Kitchener was the one outstanding personality whom the people talked of and believed in as great man, not withstanding newspaper attacks, which at former period of the war threat ened to undermine his popularity and the public confidence in him.
 NEWS FROM JELLIcOE
 A telegram from Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, commander of the fleet, giv- ing the bare facts, was received at the admiralty about Il o'clock in the morning. The first official announce ment was issued at about 1;30 in the afternoon. Such news, however, can not be kept entirely secret even for an hour. Before noon rumors were spreading, and the telephones in the newspaper offices were busy with in quiries anxious to know whether this one of the many reports circulating in these days Of tenSlOn-had any foundation They were told there was nothing in it.
 Admiral Jellicoe's report to the admir- alty was as follows:
 T have to report, with deep regret, that his majestys ship Hampshire, Capt Herbert J. Savill, R. N, with Lord Kitch- ener and his staff on board, was sunk last night at about p. m. to the west of the Orkney, either by a mine or torpedo
 -Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship The wind was north-northwest, and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and deseroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some bodies and a capsized boat have been found up to the present. As the whole shore has been searched from the seaward, I greatly fear that there is little hope of there being any survivors.
 "No report has yet been received from the search party on shore.

WITH EARL KITCHENER

H. M. $. Hampshire was on her way to Russia
 WITH EARL KITCHENER
 Accompanying Karl Kitchener and his staff were Hugh James O'Beirne, former councillor of the British embassy at Petrograd, and former Minister at Sofia, o. A. Fitzgerald, Earl Kitchener's pri- vate military secretary Brigadier General Ellershaw, and Sir Frederick Donaldson On board the Hampshire with the British war secretary were also number or minor army officers.
 When the official announcement finally was isued the fact spread about London sometime before the newspapers could get into the streets. There was crowd about the stock exchange which required police reserves to deal with. The police told everyone to move on; that there was no truth in the reports.
 At the same time another mass of peo- pie was assembling about the government offices in Whitehall. All the windows of the war office had the curtains lowered. That confirmed the rumor beyond doubt. Other crowds gathered around the news paper offices; when boys came out with an armful Of extras the people fell on them and fought for the papers. In the course of the afternoon the flags on all buildings were flown at half staff.
 The English undoubtedly a stoical people and have taken the good and bad tidings of the war as they came, with an absence of emotion surprising to out siders. But no one could have walked the London streets today without per- ceiving that something which the com mon people took as calamity had be- fallen them.
 The foreign office was saddened by the loss of one of it's most valued members. Hugh James O'Beirne; while Sir Fred erick Donaldson and Brigadier General Ellershaw of the ministry of munitions were known to be men whom the nation could little afford to lose.
 The fact that the cruiser Hampshire, with between 200 and 300 men, had sunk was generally accepted simply as an un- fortunate detail in these days when

T. R. Has One Est Master Card and The Old Guard Tren1bles Lest He Play It
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

This is sufficient to give the bosses cause to hesitate. And as result. they may abandon their fight against Hughes.
 Against Roosevelt? It is not prob able.
 T. R. STILL FIGHTING
 They say that they have killed Cock Robin. They entertain fear, however, that the corpse may prove live one.
 It is apparent that the awful threats of T. R. have had other than the desired effect-have come up like a storm and whispered away as a summer zephyr. And yet there remains one fatal card. Will T. R. play it?
 In other words, will the former President appear before the conven- tion and in a fervent passionate, patriotic address, emulate Caesar in putting aside the crown, and call upon the delegates to name a can didate expressive of true American ism-whoever he might be?
 That is the question which gives them pause. What would be The ef- feet? Would the delegates, their blood on fire, precipitate a stam- pede to Roosevelt? Would they, in other words, act as Roosevelt would expect them to act?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-07

The situation is indeed like unto the democratic convention in Chicago in 1896 when, the night before the meeting of the convention, the lead CTS were discussing whether Bland of Missouri or Teller of Colorado was most available. There were three favorite sons as there are now. Bryan wassnarely mentioned, but his cross of gold and crown of thorns speech carried the convention by storm.
 HISTORY MAY REPEAT
 There may be a repetition of that climax. Nobody can yet tell what will occur here. Stories are going out over the wires every hour that it is fixed for Hughes. But nobody is welded to Hughes except Frank Hitchcock, the Taft Postmaster General, and the story here is that Charles P. Taft is financing the Hitchcock work for Hughes simply to punish Roosevelt. There is indeed vicious form of war fare in progress against Roosevelt. But everyone is considering him and watching the every movement of his friends and spokesmen. He is the armored Zeppelin of the situation. No one of the old guard or the men who want the offices or of the republican organization know from what direc- tion he is coming, or how he will land. They don't want him as their leader nor do they want him in command. They would torpedo him as Kitchener
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-07

