the flow of favorite son oratorv all

his speech.

til eight o'clock. His motion did not
prevail.

He Took Things Easy.

From 9:45 y. m, until after six
o'clock this morning, during the
hours the convention was in session
Judge Parker remained in his room,
which he only left to go to the river
for his usual swim. AT that time he
knew only that there had been an all
night session of the convention and
that the balloting had begun.
There is little doubt that Judge
Parker has been confident for many
days that he would be nominated, and
while he would not discuss this as
pect of the question, this morning, it
was plain that the announcement of
the result brought him no surprise
unless perhaps in some detail of the
figures involved.
Judge Parker devoted the first
leisure of the morning to reading the
morning papers, devoting close at
tention to the platform. He refused
to make any comment whatever upon
the platform. Afterward he started
for a ride on horseback. The Ameri-
can flag was run up on the Rosemont
Flagstaff today and flags and bunting
appear in increasing profusion on all
buildings in Esopus. A celebration
planned for tonight has been post
poned until next week. BY that thine

proper use of the national flag, passed by
the state legislature last year, was de-

Washington, Feb 9.-Sonator Hanna's
condition is a little more encouraging,
though the extreme weakness which has
been the worst feature OF his illness,
continues. He had fairly quiet day,
rested little better and there was less
irritability Of the stomach, so that the
senator was able to take more nourish-
ment than for some days. For the past
two days he has talked very little. and
has made no effort, as at first, to bring
up business matters. The PHI sicians
say it is case of waiting for the dis
ease to run its course but that they are
hopeful. The heart action continues
good, and the fact that the senator is of
long-lived family is considered in his
favor.
