FIELD AGAINST PARKER.
He Must Be Beaten Before Nominal
ton Is Considered.

ton Is Considered.
ST. Louis, July Summarizing the
news reports, gathered from the infiu-
entail Democrats now arriving to at
tend the convention, and by telegraph
from all parts of the country, the stu
alton is evidently still uncertain. Par
ker remains the leading candidate, but
with a more or less loose support out
side of New York and a few other
states.
Yesterday saw the beginnings of a
qualification of the other candidates
against Parker. The Hearst headQuar-
tiers at the Jefferson became an active
scene from the entrance of the Califor-
mia men, the most vigorous of the
Hearst delegations, and the presence of
Mr.. IhmSen, one of Mr. HearSt'S per-
ferences which encouraged the proba-
bility that, without promising anything
to Hearst himself, the delegations which
have faVorite sons will reach a working
understanding with the Hearst men to
stick together on the balloting to beat
Parker.
Senator Stone, representing Missouri's
candidate, Senator Cockrell, said that
it is 1.-The field against Parker" intimat-
ing that Parker musut be beaten before
the chances of other candidates can be
measured.
Two of the marked incidents of the
day were the subsistence of the Cleve-
land idea and the rather peculiar news
from Senator German. The well-inform-
ed do not believe that Cleveland Will
be seriously considered. The Parker
men insist that the Cleveland boom
was started by the Hearst men to di-
vide Parkers strength while the Hearst
managers assert that the Parker advo-
Gates put it forth in order to frighten
western delegates into taking up Par
ker as the lesser evil in their eyes.
The reported illness and possible
absence of Senator German from the
convention gave rise to many rumors.
The report was disagreeable to both
the Parker side and the opposition.
New York friends of Parker were
counting upon German to dissolve any
possible combination against their
candidate; while the field" had hoped
for the Maryland senator's influence
in constructing an opposition strong
enough to successfully combat the
Parker prestige in the south.
The national committee announced
that Congressman John Sharp Will
liams had been selected as temporary
chairman. 1t is said that there is a
division of opinion about the perma-
nent craftsmanship, some of the Par
ker element on the committee desir-
ing to make the temporary Organiza-
ton permanent: others wishing to join
the western states in selecting Champ
Clark of Missouri as permanent chair
man.

THE FIRST WIRE ROPE.
Was Manufactured by the Ancients
and Pompeii Contains Samples.

1t is not an uncommon thing in this
age of advancement in industrial and
engineering matters for the present day
engineer to assume that he knows much
more tnan his ancient brother, and,
while this is true in many things, it
frequently happens that an invention
or appliance commonly believed to be-
long to modern times is found to have
been known and used centuries ago.
Ropes made of various kinds of
fiber and leather are of very ancient
date. Ropes of palm have been found
in Egypt in the tombs of -Hassan
(about 5000 B. CO, and on the walls OF
these tombs is also shown the process
Of preparing hemp. In tomb at ThebeS
of the time of Thotnmes III (about
1900 B. c. is group representing the
process of twisting thongs of leather
and the method of cutting the leather
into thongs. The Bible tells US That
Samson was bound with ropes, and that
the spies sent by Joshua into Jericho
We're let down in a basket, presume bly,
by means of d rope.
At Nimrod, Assyria, carved slab
showing the siege of a castle was found
on which a soldier was represented in
the act of cutting a rope to which a
bucket for drawing water from a well
outside the castle walls was attached
The wire rope is generally considered
a modern invention a product of mod
ern skill, and it will surprise many to
learn that its manufacture is really
L
Although the Assyrians practiced the
art of wire-beating, no evidence has
been found to indicate that they used
wire for making rope.
The excavations at Pompeii have,
however, brought to light a piece of
bronze wire rope nearly fifteen feet
long and about one inch in circumfer
ence. This rope is now in the Music
Borbonico at Naples. 1t consists of
three strands laid spirally together, each
strand being made up of fifteen wires
twisted together, and it's construction
does not, therefore, differ greatly from
that of wire ropes today. Pompeii was
buried A. d. 70, over 300 years ago,
but how long wire ropes had then been
known it. is impossible to tell, though
judging by the knowledge shown in
the construction, it may be safely con-
cluded that they had been known for
a considerable time. The uses to which
these ropes were put are not definitely
known, but further excavations may
shed some light on the subject.-Phil-

FOURTH OF July ACCIDENTS.
Pistols and Fire Crackers Cause Nu-
merOuS Injuries.

Edwin Kistler. the 16-year-old son
of V. B. Kistler, of the Kistler- Metz
Ter Mercantile company, was shot in
the thigh of the right leg this morn
ing with a blank cartridge by a boy
named Hulett with whom he was cele-
brating the Fourth. Hulett held the
pistol close to Kistler's leg and pulled
the trigger. The discharge 1acerated
the flesh badly and filled it with pow
der. DR.. H. H Keith was called at
once and attended the injured boy.
He stated that the wound is a bad one
and would lay up KiStler for some
time. There will be no serious results
if blood poisoning is avoided. The
accident happened at Z o'clock this
morning in front of the Throop hotel.
Kistler was taken to his home at 301
Topeka avenue.
Willie Emery, 6-year-old boy liv-
ing at the Sixth Avenue hotel. burned
his left hand badly this morning in
front of the Crawford theater while
trying to relight a giant firecracker,
off which the fuse had been burnt A
great deal of powder was blown into
the flesh of the fingers and into the
palm of his hand, making a painful
bruise.

ed, perhaps, on the first ballot and sure
ly on the second
Two things were stated definitely at
Senator Hilrs headquarters, first that
no platform has been drawn for Judge
Parker to stand on and that even a
rough draft will not be forthcoming
until Wednesday, and second, that
Judge Parker as a candidate Will read
lily stand upon any platform that ma
jority of the convention agree upon
This last statement is significant pc
cause it is thoroughly well known that
he would not stand on a radical plat
form 1t is therefore evident that the
Parker supporters are already assured
that the convention will not agree 10
even a suggestion of radicalism as sug-
geSted by Bryan and Hearst support
ers. but indeed will strongly tend in an
entirely different direction, particularly
on the financial and tarln planks- "A
man close to Senator Hill said;
THE feeling is that the Bryan ele-
ment have had their way twice. One
year they did as they pleased and the
next time they were catered TO py
having the old platform 1ndorsed-
They have had their innings and nave
failed. This time they must give way
to the conservatives and if they are
good Democrats they will do it grace
fully"
There is some difference of opinion
as to whether the plank should read
sound money" or simply refer to the
money of the constitution, While
few think it would be emlnently
proper to declare for gold standard.
This latter thing will not be done, but
il is probable that there will be a dec
laration for the money of the consti-
tuition"
Senator Hill himself is paying little
or no attention to the platform, at
least at present, and this statement
was made for him by one of those
close to him; Senator Hill is not
drawing the platform and, while he
TRHraSant state COM
mittee on resolutions, will not be its
chairman. Several men of affairs, in
Guiding some of the United States sem
ators and members of congress-, are
preparing individual planks and will
submit them at conference on Tues
day or Wednesday. But Senator Hill
wants it distinctly understood that he
has no platform prepared and that
the only thing he is devoting his at
tention TO is the nomination of Judge
Parker"

One dead child was with the party.

They all were terribly exhausted. The
