PRIVATE LIFE
 FOR MIR. TAFT
The Succession Yesterday
 of General Wright
There Has Been No Settle ment of the National Craftsmanship.

Washington, July 1.-After long con- ference this afternoon between the re- publican presidential nominee and Ar thur I. V0rys. of Columbus, Ohio, MT. Taft said: You can say absolutely and definitely that the chairmanship of the republican national committee has not yet been settled. No an nouneement of a decision will be made until after I have conferred at Hot Springs. Va, next Wednesday with the subcommittee of the national committee. I hope this is sufficiently definite and that my statement will be accepted"
 At the conclusion of the conference today neither Taft nor VOrys would make any statement concerning the details. Vorys went to New York to- night and will thence go directly to Columbus, arriving there on Friday.
 This was Taft's first day as pri- vate citizen in many years. His res ignation as secretary of war became effective last night, and for. twelve hours the American government today was without a secretary of war. Prior to the formal induction into office of Governor Wright today, Taft had a long consultation with him and with officials of the war department about departmental. affairs.
 Wright took the oath as secretary of war in the secretary's reception room just at noon in the presence Of many distinguished officials of the war de- pertinent and personal friends. Taft was the first to grasp his hand and wish him well after the brief simple ceremony.
 The Taft family, with the exception of Miss Helen Taft, who left today on a visit to friends in Georgia were guests at dinner tonight of Assistant

The discussion of the platform con- tinues to be largely confined to the
 anti injunction plank. On this sub ject the latest information from Lin coin regarding Bryan's attitude to- ward that portion of the resolution, was brought by Frank J. Monett. former attorney general of Ohio. who arrived at Denver with the announce ment that Bryan desired him to ad- dress the resolutions committee on the legal phases of the anti-i injunction plank. Monett is personally in favor of strong utterance on the subject. He conferred with Bryan yesterday.
 Roger C. Sullivan. national commit teeman from Illinois tonight announc- ed that his state might have candi- date for the ce-presidency in John Mitchell Sullivan said that Mitchell would not be declared a candidate un- less he was willing to make the race for the nomination. If he should be a candidate he would have the solid backing of Illinois. which would make a strong fight for him. The matter will be determined after Mitchell's ar rival on Monday.

BISn0PP0TERS'SDEAIH
 A MATTER OF HOURS
Not the Slightest Hope of a Favorable Termination Is Afforded.

CooperstOwn. July 1.-Bishop Henry Goldman Potter, of the Protestant Epis- cOpal diocese of New York, tonight is near deaths door. Bulletins issued by physicians during the day related in brief the aged clergyman's steadily de- ereasinS vitality. In no case did the doctors hold out a hope of a favorable termination of the bishops illness In the last statement tonight they indi- cated that the end was slowly ap- preaching But the means taken to keep the patients strength have been in a measure efficacious and it is be- lieved late tonight that the bishop still has sufficient vitality to carry him through the night
 One factor in helping the sick man pass a fairly comfortable day was the cooler weather which prevailed The bishop remained conscious throughout the day and in his communication with those about him in the sick room he has been invariably cheerful He remains free from pain. To his cher fitness and courage his physicians at tribute much of the remarkable resist ance to the course Of the disease which he is displaying

AN ACTIVE CANDIDATE.
Charles A. Towns Makes a Personal
 Call oa Bryan.

Lincoln, July 1.-Charles A. Towne, cratic nomination for vice president. as well as an old time personal friend of Bryan, stepped off here for the eX- press purpose of discussing vice pres idential politics with the latter. Bryan was expecting him and for half an hour they remained closeted.
 Towne admitted to newspaper men that his candidacy. as well as the platform formed the main topic of the conversation. New York is the logi- cal state to furnish the vice presider- tial nominee" said Towne.
 What will be done with the anti injunction plank at Denver?" Towne was asked
 Tt should be 2 strong one, one that does not edge. The laboring men will be protected"
 Previous to Towne's visit Bryan practically set at rest, temporarily at least. the reports that he favored Towne -sEtCXt
 "Towne is quoted as stating that you sometime ago assured him that he would be acceptable to you; is that true2" Bryan was asked.
 He meant that l was favorable to them" said Bryan with a stress on the last word. A wave of his arm in dicated the galaxy of favorite sons whose names have been mentioned in connection with the nomination of a running mate.

CHAMPION G0TCH
 RETAINS HIS TITLE
He Put Down a Good Man Last
 Night in Dr.. Roller.

Seattle, July Frank GOtch of Humboldt, Iowa. maintained his right to the worlds catch-as- catch can wrestling championship tonight when he outclassed Dr. B. F. Roller of Seattle, winning two consecutive falls in fifteen minutes and twenty-five seconds and twenty-five minutes and fifty -four seconds respectively.
 The men entered the ring weighing close to 200 each. Roller may have been a pound or two the heavier. They went at it like bulls from the very start, Gotch not forcing matters He worked his notorious toe hold six times in succession in the first bout. Roller broke away each time but it wore on him and finally Gotch downed him with a crotch and a half Nelson.
 Roller did better work in the sec ond bout, but Gotch went from hold to hold with startling rapidity. Roll CTS best work in this round was to break a half Nelson and crotch after he had seemingly lost. He was fin ally picked up and dumped to his shoulders from the same hold. It is doubtful if he was really downed but it was only a question of minutes anyway, as he was at Gotch's mercy

JohnsOn's Manager Confidently Predicts
 the Success of the MinnesOtan
So Far There Appears to be no Combination Against the Peerless One--The Anti-InjunctiOn Plank Re- mains the Center Interest.

