which reached a climax at 4 o'clock

ty unity. seconded the nomination of
Senator Cockrell
No such tumultuous scenes have
been presented in n national conyen-
ton hall since 1892, when wind, rain,
thunder and lightning played their
midnight accompaniment to the din In
side the wigwam on the lake front in
Chicago, where Grover Cleveland was
nominated as the rising sun broke
through the scattering storm clouds.
Again the Democracy, after twelve
years. nominated its standard bearer
in the late hours of the morning, and
the other circumstances surrounding
the nomination of Alton B. Parker, as
well as the physical environment, were
much the same as those on the wild
night of 1892.

though the veterinarians made an at
tempt to patch up the shattered limb and
save the valuable colt, they failed, and
the horse was shot
The accident happened during the last
part of the struggle, just as the horses
were making the turn into the home
stretch. 1t was the opinion of horsemen
that Highbalfs accident was due to step
ping on a hard portion of the track.
They said that the Brighton Beach man
agement in its endeavors to have fast
records had made the track foo hard.
Highball, suffering from pain of the bad
right leg. was evidently favoring it and
throwing his weight on the firm left leg
when he met the hard spot The strain
and weight proved too much for the brit
tie bone and it snapped.
The destroyed thoroughbred was val
ued at $4,000 His owner refused an
offer of $4,000 for him last fall, and
had him insured for $25, 900. as he was
heavily engaged in rich stakes this year.

delegates and the crowd heard with
any distinctness was the declaration OF
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who read
the creed that had kept the commit
tee on resolutions out of bed for
straight thirty-six hours, that the plat
form had the unanimous support or
the committee.
There were two big demonstrations
in connection with the event that had
been In all minds since the opening
tlay of the convention. One of them
followed the speech of Martin W. Lit
Teton. of New York, presenting to the
convention the name of Judge Alton Is.
Parker. of the Empire State Supreme
Court. ami the other followed the
speech OF d. NJ Delmas, OF California,
placing in nomination William RAN
dolph Hearst.
A convention hall like an even could
not diminish the interest OF the thou
sands of men and women. Women

among persons OF all types whom they
knew not. The hall was suffocaung,
but no one thought of moving until
the big event had been brought to its
close.

The Parker and Hearst nominating
speeches came early in the long nights

wild excitement. II remained for the

of Missouri.
Following the CockreIl demoustra-
ton Patrick Collins presented the
name of Richard Olney. of Massachu-
sets. and after that Mayor Rose. OF
milwaukee,. nominated Edward c.
Wall, of Wisconsin.
After the nomination of Parker the
convention adjourned until 2 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon.
Davis the Running Mate.
Henry 6. Davis. former United
States Senator from West Virginia,
was nominated for the vice presiden-
cy by the Democratic national conven-
ton at Ito O'clock Sunday. morning.
The nomination by national CONVEX
ton on Sunday. was unprecedented in
the history OF American conventions.
There were three other candidates, ex-
Senator George Turner Of Washington,
Congressman James r. Williams of
Illinois and William a. Harris of Kan
sas. Mi. Davis Was Just short of seiec-
ton on the first ballot. but the dele
gates clambered into his band wagon
at once and his nomination was made
unanimous At 1:31 q. u. the conven-
ton adjourned sine die.
When the convention met at 2:30
Saturday afternoon. after the ten
hour session of the night before, it
was expected that it would adjourn
by 3 or O'clock with complete tick
ct Matters progressed slowly for an
hour. and it soon became apparent that
the convention was utterly at sea in
the vice presidential matter
Delegates formed in small caucuses
on the floor and suggested candidates
by the score. The informal caucHsing
was little more than gossip, and an
adjournment was decided OH so that
the leaders might have a chance to
survey the list of candidates and crys-
tallize the scattered sentiment Mr.
Bryan he'd retired at a. MI after
fifty sleeDless hours. and did not come
to the afternoon session.
An adjournment was taken soon
after o'clock to $40. In the mean
time the leaders had caucused at the
Southern and selected Davis. The
| original piira was to nominate a for
rIer silver man. But when the Parkes
people found that their voting strength
in the convention was such that they
could do as they pleased they decided
to pick a man of well-known gold lean
| ings. Finally Davis was suggested
His age-hc is 81 years old-was
urged against him, but on the other
hand it was pointed out that he was
extremely wealthy, had a long and
honorable political and official career
behind him, and had always been
sound" on the money question.
The nominating speeches were made
at the afternoon session. and the con
vention was up to the roll call of
States when a telegram was received
from Judge Parker stating that be be
lieved the gold standard was irrevoea-
bly, established, and that if the major
ity of the delegates did not like his
views he would decline the nomina-
ton. Senator Culberson of Texas

