BRYAN IS NOMINATED
Unanimous Choice of Kansas

ON A FREE COINAGE PLATFORM
Webster Davis Arraigns t lie Republican
Party for Lack of -Sympathy

Kansas City, July 6. William
J. Bryan, of Nebraska, was tonight
unanimously placed in nomination as
the Democratic candidate for president
of the United States, on a plat form op
posing imperialism, militarism and
trusts, ami specifically declaring for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1.
The nomination came as the culmina
tion of a frenzied demonstration in
honor of the pat ty leader, lasting 27
minutes, and giving utterance to all
the pent-up emotions of the vast mul

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Imperialism
Announced as
mount issue.
the Para-
Kansas City, July 6. Following is
the official text of the platform aa
ageed upon by the committee on reso
lutions and presented to the conven
tion: We, the representatives of the Demo
cratic party of the United States, as
sembled in national convention on the
anniversary of the adoption of the Dec
laration of Independence, do reaffirm
our faith in that immortal proclama
tion of the inalienable rights of Ameri
cans and our allegiance to the constitu
tion framed in harmony therewith by
the fathers of the republic.
We hold with the United States su
preme court that the Declaration of
Independence is the spirit of our gov
ernment, of which the constitution ia
the form and letter. We declare again
that all governments instituted among
men derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed; that any gov
ernment not based upon the consent of
the governed is tyranny; and that to
impose upon any people a government
of force is to substitute the methods ol
imperialism for those of the republic.
Believing in these fundamental prin
ciples, we denounce the Puerto Rican
Taw enacted by a Republican congress,
gainst the protest and opposition of
e Democratic minority, as a bold and
-open violation of the nation's organic
law and a flagrant breach of the na
tional good faith.
We condemn and denounce the Phil
ippine policy of the present administra
tion. It has embroiled the republic in
an unnecessary war, sacrificed the
lives of many of its noblest sons and
placed the United States, previously
known and applauded throughout the
world as the champion of freedom, in
the false and un-American position of
crushing with military force the efforts
of our former allies to achieve liberty
and self-government.
We oppose militarism. It means
conquest abroad and intimidation and
oppiession at home. It means the
strong arm which has ever been fatal to
free institutions. .
We pledge the Democratic party to
an unceasing warfapt, in nation, state
and city against private monopoly in

WRECK OF A YACHT
Six Persons Perished in a
Lake Erie Disaster;
BOAT WENT DOWN IN A STORM
Bui Seamanship Ia Said to Have Keen
the Cause of tho Accident Oue
Passenger Was Saved.
Cleveland, O., July 10. The schoon
er yacht Idler was lost in a terrific
storm 16 miles off this port this after
noon, with six persons, all members of
the family of James Corrigan, wealthy
vessel-owner of this city.
Mrs. John Corrigan was the only
passenger aboard who was saved. C.
H. Holmes, the captain; Samuel I5ig
gam, the mate; four sailors, two cooks
and the ship's carpenter were also
saved. The yacht left Port Huron yes
terday with the family of Mr Corrigan
aboard and started to Cleveland. Mr.
Corrigan was ill, and left by the train.
At 2 o'clock the storm came up. and
inside of five minutes the yacht sank.
All the women, except Mrs. John Cor
rigan and Miss Etta Corrigan, were in
the cabin when the gale came up.
They became panic stricken, and re
fused to leave the place. The men im
plored them to come to the deck, but
they refused. Mrs. John Corrigan

