WATER AND LIGHT CASES.
Argued Before Judge Lochren on Thurs
day and Friday-No Decision
&.f 4 Given. E ~ II


pany against the city of Little Falls
were made before Judge VIM. Loeb
rem, OF the United States district
court, in Minneapolis: on Thursday
and Friday. F. B. Kellogg, of Davis
Kellogg & Severance, appeared for
the company, and D. T. Calhoun. Of
st. Cloud, for the city. The argu-
ments were closed Friday afternoon,
and the Judge took the case under
consideration. 1t may be that q
decision will not be made until the
return Of Attorney Severance from
New Jersey, where he WILDE engaged
for several days in. trying p case.
There is a slight misunderstanding
between the attorneys regarding a
stipulation. At the time OF the set
lement a verbal stipulation was
made between Calhoun and Sever
ance, by telephone, regarding elm
mating the bridge matter from the
case Mr.. Calhoun understands
that nothing regarding the br'dre
was to have further part in the case.
MIR. Kellogg, who was not direct
party to the stipulation, understood
that the court was not to be asked
to grant any INDUCTION regardingsthe
removal of the pipe on the bridge.
But he does not understand that the
action of the city regarding the mat
ter did not remain as q ground upon
which to obtain jurisdiction in the
Federal courts.
However, it was only one OF many
points upon which Jurisdiction Is
and both sides agree that
Mr.. Severance shall state the stipula-
ton when he returnes.
The immense amoun0 OF testimony
taken at great cost was used but
little in the case, as the city prac-
tically abandoned the claim that
service had not been good and
sufficient.
AS Calhoun expressed it: 'The city
does not admit the service was all
right, but it ia admitted that the
proves that it was"
Practically oil the points in dis
pute between the city and company
are involved in this case. Among
the matters in dispute are the rights
OF the village or city to grant fran
chises for thirty years, to make con-
tracts for water or light for thirty
years, the reasonableness OF the
terms Of the present contracts re-
prices charged, An account
ing ia asked for all the past services
of the! company. 1t ia asked that
the court declare void the ordinances
and resolutions OF the city attempt
ing to repeal or annul any OF the
franchises or contracts made by the
village or city. 1t is asked that the
city be prohibited from erecting q
W alter plant to supply itself with
water, as such an attempt would be
an impairment of the contract made
by the city to take water from the
& Water company.
The question of Jurisdiction of the
court was argued at great length by
both sides. The city's attorney
seemed to devote especial attention
to attacking the light contract, and
to show that such con-
tracts for light were unusual and I'M
reasonable. While Mr.. Calhoun
criticised the water contract. his at
tack on it as being unusual and I'M
had scarcely any sup
port in testimoney or law.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 6.-The conven-
ton is over, with Bryan. Stevenson. Jones,
Walsh, 16 to ]. ETC., In the saddle, and the
Indiana men who attended it profess to be
highly pleased with the result. Indiana
came to Kansas City with probable cam
didate for the vice presidency, and Tag
CART talked of for national chairman. She
goes home without either man having
changed his political situation. No one
who attended the convention was pulled
and hauled about as much as Shively, un-
less it was David b. Hill, and Indiana al
most subjected Shively to the same humil-
iation that overlook Hill when Tammany
placed him in nomination for Vice Presi-
dent However, when Indiana was called
in the convention to-day, there was deep
silence, and on the first and only ballot
she cast twenty-eight of her votes for Ste
venson and two for Towne. Later the en-
tire vote was cast for Stevenson. Most OF
the Indiana delegates left for home on the
trains tonight, but the big crowd that
came on the official train will leave Kan
sas City at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Although Thomas Taggart was not elected
cupy, he was almost as much in demand
as Croker, and was probably instrumental
in getting more people into the convention
hall than any other one man.
The jam and crush that has existed dur
ing the last three days in the great conven-
tion hall was transferred tonight to the
Union Depot. where the delegates gathered
in great crowds waiting for their trains.
Before the convention had actually ad-
journed many Of the delegates had left the
hall and were making a rush for the rail-
road ticket offices and to their hotels for
their luggage. The heat during the last
three days has been quite oppressive and
there was no time lost by the men who
thought they had better climate at home
in making preparations to reach what they
regard as the promised land. At o'clock
II was as much as a mans life was worth
to take plunge in the crowd surrounding
the office window in the depot where the
sleeping car tickets are sold. BY nigh.fall
nearly two-thirds of the crowd had left the
city and by noon tomorrow Kansas City
will have resumed it's normal aspect.

THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.


KANSAS CITY, July 6.-The national
committee of the Democratic party met
at the Kansas City Club after the adjourn
ment of the convention and organized. Sem
ator Jones, who was not a member of the
committee. remained outside until the pre-
liminaries were over. Thomas Taggart, of
Indiana, who has been mentioned as a
possible chairman, nominated Senator
Jones for reelection, and he received a
unanimous vote. The senator was sent for
and in accepting the Craftsmanship said
the committee entered the campaign in
much better shape than four years ago.
Then the members were all new and un-
tried in party affairs, which had been in
the hands of men who were overthrown
in the great issues dominating the 1896 con-
vention. Now they had a complete organ
ization and were ready to go ahead and
make the best fight possible. He compli-
mented the action of the convention both
as to platform and candidates.
All the other officials of the last national
committee were re-elected-Governor Stone,
of Missouri, vice chairman; c. A. Walsh,
secretary. and John 1. Martin, of Mis-
souri,, sergeant-at-arms.
The matter of selecting the executive
committee was left to Chairman Jones.
who will make the appointments after he
has had time for consideration. 1t is un-
oerstood that many of the members of the
last committee will be chosen. A commit
tee, consisting OF Tillman, johnson of
Kansas. Williams of Massachusetts,, Os-
borne OF Wyoming. and Wilson. of Idaho,
was appointed to confer with representa-
tives of the Populists and Silver Repub-
lican parties as TO the best plan of CAM
paign.
The contests for national committeeman
from the District of Columbia and Indian
and Oklahoma Territories were referred
to a committee consisting of Jones of Ar
kansas. Blanchard of Louisiana. Stone of
Missouri, Taggart of Indiana, Calm of
Illinois. and Ryan of Wisconsin. They Will
not take up the contests until there is an
opportunity TO make thorough investiga-
ton of the cases and ascertain what the
Democrats of the District and the Terri
tories desire.

SCENES IN THE HALL.
Neither Police Nor Sergeant-at-Arms
Able to Control the Crowd.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July 6.-The final
day of the Democratic national conven-
ton broke clear and hot. The sun blazed
pitilessly down through the same brilliant
sky that mas marked every day of conven-
ton week and the cloudless blue sky gave
no promise of relief from the intense heat,
but the grateful wind which has saved the
week from being intolerable did not for
sake the sweltering crowds to-day. 1t blew
steadily from the southwest, hot. Ii is true,
from its passage over the plains. but never
theless a wind. 1t swept in through the
great windows at the south end OF the
hall. fluttered the bunting and flags and
tanned the vast crowd.
An hour before the convention hall was
opened dense crowds were packed around
the various entrances. and hundreds more
were coming on every thoroughfare that
afforded access TO the hall. About thirty
minutes after the doors were opened the
galleries were all occupied and still the
crowds around the entrance and in the
streets had suffered no diminution. Yester-
day the hall was densely packed that
IL was at times impossible TO move around
en- the floor. one fourth of the delegates
were unable to see the chairman and three
fourths of them could hear nothing ut
tered from the platform The aisles were
choked up to a degree that was danger
Gus and passage through them was at all
times difficult and late in the evening i'm
possible. This morning the police and SER
ceants-at-arms started in with great vigor
10 prevent any repetition of the disagree
able features of yesterdays second ses-
sion and for a considerable time with sue
cess. but they were gradually overwhelmed
and made comparatively helpless by the
heavy crowds that were allowed to pass
by the gatekeepers. The crowd. however.
was not as terrific as that of last night

BRYAN Is PLEASED.
He Says Stevenson Will Make an Ex-
ceIlent Running Mate.

