No Opposition Develops to Election o f Senor Obaldia. Panama, July 14.—The presidential elections throughout the Isthmus of Panama passed off Saturday without disturbance. Jose Domingo de Obal dia, formerly minister to the United States, and acting president during the absence of Dr. Amador, was e’ect- td president. The supporters of Ricardo Arias, who recently withdraw his candidacy, decided not to vote, and as a consequence no opponent to Senior Obuldia was placed in nomi nation. Notwithstanding this a large num ber of voters registered their choice ami demonstrated the overwhelming majority of Senor Obaldia’s support crs. From all parts of the republic news is received here that the elections were carried on in an orderly man ner, and that Senor Obaldia revived all the votes cast At the conclusion of the balloting enthusiastic crowds, headed by a band of music, paraded the streets of Panama, cheering con tinuously for the newly elected presi dent. There appeared to be an absolute absence of ill-fecliflg between the for nicr supporters of Senator Ari is and the adherents of Senor Obaldia Never before has such a friendly spirit been shown so quickly after an elec tion. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ N E W C H A R G E S FOR A D A M S .

Colo., July 14.— In troduction of evidence tor the defense will begin today in the trial of Steve Adams, a member of the Western Federation of Miners, on the charge of murdering Arthur Collins, mine superintendent at Telluride. Despite Judge Sprigg Shackelford’s decision ruling out Adams’ alleged confession of this murder, the end is not yet in sight in the cases growing out of the murders and mysterious disappearances that occurred during the troubles in the mining camps <>f Colorado. If Adams is acquitted lie wall be immediately re-arrested, charged either with the murder of Detective I.yte Gregory at Denver, or with having set off the bomb at the Indepedence depot at Cripple Creek, when 13 miners were killed.

Denver, Colo., July 10— (3:45 A. M .)— W illiam J Bryan has ju»t been nominated for president of the United States by the Democratic national convention. It was a sweeping vic tory, the vote being: Bryan .......................................... BMA Johnson ........................................ 46 Gray ............................................ 5oJ Not voting .................................... 6 The nomination was immediately made unanimous, and at 3:40 A. M the convention adjourned until 1 P M. today. The defeat of the “ allies’" was more than a defeat; it was a rout. After all their boasting of their ability to withhold from Bryan more than one third of the vote on the first ballot and thus prevent his nomination with out a struggle, all they could muster was a beggarly 103i votes out of a total of 1006 . New York remained silent as to its intention until the last moment, then cast its entire 7» votes under the unit rule for Bryan, after a poll in which Parker, Sheehan and Chairman Con ners sullenly refused to respond. The nomination was the closing scene of a night of the tn>>si delirious excitement ever witnessed even in a Democratic convention The wait for the report of the committee on reso lution* was prolonged until midnight, and after an hour of freelance ora tory the delegates decided to get the agony of nominating speeches over as soon as possible. They therefore sus pended the rules and called ior noun nations before the platform was re ported. I L. Dunne, of Omaha, electrified the convention with a lurid panegyric on the Commoner, and at its cone hi sion every Bryan delegation joined in a most tumultuous outburst of rn thusiasm. They tore the state stand ards from their fastenings and marched around the hill, beating drums, blowing horns, clashing cytn bals, bearing down every person wh< came in their way, women included They massed the standards around the speaker’s stand, and waved them so recklessly that they tore the dec orative'eagles from their perches. This din continued to rise and fajl by turns for an hour and 14 minute in a vast building packed so densely with humanity that it was impossible for any person in the galleries to move in his seat and with many of the aisles and doorways jammed so that ingress or egress was impossib'e A lesser demonstration greeted the nomination o f Governor Johnson, o f Minnesota, by Winfield Scott Ham mond. On an ordinary occasion this demonstration would have been con sidered very much out of the com mon. for it continued for 14 minutes, and the cheers and yells made up in earnestness what they lacked in vol ume. Judge Gray’s name was greeted with a spasmodic outburst of cheering from the scattered delegations which supported him, hut bv this time every bodv was too much exhausted for any prolonged demonstration The adoption of the platform was marked by an outbreak of decided ill- feel'ng A resolution in favor of the celebration of the centcnarv of Abra ham Lincoln's birth had been declared carried unanimously, when I. I. Strau. of Maryland, attempted to of fer an amendment. His voice was drowned by hoots and when later, in seconding the nomination of Bryan he tried to explain his intention to move the addition of the name of R E Lee to the resolution, he was how'ed down so furiously that he wg* forced to abandon the attempt to make a speech.
