ODELL MAKES A STATEMENT Alleged Plot to Assassinate President McKlnley Is Ridiculed. Nkwiu kgh, N. Y., July 11. Chair man 11. B. Odell of the Republican com nnrtt e said concerning the alleged plot to assassinate President McKinley: ' I have read the account in a New York paper with reference to an alleged plot V) assa-ssiiiate the president and alio as to the part which I am supposed to hare taken in the matter. I have nothing to !iy upon the subject. except that I have made an investigation which . I started with the state committee "detective on the line of what I supposed to be politi cal information and I discovered either ti crank or a Baron Munchausen, and on the principle that an ounce of preven tion is worth a jxmud of cure, it is prob able that my report 'to Secretary Dick is the cause for the extra care now being taken of the president.' I have nothing farther to say on thissubject except that I regret that some one has been indis creet enough to make of a trifling matter the gigantic plot published in the papers. 1 1 anna Says Story Is False. Cleveland, July 11. Senator Hanna, referring to the report that a plot to as sassinate President McKinley had been discovered in New York, emphatically declared that the story was faLM.

The Demo cratic convention has completed its work and adjourned. Adlai K Stevenson, of Illinois, was placed on the ticket with W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, at the head. Bryan was nominated for president by acclamation, while Stevenson won out oyer Towne, Hill and other strong men. Kansas City, July 6. Bryan by ac clamation and with a display of enthusi asm demonstrating harmony In party ranks and an honesty in Democratic victory. A platform splendidly American, mag nificently Democratic in every sentence given a remarkable reception. A record breaking day as conventions go such a day, taken as a whole, as no other convention has ever known. From the beginning of the morning session until the close at night, there was never a dull moment. Nowhere else in the world and at no time has there been such a continuous, spontane ous outburst of enthusiasm honest en thusiasm from the heart. There was nothing of the manufactured article in all this. The presentation of Bryan's name and the announcement of his nomination were greeted by outbursts of the same character as when Chairman Richardson first mentioned his name to the conven tion. Perfect pandemoniums of happi ness and joy were these. Nor was the personal tribute paid Hill of New York, unexpected. Tip efforts of the convention to get Hill t Juhe front before this indicated what the delegates would do if they were given the chance. But there were two outbursts of par ticular significance, two that were not among the expected. One of these was over Webster Davis,, recently a favored son in the McKinley household, who made a brilliant and fervid speech re nouncing allegiance to McKinley and McKinleyism, and declaring for Bryan. The other unexpected demonstration was that over the platform. Nobody ex pected mnch in the demonstration line over the platform, but the unexpected happened. To Senator Tillman fell the lot of reading the platform, and splen didly did he perform the task. Close attention was paid to every sentence. There was liberal applause up to the paragraph denning the party's position against Republican imperialism. As the reading of that, with its climax declar ing this to be the paramount issue of the campaign, Was completed, there fol lowed an outburst which can only be de scribed as marvelous. No other word fits the case. That vast audience broke I into a paruxyjuu ox enuiutuiuunr iubxm- frt:fxw1 in nrmnai vnhln wav. Tn n instant 20,000 flags flashed in the air and for half an hour there was a wonderful display of patriotic fervor over this mag nificent utterance of Democratic policy. Oldham of Nebraska, who presented Mr. Bryant name, has rather a tragio manner, but former Senator Hill was tho dramatic figure among those who made seconding speeches, but his was by no means the only good speech. DOWAGERAGAIN IN POWER. Directs the Viceroys to Save the For eigners at Any Cost. Washington, July 10. The secretary of state has received a dispatch from Consul Goodenow, at Shanghai, stating that it is given out by the governor of Shan Tung that the legations wero standing on July 5 and that the outlaws were dispersing. Mr. Goodenow adds that this statement does not obtain gen eral credence. Shanghai, July 10. News from offi cial sources has been received to the effect that the empress dowager had, on June 30, resumed the reins of govern ment and appointed Yung Lu prime minister. z It ia said that she sent a dispatch to Nankin by courier, at the rate of 100 miles per day thanking the viceroys of Yang Tse Kiang provinces for their loy- altv. and recommending that they pro tect foreigners at any cost. London, July 10. The Chinese offi cial sources furnish another surprise in announcing that the dowager empress, who had been reported within two weeks dead, fled, poisoned and hopelessly mad, . . m - m mi has resumed tne reins oi power, ine date given is June 30, the same on which the wholesale massacre of foreigners is alleged to have occurred. NEGRO LABORERS IN DEMAND Wanted In Hawaii to Supplant the Japanese Farm Hands. Honolulu, July 10. It is to the ne groes of the southern states that the plantation owners of the Hawaiian Islands will turn for relief in the matter of the vexed labor question. John Hind and J. B. Collins of the Kohala planta tion have gone to the southern states in quest of negro laborers. They have as surance that 300 or 400 can be recruited at New Orleans. The plantation will pay their expenses to the country and give them $80 per month. If enough negro labor can be secured the services of the Japanese will be dispensed with altogether. Enormous War Indemnities. Ltsia, Peru, July 10. Garland's new pamphlet treating of the war indemnity collected by Chile from Peru and Boli Tia since 1879, has made a decided im pression here. The figures are given which show that by 1935 Chile will have received for nitrate and iodine from the Peruvian province of Tarapaca, $2,350, 000,000 (Chilean), and from Bolivia $650,000,000, Thus the war indemnity paid to Chile will reach $3,000,000,000, a greater sum than France paid to Ger many. Slowly Boiled to Death. San Jose, CaL, July 10. George A. Morse, an aged and absolutely helpless patient in the Agnew Insane asylum, was slowly boiled to death in a bath in the men's ward of that institution. He was placed in a bathtub and after the hot water was turned on the attendant left the room for a towel. patient and did not return until the un- lwcOo was fatally POINTS OF THE PLATFORM. Synopsis of the Leading Issues of the Campaign. Kansas City,. July 6. Following are the principal points of the Democratic platform: Reaffirmation of allegiance to the con stitution. Government not based on the consent of the governed is tyranny. Porto Rican law enacted ay the Re publican congress is denounced, as it taxes, without representation, people who were pledged to hone3t treatment. Prompt fulfillment of our promises to the Cuban people is demanded that the raid of the carpet-buaggers may be cut short. Policy of the present administration in the Philippines is condemned and de nounced because it puts the United States in the false and un-American po sition of crushing with military force the efforts of former allies to achieve Lu3rty and self government. Favors election of United States sena tors by the people. OpiKwes government by injunction, denounces the black list and favors ar bitration. Recommends that congress create a department of labor in charge of a sec retary with a seat in the cabinet. Insists on the reduction and speedy repeal of the war taxes and a return to the time-honored Democratic policy of strict economy in governmental expend itures. Demands the continuance and strict enforcement of the Chinse exclusion law and its applicalion to the same classes of all Asiatic races. Favors the immediate construction, ownership and control of the Nicaragua canal by the United States, and de nounces the insincerity of the plank in the national Republican platform for an isthmian canal in the face of the failure of the Republican party to pass the bill pending in congress. Views with indignation the purpose of England to overwhelm with force the South African republics, and speaking for the entire American nation except its Republican officeholders, and for all freemen everywhere, it extends our sympaties to the heroic burghers' in their unequal struggle to maintain their lib erty and independence. A strict maintenance of the Monroe doctrine is demanded as necessary to prevent extension of European author ity on this cemiinemt sMd "as essential to our sjipremacyiaAmerican affairs. Condemns the Dteley tariff as a trust breeding measure, skilfully devised to give the few favors which they do not desire, and to place upon the many bur dens which they should not bear. Opposes militarism, as it means con quest abroad and intimidation and op pression at home. It means the strong 'arm which has" ever been fatal to free institutions. It is what millions of our citizens have fled from in Europe. Private monopolies are designated as indefensible and intolerable, as they de stroy competition, control the price of all material and of the finished product, thus robbing both producer and con sumer: and lessen the employment of labor and arbitrarily fix the terms and conditions thereof and deprive individ ual energy and small capital of their op portunity for betterment. The principles of the national Demo cratic platform adopted at Chicago in 1896 are reaffirmed and indorsed and the demand of that platform for an Ameri can financial system made by the Amer ican people themselves, who shall re store and maintain a bemetallic price level, as part of such system the imme diate restoration of the free and unlim ited coinage of silver and gold .-at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, is reiterated.

O, committed suicide in the police station in this city by hanging himself with a leather strap taken from his valise.

According to officials of the Baltimore and Ohi6 railroad a deliberate attempt ta wreck the W&shington express bearing $3,000, 000 to the subtreasury in New York came near being successful at Folsom, a short distance outside of this city. The train consisted of two sleepers, two day coaches and three baggage cars and left Washington at 11:30 o'clock last night.' li was due herw-at 'ilCr o'clock this morning. j -While going at a good rate of I speed, it ran into an open switch at Folsom. The engine was overturned and three baggage cars were derailed, but no one was injured. j An examination of the switch: by the railroad men disclosed the fact, that the switch had been tampered with, for the apparent purpose of wrecking the train. Whether it was done withthe intention of wrecking the express bearing the cur rency could only be conjectured. The railroad officials have, placed detectives on the case and have offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of those tampering with the switch, j WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOR His Social Career In London Brought to an Abrubt Close. London, July 11. William Waldorf Astor's sudden departure for Germany at the very height of the season, the can- celling of all his engagements here and 1 the recall of the invitations which he had issued for house parties on next Sunday and on next Sunday week, at Cliveden, are regarded as signalizing the closing of his social career in Lon don. It is openly-declared here that the Prince of Wales, who is the supreme arbiter of English society, has cut him in consequence of his insulting: treat ment of Sir Archibald Milne last week and London is only too ready to take its cue in the matter from its future king, as Mr. Astor, in spite of his wealth and the magnificence of his entertainments, has made many enemies by his numer ous idiosyncrasies and by his extraordin ary arrogance. ; DELEGATES ARE ARRIVING.

Senator Tillman. IColujibia, S. O, July 3. Politicians are puzzled over the situation in the governorship contest. There are four candidates,- any one of whom hare a fighting chaiice, and it is impossible to say which one is the strongest man. So far it has been impossible to form an es timate of their individual strength. It is a neck and neck race between Iloyt, Gary, McSweeney and Patterson. That Hoyt is a very strong man is evidenced at each campaign mooting, while the same thing also applies to Gary, while McSweeney's friends show plainly that, thus far, the campaign has been a dis appointment to them, but state that, being the only straightout dispensary candidate, Senator Tillman will throw his support to the governor, thus insur ing his success. It is alo apparent that other candi dates are seeking the indorsement of Senator Tillman, who thus far has re frained from expressing any preference. There are some who state that no matter who Tillman , supports, it will have little effect on the general result, as it is more the man and his qualifica tions for the office than his platform. But Senator Tillman's influence in the rural districts is well known, and should he declare for either of the can didates, it is safe to state that his mar will be in the second primary. Gary Is Confident. j Abbevtixe, S. C, July 10. Hon. Frank B. Gary, candidate for governor, has returned to his home here for a two weeks' rest. He has stood the campaign well, and states that he has made decid ed gains in every county visited, and hal no doubt he will be the next governor oi South Carolina. ICE PLANTS CLOSED DOWN.

McMahan, state superin tendent of public instruction, spoke for the educational interests of South Caro lina The freedom of the city of Charleston was tendered the delegates by Mayor J. Adger Smythe. Responses for the educators were made by Dr. E. Cram tyte of Millersville, Pa., J. W. Carr of Anderson, Ind., and J. A. Foshay of Los Angeles. President Carson delivered his annual addresHs. " Dr. W. M. R. Harper, president of the university of Chicago, was the princi pal speaker at the morning session of the National Council of Education, which is being held in Charleston in conjunc tion with the National Educators' con vention. Dr. Harper made a personal report as chairman of the committee on a national university. Dr. Harper's re port recommended that such a univer sity be not established. He believed that a museum of a national character should be placed in Washington, as there were many splendid institutions there, any one of which would form a splendid nucleus for such a school. Dr. Harper's report did not differ materially from one made by him on the same sub ject recently in the north. The reading was followed by a long and at times in teresting discussion, most of which foreshadowed the council's opposition to Dr. Harper's idea, WRIGHT HELD FOR MURDER.
