SpEER DELEGATION
WINS IN COLORADO
SEATED BY STATE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.

Glenwood Springs; Colo, June 15.-
When the democratic convention re-
convened this afternoon arguments
from representatives from each side
to the democratic contest in which
they claim to recognition were set
forth.
Just as Charles j. Hughes of Den
yer, representing the Speer. faction,
was concluding his remarks, he di-
rectly implied Mr.. Bryan favored the
seating Of their delegation. Imme-
diately former United States Senator
Patterson challenged that statement
and said he had a letter from Mr..
Bryan that disproved the claim. His
offer to read the letter. to the con-
vention was ruled out on a point Of
order.
The roll was then called on a ma
jority report of the credentials com
mittee, and the vote resulted ayes
425, hayes 100, thus seating the speer
delegation.
The convention then made the tenn
porary organization permanent and.
adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow.
The resolutions committee has adopt
ed strong introductions for Bryan.
They will also present a resolution
calling for a reorganization Of the
state committee an an election Of a
new chairman. This will undoubted-
" meet with strong opposition in the
convention.

HUGHES WILL NOT Be QUOTED.

Willing to Permit New York Delega-
tlon 70 Act Without Suggestion.
Albany. June 15.-Governor Hughes
refused today to discuss for quotation
the developments at the national re-
publican convention at Chicago.
He made 1t clear, however, that he
would not request that his name be
withdrawn from the presidential race
and that he will not interfere In any
way with the deliberations Of the
New York state delegates. He holds
that these delegates were sent to Chi
cago to represent their constituents
and whatever action they take they
are responsible for to the constit.
uency.
The governor believes his position.
towards the vice presidency is thor.
oughly understood.

BILLINGS CLERGYMAN PAssEN-
GER ON BOARD QUEEN.
COLLISION IN DENSE FOG
Writes Of Accident 10 Friends Ia This
city-Was Crossing the English
channel-seven Hundred Passen-
gers Have Marrow Escape.

In a letter dated London and writ
ten to friends in this city, Rev. B. q.
Mccullough, formerly pastor Of the
Presbyterian church In this city, who
IS at present travelling abroad, tells
of a collision to the steamer Queen
on which he was q passenger across
the English channel. He encloses a
clipping from London Daily News de-
failing the accident.
Following is the clipping:
The SOUTHEASTERN and Chatham
Railway company's turbine steamers
Onward and Queen collided with each
other in the fog whilst crossing the
Channel yesterday, and some 700 pas
sengers had a fortunate escape. Both
vessels were engaged on the midday
service, the Onward having left Folke-
stone at noon and the Queen having
started from Boulogne at the same
hour. On the English side of the
Channel the weather was clear, but as
the Onward drew nearer to the French
coast it passed into q dense mist.
The crash occurred in a fog cloud
when the vessels were about ten miles
from Boulogne. The sister ships were
almost in contact before each was
aware Of the nearness Of the other.
The man perched in the ~forecastle
head Of the Onward on the lookout
had not sufficient warning to get out
Of dangers way, and the poor fellow
vas struck on the head with fearful
force, and died In the course Of a few
minutes His name was Holdstock,
and he belonged to Dover.
Lifcbelts Served Out.
The bow Of the Queen struck the
Onward on the port bow, and passing
along toward the center sheared a8tre-
mendous hole in her side many feet
in length, and extending below the
water line, while the aft railing was
also extensively damaged. The yes
sci is provided with water tight com
partments, which can be closed in
simultaneously by hydraulic power.
BY the command Of Captain Walker
this precautionary step was at once
taken, and lifebelts were handed
around TO those on board, whilst the
boats were also got ready for use ii
required.
There were between 200 and 800
passengers, many Of them being la
dies, but such excellent order was
that there were never any
symptoms Of panic. After the impact
the steamers lost sight Of each other,
although they were not very far apart,
but on getting outside the fog bank
the respective captains spoke to each
other by megaphone.
The Queen had a considerable hole
in her bows, but was not nearly so
badly injured as the other steamer.
Captain Walker Of the Onward re.
solved to return to Folkestone, which
he did, with the Queen in close at
tendance, ready to give help II need
ed. BY the closing Of the bulkheads
Of the Onward the water was kept
forward. and there was an obvious
dip at the bows. But Folkestone was
reached without mishap. and the pas
sengers safely landed. On board the
which was in charge OF Cap.
tain King, there were between 400
and 500 passengers.
