If the Parker resolution Is Intro

Judge. Parker's resolution seems
entirely proper end fills the bill com
pletely. Frank M. Day, secretary to
Governor Johnson.
Every proposition which might give
rise to controversy should be pulled
out by the roots. Judge M. B. Wade,
of Iowa.
These expressions are but thinly
veiled attacks on Mr. Bryan. Mayor
James C. Dahlman, of Omaha.
Mr. Cleveland's memory should be
paid the highest tribute, but the
Parker resolution seems open to criti
cism. Joeiah Marvel, of the Gray
headquarters.
The attempt to drag the dead body
of Grover Cleveland from Its new
made grave Is the act of a shameless
hypocrite. Henry Watterson.
DENVER, July 2. Charging that Alton
B. Parker's resolution of tribute to the
memory of ex-President Grover Cleveland
Is a clever move on the part of the ene
mies of William Jennings Bryan to In
fuse factional feeling into the Demo
cratic National convention, friends of the
Nebraskan tooay determined to offer a
resolution of a character designed not
to raise controverted political issues.
Through control of the temporary organ
ization of the convention, the Bryan fol
lowing expects to have its resolution
brought to tue attention of the delegates
Immediately after the speech of the
permanent chairman has been delivered.
In that event tne Parker resolution would
have to be offered as a substitute, if
submitted at all, and the Bryan men de
clare that the New York delegation
would thereby be placed in the attitude
of attempting. In the guise of eulogizing
a great party leader, to create strife and
dissension and to make harmony impos
sible. Pay Tribute Without Stinger.
All Democrats, without regard to fac
tional affiliations, applaud the suggestion
coming from New York that the National
convention should embrace the first op
portunity of honoring the memory of Mr.
Cleveland, but most of those who have
expressed themselves on the subject are
of the opinion that the resolutions
adopted should not contain anything over
which there could be the slightest dif
ference of opinion.
The New York resolution, which was
made public last night,' is denounced
by such Bryan leaders as Mayor James
C. Dahlman, of Omaha, and Judge M. E.
Wade, of Iowa, the member of the Na
tional committee from that state. They
declare that Its adoption would be a di
rect slap at Mr. Bryan and insist that
In giving It out for publication the New
York delegation intended to disparage
the Nebraska candidate. The portions of
the resolution which particularly aroused
the) Ire of the friends of Mr. Bryan re
late to Mr. Cleveland's record on the
questions of maintaining the Integrity of
the courts and finance, the paragraphs
being as follows:
Veiled Attack on Bryan.
He respected the Integrity of our courts
and so Insisted upon strict enforcement of
the law, that every honest man or interest
might be protected and all offenders pun
ished wUhout fear or favor.
He maintained the public credit and honor,
stood Arm as a rock in defense of sound prin
ciples of finance arid resisted dangerous
economic doctrines and practices left by the
Republican party as a heritage of our peo
ple. It was said today by Mr. Dahlman
that these expressions are thinly veiled
attacks upon Mr. Bryan and his well
known attitude on the question of adopt
ing an anti-Injunction plunk and his po
sition In 1S96 and 1C00 on the money ques
tion. Bryan Avoiding Strife.
"These questions have no proper place.
said Mr. Dahlman. "in resolutions In
tended only to honor the name of the
late Mr. Cleveland. - Mr. Bryan's personal
tribute to the memory of the late ex
President was of a character proving that
no man honored Mr. Cleveland more nor
would go further In giving him credit
for advancing the interests of the Demo
cratic party. It is true that Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Cleveland held different views
on many questions of party policy and,
with the rare tact which he always ex
hibits, Mr. Bryan refrained from any
allusions that might provoke strife In
the party. It la my opinion that the

American Consul Secures Imposition

tack on Mission.
SEOUL, July 2. A Japanese soldier
ran amuck today through the American
Methodist missionary premises at Ping
Yang. He assaulted a. Corean caretaker
with a bayonet, chasing him through the1
missionary residence.
American ' ConstU Sammons, when In
formed of the affair, called at the Jap
anese residency and demanded the pun
ishment of the soldier.
By order of Prince I to the soldier was
arrested and Immediately sentenced to
two months' hard labor. The colonel,
major, captains and lieutenants of the
regiment to which the soldier belonged
will be disciplined by a confinement of
from three to seven days.
The prompt action of Prince Ito Is sig-

