AS Mr.. Oldham closed there was an
answering cheer that swept across the
convention. 1t was a simultaneous
roar from all parts of the hall UI
went the delegates upon their chairs
over their heads went the flags, and
above them all scared and rang the
cheers for Bryan. The band Loyalty
performed its share, but the noise OF
its creation was but a drop in the
torrent.
The men from the state of Nebraska
flung up large banner, bearing a like
ness of Nh Bryan upon one side. and
upon the other the word Nebraska

inclosed in star of blue.
As the Nebraska women passed along
the aisle in front of the New York
delegation one of the enthusiastic
Tammany braves turned loose war

one OF the women over the head with
his small flag as token of apprecia-

Then Tammany went into real hys-

Round the hall started the Nebraska

catching up their state emblems the
other delegations took up the march

Round and round the hall went the

had subsided and the convention was

Chief among the speeches seconding
the nomination of Bryan was that of
ex-senator HILL of New York. When
Colorado was reached that state yield

anXiously awaited the appearance of
the distinguished New Yorker, and as
Hill took the platform he was accord
ed a splendid reception, the entire au-
dienco 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 Nebraskan
touched a sympathetic chord in the
hearts of the audience. Mr.. Hills
speech was in substance as follows:

THE CONVENTIONS FIRST DAY.
1t Was Devoted Mainly to Fourth OF
July Celebrations.


The first day of the convention was
devoted mainly to patriotic speeches
and demonstrations. From the time
that National Chairman Jones intro
duced Governor Thomas, of Colorado,
as temporary chairman, until the end
of the second session. held in the even
ing, there was continued iubilation.
Congressman Richardson, the perma-
nent chairman, evoked the widest en-
thusasm by his brilliant tribute to
"our matchless leader, William J.
Bryan" and the demonstration lasted
fully an hour. When bust of Bryan
was carried to the stage there was an
other season of hilarity, while Orator
Hampton waited patiently for an op-
portunity to read the Declaration of In
dependence, which was applauded as
loudly as though it had never been
heard After a sweet voiced young wo-
man from New York had sung THE
Star Spangled Banner" she turned the
strains to those of America" and in
this the monster audience Joined in
tumultuous paeon of the nations song.
The only real business of the day was
In the meeting of the committee on
resolutions, of which National Chair
man Jones was chosen chairman and
Mr.. Metcalf, of Nebraska, secretary.
Mr.. Metcalf presented a draft of the
platform favored by Bryan, and over
this the oratorical contest waged.

into the open arms of the Democracy.

faith" "asll and receive" and yet the

BOER RESOLUTION.
The Teller Measure Expressing
Sympathy Referred TO the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.

Washington, May 3O.-A house bill
permitting the construction of dam
across New river in Grayson county,
Virginia, was passed when the senate
convened Tuesday.
The Teller resolution expressing
sympathy for the Beers was then laid
before the senate, and Mr.. Bacon
(Ga.) addressed the senate.
No senator failed, he thought. to
sympathiZe with the Beers. Such
senator's. at least, as are devoted to
liberty and free government. This is
a case of two weak republics engaged
in a struggle for life with the great
est empire in the world; of a pas
toral, home-loving people, engaged in
a death struggle for the protection
OF their homes and their government;
of $4,000 or 10000 plain farmers in a
death struggle with an army of 25O,-
600 men. He could understand. how
ever, why senators, though they
might sympathize with the Beers,
might not desire TO commit the
senate to a proposition that was vio-
lative of international law.
The pending resolution was, in his
opinion, conservative, proper and not
in any way violative of international
law.
The Teller BOer resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign
relations by a vote of 40 to 90.

The democrats have taken the first
steps for the organization of the par
t. in the territory of Hawaii. The
gathering was one that filled the hall

Those who called the meeting and felt
themselves sponsors in some degree

being thoroughly pleased and graft
fled with the outlook.
4 report comes from Koonai that
in a riot among the japanese en-
ployes of a plantation two men were
killed and n number injured. The
trouble arose over the refusal of a
number Of men to join in strike for
