The Philadelphia had no Egyptian ciga-

Cronan was received by the ward

Their first tour of the season-a three days outing, starting last Saturday. to Block Island, was pronounced by everyone who went, a grand success. The party was nice and appreciative, the weather perfect and the trip replete with interest. The sail on the Block Island from New London. with stop at Watch Hill, Is an unusually interesting sail-the light ship. lighthouses, numerous is- lands the fort, target practice, na- tional salute. etc. the sal across to Block Island. entrance into the new harbor, ride across the island and beautiful location of the ocean View hotel, all combined to make the morning delightful one. The Ocean View Is situated on nigh bluff over looking the ocean. It has a frontage of $50 feet and accommodations for 400 guests It is the leading hotel on the island There Is an air or refine ment and comfort about it that ap- peals strongly to those seeking rest and recreation. The cuisine and ser vice are fine, rooms nice and cool and the music in the dance and con cert halls select. Just below the hotel is the "old harbor," where scores of fishing craft tie up, inside of the gov ernment breakwater, for the night.
 Saturday night there were probably twenty sword fish brought in, one when dressed weighed 800 pounds The mackerel. bluefsh Holsters, etc, seen in the fish market will vie with any in the world The tramp or ride to the South Light and ihe Bluffs is replete with interest. On a bluff, a short distance from the hotel was seen the gathering and bleaching oi Irish moss. which abounds on the rocks about the island. The bathing at II o'clock on the beach is big daily event and should not be missed For a week passed one or more whales have been seen during .his sail, this time they were short distance iron Watch Hill and could be easily seen The fact of this and all the other tours being personally conducted (thi! one by Mir.

EYES ON NEW YORK
Disposition of Its IS Votes at Caucus
 To-day the Allies One Hope.

Denver, July 7,--The New York dele gation will hold It's third caucus of convention week tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock to reach a long delayed de- cision as to which candidate for the presidential nomination shall receive the big block of 7s votes from the Elm pire state. The caucus has been called by Charles r. Murphy. leader of Tam many Hall and chairman of the dele gation. The adherents of Mir Bryan still claim that New York will vote for the Nehraskan while the opposing forces are hopeful that the decision may help them in their effort to block a nomination on the first ballot.
 MT Murphy maintains the same sphynx-like silence which has charac- terized his attitude ever since his ar rival in Denver.
 A spirit of conciliation, 1t is said, still pervades the Tammany delega- tion, As an evidence of this 1t Is pointed out that Judge Alton B. Parker, who was reported as coming to Denver as the representative Of New York state in fight against the adoption of an lanti-injunction plank. went Into the session of the convention committee on resolutions tonight to advocate an an- ti-injunction plank, which is declared to have been drawn by Samuel Con- pers himself, and which formed a part of the tentative platform put forth to- day by the New York delegation. Lew l is Nixon was chairman of the sub committee of the New York delegation that brought this about and 1t Is tn, boast of the delegation tonight tha' hey have concillated the radical, con. servative and labor interests, all al once, and that they have put forth { strong bid for the far-western vote b, advocating a sufficient increase in the naval establishment to maintain flee 1 on both coasts. A number of the stat conventions in the west advocated sucl a plank in the platforms of both par
 ties, but the New York people say tn
 west was ignored In this respect by tn, silence of the republicans. Altogethe

 ton at the convention, despite the crit

clare that they are not worried in the least.
 Much Is being made by the Gufrey men of the differences which Mir. Bry- an has had with such men as Roger Sullivan of Illinois. John T McGraw, Of West Virginia. certain democratic lead CTS of Texas. Tennessee. Wisconsin and other states.
 They profess to believe that the dele gations from these states are anxious 10 administer rebuke to Mir. Bryan for his alleged interference with the state delegations in selecting their representative in the convention after tho states themselves had declared in favor of the nomination of the Ne 'braskan. Should the anti-Bryan men prove to be correct in their estimate of the situation. Mir. Bryan without doubt will be defeated in his attempt to over turn .Guffey in Pennsylvania.
 II IS not unlikely that contest over this Issue would engender the bitterest kind of feeling. and have an important bearing on the vote after the candi- dates have been placed in nomination for tho presidency. It Is conceded that if Colonel Guffey should be defeated which should be the result on seating the anti-Guffey delegation from Penn sylvania. that would end the opposition to Mir. Bryan, and all of the fighting practically would be taken out of the anti-Bryan men. The Nebraskan's friends then would be given clear road to the adoption of whatever char. acter of platform they favor and nc showing whatever would be made against him for the nomination for first place on the ticket. Should the Bryar men be so disposed they could dictate also the nomination for the vice pres. idency.
 Gossip over the candidates for vict president has been completely over snadowed by the events of the day. am there is little change in the situation There are nearly 100 men in the field Such leaders as found time to give nt tcntion to the vice presidential stua tion tonight, however, seemed to thnl that the Bryan Gufley contest, having
