IN THE COMMONS.
Three Chinese Arsennls Burned-Hope
Tint japan Wtn Act.

London, July 3.-The parliamentary
secretary of the foreign office, William
st. John Brodrick, replying to question
in the house of commons to-day, said
he was able to add but little to the
previous informa ton about China. He
remarked, however, that a telegram
had been received from the British con-
sui at Tien Tsin, dated June 2S, saying
the allied forces had burned three ar
senals with an immense quantity of
stores powder and ammunition.
William Pritchard Morgan, liberal,
(who has large concessions in China),
moved an adjournment with the view
of debating the situation. He urged
that the government should be more
energetic in taking steps to rescue the
legations at Pekin and claimed it should
insist that Lii Hung Chang be appoint
ed regent.
John Dillon, Irish nationalist, said he
wanted TO know if America was acting
in concert with the other powers at
Taku.
Mr.. Brodrick, in a general reply to
previous speakers, referred to the in
tense anxiety concerning the fate of
the legations but, he insisted that it
was useless at the present moment to
attempt to draw he government into
discussion of its policy. The govern

uncertainty. The suggestion that Ii

HILL IND CROKER CLASH.
KcIlnr Endorsed for Vice President
Some Scheme on Foot.

| KcIlar Endorsed for Vice Presldent-
Some Scheme ON Foot.
| Kansas City, July 3.-The New York
state delegation furnished the sensation
of the day when after a stormy session
of three hours they put forth candi-
date for vice president In the person of
John W. Kelar, commissioner Of char
ities Of the city of New York. This
was done after David B. Hill had been
defeated as a candidate for the New
York representative on the committee
on platform by Augustus Van Wyck
and having been offered New York $
Endorsement for vice president had de-
clined it.
There are those in the delegation who
believe that the delegation leaders are
playing the same game that was played
by the republican delegates in Phila-
delphia when they indorsed Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff, and that the name
of Kellar is presented to keep the dele
gates from voting for any other New
Yorker until they can vote either for
Towne or for Sulzer. Mr.. Sulzer with
drew in favor Of Mr.. Kellar and in fact
seconded the nomination., which lends
some color to this surmise
All through the controversy the ex-
governor sat quietly. Then he arose
slowly, and, facing Richard Croker.
who sat in the rear Of the room, said
slowly and distinctly: There have been
ssaid some things that have seemed to
be reflections upon my attitude in 1896.
1t should be remembered in passing
such criticisms that have always been
consistently democratic. No man has
a right to question my democracy"
At this Mr.. Croker rose, saying in
what was evidently intended to be a
pacific tone: II don't think anybody
intended to criticise your democracy,
but it Is believed that as you We're
strongly against the silver plank a new
man would be more acceptable" And
then Mr. Croker aroused Mr.. Hill by
adding: "And there is no reason why
you should think that the position is
reserved for you every year.
"No, / have no such idea," answered
Hill, shaking his finger at Croker; "but
| want you to remember that what
did and what I said in the committee
and in the convention of 1896 was done
for the democrats of New York state,
and when I went home / stood for the
ticket as well as you did,
"Oh, no you didn't" exclaimed Mr..
Croker. you were not heard of much
during that campaign"
Equally as much as you are when at
critical times in the party's history in
the state you are living in Europe re-
torted Hill.
"You are sore" replied Croker, sem
tentiously.
IT accuse you,' exclaimed Hill, "of
trying to make me vice presidential
candidate against my WILL I tell you
now that will not have it, You can't
me on one proposition and
feed me a sop on another"
He sat down and a vote was taken,
resulting for Van Wyck 40, for Fill 26,
absent or not voting 6.
Senator Hill upon the announcement
of the vote Immediately left the room.

FIGHT OVER PLATFORM
A Sudden Shift of Sentiment
Against a Specific 16
to I Declaration.
A MOVEMENT AGAINST IT
MANY DELEGATIONS TAKE FORM
Al ACTION ON THE MATTER,
Tri-Pnrty Conference Decides for n
FREQ Coinage P1ank-IIiIl and Croker
Clnsh-KeIIar Endorsed by New York
Delegation for Second PIRce-Croker,
However, snys He Has Another Man
of the Convention.

