Tammany Can Name Bryan's Asso-
ciate If It Desires.

Special From STAFF Correspondent.
DENVER, COL, July 1O.-When the tired
and sleepy delegates began to get around
this morning after three hours sleep and
a big cigar, they were confronted with a
vice presidential situation just as mixed
as 1t has ever been.
The only obvious fact in the. situation
was that Tammany can name the Vice
President if it will. and that Tammany Is
very reluctant to do so. Before the day
Is over Boss Murphy may change his
mind. but his present disposition Is hands
of. He wants Bryan to take the whole
thing, now that he has started. horns
hoofs and hide. Mr.. Bryan, for his part,
would prefer that the convention show
some interest in the game, now that he is
assured of the stakes.
Really, it IS case of After you, my
dear Alphonse.''
The leading names today are John W.
Kern Indiana; Judge Gaynor; Brooklyn.
and John Mitchell. Illinois.
Ollie James says he is absolutely out
of consideration for the vice presidency
He has his eye on the speakership in
case of democratic victory.
Mr.. Bryan desires the contest to be
fought out on the floor of the convention,
SO as to give a semblance of healthy
party rivalry.
The convention meets at 3 o'clock.
Washington time. and will go to work at
once on the vice presidential nomination
II 1t is not settled before by agreement

UTICA. N. Y, July lot is stated to-
day for James S. Sherman. the repub-
lican nominee for Vice President, that
no determination has been made as to
when he will undergo an operation. His
physician visits him twice daily and Is
carefully observing his condition. Mr..
Sherman is permitted to spend about
two hours each day with his secretary
in going over his correspondence. and
the remainder of the time his physi-

cuperated more slowly than at any
previous attack, and his condition is
such that it would not permit any great
strain. While 1t is admitted that he will
ultimately have to be operated on for
the trouble. 1t will not be until he has
gained strength.

WILL BOLT BRYAN.
Democrat, Formerly Senator,
Gives Assurance to President.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, July 1O.-secre
tary Loeb said this afternoon that Presi
dent Roosevelt received a letter today
from a democrat who at one time was q
United States senator, in which the
writer tells the President tina: he intends
to support the republican presidential
ticket this year.
President Roosevelt has received an in
vitation to be the guest of Camp Dawson
of the Arctic Brotherhood. at the Alaska
Yukon-Paciic exposition, which will be
held in Seattle next year. The invitation
IL unique. being engrossed on white skins
and containing half a dozen beautiful pho
tographs Of hunting scenes and landscapes
in Alaskan territory. The flags Of the
United States and Of Great Britain orna-
ment the head Of the invitation. and un-
der these flags Is the motto:
mo boundary line here"
1t is improbable that the President will
be able to accept the invitation of the
Alaskans to be their guest owing to his
proposed hunting trip in Africa.

Uniform Speed Of Cruisers

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
In one thing the cruisers added to the
feet in the last three or four years show
decided advance upon those that are
but very little older; it is in the way
they keep up their speed. On the way
home from Arosa bay last week end the
Drake averaged nearly twenty-four
knots an hour. the Devonshire more than
twenty-five knots and the Carnavon twen-
ty-three knots on their full speed trials.
for which the vessels were designed, and
was very good performance for ships
that have been good time in commission.
One does not need long memory to re-
call the time when q cruiser that could
consistently maintain her full contract
speed when steaming under ordinary serv-
Ice conditions was regarded a. Q marvel.

Birthplace Of Icebergs.

From the St Nicholas.
We might call Greenland the worlds ice
box. II you glance at the map you will
see that the state Of New York, large as
it seems to us. is not over one-twentieth
of the size Of Greenland. for New York
contains only 1900 square miles. Then
think that the glaciers are steadily NOV
ing away from the center of Greenland,
really being crowded out Of the island. 1t
will not seem SO strange that here is the
birthplace of nearly all the icebergs that
are so feared by the mariner.