"When rescued,
Biggam said:
"It was about 2:05 when the squall
struck us. The yacht laid down on hqr
beam ends, and the water rushed
through the deadlights and companion
ways, and in thcee minutes she sank.
Mrs. James Corrigan, Miss Ida Corri
gan, Miss Jane Corrigan, Mrs. Charles
Reilly and the infant daughter of MrsV
Reilly were all in the saloon below
when the storm came on ns. Captain
Holmesgav-me orders to take in sail,
aiid I transmitted the order to the men.
They obeyed quickly. The captain,
myself and the crew made efforts t
save the women, but without success.
We told them the yacht was sinking,
but they could not or would not come
on deck. I waded into the saloon
when the water was up to my neck,
but Mrs. James Corrigan would not
come out. She may have been rendered
incapable of action by fear and knowl
edge of the impending doom. An
effort was made to take the infant
daughter of Mrs. Reilly out, but Mrs.
Reilly would not let the child go.
"It was realized that nothing could
be done to save those in the cabin, and
attention was turned to saving those on
deck. The latter, outside of the cap
tain, mate and crew, were Mrs. John
Corrigan and her daughter, Miss Etta
Corrigan. The captain and the crew
tried to get Mrs. Corrigan and her
daughter up on the cross-trees in the
rigging, but the heavy sea washed
them all overboard.
"For God's sake, Mrs. Corrigan, yon
and your daughter keep a tight hold on
the rigging," we called to them.
"Even as we yelled the sea swept them
and us overboard. Fortunately, Mrs.
Corrigan had succeeded in taking hold
of a cork lounge. She clung to it and
was saved."
According to the testimony of several
sailors, the topsail, mainsail and jib
were all set when the storm came up.
This is denied by Biggam, who declares
that they were in good condition to
face the storm. Captain James Corri
gan declared tonight that good sea
manship could have averted the
tragedy. He is almost frenzied with
grief. The Idler was a staunch schoon
er yacht, which Captain Corrigan re
cently purchased from John Cudahy, of
Chicago. The survivors of the wreck
were picked up by tugs a few minutes
after the accident and brought into
this port.
Pittsburg Fireman Died.
Pittsburg, July 10. Stewart Burns,
of Engine Company No. 4, who was
taken out of the wrecked Evans build
ing last night, died at an early hour
this morning, making the list of dead
number five. Captain Dan Campbell,
also of No. 4, who was thought last
night to have suffered the least injury
of any of those buried, is tonight in a
very critical condition, suffering in
ternallv. The phvsicians considered
his chance's of recovery very slight.
The other injured men are getting along
nicely. All of the wounded men unite
in saying that their rescue was little
short of miraculous. None expected to
be taken out alive.
Ho Bodiea Yet Recovered.
Cleveland, O-., July 10. None of the
bodies of the six persons drowned by
the capsiizng of Captain James Corri
gan 's yacht, the Idler, 15 miles off
this port yesterday, have yet been re
covered. On account of the high sea
still ranniug, divers were unable to do
anything towards recovering the bodies
today. Another attempt will be made
tomorrow.

ply he had decided to push through the I
rebels and had deceived the enemy re
garding the route followed. The col

loss was only six men killed and sev
eral wounded.
WEIRD TALE OF THE SEA.
How Stowaways Bred a Serious Mutiny
on the Dolphin.
San Francisco, July 11.- The steam
er Dolphin, which arrived last night
from New York, through the Straits of
Magellan, had a sensational trip. Ac
cording to Captain John O'Brien, the
day following her departure three stow
aways were discovered. But for the
stormy weather Captain O'Brien would
have put about and landed the men.
Subsequently the captain wished with
all his heart that he had followed his
first inclination in this respect.
From St. Lucia, he took eight na
tives to assist the crew. About a week
after leaving the West Indes, a native
told tbe captain that one of the stow
aways was a notorious bandit, and an
other was a lunatic and the third was
an escaped murderer. Edward Palmer,
a negro steward, assumed an independ
ent attitude before the Dolphin was
past Sandy Hook. Three daye out from
St. Lucia he attacked a fireman named
McAllister with a chair and laid his!
scalp open. The steward was put in
irons and Captain O'Bren and Chief
Engineer Winter took six stitches in
the fireman's head. Tne West Indians
then became friendly with the negro
crew and they worked only whenever
they pleased.
Captain O'Brien intended to land the
steward and the natives at Montevideo,
but the United States consul there ad
vised holding them until an American
port was reached. The steward was
released from his irons and put to work
painting and cleaning ship. Follow
ing this trouble the blacks showed a
tendency to rise against the officers and
white men of the crew, but Captain
O'Brien and his men kept their revolv
ers in plain vie W and by their apparent
readiness to use them prevented trouble
for the ti?re being. Three days was
spent at Montevideo in coaling. In
sailing out to open, sea, in the river
Platte, a hurricane swept down on the
Dolphin, and she narrowly escaped be
ing wrecked.
In the Straits ot Magellan the man
eating Fuegans attempted to set fire to
the Dolphin as they had done a year
before to a Chilean man-of-war, killing
and eating the entire crew. At Coro
nel, a Chilean coaling post, the coal
passeis obtained liquor and went on the
warpath and could not be subdued.
They smashed all the fire axes on board
and threatened to kill every one on the
steamer. During the trouble, Purser
Hnmes and Second Engineer George G.
Carroll were sent ashore by Captain
O'Brien to procure assistance and they
lost no time in finding the men in au
thority. The nearest troops weie 100
miles away, but a special train was
sent after them by the government. It
developed that Humes and Carroll were
no better on shore than they had been
on the Dolphin, for in so out of the
way place it was useless to make at
tempts to get back to the ship.
"When we got back to the steamer,"
said Purser Humes, "the mutineers had
the crew up in the rigging and were in
full possession of the vessel. The sol
diers had a quieting" effect on the ne
groes. The striking firemen were tak
en ashore in irons and next day the
court of inquriy was held on the
Dolphin. The court sentenced the six
ringleaders to three months each in the
calaboose. In the crowd were the
steward and the three stowaways from
St. Lucia. Yon can bet we lost no
time getting out of Coronel as soon as
sentence had been passed. I would
not want to see my worst enemy in
prison in Coronel. It is a desolate
place where only leprosy and crime
seem to thrive."
The Dolphin is on her way to Seat
tle, where she will go into the Alaskan
trade.
MORE BODIES FOUND.
A Total of 146 Recovered From the
Hoboken Fire.
- New York, July 10. Three more
bodies were found today on the Saale.
This makes 29 bodies that have thus
far been taken from the wreck of the
Saale since the fire, and 146 bodies in
all recovered. The bodies recovered

