CAPITAL JoTTlNes.

President Taft, Monday, sent a spe-
eial rlessake to Congress recommend
ing the immediate appropriating OF
81. 400 for use of the war depart
ment i'm the joint maneuvers of the
regular army and the national guard,
next month. The President also asked
the appropriation of Sl67 900 for ur-
gent necessities of the war department.
Both items were in the general army
appropriation bin. which the President
vetoed.
The failure of Congress to pass APP
preparation bills for the running ex-
penses of the government after June
50, is causing much concern to de-
partment officials. Secretary Wilson
has sent word 10 many of his field
men not to incur any expense after
June 30 Secretary Stamson, Monday
issued Il general army order similar
to that issued, last week, TO the navy
In general ii provides for feeding and
clothing the troops. the continuation
OF enlistment and the continued en-
ployment of the civil employees of the
army, but with the understanding that
they, as well as the line and STAFF of
the army. must go without pay until
Congress provides.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
announced. Monday, that it had tenta-
lively approved the revised national car
demurrage rules recently adopted by the
American Railway Association. The ae-
ton is important to shippers because, as
the commission says, the causes for the
refundlng of demurrage charges by the
carriers have been made in several par
iticulars more liberal for the, consignee.

is not discussed as possibility. One
claim put forward by MIR. Bryan's
supporters is that with him in the
| field there might ensue a coalition
with some of the disaffected Repub-
licans interested in third party
movement Up TO this time, however,
the arriving delegates have given Mr..
BRYAN little thought TO the Presi-
dency. The sharp contest between Mr..
Bryan and the majority of the Ma
tional committee over the selection Of
Judge Parker as temporary chair
man, has overshadowed everything
else.
The men in charge of the various
candidates are doing all in their
power, however, to create noise and
enthusiasm for their principals. In
contrast to the methods of the Chi
eago convention, the statements put
ont merely eXtol the respective. cam
didates without casting aspersions
upon the others. The principal cam
paigning is in the way of distributing
copies of the "HouH Dawg song hat
bands stamped with the candidates
names banners, posters and all man
ner of contrivances.

in the event of deadlock on the first

mated. tonight. Gov Marshall will re-

The Indiana delegation at its meeting.

that the Nebraskan has assumed the roll

Senator Newlands of Nevada, sitting
in the committee with the proxy of his
colleague, Senator Sunderland, defended
Mr.. Bryan. The senator declared that
he did not yield to the dictation of any
one man; but he did not regard Mr..
Bryan as a dictator, but the one repre-
sentative of progressive principles en-
dorsed by the Democratic party.
At the conclusion af the vote on the

committee took up consideration of the
contested delegates. subcommittee

CENTER OF ATTRACTION.
Crowds Flock to Rryan's Rooms With
Offers of SUPPORT.

Baltimore. June 24-All through to-
day and far into the evening. a con-
slant stream of visiting delegates and
friends ebbed and flowed through the
narrow confines of William j. Bryanis
rooms to give greeting or pass some
word of political moment with the Ne
braska leader. Some times Mr. Bryan
came out into the room given over To
the public and there held brief recep-
tons, but more often he retired to an
adjoining room for long periods Of
time to confer with his lieutenants.
"They are with us and more are
coming to join in the fight" said Mr.
Bryan, as a party of Minnesota dele
gates came TO tell him. late today.
that Minnesota was ready for any
thing You want F."
To one delegate who remarked;
Now is the time for you to come into
your oWn," Mr.. Bryan replied: Well.
| have always come into my own
when they accept my policies and
principles.
Whenever some enthusiastic dele
gate informed Mr.. Bryan that the
Presidential nomination awaited him
if he would but take it. the Nebraska
leader would quickly reply
Il have got something more impor-
tant right now"
Mrs. w L. Fairman of Punxau-
tawney. Pa. wearing large badge
hearing the picture of Gov. Wilson.
called Mr.. Bryans attention to the
badge and asked:
"shall / take this of for your
NO. madam" smilingly remarked
the former Presidential candidate.
Senator Works of California edged
his way through the crowd in Mr.
Rryans room, and taking the Nebras-
kan by the hand, said:
I don't suppose you have time to
talk to a Republican,?
There's no better time in the his
tory of this country to talk to Re-
publicans,'' Mr. Bryan laughingly re-
piled.
Mr. Bry1n's attention was called, late
tonight, to the report that at his CON
ference, today, with Judge Parker he
had passed upon the speech which the
New York jurist had prepared to de
liver as temporary chairman of the
convention, MIR. Bryan said:
81 have not thought ii proper to dis
cuss with anybody what Mr.. Parker
said to me or what / said to him. but
in answer to rumor that is now be-
ing circulated that he read his speech
to me and / approved it. l feel justi-
fled in saying that he never read a
single sentence of his speech or show
ed me any manuscript. He referred in
very general way to what he intend
ed to say, but what he said only re-
ferred to two or three subjects and no
one could judge from what he said
whether the speech would be accept
able or not. A small part of the in
tervicw was spent upon the question
of what Mr.. Parker would say. 1t cut
no figure in either his decision or
mine"

resolutions committee and his position
in the party is such that the place of
chairman will be conceded to him by
common consent The general opinion
is that he will prepare the greater part
of the platform. Indeed many think
he now has much of it written, but he
is reticent on the subject.
Delegates were too much occupied,
today. with the temporary chairman
ship to give close attention to the
question of resolutions. but insofar as
there was expression on the subject it
indicated a harmonious condition.
Representatives of some of the East
ern states express apprehension that
there may be an effort to force ap-
prevail of the initiative, referendum
and recall plan of government and if
there is it will he opposed. Mr.. Bryan
has. however, indicated the opinion
that these pertain only to state ad-
ministration, and it is not believed
that he viii contend for any radical
pronouncement on this subject, If for
any at all
There certainly will be pianks

sponsible for the trusts and the high

tive declaration for rapid revision
downward. Probably the procedure
by schedule as practieed by the recent
House of Representative will be adj
vocated. The tariff work of the House
will be strongly endorsed and the
Presidents tariff vetoes as strongly
condemned.
