Mr. Bryan is to have his way about it There will be specific mention of free silver in the Kansas City platfoim. This much is by every Democrat of promi- ' .nenee in the city today. Most of these iJcuiocrats come direct I from Kansas City for the purpose of talking with l'ryau about the plat-form. Tin most prominent today .was Kx Congressman Kerr, of l'ennsylvania, sec retary of the Democratic National Con gressional Committee. He came here for the purpose of telling IJryan tUat a poll of the delegations by Congressional districts shows a luverwhclming major ity ior mete reaffirmation, without spe cific mention. Mr. Kerr, with J-Jx-C'on-gressnian MuUh'et . or Kaston, and Mayor J'ritchcy, of Ilarrisburg. took dinner with Mr. Ilryan and spent the afternoon with him. After his retur!i i Mr. Kerr said: . "Things are shaping np 'well, and the construction of the platform is practi- calh- d'cided. It will reaffirm the Chi cago platform anl have an ailditional plank setting out specifically free coin age of silver at the legal ratio, as it will also have an. additional plank on the trust n:c:i u." Mr. Kerr Ha- decidedly enthusiastic over t!ie j :o-:io -t for harmony on an si des at Kan-Vs City and the probability of i'ryan's ultimate election with a com- rortaoie working majority in me riouse to assi-t him.

Washington. July 2. As the situation in China becomes more grave and near er a crisis and the relations between the" ivowers and the Chinese govern ment grow more strained. Minister Wu "apioars more and more reticent. In fact, he remains in his office at the lega tion, refuses to see. other than official callers, and when newspaper men ap pear he will not see them unless they have some information to impart. A reporter called at the' legation to day ami sent in his eardv In a short while the messenger returned aijd said: "The minister presents his . compli ments, but' he cannot see you unless ou have some startling news to im part. He begs to say j that he has no news other than that lie had-read in the morning papers, ami has received no. official confirmation o fthe killing of the (erirnni minister by the Uoxers in Tonkin." .- i In reply to another question the min ister said through his messenger that he had not quite made up his mind wheth er he would go to Philadelphia to de liver an address on Independence Day as he planned. He said that there had Ikch so 'lunch adverse i newspaper com ment on the subject that he was still in doubt about making tbe proposed trip. Fear Has the Better of Hope. London. July 2. Drj" DeBergen's elo quent "hasten" in his letter to Colonel Zimmerman at Tien Tsin. has intensi fied the anxiety concerning the foreign er in IVkin throughout L'urope, and whatever hopes' had been , based on the reports that the llussian or combined relief forces were approaching or had arrived at the Chinese capital seems to be crushed by Mr. Hrodrick's announce ment in the House of Commons that Admit til Hruce thought it was not yet ... - . , t 1 1 A. . . . possible ror me ai.eu. iiM-e u aiteuipr i further advance., ii i .rpmomrieni here-that even if the foreign force of J3,- IKHI men who. have now been landed at Taku were homogenous it would be practically ixiwerlcss to act while its composite character and the failure to cUt'ist a leader greauy iuiinr us em- . i .

All th Democrats are coming back to us. They will all vote for IJryan this fall with very few exceptions and those exceptions von can conn on the fingers on one hand.' The questions that will absorb the attention of the people this fall will lie trusts and imperialism. We might come out and stand on the money plank alone and vet these two other issues wouk arise for soneideration and would have i receive attention. As to the vice presidency, our delegation has not had dWting vet and I cannot say just where we will stand, but personally, I am qnit( favorable to Shive'v. Our Mate, plat form reaffirmed the .Chicago platform without a sneoilic reiteration of the money plank, but Ave will stand for re iteration at Kansas City." .Mr. Hill, Mr. Maguire and Mr. Mc- Hugh. lelt at early this morning : for Kansas City. Not a word would any one say of the conference of last night Mr. IJryan was equally silent to the reporters. bilt he gave n good clue to what his ultimatum was in his first open air speech of the campaign. This speech was delivered to the Colorado delega tion which called upon him JoO strong this morning. It was the dedication of his new front porch. J lie delegation was headed by a band. After an ad dress by the chairman of the delega tion. Mr. liryan said m part: I am sure that Colorado people are no more axiou.s ror mo realization or the principles, of the Democratic plat form than are the people of many other States. Hut I want to say to you that when Colorado forsakes the principle of 1 f to.l. and when the people have ceased in their support of the principle, will be found stiil fighting even though alone. The JJepublicans held their na tional convention on the anniversary of the foundation of. their party," thereby exhibiting a partisan spirit. The Dem ocrats will hold their convention in Kansas City July 4, the anniversary of the birth of the nation, thereby mani festing a patriotic spirit. The Repub licans would repeal the declaration' of independence, the Democrats would re affirm it everywhere, throughout ' the world. There is one great principle to be fought in the coming campaign and that is whether or