over his head and spoke slowly and
with an energy that caused his voice to
penetrate into every corner of the
hall.
'And the man is William Jennings
Bryan" he concluded, bringing his
hands lower with each word until the
last had been uttered, when he
brought them up with sweep, but
quicker than his motion was the an
swering cheer that swept across the
convention.
1t was the simultaneous roar fom all
parts of the hall. The men from Ne
braska floated large banner bearing
the likeness of Bryan. Round the hall
started the mob with huge banner
and, catching up their state emblems
each delegation took up the march,
waving flags and hats and cheering at
the top of their voices without cessa-
ton. Two woman delegates from Utah
joined in the parade, one of them car-
ryine small silk banner upon which
was inscribed: Greeting to William j.
Bryan from the democratic women of
Utah"
1t was a demonstration fully equal
in favor to any of the preceding ones.
Ii way uoG Until twenty -SeNeu ulHuteS
had elapsed that the cheering sub
sided and the convention came to order
once more.
Arkansas yielded to Texas, and Mr..
Perkins began his speech seconding
Bryan.
Ex-senator White, of California, next
got the platform. His stentorian tones
demanded attention and kept the con-
vention somewhat in order.
Result IL Announced.
AS the secretary began to call the
roll Of states on ballot for presidential
nomination, shouts of approval of a
unanimity vote seemed to increase
until the convention fairly palpitated
with enthusiasm.
The announcement by Chairman
Richardson that Bryan had been unan-
imously nominated for president of the
United States was received with great
applause, but it did not compare with
| the previous demonstrations during the
day. As the people were already leav-
! ing the hall Chairman Richardson an
| nounced at $3.50 that the convention
had adjourned until 10:3O today.

Byan and said he knew every other
democrat of prominence in the party
and stated there mas no other who had
ghost of chance of nomination, nor
had they had any chance since 1896.
Teller's eulogy of Bryan became fer
vid and the speaker alluded to him as
the Lincoln of the silver republican
party. Long continued cheering fol
lowed his nomination. Delegates stood
on their chairs and waved hats and
flags and shouted acclaims to the Ne

London, July 6.-The story that all

ed on June 80 or July appears to be
circulating simultaneously at Che Foo,
Shanghai and TienTsin, but is not con
firmed by official dispatches, and is not
traceable TO the southern vicefoys, who
are still in certain communication with
Picking, and there is basis for hope
that it is untrue. The cautious OBJ
servers at Shanghai recognize that ev-
en- tho these reports are rejected, the
events in Picking must be galloping to
