Denver. June 27.-The distribution
of tickets to the democratic natlo1lal
convention promises to develop into a
serious problem for the members or
the national committee and officers OF
the convention. There is a tremend-
8ous demand for admission tickets, and
every incoming mail adds to the pres
sure and increases the perplexity OF
the men who are to dispense the sld-
missions. From present indications 1t
seems as tho every party man in this
and all adjoining states, expects to at
tend all the sessions and wishes tick
cts for himself and party of friends
every time. The national convention
Is more of q novelty here than in Chi
cago, and interest in It outside OF po-
licaI quarters Is keen and universal
This afternoon, the subcommittee
ON arrangements is holding a session
at which the officers Of the convention
will be named. That Of temporary
chairman is giving the most concern
and In the gossip every day are freely
mentioned the names of Theodore A.
Bell, Of California: H. D. Clayton, of
Alabama; Free p. Morris, of Illinois;
Governor Folk, Of Missouri, and Jud-
son p. Harmon, Of Cincinnati, as
prominent possibilities to fill that I'M
portant position. Friends of Bell OUT
side Of members of the committee,
seemed to be confident that he would be
named, but there was also strong
rumor to the effect that his name had
been dropped. Clayton was strongly
favored, and II he l. not nominated
temporary presiding officer. 1t seems
possible that he might be given the
gavel when the permanent officers are
named It is said in some quarters
that Bryan would be pleased with Bell
and Clayton for the chairmanship, be-
ing willing that either man shall fill
either position.
Such Johnson men as are on the
ground, expressed themselves today as
being greatly cheered by the reports
they are receiving from the east to
the effect that Bryan would not be able
to control the votes from there. The
Bryan people, ON the other hand, mere
" laughed and asserted that all oppo-
sition to their man will not total more
than 125 votes.

Seeming Proof Found of coIlusion
Among Various Companies.

Among various mJdNIeSs
Chicago, June 27.-Special agents of
the postoffice department and other
federal officials are investigating the
amazing high finance tangle of the
Rhodus brothers and their associates.
They will have the assistance of the
attorneys for the complaining stock
holders of the Central Life Securities
company in gathering data as TO the
operations of the Rhoduses in all their
corporations. Evidence in connection
with the Mercantile Finance company,
the Nina Grande Mining company, and
the Nina Grande Gold Mining COM
pany will be given to the district at
torneys office.
The determination Of the federal au-
thorities to sift the maze to the bot
tom resulted from the evidence Of
colllusion among the various compan-
les. The investigators were con-
fronted yesterday with seeming proof.
Books of various agency companies
of the Republic Life Insurance COM
pany which were turned over to Re-
ceiver Fetzer by order of the court, are
not what they purport to be. For sew
eral days the receivers attorney, Weis-
senbach has suspected that the books.
apparently new, tho showing entries as
far back as December, are not the
original books of the companies, but
have been prepared especially for pre-
sentation in court.

RAISE MIDDLE WEST RATES.

Eastern Roads Announcing Proposgs'
Increase Effective August I.
Chicago, June 27.-Eastern railroads
have announced the first of their pro-
posed increase in rates, effective Aug.
/. The announcement is that the rates
In what are known as classes ''B," &c"
and 3D." which include some of the
heavier tonnage commodities, will be
advanced from 2 to cents a hun
dred pounds from all Ohio and Missis-
sippi river crossings to the southeas-
tern territory and the interior Missis-
sippi river valley. No notice iof corr
responding increases from the seaboard
to the southeast has been given.
BY this omission therefore, the dis
elimination against Chicago and the
middle west and in favor OF the sea-
board to the markets Of the southeast
has been included. The increases are
taken to mean that the railroads have
not abandoned their purposes of gen
eral advances in rates, but that they
are trying to accomplish their pur-
pose piecemeal in order nor to arouse
the opposition Of the shipper.