Has Made Good Progress.
The weather bureau weekly summary
OF crop conditions is as follows:
Unseasonably cool weather has con-
tinued in the Missouri valley and over
the western part of the upper lake re-
gion, but elsewhere the temperature has
been very favorable. Heavy rains have
prevented cultivation and greatly inter
lfered with harvesting in the lower Mis-
souri,, central Mississippi and Ohio val
leys and in parts of the middle Atlantic
States and lake region, and much grain
in shock has been damaged in Oklahoma,
Kansas and Missouri Drought prevails
in Texas.
Corn has made vigorous growth. but
continuous rains have prc-o1ted cultiva-
ton, and much of the crop is weedy. In
the more northerly districts corn is gem
orally backward. but has advanced de-
cidedly during the last week. In the mid
die Atlantic States the crop mas made
excellent progress and is in very prom
Using condition.
Winter wheat has sustained great dam
age from continuous heavy rains in Ne
braska. Kansas. Oklahoma and Missouri,
where the unharyested grain was seri-
ously damaged by rust and lodging and
that in shock by molding and sprouting.
Harvesting has continued under favora-
BILE weather in the districts east of the
Mississippi. Harvesting has continued
under favorable conditions on the Pacific
coast.
While spring wheat has suffered slight
~ from rust over the southern portions of
the spring wheat region and is thin and
weedy on iowlands in northern Mime
sofa, the crop as a whole has advanced
satisfactorily.
Oats have suffered from excessive
moisture in the lower Missouri valley.
but elsewhere this crop has made salts
factory progress. Cotton has grown rap
idly.

Progress is making toward the settle
ment of the rights of Colorado and Kan
sas in the waters of the Arkansas river.
A commission has been appointed to take
testimony on the subject. Four years
have been consumed in reaching this
stage of the proceedings. Kansas has
held that Colorado should be restrained
from further diverting the waters of the
river for irrigation purposes, as the Kan
sas farms in the valley of the river will
suffer if the flow of water be decreased.
The question involved affects many irri-
CATION projects in the West, which have
been begun on the assumption that the
waters of a stream might be diverted
for the use of the abutting property own
ers on the principle of first come first
served.
Much confused thinking was clarified
by the Supreme Court decision excluding
from the country John Turner, an Eng
lish anarchist Turner is the editor of
a radical newspaper in London who sew
eral months ago came to the United
States to lecture As it was known that
he preached hostility to organized gov
eminent, he was arrested soon after his
arrival on the charge that he was an
anarchist within the meaning of the inn
migration law, and must be deported. He
fought the case in the courts. His law
yers held that his arrest was in violation
OF the right of free speech guaranteed
by the constitution. The Supreme Court
has declared that as Congress has forbid
den the entrance of alien anarchists into
the country, Turner. as an alien an
archist, has no rights under the corsti-
tuition to freedom of speech. He be-
longs to class which Congress has said
may not enjoy the Liberties of America.

San Juan del Monte, Suburb of Ma
Mia, Is Completely Destroyed.
Two hundred lives were lost and ST.
100000 worth of property destroyed by
a cloudburst at San Juan del Monte. a
suburb of Manila. The cloudburst fol-
lowed an unprecedented rain which con-
tinued for twenty-fOur hours, during
which time seventeen inches of water
fell
San Juan was almost entirely destroy
ed by the floods which swept down upon
it from the hills, coming SO swiftly that
hundreds of the residents were unable to
escape. The surrounding country is I'M
der water and the natives are fleeing to
the hills for safety.
San Juan del Monte is a small town
west of Manila and lies between the
hills and the seashore. The town is in
the. path of the water that runs down
from the hills during the rainy season,
but this rainfall was unprecedented.
While the natives were preparing to
fee to the hills in safety. and carry as
much of their property as possible, the
cloudburst occurred in the hills, causing
a food that swept down upon the little
town with such violence and swiftness
that two hundred persons were drowned.
