This last move was regarded rather significant. The delegation is n strongly favorable to the Secre- | to a m: tary, and It was belleved that co-opera- tion could be secured with the delega- tions of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver- mont, Connecticut and Rhode Island, so | as to secure practically a solid vote of the seventy-elght New Lngland dele-| gate: 8o many candidates and possibill- ties were in the air, however, that a com- mittee consisting of Messrs. Shaw, Mur- | ray and Rockwell was chosen to ascertain Mr. Long’s wishes as to the presentation | | of his name. It was supposed that he | was at Washington and could be reached | by the long-distance telephone, but later ' | it developed that he was at his summer | | home at Hingham, Mass., where it was | | hoped to communicate with him later. The delegation was also divided into com- | mittees, which started In to canvass in | behalf of the Long candidacy. Senator Allison arrived at about noon and took quarters at the Aldine Hotel. He was closeted the greater part of the | day with prominent members of the | party, and late in the afternoon attended a dinner given by Clement Griscom at his country place. The Senator announced before leaving for Mr. Griscom's place that he was earnestly supporting the can- | didacy of Mr. Dolliver, and that he hoped | to see him nominated. Dolliver's friends | are still enthusiastic over his chances, and they clatin that nothing but an agree- | ment upon some available man by the members of the New York delegation can prevent his nomination. | In the event that the New Yorkers | | agree upon Roosevelt or some available | candidate the lowa men will not press | | Dolliver's nomination. They say New York should have the first call upon the | nomination if it can decide upon a man. | 1f it does not agree upon this point, and | the Iowa people do not rate Woodruft as | an avallable man, they will push for the nomination of Dolliver against any and all candidates. They are confident that | Dolliver will be able to beat Woodruff | before the convention, and will be a stronger candidate before the people at large. ARRIVING DELEGATIONS. PHILADELPHIA, June 17.—The stream | of incoming delegations set In with the | early hours to-day, and to-night each | train unloaded its quota of badged and | buttoned enthusiasts. The number of club arrivals, however, was small, only about 6 p. m. the famous Tippecanoe Club of Cleveland, Ohio, came in on a number of gpecial cars. This organization received an enthusiastic reception from the crowd at the rallway station. The Colorado-Philadelphia Club of Den- ver, headed by the George W. Cook drum | corps of Denver, followed soon after the Tippecanoe Club. At the head of the Western enthusiasts a gray-haired man carried a huge stuffed Rocky Mountain | eagle on a pole. In its beak was a large placard containing the worde, “I'm for | McKinley.' The last political organization to get | here to-night was the well-known Cook | County Republican Club of Chicago. The | | local committee met the Chicagoans at a suburban station, and when they arrived at the city depot they were greeted by | more than a thousand persons. All of the Utah men came In, headed by Governor Wells. The New Mexico delega CASH STODE 85-27 MARKCT ST, tion, headed by Governor Otero, arrived late this afternoon.

The Call, in accordance with its steadfast alm to publish the news, had designed to publish the speech verbatim, but it reached the.editorial rooms too late to be glven in full the morning following the convention. Since adjournment there has been so much in- quiry for the address and so much talk about it that The Call feels it to be its duty to reproduce the address. It fol- low: “Mr Chairman, the hour is too late and your occupation is too onerous to justify me in detaining you for more than a mo- The election of delegate to Kansa: it is true, is an honor; but in so far ornia is concerned we carry there your will, to be executed in ac- nce with your written judgment re- led here this dg There is no one selected by this convention. no matter what his previous views may have been, who would dare go to that convention and do oth=rwise than cast his vote for that M. peerless representative of Democracy, Mr. Bryan pplause and cheers), and there a lesson in this demonstra- tion sprang into rthy of remembrance.

He is attaches to the Americ constitution. He loves the sofl which ke stands.

