NOT LIKE ROOSEVELT.
Hill Says He Will Not Run and
That He Means It.

Kansas City, July 6-There was some
what of a, haze about the vice presiden-
tial situation even when the convention
was ready to meet this morning. Mr..
Stevenson seemed to have the largest
following, with Mr.. Towne next. Eliot
Danforth's falling had become very
much larger than that of Mr.. Kellar OF
New York and his friends were debat-
ing at 1890 o'clock the ACCESSIBILITY of
having his name put in nomination to
demonstrate to Mr.. Croker that the
New Yorker not selected by Tammany
was the stronger. Senator Hill was a
little averse to the proposition. He
smiled as he said: I'm for harmony.
If Mr.. Danforth could go on the ticket
would be for him, but have no desire
to use his name merely to demonstrate
Tammany's weakness"
Your own name is being mentioned"
was told him.
II am not a candidate and I say
that in no Rooseveltian sense I will
not go the ticket. / don't think my
friends will force me. Tt is my impress
sion that Mr.. Stevenson will get the
nomination and thus complete good
ticket. OF course vote with New York
as unit for Kellar, but I'm really in
favor of Stevenson
r. L. Metcalfe, of the Nebraska dele
cation, says emphatically that Mr..
Bryan has given no intimation to him
or the members of the Nebraska dele
cation as to any choice for vice presi-
dent. The Nebraska delegation met
this morning and it was found that six
votes were being cast for Stevenson
and the others scattered among the va
rious candidates.
1t was the opinion of Mr.. Metcalfe
that Mr.. Stevenson would be nominated.
This opinion was also expressed by
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Chairman
Richardson and other leaders who had
been consulted.
Congressman Su1zer who, up to the
time that his own delegation took up a
new man had been aggressive candi-
date, agreed with his friends that his
name should not be presented to the

REVIVAL OF STEEL TRADE
Leading officers of Largest Companies
Say Prices Must Go No Lower.

New York, July 6.-The presence in
this city this week of leading officers
of some of the largest steel companies,
coupled with a sharp advance yesterday
in the prices of steel stocks has led
Wall street to believe that important
action looking to the betterment of the
trades condition is in contemplation.
That this belief is well founded is shown
in the following statement made by a
director of one of the companies in
tereSted:
1.-THE steel and iron situation has now
practically touchGl rock bottom and
at any rate will have reached it before
the end of this week. Conferences have
been held and others are to be held at
the office of President Gary of the fed
eral Steel company between represen-
tatives of all the important steel in
terests, among them the federal steel
company, the American Steel and Wire
company the Carnegie company, the
National Steel company, the Lacka-
wanna Steel company and the Mary
land Steel company, and the result Of
those conferences will be the end of
the existing Generalization. / expect
that lower prices will be fixed for Bes-
semer pig iron and steel billets, but af
ter that there will be no further cut
ting. In fact, this will be the last time
such a state of decentralization can ex-
ist in the steel and iron trade. The re-
suit of the conferences will be the
establishment of harmonious relations
among all the steel companies.

UNWARRANTED FRIGHT.
Caused by the Failure of Hamburg
House.

New York, July 6.-Despite the nature
of the press dispatches from Berlin, sup
plemented after the close of business in
Wall street by the reported failure of
Alexander John & Co. of Hamburg, in
ternationa1 houses in this city generally
expressed the belief that the German
situation had been Inagnified. Houses
with extensive German connections said
that the declines reported from Berlin
were generally in stocks of a highly
speculative character, while the recess
sions in Chinese funds We're but natural
1t was pointed out by member of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co, that the situation
could not be acute, for the German
money markets had declined sharply
during the day. The market rate at
Berlin declined " per cent and at
Frankfort ZIG per cent. Such condi-
ton was not likely if a serious none
tary disturbance was in progress.
Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co. said
they did not believe that there was any
foundation for the sensational reports
that have reached thisc ity from Ber-
lin.
President James Stil1man of the Ma
tional City bank said that his advices
were to the effect that the situation in
Berlin had been greatly magnified.

KANSAS PoPULISTS.
Immensely Pleased With the Work
of Democratic Convention.

Kansas City, July 6.-When Senator
Ben Tillman appeared at the door of the
Populist headquarters, shaded his good
eye with his hand and surveyed the as
sembled Populists, somebody said:
Here comes Tillman." And the shout
that went up was tremendous one.
The statesman who came into fame
with pitchfork was given an enthus-
iastic reception. There was a careless
saunter in the way he entered the hall
that appealed strangely to the Populist
idea of what a leader of the common
people should be.
Isn't that George Fred Williams?'
said somebody who saw a most anna
BILE and cultured looking gentleman at
the door.
That's him." said Jerry Simpson as
he climbed over a dozen rows of chairs
to greet the one Yankee that has a
large and warm place IN every western
Populist heart. Mr.. Williams was intro
duced all around so rapidly that he was
soon so tangled up in network of
handshakes that he had no idea as to
what face the hand he shook belonged.
He is a good western mixer and inside
of two minutes Populists who neveE
saw him before were calling him
Brother Williams"
There was delay of one hour before
the conference committees went into
executive session, during which time the
crowd sat in a circle around Ben Till
man and held a sort of combination love
feast and experience meeting.
Captain Joe Waters of Kansas said:

Charles Towne and nominate him Pop

And so is the Silver Republican or
