STAMPEDE TO FORMER PREsl.
DENT is PLANNED BY NUM-
Der OF POLITICIANS.
He Appears to Be the First Choice Of

CHICAGO. June 16.-Walter Well
man in a New York special to the Rec
ord Herald says:
That a great effort is to be made to
the nomination of former President
Cleveland is the understanding of most
politicians and fnanciers in the east.
Nearly every important man one meets
in this city, whether he be prominent
in politics or in corporations or bank
ing, and therefore more or less in
touch with politicians and politics. ex-
pressed an opinion of which the fol-
lowing is a fair sample:
Il think Judge Parker will be the
nominee of the ST. Louis convention
provided the plan to bring Grover
Cleveland forward and rush him
through does not win
The widespread opinion that Mr..
Clevelands nomination is a possibility,
and many think it probability, is act
ually one of the noteworthy features
of political discussion in the east.
have heard so much of it that l tried
to learn where and with whom the
movement to name Mr.. Cleveland was
to start and who was to put his shoul-
it along
Here appears another peculiar fea-
ture of the gossip of the hour which
one hears on all sides. No one is able
to answer that question. No one knows
who is gonig to start the ball rolling.
No one knows where the votes are
coming to nominate the former presi-
dent. No one in control of votes ap-
pears to have the Cleveland boom in
charge, and yet, everyone, or nearly
everyone, is looking with confidence to
see such an effort made in the cOnven-
ton, by somebody.
Some of these men with whom
have talked think CleVeland's nominal
ton is a possibility Others go lit
tie farther and express the opinion it
is probability. This is particularly
true among bankers and financial peO-
pie with whom obviously the wish is
father to the thought.
Politicians and men who know the
political game do not know how the
Cleveland business can be made to
work. and are skeptical as TO the prac-
liability of giving the effort to nomin-
ate the eX-president a fair start at St.
Louis.
In the absence of another evidence
of the existence of real persons with
actual votes behind the Cleveland talk
one is compelled to adopt the latter
view About Cleveland there is no
end of talk but all the probabilities are
it will remain talk and nothing but
talk to the end.

The car seldom speaks while the
health of the czarina is causing her
physicians considerable worry. Her
nerves are so shattered by the recent
disasters that all of her intimates have

There is also trouble brewing for

SOLDIERS WON'T CONE
Secretary Taft Gave the Proposition a
Death Blow.

There will be no regular army sol
diers here to escort Secretary of War
Taft when he comes to attend the
Semi Centennial festivities Word was
received today from Acting Adjutant
General Hall to this effect.
It seems that the proposition to
have the troops brought here was re-
ferred to Mr.. Taft himself, and he
naturally hesitated about calling out
troops to make a display on his own
account. It looks as though the army
officers had gone to work and "balled
up Topeka's invitation with a lot of
red tape, the result being the defeat of
the whole proposition.
The letter received today is as fol-
lows:
