Though so contradictory on some points, it con tinues unanimous as to the consumma tion of the tragedy at Pekin. To con sistent reports of the , massacre of whites are now aded additional horrors that the savage soldiery butchered at the capital 5,000 natives, Roman Cath olic converts. This comes in a Shang hai despatch of July 5, which onlr acids to the reports given by respectable Chinese who have arrived from Chiam Fu and who describe Pekin as an in ferno, the streets literally running with blood. They confirm numerous stories of of executions and untold tortures of the isolated foreigners. Some European sol diers were captured by a mob. Yung Lai, who advocated moderation, was killed by Tuan Tang Yi and Tang Fuh Slan, who issued fresh edicts ordering the merciless extermination of all for eigners in the empire. "PREPARE TO HEAR.

(Bryan has been nominated for the presidency by acclamation - ' by the silver republican convention. Senator Teller placed Bry an in nomination. Loner continued cheering folic ed. H. S. Hazard of Cali fornia, made, the first seconding speech of the nomination and he was followed by Senator Ransom, of Nebraska, who declared that Nebraska is for Bryan because he is an American and has no English ideas. The disappointed, discouraged silver republican convention this afternoon voted "to leave the .fh-olef matter of vice presidential nomination to the na tional committee of the party with plenary power to act in the premises. This action . was taken against the wishes of the majority, who wanted to nominate Towne, and it was only through the strenuous efforts of Sena tor Teller, Towne himself, and his friends that vthey. were prevented from carrying put their desires. At times there was Triuch angry discussion and many delegates left in disgust, vowing they would not vote for Stevenson. Towne was noiifled today of his nomi nation by the. populists at Sioux Falls. Hewill decline the nomination and stump for Bryan and Stevenson.

About a thousand people witnessed the fight. There was little betting. VICE-CONSUL CUDGER - REJUHIIS"FROM PAMAMA For Summer Vacation Likes the Country Very Well. Francis Gudger, vice consul g-eneral at Panama, returned yesterday from Panama, for a summer vacation of about two months The conditions in Panama are greatly strained. The rev olutionists repulsed the government forces at a small place called Chame, about thirty miles from Panama, and retreated back to Panama, some going by land and many by water. The rev olutionists afterwards followed them to Cherrero and intrenched there, six teen miles from Panama. The revolutionists were waiting there supposedly for an expedition from Ecuador with ammunition and arms for the revolutionists. They are expected to attack the city at any time and the government troops are barricaded in all the high buildings. In the battle at Chame twenty of the government forces were killed and fifty wounded. An American artillerist had charge of the government guns. The gun carriage was knocked to pieces. The merchants "and inhabitants are fearful of capture and business suffers accordingly. The Americans "who have large interests there are considerably frig-htehed. The consulate so far has had little trouble in protecting the in terests of the Americans, but has tak en active and thorough steps in prep aration to protect them whatever might arise. Mr.. 5udger has been gone from Asheville nearly two years and is look ing exceedingly well. His health and that of his father has been uniformly good, notwithstanding the ravages of yellow fever and other diseases. His father will probably come home as soon as he returns, provided, of course, the rebellion is over.

DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO APPOINT WHITE JUDGES OF ELECTIONS AND CHOOSE NEGROES IN CRA VEN COUNTT-LUS AND CRAIG AT CANDLER. Kansasffeity; July 6. Adlai E. Stev- y. enson, ofllinois, former vice presi dent of tne United States. ated for vice president on the first bal lot, receiving 559 1-2 of the convention vote, V c -The final day of the democratic con- vttlon broke clear and hot. At 10:45 Chairman Richardson brought the convention to order for its third day's wprk. Immediately following the prayerjthe call of states began for the purpose of making nominations for the vice presidency. ' GreaJ confusion prevailed and verV feW oHhe delegates . were aware of what "was going On Until Alabama and Arkansas, had been passed and Cali fornia wis called. Then the doughty form and florid face of Senator Tfi'Wfe emergedf'from the Calif ornians and in stentorito tones, he demanded know wfcat was going on and that the aisles be cleared of the disorderly in truders. '. When the cbair respoaded mat uaiirornia was Demg called for nominations, Senator White an nounced that California yielded to Ar kansas. "And Arkansas yields to Illinois, to place in nomination Adlai E. Steven son, of Illinois," shouted Jeff Davis, the democratic candidate for governor of Arkansas, standing on a chair and receiving a cheer for his mention of Stevenson. All business was suspended, as the confusion had become so overpowering that the call of the secretaries was in audible above the roar. The police. and sergeants at arms struggled vainly to dispossess the mob, which was now well nigh in control of the floor. Men fought to retain their places and there were many exciting encounters, which at times threatened to precipitate a fight under the eyes of the multitude. It took fifteen minutes to restore 'some semblance of order , and then the spokesman for Illinois, Representative James Williams, presented the name of Stevenson. Mr. Williams spoke rapidly and briefly, and at his mention of Adlai E. Stevenson, Illinois was on its feet cheering wildly. Kansas was up, as was Alabama and Arkansas. Min nesota and a large number of delegates in different parts of the hall. The ap plause while vigorous was short, not lasting above a minute. Whin the roll call reached Connecticut that state gave way to Minnesota amid cheers and cries of "Towne." L. A. Roeslng, of "Minnesota, took the platform to present the name of Charles A. Towne, of his state. When he pronounced the name of Towne there was cheering from the Minnesota delegation, which rose to its feet wav ing flags in frantic fashion. The gal leries joined in the applause, with fer vor, but there was less enthusiasm among the men on the floor who had the votes. While the galleries were enthusiasiner over Mr. Towne. there was. an excited WISDOM hoc ran little group about the chair of ex-Sn ator Hill. In it was Croker. "Tou must take the nomination and save the day," aid Edward Murphy excitedly. "I cannot, I cannot," replied Hill,' his face white; and set. i'l do not want it."; - .", ' "Tou must take it," said Croker." leaning over 'him, while Norman E. Mack and Frank Campbell held him, one on each side, and urged him to ac cept. f: " . : : An excited man from New Jersey, shaking his fingers under Mr. Hill's nope, shouted: "Tou can't refuse, you cant. The party must have you to save the east." "I don't want it. Tou, can name Stevenson.. He's as good as I am," said Hill, and then, turning to Murphy and Croker and prigging his hands, he said: "Please don't force this, please don't." Mr-. Murphy then gave an Indication of a prearranged scheme ; to nominate by sayingVo jthe" excited Jerseyman: "Tou keep aiiiet ?ah .iii will be all right. We have it fixed.' ; Meanwhile the confusion continued to beqygridhnallWthat even after ClJnincaaicad recoe- med Governor; .Tnbfnas, of Colorado, to second the nomination Of Mr. Towne, not a word of his speech" could be heard, by either the delegates or the people in the galleries. Finally after Mr. Thomas had been speaking for a minute or more' former Senator White went to the stand and in a ringing voice warned the conven tion that if order were not restored he would move that the galleries be cleared. When the state of Delaware was called the announcement was made that the state would yield to New Tork. Then the result of the Hill con ference became apparent. A tremendous shout of aDDlause swept through the hall. Delegate Grady, one of the leaders of Tammany hall, had already ascended the plat form, and as' he stepped to the front to address the convention the applause and cheers his first sentence caused rang through the great building In trumpet tones. "On behalf of the democracy of New Tork, I present to this convention fpr nomination of the vice presidency the name of David Bennett Hill," . It was dramatic in the extreme. The effect was electrical. His words setthe convention in a frenzy of enthUsiasmT The scene which 'followe'd Was by far the most tempestuous through the hvill. estate standards were seized and heldtt .a,jS3the. convention was canopied with flattejrjng flasrs and handkerchiefs. Delegates and Specta tors cheered and the great structure fairly shook with the noise when the galleries became infected with the en thuslasm. Mr. Hill meantime had worked his way through the crowd vto the plat form. As he ascended it, his hands were eagerly grasped, and he was es corted to the seat of the permanent chairman. He asked Mr. Grady to yield to him that he might make a state ment but Grady declined. Judge Van Wyck, of the New Pork delegation, hurried to Hill and began an earnest conversation with him, urging him not to decline the nomina tion which evidently seemed to be within his grasp. Hill only shook his head. When finally Mr. Grady was permitted to proceed he said that Gov ernor Hill might decline, "but decline or not," he shouted, "New Tork's united and solid 72 votes will be cast to the end for David Bennett Hill. While Senator Hill on the platform waited for quiet and Senator Grady to finish his speech, he kept repeating I will not take it." To Senator Grady he said: "This is absolutely un fair. Tou should, not do it." Judge Van Wyck kept urging him to accept and not make a declination. Hill was obdurate. His face was like marble, his hand trembled and he wiped the perspiration from his brow. While Grady was speaking Hill ask- (Continued on fourth page.)

Walser to speak to our people did not- reach the county until five days' ago, and although wheat harvesting is in full swing and the corn choked with grass, caused by our numerous ' heavy rains, yet early in the morning a splendid representative body of the honest mountain yeomanry began to pour into the village to hear these two great friends of the people tell of the dangers which confront the people of our state. The speakers arrived at eleven o'clock, a.m., and at one o'clock, p. m. Mr. H. R. McNeill introduced Judge Adams to the audience of 600, nearly all of whom were voters, who had assembled in front of Jefferson inn. Mr. McNeill spoke in part as fol lows: "In 1861 South Carolina and Missis sippi led us into a war which could have been avoided and avoided by mu tual concessions and in honor a war which bathed our green hills (and fer tile valleys in the best blood of our sons . "So today these states are trying: to lead us Into paths' of political death and bondage; into a state of political serfdom and hopelessness.
