during the day, but Shiveley distinctly
stated last evening he was not candl-
date and would not be. The demon
stration made over Hill in the conven-
ton yesterday was taken by some to
mean the convention would be STAN
peded for him, but Hill does not think
so. He says emphatically he will not
be nominated. Both Towne and Sulzer
are in the race though the convention
does not seem inclined to favor them.
The Towne men claim they have the
support of Bryan and that if 16 to is
put in the platform their man will be
the logical candidate. New York men
say their action for John w. Kellar is
in earnest and that they will try to Sc
cure his nomination. Last night the
vice presidency was in doubt but lean
ing towards Stevenson.

MANY ENGAGEMENTS
Flynn and Fitzgerald TO Serve Long
Terms.

Milwaukee, July 3.-The federal au-
thorities deny the story sent out from
Deerfeld that they intend surrendering
Dad Flynn and Lefty Fitzgerald, the
two celebrated safebloWers and post
office robbers, to the state authorities
at that place. If the Deerfield author
tiles want the two men they will have
to wait until Uncle Sam has avenged
the robbery of the Berlin postofice and
numerous other offices.
Postal Inspector Bird says the Deer
field authorities simply came to Mil
waukee and identified Flynn and Fitz-
gerald as the two men that are sus-
pected Of robbing the bank of Deerfeld.
In this raid the Deerfeld authorities
claim the robbers secured more than
$4,000 But $500 OF the amount was re
covered, that being found near the fair
grounds at Waukesha. The govern
ment has a strong case against the two
men, the postal inspector says, and he
is confident not only of securing their
conviction of the charge Of robbing the
Berlin Office, but of participating in
several other raids en- postoflices liz
Wisconsin and Illinois.
At the same time the state author
tiles at Deerfeld say there is little
doubt that the two men were members
of the gang that looted the Deerfield

descent down ApeXa hill. Here the
car became unmanageable and dashed
toward the foot of the incline with
frightful speed. Several passengers
jumped and succeeded in reaching the
ground in safety, but others were un-,
able to escape from the tightly packed
car and took the leap to the bottom OF
the deep gulch. An agonizing scene
followed. There was help at hand at
once and the victims were drawn care
fully to the top of the gulch and their
wounds attended to as fast as physi-
clans could. Every doctor in the city
was called in and the Fanny Paddock
and st. Joseph hospitals were soon
crowded with patients.
West Virginia Horror.
Parkersburg, w. Va, July 5.-The
most horrible calamity this city ever
witnessed occurred yesterday in which
five men were blown to atoms and
three others fatally injured. The dead
are J. Fl. Hamilton, general superin-
tendent of the Ohio River railroad; e.
Lalime, master mechanic; Chas. Mob
Ter, yard master; G. O. Shannon, train
dispatcher; Bradley Reeves, freight
brakeman; Geo. Chalk, fireman. The
injured are jim Ruth, fireman; Will
Carr, Jr, engineer; P. B. Dickinson,
fireman; John Ruth, fireman; Chas.
Smith, fireman; J. C. Cheuvront, en-
gineer; T. J. Stafford, yardmaster; Jim
Bayland, yard conductor; e. ID. Kelley,
yard brakeman; George Huff, fireman;
Geo. Coleman, roundhouse foreman; E.
t. Hull, wrecking foreman; Geo. Brad
ford, fireman. About forty other spec
tators and children were slightly in
jured. A fast freight train ran into
an open switch and collided with a
tank car containing 5000 gallons of oil.
The oil ignited and burned with ter
rife intensity. Then an explosion oc-
Cured, caused by the fire igniting with
gas formed from the burning oil. The
tank went flying through space in two
directions. Those killed were struck
by the flying end of the tank. A
hundred or more persons standing near
the car were deluged with falling oil
but not seriously injured. Many bodies
were blown out into the cornield and
all were frightfully mangled Small
fragments of human bodies were
picked up which had been scattered all
over the adjacent ground.

Kansas City, July 5.-The committee
on resolutions elected Senator Jones OF
Arkansas chairman and Mr.. Metcalf of
Nebraska secretary. Mr.. Metcalf pre-
scented a draft Of platform, covering
all questions of public interest which
draft all members accepted as Bryan's
expression. Mr.. Girard of Georgia
also presented a platform as did Mr..
Van Wyck of New York. All these
documents took practically the same
ground upon all questions except that
of finances. Metcalf's declaration was
for the re-affirmation of the Chicago
platform in letter and spirit and it en-
phasized and reiterated specifically the
declaration for the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1. Both
other drafts simply reafirmed the Chi
cago platform without reference to the
ratio. Many speeches were made.
Van Wyck led off with a brief state
ment saying that while in his platform
he had referred to four issues as prom
inent, namely those of Imperialism,
militarism, trusts and finances, he con-
sidered only three of these were Of cur
rent consequence, believing the money
question had been crowded into the
background by other subjects which
had pressed to the front during the
past four years. Senator Daniel OF
Virginia, somewhat to the surprise OF
some members of the committee, fol-
lowed Van Wyck in support Of his
view. Fitzgerald Of Colorado followed
in warm speech denouncing in most
emphatic language any effort to mini
mize the financial question. He de-
clared it was essential there should be
g declaration for a ratio in clear UNI
mistakable terms asserting if such
declaration were not made even Colo
RADIO could be counted as a doubtful
state. George Fred. Williams of Mas
sachusetts also made spirited argu-
ment for a specific declaration on the
question of ratio. He was followed
by Daily of New Jersey, who made a
plea for conservatism and for conces-
sions to the moderate wing of the
party
The committee then took a recess I'M
til 8. It had become evident to all
present it would be impossible to con-
clude the resolutions in time for pres
entation to the convention upon reas-
sembling at $3.50. Upon all questions
other than that pertaining to finances
the three platforms presented were
practically the same except that Van

the document which, 124 years ago,
made America free. Quickly following
this came another outburst as young
woman from New York mounted the
platform and in clear soprano voice
sang the Star Spangled Banner. Deaf
ening cheers greeted the song. Then
came great calls for Hill.
Hill acknowledged the tremendous
ovation but made no speech. Routine
proceedings were quickly disposed OF.
With the committees appointed there
was nothing to do but await their re-
ports, and the convention took recess
until A. At the committees were not
yet ready to report and another ad-
fournment was taken until $3.50. 1t re-
NAMED for the night session to bring
the most remarkable demonstration OF
the entire day. When Permanent
Chairman Richardson paid a glowing
tribute to William j. Bryan pande-
monium broke loose and the historic
scene of Bryan's nomination at Chicago
was repeated and even exceeded, in a
frenzied demonstration lasting half an
hour. Out of the formal proceedings
of the day interest centered in the ac-
ton of the platform committee. AS
evening advanced it became known a
determined struggle was in progress,
involving not only the question of in
cooperating a specific Is to l plank in
the party declaration, but to some ex-
tent involving tue desires of the pros
pective nominee as to the terms of the
platform. The outcome is awaited with
absorbing interest as the chief develop
ment of today.
BY 4:30, about half of the various
delegations we're in their seats and the
band was pounding out ragtime to en-
terrain the great crowd. When partial
order was finally restored, Chas. S.
Hampton of Petoskey, Mich, read a

Wyck's draft did not cover so many
questions as did the other two. Met
calf's copy, after reaff1rming the Chi
cago platform referring especially to
the ratio in the coinage of the metals,
denounces trusts in drastic language
and in the same connection refers to
the protective tariff as one of the prin-
cipal supporters of the trust system.
1t also condemns the alleged tendency
of the present republican administra
ton towards imperialism and the in
crease of the standing army.
Sympathy expressed for the beers
in their struggle with Great
Britain and the president is condemned
for his FAILURE to take decisive steps
looking toward the manifestation of
sympathy by the American people with
the people of the Transvaal. The as
sertion is made it is evident to all
men that a secret alliance exists be-
tween the Mckinley administration
and the British government and this
alliance is denounced as revolving and
repulsive to all liberty people.
The platform also takes a positive po-
sition on the Philippine question,
pronouncing in favor OF the policy of
looking to the granting of liberty and
home government to the natives OF the
Pacific archipelago. Planks were sug-
gested covering the questions of Chi
nese immigration, good roads, reclama-
ton of arid lands of the west, free
homes, equal suffrage for women, etc.