Kansas City, July 3.-The most re-
markable feature Of the situation is the
sudden shift of sentiment since yester-
day, when the dominating influence OF
Mr.. Bryan was everywhere manifest
whereas to-day many delegations took
formal action against a specific l6 to l
declaration, which is supposed to be Mr..
Bryan's sine qua non. The movement
took form early in the day among some
of the most influential men OF the par
ty not through any spirit OF opposl-
ton to Mr.. Bryan but because they be-
lieved the overwhelming sense of the
delegates was favorable to simple re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform
without a specific declaration for 16 to
1. That is a conservative instead OF
radical financial platform.
The force of the movement began TO
make itself apparent as the day ad-
vanced. Ohio led off, and after short
fight Overwhelmingly instructed its rep
resentative on the platform committee,
Judge Chapman, to work for simple
reaftilmation of the Chicago platform,
without d specific 16 to ! declaration.
This decision was made in the face OF a
protest by Tom Johnson that it was op-
posed to Bryan's well known wishes
The Florida caucus followed by in
structing its platform member, 1r. Glib
bons, to oppose a specific plank of l6 70
l. At the West Virginia caucus the
same sentiment was manifested on the
ground that they would give fighting
chance to West Virginia. The Georgia
and Rhode Island delegates expressed a
like tendency. The Wisconsin delega-
ton in caucus discussed similar action.
The Michigan delegation also came out
fora simple reatIirmation, and aside from
these formal proceedings against the 16
to / specific declaration, it is under
stood that Pennsylvania, Indiana, IL
linois, part of New York. and other in
fluential delegations share the senti-
ment for a conservative" as against
radical platform.
The tri-party conference between the
leaders of theNdemocrats, pipulists and
silver republicans resulted practically
in Il decision to Incorporate specific
declaration for the free coinage of sill
vcr at the ratio of 16 to 1 in the demo-
cratic platform. No agreement was
reached in the vice presidency
Late tonight after quite a careful
canvas of the men selected for the COM
mittee on resolutions, it was asserted
that there was a majority against max
ing a specific declaration against 16 to
l. 1t was also said that the majority,
if such 1t was, would not press the
matter, owing to the opposition of Sem
ator Jones. The attitude of Mr.. Bryan
is thought to be sufficient for Senator
Jones. who is member of the commit
tee on resolutions, and will be in po-
sition to exert a great deal of influence.
Senator Tones, when he first arrived,
thought a reaf1irmation of the Chicago
platform was sufficient.

Washington, July "a cable dispatch
received at the navy department from
Lieutenant Albert A. Key, dated at
Toxic last night, says the Russian dock
at Port Arthur is too small for the Ore
gon to enter. The dispatch conveys the
first news that Key is not at Pekin,
where he was naval attache.
The text of Lieutenant Keys dispatch
is as follows;
"Tokio, July 8.
Secretary Of Navy, Washington:
Port Arthur too small If Oregon
cannot dock at Nagasaki, Japanese
navy department tenders use of other
docks. Has ordered Akitisushima from
Che Foo to the Oregon. Have cabled
Wilde offer of docks
Signed: "Key"
The naval officials are disappointed
at the statement that the Oregon can
not be docked at Port Arthur as that
from where she struck Nagasaki is SEQ
miles distant, but can be reached by
Oregon without venturing too far out
side of the tolerably smooth waters of
the Gulf Of Pc Chi L. If the docks
there are too small then she must push
on to the Yokoksuka docks. These are
located just below Yokohama in the
harbor. Kure docks are supposed to
be the Kobe docks. The difficulty in the
case of the Oregon is that she is fitted
with bilge and locking keels, making
her very broad across section at the
bottom, and consequently unsuited to
even large docks of the ordinary con-
struction.
