To RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEES.

Denver, Col. July 7.-Instead OF
bringing voluminous platform
from his homo town. Mayor +. w.
Brown. OF Lincoln. reached Denver
late Monday evening with an outline
OF SIX or seven planks. This outline
represents the views on that many
questions OF Mr.. Bryan. II have
number OF suggestions OF MIR. Bryan
which he asked me to lay before the
committed on resolutions" said
Mayor Brown. shortly after his ar
rival. These subjects naturally
represent what MIR. Bryan is more
Interested In, but what they are Y
cannot tell you. | shall do as Mr..
Bryan suggested and turn them over
to the resolutions committee wher
the proper time comes" While
saying that the planks came direct
from Lincoln. Mayor Brown de-
clined to indicate what they were or
what form they were furnished. AS
matter or fact. they wore care
fully prepared and were turned over
to Governor Chas. N. Haskell, of
Oklahoma. who is slated ms the
Bryan candidate for the chairman
ship Of the resolutions committee.
Later In the evening Gov. Haskell
admitted that the planks had been
received from Mayor Brown. All
Is In readiness for tho first session
OF the Democratic national conven-
tion provided Temporary Chairman
Bell gets here In time to be proper
ly introduced by National Chairman
Taggart. Mr.. Bells dilema In real
ly one OF the most unique features
OF the convention aside from the
nfty-seven varieties OF vice presiden-
tlal candidates and Il gave the ma
tional committeeman no little con-
Germ until the Hearst News Service
gave Secretary Woodson the news
that by the use OF handcar the
temporary chairman had broken tho
Lincoln maroon and was on his way
to Denver. II he has good luck and
good run he will get here In tlmo
to perform his functions. If not
the idea Is now TO call the conven-
tion to order on time and then
spend an hour or so or as much
time as is necessary with marching
clubs and the like 80 that Mr.. Bell
may have an opportunity TO arrive.
The Johnson boom has been revived
and the Gray boom Is little more
active. THE resolutions commit
tee will give Judge Parker n re-
spectful hearing" remarked one
Bryan delegate last night. "and will
then quietly. but firmly place tho
New York platform I'm the waste
basket and write n declaration Of
principles which will represent the
sentiment OF the party" There Is
no reason TO anticipate single
hitch In the arrangements.

fore the subcommittee. he became
so abusive OF the Murphy and Coler
men that he was not permitted to
proceed and the meeting was alb
ruptly adjourned with the decision
to take no further action on the
contests. The full committee sus-
tanned this action without debate.
In the District of Columbia con
test. where the entire delegation of
six members was involved, the com
mittee divided the seats between the
two contesting parties. The faction
headed by w. NICK. Clayton which
held the credentials got four seats,

BY the Authorities.
exPLootEs ROMANTIC STORY
Witnesses Had Testified That Casket
Contained a TWo-Hundred Pound
Roll Of Lead.

London, Dec. 31.-The body OF
Thomas Charles bruce in Highgate
cemetery was exhumed just forty
ihree years to day after its burial.
The coffin was found to contain the
remains of human body, thus ex-
ploding the romantic tale Of Robert
G. Caldwell and others, who swore
during the recent hearing Of the
bruce perjury case that it contained
q roll Of lead.
The official statement given out by
representatives Of the home Office and
others. who were officially present at
the exhumation, not only definitely
dtsposes Of the lead myth but seems
effectively to prove that the body bur-
nd ii 1864 was actually that Of T. G.
bruce. The authorized statement fol-
lows: 49,.
"The coffin was opened and found

"a man: TIE plate on the coffin bore
the name Thomas Charles Druce.'
All the entrances to the cemetery
were surrounded by eordons Of police.

from the home office were admitted to
The grounds. George Hollamby Druce
who claims he is the rightful heir to

estate. tried twice to get into the
cemetery, but was met with a stern
refusal.

It's secret after ten years Of legal pro-
ceedings which have cost. all told, a
considerable fortune. A large part of
this money was obtained from servant

George Hollamby Druce against the
estate of the Duke Of Portland.

So large has been the amount
of cutting by Minneapolis mills of
timber this year. from April to the

for the greater part Of 1908, it is said,
has already been filled. In the period
mentioned 100000 feet were cut.
Estimates for the cutting next year
place it at about &c per cent of 1907.
Less than halt the number of men
