Unanimous Choice of Kansas City Convention. ON A FREE COINAGE PLATFORM Wastr Davia Arraign tha Rvpnbllaaa) Part for Laok of Sympathy for tha Boar. , Kansas City, July 8. William J. Urysu,- of Nebraska, -was tonight nuauiinously placed In nomination a the LVmocratio candidate for president ot tbe United State, on a plat form op posing Imperialism, militarism and trust, and specifically declaring for tba free ooiuuge of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. 'x 1 The nomination came as the culmina tion of a frenzied demoustration in honor of the petty leader, lasting 17 oinutes, and giving utterance to all the pent-up emotions of tbe vast mul titude. It followed also a flerco strug gle throughout the last 86 hour con cerning tbe platform declaration on nlver and on tbe relative position which the silver question ia to main tain to the other great issues of the day. It was late this afternoon when tbe convention was at last taoa to face with the presidential nomination. Early in the day there bad been tedious de lay, due to tbe inability of the plat form committee to reconcile their dif- WJB, ryan ference and present a report. Until thia wa ready tbe convention manager beguiled the time by putting forward speakers of mora or less prominence to keep tbe vast audience from becoming too restless. The first session, beginning at 10 o'clock this morning, wa entirely fruitless of results and it wa not un til late in the afternoon, when the eo- ond leasion had begun, that tbe plat form committee waa at last able to re port an agreement. Already it main feature, embodying the 16 to 1 princi ple, had become known to the dele gate, -and there wa little delay in giving it unanimous approval. This removed the last cbanoe tor an open ptur on question of principle and t the way clear for the supreme ,-eutol the day the nomination ot the presidential candidate,. Iba vast auditorium was filled to it utmost capacity when the moment ar rived for the nomination to he made. Not only were the usual facilities af forded by ticket taxed to the utmost, but tha doorkeeper were given liberal instruction, uuder which the aides and areas and all available spaces were packed to their fullest limit. Wheel tbe call of state began for the purpose of placing candidates in nomination. Alabama yielded it ptaco at the head of the list to Nebraska, and Oldham, o', that state, made hi way to tbe plat form for tha initial speeoh, placing Mr. Bryan in nomination for tha presl denoy. The orator ws strong-voiced tsd entertaining, yet to the waiting delogate and spectators tbt-re wa but one point to hi speech, and that wa the stirring peroration which closed with the name of William J. Bryan. Thia waa the signal for the demon 'tration of tha day, and with a com mon purpose, the great oonourse joined iu a tribute of enthusiastic devotion to the party leader. All of the intensity of former demonstrations and much more was added to this final tribute to the leader. When the demonstration had spent itself, the speecbee seconding the nomi nation of Mr. Bryan were in order. Then came the voting. State aftef state recorded it vote iu behalf of thff Nebraska candidate, giving him tbt unanimous vote of all tho states and territories. The convention managers had already agreed that this wa ufn cieut work for tho day, and the vlo presidential nomination waa allowed to go over until tomorrow. Koxt to the demonstration for tha party candidate, the greeting of th announcement that imperialism was to be tho paramount iasuo ot this cam puign wa tho most spontaneous and sL-uilloant of the day. Another stirring event ot the day wa the appearance of Webster Davis, ex-assistant icoretnry ot the interior nnder MoKinloy' administration, in a speech severely arraigning the Repub lican party for its luck of sympathy for the Boer and formally anuouuoing hit allegiance to the Demooratio party.1 VtcMma of Clobokan Flra.

