The Democratic National Com
mittee Decides In Favor of
the Hopkins Delegates
HEARST MEN DIsHEARTENED
Decision is a Blow to Harrison and
Hearst Following and They Say They
Will Carry the Fight to Floor of the
Convention - Committee Explains
Ground for il. Decision.

ST. Louis, July 2.-The national COM
mittee reported in favor of seating the
Hopkins delegates in all Illinois con-
tests.
The national committee met this
morning to receive the reports of SUBJ
committees appointed yesterday to
consider the contests in various states.
All contests were settled last night
with the exception of New Jersey and
Illinois.
The subcommittee reported to the
national committee that 1t was the
unanimous opinion of its members
that the Hopkins delegates be allowed
to retain their seats. The report was
concurred in and the Hopkins people
will hold their seats unless ousted by
the action Of the committee on cre-
dentials. The decision Of the sub
committee was based on the ground
that the state convention was supreme
and that fights in district caucuses
are not proper matter for adjudica-
ton by the national committee and
that 1t Is not the business Of the ma
tional committee to go behind the
records of the convention as submitted
to them. The fight should. in the
opinion of the committee. have been
made in the state before the compile
tion of the record of the convention.
This showed the Hopkins people are
the regularly accredited delegates and
sustained their contention that the ma
tional committee did not have the
right to decide the contest.
The Harrison and Hearst men were
greatly disheartened by their defeat
and announced their Intention Of cor
srying the fight before the committee
on credentials and II beaten there be-
forefore the convention itself. This
statement did not alarm the Hopkins
people who said the argument that won
for them before the national committee
also would hold good before the con-
vention.
The contests in other states were re-
ported by various subcommittee as
previously announced. Their action
was approved by the national COM
mittee.

as high as SIS. and in some cases even
higher figures have been paid. The re-
suit OF this is that in many cases
dummies engaged by or for one vet
eran have been switched off, and the
firstcomer has been betrayed.
According to the presidents procla-
nation a soldier may delegate an agent
to appear Tor Nim by power OF attor-
ney but that agent may appear for one
soldier only. Early in the game NUM-
Der of loca ting agents at Bonesteel and
other points on the edge Of the reserva-
ton secured lists Of soldiers dunn
miles,. Each dummy" was paid 81. for
which he was to register for the soldier
and later file on the land drawn. Sew
eral hundred of these dummies were
easily secured in and around Bonesteel,
but more than 1000 applications have
been received. and it is this boom in
business which makes the soldiers
registration matter Of considerable
doubt.
AS several thousand soldiers will
make application to be registered by
mail and the available supply OF re-
sponsible dummies is very limited, to a
few hundreds at most, 1t will be seen
what chances the soldier who does not
appear in person is taking.

HILL FOR LIVE ISSUES.
Says Nature Has Solved the Money
Question.

St Louis, Mo-, July 5--"Nature has
| solved the money question. and we
don't want to go into 1t here" said
David Bennett Hill at the Planters
hotel last night. ut is unnecessary
for us to return to an old vexation that
has been cleared up and settled. altho
by an unexpected means
Eight and four years ago the dem
ocratic party contended for wider and
more expansive currency. Some want
ed 1t to be accomplished by statutes
and advocated the remedy OF free sill
yer. The people. however, decided
against that. and now the contention of
the party has been vindicated by act OF
providence, and the worlds increased
product of gold has done for the coun-
try all that is necessary.
Affront No Individual.
mo. Let us affront no individual,
faction or section by. specific declara-
ton along former lines. We are here
for harmony and reunited party, and
since we have been given an increased
currency, no matter by what means, we
ought to let well enough alone and face
living issues"
1t was In the midst of half hours
conversation that Mr.. !ttll made the
declaration above quoted. He was in
conversation with j. w. Orr and DR.. S.
r. Nicely of Kansas, both of whom fa-
vor Parker.
LET us be outspoken." continued Mr..
Hill; "but why deny what has been
proved? Free silver, you and I and
many others believe, was not the rem
edy, and we still believe it, but it is a
fact that expansion has come, and none
of us object to the way 1t has come"
Parker Logical Candidate.
Mr. Hill then continued Judge
Parker is the man to nominate. The
opposition to him is in the air. 1t has
no candidate. We hear of Pattison, of
Pennsylvania. He is not a candidate.
And they are putting up German, Of
Maryland. He is not candidate. A
leader ought to lead He should not
stay so far out of sight.
II think we will be able to make a
platform that will be acceptable to the
people. The great issues Of the day are
the tariff and the trusts, and really
they are one and the same"

Our Naval Armament as Good as Any
Says O'NeilI.

Paris, July 5.-Rear Admiral Charles
O'Neill, U. S. NJ, is here investigating
French armor and armament. The
ministry of marine has issued him q
permit to visit the fleet and govern
ment dock yards at Toulon. Later he
will visit the northern fleet and dock
yards at Cherbo,irg and Havre. Ad-
miral O'Neill has already forwarded to
the navy department report concern
ing British armor and armament. After
leaving France Admiral O'Neilr will
visit German naval ports. He said:
Speaking generally. my observa-
tions lead to the conclusion that the ar
NOR and armament OF American ships
are equal or superior to those Of the
best foreign fleets. My inquiry also
shows that our rapid fire guns do not
suffer in comparison with the best for
eign types"

In view Of the marshars statement

While Athens has heretofore borne a
