DELEGATES AT DENVER.
Streets of the Colorado Metropolis Are Thronssd With the Men Who Will Neminats Democratic Candidates For Natien's Highest Offices.

Denver, July 7.-The convention throngs poured into the city by every train Sunday. It was a noisy, bolster ous Sunday, with bands escorting ar irving delegations through the streets, with steadily swelling crowds in the hotels, and with leaders and delegates buttonholing the new arrivals and hold ing private conferences on candidates and measures. Most of the leaders, and more than half the delegates are now here, and the tide of humanity which comes to look and cheer is now in full movement toward the city. The weather Is almost perfect; warm, but ont unbearable, with ac lear sky and brisk mountain air, just the sort of weather to bring comfort to con. vention.
 Many of the delegates embraced the opportunity of Sunday Hull for trip to the nearby Rockies; others have enjoyed the more exciting diversion of tournaments wher broncho busters are presenting a picture of real western life. Sunday night the crowds turned to the splendid auditorium, where the convention will be held. The vast

amphitheater was lighted and open to the public for the first time for a band concert, and the brilliant scene within the enclosure, hung with flags and packed to it's full capacity, sug. fested the throngs which will soon gather for the convention struggles
 A unique feature of the evening was the experience of Charles A. Towne of New York in the pulpit of the Peoples Tabernacle.
 While these outward evidences of activity have been going on the lead. CTS who are shaping the affairs of the coming gathering have been holding frequent meetings in the upper cham bers of the hotels arranging their final plans.
 Among the new arrivals were the Cook County Marching club of Chica- ga, uniformed and hilarious, with trim black suits, shining silk hats and nat ty canes topped with stearemrs. Aft CT them came the rough and ready Ok lahomans. the products of the soil, with broad-brimmed sombreros ana the stain of travel.

AGENCIES ACTIVE.
Neutrality Violations Are Being
 Looked For.

Washington, July 7.-All agencies of the government are at work through official sources endeavoring to obtain evidence of violation of neutrality laws on the Mexican border preceding and following the raid at Las Vacas. Dispatches, however, which have come to the government reiterate the diff ficulty of obtaining any satisfactory and conclusive evidence through the unwillingness of those who know to make admissions.
 Actively at work are officials of the department of justice of the Western district of Texas and the military com mander at Del Rio, near which place an invasion is said to have taken place, and aid is being given them by the collector of customs there and oth- CT government representatives.

"Nothinq But Bryan Men,"

Lincoln, Neb., July 7.-Enthusiasm unbounded was in evidence when the Kings county delegations train rolled in. Our people wanted to see Lincoln if we had to sit up all night said Her. man Metz, comptroller of Greater New York and spoken of by Mayor Dahl man, for the vice-presidential nomina- ation. Our people generally are for Bryan if the rest of the convention wants him. One remarkable thing l noticed on the trip west is the senti- ment which seems crystalized for the Nebraskan We met nothing but Bryan men, and if nominated the chances that he will win seem to me very fine" There are seventy-one in the Kings county delegation.
 Most of the Johnson men were up when they reached the city, and sev- eral members of the Bryan reception committee which had gone to meet the Kings county, greeted the Johnson fol lowers with shout. The train stop ped twenty minutes, during which time it developed some Bryan senti- ment existed even in Minnesota.
 Governor Burke of North Dakota, an ardent Bryan supporter, was on the train and hoped to see Mr Bryan.

Presidential Nomination Fir.t-

Denver, July 7.-The question of the selection of candidate on the Demo cratic ticket for the vice presidency will not be determined until after a nomination of candidate for the presidency. This is the decree of MT. Bryan. and has been communicat. ed to the Bryan leaders. MT. Bryan mas taken the position that not until after the first position has been filled can there be really intelligent selec- tion for the second place.
 When the nomination shall have been made. and there shall be an o. portunity to consider it's effect upon the country at large, then he thinks. and not until then, can the vice pres. idency be intelligently considered, This desire on the part of Mir. Bryan has been received generally with fa- vor. Most of the delgates agree that the situation can be sized up to better advantage after the first selection has been completed than before that event: :: and furthermore, there has been so much talk regarding the vice presi- dency that most of the delegates vel. come an excuse for at least tempora. rily dropping the subject. The pres ent disposition. therefore, is not only to postpone the selection of vice presidential candidate until after the nomination for first place, but to ad. journ the convention long enough to permit a general exchange of views among the leaders, and to give the presidential nominee an opportunity to express his preference.

Murphy Has Conferences.

Denver, July 7.-Leader Murphy of Tammany had number of confer ences Sunday with arriving delegations from all parts of the country, most of them having to do with the position New York state is to take regarding certain features of the platform.
 Former Governor Thomas of Cobra do called to say that if strong anti injunction plank is adopted it will wipe the Democratic party off the face of the map in this state. Memmebrs of the contesting delegations from Idaho also called on Mir. Murphy, asking for support. Noncommittal, as always, MT. Murphy said he could not state his position to the delegations at this time as to contests.
 Expectation of Action.
 Denver, July 7.-Expectation of def. nite action, in place of conjecture, con- corning some at least of the pending questions marked the opening Monday among the delegates to the Democratic national convention. The program for Monday included caucuses of many state delegations, some of them likely to have weighty significance even as affecting the presidential nomination itself, and the beginning of work by the national committee on several con- tests which, while not likely to affect final results, might involve the expen- diture of time sufficient to delay the work of the convention.
