DISCUSSING THE PLATFORM.
Main Topic in the Conferences With
Bryan.

DENVER, July 3-Representative
Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, who Is
slated for the permanent Craftsmanship of
the national democratic convention, ar
rived here today. following a conference
with Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln yesterday.
Like all the other leaders who have talk
ed with Mr.. Bryan en- route to Denver.
Mr.. Clayton is confident of democratic
victory next November. Mr.. Bryan him
self believes that the cause Of democracy
never has been brighter nor had such a
hold on the people as 1t has at present.
and he feels assured Of the party's sue

the main topic of discussion with all the
leaders who stopped off at Lincoln. 1t
seems to be clearly settled that there
shall be a clear and explicit pronounce
ment on the subject of intunctions in
volving labor disputes.
Mr.. Clayton said that the plank will be
SO drawn as to leave no room for doubt
as to where the democrats stand. A mis-
taken idea. he said. is that the labor lead
ers are clamoring for a radical declaration
against the judiciary of the country.
All they wanted was fair and reason
able legislation which will restore to them
right Of notice in Injunction proceedings.
as provided for in statute books for sew
enty years before the codification of the
laws in 1873.
There is no question in my mind"
said Mr.. Clayton. that the large major
ity of the labor organizations will be sat-
isfied with the plank as 1t will be finally
adopted by the convention

NAMES PRIVATE SECRETARY
SECRETARY WRIGHT APPOINTS
WALTER r. PEDIGO.
Charles c. Wagner Selected as Con-
fidential Clerk to Head Of
War Department.

Secretary Wright today announced the
appointment of Walter r. Pedigo as his
private secretary to succeed Fred W. Car
penter, who is to leave the War Depart
ment in order to continue to serve Judge
Taft in that capacity. Mr.. Carpenter is
still assisting Secretary Wright, but ex
poets to join Judge Taft at Hot Springs
the 10th instant.
Mr.. Pedigo is from Virginia and for the
past six years has been employed in the
the latter part of the time serving as pri-
vate secretary to Gen. Edwards. chief
of the bureau. He accompanied the lat
ter and Secretary Taft on their latest trip
to the Philippines. He is thoroughly ia
miliar with departmental methods and
has a wide acquaintance with public Of
ficials.
At the outbreak Of the Spanish war In
Virginia Volunteer Infantry, and because
of his clerical abilities was appointed a
clerk at 1000 with the eth Army Corps,
and afterward promoted to $1,000 at the
headquarters of Gen. FitZhugh Lee at
Havana and then at Pinar del Rio. In
December, 1900, he was appointed a clerk
of class eleven. in the War Department.
and In July, 1902. was transferred to the
insular bureau. where he has remained
ever since having been in the $500 class
since April, 1903. In his new office ne will
receive a salary of $500 year His APP
pointment is popular one and was based
on merit. backed by the influence of Judge
Taft and Gen. Edwards.
The vacancy in the Office of confidential
clerk to the Secretary. vacated by the
resignation of w. w. Mischler. has been
filled by the promotion of Charles c.
Wagner of Pennsylvania, formerly ste
nographer to the Secretary. involving an
increase in salary of from 1,S0O to $1,000
a year. He entered the service in March,
1898, at $1,000. under civil service rules.
and has been gradually promoted for eff
ficiency.
These two offices are strictly confiden-
tial and could have been filled by the Sec
rotary from outside the civil service. He
decided, however, in favor of merit and
experience and waived his prerogatives in
the matter.

FIRE AFTER NINE EXPLOSION
TWO HUNDRED WORKMEN
STILL ENTOMBED.
One Hundred and Sixty Dead Bodies
Already Recovered in
Russian Catastrophe.