V CAR'S WJLD LEAP. Carrlad 8 to Daath-Thrao Reoro Otha lajnrad, Many Fatally. Taooma, July 6. Nearly 100 people, passengers on a csr bound for this city, were plunged down a gulch at Twenty sixth and C streets, shortly aftei 8 o'clock yesterday morning, Those who were standing on the platform dropped off only to be crushed and wounded by tba heavy body of tbe coach, while oth er inside were killed and maimed tie fore they knew what had happened. Tba car Jumped th track and waa mashed to kindling wood in tha bot tom of tha chasm over 100 feet below. The dead will number nearly three score, for there are many of the injured who will never recover and who are expected to die at any moment and there are at least 60 of the paseengera of ths car now in tbe various hospital and nnder the care of their own physi cians. Th csr which carried It human freight into a deep ravine instead of to the city wa No. 118, of the United Traction Company' cart, and waa on tbe Edison line. It left Edison at about 8 o'clock, In charge ot F. L. Boehn, motorman, and J. D. Calbcun, conductor. The car, which ia one of the big box-like affair, waa crowded to the door, and every Inch of apace on tba platform wa taken. Men hang on the railing, and were glad to be able to get a ride to tbe city, for, like those inside, tbey were anxious to arrive early, so as not to miss any of tba Independence day exercise. Tbe oar ran moderately along; the passenger chatting ' with each other. for tbey were nearly all acquainted, and everything waa pleasant until it reach ed tbe crest of the bill just beyond Taooma avenue. From this point th stories differ. One is that tbe motor- man, after starting down the hill, turned on bia current Instead of hut ting it off, and when the car had gained auch a momentum at to threaten to get away from him, he turned off the cur rent, but it wa then too late, for the car waa going at lightning speed, and there wa nothing to bring it to a standstill, for tbe Incline is ateep. Passengers on tbe front platform who aaw the sharp curve on the bridge a it leave DeLin street, endeavored to jump. Several of them aucceeded, and reached the ground in safety, bat oth er were as badly injured a they might have been bad they remained on the car to the bottom of tbe chasm. Where the car went off there is a harp curve, at the foot of a ateep grade. A the car (truck tbe curve, instead of following the rail, it whirled completely over and pitched from the bridge, striking on ita top, the heavy track and body of the car crashing tbe frail upper work to splinter and mashing down upon the mans of men, women and children, with which th car wa loaded. It was one of the most appalling ac cident that ha ever occurred in this city, and it earn at a time when it was least expected. Here were happy peo ple, resident of the nearby towns, jmi- ison, Lakeview, Parkland, Lake Park and other places, coming to Tacotna full of joy and patriotism to spend the Fourth of July. Their journey was nearly at an end when death interfered, and claimed them as his own in a most frightful manner. Crashed, maimed and mangled, the unfortunates wen dragged from beneath the wreck of th car, and kind hand ministered to tbem until conveyance could be had to carry tbem to bosptal and to tbe home of their friend. Tbe dead were laid on the graaa, but there were few in the crowd of spectators and tescuer ' who gathered at the scene at that time who knew which were dead and which were living. Such a spectacle of battered, mutilated bodies ia seldom seen. A member of the First Washington vol unteers. who has played a part on many battle fields In the Philippine, taid he bad never witnessed such a sight. FOUR CHILDREN KILLED. Terrible Kffacta of aa Baploalaa Flraarorke. Philadelphia, July 6. A blank cart ridge fired at close range by a small colored boy into a large collection of firework of a highly explosive char acter yesterday, cost the live of too children, the probable death of thre others, and sever burn and lacera' tions to 20 other persons, only two of whom were adults.

Isaiah Harris, wa aeon to point the pistol in th di recton of the firework and fire. The force of th explosion which followed hattered the window of many (tore and residenoe in the vicinity, aad the seen wa covered by A dense smoke. Whoa this lifted, the form ot more than a icoie of children were found lying on the street, burned and bleed ing. The owner of the firework waa arrested.

WRECK OF A YACHT! Six Persons Perished in Lake Erie Disaster. BOA? WEST D0WS IS A STORM Bad Saroan.hlp la Said to Rita Hoc tho Cauao at Iho Acelrtaat Oaa Fai.eager Waa a.d. 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 member of tbe family of Jame Corrigau, wealthy vessel-owner of this city. , Mrs. John Corrigan wa tbe only passenger aboard who wa saved. C. 11. Holmes, the captain; Samuel Big- gam, the mate; four sailors, two cook 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 tbe gale came up. Tbey became panic stricken, and re fused to leave tbe place. Tbe men im plored them to come to the deck, but they refused. Mrs. John Corrigan clung to a cork sofa when the gale came, and wa saved. When rescued, Biggam said: "It was about 2:05 when tbe squall struck us. The yacht laid down on bar beam ends, and tbe water rushed through the deadlights and companion ways, akid in three minute she sank. Mrs. Jame Corrigan, Misa Ida Corri gan, Mis Jane Comgan, sir, unarlea Reilly and tbe infant daughter of Mrs. Reilly were all in the saloon below when the storm came on as. Captain Holmes gave me orders to take in sail. and I transmitted tbe order to tbe men. They obeyed quickly, ' The captain, myself and the crew made efforts save tbe women, bat without success. We told tbem the yacht was sinking, but they could not or vould not come on deck. I waded into the saloon when the water waa np to my neck. but Mr. Jame Comean would not come oat. She may have been rendered incapable of action by fear and knowl edge of the impending doom. An effort waa made to take the infant daughter of Mr. Reillv out, but Mrs. Reilly would not let the child go. "It wa realised that nothing could be done to save those in tbe cabin, and attention was turned to saviug those on deck. Tbe latter, outside of tbe cap tain, mate ami crew, were Mrs. Jobn Corrizan and her daughter, Miss Etta Cutrigan. Tbe captain and the crew tried to get Mr. Corrigan and her dauehter np on the croes-treos in the ricffinii, but the heavy sea washed them all overboard. "For God' sake, Mr. Corrigan, yon and jour daughter keep a tight hold on the rigging," we called to them. "Kven aa we yelled tbe sea awept them and us overboard. Fortunately, Mrs Corrigan had succeeded in taking hold of a cork lounge. She clung to it and was saved." Aocording to the testimony of several sailors, the topsail, mainsail and jib were all aet when the storm came up. Thia is denied by Biggatn, who declares that they were in good condition to face tbe storm. Captain Jame Corri gan declared tonight that good ' sea manship ccuid have averted tbe tragedy. He ia almost frenzied with grief. Tbe Idler waa a staunch schoon r yacht, which Captain (Jomgan re cently pnrobased from John Cndahy, of Chicago. The survivor ot the wreck were picked np by tugs a few minutes after the accident and brought into this port. Pittsburg Flromaa Died. Pittsburg, July 10.