Washington, D. c., July 3.-The fol-

tude 20 degrees 40 minutes east longi-
tude. Have sent to her assistance three

BoTHA WORRIES THE BRITISH.
Boer Leaders Make Capital of Chinese
Troubles.

London, July Seen. Botha is show
ing increased activity. His patrols
cover wide stretches of country, ap-
proach near the British outposts and
engage in skirmishes, while larger
bodies threaten to attack, declining to
allow themselves to be caught by the
return blows which the British propmt-
ly seek to deliver.
Attacks of this sort were made on
Friday last at Pinaars Poort on Gen.
Pole-Carew and at Springs Gems. Bo-
tina and Dewet are seemingly operating
in combination. Botha is reported to
have divided his force into two parts,
one moving west and the other to the
south to try to effect a juncture with
Dewet. Boer circulars are out exag-
gerating the Chinese troubles and urg-
ing the burghers to rejoin the army.

Kansas City, July 5.-Amid scenes
of tumuItuous enthusiasm BETTING the
event and day, the democratic national
convention began it's sessions yester-
day. But after sitting until late hour
last night, the expected climax OF the
dav. the nomination of William j.
Brvan. as candidate for president,
failed. AS a spectacular event, now
ever. the convention has fulfilled the
hopes Of the most fervid party men, for
the vast assemDlage of delegates and
spectators was twice swept with
whirIwind of demonstrations, first Tor
the leader who is about to be placed IN
nomination, and then for that other
champion of democracy, David b. Hill.
But in actual accomplishment the day
work was confined to organization with
the speech of Temporary Chairman Jas.
D. Richardson, and the appointment or
various committees. The early pro-
ceedings Of the convention were
marked by two brilliant but rather ILL,
timed speeches, one of welcome from
the mayor of the city, the other from
Gov. Thomas of Colorado, on assuming
the duties of temporary chairman. The
first dramatic episode occurred after
Mr.. Campau of Michigan had secured
the adoption of a resolution for the
reading of the declaration Of independ-
ence. AS the reading was about to
begin, two attendants pushed up TO
the platform bearing a pedestal and
bust both draped in the stars and
stripes. AS the orator raised his voice
for the first words of the immortal
instrument the draperies were thrown
back, disclosing splendid head OF
Bryan. The effect was electrical upon
the vast assemblage and a yell went
up which fairly shook the steel girders
above, while the band broke out with
the national anthem. At last the up
roar quoted and Orator Hampton read

Mrs. Miles is tall and striking looking.
She has way about her that makes.
every one feel at home. She dresses
quietly, but with the exquisite taste
that stamps her in the minds OF people
who know her as thorough woman Of
the world.
Miss Helen Gould has just paid Min
neapolis visit and the Journal Of that
city says she appeared in the best of
health and spirits as she descended
from her private car, attired in fetch
ing costume of some light summary
material and a bonnet that looked like
a tiara of violets. She was driven
straight to hotel and thereafter all
cards were returned. Miss Gould is
quite willing to talk freely to newspa-
per people, she says, but in no case will
she consent to talk for publication.
Miss Gould has been said by some of
the eastern writer's to wear an habitual
expression of severity if not austerity.
1t has been said that her sympathetic:
nature is not reflected in her counter
ance. This is a, libel Miss Gould
smiled at the coachman, who seemed
mortally afraid something would hap
pen on this important occasion, and
therefore kept rein on the horses. Mr..
Hutchins, the watchful courier of the
party, came in for another smile. S.
Gould is we'll dressed woman. She,
wears no 1ewelry, is plainly if elegant
ly gowned, and has the air of the grand
dame without the repellant GOODNESS
which characterize the European lady.
She expressed desire to be kept out of
the newspapers and is determined that
no newspaper article with herself as
the theme shall ever be printed with
her consent.

PERSONALITIES.

1t is said that Mrs. Nelson A Miles
has been near enough to her husband
in some of his Indian fights to hear the
shots fired by both sides. She went
with him to Europe when he was as
signed to follow the Greeks in their
war with the Turks. and she has kept
close to him in his military doings
since. The general is devoted to her.
