Clouds Blow Away.
The conference was characterized at
the beginning by much feeling. but to-
wards the end il assumed a very peace
full attitude. Senator Carmack. ex-Sen-
ator Cannon and Senator Tillman were
among the most earnest speakers, and
all agreed that it would not be advis-
able to press a gold standard plank
upon the Convention. Senator Tillman
inclined to be ugly at first, and spoke
in loud tones of the ''insincerity of the
friends of the candidate.

Parkers character. His action is man

TRIED TO MOB PRIEST.

Pittsburg, July 9.-Shouting for the
police and pursued by several hundred
of his irate parishioners, Father B. Be-
KAYAK, pastor of the st. Nicholas Croa-
tian Church in Allegheny, narrowly
escaped injury and perhaps death at
the hands of Infatuated men and wo-
men last night. Through the efforts
of the police, who guarded the entrance
to the priests domicile, the storming
of the house was prevented.
The trouble was started by a men,
Der of the church making the allega-
ton that the pastors fees for officiat-
ing at christenings. weddings and flu
nerals were exorbitant. This was de-
MED, adding that the trustees used the
funds of the church to pay themselves
for services rendered. The priest i
statement caused the indignant COLI
gregation to press forward, shouting
in Croatian and threatening violence
The priest broke for the door. calling
for the police to follow. About 700
men and women pursued him, but were
prevented from entering the house by
the officers. Later a squad of police
dispersed the crowd. The members
threaten that they will tear down the
church if Bishop Phelan decides to re-
tain Father Bekavak as pastor.

Esopus, N Y, July 9.-The news of
Judge Parker's nomination was given
to him at $50 a, m. today by the cor
respondent of the Associated Press,
who found him coming out of the water
after his morning swim.
Well Judge, you've got It," cried the
reporter as the athletic figure of the
Judge appeared over the bow of the
barge from which he had been diving.
rs that so?" replied the Judge, his
ruddy face breaking into a CHEEKY smile
in which satisfaction was undisguised.
He asked for details of the final vote
and displayed the livelist interest in
every fact and figure. at the same time
refraining from the slightest comment.
When asked II he would say any
thing on the matter of his nomination,
he said: mo, / shall say nothing
whatever upon theesubjeet, until am
formally notified of my nomination"
He climbed up the steep bank to his
home and cordially received the greet
ings of the other newspaper men. who
had been waiting there, but again de-
clined to make any comment upon the
situation.
From 9:45 p. m. until after o'clock
this morning. during the hours the con-
vention was in session, Judge Parker
remained In his room, which he left
only to go to the river for his usual
swim. At that time he knew only
that there had been an all night SEES
sion of the convention and that the bal
loting had begun.
There is little doubt that Judge Par
ker has been confident for many days
that he would be nominated. and
while he would not discuss this aspect
of the question this morning, 1t was
plain the announcement of the result
brought him no surprise unless perhap:
in some details of the figures involved
. Judge Parker devoted the first leis-
ure of the morning to reading the
papers, devoting close attention to the

comment whatever upon the platform

Esopus N. Y July 9.-The report
that Judge Parker had sent word to
his friends in ST. Louis that he demur-
red to the platform devoid of the gold
plank reached here tonight just as the
Esopus people were preparing to cele-
brate his nomination.
Dispatches setting forth the situa-
tion at St. Louis were shown to Judge

ALABAMA FOR DAVIS
CASTS SOLID VOTE FOR THE WEST
vIRGINIAN.
MANY Objections Urged Against the
West Virginiam, W lille Also Are
There Many Things In
His Favor.

