nation and the former was elected by
a vote of IS to 16. The committee then
elected Charles A. Walsh of Iowa sec
rotary of the national committee, per-
manent secretary of the convention.
All other officers of the temporary or
ganization were made permanent and
the committee adjourned under the i'm
preston that its labors We're ended.
Several members went to the EXPOSE

that a quorum could not be found an
hour later. When Senator Bailey was
informed of his election he announced

SURE OF VICTORY.
Hill Doesn't Desire Parkers Nominal
ton on First Ballot.

st. Louis, July AT the Parker
headquarters lieutenants of David B.
Hill worked quietly this morning and
with confidence that bespoke knowl-
edge of sure victory Senator Hill re-
iterated his statement that he was
making no attempt to nominate Judge
Parker on the first ballot. 1t was suf-
ficient to know that he could be easily
by shutting out favorite sons. All the
candidates should be presented to the
convention and voted for on the first
ballot, he argues, and that will prob
ably be the course pursued.
The fact that New Jersey this morn
ing finally voted to cast it's vote for
Parker, however. made it apparent
that Mr. HIS programme may be
position with apparently less than a
third of the convention on the first
ballot.
At Tammany headquarters Mr.. Muir
ply said that he still believed Mr.. Par
ker could not be nominated. 1t was
said that the opposition had agreed to
concentrate upon Mcclellan of New
York. Il can not say as to that, but
| am in the same frame of mind as
yesterday and days previous as to the
candidacy of Judge Parker"
1t was said about the Hobbies that q
concentration on Mcclellan was being
suggested, but that only Missouri and
Wisconsin had shown any signs of as
sisting.
When the alleged concentration was
mentioned to Senator Edward MUIR
ply, jr., at New York's headquarters,
he said:
"In the face of the fact that the
Massachusetts delegation passed a res
olution early today tt, stand on every
ballot for Olney, it is evident that such
talk is ridiculous. In addition Mr.
Hearst's delegates are pledged and
will not desert him in any large num-
Der, while the Gray men in Delaware
and the Wall men in Wisconsin will
not desert their candidate. Judge
Parker will surely be nominated

SOLDIER is BEHAVING.
Water in Stream Going Down Rapidly
This Afternoon.

The water in Soldier creek is rapidly
falling. The lowlandS around Shorey,
the reform school and out as far as
Elmont are inundated, and several
thousand acres of crops are ruined.
But the water is rapidly going down
in Soldier creek and the ravineS and
tributaries of the creek. The water
from the small tributaries of the creek
has practically exhausted itself and it
appears that the danger will be less
ened rather than increased from this
time.
The wagon bridges in the stricken
locality have suffered considera bly,
but the railway bridges and culverts
of the Rock Island have stood the
strain, and trains are now running
over the north line of the Rock Is
land.