not the dollar shall be placed above the man. Whenever man and the dollar come in conflict the Republican parts stands for the dol lar first: the Democrats for the man. Where there was one reason in 1S9 for carrying Colorado tor the JJemocratic ticket there are sixteen reasons r now. The Democratic party stands for the same principles in the north as well as in the 'south, the east as in the west. OurV is a party where its speakers do not have "to revise their speeches for each section of the county they visit. When Mr." Bryan concluded some en thusiasts suggested three cheers and a tiger for him. . They were given with will and so wen that another demand ed a i repetition. (Continued on Pago Seven.) The Oregon Way Be Saved. Washington. July 2. The following dispatch relating to the Oregon was re ceived by Secretary Jxng today: Chefoo, July 1. Oregon has run aground. She is not in a dangerous posi tion: about o degrees north latitude, degrees 40 ruinntes longitude. Have sent to her assistance three naval vessels. It is reported that there is water in one compartment. The commander of the Oregon; did not- require assistance, a Japanese man-o-war having larded tfea vessel. , KEMPFP. i . Kansas City, July 2. The lj)emocratifc National Committee met at 10:40 o'clock this morning, Chairman Jonfs, presid ing, for the purpose of selecting the tem porary officers for the convention which will begin its session Wednesday. It is understood that Mavor Rose, of Mil waukee, wRl be chosen the (temporary chairman, and Representative Richard son, of Tennessee, the permanent pre siding officer of the convention. Thp committee, however, will notf decide jup- Hn the temporary officers until tomor row. j The ether purpose of the national com- Lniittees to consider the claims of the contesting delegations. There are four contests and they are all complete. They are those of the Clark-Daly, delegates from Montana, and rival bodies cjioses in Indian Terriotyr, Oklahoma and the District of Columbia. The contests were refe 'd to sub-committees j which be gan their work at 11 o'clock!. An effort -was made to throw thelMon tan -use into the Committee on' Cre dentials, thus ; giving the Clark delega tion n place on the roll, but this; was defeated. i - I The chairman of the sub-committees named by the national committee to consider the contests are: Williams, of Massachusetts, on the Mantana case; Daniels, of North Carolina.! on the In dian Territory case: Urey Woodson, of Kentucky, on: the District Of Uoluinoia case; Senator iKenriey, of Delaware, on the Oklahoma c::se. j According to the views of numerous ."delegates, the pL.tform 'will) be the Chi cago declaration with at least seven ne-.v planks. j The latter will deal with trusts, im perialism, a demand that Cuba, be de livered to the Cubans, a denunciation of the Porto. Ricau tariff,1 and of the gold 'Standard law passed (last winter, and an expression of sympathy with the Boers. ! - - There are strong advocates of planks to denounce the course of j the adminis traep in connection with the Couer .I'Abi-.e" trot hies, the price: paid for ar mor plate, and in favor of building war ships in the navy yards. The invasion of China is scarcely likely to be consid ered. The trouble, it L? contended, is not fully developed, and Colonel Bryan is said to be opposed to criticism of the action taken to protect American lives ami property. - The platform now overshadows the contest for the vice-presidency. New York may get the place if it will agree upon a man. Croker said today that New York will support whoever is nom inated bv the convention. ' , The Sulzer boom is still demonstra tive, but, it is said, has gained compara tive little strength. Towne's canvass is said to be growing. It j was reported todav that Shively will discuss the ques tion "of entering the race with the In diana delegation when its members reach the city. J. nauiiuuu Washington, will get a number of votes, but thev will be useful phieny m ad vancing his senatorial chances. Richard Metcalf, of .Nebraska, is pop ularly mentioned for chairman of the committee on resolutions pleasantries with Representative" John, Lentz, of- Columbus, Ohio, who was journeying ito the Kansas City - conven tion on the same train. C. C. Philbriek, chairman of the Ohio delegation, which is seeking to have the Democratic-na tional headquarters located in Columbus this j-ear, escorted Mr. Lentz into Gov ernor Roosevelt's private car and made the introduction. The New York gov ernor and the Ohio representative greet ed each other very cordially, and in the course of a brief conversation Governor Roosevelt stated it as his opindoii that it would be impolitic for. the .Democratic convention to weaken on tlie silver ques tion. "The Deonle don't like a. quitter, was the way the governor expressed . at. Mr. 'Lentz '-conceded. that. it v.nld weaken the party to take, any backward step on silver. Mr.. lentz was aftarward asii- ed'for his opinion of the candidacy of David B. Hill for Vice-President.' "I am not against. Mr. Hill personally, he said "but I believe in a consistent ticket and anv ticket that would make a controversy within our own household would not be consistent. Moreover, there are very few people who are going to vote either: war on - account ot tne tail of the ticket." Former Governor "John P. Alteeld, of Illinois, also reached .Kansas City today. -1 BUTLER'S STRONG POLL -A. Our Senator's Henchmen on the Senate Pay Roll.
