The Vice Presidential

ered a Candidate Mr. Towne's
Strength Confined Entirely to the
West New York an Uncertain
Quantity, Though There Is Genu
ine Activity in the Sulzor Camp.
Mr. Hill Does Not Want It.
Kansas City, Mo., July 2. The throb
anil tlirlll of a groat national assem
blage is beginning to take possession
of this young queen city of the south
west. Throughout tlu day there has
been a steady tramp, tramp of incom
ing thousands by cveiy train, choking
the railroad stations with n struggling,
trnvel-stnlned and sweltering throng,
tilling the streets with slow-moving,
Jostling crowds, emptying Into the
hotel lobbies whoio.nmld cigar smoke
and piles of baggage nnd the shout of
badge venders, the currents of earnest
and excited men eddy into groups, de
claiming the merits of candidates and
issues, arguing, protesting, gesticulat
ing. The delegations have been arriv
ing In scattered lots, some of them
with bands and banners to add sound
and color to the animated scene.
Among the day's arrhals nte many of
the interesting figures of the party.
With the Inllux of leaders and dele
gates, the holding of caucuses and the
organization of state delegations has
begun under hot nnd oppressive con
ditions. It has been a sticky, muggy
da j, with the sky overcast and tlueal
enlng a storm, and the air heavily
cb irged with moisture, giving promise
of humid convention days ahead.
The real convention work began to
day with a meeting of the national
committee to determine contests and
to select temporary olllcers. Mayor
nose, of Milwaukee, the choice for
temporary chairman, is a Oerman
Amcrican, reputed to be an orator of
fine presence and effective delivery.
Tonight the national committee is hav
ing a private dinner, a sort of family
conference, as the guests of Daniel J.
Campau, while great crowds of dele
gates and spectators are centering at
convention hall, which was formally
opened with a band concert. The vast
structure is still surrounded wiili the
debris of construction, an army of
workmen and decorators are busy In
side, but It will be complete and ready
for the convention hosts by Wednes
day morning. The Monetary league,
also, began Its sessions today, with
"Coin" Harvey and Mr. Towne as at
tractions, but this was quite to acad
emic to attract much attention.
A like view was expressed by R. L.
Metcalf, who will represent Nebraska
on the platform committee.
"I will urge that the financial plank
of the Chicago platform be re-afflrmed
nnd repeated," said ho, "not necessar
ily in the same words, but In the same
spirit, with a declaration for free coin
age nt. 16 to 1, without regnrdxto the
action of other nations. Less than
that would show weakness.
"The return of Senator Hill without
tangible results which he was willing
to disclose, made It plain that his con
ference with Mr. Bryan at Lincoln had
comp to naught, and It served also to
emphasize the general feeling that Mr.
Bryan would not tolerate any tempor
izing on the platform.
VICE-PRESIDENTIAI, TIMBER.
Mr. Shlveley Withdraws Prospects
for Towne nnd Sulzer.
Kansas City, July 2. The vice presi
dential situation has not cleared up
during the day, and tonight It is ap
parently In as much doubt as it was
when the delegates to the national
Democratic convention wore elected.
There was a shifting of the scene to
day wlten B. F. Shlvoly, of Indiana,
was taken out of the race, by his em
phatic statement to the Indiana dele
gation that he would not allow his
name to be presented. Not only the
Indiana men, but nil the delegates in
the city, accept tho statement of Mr.
Shlvtly, nnd he Is not now considered
a probability in tho race.
As tho contest stands after Shlveley's
retirement, the two leading candidates
Bcem to be Colonel Towne and Wil
liam Sulzer, with some man from New
York, like Judge Van Wyck or Elliot
Danforth, ns a possibility under certain
contingencies.
The fact Is the vice presidential sit
uation Is Interwoven with the plat
form. If there Is a simple re-ndlrma-tlon
of the Chlcngo platform some
New i'orlt man may be selected for
vice president, In the hope that he will
isstst in carrying that state. If a
specific declaration of 10 to 1 then
Towne may be Bryan's running mate.
It Is pointed out us not tjulte conceiv
able that a convention which would
refuse to make a specific declaration
for 1C to 1 with a view of carrying
some of the eastern states would nom
inate Towne, who left the Republican
party solely on the ground for his at
tachment for silver.
It Is conceded by nil tho Democratic
lenders that Towne's strength in tho
west and on a silver platform and
that he would not bo strong In tho
east on a modified platform.
While it is not n certainty thnt
Towne would bo nominated, even If
there was a speclflo 10 to 1 declara
tion, it is generally believed that his
chances would bo greatly Improved by
such action, and his friends nro mak
ing every effort to bring about that
result in the convention,
New York In mill un uncertain quart
Jltjr in the Held, It Is atlll asserted
that she has no candidate, nlthotigh
there Is more genuine nctlvlty In the
Sulzer canvass than In any other that
It being made. Mr. Sulzer, while a
Now York man, Is not the candidate
of New York, and Is making his can
