BRYAN ON THE FIRST BALLOT
Watterson Says Nebraskan Has
Chance of Election.

Chicago, Il.-"The cardinal rule Of
the Democracy is the rule of the ma
jority," declared Col. Henry Waiter
son today, and to that epigram ex-
preston his opinion of the present can
didacy of Gov. Johnson, whom he first
brought forward for the presidential
nomination more than a year ago, the
Kentucky colonel adueu his r-oI:otivn
that Bryan will be nominated at Denver
by the Democrats next month on the
first ballot and by reclamation.
The Louisville editor is On his way
to pass a couple of days with Mr.. Bryan
at Lincoln, Neb.
''It is hard to look forward from June
to November" said Col. Watterson,
"but l feel that with Bryan we have a
fighting chance this year. l have not
before seen the Democrats so thor
oughly in accord with Bryan's candi-
dacy."

CONFEDERATE REUNION.
Thousands Of tagged and Battle-Scarred
Veterans in Attendance.

Birmingham, Ala.-It is conserve
lively estimated tonight that there are
no less than $4,000 visitors in Birming-
ham attending the annual reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans which
began here today. OF this number it
is thought about 5000 are veterans. In
addition to the first sessions OF the vet
Grams convention, which were held to-
day, there were meetings of the Sons
of Veterans, the Confederate Surgeons
Association, the Confederate Memorial
Association and other organizations
allied to the veterans in one way or an
other.
1t was thought last night hal the
greater part of the convention crowd
had arrived, but every train today has
brought additional hundreds, SO that
the city's capacity for taking care Of
them has been severely taxed.
There was little done at the sessions
of the veterans today, the time being
given over to organization and welcOm-
ing addresses. Tomorrow is probably
the most important day of the reunion.
AT that time O cOmmander-in-chief will
be elected to succeed the late Gen.
Stephen d. Lee, and the place for the
next reunion will be selected. Chatta-
nooga, Atlanta, Memphis and Houston
are the contestants for the next honor,
and it is impossible to determine to-
night which place is most favored.
1t is now believed, though, that Gen.
Clement A. Evans, commander Of the
department of Tennessee, will be elect
ed commander-in-chief of the veterans.
Gen. Cabell's name is still in line, and
Gen. Gordon of Memphis is also a
prominent candidate.
One of the features of the afternoon
was a happy thought Of the visiting
bands. The total membership of all
the visiting bands is probably more
than 200. This afternoon they formed
at Capitol Park and the entire body
marched through the down town streets
playing Dixie" They gathered the
crowd as they marched along, and it de-
velOped into a spontaneous parade,
which was cheered to the echo from
every direction and which made a re-
markable appeal to the sentiment of
every person on the streets.

COL. ROBERT RIVERS DEAD
Southern Veteran and Hotel Man
Passes Away at Louisville.

Louisville, Ky.-Col. Robert Rivers,
IS years of age, a Confederate veteran

lana. When the Civil War broke out

later bought the Pickwick and Royal
in New Orleans, the Battle in Mobile
and the Hotel Rivers in New Jersey.

S15O.OOO GOES UP In SMOKE
Thirty Buildings in New Orleans
Victims of Wind and Blaze.

New Orleans.-A freak wind storm
was tonight responsible for fire Destroy
ing about thirty buildings in the up
town section at Magazine, B rhine xnd
Milan streets. simultaneously with
the outbreak of the fire a high wind
struck the city. 1t blew the fire within
a few minutes nearly all over the block
of it's origin, and swept it across the
street into another block. Several
small stores were destroyed along with
residences, and the loss is estimated at
$50, 600. The block bounded by Maya
zine, Milan, Berline and Camp streets
was nearly all destroyed. Another
block bounded by Magazine, Milan and
Berline and Constance streets was