Following is the official text of the platform a geed upon by tbe committee on reso lutions and presented to tbe conven tion: We, the representative of the Demo cratic pnrty of the United State, as sembled in national convention on th 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 bold with the United States su preme court that tho Declaration of Independence i the spirit of our gov ernment, of which the constitution is 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 tbe consent ol tbe governed i tyranny; and that to impose upon any people a government ot force ia to substitute tbe method ol imperialism for those of the republic. Believing in these fundamental prin ciples, we denounce the Puerto Rican law enacted by a Republican congress, against the protest and opposition of the Democratic minority, aa a bold and open violation of the nation' organic law and a flagrant breach of tbe na tional good faith. . We condemn and denounce tbe Phil ippine policy of tbe present administra tion. It ha embroiled the republic in an unnecessary war, sacrificed the lives of many of its noblest ions and placed tbe United States, ' previously known and applauded throughout th world aa the champion of freedom, in the false and un-American position of crushing with military force the efforts of oar former allies to achieve liberty and elf-government. ' We oppose militarism. It mean conquest abroad and intimidation and oppienion at borne. It mean the strong arm which has ever been fatal to free institution. We pledge the Democratic party to an unceasing warfare in nation, state and city against private monopoly in every form. Existing law against trust must be enforced and more stringent one most be enacted provid ing for publicity a to the affairs ot corporations engaged in interstate com merce and requiring all corporations to sbow, before doing business outside ol the state of their origin, that they have no water in their stock and that they have not attempted and are not attempting to monopolise any business or the production of any articles of merchandise. We condemn the Dingley taiiff law aa a trust breeding measure. We reaffirm and endorse the princi ples of tbe national Democratic plat form adopted at Chicago in 1896, and we reiterate the demand "of that plat form for an American financial plat form adopted bvjtbe American peopl for themselves which shall restore and maintain a bimetallic price level, and as part ot such system the immediate restoration of the tree and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at tbe pres ent legal ratio of 16 to 1, without wait ing for the aid or consent ol any other nation. We favor an amendment to the fed eral constitution providing for the elec tion of Untied State senators by direct vote of tbe people, and we favor direct legislation wherever practicable. We are opposed to government by in junction; we denounce the blacklist and favor arbitration aa a mean of set tling disputes between corporations and their employe. We favor the immediate construc tion, ownership and control of the Nicaragua canal by the United States. We favor aa intelligent system ol improving the alid land of tbe West, storing the water for purposes of irri gation and tbe holding of such land for actual settler. We favor tbe continuance and strict enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law, and its application to the same classes of all Asiatio races. ' Speaking, as we believe, for the en tire American nation, except ita Re publican office holders, and for all free men everywhere, we extend , our sym pathies to the heroic Boer in their un equal struggle to maintain their liberty and independence. Believing that our most "cherished institution are in great peril,"' that the very existence of our constitutional republic ia at stake, and that tne decis ' s now to be rendered will determine betber or not oar children will enjoy tese blessed privileges ot free govern ment which have made the United States great, prosperous and honored, we earnestly ask for the foregoing dec laration of principle tbe hearty sup port of liberty-loving American people, regardless of previous party affiliation.