vass outside of that delegation. That
the delegation under favorable condi
tions, such as concessions In the plat
form, would unite on some other man,
seems to be perfectly understood, but
It would undoubtedly be brought about
by a movement from outside the Htate.
Whether the convention would unite
on Dnnforth or Van Wyck Is uncer
tain because of the personalty of Hill.
There Is yet a great deal of talk about
the ex-senator In connection with the
vice-presidency nomination and In
case of a modified platform he might
bo rushed upon the convention. At
the same time It Is well understood
that his selection would not.be satis
factory to Mr. Bryan, less satisfac
tory, perhaps, than the other New
York men mentioned. Mr. Hill him
self Insists that he is not to be con
sidered nn- says It In n way to Indi
cate that he does not want It and that
he has doubts about his selection If ho
did want it. There may be some dark
horses In the stable, some men who
have not yet been considered posslblo
or available. Some man like Sewall,
the presentation of whose narno waB
a surprise and whoso nomination was
not even surmised. Thero aro plenty
of guesses made, but no one feels au
thorized to make definite predictions.
'GET YOUR SILVER FIRST."
Remarks That Disturbed tho Placidi
ty of the Meeting of tho United
States Monetary League General
Warner Causes a Flutter.
Kansas City, Mo., July 2. The pla
cidity of the meeting of tho United
Stntes Monetary league today was con
siderably rallied In tho closing hours
by statements from General A. J. War
ner, of Ohio, who was a volunteer
speaker, taking the time nnd place
which had been assigned to Mr. Sulzer,
of New York, who failed to appear.
General Warner caused the first flut
ter of excitement by saying that so
fur as ho knew there was no proposi
tion to change the ratio of coinage.
The question of the hour, he added, Is
to get silver restored to Its former
place where It would have the same
rights as gold.
"I don't care anything nbout the
ratio of 16 to 1," he added. "Get your
silver restored," he added, "catch your
hare first, then cook It. Regulate sil
ver automatically and you settle the
question. I sometimes think we have
laid too much stress on 16 to 1. I am
in favor of It, but thero are and must
always be conditions which may
change the ratio."
Ex-Covernor St. John followed with
an Interruption In which he said:
"I say to General Warner that un
less 16 to 1 Is specifically mentioned In
the platform of the convention to mecf
this week, a tremor will run along the
entire line, and voters In the west,
especially, would desert the ticket by
thousands."
This stntemont received vigorous ap
plause. Turning to those In front, General
Warner said: "Get your silver llrst.
Don't make any more mistakes. When
you get your silver, we will fix the
ratio."
Interruptions followed with rapidity,
and exceptions to the speaker's views
became heated. Waiting a moment for
quiet. General Warner continued:
"I tell you the question of 10 to 1 Is
going to cut little figure in this cam
paign. The Issues will bo antl-lm-perlallsm
and trusts and what wo
should do for humanity, and the ques
tion of ratio will sink Into lnflnltlsl
mal insignificance,"
An excited speaker In the rear row
shouted that If General Warner's Ideas
prevailed the party might ns well tear
down the flag of the campaign, and
that the election of McICInley would be
Inevitable.
General Warner said he would not
take up further time, but what he said
he stood by.
Mr. Harvey leaped upon a table and
repeating former statements, he added:
"If the people do not Instruct congress
before election on the question of ratio.
congress would never agree. And I
stand here to say to you," pointing to
General Warner, "10 to 1 has been de
manded by our leader. Colonel Bryan,
nnd we will follow his lend."
After the meeting adjourned, General
Warner was waylaid at the entrance
by many who had been present, and
some of them denounced him. politi
cally and In some Instnnces personally.
The outside protest was as vigorous
as that of the Inside.
HILL BECOMES MYSTERIOUS.
The ex-Governor of New York Will
Not Answer Questions.
Kansas City, July 2. Kx-Senator
Hill returned from Lincoln today, and
it may be said that his return did not
cause ns great a sensation ns did
his departure. The mysterious silence
which he maintained, nnd which ho ex
plained by saying: "Mr. Bryan and
myself agreed that nothing should be
said regarding the conference between
us," did not serve to whet the politi
cal appetite very much. Of course, It
was not expected that Mr. Hill would
talk of the conference, but there was
a belief that he would say something
of Intirest relating to tho platform ana
tho prospects of a modification, but he
was decidedly non-committal. When
asked a direct question as to his fight
against n 10 to 1 declaration, he said
the convention would not meet for two
days.
To some visitors Mr. Hill said his
conference with Mr. Bryan was very
satisfactory, but In what particular he
did not disclose. When the matter of
his connection with tho vice-presidency
was mentioned, he dismissed It In a
manner Indicating that there was not
the least possibility of his being so.