YUSSOVO. European Russia. July g.
Fire broke out today in the Rikovsky
mine. which. yesterday was the scene of
an explosion of gas that resulted in a
heavy loss of life.
The work OF rescue and fighting the
fire is being conducted under the greatest
difficulties. Over 900 men remain down
in the mine. shut in by falling earth. and
their fate is unknown.
One hundred and sixty dead bodies al
ready have been brought out. Many of
the men were burned to death. while
others had their heads and limbs torn off
by the force of the explosion.
Seventy-f1ve wounded We're removed to
hospitals. OF these, ten already have ex-
pired and many more are dying. 1t is
believed the present known number of
dead will be increased by seventy-five.
The explosion occurred just after the
shift entered the mine. The last twenty
men of the shift We're still in the cage
at the bottom of the shaft and they
were drawn to the surface uninjured
Rescue parties were at once organized
and commenced to go down Six of the
rescuers were suffocated. but the others
bravely continued at work.
In the meanwhile the 5000 miners who
had gathered at the head of the shaft
became SO excited that troops had to be
summoned. They cleared the ground and
today only members of the families Of
victims are allowed to come within their
Gordon.
Heartrending scenes are witnessed as
the mangled bodies of the dead men are
brought to the surface and given over to
the bereaved women. Many of the
wounded are quite mad from shock The
cause Of the explosion is not known.

lines laid down in the Nebraska plat
form regarding notice to defendants and
hearing by the courts. requiring that in
junction trials shall be conducted by
some judge other than the author of the
writ and permitting juries in certain
other cases. But there are already sug-
eestions Of compromise.
The conservatives are especially hold
ing out against the sweeping requirements
for notice, and many Of Mr. Bryan's best
friends are inclined to be of the opinion
that his views would carry the conven-
ton farther than 1t possibly could go on
this point.
Many notifications have already been
suggested. and 1t is known that some of
these have been brought to the attention
of the Nebraskan. The latest Of these
suggestions look to change in the no.
tice clause SO as to permit the issuance
of injunction writs in labor controversies
without notice in cases of great emer-
gency. but requiring that time limit be
fixed and providing for notice and hear
ing second presentation of the subject to
the courts 1t is very evident that If
some modification is not to be obtained
the plank will be bitterly fought in COM
mittee and probably on the floor Of the
convention.

AN AERoPLANE EVENT.
First Public Flight in America a
Hammondsport Tomorrow

HAMMONDSPORT, n. Y July 3-The
first officially tested fight ever made in
America for a "heavier-than-air machine
is scheduled to take place at this place
tomorrow. The flight will be made by
Mr.. Glenn II. Curtiss In his June Bug"
for the Scientific American trophy, which
is valued at $3.50. The trophy was Of
fered to the Aero Club of America under
a deed Of gift which provided that the
first flight should be a kilometer e. $50
feet in a straight line; but as the con-
ditions to be fulfilled when competing
for the trophy can be changed from time
to time. SO as to keep ahead of the art.
the rules in the present instance have
been altered so that at the wish of the
aeronaut the dist ance may be covered In
a curved line. which is much more diff
fcult. The June Bug" is 40 feet in
width. % feet deep. is built on aeroplane
principles and propelled by a 4O-horse-
power motor.
The holding of the contest Independ-
ence day renders 1t particularly fitting
for an American machine to attempt to
win this trophy. which is offered by the
oldest American scientific and mechan-
ical journal for encouraging the develop
ment of the new science of aviation. The
trial will be the first public attempt of an
aeroplane to win the only aeronautic
trophy for 'heavier-than-air" apparatus
that has ever been onered in America.
The trophy which has not hitherto
been competed for, is beautiful exam
pie of the silversmith's art. From a green
onyx base with silver cartouche rises
the sterling silver trophy. measuring
thirty-two inches over all. At the base
are six winged horses OF cast silver at
right and left in groups OF three with
rider astride each center horse raising
aloft the palm of victory. Then comes a
globe. Projected from the globe is an
aeroplane punging through an ethereal
envelope. The machine is in high relief.
standing away from the silver globe with
it's frame held together by silver guy
ropes Surrounding the globe is an
American eagle holding the wreath of
victory.

Record Broken.

HENLEY July 3.-This was the last
day Of the Henley regatta. The finals
for the grand challenge cup evoked much
enthusiastic attention. Elton and Christ
Church rowed. and after a splendid race
the latter won by one and a half lengths.
The time was minutes and 10 seconds,
which is poor, the record being minutes
and 81 seconds.
The finals for the diamond SOULS re-
suited In victory for A. G. McCulloch.
who defeated A. A. Stuart, brother of
the Cambridge stroke.
McCulloch won easily in the slow time
of minutes and % seconds.
The regatta was noticeable this year
for the fact that In spite of ideal row.
ing conditions only a single record, that
for the Stewards cup, was beaten. The
Magdalen College four did this in the
heat rowed yesterday.
A. G. McCulloch will be one of Great
Britain's representatives in the Olympic