tions on Cleveland Stir Up

nitlcant of the determination of the Jap
anese Resident-General that the soldiers
maintain a proper attitude toward for
eigners. The charge against the soldier
was the violation of an American home,
and the disciplining of the officers was
due to the fact that soldiers of the same
regiment recently participated In the
damaging jt an American Presbyterian
missionary school building at Wiju. In
that case all damage was repaired by
order of the Resident-General.
DEBS' NAME CAUSES STORM
Socialist Labor Party Shocked at
Mention for Presidency.
NEW YORK, July 2. The name of
Eugene V. Debs, candidate for President
on the Socialist party ticket, was pre
sented for Indorsement unexpectedly to
day at the convention of the Socialist
Labor party here. Mr. Debs was practi
cally read out of the Socialist Labor
party at a Chicago gathering of the par
ty some time . ago, and the presentation
of his name tnrew the convention into
an uproar and until the meeting was
adjourned for tne day at 6:45 P. M. he
was the BUbject of stormy discussion.
A man and a woman, members of the
Socialist Party Unity Leagrue, offered his
name for indorsement. When the dele
gates had recovered from the shock an
effort was made to have the question go
over, but Daniel de Leon, the chairman,
demanded that the question be settled
once for all. A long discussion ensued,
nearly every one of the 23 delegates
taking occasion to explain why he was
not in favor of Mr. Debs.

LINCOLN, Neb.i July 2. (Special.)
Opening with a sharp challenge to the
Republicans for falling to put into their
platform specific declaration upholding
the policies "professed" by the Roosevelt
administration, the platform that will be
sent from Lincoln to the resolution com
mittee of the Democratic National con
vention at Denver has been about com
pleted. It follows closely the lines of the
Nebraska platform, as written by Mr.
Bryan last March, and is one of . the
shortest enunciations of the kind In the
modern political history of the country.
Following the arraignment of the Re
publicans for retreating from ' the "ad
vanced position" taken by their "titular"
leader during the last four years, the
document will contain a fitting reference
to the death of Grover Cleveland. Platform-builders
at Denver will then have
these subjects, In phraseology approxi
mately as here presented, to deal with
as a basis for tnelr operation:
"We, the representatives of the De
mocracy of the United States In delegate
convention assembled, reaffirm our faith
In, and pledge our loyalty to, the prin
ciples of our party.
Exposed Predatory Wealth.
"We rejoice at the increasing signs of
awakening In the United States. The
various Investigations have traced graft
and political corruption to the representa
tives of predatory wealth and laid bare
the unscrupulous methods by which they
have debauched elections and preyed upon
a defenseless public through the sub
servient officials whom they have' raised
to place and power.
"The conscience of the Nation Is now
aroused and will. If honestly appealed to,
free the Government from the grip of
those who have made It a business asset
of the favor-seeking corporations. It must
become again 'a Government of the peo
ple, by the people and for the people and
be administered In its departments ac
cording to the Jeffersonian maxim, 'equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none.'

this time; It manifests itself in all the

SEATTLE, Wash., July 2. (Special.)

a small blue "nightie" In a shoe box.
lying between the rails of a spur track
behind a packing-house In the south
ern part of the city.
It had apparently lain there for
hours, and switch engines, must have
passed over its head half a dozen times.
It is regarded as a miracle that bot
coals from the firebox of some of the
engines did not fall into the baby's
rude cradle and set fire to its clothing.
The switchman who found it was
standing beside the track, preparing to
cut out a string of empty cars, when
he heard a cry. Investigating, he found
the infant in its blue robe tucked away
In the old white shoe box and howling
like mad.
He gathered it up and carried it to
police headquarters and thence it was
taken to the home of the police ma
tron, where it is now known as "Frank
Gotch," because when Mrs. De Han's
young son poked his finger Into the
bundle to see what it contained, the
youngster seized the finger with his
foot, taking, as it were, a "toe hold."

DEATH ANGEL CLOSE BY
Bishop Potter Rapidly Sinks "and
Hope Is Abandoned.
' COOPERSTOWN, N. Y., July 2. The
passage of another day in Bishop Potter's
illness has left him with a reserve of
vitality so small, that his survival, it
is feared, is but a matter of hours. At
9:30 o'clock tonight his physicians Issued
the following bulletin:
"Bishop Potter after rallying somewhat
during the early forenoon, has gradually
lost strength and at the present moment
is weaker than at any time during his
illness.
(Signed) "E. J. JANVRIN, M. D.
"M. I. BASSETT, M. D."
Bishop Potter's condition after a fairly
comfortable night was found to be prac
tically unchanged this morning. As the
day wore cn he lost strength, although
at one time during the forenoon there
seemed to be a turn for the better.
Late this afternoon the patient's
strength began ebbing at a faster rate,
and, tonight came the bulletin Indicating
speedy approach of the end. All of the
bishop's family are now at Fernlelgh,
except three of his daughters.'
At 12:30 o'clock this morning the con
dition of Bishop Potter was reported as
very low. None of the members of the
family had retired and all were at the
bedside or within a moment's call.