Ism Compliment to the G. A. R.
Topeka, Kansas, July 2. As Gover
nor Roosevelt swept across the sun
flower state today he was gieeted by
a continuous and hearty ovation. The
stops between Kansas City and Topeka
were very brief, and tho governor ro- '
trained from any extended uddiens. At
every point the crowds were clamorous
for a speech, but were compelled to
bo satisfied with a bow and a smile
and a brief expression of the gover
nor's pleasure nt meeting them. With
as many ns could be reached, he In
variably shook linnd. Tho applause
was without limit ami It appeared to
come from people of nil degrees of
politics. It was not so much for Roose
velt as a cnndldnte for vice president
as fcr "Teddy" the Bough Rider and
the man.
A number of the most prominent cit
izens of Kansas accompanied the gov
ernor across their state. Among them
were Governor William Stanley, Unl

tis and J. It. Burton, Morton Albaugh,

The goornor was Introduced by Con
gressman Bowerf-ock. He said:
"My fellow citizens: I am doubly
glad to come here to Kansas, because
It was Kansas that had more to do
than anything with my being nominat
ed for vice president. (A voice from
the crowd: 'We will nominate you for
president four years from now"),
"We will win this year," first pro
ceeded Governor Roosevelt, "nnd we
are going to do It right off the handle,
too." t Great applause),
"Speaking here nt Lawrence, I want
to say how pleased I was this morn
ing at being gieeted by a delegation
of the Twentieth Knnsas, A year ago
at Las Vegas we all diank the health
of the Twentieth Kansas, and only
wished we could havo had the oppor
tunity to bo beside it ns it was doing
its glorious work In the Philippines.
Thers Is .lust one body that I put ahead
of that regiment, dnd I know the Twen
tieth Kansas agrees with me in that
and this It the Grrnd Army of th
Republic the men who fought In the
big war. Your war was not a big war,
because It did not have to be. (Laugh
ter). "It was Just a bit of police work of
the world, and w dll It, and what Is
more, we nre going to go on doing It
until brigandage ceases In tho Philip
pines. (Applause).
"I am not talking politics; T am
talking jdalr Americanism. (A voice:
'That Is what Republicanism is').
"My friend you nre right," answered
the governor.
"I can hardly help talking politics
because every principle of national
honor nnd civic righteousness Is nt
stakj this fall."

