HITCHCOCK TO BE CHOSEN
Taft's Manager Will Be Elected to
 Craftsmanship To-day.

Hot Springs, Va. July 7--The exec utiye committee of the republican na- tlona committee will meet here to- morrow, and, from the present indl- cations there will only be q brief ses- sion, at which Frank II. Hitchcock will be elected chairman and Repre- sentative Mckinley, of Illinois, will be made treasurer of the national com mittee.
 Senator Heminway and Representa- tive Watson, of Indiana, representing the Fairbanks section; Representative Mckinley, of Illinois. who has had charge of the Cannon campaign, and Representative Burke, of Pennsylva- mia, who represented the Knox can didacy, say that they have no objec- tions to Hitchcock.
 In the case of Mir. Mckinley there is but one sentiment, and that is in his favor for the office of treasurer. MT. Mckinley has long been considered for the treasureship, but as he is treas- urer of the congressional committee, it was for some time supposed that the opposition to have him leave that work would operate against his selec- ton. But that objection has been overcome by the proposition that he should be treasurer of both commit tees

CLAIM MANY RECRUITS

Denver, July 7.-The possibility of n revolt by delegates not in sympathy with the Bryan control of the demo- cratic national convention, against the parliamentary practices employed by officers of the convention to-day in sending the Pennsylvania controversy to the committee on credentials Is the hope left to the allied opposition to Bryan's nomination. This opposition is proceeding on the belief that the committee on credentials will report against the contester delegates from Philadelphia in favor of the election of Col. James NJ. Guffey for national committeeman, in which event a min ority report will be made. The first test of antI-Bryan strength therefore, will occur over the adoption of the report of the committee on credentials and it promises to be the bitterest of the conventiom Should t be decided against the Bryan men, some of whom have announced purpose to "rail- road" the Pennsylvania leader out of the party in accordance with the ex- pressed wish of the Nebraska candi- date. unquestionably it will encourage the opposition to Mir. Bryan to re- newed efforts to defeat him for the presidential nomination. No sooner had the convention adjourned to-day than the anti-Bryan men began to gather to discuss the situation. At several of these informal conferences the concensus of opinion vas that the Guffey- Bryan fight furnished an issue on which the anti-Bryan men could take their stand and supplied the ralylng ground that has ,een needed in order to concentrate their forces
 It was asserted by anti Bryan men to- night that the refusal to-day of Tenn porary Chairman Bell to recognize the demaSd of Guffey men for a roll-call on the question of sending the Penn. sylvana case to the credential com. mittee has brought to them many re- cruits, and that these added to the force that has been against Mir.

OLD HOUSE DESTROYED
Columbus Avenue Fire Eliminates
 Quite Brilliantly.

Fire of an unknown origin de- stroyed small one family old house at sos Columbus avenue last night, owned by Pasquale Valente. Fire was discovered about quarter to 10 and a still alarm sent in to company No. 1. But another person who saw the fire, too, decided that 1t was too much for a chemical to take care of and turned in an alarm from box 143 a comparatively new box that has proved very popular in it's short time of service. The house is an anti ouated deserted place In which the windows and outside trimmings had been taken away, and in fact was a place of comparatively little value. It was completely destroyed. For a time the fire lit up the sky quite brilliantly and many wondered wheth- CT or not 1t was some large fire that had started The loss will probably not exceed $500,

DEMONSTRATION FOR BRYAN

Denver, July With cheers from ten thousand throats. with the swell of political oratory and the inspiring spectacle of vast multitude of peo- pie. the democratic national conven- ton began Its deliberations to-day, The session, lasting a little over two hours. was notable for its impressi 'e magnitude and spectacular effects rather than for the businpss accom- plished. It gave. however, the op- portunity for the awakening echoes of convention enthusiasm, ;he keynote speech Of the temporary presiding oiii- cer, Theodore A. Bell of California, a heated sklrmish incidental to the con test in the Pennsylvania delegation, and finally a unanimous tribute of homage and respect to the memory of the late Grover Cleveland. But the enthusiasm of the opening session was comparatively brief, intermittent and tempestuous without that long sus- taired and frenSied clamor which is still reserved for the future.
 The day was devoted chiefly. to the primary formalitles, and the commit tees appointed are now at work per fecting the permanent organization tc lbe presented tomorrow.
 The initial outburst of enthusiasm came just as the session was opening when silken banner bearing the DOT. trait of Bryan was displayed Immedl, ately there was q storm of wild ap plause. which died away after half a minute of explosive demonstrations The appesrnce of the temporary pre- siding officer, Bell of California, was another sign for an enthusiastic out burst.

MUST GET LICENSES
Chief Cowles to Issue Them to Vendors at His Office
 day.
NEW ORDINANCE IN EFFECT
Chief Announces Prices Which Will Be Charged for Residents
 Permits.