HAVANA, June 17.—General Alejandro Rodriguez, Nationalist, was yesterday elected Mayor of Havana, polling 13,073 votes against 6034 cast for Senor Estrada Mora, Independent. The total vote fell about 4500 below the registration. The Nationalist party elected its entire | ticket, eighteen Councilmen, the Treasur- er, one Correctional Judge and three Mu- nicipal Judges. The other correctional judgeship fell to an Independent candi- date, as did also the fourth municipal judgeship.. Of the six other Councilmen four are Republicans and two National- ists, who ran Independently. Reports from every part of the island go to show that perfect order prevalled at the polls. Not a shot was fired, nor was there any sign of disturbance anywhere. To an American observer of the eles tion here it seemed as if the people re- garded the whole matter with absolute in- difference. There was not even a crowd in waiting to heir the result declared Not a_cheer was r nor were there any of the or v indications of election excitement, although a demo! ration in honor of the successful candidates took place to-night. The victory of the Nationallsts i chief- ly due to the fact that they in the field and had the benefit of a plined organization. But as they only claimed to havt about 16,000 members, it at Bunker Hill. (Applause cheers). And_ to-day. and unjl the hour of my | death, 1 wili advocate the extemsion of American interest: emination of American principles, and 1 will oppose at whatever cost to myself any effort to prostitute our flag. Prosperity will not allure me to wrong. That we are rich and powerful and mighty, to me will fur- nish no reason why we should oppress another. The weak, the struggling, have the right to vindicate themselves and the same right to live as those who are pow- erful and mighty. (Great applause). and when 1 think that great and m e edi- fices of governmental power have been erected in the past and have fallen by the hand of man, I reflect and know that above all these is a power greater than ours wkich, sooner or later, will shiver in the dust the man, the men’ or the nation trampling upon the rights of another. (Applause.) love to see my nation great, I love to see her powerful, but 1 prefer to see her right. (Applause’ and_cheers). Studying somewhat perhaps from heredity the story of oppression, 1 will always, wher- ever 1 may be, advocate consistency in the cause of freedom. We may differ on minor questions, upon economic problems a there may be variation, but_there should be no doubt as to where the Demo- cratic party stands on the question of human liberty.

And\the rights of men are those ordinarily rec- ognized and commonly understood prin- ciples which we have learned from the mere perusal of the declaration made in the earlier story of our national exist-| ence. The men who penned them in our declaration were unselfish patriots, strug- gling not as we struggle here, as we are delegates to a: convention or advocates of a partieular section, but they had learned from bitter experience that intelligence and absolute justice were necessary In a republic; intelligence necessary that we may know what is right, justice that we may not do that which s wrong, and ,education in freedom’s councils that we may be able to defend ourselves from the | forces of wrong all over the earth. And here to-day we are invited to attend the great council halls of conquest and are asked to join with other nations in crush- ing to the th the feebler of mankind. Let it be in the future as it has been in the past—the ambitlon of Democracy to do the right, to assert the right and not to fear to declare the right.” (Applause and cheers).