Loving Cup for Guffy.
Kansas City, July 2. Pennsylvania
bold a caucus of Jjio delegation tonight.
Colonel J. M. Ouffey was unanimously
chos-en chairman of th delegation and
iv-eleeted as representative on the na
tional committed. The caucus then
adjourned to meet tomorrow evening,
when the representaMves on the vari
ous committees will be elected.
Previous to the adjournment the
delegates presented a solid silver lov
ing cup to Colonel Gurrey, ns a token
of their applet latlon of his se Ices to
the Democratic party of Pennsylvania.
A good deal of Importance Is being
attached to the Pennsylvania delega
tion. It was reported today that James
Kerr, seeretaiy ot the Democratic na
tional congressional committee, had
been delegated to visit Mr. Bryan at
his home in Lincoln, nnd endeavor to
have him agree to a compromise finan
cial plank in the platform. It was
stated that he carried with him a let
ter from James M. Ou.Toy, proposing
that If Bryan would consent to tho
insertion of a plank endorsing bimetal
lism without reference to a speclflo
rntlo, the eastern leaders would agree
to nominate a candidate for vice presl
dent whoso views would be In perfect
accord with his. It Is a rnct thnt Soc
tetary Kerr left Knnsas City for Lin
coln last night, but Cclonel Guffey de
nled that ho went ns the representa

any letters signed by nim.
While the Pennsylvania delegation
came here committed to Hill for tho
vice presidency, nnd a conservative
platform, It has been s-cmewbat upset

BRINGING UP THE
DEAD BODIES
REMAINS OP 77 VICTIMS OF
DOCK FIRE RECOVERED.
The List of Missing Still Placed at
but Few Below 300 Twenty-one
Identifications Made by Second
Officer of tho Saale Many of tho
Victims Are Foreigners,
New York, July 2. Seventy-seven
bodies of victims of the Hoboken fire
have been recovered. And the half has
not jet been told, as all tho bodies
brought to tho surface today were
caught on grappling hooks. About the
llrst ot next week people will realize
the appalling loss of life, as It will
then be time for the bodies that are
now lying at the bottom of the river
to como to tho surface of the water of
their own accord.
The list of missing Is still placed at
but few below the 300 mark and when
the bodies begin floating to the sur
face the gruesomeness of the situation
will be realized.
Tho bodies recovered up to 11 o'clock
tonight include 41, now In O'Donnell's
undeitnklng establishment In Hobo
ken; ten in Hoffman's, of tho same
city: twelve In the mdrgue In New
York, and four on the decks of the
Saale which latter were recovered too
late tonight to be brought to either
city. Of these thirty-seven have eith
er positively or partly been Identified,
most of them, so fnr ns has been re
covered, b?lng victims fioin the steam
ship S.'ial.
Twenty-one of these Identifications
vere made by Second Olllcer Sanders
of the Saale, who was helped !n-the
task by firemen, coal passers, machin
ists and other employes of tho vessel.
Those who will undoubtedly swell the
list of the dead are 240 odd men from
the steamships, Including olllcers, sub
olllcers, seamen, oilers, machinists,
coal passers and trimmers, the greater
loss, of course, being tho men who
were below decks and could not get to
tho open before the flumes choked
them back and the heavy falling de
bris beat them down to their death.
Of these the greater part are foreign
ers, nnd the lists of their names are
being checked off by the company's
olllcers ns soon as any Identification
can be made. Then, too, thero nre
some thlrty-flvo people who were on
canal boats, lighters and about tho
docks In various capacities.
The burned North German Lloyd
piers, with that of the Thlngvalla line,
reach out Into the river like long,
charred arms of some great body,
which still steamed and smoked In Its
last hours of life.
NEEDLESS SACRIFICE.
President Cram Thinks Loss of Life
Could Have Roen Avoided.
Now York, July 2. President Cram,
nt a meeting of the Now York dock
board today, emphatically declared
that there need have been no loss of
life as a result of the Hoboken lire,
had proper discipline been shown. He
said:
"Such a fire could not possibly have
occuired In New York city. It would
bo absolutely Impossible, owing to the
system ot docking facilities and the
fire nnd police departments.
"I was In Hoboken today, examining
the piers ot the North German Lloyd
Steamship company. They are too nar
row, and the space between tho piers
Is very much too narrow. The pier?
themselves aro rotten in the flint place
nnd nre nothing but tinder boxes, Th
sheds are only made of wood and very
Inflammable, of course, and that's the
reason the lire spread so quickly and
with such disastrous effect.
"Tho piers In New York city nro
much wider nnd much further apart.
It would bo absolutely Impossible, oven
If a pier should catch 11 re, ,for It to
spread to a vessel lying alongside thnt
pier, ns the piers are wide, and thero
Is plenty of spaeo for tho llro depart
ment to work on tho pier nnd for tho
lire boats to work outside between
piers"