Chief Cowles of the police depart ment will this morning start to Issue the new licenses for vendors and peddlers of all kinds In this city which the ordinance passed by the aldermen ,last month and effective June 2S, calls for. The licenses have just been pre- pared and by the end of the week all those who expect to do any business without being arrested will be expect ed to have their licenses. The chief looks forward to a very busy day to- day as large number of those who wish licenses will probably be on hand at once.
 Just to show how comprehensive the ordinance is and what lines of business are included under 1t here Is list of some of the lines which must be licensed henceforth or suffer the penalty of the law. With the list ap- pears the license fee decided on for each line so far as this had been de- cided upon last night. This of course refers to resident peddlers only, as all vendors and peddlers from out of town will be licensed at fee which is discretionary with the chief of the police department and in all cases may range from 50 cents to $25. Here is the list which Chief Cowles has made out.
 Vegetables, wagon. s5.
 Ice. s5.
 Coal. s5.
 Candy and ice cream. s1. Fruit. $1.
 Peanuts and fruit. $1.
 Peanuts and popcorn. 30 cents.
 Collar buttons. 50 cents. Shoe strings. 50 cents | Dry goods. S5.
 Rugs. $5.
 Household goods such as carpets, and other household supplies. s10.
 Feather dusters, slippers. shoes, | each. $1.
 1 Cutlery and other light hard ware. $1.
 Toys, books, and so forth at figure not yet decided upon.
 The question as to whether the or dinance included agents canvassing for books is one that has not been settled i The idea of the ordinance is to place under the control of the chief of the police department all the peddlers and vendors about the city 50 that they may be kept in their place and suc- cessfully handled, Everyone in the business of peddling or vending about the city should get his license as soon as possible as there will probably be prosecutions for failure to do so as soon as reasonable time has elapsed i for obtaining the permits.

Although relief from the intense heat which this city and the larger part of the United States has been suffering for weeks, is promised for today, there was no perceptible cooling off of the atmosphere up to an early hour this morning and conditions still seemed good for continuation of the terrific neat of the past month. A western storm is scheduled to swing over this way today and showers were the pro became clouded up early in the evening and few drops of rain did come down they were as few as on Saturday night and were immediately followed by clear weather and the same heat waves pre- vailed. Early last evening q breeze sprang up that was somewhat cooling and 1t looked as if relief had actually arrived, but 1t did not make good. A few degrees drop in temperature were recorded on the glasses, but this was almost imperceptible to the sufferers. l Meanwhile conditions get worse and worse. The strain of the long continu- ance of the heated term Is beginning to tell and people are becoming more af- | fected each day The first recorded lprostration occurred Monday and yes terday there were a couple more. While at work in Sargent's shop, William ! Breen of 13 Warren street was over. come and had to be taken 10 the New Haven hospital. He was reported in comfortable condition last night An other prostraton occurred in one of the gun shops of the city, but the mar recovered in short time. As q result of the heat several of the local fac tories shut down for part of the day yesterda.

BARGAIN MADE FOR MCNEIL
fspcclnI to the Jourhal-courier.l

Denver. July 7.-Connecticut will give way to Minnesota in the roll call for states for the nominations for President which will permit tho Johnson men to put their man In nomination directly after Mir. Bryan Is named. In return for this concession the Johnson man- agers have guaranteed to throw Johns sons entire strength to Senator Archi- bald McNeil, of Connecticut for vices president.
 This proposition was made and ac- cepted after fine fight had developed at the caucus of the Connecticut dele- gatIon held at It's headquarters at tho hotel this morning. Three of the six Bryan members of the delegation led by Col. Alexander Troup of New Ha- ven, refused to accept such proposi- ton and declared that 1t meant the hamstringing of McNeil. The Johnson men had been working like beavers to get Connecticut's place on the roll. Connecticut being sixth in the list of states.
 When the men from Connecticut were held up by the Nebraska flood, the Johnson men. tried every means to reach them and to see if they would agree to this proposition, but failed. When the fourteen delegates finally caucused this morning, Dr. Henry Me. Manus of Hartford. who had been lead- Ing the fight for Johnson in the Nut- meg State, made the proposition of the Johnson men known and urged its acc ceptance. He said that he had had talk with Manager Lynch of the Johnson boom and that Lynch had giv- en a pledge that every Johnson vote in the convention would be given to Me- Nell. He said that Lynch had as.uf- ed him that there would be from 2,1 to 300 votes for Johnson which could be thus delivered Dr. McManus declar- ed that Johnson was the nan who could carry Connecticut and that the people of the state were for him. But even If Johnson did not land .,e nom- ination, he went on 70 say, the Johnson votes for McNei would make nim rho leading candidate for the Nce-p-esi- dential nomination along with the tth- CT New England states which would Vote for him.
 The Bryan men in the delegation are for McNeil, along with the Johnson men. After McManus had made his speech to the delegates. National Com- mitteeman Cummings, who is claimed for Bryan, although he has not an- nounced himself as yet, said that tho Bryan men had requested that Connec- ticut yield to North Carolina so that
