WEEKLY OREGON STATESMAN- FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1906. KANSAS CITY IS THE MfCCA 01 the Democratic Hosts from Every Pert cf America. SLOGAN OF 16 TO I IS IN DANGER Many Delegation! Have Signified Op position to the Phrase Bryan Hay Be Beard. KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 3.-With flags flymg, lands playing, streets re splendent with a blaze or bunting and Of myriads of light, and with the ear assaulted by a deafening conglomera tion of bombs, rockets, cracker, ami the marching of clubs and drum corps with their confusion of patriotism and IKditics, Kansas City is tonight usher ing In the National holiday and the National Democratic Convention. With the late influx hare come the Tam many Braves, the Chicago Marching Club and many kindred organizations with "their bands. ' And yet, for tome reason, many most famous convention organizations, such as the Duckworth Club of Cincinnati, are not rcpresent- ed here, while the Jefferson Clnb of St. Louis and the Young Men's Louis ville Club send only a handful of men, instead of their usual quota of hun dreds. The most notablg figures of the party have eonie-wlth the arriving delegations today. - " The steady influx , is straining the city's accommodations to the utmost, and tonight the people are being packed In rooms and hallways without much regard to comfort, so long as they can get a place to lay their beads. The actual business of the day con stated in the final selection, by the Na tional Committee, of Governor Thoin- . as, of Colorado., as temisirary chair- . man of the convention, and the dis ssal of all - contests, including .the - seating of Senator Clark and his Mon tana delegatlou. The choice' of Gov eriwir Thomas was soinethiug of a sur prise, as the executive committee had practically, decided for Major Hose, of Milwaukee. The most remarkable-feature of tb situation is the sudden sjiift of senti ment since yesterday, when the dom inating influence of Bryan was Wery wiiere manifest, whereas today, many -delegations took formal action against a siscifl Ji to i declaration, which is supjiosed 1o 1h Bryan's sine qua 11011. The movement took form early In the day among some of .the mopt influen tial men of the party, not through any spirit of opposition to .Bryan. lt le cause they believed the overwhelm ing sense of the delegates -was favor-1 able to a simple re-attirmafloti of the Chicago platform, without a sitccitic declaration of Hi ti 1 tliat is, a con servative, instead of radical, iiuaucial platform. ' '''. 'i .WILL BE THERE. ' : - Kansas City, Mp., July 3. Unless the plans ierfeeted tonight are uiset, Bry an will attend the Natioual Democratic Convention after his nomination, if he is put iu the field early enough to ren tier it practicable for him to do soJ A formal invitation has been extended to him, and he has said that he would accept. This fact was brought out in the afternoon meeting of the National Consult tee. as was also the intention of the National Committee to have the nomination for the lresideuey made tomorrow, If possible. j. A SENSATION, - j Kansas City, July X The New York state delegation furnished the sensa tion of the day, when, after a sjorniy session of -three hours they put forth n candidate for Vice President in the Itcrson of Judge W. Keller, commis sioner of charities of the city of New York. This was done after David R. Hill had beeu defeated as candidate for the .New York representative on the committee on platform, by Judge A. Van Wyck. aud having liecn offeri ed New York's endorsement for the. Vice lresideut. had declined it. There are those in the delegation, who to night believe that the delegation lead ers are playing the same game that .was played by the Republican leaders In Philadelphia, when they endorsed Timothy Woodruff for.VIee President, and that the name of Keller is pres ented for the purpose of keeping the delegates, from voting for any other New Yorker until they can .vote either for Towne or for Snlzcr. jSul eer withdrew in favor of Keller, and in fact seconded the nomination, which lends some color to this 1 sur mise. . - j , Hill and Van Wyck were both" plac ed In nomination as New York's re presentative on the platform commit tee. All through the controversy, ex Governor Hill sat quietly.; Then he aros aud soon I km -a 11 le engaged in a word duel with Croker. When the vote was-taken. Van Wyck was found to have 30, to lllll 28." Hill at once withdrew. New York leaders assert that Cnkers (Tammany's) action trill hurt, the party In New York. FROM CAPE NOME. Four of the Treasure Seekers Ships Land In Seattle. . ! . Seattle. Wash., July 3. Four more of Seattle's Cape Nome fleet arrived today, the Tacoma.

Rough Riders Give Their Colonel a Western Greetings Oklahoma City. Oklsu July 3. A typical frontier demonstration and a rousing welcome from the Rough Rid ers, eow-pnnchers and citizens of all classes, white, black and red, were ac eoided today to Governor Roosevelt, of. New York. The second annual re union of Roosevelt's ambus regiment brought 10.000 strangers into this1 lit tle Western city.