LINCOLN, Neb.. July 6-Mr. Bryan re-
iterated to-day that he was unable to out
line his programme for the coming CAM
paign. He could not say when a confer
ence with the national committee would
be held in regard to the matter. Mr.. Bryan
had a number of callers to-day, all COM
ing to extend congratulations and express
qualification over his nomination. There
was more real interest locally in the out
come of the struggle for second place on
the ticket than in Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton. When the bulletins came announc-
ing the selection of Hon. Adlai Stevenson
Mr.. Bryan expressed his pleasure and soon
after dictated the following: "Mr. Stew
enson is an excellent man for the place.
He supported the ticket in 1896 and can
defend the platform of 1900. Towne would
have strengthened the ticket in the States
where there is fusion between the Demo-
Gratis, Populists and Silver Republicans,
but the support given Mr.. Stevenson shows
the convention thought Mr.. Stevenson the
more available man. The choice has fall
en- on one who is in every respect worthy
of the position
Mr.. Bryan then sent the following tele-
gram TO Mr.. Stevenson, thinking he was
at home. in Bloomington. ILL.,: Accept con-
gratulations upon your nomination. 1t was
deserved recognition of party services"
All through the day kilograms of con-
graduation poured in. Among them were
messages from o. II. p. Belmont, w. r.
Hearst. Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, N.
Y. and representatives of colored Demo-
cratic leagues. Among Mr.. Bryan's morn
ing callers were H. B. Paul and ]. 8.
Smith. of New Jersey, who came from
Kansas City this morning They told him
the Democrats were hopeful of carrying
that State for him and they believed New
York without doubt would be Democratic.
Mr.. Bryan definitely decided not to go
TO Kansas City to-day after he had con-
ferred by telephone with members of the
national committee at Kansas City.
Mr.. Bryan received the following tele-
gram this evening from Mr. Stevenson,
who is at Minnetonka Beach, Mimi: SAC
cept my congratulations on your unani-
nous nomination.
Mr.. Bryan said he expected a number
of visitors prominent in the councils OF the
Democratic party tomorrow and next
week. He would not specify who they were
People in Lincoln are predicting a crowd

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July 6.-The Demo-
cratic national ticket was completed to-
day by the nomination of Adlai E. Stew
enson for Vice President. The nomination
was made on the first ballot State after
State joining in the wild scramble to record
their support for the winning candidate.
1t was not accompanied by any such fran
tic demonstration of approval as had
marked the proceedings at previous stages,
although the result followed a spirited and
at times highly dramatic contest between
the advocates of Stevenson, Towne, Hill
and the lesser candidates. The distinct
triumph of the day in the way of a popu-
lar ovation was that accorded to Senator
Hill, and in its spontaneity and enthusiasm
Il was one of the most notable features
the convention has produced. 1t was ac-
companied, too. by a remarkable scene
when Hill earnestly protested to his friends
against being placed in nomination, and
then. finding his protest In vain. he strobe
TO the platform and in tones which left no
doubt of his sincerity, earnestly besought
the convention not to make him the nom
inee.
The proceedings to-day moved with
ing days. for there was none of the tedious
waits for platform and committee reports
The aspect OF the vast auditorium was
truly Democratic when the session be-
gan Anticipating the close of the conven-
tion. the general public was admitted free

Of the hall, not only filing every available
seat in the area and aisles. but also over
flowing into the arena reserved for dele
gates. while some more adventursome in
dividuals scaled the iron girders and looked
down from dizzy height on the thirty
thousand people packed below The crowd
practically took possession OF the proceed-
ings and at times the chairman and his
officials were sc powerless to proceed that
they gave up TO the multitude until the
various demonstrations spent themselves.