to reach an International agreement
respecting tho conduct of tho forces of

tho only news was that there seemed
to bo an unanimous agreement on tho

furnish reinforcements for tho forces
now operating along tho Pel-Ho river
In the effort to reach Pekin, as Japat;,
alone of tho powers, Is prepared to
throw into China whatever number of
troops may be needed. The news IC
that effect has come to the state dir
partment from all directions, nnd pan
ticularly from England, Russia nn(,
France. As far as the state depart

accorded Japan a free hand In the mat

courteous statement of the purpose of

A gathering In Secretary Hay's office

and Secretary Hitchcock, taken In con

Long bad been In conference earlier In
tile day with the secretary of state,
led to the circulation of rumors tha
Important developments were to be an
ticipated, connected with the strength
ening of the United States forces nov
In China. These rumors, however, were
speedllv set nt rest by the statement"
from one of tho participants that tho
cont'd enco had nothing to do with
Chinese affairs, but related to some In
dlnn troubles In tho northwest. Sec
retary Root said that ho had not or
dered any troops to China, beyond tho
Ninth Infantry from Manila, now 011

Sixth cavalry, about to start from Sar

Germany Will Act.
Berlin, July 2. From authenticated;
repoits the representative of the As
sociated I'ress Is nble to state that to
day, after the detailed statement by
Count Von Buelow, recretnry of stato)
for lorelgn affairs, regarding the Chi
nese situation, Emperor William mada
up his mind to insist upon full satis
faction for the death of Earon Von
Kettcler, for which purpose he resolv
ed to send nltogether armed forces ap
proximately ns large as those of thd
other powers chle'ly Interested In re
storing order In Chltn. The nreclso
size of the forces has not yet been
determined, but It Is said that theyt
will altogether amount to a score o3
thousands.
A considerable portion of the Ger
man llset will be sent also. This Is
evidenced by orders Irt.ued tonight to
prepare five largo new battleships fop
sailing. It Is understood that Prlnca
Henry, nt Prussia, has requested tho
emperor to glvo him command of this
division, but It Is doubtful whether hla
mnjesty will agree to this.
The emperor and Count Von Buelow
aro fully aware that constitutional dif
ficulties render dlfllcult the despatch
ing of so large a contingent, but both
are agreed that It must bo done. In
this they nre supported by tho singu
larly unanimous attitude of tho Ger
man press. Tonight a number of tho
leading papers seriously express means
for fulfilling the nation's wish to mako
reprisals ugnlnst China corresponding
ly severe with tho outrages.
At the foreign olllce tonight tho sltu
ntlon for Germany was described aa
most dlfllcult, especially since the lat
est news shows that serious troublo la
impending In Shnn Tung.
Tho Chlneso legation hero Is still
smilingly snug.
Minister Lit Hal Hung told n repre
sentative of tho Associated Press that
he was extremely sorry for tho bloody!
events In Pokln, but he felt sure tha
the Dowager Empress was guiltless.