was disposed of, supposedly by Ger man submarine, but they have not the courage to attempt it.
 Indeed the Roosevelt mailed hand is hanging over the republican conven- tion situation here like ghost. It is no more nor less than surrender on the part. of the republican party to his dominant hand or a hopeless No vember campaign. Of the outcome the reader in Alabama can as well judge as can the one on the scene in the person of E. w. BARRETT.
 BORAH TALKS WITH TEDDY
 Chicago, June 6.-Senator Borah and Colonel Roosevelt talked over the long distance telephone tonight respecting ef- forts to bring about harmony between the republican and progressive parties. Sena- tor Borah would not discuss the conversa- : tion beyond saying that he and the colonel had exchanged views, and that he was better satisfied with the situation than he had been before he talked with Oyster Bay.
 When it became known there had been a telephone conference, it was reported the senator told the colonel that he be- lieved Hughes should be nominated early by the republicans and that he hoped such nomination would be satisfactory. This report was repeated to Senator Borah. who declared that it was not a true representation of what had taken place.
 'T can't tell you what occurred" said the senator T wish I could. but it is impossible.''
 The telephone conference took place

Chicago, June 6.-(Special.)-Th decks are cleared and the fight is on there was more speculation, gossip, prophecy and conjecture and less real pre-convention news than ever before.
 Today, the "old guard" in charge of the situation-though still fearful lest it might lose control-declared:
 1. Roosevelt is beaten and his fol- lowers in the republican convention are aiding in the planned destruction of Hughes.
 ?. With Hughes eliminated, man, mindful of his real friends" and of the Kidney of the "old guard' will be nominated
 CLOUDS STILL HOVER
 And yet, Banquo's ghost still pre- sides.
 The ''old guard' is not cock-sure of itself. The bosses realize in other words, that situation might be de- veloped in which the servile delegate will, with success, revolt against his servitude
 For-the republicans want to win. If the bosses ride rough shod over T. R., the strenuous one,' more able than any other to arouse the American peo- pie, may bolt, with the inevitable re- suit.

POISONING WAS REMoyED

Picking, June 6.-Yuan Shi-Kai vas reported to have been taken seriously i'll on May 2s. At that time dispatches from China said 1t was believed in Peking that the President had been poisoned, but this report was denied by the Chinese ambassador at Wash ington. who insisted the President was not even i'll.
 Yuan Shi-Kaj died while the storm of revolution were gathering in in creasing strength. The revolt broke e out in December, 1915 when the Pres ident announced his intention of es- tablishing monarchy and ascending the throne as the first Emperor of d new dynasty. His coronation was set for early in February of this year. but was postponed indefinitely owing to the extraordinary rapidity with which

WASHINGTON IS ADVISED


 Washington, June GA cablegram to the state department today from Ameri- can Minister Rensch at Peking an- nounced the death of Yuan Shi-Kai, the President of China.
 The minister's message, dated at Pe- last night and that Premier Tuan Chi Jui had announced that he would give his full support to the vice president, Li Yuan Hung No details of the Presi- dents death were given and no mention made of the widely circulated and official ly denied reports that he had been poi soned.
 It is generally believed here that the accession of Ii Yuan Hung to the presi- dency will make possible early restora- ton of order in China and bring the revolting and loyal provinces together. Ii is thoroughly imbued with republican ideals and is declared to be one of the most popular man in China because he has abstained from factional quarrels and has a reputation for high integrity. Later the Chinese legation received an official dispatch from Peking giving noti- fcation of the Presidents death, but say ing it occurred lat 10 o'clock on the morning of June G. several hours later than the time given by Minister Reinch. The message added that Ii Yuan Hung would assume the duties of President at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

 Peking June 6.-Yuan Shi-Kai, Presi- dent of the Chinese republic, died today. Premier Tuan Chi-Jui Immediately ad- vised Li Yuan Hung, the vice president. of his succession to the presidency. Yuan Shi-Kai had been i'll for several days with stomach trouble, which was followed by nervous breakdown.
 Quiet prevails today in the capital. The death of the President apparently solves the heated political crisis Ii Yuan Hung S succession to the presidency meets the demands of the leaders in the southern provinces.
 Yuan Shi-Kai died at o'clock this morning in the palace, surrounded by his wives and older children. Rumors that he committed suicide are denied stoutly by high officials.
 The commander of the legation guards, including the German and Austrian. met and discussed the situation here, coming to the decision that rioting was un- likely. The American and British com mandants advised their nationals living outside the legation quarter that it was safe to remain there for the present.
