STEVENSON BOOM.

Late in the afternoon, after the action
of the New York delegation became
known, the announcement was made that
Illinois was to place Adlai E. Stevenson
In nomination, and quite little boom
was started for him among some of the
delegates. Among those who talked
earnestly for Stevenson was Henry D.
Carlton, of Alabama, who made the prin-
cipal speech opposing Towne in the
three-party conference He said Steven
son had once been elected and that he
was popular in Illinois. 1t was also said
that Massachusetts would vote for
George Fred Williams on the opening
ballot and there was a prospect of a
general ''favorite son" movement until
the convention could settle on some one
acceptable to majority.
Mr.. Croker at the three-party confer
ence said he had a candidate and he
would bring him out at the proper time.
1t was known afterwards that he referr-
ed to Lewis Nixon, Of New York, former
ly of Chicago, and a prominent ship
builder. 1t was expected he would be
presented at the New York conference
and the Kellar Endorsement was a COM
plete surprise. 1t is not thought Kellar's
candidacy is seriously considered
Another feature of the day was dele
cation canvass made by friends of
Towne. This will be undertaken for the
purpose of making a show of strength.
The canvassers found earnest supporters
in some of the delegations and obtained
assurances of votes, but not in any such
number as to give them very much en-
enlargement. At the same time Towne
intends to remain in the field and his
friends say that as each and every boom
collapses it will be demonstrated that he
is the logical candidate and the man who
should be selected
The days developments, instead Of
making the situation clearer, simply re-
suited in tangling it up more than ever
before, leaving the selection of the vice
president not to the leaders and the
managers, but to the convention.

MILES HAS A TALK
WITH MINISTER WI

Washington. July 14-Lieutenant
General Miles called at the Chinese le-
cation today and had a talk with the
Chinese minister. NJ. WI.
This aroused comment in connection
with the vague rumors afloat that Gen
eral Miles might go to China. 1t was
stated later. however, by those in posi-
ton to be thoroughly informed of Cen
eral Miles plans, that the call on Min
ister@Wu was entirely devoid of official
significance, and that General Miles
has no present purpose of going to
China.
The relations between General Miles
and Mr.. WI are friendly and personal,
so that they frequently meet and ex-
change informal greetings. 1t is stated
that General Miles has not asked for
service in China, and that such a move
would not be considered for moment
under the present circumstances. At
most the army TO be placed under for
eign commanders does not exceed 10000
men, and it is pointed out that such a
command would be quite inadequate
for a lieutenant general.
1t is appreciated. however. that the
situation may develop at any moment
so that a, large army will be required,
in which case General Miles might de-
termine to take the field in person
For the present he. is exercising care
in the preparations for getting the
American troops on the ground, the
detail of supplies. the transportation.
etc.
The diplomatic instructions of Cen
eral Chaffee, who is in immediate COM
mald Of the forces in China, are quite
apart from those of military nature.

proposition at first, and the physician

SCORES STREET CAR COMPANY
C0R0NER'S JURY RENDERS YER
DICT ON TACOMA DISASTER.
Blames Motorman For Running Too
Fast and Corporation For Neglect
ing Precautions For Safety.

Tacoma, Wash, July 1.-THE coro-
ner's jury which has been holding an
inquest over forty victims of the street
car accident on July 4, tonight render
ed a verdict charging that the accident
was caused by car No. 116 running at a
dangerously high rate of speed and
leaving the track while in charge of
Motorman F. l.. Boehm and Conductor
j. b. Calhoun.
The verdict continues: And we fur
Their find that said f. L. Boehm was
grossly careless in operating the car
by starting over a long and danger
Gus grade at an excessively high rate
o. speed. thereby Immediately losing
contrpI OF his car and failing to regain
such control by correct manipulation
OF the mechanical and electrical apDli-
shces furnished for the control of the
car.
And we further find that said Ia
coma Railway and Power company was
grossly and criminally careless and
negligent in permitting said Motorman
+. l. Boehm 10 go out on car No 11s
over said dangerous grade without anv
previous effort to ascertain his efficien
cy on said grade.
And we further find the Tacoma
Railway and Power company was
grossly and criminally negligent and
careless in maintaining said dangerous
grade without installing safety appli-
ances, when the necessity of such ap-
plianceS had been fully demonstrated
by . previous accident to a freight
train At the same point. although from
personal inspection we believe that
such safety appliances are perfectly
feasible on this grade
And we further find a general and
TeDrehensible loss and careless condi-
ton exists in the maintenance of the
track and equipment of said Tacoma
Railway and Power company that
should be corrected at once"

YES. C. E. IN SESSION.
Brilliant Scene at Opening of World s
Convention.

London, July 14.-Alexandria Palace.
rivaling in size and eonspicuousness
Madison Square Garden, and sur
mounting one of the highest spots in
all London, presented a brilliant spec
tacle tonight when 10000 members of
of the society of Christian Endeavor-
ers opened the world convention.
The night session was preceded by
an afternoon organ recital, and an i'm
mense chorus rendering familiar Chris
tan EndeavOr songs. accompanied by
one of the greatest organs in all Eng
musical service and six simultaneous
secondary services. One of the most
interesting meetings was held at AL
bert hall. Crowds overlooked everz
available space and it is safe to say
that seldom have two such religious
gatherings ever startled the lethargiC
London town.
DIR. D. Gisbon. formerly of Toronto,
now of London. welcomed the mem
bers of the society of the Christian
Endeavor, in behalf of all England
Honorary Secretary Rev. S. w Nc
Knight also made an eloquent welcom-
ing address. The responses were made
by Chaplain w. V. Tracy of Philadel-
phia. Newman Hall and Rev. w. Pat
terson of Canada. Both addresses and
responses were made in the most
cordial terms.
/ AS Father Clarke had gone to Albert
hall, General Secretary John Willis
Baer of Boston responded and prom
iSed to introduce Mrs. Clarke. Secre-
tary Baer referred to the 500 Americans
who are expected to arrive tomorrow
but who have been detained on account
of the disaster the steamer Saale
Six hundred more are also expected
later and will probably arrive on Wed
neSday.