They took in the situation in an instant and will be cheer- ing for Roosevelt in the morning. So it came to pass that in one short day the sltuation that was scattered among a score of candidates, some of them put up for tactical purposes, and all open to some objection, became cen- tered around one man who, not once nor | twice, but a hundred times, had declared that he did not want the nomination and would not take it. To two men this uprising came as a sur- prise. One of these was Senator Hanna. The other was Governor Roosevelt. Sen- ator Hanna said on Friday: “Roosevelt will not be nominated. protect him from a stampede.’” He sald sterda; “It won't be Roosevelt, because he don’t want it.” To-day he said practically nothing and to-night he is dining at the house of Clem- ent A. Griscom with a party of Cabinet officers and Senators and is apparently let- ting the Roosevelt boom run its course. Governor Roosevelt came here speedily to discover that he had entirely under- estimated the sentiment of the country regarding himself. Seeing what was com- ing on him, he hurried early in the day I will to Sepator Platt’s room for consultation. | Senator Platt, crippled with a broken rib, and suffering intense pain, threw his doors open and remained subject to the Gov- ernor's claims all day long. Governor were Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, and Chairman Odell, at the Gov- | ernor’s request, was called in. Later Fred- erick S. Gibbs, New York's Natifonal Com- mitteeman, T.emuel*E. Quigg, president of the New Yaork County Committee, ana | Frank 8. Platt, were called in. Still later William J. Young, the secretary to the Governor, joined the party. There was a long talk. The Governor confessed that he had not judged the sentiment of the country aright and had not understood the position in which he was lkely to | find himself. He was much distressed. He deciared that the position was dis- tasteful to him and that the only am- bition he had was to be Governor again. He also took occasion to say that he was convinesd that his friends in New York had been loyal in respecting his wishes and remarked that any one must be in- sane to suppose that such a movement had been manufactured. The question to be settled was, “What was the Governor to do?” Senators Platt and Lodge and Messrs. Odell, Gibbs and Quigg told him that this was a question that he must answer for himself. At the me time they told him that there was & tremendous energy behind the demand With the | - ? | that he o on the ticket with McKinley. This sentiment was a tribute to his char- acter not only as a soldier but as an of- ficial of city, State and nation. It was a recogrition of his services as a citizen and he must settle with himself whether he would spurn what almost every other man in the United States would consider as a prize. While he was listening to this the Gov- ernor sat straight as a ramrod in his chair, with his arms folded and his jaw set. He was not disposed to recede from his position. Presently he began to waver | and again appealed for advice. Senator Hanna, who had been in a con ference on the national platform, went to Senator Platt's room and was admit. ted to the conference. He soon saw how the matter was drifting, but did not ex- | press an opinion one way or the other. The conference broke up and Governor Roosevelt and Senator Lodge took Secre- tary of War Root to luncheon at the Philadelphia Club. There occurred more talk about the question distressing ths Governor. Senator Hanna remained with Senator Platt and they had a discussion about the relative merits of Mr. Bliss and Gov- ernor Roosevelt as candidates. It was conciliatory on both sides, and when they separated Senator Platt was for Roose- | velt if he would take it and Senator Hanna was still hoping for Mr. Bliss' nomination. | .Governor Roosevelt returned to his room | In the Walton after luncheon and Senator Lodge reported to Senator Platt. He said the Governor seemed to be wavering. Senator Platt frankly said he hoped for the sake of the party at large that the Governor could see his way clear to run, | but he would not urge him. Then another consultation followed, this | time in the Governor's room, and it was attended by Senator Lodge, Secretary Root, General Frank V. Greene of New York' and Senator Penrose of Pennsyl- vanla. The Governor saw the newspapef | men late in the afternoon. “How about that declination?’ asked a cheeky Washington correspondent. I have not a word to say.” “But vou are as good s nominated now,” some one said. “I know nothing about it replied the Governor. “Is it true that vou said that if nomi- nated you would rise in your seat in the convention hall and decline?” “It is a lle,” said the Governor. | _The Governor also told Woodruff that, while he would probably consent to- b nominated. yet Senator Platt would force Senator Hanna to choose between him and ‘Woodruff. Hanna, the Governor explain- | ed to Woodruff, was opposed to both of them. The Governor also advised Mr. Woodruff not to withdraw, but to bring his delegation of 1200 to the ecity. Mr. Woodruff had contemplated telegraphing | them to remain at home. Senator Platt and State Chairman Odell declared during the evening that Governor Roosevelt would accept the nomination if it were tendered to him. mM;deanlng his mxf.;l was|bellend by s admirers, many urging him to accept. The Governor's manner indicated that in his own mind, at least, he had yielded, and his nomination came to be régarded as a foregone co lon. | | . | oh, | emblem of | shackle | | key: is obvious that a large portion of the vot- | | ing population of Havana, perhaps 30,000, was not attracted to the ranks of the | party during the year and half prior | to. the election. This was chiefly the re- sult of a lack of confidence in the party | leaders. | Another fact demonstrated by the elec- | tion is the inability of the Republican Yeaders. headed by Juan Gualberto Gomez and Domingo Mendenez Capote, with their | organ, La Discussion, to cut an important | | figure in the politics of Havana. The Re- | publican leaders have failed all along the | | line to justify their pretensions. | “Senor Mora contends that he polled a | majority of the voters in the better ciass | | districts_and he attributes the triumph raud and the | of the Nationalists to votes of the mob. . Impartial judges attribute the outcome | to the hard work done by the Nationalist leaders. General Rodriguez declines tc | outline his plans, preferring to wait until the Havana charter has been made public its definition of his powers.

KANSAS CITY, June 17.—The Burling- ton passenger train from Denver reached the Union Depot late last night in a sad- ly wrecked condition, having passed through one of the severest hail, wind and rain storms which iflway men say they ever encountered. The train ran into the storm between Falls City and Rulo, Neb., forty miles west of St. .lj.wnh, Mo. The railroad men say that at’times it seemed as if the cars would be lifted from the tracks. The storm struck the train in an open piece of country and the engineer threw open the throttle in the hopes of | running away from it. The train was filled with people and in | the cars there was great excitement. With all the wind and rain came hail. Hail- stones fell as large as baseballs, Every window in the north side of the sleeper, three coaches and one mail car was smashed. Glass flew all over the cars and many of the passengers were cut by flying fragments. Water poured in through the windows and_fairly flooded the cars. The mall clerks in the mail car climbed up near the roof of the car to keep dry. Much of the malil matter was damaged by wa- ter. The damage done the cars and sleep- er will amount to about $500. Every win- | dow in the engine cab was smashed by the hail. BLOCK OF BUILDINGS IN SONORA BURNED Origin of the Fire Unknown and the Damage Will Amount to Sev- eral Thousand Dollars.
