Chairman George e. Hughes OF the

to him was a letter signed by Thomas p.
S. Bridgham OF BuckiIeld announcing
the resignation of that gentleman from
the state committee where he has served
for many years. Mr.. Bridgham told the
PRESS correspondent that this step was
taken because he Is ''tired Of Organism,
George Pred Williamson, Tilimanism

Mr.. Brigham, ''been a Democrat for

BOYCOTT RENEWED.
ST. Louis Folks Begin Strike
Again.

St. Louis, Mo-, July 10.-The renewal
of the strike in the St. Louis Transit
company's lines yesterday was followed
today by a r enewa1 of the general boy
cott which proved so effective just prior
to the settlement arrived at on July g.
On some Of the north and south lines pa
tronage which has been quite heavy while
thestrike was off, dropped very materially
today. The lines trayersing the central
portion of the city showed no dimun1-
ton in traffic. All the cars are running
as usual with their full equipment Of
men, the company having provided itself
with enough men to man the cars before
the agreement was signed declaring the
strike of. There is general feeling Of
displeasure among the people over tae
renewal of the trouble and the sentiment
is that it was unnecessary ana should
have been averted,
The company AYERS that the calling out
Of the strike again will not make the
slightest difference in keeping time
schedules The men, however, state that
it will make considerable difference in
the receipts of the company and express
the belief that the boycott win be strong
er than before.

IMPERIALIsM YHE SUE.

Chicago. July 10-senator Jones,
chairman Of the Democratic National
committee arrived here today with sew
eral Of his fellow committeeman. In
speaking Of the coming campaign he
said:
THE Democrats made free silver the
issue in 1886 and they viii make anti
Imperialism the issue in the coming cam
paign. The Republicans may to try to
make other questions paramount so as
to keep imperialism and trusts IN the
background, but we win not allow them
TO do so.
"WuI Mr.. Bryan make such q cam
paign as he did four years ag0Y''
My own idea is that he should not.
It IS too great task to demand of one
man that he should make as many and
such extensive trips as did Mr.. Bryan
four years ago He Will probably make
several trips covering important points
According to Senator Jones, Mr.
Bryan has under consideration the place
in which to receive the committee next
month that is to notify him of his nomi-
nation. Chicago Indianapolis, Column
bus, Ohio and New York are the places
whose claims are said to be the strongest.

WHY POWERS CONSENTED.
Japan WIN Get No New Territory for
Sending Extra Troops.

Berlin, July 1O.-The foreign office to-
day informed the Associated Press that
all the powers had consented to Japan's
landing q large force in China, but the
stipulation was made beforehand that no
powers could derive any advantage terri
torially from the fact of it's having more
troops in China than the others. The
Japanese government has expressed per-
feet Willingness to send troo ps under
those terms The foreign office further
denied the correctness of the statement
by the st. Petersburg Herold that Ger
many and Russia made q secret agree
ment last fall for common action in
China, adding:
The relations between the two govern
ments have hitherto been so friendly and
the agreement on China so complete that
treaty has been wholly unnecessary.
An official OF the foreign office stated
that the meeting Of the foreign affairs
committee of the Bundesrath, which will
be held tomorrow, will be purely for the
purpose Of informing the other German
cabinets Of the status Of the China ques-
tion and that no decision will be taken.
The North German Lloyd mali steamer
Gera has been chartered by the ministry

principles set forth in that platform
and In addition thereto presents the
party's position upon several new and
vital questions.
when the convention came to the selec-
tion Of candidate for Vice President,
there was diversity of opinion, but the
choice fell upon q distinguished Illinois
Democrat. who once discharged with
great credit the duties of the office. In
the campaign of 1896, when plutocracy
and Democracy met face to face, Adlai
II. Stevenson was an able and courage
Gus defender OF the cause of Democracy.
l know that some Of our allies felt
grieved that they were not given the
second place upon the ticket, but I am
sure that they cannot feel unkindIy to
ward one, who, like Mr., Stevenson, was
loyal to the ticket nominated at Chicago
and who is able to defend the magnifi-
cent party creed set forth at Kansas City.
In this campaign Issues are greater
than men,
'.rhe ticket deserves support because
1T stands for the declaration of indepen-
dence in dealing with the Philippines and
for the doctrine of equal rights for all
and special privileges for none III all
domestic questions"
General James B. Weaver also spoke at
some length, outlining the work to be
done by the Democratic, Silver Republi-
can and Populist parties, and appealing
for harmony for the common cause. He
also paid tribute to Mr.. Stevenson's S rec
ord in Congress.

Mr.. Lewis has never publicly announced

that he will be found fighting tne quadru-

Another reason in support OF this pre-

fact that Mr.. Hart has openly announced
that he would prevent Mr.. Lewis from OBJ