STRIKE IS ON AGAIN
St. Louis Carmen Say Com
.pany Has Broken Faith, j
THE BOYCOTT WILL BE RESUMED
Employes Say There Will Be No Law
lessness Nor Demonstration of
Violence This Time.
St. Louis, July 11. The strike
against the St. Louis Transit Company
by its former employes, which was de
clared off July 2, was ordered recalled
today at a meeting of the Street Rail
waymen's Union, at the West End coli
seum. Tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock
was the time fixed for the recall of tbe
boycyott on all the company's lines.
When the strike was settled Jnly 2,
there were some mutterings of discon
tent among the men over the terms ol
settlement, and so it is the dissatisfac
tion has grown daily. The men main
tain that the company has failed to
keep the agreement " and a dozen or
more instances were cited tending to
prove that there had been a breach of
faith. Meetings were held at several
laces in the course of the week, and
committees were appointed to procure
proof of infidelity on the part of the
company.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Street Railwaymen's Un
ion held Monday, a batch of affidavits
was presented to tbe effect that men
had been employed by the company
since July 2 in violation of the terms
of the agreement of that date. At a
session lasting several hours, the com
mittee called a mass meeting of the
men for this morning to recommend at
that meeting that the strike be declared
on again. The Central Trades and La
bor Union met later and indorsed the
action of the executive committee.
The company, through President
Whitaker, addressed a letter to the
men, denying that the company had
intentionally violated the agreement of
July 2, and declaring its intention to
live up to every condition of the agree
ment, both in letter and spirit. Fred
W. Lehman, attorney for the company,
appeared at the meeting and offered to
submit the question as to whether the
company has broken faith to Joseph
W. Folk, counsel for the men, and
bound the company to abide by Mr.
Folk's judgment in the premises. The
proposition was ignored, and by a
unanimous vote the strike was re
newed. A member of tbe executive commit
tee today said that this was the second
time the company had broken faith
with its employes, and no agreement
would be accepted in the future that
did not provide for the reinstatement
of all old employes in 24 hours after
the execution of the agreement,
"There will be no lawlessness or
demonstrations of violence this time,"
he continued. "By means of a vigor
ous enforcement of the boycott we hope
absolutely to destroy the earning capac
ity of the company "
The whole trouble seems to hang
upon a few of the men violating its
agreement, while the company, on the
other hand, emphatically denies that
such is the. case. The men claimed
yesterday that a verbal agreement was
entered into concurrently with the
written agreement and under the ver
bal agreement the company had agreed
to re-employ all the old men in 60
days, seniority in the services deter
mining the priority of re-employment.
It was claimed that the Rev. Dr. W. J.
Boise instructed the men that such
an agreement existed, in a speech at
the West End coliseum. The officers
of the company declare that there was
no such verbal understanding and that
the only agreement made by them was
the written agreement, which was
published at the time.