Denver, July 1.-Claiming victory on the first ballot, but overlooking no possible chance to make his triumph sure. the followers of Bryan have been watching for any move of the rivals that may compel him to go single handed against the field, as Taft was obliged to show his strength in the early stages of the Chicago convention against the combined forces of the allies" The arrival today, however, of the personal representatives of Judge Gray and Governor Johnson, the only candidates now expected to enter the lists against Bryan, failed to disclose any common ground or agree ment between them.
 Gray's managers asserts that they had no intention of entering into a coalition with the followers of Johnson and have not received from them or made to them overtures from a com binatiOn. The same disclaimer was made by the Johnson people, They said they had no other object in view but the nomination of Johnson.
 The followers of Bryan profess to believe that the refusal of the Gray and Johnson men to make a combined fight against the strength of Bryan means that they are not averse to oc- cupying positions in which they can avail themselves of Bryan votes for second place in the event of his nomi- nation for presidency. On this point however. both the managers of John son and Gray insist that the Bryan people are wrong. Their men, they say are out for the first place, giving no consideration to the vice presiden cy.
 Mayor LaWler. of St. Paul. now here declared that all talk of Johnson talk ing second place on the ticket is utter nonsense. L4awler is not prepared to discuss the platform or the vice presi- dential situation. He was however emVlatic in his statement that he eX- poets Johnson to be nominated.
 "I do not believe" he said, that any nomination will be made on the structed delegates, in fact more than one third of the convention is un- pledged. We look for Johnson to make an excellent showing on the first ballot and steadily gain strength from that time until he is nominated. We do not expect many ballots will be necessary"
 The Johnson headquarters will be formally opened tomorrow. The Gray headquarters were in full swing today under the direction of Josiah Marvel of Wilmington. and R J. Beamish, of Philadelphia. No definite time has yet been set for the opening the head quarters of Bryan.

PLENTY Or MONEY
 BUT NO DEMAND
A Condition in the Stock Market Un-
 precedent in Years.

New York, July 1.-The new fiscal year opened upon the financial dis trict in condition of profound apathy so far as it was reflected on the se
 curities market. The July dividend interest disbursement in New York are estimated in the neighborhood of $1SO,000.000 yet so heavy is the sur felt of funds in the money market and so feeble the demand for facilities from borrowers that these eXtraordin- ary requirements have done nothing more than to stiffen the call for mon- ey rate temporarily Money rates are now lower than at any period since the summer of 1904. The record must go back four years further for any parallel for the low level of activity in stocks today. Bonds are irregular.

LAST YEAR
 ALL RIGHT As Looked at From U. $.
 Treasury
But the New Fiscal Period
 Starts With a Handicap.

Washington, July 1.-From the treasury standpoint the fiscal year
 just closed has been a most satis-
 factory one. Since the middle of October last, when the period of the money stringency set in and the con sequent depression of business began he felt there has been a constant failing off in government revenues up to the month just closed.
 For June a surplus is shown of nearly $4,O00,00 This fact, how ever, is not significant as June is unfailingly a surplus month, largely due to the fact that it is the clos ing month of the fiscal year when appropriations gradually reach the point of exhaustion. The month of June 1907, showed a surplus of ap- S11OOO,OOO and every June for many years past has shown large surpluses.
 As the month Of June uniformly shows a surplus, the month of July as certainly shows a deficit. Nearly all the appropriations will begin to be available on the first of July and this year the treasury officials are looking forward to a deficit larger than usual. and while they are not willing at this time to express an opinion of it's size, it is believed that S20. .000,0 900 for the month would be n conservative estimate, the chance being that it will be considerably larger than that. The amount of cash now in the treasury vaults available to meet expenditures is about $70,O00,O00. In addition there Is on deposit with national banks about s153, ,S44. 900. which at all times Is subject to call by the Secretary.
 A considerable portion of this sum Is likely to be called into the treas ury within the next few days. While Secretary Cortelyou has not indicat- ed his purpose as to the amount it Is thought that it will be less than S50, ,000, 900.

WHOEVER II MAY BE
 NOT FRANK B. KELLOGG
One Name Eliminated From the Ma tional Committeemanship Matter.

New York, July 1.-After a day of gossip concerning the chairmanship of the republican national committee. it was learned definitely tonight that Frank B. Kellogg is out of the race in which he. indeed, had never vol untarily taken part. There were ru- mors throughout the day that Kel- logg had been decided upon and the fact that he took luncheon with President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill was construed as strengthening the report.
 When seen at a hotel tonight Kel- lOgg had nothing to say regarding the report, but it was learned that dur ing the conference at Oyster Bay this afternoon in which the president, Mr. Kellogg and National Committeeman Wm. Ward of New York participated and again tonight when Kellogg and Ward met Elmer Dover, the secretary of the national committee, at the Waldorf Astoria. Kellogg's name was considered. Kellogg however succeed ed in impressing upon his political friends that his name must not be further considered for the chairman ship. Kellogg's position as counsel for the government iH the Standard Oil and other prosecutions was held by him to be sufficient to preclude his selection as manager of Taft's campaign.
 The members of the subcommittee are still considering the availability of many candidates for the chair manship and it can be confidently said that no open tender of the posi- tion has been made to any one and will not, until it is ascertained that such a selection will be satisfactory to all the members of the national committee.
