temporary chairman His severe az
raignment Of the "entFenched enemy
drew a ripple Of applause, and as he
proceeded his well-rOunded sentences
were punctuated with generous and
hearty manifestations Of approval
Despite his strong voice, the confu-
sion in the hall became 50 great that
much Of the speech was lost 10 the
delegates and spectators
Gov Thomas proceeded boldly. and
when above the racket he was heard
70 exclaim South Africa the crowd
caught the idea that he was paying
a tribute to the Beers and a roar Of
enthusiastic approval went up There
was another cheer when the crowd
caught enough Of the reference to
the Isthmian canal to know that IL
was to be under American operation
and control
The first semblance Of genuine en-
thusiasm was created when the sec
rotary Of the convention arose and
read a resolution offered by Daniel J.
Campau, of Michigan, that the decla-
ration Of independence, drafted BY
that democrat Of democrats, Thomas
Jefferson" be read to the cOnven-
ton on this, the anniversary Of the
nations natal day With cheers and
applause the resolution was adopted,
while the band In the south gallery
played patriotic airs IN lead Of the
enthusiasm The document was read
by Charles F. Hampton, Of Michigan.
Then a dramatic scene occurred

down two men appeared upon the
platform bearing carefully in their
arms two large objects, each shrOUded
completely in the stars and stripes
They were placed, the one upon the
other, Immediately to the right and
in front Of the chairman. Delegates
and spectators eraned necks TO see
what was about to occur. Quickly
tearing aside the flags a handsome
white bust of Bryan was unveiled.
Delegates and spectators arose and
cheered wildly. When the band
struck up Dixie" the enthusiasm
grew into shriII cheers
The convention was thrown into an
uPrOar Of shouts for David B Hill at
$3.50 o'clock. Some one shouted for
Hill and instantly the whole cOnven-
ton went wild. Hill arose after a
minute, bowed and sat down The
convention went wild with shouts.
Hill bowed again, and the cheering
burst forth with added enthusiasm
1t was a tumuIt- Every effort was
made to quiet the crowd, but the
cheering still went on. Suddenly
Kisses from some of the silver men
were heard. But this was soon
drowned in the volume of applause
for the New York man. The New
Yorker refused to speak, however,
and after quiet was restored the con-
ventiOn listened to the reading Of the
various committees
At 2:19 p m the convention re-
cessed until four p. m to give com
mittees time to report

London, July Not a single for
eigner is now alive in Pekin,' is the
latest Chinese report which has
reached Shanghai Earlier reports
from the same sources describe the
condition Of the British legation Is
something awful. 1t is said that the
rooms Of the legation were filed with
sick and wounded, the killed lying
unburied in heaps It is believed that
many members and officers Of the
Tsung-Li-Yamen persisted when the
German guard, maddened by the muir
der of Baron Won Eetteler, the Ger
man minister, set fire to the building.
That the foreigners at the Chimes
capital have been abandoned to their
horrible fate seems no longer open
to doubt IN the light of the messaEs
received from Taku announcing the
decision Of the admirals regarding
the hOpeIessness Of further attempts
to relieve Pekin under the circum-
stances. The same message fore
shadows the evacuation Of Tien
Tsin BY the international forces.
pending the arrival OF a fully
equipped army. While the arrival Of
a comparatively small garrison at
Tien Tsin at a point under the protec-
ton of naval guns would relieve much
Of the anxiety, 1t is felt here that
retreat Of the troops is liable TO set
ahame the provinces at present qui-
escent.
Advices from Shanghai say that
there is continued fighting at Ten
Tsin, while the German consul at Che
Foo teIegraPhs confirming the report
Of the renewal Of hOstilities. He
says the foreign settlement at TieD
Tsin IS again surrounded and Is be
ing bOmbarded and that the women
and children are to be removed. He
adds that the Chinese troops have
again advanced against the railroad
and that the bridges have been de-
stroyed, but that communication By
water with Taku is maintained. The
consul confirms the report that the
mission buildings at BIOukden have
been burned and that many native
Christians have been killed