st, Louis, Mo-, July 9.-(SpeciaL)-
There was a meeting of the Alabama
delegation this afternoon to determine
Its attitude on the Presidency.
After some discussion, it developed
that the sentiment of the body was
practically unanimous to support who
soever the Parker leaders might sug-
gest it being understood that they
were then in conference on the sub
iect. When this conclusion was
reached Colonel Rhodes and Congress
man Clayton came in with the state
ment that they had just seen Messrs.
Hill and Sheehan who did not want to
dictate to the delegation but had sug-
gested that Alabama nominate exSen-
ator Henry Davis of West Virginia.
Rhodes lauded Senator Davis at some
length and spoke of the advantages of
his nomination. Mr.. Clayton supple
mented his remarks. Thereupon on
motion Chairman Russell was author
lied to place Davis in nomination. And
he agreed to do so.
When the delegation returned to the
hall. 1t developed that Illinois claimed
a promise of Alabama to yield to Illi-
nois on the roll call. This promise had
been made at the FIRST session of the
day before the events of the afternoon
had developed. Nevertheless, Alabama
kept her promise and yielded to ILL
nois to nominate Congressman Will
liams Of that State.
Later in the roll call of States Colo
mel Russell seconded the nomination Of
Davis. q"
There was some dissatisfaction witt
the Davis idea. 1t is urged that he II
too old, since he is in his sgd year. thai
both candidates on the ticket should
not be from the Atlantic Coast. that hi
is a multi millionaire, etc. On the 9th
er hand, it is urged that he is a mos
vigorous man, very popular In Wes
Virginia, and that he can make tina
doubtful State certainly Democratic
He is the father-in-law of Steve Elkin
the Republican leader, whose friends
would be paralyzed in that State HI
is a cousin of Senator German and |:
very strong with the business men o.
New York.
The convention in its nominating
speeches developed a tendency to gt
to the Central or Far West. William!
received many seconds and Turner o.
Washington had a number of speeche.
made for him, principally from ehe new
States of the Northwest.
Davis was nominated on the first bal
lot, Alabama casting her 20 votes fol

Waters are Falling and the Worst II
Nnsx


Kansas City. July 9.-Flood waters
at Armourdale. Argentine and lower
kansas City, Kas.. on the raging Kaw
and the Manhattan half way across
Kansas. have fallen steadily since late
yesterday and today continued to re-
cede. The water at Manhattan became
stationary at midnight, after rising
steadily all day yesterday and then be-
gan to go down. eliminating the last
danger of further damage at the mouth
OF the Kaw, or along its course. The
stage here was two feet lower than
yesterday.
In Armourdale, however, the water
still stood over six feet deep in the
lowest places. The Missouri river at
Kansas City and North also receded
fast and no additional damage will re-
suit. In the west bottom on the Mis-
souri, side the fall was more noticeable
than elsewhere. At the stock yards
the fall was slow and conditions were
still bad. Most OF the pens were floods
ed and 1t will not be possible to handle
receipts before Monday. The railroads
are recovering and today every line
south and west operated some trans in
and out of Kansas City although with
little regard to schedule. Railroad Of
finials and business men whose busi-
ness was injured say the damage local
ly is Insignificant, when compared with
last years losses. The relief commit
tee of Kansas City, Kas. was caring
for the 5000 or 5000 homeless have
decided to accept the aid offered by the
War Department and to accept any vol
untary contributions.
Lieutenant Colonel r. H. Loughbor-
ough, of Fort Leavenworth, who was
sent by the War Department to investi-
gate the situation has recommended
that 1000 rations be given the city to-
day and additional food supplies be
sent each day as needed. A refuge
camp has been opened. and all the suf-
ferers are being well taken care of.
Many persons are returning to their
homes in the higher part of the flood
district. but 1t will be many days be-
fore the great majority Of the flooded
houses are inhabitable.

tenn of the town of Petropolis. Here
they have grown with extraordinary

unusual development is attributed to

1t is difficult to make satisfactory any
theory of the earliest condition of the
solar system. Prof. F. E. Nipher finds
that mathematical reasons for believing
that the nebula could not have been
wholly gaseous at the time the planets
were separating. and that the only
! reasonable idea is that the planets were
formed from condensing swarms of me-
teorites. 1t appears that the sun must
have been solid when Mercury left 1t,
becoming fused and vaporized at later
period. 1t seems improbable that the
earth should ever have been in molten
condition.