"There's a good deal of human nature mixed in with lots tlutt is just plain turkey. "The other day while I was sittin' in the barn door, one of my turkeys come Jerkin along and peek In' right and left, and finally spied a rag on the ground that every turkey had leen travelin over since snow; went off. Turkey picked It up and slatted it out. That minute every turkey in the yard started for him. , He run. It evidently struck him all of a sud den that he had . got. hold of snritbin that was mighty valuable. He run and he, dodged and lie 'ducked, and he run some more. Every few minutes some one of them turkeys would get after him by the wing or by the wat ties or else by the rag, and there would be the tug of war. And at last an other turkey got the rag away and then .there was another chase.' s Guess them darn 'fool turkeys 4 would have been runnin the fat off themselves the next day if I hadn't set the dog on 'em nnddrove 'em up on the wood pile. "That's just the way with a turkey Let anv other cfne in the nock get hold of sunthin and every one of the blamed fools will start for him or her and run till they fairly drop. "Ami. as I have said, there is a good deal of human nature right there," TO PRISON. Win. Hnnter, convict ed of the larceny of a horse, was yes terday brought to the penitentiary from Umatilla county, for a term of one year. Deputy Sheriff "J: A.Blak ley had charge of the prisoner. , SENT TO THE LAUNDRY EASTKRN MAX WANTED UIS GREEN BACKS HAMGLEf). , lb Currency Waa Luckily Recovered. How- aver, Before Being Consigned to r th Wft.h.tiiK. (From Daily Statesman, July 3.) It is quite an unusmit thing for an Individual to 'send 'a 'roll of greenbacks to a steam laundry; but that Is exactly what D. E. Wyukoop, a recent arrival from Traverse City, Michigan, did yes terday. Fortimately, the money - was recovered before it had leen placcl in the wash tub. , Mr. Wynkoop is a timlHr-man and reaching Salem last Saturday evening from the East and registered at Hotel Salem. Yesterday morning he depart ed for Mehama on the 11 o'clx-k train to look at some timber. Prior to leav ing for the depot, he turned over to Pat Fennell, the proprietor of. the house, a band box fiilled with soiled laundry which he requested be de livered to the steam laundry, j Mr. Fennell allowed the package to remain in the hotel office until after the noon hour and at 1:30 o'clock carried it to the Salem Steam Laundry where he carelessly deposited it upon the re ceiving table -among aa humlicr of other packages. He performed a num ber of errands down town and return ed . to the hotel. About 3 o'clock he was aroused from n comfortable nap by the vigorous ringing of the tele phone. It proved to be his truest at the instrument, who notified the pro prietor or tne nouse that there was attached to one of the soiled garments an improvised money purse, contain ing over -J0O In greenbacks. Pat did not wait for further particular; but took the most direct route to the, laundry where to his complete suprise ne round that the package had been undisturbed.- Calling the proprietor. air.- Olmsted be emptied the contents of. the band box and. produced from the j specified garment the money re ceptacle and $210. in greenliacks. Mr. Wynkoop Instructed Mr. Fren nelt to retain the money for him un til he should return from his Mehama trip. ,r.... . .. STOCK SHIPMENTS. C. J. M'llis, live stock. agent of the O. R. & N.. talktnl to an E.-O. report er about shipments of sheep. "Grow ers and buyers are somewhat apart n to prices just now," said he, "hence the shipments are rather light on all roads. I look for t lie heaviest shin- ments this fall that have ever goneN out.rrom Oregon. Sheep, both mut ton and stock, will 1? sold in enor mous numbers, unless I miss my guefts. As to cattle shipments, only a dry summer and consequent shortage of the range can cause heavy sending out 'of beef stuff. Cattlemen are rath er independent in their finances, and therefore are inclined to hold. Al prevailing prices, shipments of cattle to the East are precluded.' AH the beef stuff Is likely to go to the coast markets." . ; IN WASHINGTON.-Rev. Frowln Epier O. S. B.. Is taking a summer course In botany and biology at the Catholic University in Washington D.

RUNNERS BRING STARTING NEWS Ministers' Forces Fought Despei atelj, I Halting a Last Stand in the i British Legation; ' LONDON. July 4. Couriers, who ar rived at the seats of government of the Southern L viceroys, from British agencies In Pekln,'glve vivid but .frag mentary pictures of what Is lelng en acted in the capltoL These couriers seemingly left Pekln a day or two later than the messenger of Sir Rob ert -Hart, Inspector-general of customs, who started on the night of June 24th. They report that the heads of some of the captured legation guards were le Ing borne through the streets at .the tops of spears, followed by zealots chanting "Tai Y'ang Kuel Tse Tapi. Tapi" KII1 the' foreign devils, kill kill,. The city's : millions have "been roused to patriotic ferver, breaking out . into wildest excesses,' while oVer half the city "-could, be heard fighting, around the r ' legations.- Sir Robert Hart's runner says, the ' foreigners were making a List stand in the ex tensive j buildings and, enclosures aof the British legation. They had many dead and wounded." Among them were many women and children. All were short of food. . The.' women were starving as they gave part of their small allowances to the children. The foreigners nevertheless . were holding out under a terrible fire, upheld by the hourly expectation of relief. They were unable to return the fire of the Chinese, except at moments when an assault seemed imminent. . The ma chine guns and repeating rifles tore the storming parties to pieces. The messenger expressed the beliei .that it would be iniKssible for the foreigners to resist much longer, as the Chinese were preiwring to batter down the-wtIls of the court yard, and the defenders' ammunition was run ning low. .Orders were given, by Prince Tuau. the messenger said, that since some had In-en killed not anoth er foreigner should le left alive. Extreme precautious had oen taken to prevent the foreigners from com-inimW-nting with any one outside the city, and a ' numler 'of runners who were sent omVwere killed by the Chin ese, nils -messenger succeeded In get ting through' by smearing ' bis face and clothes witli blood, and joining in the outcries 'against the "foreign devils."

Secretary Long this morning received the following, cablegram from Lieut. A. I Key, naval attache at the United States le gation at Toklo. Japan, in regard to the grounding of the Oregoh: "Port r Arthur too smalk If Oregon cannot dock at Nagasaki, Navy De partment tenders use of either Kuro or Kokoshuma docks. Offers any as sistant desired. : Has ordered the Akitisushma from Che Foo to the Or egon. Have cabled Wilde the offer of docks." j The naval officers are disappointed at the statement that the Oregon can not be docked at Port Arthur, as that place is imly about, sixty miles . from where she struck. ' Nagasaki Is fKK miles distant, but can : be reached by the Oregon without venturing for out side of the smooth waters of Pe Chi IA bay.
